The official records show that the ; correspondent of the New York Sun has not only *“*made a fool of him- self.”’ but that he has also not told the truth. His statement that the South Carolina Democrats do rot want to educate the negro is a base | and malignant fabrication. Almost | the very first act of the Democrats after regaining control ot the State | government in 1876 was to submit « constitutional amendment tothe peo- ple for the ‘‘levy of an annual tax of not less than two mills on the dollr of all the taxable property’? in the State, to be *‘paid out exclusively for the support of the public schools.”’ | In addition te the amount realized from this source the entire poll tax receipts goto the support of the public schools, and in various sec- tions spec.al levies are also made for the same purpose. Much the larg- est portien of the taxes for the sup- port of the public schools is paid by tne white Democratic property ho!- ders ot the State, and is paid out for} the instruction uf the children of the | State without regard to race or col- | or, under precisely the same condi- | tions. In 1880-1 the schocl fund | amounted to $452,965 44. The 1 school fund of 1881-82 is believed to have been even in excess of this amount. In 1880-1 there were 72, | 11g negro children attending the pub- lic schools in the state. here were 10,750 more negro than white children attending public schools. | In 1881-2 there were 80,575 negro children in our public schools, an ex- cess of 15,176 negro pupils over the number of white pupils. In 1888-S2 the amount expended tor the pupils | enrolled was $3 15 per capita. At this rate the state, in 1880-51, ex- pended for the education of the ne-, gro children $229,104 85, or $33, 957 more than the amount paid out for the education of the white chil- dren. In 1881-82 the State paid out for the education of negro childcen $253,811 25, or $47,804 40 -more | than was expended during the same period tor education the children.

He states furthermere that it 1s the desire et the government to have a complete record from the Confederate side of the struggle, | which it will ve impossible to accom- plish if any papers are withheld, and thus a result would follow which would he unjust to the actors in the contest by depriving them of their proper place in history. The circular goes on to state that while the most important large col- lections of Confederate papers have | been obtained, there are many val- uable papers that throw light upon the struggle still in the hands of per- sons that have not been reached and as these are important to a full and complete history of the Cenfed- erate armies, it 1s hoped that none of them will be with held, but that all parties having such papers will sub mit them to the examination of the the ‘‘Official Records of the War ot the Rebel- lion,’’ so called. That there are many recerds and interesting scattered over the country, and ovre- served by their owners only as souv- enirs ef their own parts in the strug- gle, isvervtrue.
