Tho New Scbool Law How Unjust
Radicals Are.
Democrats cannot expect justice front
these people. They had by their extrava:
gancc while in power spent the money of
the State and. left the Democrats with an
empty treasury to find means to fill it up.
They had stabbed the credit of the State by
their extravagance and corruption in their
party and now they cry out against Deino
crats because they have not raised millions
a good part of which is to pay debts con-
tracted by these very Radicals. They granted
many millions to two railroad corporations
making a public debt which it will take
generations to pay if even the part not
compromised should be enforced and it is
currently believed that these grants were
purchased by bribery ; aud yet now they
are crying out' "Repudiation Repudiation"
because the people of Texas demand that
the International Railroad Company shall
compromise with them upon a just basis.
But the meanest yes the smallest and
very meanest action these Radicals have
committed is their course upon the new
public school law. They havo raised a hue
and cry against the Democrats about it and
have charged that the latter have struck
down our public schools and yet these give
only denunciation in place of argument.
One of their objections to tho new law is
made in the charge that it only provides
that the schools shall be taught four months
in tho year and this is paraded dished up
hurled out and disseminated to produce
prejudice against the new law. And yet
they have never had the candor or houesty
to state to the people that this same provis-
ion wascontained in their school law ami
now we will prove it.
Section 18 of the Radical school law of
August IS 1870 provides:
"Free public schools shall be taught at
least four months in each year ana they
may be taught for a greater period if tho
school fund is sufficient or if the citizens of
the district by subscription or advancement
will supply the deficiency."
The new school law of .1S73 provides:
"Sec. 29. The public free schools shall be
taught for at least four consecutive months
in each scholastic year. And section twenty-
two provides: That the free schools may
continue for a longer period than four
mooths if the amount of tho school fund is
sufficient or if the citizens of the district
or sub-district by payment of teachers or
subscription will supply the deficiency."
These extracts show clearly that there is
no diUcrence in tho old and new law upon
this point and that these Radical slanderers
and libellers have boen trying to throw dust
into the people's eyes to excite prejudice.
And some Democrat too misled as we
would charitably believe have made this
same charge against the new school law.
How could the schools be taught without
funds to meet their expenses! And how
could the people expect the State to have
thtm targht more than four months per
year without the necessary funds' And
who but the people would be to blame if
they would not supply the deciency I The
Eew school hw is a far better one than the
old because more simple and h'ss expensive
and the temptation' to wrong the biste out
cf tho school fund is rare fully guarded
ecruDst.
"It little becomes a Democrat or any citi-
ren to try to wri;e down this law but from
Ili-Iicals nothing l etter is expected. It tuny
have defects but these will soon be appa-
rent and it is the duty of every friend of
ptd lie schools t give it countenance and
i c'p to show the defects an 1 have them
anvnde 1 cr supplied.

The Disaster on tbe Potomac.
"Washington August 9. The Wawossct
horror is fully confirmed. Jlost of the pas
sengers perished fcne left Y asuington on
her regular passenger trip for Cane river
She burned oil Chattcrton Landing where
there is no wharf the passengers and freight
being landed by small boats.
A boat had been lowered for this purpose
w hen the flames burst out and the vessel
was 200 yards from the shore. Nothing
remains but a broken shaft and smoke
stack.
The passengers were registered when she
left "Washington but she received and dis-
charged some at various landings of whom
no record was kept.
The crew consisted of twelve aud there
were probably fifty passengers.
Tho cause of the fire is unknown. As
soon as discovered the boat headed for the
shore but struck on a bar on tbe Virginia
side. Many ladies and children were on
board visiting friends at the adjoining
places of resort down the river ; many col-
ored people were also aboard.
Ten bodies were washed ashore five of
whom are unknown.
All accounts applaud the gallantry of the
captain and crew.
STATEMENT OF CAIT. WOODS.
"The fire broke out at 12 :23 o'clock. I was
in the pilot house and a fireman came and
told me the boat was on fire below I im-
mediately came out and found that the
flames had reached quite to the hurridane
deck and saw it was impossible to get to the
the life boats which were on the after
quarter on each side to low er them although
they were full of passengers. I threw
water on the wheel ropes so as to keep her
steerage ail right and passed buckets of
water from below to the hurricane deck for
the purpose as there was no hope of saving
the vessel and that the only chance to save
the passengers was to keep her going head-
ing for the beach. She reached the beach
in twelve minutes after the alarm was
given; in less than five minutes after the
first alarm the fire reached tho pilot house.
"Tho engines stopped working about
half a minute before she struck the shore
and the boat run a length and came to a dead
stand and grounded in less than five feet
water at the bow. I remained on the hurri-
cane deck till the window curtain in my
room and saloon windows were burnt then
I came down on tho forward deck and did
what I could to save the passengers. A
great many were afraid to jump overboard
though I assured tnem the water was not
over their heads. One or two made leaps
and the rest seeing that the water was shal-
low followed and were saved. It was with
difficulty I prevented their jumping over in
large bodies and drowning each other dur-
ing the excitement. Nearly ali that were
lost were in the stern of the boat ; and the
flames driving that way forced them to
jump overboard or be burnt.
"Just before 1 left the boat 1 saw Mrs.
Taylor of Alexandria hangingito the mid-
dle chains crying for help. I sent a boat
and rescued her. I am satisfied the excite-
ment caused undue loss of life. Many were
lost by the life boats being over-crowded.
Before the boat stopped each of them was
crowded with colored passengers. The
stern of one bulged out when she was cut
loose and swamped her. About a dozen
small children were aboard of that one. I
think five or six were lost. The fire caught
in the hold but it is impossible to say ex-
actly where. The' boat was very dry
almost like tinder and the flames when
they struck the oiled machinery spread like
a torch. The cargo was miscellaneous. '
"The steamer Georgiana came along frpm
Baltimore and brought a few of the pas-
sengers who were well taken care of. The
steamer was valued at $40000."
Vashixgtos Aug. 9. Another steamer
arrived here at 7. r. jr. bringing up threo
bodies of those who perished at the burning
of the "Wawosset. They were : Miss
Bcttie Reed a child of Ginnas Reed and a
colored child whose parents reside on Mad-
ison street. Twelve bodies have been re-
covered nine of them being colored women
and three children who were not identified.
They were nil buried on shore after a de-
scription of each body had been made for
further identification. Persons were en
gaged in grappling to-day about the wreck
but only one body was fished up that of a
colored woman who could not be identified.
Another' steamer goes down to-morrow to
resume the work of grappling for the bodies.
So far only twenty bodies have been recov-
ered and it is thought there were at least
fifty persons perished.
