ONO LEGISLATURES.

ECO. H. iOOf'
HoUsE.-Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Smith,
House bill q55, to amend the act for the rc-
organization, supervision and maintenance of
Common Schools, passed March. l4th, l85S.-
Referred to Committee Of the Whole.
This bill contains several amendments 10 the
School Law, the object Of which, however. is
to perfect the law and render it more efficient
rather than 10 make any essential change in It,
The amendments appettain to sections three,
/ four, twelve, seventeen, nineteen, 'twenty-tWo,
twenty -four, ffy-onel sixty, sixty-One and
sixtv.two. These amendments are to the fol-
lowing effect: When q vacancy occurs in the
office of local director. the township clerk is
empowered to Gil The vacancy only, until the
election of the following April. when an officer
for the remainder il any, for the unexpired
term, is to be elected by tue people, The
time Of the second session Of the Township
Board for each year, and the time when the
said 3 oard is required to make It's statistical
report to the County Auditor, are changed in
conformity with the law Of las! winter. regula-
ting the printing of the public documents, The
sections relating to libraries, sre so. amended
as TO empower the Boards of Education, to de-
posit all the books 10 their charge, at one
place, or to distribute them to several points in
the district. as the convenience of the people
and the best interests Of the youth may re-
quire. This would doubtless result, in many
cases, in the substitution Of township for sub
district libraries. Township boards, in raising
money for building purposes, are limited to tive
mills on the dollar. II, in their judgment,
more is needed they are authorized TO call q
meeting of the qualified voters, and submit
he question. to them. Some discretionary
power is granted to township boards to dis
tribute the money which is raised to prolonl
schools in such manner as to assist those'suh
districts, which, on account Of geographical
difficulties or sparseness Of population. have
but small number of resident youth. Tht
length Of time for which scholars are requires

The PeRitentary Case The Consmisss's
Report.-T case Of DR.. Dawson and. the
State prisoner, Shannon, which has been inVes-
igated By committee Of the Legislature, has
created. and is likely to create good deal Of
discussion. Dr. Dswson was the Peniteutiary
physician, Shannon had cataract in eaeh eye
at the time be became an inmate Of the pris-
on His sight was such tha. be could dislin-
guish objects distinctly, and was able TO do
the labor he was required to perform 10 the
prison We DO not regard the offence for
which Shannon was imprisoned as criminal,
and had he not by the advice Of his lawyer,
plead gully and have stood bis trial, there is
not jury in Ohio that would have pronounced
him guilty Of mAnslaughter. The case as We
understand il, was in brief, this: Seine ruff.
fan had attacked defenceless woman. She
cried for help and Shannon few to her rescue,
struck her assailant blow which accidentally
killed him. That was his crime.
Shannon entered the peniIentiary in NOvsn.
Der 1855. He was sentenced for a term Of one
year, On the S9th of January, 1856, DR..
Dawson performed an operation on one eye,
by which the sight was lost. Op the l7th of
April, be performed an operation upon the
other eye in consequence OF which be lost the
sight Of that. By ths Two operations he be-
came stone blind. The testimony elected BY the
committee with their report. has been publish
ed. The document containing them fills 20
pages. All except three Of which, are filed
with testimony. The whole case, in our JUDI
gment, lies in a nut shell, aud is SIMPLY this,
was the second operation performed with the
consent ofShsunOn, orin violation Of bis ex-
press wishes?" 1t would be unjust to ssbiect
DR.. Dawson. or any other physician 10 erimi-
alor civil prosecution for merely having fall
ed in giving sight TO the eyes of shsnnoa.
The question therefore is. did DR.. Dawson
use force; did he perform the operation by
which Shannon lost his eyesight, ,notwIthstand-
ing the strenuous opposition of the unfOrtu-
nate man? UpOs this point Shannon testifes
most positively and distinctly that he was fO.c-
ed to undergo The operation, having been seis-
ed and held By order of DR.. Dawson. The
testimony OF Shannon is cOnoborated by that
Of Andre ], Watts, one Of the officers Of the
prison; also BY James H. Perry. sa'
Dr. Dawson and medical student named
Morris, from Green county swear that no force
whatever was used, 10 cause Shannon to un-
dergo the operation. There is good deal Of
incidental testimony, mostly Of a professional
character in the report, which We shall moi
S meddle with. The committee have come Il
the uaanmous conclusion that great and ire
. parable wrong has been done to this poor man
; and they have very properly reported IN favor
, ofhaving the case tried in court of law. anC

Election next Monday.

As our people appear to be entirely obliyous to the
important fact that there will be an election on Mon
day next, we deem it our duty as faithful journal
ists to refresh their memories, in order that they
may prepare themselves for proper discharge Of
their duty in the premises.
A Comptroller is to be chosen For this office the
vote will be general throughout the corporation As
yet there is but one candidate formally before the
people, Mr. Thos. Theard, nor is it probable there will
be any other. Mr.. T. has discharged the important
duties pertaining to the Comptrollership the past
year with much fidelity efficiency and acceptability
He has proved himself faithful officer, and is an
honest man and respected citizen He should be
elected, as he will be, by a triumphant vote.
In the Fourth District Recorder is to be elected
an Alderman is to be chosen in each one OF the four
municipal Districts, and eight Assistant Aldermen are
to be voted for in their respective Wards for precise
information in regard to which reference is made to
the regular ticket published in another part of this
paper
We really hope the voters of the city will manifest
some concern in this matter-enough to go and vote,
if nothing more. Although there is little likelihood
there will be an opposition ticket in the field, still
meagre vote would convey anything but a favorable
impression regarding the interest the taxpayers take
in the management Of our municipal affairs.

American Meetings this Evening.


Pursuant to the recommendation of the Executive

Agers will meet in their respective Wards this even.
ing, at halfpast O'clock for the purpose of choos
ing delegates to the Convention which assemblies in
Baton Rouge on the sth of June next, to nominate
candidates for State officers and members of Congress.
The number of delegates to which each Ward is en-
titled will be found set forth elsewhere in the official
publication of the committee. Including Algers, the
whole number of delegates is sixty.
From what we have been able to gather we Judge
the attendance at the various Ward meetings will be
large, and the enthusiasm correspondngly vigorous
However, let all q wait for the wagon" and see for
themselves.
The Convention at Baton Rouge bids fair to be
numerously attended. From time to time we have
published the many parish meetings that have taken
place. and our latest country exchanges full of
notices of meetings that to take place. We doubt
whether as many parishes will be represented as were
represented in the Democratic Convention, but still
sufficient represention will be on hand to make 4
highly respectable showing and inaugurate the steps
that Will lead, in all probability, to an energetic and
/ actively prosecuted canvass.
IL the politicians will only avoid acrimony person.
