In speaking of the South Carolina matter , he says that out of , twenty-eight, captures of illicit stills in that State since January last, the three mentioned are the only enes about which there is any suspicion of fraud.

No man or set of men, however, ought to be permitted to jeopardize the very life of the schools by getting up an ap parently unnecessary wrangle over the adoption of a certain text nook. It is well calculated to injure the schools, and already some of the opponents of the graded school system are chuckling over the situation, and felicitating each other on what they profess to believe is aa entering wedge that will ultimately result in the breaking up of the system. The, schools are even now. somewhat demoralized, despite certain representa tions to the contrary, and only the little innocent school children are the suffer era. The uestion naturally suggests itself, who is responsible for a this state of affairA Let the facts answer. , The school commissioners, by . a . majority vote of their .whole number, directed that Maury's geographies be substituted for the Eclectic. Our .local booksellers prepared . certain , memorandum orders, signed by Prof. Mitchell, for the pur chase ana exchange of . the new books" These were, put in the. hands of the school children, and over one hundred of the .Maury tographies; inoduced into the, schools. Oa Friday evening last the school board were convened in special, session,' a, bare Quorum, five members, being present.. Bj a curious co-incidence four of those present fa vored the Eclectic and all those absent favored Maury's Consequently, Mau ry's, was throwxuout.and the Eolectle reinstated.; iNow Mr Editor, what I want to know; -anddoubtless what the public wants to know," is, why, was it necessary- to. meet.
