THE School CONVENT, oNs--The State
School Convention adopted School Sys-
tenn prepared by Judge lie Grand. when
he was Secretary of State, which with a
few amendments, it recommended TO the
Legislature as proper foundation for a
law. We understand that it is pet prof.
ect Of the Judges, and probably owes its
adoption to his influence, and that it will
not be likely to receive much favor al TIE
hands ofthe legislature.
The Consentlo n appointed The follow
ing committee to address the people OF the
State on the subject Of education j. S.
Tyson OF Howard District, Dr.. Arnold OF
Hartford, VIM. Penn Chopper OF Cecl',

| The Cecil county School Convention
meets in the Court House on Tu' sday
next. 1t is expected that large number
OF our citizens will be present 10 partlci-
pate IN lis deliberations.
Some two Or three weeks ago we pub
lshed an article or two, giving our views
on the subject OF free schools in the coun-
! tv, in which we made calculation OF the
cost they would probably impose upon
taxpayers. From those articles some have
inferred that we are opposed to Free
School Svstem-an inferrnce which is in
correct. We made those statements, So
that our readers might STE the whole bear
ing OF the case. We have been charged
with causing, by those articles, many to
array themselves against the school move
ment. We intended no such thing-we
deemed it right to show how the scheme
would operate and what it would cost, IN
the belief that it should be understood and
its merits canvassed, and the objections tic
il met. There is no Disgusting the fact
it will cost money, but in our opinion adj
vantages would grow out of it far over,
balancing an estimate of its cost in dollar,
and cents, which no doubt will be showr
by its advocates in the Convention o
Tuesday next.

THAT NoNpnscRIrr.-Aw oolty horse
, has been on exhibition lately in several OF
the cities, advertised to be nondescrip
caught by Col. Fremont's party on the
river ella. 1t last week reached Wash
ing'on and was pronounced by Col. Ben
ton ga gross imposition on the public, -
and a card IN the Inteligencer by his au-
thority denounces the imposture and states
that it is an old horse with woolley hair,
and shaved name and tail, formerly used
by colored man to haul ashes in New
York.
The exhibitor, who proves to be Ihos
NJ. Coleman, formerly OF this place, also
issues card, denying that the horse was
ever used in New York, but saying Moth
ing about it being caught by Col. Fremont,
which, however, he states in his handbllls
and advertisements.
There is no doubt but the thing is a gross
cheat, not gotten up: though, by Coleman
who seems to be acting something in
the capacity of an ostIer. We used to
think that fellow was a knave and hum
hng when he was here, and We cannot say
that this horse business changes our opin-
ion.
Sine writing the above, we see Cole
man ha, been arrested at the instance of
Col. Benton, on the charge of obtaining
money under false prctences, and bound
over to APPEAR at the next term Of the
criminal court of the District, in the sum
of $500. Col Benton and II. II. Dent
Esq, appeared for the prosecution.
