Mr.. ED1ToR:-I am sorry TO see that the
election of State School Commissioner is to be
run into politics There is scarcely Demo-
cratic paper in the State, but that is agitating
the question, and urging the claims of favorite
polilcians-men, who if elected, will prove a
dis grace and burthen to the cause. To such
a degree of extravaganza in otlice-seeking has
the Democratic party arrived, that there is not
a single Office in the State, however paltry, but
must be filed by ranting politicians, whether
possessing sufficient talent or not. In view of
the above fact, it is not to be wondered at
then, that the $500 salary, provided for by
the law creating said office, should prove a
temptation to the greedy aspirants that make
up that party.
In making their announcements, it is clear
y evident that they have an eye more to po-
l!tcal capital and availability, than to talent
This being the case, it stands us in hand, as
true republicans and friends of common schools
to oppose this method of electing men, to such
an important post as that of State School
Commissioner. If we wish the cause of COM
mon school education to flourish in our State,
and become popular abroad, we must keep the
election of said Commissioner out of politics.
In conclusion, would suggest that the
teachers and other true friends of the cause
of education, and the welfare of our common
schools, throughout the entire State, would
meet together and resolve to use their infu-
ence and votes to secure the election of a man,
regardless of his politics, who, in their opin-
ion, possesses the requisite qualifications. If
we do not pursue different course from that
already begun, there will be nothing gained,
but rather something lost by the creation of
the office Of State School Commissioner.

Compulsory Education.

The French Government recently employed
NJ. Eugene Rondu to investigate the methods
Of popular education in Germany, with view
to sundry improvements in her own education
al systems. His report upon the subject has
recently been published. He is very much
opposed to the system of gratuitouS education,
fearing that it will operate priudicially; but
he earnestly urges the necessity of compulso-
ry instruction-of some system which shall
compel the attendance upon instruction of
some kind, of all children of the State. M.
Rondu gives some interesting information up
on the legal provisions of several of the Euro
pean States upon this point The following
statements on this subject are condensed from
his report:
Protestant States.--In Prussia, children
from six to fourteen are required to be at
school, unless their absence is justified by
certificate from the master and the cure. ABB
sentees to pay the full cure. Absentees to
pay the full school fees, and be liable to fine
Of four silver groschen. Those who cannot
pay, to give four days labor for the PARISH
Young persons are obliged to attend Sunday
schools till sixteen, upon penalty of three
thalers.
Sarony-No child is to be absent from
school without sufficient roason; and nothing,
in general to be consideIed such but illness
either of the child or some member of The
family. The school committee to ascertain
the validity Of this, or any other assigned rea-
son. If the efforts of the schoo, committee to
get the children to school are not succ essful,
fines and other means of coercion are to be
employed. Parties making insufficient excu-
! ses to be punished (D by fine of 5 silver
groschen; (2) by fine of thalers, Is silver
groschens; (3) by an equivalent period of i'm
prisonment, and on relapse by proportionate
punishment
Hanover.-The ecclesiastical authorities are
charged with the inspection Of schools, where
every child from the age of six are required to
attend unless sufficiently instructed else
where.
Catholic States Bavaria.--N No child is all
lowed to leave school until twelve years of
age, and then not without an examination, and
certificate, which is necessary to apprentice
ship and marriage.
AuStria-All children, boys and girls, rich
and poor, from the age of six years. must go
to school till they are twelve years of age
The condition of the children is regulated ev-
cry year, at the autumnal festivals, compared
with the baptismal registers and settled by
the curate of the parish. No one can be ems
gagged as a shepherd unless he has certif-
cate declaring that he has at school received
religious instruction, and that he has gone
through a satisfactory examination. Sandus-

The Junction Rail Road Company
Another Injunction.

In the case of James Moore and others
against the Junction Rail Road Company,
Ebenezer Lane and others, pending in the
Court of Common Pleas of Ottawa County,
Ohio. The following injunction was granted
on Tuesday the Sd of May on the exparte
application of tke plaintiffs.
"An Injunction is allowed against said
junction Rail Road Company, its officers,
agents, and servants, restraining them from
constructing Rail Road across the Sandus-
ky Bay, and from placing any obstruction
therein, and from constructing a Rail Road
from Sandusky city to the Maumee River by
any other route than to and by the Town of
Fremont in Sandusky County; and an in
junction is so granted against all the other
defendants in said cause restraining them
from in any manner, directly or indirectly
aiding the said Junction Rail Road company
in constructing the junction Rail Road acros;
said Bay, or from Sandusky city to the Mau
NEE River in any other route than by Ere
mont"
The object and effect Of this second Injunc
ton against the Junction Rail Road Co. vii
be understood from the following statement
The Junction Co. is enjoined from bridging
Sandusky Bay by the decision, of Judge
Mclean. Those who obtained this Injunc
ton are at once tod by the other party tha
the construction of the Bridge will be pro
ceeded with under the name of the Port Gin
ton Rail Road Co. Now it is we'll known
that this latter Co. is mere man Of straw
whose pockets are to be filled with the bonds
and funds Of the Junction Co. 1t will never
draw the breath Of life except through the
nostrils of the Junction Co. The object and
effect of this second Injunction is to restrain
the Junction Co. from doing by this man o
straw what it cannot do by itself, viz bridge
Sandusky Bay. BY this injunction it is forbid
den to use its funds, and its officers agent:
and servants are forbidden to aid in the con
struction ofsuch bridge. This man of straw
therefore, whose breath was in the nostrils o
the Junction Co. and not in his own. has col
lapsed. The stalking horse on which the
Junction Co. hoped to ride across Sandusky
Bay, has stumbled and fallen at the outset
and left his rider on the East side of the Bay
where for the present he will certainly re-
main.

Very Rich.

The Spiritual Harbinger, paper printed in
Rochester, New York, and advocating the
Spiritual Rappings mania, has the following:
On the twelfth hour the glory Of God, the
life in God, the Lord in God, the Holy Proce-
dure shall crown the Tribune Creator with
the perfect disclosure illumination. Then
shall the Creation in effulgence, above the
divine seraphimal arise into the dome of the
disclosure in one comprehensive revolving
galaxy OF supreme created Beattudes.'
After copying the above paragraph, ths
Cayuga Chief responds as follows:
Then shall the black heads, in the jack
asstcal dome of disclosive procedure, above
the ALFRED great leatherfungus of Peter Nip
ninney go, the Goosberry Grinder, rise into
the dome disclosive until coequal, and cock
tensive and conglomerated lumuxes in one
comprehensive mux, shall assimillate into
nothing, and revolve like bob tailed pussy
cat after the space where the tail was. Can
the Harbinger understand our spiritual mani
festatons." ~

Sunset MedItatIOns.

A soft and hallowed light Is spreading DER
The face ofearth, and all things living feel
Its sweet aud soothing influence. The sun
Has spent The speudor Of his MONDAY blaze,
And now, like ripe old aga of honored ones,
Sinks down, to leave us not trace Of what,
lie has been, save the memory Of his brightness
Like his career o.day, have been the lives
Ofthose whom we, the sons ofearth, ,call'd great
Their sun of glory
Rose with their youth, and upward sped its way
Until, the zeni,h of its glory reached its mid -day
splendor
Glared fearfully upon us, and the miud
Was dazrled as tie eye was upward turned
To rea d The record Of their noble deeds.
But soon the twilight OF old age came on,
And softened down their fame TO richer color,
GAS pictures owe their mellow tints TO time"
We look upon them now with pride and awe,
And with our blessings following their steps,
Watch anxously the fading of their glory
Before the darkness of the night of death.
AS the setting sun
Leaves behind flood of yellow light,
Gliding the mountain tops and western sky,
And shedding soft refulgence on the vale,
SO the memory Of earth's mighty ones,
Gliding the page of history, shines upon us
Whh clear and chastened light, until
Some mighty revolution bears them down
Into the ss-Forgelfulness.
Sunset is an hour of quiet joy.
A sole Inn soothing feeling steals upon us
A kind Of dreamy, listless revery,
In which the phantoms ofthe buried Past
Fit over Memory, leaving the o'erwrought mind
To mediate upon the feeting shadows
Ofyears by gone.
There was time, ere cold adversely
And disapPOntment's chill swept O'er my Tyre,
That could set me down at close of day,
And sing of future joys that lightedup
The idle visions of my coming life;-
Could sing of hope, ofhonors, happiness,
Which lent 10 this dull life glowing charm.
But now It's changed Misfortune's blasting
winds
Its strings have severed. II now lies mute;
Or only yields the harsh, dscordant notes
Atuned 10 nought but sorrow, doubt and dread.
AS tw light spreads her mantle over the earth,
And all is hushed to quiet
Beneath the influence of the magic spell,
From the abyss of Time comes floating up
A vision of broken atars-blasted hopes
Friends scattered-honors crumbled into dust
Ofsuch is life. w.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-John Aspden
whose sudden death was noticed in our col
umns, was one of the English claimants Of
the immense estate left By Matthias Aspden.
Before the case was decided by the Supreme
Court in favor of the American heirs, the latter
proposed to the deceased to compromise the
matter, and offered to pay him the sum Of
$3.50, 900 to relinquish his claim; this he re-
fused to do. and the decision of the Court cut
him off without farthing. Gu Monday NOR
ming the estate was divided between the heirs
at law, AMI almost at the same moment John
Aspden fell dead at tayeLn in Carter's alley,
of disease of the heart supposed to have been
induced by Disappointment and modification.
AT the time Of his death his pockets contained
a solitary cent his entire fortune To-day
the man who migt have been possessor ofa
quarter Of million of dollars will be borne to
his grave from an obscure part of the district
Of Southwark.--PhRadelphia Bulletin I'm.

The Chicago Journal says truly: Ifthese lew
els and crossings are persisted in as at pres
ent established, lis frightful accident is but
the opening one of a series that we may ex-
pect to make newspaper notice Of, as long as
we edit paper.
The agents are to blame for permitting trains
10 run out of time, and neither of the trains
had any business to be where they were when
the accident happened
The conductors are to blame for not keep
ing on their regular time, regardless of all
other consequences, and more than all to the
needless & h headstrong engineers in conduct
of the rival trains, Who could not but have
seen and known the danger of their rashness,
in plenty of time to have prevented catastro-
phe.
We hope and trust that the law with its
severest rigor, will visit the guilty parties
and punish them as their conduct deserves.
Human safety demands 1.-THE laws allow
it and the courts ought to award it, in justice
to a responsive echo that answers to the voice
Of an entire community.
