The Democratic Sentiment.

The unity of feeling which induced the De-
mocratic members of the Assembly to unite at
the commencement Of the session in common
caucus, without regard to past divisions, and
select candidates for officers of the House, and
which enabled the Democratic senators and
members to hold a similar caucus at the close
of the session, and put forth to their constitu
ents, according to good old usage, an address
expressing the cordial union of all the Demo
cratic representatives on the important ques-
tons Of the winter, is very expressive of the
real union Of sentiment which exists among
the Democrats Of the State. 1t shows that
they now hold principles in common, and that
it is likely for the future to be much more diff
cult TO keep them apart, than to induce them
to fight shoulder to shoulder against COM
mon foe The management of the affairs of
this State has sunk so low and become so cor
rupt, that patriotism arouses Democrats to the
duty of arresting the downward progress
They are promptly responding to the call, and
are not disposed longer to waste their strength
in internal divisions, which destroy their power
and influence at home and abroad.

A MERITED TRIBUTE-HoN. pAULUs
POWELL

We find in the Charlottesville Jc6erSonian
the following just tribute to Mr.. Powell
With that un,iring zeal which is so char
acterstc Of the man, the Hon. Paulus Powell
is rendering yeoman service in the Democratic
cause in this district, attending not only public
gatherings, but visiting his fellow.citizens at
their fresides, and discussing with them the
important issues which enter into the pending
contest in Virginia. We doubt if there is within
the limits Of the Commonwealth any man who
is doing more for the success of our candidates,
than this tried and pnfatering supporter of
Democratic principles. If ever there existed
in representative those sterling qualities Of
head and heart, which should endear him to
his constituents and which render him emf
nently worthy of their renewed and continued
trust and confidence, that man is the Hon.
Paulus Powell, the late honored representative
in Congress from this Richmond District.
Although, while occupying seat in the
halls of Congress, he has not consumed the
time of the House and the money of the coun-
try in making useless and empty speeches for
Buncomh as is too frequently the case with
the members of Congress; yet his representa-
tive career has been marked By an ability, an
efficiency, and an honest and patriotic dis
charge OF duty, which challenges the admira-
ton Of every honest and right thinking man.
There is no act Of his political course in Con-
gress, which even his bittcrest opponents dare
to condemn, as inconsistent with the trust re-
posed in him, and with the promptings Of an
honest and patriotic heart.

Public schoois.--We have always taken
joced in their prosperity everywhere. Those in
this city have, we believe, been generally well
conducted producing rich educational fruits. But
deeply regret thai the little people, the more
than two thousand scholars, both boys and girls,
poorly provided with accommodations
as the board of trustees represent They say that
the apartments and buildings for the greater part,
occupied as school houses, are ill-adapted 10 the
purposes for which they are used; they are de-
fcient in space, in facilities for ventilation, in
suitable means for the admission Of air and light,
and they are so contracted as necessarily 10 com
pei teachers and pupils 10 breathe viliated at
mosphere, thereby inducing wearness, languor,
headache, nervous irriiabiliiy, and promoting the
development Of pulmonary and other diseases.
In many instances which have been brought TO
the notice Of the trustees, pupils have suffered
from serious illness, The cause Of which might be
traced to the public school rooms.
The amount appropriated during The present
year for rent of rooms is 81 CTS, which is the in
teres, of more than $4,000; and, in the opinion of
the trustees, The present mode OF renting school
rooms has nothing to recommend II on the score
of economy, health, or public convenience; there
lore, they urge upon the city councils the expedi-
ency Of commencing Immediately the erection Of
substantial school houses in those parts of the
city where the most pressing necessity for them
exists.
Unless this shall be done. the present system
will, according TO the account OF the trustees,
prove a curse, physically, TO the children brought
under public school instruction. Humanity, or a
just sense Of the obligations Of the community,
demands that school-houses shall be built for their
comfort and accommodation.
