II we have not school houses which re-.
fleet so much credit upon our city as those
Of other places do upon them, we at least
have schools in which we may take an honest
and hearty pride. We venture the remark,
that In no other city in Indiana, are there
better public schools, or public schools
wherein the scholars are taught more thor
oughly in all the ordinary branches, than in
Evansville. Some of our citizens have had
this week an opportunity of judging from
well conducted examin atoms of scholars, the
real worth of our common schools. They
have seen a vast number of children, the ma
jority OF whom would be learning vice in the
streets bot for these institutions, congrega-
ted in the school rooms, and making rapid ad.
vancement in their studies. This advancement
is quite as rapid as that which has marked
the progress of the scholars of the best pri-
vate schools we have ever had in Evansville.
This fact alone, with the character Of the
teachers engaged as principals and assistants
in these schools, proves that they are such as
may well be regarded with pride by those
who know them best. We are glad to see
liz these schools children of all classes-the
children of the poor and Of the rich. This
commingling of youths in the school room,
where industry aud ability alone can elevate
any one above his fellows, is the best educa.
ton in the world to make the man feel, after
the boy is thrown aside, and he takes his
place among his fellow-men, that his own
exertions and industry and ability, must
alone be depended upon to secure him char.
acter and position, while oil the distinctions
of birth and wealth are vanity.
But we must be brief. Last Tuesday.
"Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were de-
voted 10 public school examinations. We
were unable to attend the examinations, ex-
cept for an hour at Mr.. knights school,
Therefore we connot speak i'm detail or make
But we learn from gentle

particular they gave great satisfaction. They
the capacity and faithfulness OF
the teachers, and the steady attendance and
industry of the scholars. We have no hest.
tation in saying, founding the remark on the
result OF these and previous examinations

TO send their children of proper age, to these
schools. lin excellent circumstances, send

to do even that much for them-to place
them where virtue not vice will be taught.
and where they will be prepa ed to FL, use full
and honorable positions in life instead of iails
and penitentiaries! Truly, it would seem SO.

The Sentinel VS.. the me,nodts,.,

The State Sentinel, the leading Democra-
tic paper in this State, is disposed to start a
crusade against the Methods,s, and espe-
cially the Methodist preachers, because they
in the spirit of religion and morality, dissent
from the views of the late Democratic State
Convention. The Sentinel says in speak
ing of the Methodist preachers-"the course
Of the preachers who dissent from the con.
vention, is as intolerant as the policy of the
Catholic Church ever was. Moreover, the
Democrats have been liberal to the Metho-
dists, and it is cheer ingrattude for them to
turn round on the party in this STYLE" In
other words, the Sentinel means to say. that
by giving Methodists Offices of trust at times,
the recipients of their generosity, and the
whole church, should consider themselves
under bond to support every piece of rascal.
ity Of opinion or action, of which Democrat
ic conventions may be guilty. II thew don't
do this, they are guilty of sheer ingratit ude >
II is notorious fact that the cunning Dem
ocratic leaders in this State have lost no op-
portunty of counting up the Methodists, and
to do this more effectually, have given
Methodists several prominent Offices. The
feeling or policy which made them extend
these favors TO the Church, is now palpably
apparent. The above extract tells the tale.
The whole Church, and especially the preach.
ers, were considered "bought up' by these
official gifts. That they do not choose to
consider themselves as occupying this posi-
ton, calls forth the bitter Indignation of the
leading Democratic papers in the State
Because these ministers object to giving their
sanction to the proceedings of that most ex
cellent State Convention, and openly ex.
press their feelings on the subject, their
course is called Gas intolerant as the policv

Catholics can divide this pill with the Meth.
odists. Moreover they are pronounced guilty.

signed "a Citizen of Indiana" does not en-
close the authors name. For his satisfac-

truth of all such charges against certain

charges he desires to know. We do not
know whether most to pity the enmity of the
man who originated such reports, or the
credulity of the man who could believe them.
