INDIAN RELros.-During the past two
or three weeks workmen have been en-
gagged in cutting away part of the hill
on which the Court House is being erec-
ted, Immediately in the rear of the bull
ding. In the progress of the work some
curious deposites of bones have been
found, which, from their position and
general appearance, are supposed to
have belonged to the Choptank Indians,
a powerful and numerous tribe, former
ly in possession of this country, and
from whom the Choptank river, { Indian
for blue water takes its name. Only a
few feet have been taken from the width
of the hill, the excavation extending sim
ply around portion of the edge of it.
The height of the hill is about eight or
ten feet, which corresponds with the
depth to which the workmen have dug.
In this space bones enough have been
found to have formed, if put together,
some twenty or thirty entire frames, and
the size of the bones is such as to give
proof that they are those of race Of
men much above the ordinary statue
On Friday last skeleton was discovered
entire, and in sitting posture, having
at the head a stone of moderate dimen-

tie. Many of the skulls are broken
and injured as if by violence, and one in

@ There is some little complaint
made at Rio Grande P. o., in this coun-

papers regularly. This is very annoy
ing to us. particularly when we know
the papers are regularly mailed and
that it is not our fault. Postmasters
should be particular and not allow pa

as it creates very unpleasant feelings,

One of the young men convicted be-
fore the Police Court, as game-keeper at
the rondo-room in Fifth street, yesterday
paid his fine and was discharged from
custody. From friend we learn the
young man is of highly respectable pa
rentage, in Boston, who are in good cir
cumstances. He came to this city on a
tour of observation and spent all his
money. Being without friends and mon
ey, in a strange city, he was soon en-
trapped by the rondo keepers, and en-
ployed, at salary of IS per day, to
keep game for them. He says he had
scarcely been fifteen minutes at the ta-
bic before the officers made descent on
the house 1t is to be hoped that the
result of his first step in crime will have
salutary effect, and that in future he
may eschew the company of gamblers
and those who make living by entrap-
ping the unwary.-Gn. Eng.

rThe Vis-a-Vis says On Sunday
last the people at New River were
thrown into CONSERVATION by the ap-
pearance Of a negro man in the neigh

day previous, two citizens Of New
River, were roughly accosted by the
man, and finding that it would be haz-
ardous to attempt to take him, they
went into the settlement and obtained
reinforcement. The party went and
found the man at night-he was order
ed to halt refused, and snapped his
gun at the party; whereupon they
fired-the shot taking effect and pro-
ducipg almost instant death. The
negro belonged to Edward Moore Of

Subornation Of Peyury.-There
is an honest old man walking about
the streets selling canes, who was ap-
preached by gentleman, who want
ed him to act as a witness in one Of
the District Courts, at compensation
Of two dollars day, and to identify
persons who should apply for naturali-
zation papers. He was told that he
would only have to stand in court and
identify each individual that should
come up, swearing that he had known
the person for the requisite number
of years! 1t is scarcely necessary to
say that the old man, valuing his oath
at higher fee than the sum offered,
and indignant at the insult, promptly
refused. The conduct of the gentle
man who made the offer, requires no
comment

rThe Plaqumine Seminal Of the

tho People Of Iberville on the subject
Of the vexed question about the "Sher-
iffality" of that Parish. 1t is from
Mr.. Erwin.
The papers at Plaquemine have
been filed with nothing else for the
mast few weeks, and the matter is get
ting beautifully complicated. Ii the
election were month or so farther
off, we presume that the combatants
would willing wipe out all that has
been said, and commence the contro-
yersy again. It all resolves itself into
the simple fact that Mr.. Erwin with.
out the authority Of any party has seer
fit, to exercise the right. Of offering
himself to the people as an Independ'
ant candidate for Sheriff. And the
question simply is, what has the Office
of Sheriff to do with either ofthe great
political parties in 1beryille.

Spirit of the Morning journals.

The Daily Gazette Of yesterday
morning, contains No. l, of what we
infer to be the beginning of a series of
"walks about town." which promise to
be of great local interest. The au-
thor starts from the Gazette Office,
after the hour for ''bitters" and pro-
ceeds down the street. He would not
have run against us if he had not star
ted with this presumption "That all
the civilized world at least know
where the great town of Red Stick is
and that it is the Capital Of the
great State of Louis.ana--washed on
the left hand side by the great Miss
issippi river. This is great mistake.
Our semi-occasional correspondent,

the intelligent State Of Georgia, and
found a great many great men "thar"
who bad never "hern tell Of any SIGH
place"
Well, to proceed. The Gazctte's
author begins to speculate, and comes
at length to the "peculiarities . Of

the catalogue of ''peculiarities'' he
makes mention of the State House,
and says in one corner Of it Gov.
Hebert, reigns supreme. This is in
telligence-the Governor hasn't reign
ed in the corner Office" three whole
weeks since his election. From this
the writer goes into other Executive
Offices, and compliments the heads
thereof. This is all very correct, but
if the compliments had been bestowed
on the clerks thereof, it might have
been reward of merit" We shoule
like to know, when the writer for the
Gazette ever found all the State func
tionaries at their post? That time il

a word in reference to our sable one
eyed friend, the guardian genious o
the establishment. If punctual atten

Public Education.


good thing, recognizing in his AUDI
itory, a look Of appreciation, he sat
down and said no more. Whether
this TOOK place before the Poet discov-
cred ''that ignorance is bliss, we can
not stop now to enquire.
The system Of Public Education in
this State, imperitively demands the
attention of its intelligent citizens.
If it cannot haze their aid, it should
be Immediately abolished, as worse than
useless expenditure Of public treasure.
The Constitution of 1845 contains an
elaborate system, constructed by men
entirely void Of any knowledge, either
of education or common business tran
actions. The Convention f'52, from
which the present Constitution emil
mates, obliterated the whole plan, and
adopted a clause, saying briefly in its
stead "there shall be system of Free
Public Education by the State"
This is entirely sufficient. The LIST
Legislature under the New Constitu-
ton, formed system beautifully
absurd" This system has no prac-
ticable feature in it, and the people
are taxed under it, to support in most
of the parishes-ignorant and ineth-
cent Teachers better adapted intel
lectually and physically to "sp)it cord
wood"
It'll not to be wondered at, that the
people will not send their children to
such public schools as we have-and
that Public education is consequently
falling into the hands Of the Jesuits.
They know very we'll how to WELD
the power thus given them, and are
sowing seeds, the harvest of which is
to cost the State of Louisiana, if not
the United States more trouble than
is at present dreampt of.
We like the society of the Jesuits
for its perfect goyernment.-We like
it because it has been the pioneer
in the field of intelligence-we like it
because in its sacred archives are
deposited all the literary treasures OF
the past but as an auxilery to the
Roman Catholic Church, it is to be
feared in the Republic more than any
thing else. Such being the case (and
we presume that there is not a man
, in the community who has ever be-
slowed serious thought on the sub
ject who will deny it) the duty Of
every good citizen is to disregard
"party" in the November contest fol
the Legislature, and select such mer
as we may hope to receive from, &
practicable system Of Public Education
based upon business principles if moi
common sence.
In the New Orleans papers we no
tice card to A. H. Lamon, the Whie
! nominee, for the Office of State Super
intendant of Education, and his an.
