, 'Good Citizens. V
Most tejrible riota and criminal conduct,
have been committed daring the holidays,
: ia many parts of the Southern Slates, and
even ia the Northern States, by negroes or
freed men. , .
Alexandria was the scene of a mob in
which 'several persons were killed, both
whites and blacks. '
At Wilmington, a number of negro sea
men entered, the town, where they became
' drunken and disorderly ; When the police
interfered to enforce order, the negroes
tamed to-fight their way out with fire-arms.
In the affray one of the police was wouu
ded. . . .- . " : v ' ' ' '
la Norfolk, Va , tbe police were attacked
by a number of negroes, whileattempting
to arrest another negro who had been open-
: ly and defiantly breaking the peace. Two of
. the police were badly wounded. -.
There are also accounts of a large num
ber of other outrages and riots committed
. by the blacks in other southern places,
which we have not space to record.
That great institution called the "Freed-
man's Bureaa" seems to bare been the im
mediate cause of these wrongs. It
has
long- been talked, of by Northern' fanatics,
that the plantations and other property of
Confederates should be confiscated and
placed at the disposition of tbe Freedmau'a
Bureao, for gratuitous distribution among
the negroes. Some property bavins been
v. tamed over to this Bareaa, and the negroes
being deceived by the representations made
to them by the officers of the Bureau-, were
laboring under the misapprehension that
abuot the holidays, they would have set apart
for their own. private and individual use, a
certain number of acres to each freedmac.
., The holidays having, however; come upon
thera wirh no signs of the good times ex
pected; their dissatisfaction wa too great
to he concealed and forgotten without some
, forcible demonstration 'of the powers and
determinations of the blacks. They armed
themselves, with the intention of causing
general consternation among their late mas
ters, and proceeded by riotous conduct in
the large towns and cities to attempt their
work. They seem to have formed a gener
al'tanion upon the matter and having by
some means gotten possession of fire arms,
went to work almost simul'.aueously through
out the Sontb. Nothing but prompt action
of tbe police forces acd soldiery, could pre
vent the general at'ack upon the whites,
that was anticipated by the negroes. .
Here is one of the nrand results of ircrae
diate emancipation. Negroes are beings
not accustomed to liberty, and the little
knowledge they possess, either of humanity
or laws, is barely so much as to make them
barbarous, heathenish, malicious and op
posed to the restraints of law. Their exis
tence as free people of the United States
States although just iniatory, seems to be.
almost ended. Tbe problem is nearly prov
ed already,J that the political condition in
which' the emancipa'ed slaves have been
placed, is working out and will soon con
summate their annihilation at a race, in
this country.
These are the froita of false philanthropy,
and blatant loyalism, and this is the class of
people which the Sumner's and Stevense's
call "good citizens" freedmen.
. A QcMtfoa of Justice."
I The Republican puts the question "wheth-
er four millions of people now living, and
j their posterity after them, shall, be shut
; away from the witness box simply because
th?y do cot beloDg to ite, white race!''
Then continues ' to argue in the following
strain; 'Let us meet tbe issue fair and
square, are we prepared that evil minded
! white men may enter the humble abode of
I the black man, murder him in the presence
of his wile and children, steal bis property
iviaa his daughters,"
Considering the fact' that the Sumner and
Stevens party to which the Republican ed
itor belongs have fallen deeply in love
iih negro wenches, the argument is very
-trong, and there appears to be no doub'
;ut that the black man's daughters will be
n great danger.

Judge Leonard of the supreme Court ia
his city, deserves well of the conntry,, for
to bis intrepid, integrity of principle we- are
indebted for the first judicial declaration of
the fact that tbe violence of . military usur
pation'is replaced by -the prevalence of civil
law. Robert Martin, a citizen of Kentucky,
was arrested, ince the close of the war, on
some charge cf complicity with the hotel
burning conspiracy, and was detained in
Fort Lafayette. A writ of habeas corpus was
served on General Hooker, commandant of
this department; he produced the prisoner in
court, and for return made answer that Mar
tin was beld as a "spy by order of the Presi
dent. The 'case was elaborately, argued,
and after careful deliberation, Judge Leon
ard ordered the discharge of the prisoner
from military arrest.
Here is an auspicious omen of the retnrn
ol the day, when tbe authority of' law shall
supersede tbe arbitrary will of irresponsible
soldiers. . But tbe principle on which Judpe
Leonard directed the discharge of Martin is
of scarcely less consequence than the Judg
ment itself. This respectable jurist an
nounces that whenever the writ of habcat
coipus ia permitted Cooperate, no person can
be detained inenstody for an offense known
only to mrrrtary law, and cognizable only by
military courts. He declares that military
law is cf efficacy only ia time of war, and
(hat the retnrn of peace operates an amnes
ty and oblivion of all offences against the ar
ticles of war. Judge Leonard will be pleased
to accept the homage of oor aplause.
A paymaster of the United States army
went into a bank in Washington with 815,000
which be laid on the counter and turned
around for the purpose ol writing a check.
His clerk entered at the same time and
likewise placed on the counter a package
of SlO, 000 and (ben engaged in conversa
tion with a friend. Whilst the paymaster
and bis clerk were thus engaged, some par
ty in the crowd stole the $15,000 package,
with which he made hia escape unnoticed.
We clip the above statement from the
Washington news of the N. Y. WorlJ, of
f the 2Sd ult. Almost everyday we notice
accounts of stealing, done in this manner.
We believe that in moil cases they are mere
frauds practiced apon the government and
other parties to whom the money may be
long.
Later papers, give us information that not
withstanding immediate acd vigilant search
was made for the money and theif, there
i could be found no trace ef either. -
Possibly the immediate arrest of the pay
master and his clerk would have divu'ged
the secret.
The Columbia County Republican, before
the recent elections, declared, most posi
tively, in favor of President Johuson'a res
toration poIicy,and appea'ed to soldiers and
citizens of Columbia county, to vote lor the
Kepublican candidates upon that ground.'
Now, since the election is past, it takes
bold grounds on the siie of Sumnt r and
Stevens, and rejoices in the thought that
they "are in the ascendant." Sumner and ,
Stevens are both pursuing a course directly
in oppfiition to the President, and in opposi
tion to tbe provisions of the Constitution.
Sumner calls the President a "whitewaih
er," a liar, one who conceals the truth, and
this prolessed friend of the President, re
joices in (be sayings of Sumner. Sumner
calls the great and noble io!dier, Gen. Grant
a liar and falsifier, and this would be friend
of soldiers, the editor of the Republican, re
joics to hear the first soldier ot the army de
frauded, and says "we tbiekita just retri
bution for their past folly. .
But he thinks they "are in the ascendant."
Yes, in the ascendant of contempt. Their
ascendancy is the same as this verdant edi
tor is acquiring in this neighborhood, an as
cendency securing the curses and haired of
every sensible man, whether Republican or
opposition.

were in this city a few days since to urge
upon Governor Fen ton the pardon of young
Ketchum. They were fort fisd by letters
from Chief Justice Chase and others prnrai

jured by Ketchum, ar;d all the credito s
concerned (with one exception), unite, i.t if

that Ketcbum'a testimony is needed in snits
involving over a millien of dollars, and
that by his conviction and subsequent dis
qualification as a witness much injjsiice
wil be done. The ''pressure" brooght to

EDUCATIONAL.
School Law fJ.aes.ioas ! :! ? "
- ' - -
QuestionMay the President of the Board
of Directors be appointed collector of School
lax 1 ...
Answer It seems to have "been the in
tention of the legislators, on framing the
school law, that no Director should be qual
ified to to receive the apportionment oil and
act as, collector of School tax, except in the
single instance, provided for by the Act of
May Fib, 1854, Sec. 32, where the Treasu
rer is a member of the Board. The lad
clause of this Act say. - -
Provided, That in the event of their fail
ore to procure a collector for any reason,
they may'appoint to that duty tbe constable
or treasurer of the school district, who shall
forfeit for every relnsal to execute the tame
by proof thereof being made before any al
derman or justice ef the peace, the sum of
fifty dollar, which shall be added to the
school fund of the proper district.
But the duties of the President of the
board are such as would properly preclude
him from receiving the offica of collector
The act above mentioned, Sec. 13, in de
claring the duties of the president, says :
That the president shall preside at the
rate ings of the board, call special meetings
when necessary, issue the duplicate and
warrant for the collection of the districttaxes,
take -.efficient bond from the district treasur
er lor the fai.hful discharge of his duty, and
ign the certificate of the assessment of the
district taxes, and all orders on the district
treasurer by order of the board, also the an
nual report of the district to the county su
perintendent and generally do and perform
all o:her acts and duties lawlally pertaining
to the ofTiice of president of the board.
Sclncl.
Success or failure of individuals in any
avocation of life depends almost exclusively
upon the amount ot knowledge which the
person may have gained concerning the
particular work which is to be accomplish
ed and the peculiar nature of the thing to
be worked with. We know that the bust- f
ness or trading class of people in the' conn
try never undertake to act in any business
or matter of speculation, wiihoat first giv
ing doe and careful at'ention to all possible
contingencies that may arise while carrying
out the proposed object. No careful man
enters upon any work without these
thoughts. In many instances weeks,months
and even years are spent in diligent thought
apon some otject in contemplation.
This being true, concerning the ordinary
pursuits in life, we address ourselves to
teachers of common schools, and ak them
if it be not also necessary to success, that
one upon assuming charge of a school
should study most diligently the work to be
done and the probable impediments which
may arise in his path 'of duty. Should a
teacher not study the component parts of a
school, and the variety of forces which are
therein centered and combined, and oper
ating continually either for or against the
best iiiierets of the school and the vicinity
as also o! the teacher himself. This being
the course which we suppose every teacher,
with honest intentions, should pursue, we
propose to undertake herein and in luure
articles, tho suggestion of a few ideas,
concerning- the operating forces of schools,
and necessarily tbe doties ol teachers and
others interested in the progress of edacu
tional institutions.
The first Inquiry of how one intends to
engage ia the responsible duties of a teach
er is; What is a school? A natcral re
ply would be it is a place where pcpils
are B9aemoiu tor tne purpose ot receiving
instruction
The indolent teacher miht !
stop here, and imagine this enough for him
to know at present. But does a careful man
when about to embark in business, as a
merchant, merely ak, what is merchan
dise? No; he searches the intricacies nf
the merchant's calling and is not content
till be feels perfectly competent to act in
such capacity with success. Thus we ere
lead to inquire into the component parts of
a school and learn the forces acting in cot
junction with the teacher and the manner
ia which tney act.
Here we seem to be alrrost overwhelmed
by the consciousness of duties to be per
formed, iu order to harmonize the discord
ant elements of a common school. We
learn by analysing a school that it is "made
of many combinations. The teacher being
the ruling or governing, and instructing ele
ment, be becomes the most important, ar,d
the one upon whom devolves the highest
duties, for if the teacher does not work for
the greatest good of the school tio power
can make it beneficial to ponils and the
r
community.
Thepopilsare found to be the .next in
importance; their immediate presence Bp
erating directly and at all times. These
two parts form tbe school apparent. 3ut
there are lorces operating continually and
with powerful effect, which although not
seen in the persons of the parties acting,
are felt by the teacher and pupils, aid add
o or detract from the progress of the
school. They are, the Directors operation
- a
in their official capacity : the parents of
pupils, operating ;hroogh the media of thsir
children ; and Ihe expressed public opin
ionr relating to the teacher, personally or as
a teacher, the directors, or the pupils.-
The effect and manner in which these
forces enter the school should be attentively
considered by every teacher.
The School Directors of Locust, Roarin,
creekfand Bloom School Districts, have re
cently purchased full sets of Cornell's out
line maps, in thirteen numbers, to supply
each school in the respective districts, with
a set. This is a proper move and manifests
a fair progress in the schools, and increas
ing interest in educational matters.
The directors of several other districts are
earnestly considering the same project, and
before the winter, is past we hope to ai
nounce that, at least one half of tbe Schools
in Columbia county, bare been supplied
with outline maps.
It is said that Gen. Gideon J. Pillow is
building a large shoolhoase and providing
teachers for his former slaves., He owned
quite a large number, soma two or three
hundred we beliefs.
CAKKIEH'S ADDREilS.
No one can count the hopes and joys,
: The sorrow and the pain; 1
That thousand hearts have felt since taut
Tbe New Year came again.
And who can tell the thousand more
J That shall in this betide
Tbe lies of friendship and of love
That shall be knit or sundered wide ?
To many thi has been the last
To gladden life's bright way;
And many more will wish't had been r
'The last of their dark day.
The generous impulse has been chilled
By selfishness and gnile;.
The noble, friendly prompting, check'd
And betrayed with a smile.
While upon others joys have beamed
.And goodness nerved the heart
To deeds that generous impulse prompts,
And purest joys impart.
The faithful and devoted throb
Of true hearts fond and dear,
Reminds that earth is not all dross
And Heaven i ever near.
The times are sadly out of joint,
When rogues can daily make their point,
in splendid swindle such as fill,
The public prints and raind, until
Integrity is out of date . '
-And only he seems truly great,
Who forges, steels or runs away ;
And it seems stupid now to pay
An hone.t debt in promised time,
Or to keep fingers out of crime ;
Now railroads lords and bankers cal I
Their credi'ors together all,
And from Sir John to Harry down,
Ask an "extention" from the town ;
While foplings with mora beard than brains
Swell largely on ill gotten gains ;
And 'tis most lucky now to know
Quite nothing, as elections show,
And easier far 'tis to excite .
Fraternal love for black than wnrTE.
- Too many try to lve by wit
Who have no stock to make a hit,
Or try to live in indolence
On others earnings, wiih no sense
Of shame nor of aoght el.e but pride
To sneer at labor and deridrf
The hand that earns their daily bread
And luxuries from loot to head.
God grant that death with noiseless wing
May lose the poison of hissting
That war may cease its hideous hum,
And silenced be the battle drum,
That man may learn the arts ef love,
And learn more of the God above.
May northern produce, rich with food
Seek first the southern brotherhood,
And souihern staple quickly hie
Our northern comforts to supply ;
While in ihe councils of the land
May North and South united stand.
Columbia's, sons, ye men of mark !
Crush ye the first incendiary spark,
That brings to light disunion tire,
And let the traitor feel your ire,
'Til men who wonld this Union sever
Shall live in infamy forever.
And yon, ye patrons of the Stah
Who love to spread its new alar,
Remember now the carrier-boy
Whose eager steps increase yo'ir joy ;
He wishes ycu a blithe New Year,
Ur.ceaMng joy and bounteous cheer.
