Report of the Superintendent Of Public
Education.

We have received that document, anc
we see again in it the recommendation
of the recreation of the Office of parish
School Superintendent. At the time
that the Office was abolished, no one re-
GREETED more than we did, that impru'
dent measure. It was done, said its adj
~vocates, for economy. What economy
has resulted by it is too we'll known to
the public.
The direction of parish schools has
been left to the care of the Parish Treas
nrer, a person appointed for a totally
different purpose, and who receives two
hundred dollars of the three hundred
paid to the Parish Superintendent; and
for doing what? For disbursing the
money only, as all the labor which was
incumbent upon the Superintendent has
been imposed upon the State Superin-
tendent, to the detriment Of the schools
and the Inconvenience of the public.
Let the present Legislature restore
that office, and let the people Of every par
ish choose their own Superintendent; and
let the school law he SO amended as to
give a greater control over the schools
by that officer. The people know too
well the necessity of primary schools
for the education of the masses, not to
choose a competent person, and to give
him their entire support to carry out a
general system of public education.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT Both buses OF the zen

the time fixed by the Constitution.
A caucus of ee-n branch was held at 10
o'clock, and a lie Of proceedings marked out.
The Senate organized by electing Ben. W.
Pearee. oeBienville, President the old officers
were reelected. The House members were not
sufficient to form a quorum while the Demo-
Gratis were in caucus, and SO did not organize
until Tuesday, when q. II. Morrison, Of Ouachi-
ia, was unanimously elected Speaker, James
Welsh Chief Clerk, Geo. B. Shepherd Minute
Clerk, ]. P. Smith Warrant Clerk, ]. P. Peralts
Sergeant-at-Arms, D. searles Doorkeeper.-
There were no nominations made by the Oppo-

At 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, the Governors
Message was read. 1t is a brief document, and
treats Of each subject without affectation or at
tempt at grandiloquence. Federal resolutions
were introduced to-day, both in the House and
senate-in the latter by Lawrence, Of Plaque

Gen. Phillips, of DeSoto, introduced fesolu-
tons requiring the Board of Public Works to
make an estimate Of the cost of a dam across the
mouth Of the Atchafalaya.
The subject of closing those two Important
outlets (Atchafalaya and Plaquemine) will oe-
cupy much of the time, talent and attention of
the members of the Legislature.
It looked natural to meet the smiling counte-
nances of Generals SHINES and Griffin at the
Capitol-E. Lasere, of New Orleans, and other
old Sachems. As there did not appear to be
much necessity for labors, their visit was short.
Doctor Cottnaa is yet on hand with more or
less than 25, 200 copies of the reply of Judge
Douglas to Judge Black. The DR.. is pregnant
with some great matter, which time alone can
develope having been intimate with the Gar
Of Russia, it may be of mighty import.
Judge Cole of the Supreme Court has resigned,
and the 10th of February is fixed for the cleo
tion Of his successor.
Yesterday, at l O'Clock, Mr.. Roy, editor of the
Vicksburg Sna, was killed by a man named

Guilty. You will r~ecollect Shepperd was arrest

Roy.
Governor Moore has arrived, and grand pre-
parations are making for fun and pleasure. /

may continue, and by cones be by-goncs.
