School Election.
We publish the note following with great
pleasure. We heard Mr.. Calkins of the
Peoples Ticket declare publicly and quite
emphatically that he did not approve party
tickets for School officers and that he would
not serve as Director if elected. We learn
since, that Mr. Grant was equally decisive
and public against being candidate for
President of the Board of School Commit
teemen; but not until the writing of the
TINES notice Of last week did we know of
Mr.. Grants decliation
Eds. Times II trow you do me injus-
tice when you publicly announce that
Homer Kennedy beat me by 13l majority,
as President, at the School elect ion on Mon
day the l4th, when in fact was not in the
field at all. l not only repudiated the no.
mnation upon Monday the 7,h inst, when
the Peoples Ticket first appeared, but con-
tnued to do so during the week pending
the election and on the day thereof, both
rpuol'cly and privately as have frequently
done before for the same position, when in
full greater danger Of being elected.
That the people may have cast some
votes for me in disobedience Of general or.
ders, regard no fault Of mine and in my
judgment this should no. subject me to the
soubrequstte Of beaten candidate, more
especially as l cordially supported Mr..
Kennedy as ever have done when before
the people for any position in which had
a voice.
can hardly think that you would un-
advisedly present me in the light Of a van
! quishcd foe and at the same time employ
special pleadings in behalf Of gentlemen
similarly situated.
Yours &c. ROBERT GRANT.

Two campaigns are in progress, one for
the Presidency and the other for the resto
ration Of the Union-and there is reason
to a?prehend that the political conflict will
interfere dsastrously with the conduct of
the war for the salvation of the Republic
1t our armies are to be so handled as to
secure the organization of nominal states
with view to swell the presidential vote
for Mr.. Lincoln, instead of being concen
trated and launched with resstless force
at the vtals of the rebellion, we may as
well give up all hope Of seeing the stru uggle
eAded during the present year. That the
enormous civil influence of the Govern.
ment has been brought to bear upon the
presidential question is evident. The
friends Of MIR. Lincoln arc everywhere tax
it.g time by the forelock, and endeavoriug
to convince the country that his renomina
ton is tOregone conclusion. The plan Of
the presidential campaign has been well
considered, and able party strategists, at
the head Of an enormous body Of office
holders and outside mercenaries, directly
or indirectly interested in the perpetuation
OF the present order Of things, are manoeu
vering with far more skill and infinitely
more vigor than are displayed in the man.
agement and prosecution Of the war. IT,
in addition to these peace movements for
the re election Of the present tenant of the
White House, the military power of the ma
ton is to be welded in his interest as a
candidate, in the manner referred to, his
battle may be won by next November, but
the Republics aoiN not. The adrotness
with which State Legislatures, State Con-
ventions, Loyal Leagues, and every species
Of organization that can be tickled, or per-
suaded, or tempted. or dragooned into the
service, are wheeled into the Lincoln line,
is somewhat ominous. 1t evidences de.
termination on the part Of Mr. Lincoln's
adherents not to stick at tr;hes, and seems
to give color of plausibility to the asser
ton of his opponents that, until after the
fall elections, the increase Of the electoral
vote, through the erection of new State
Government or two, will be an object of at
least as much solieitude at headquarters as
the winning OF decisive victories.
Let us hope that such suspicious do the
President injustice, in spite Of the Florida
expiditicn and some other movements that
may appear to confirm them. We canno,
help thinking, however, that in the presen,
grave crisis of public affairs, it would be
more decorOus in his admirers to show less
devotion to the interests Of the man and
more to the interests OF the country.-N

Progress Of Freedom.
In the Iowa Daily Statesman of late
date, We notice paragraph which has a
look Of significance. Hunt, of Clayton, in
the Senate, and Russell. Of Washington, in
the House, are pair of square Republicans
men who can see clap-trap, and who have
the will and the ability to expose it. Both
Of them have exhibited an independence e
not paatable to would be leading men ol
their own party, and both Of them are un-
der ban for recusancy. Hunt is not an ex-
elusive National Bank for-taxes man, and
this may not suit "Government:" he also is
in the habit Of ventilating his disgust of po-
Iitical charlatanry, and this cannot but be
offensive to the large amount Of obedient,
mental drift-vood which the public COM
motion of the past few years has thrown
upon the surface, and which now floats
down the current to any port which prom
ises individual safety and profit.
Russell, of Washington, we learn is a
young man, but the debates of this winter
show him to be ready, talented and fear
less. 1t was he who exhibited the beauties
Of the Wittenmeyer Sanitary administra-
of Iowa, aud proved up that the lady
whose patriotism would not permit her to
rest at home, was getting an exhorbitant
compensation for the exercise Of charity
toward our suffering soldiers! For this
among his other sins Of obstnacy and ur-
rightncss, Russell is tabooed by the meek
and lowly ones whose ideas Of right are
promulgated from Executive Cabinets and
whose notions of independence are meas.
ured by considerations of special favor,
either in the currency Of the country, or
in promises of promotion.
Pity there were not more men who could
individualize themselves, and rouse public
sentiment from the fatal, plastic lethargy
which is leading US to serfdcm.
SENATOR HUNr.-We admire the indie.
pendence Of Senator Hunt, as much as we
esteem the tact and pungency of Russell.
But, the Senator must look out or he will
render himself as much an object Of Alb
clifton ridicule, as has the gentlemen from
Washington. 1t is idle for these gentle
men to expect to preserve their indepen-
dence and remain in the Abolition ranks.
Independence and fanaticism are antipodes
and they must abandon the one OF surren-
der the other.
A word to the wise is sufficient

10 the People Of Kentucky:
FELLOW ClTizENS--In view of the dis.
turbance Of the popular mind as produced
by the enrolment Of slaves for the army
in Kentucky, it is deemed prudent to make
the following suggestions for the benefit
and guidance of the loyal people Of Ken
tucky. Your indignation should not move
you to commit acts Of violence nor to un-
lawful resistance, standing as we have
stood and will ever stand for the Constitu.
ton, the Union and the enforcement of the
laws.
We must repel the efforts of the rebels
to overthrow our government, by our gal
liant soldiers in the field, and meet and
correct unj just or unconstitutional legisla.
ton by Legitimate appeals to the constitu-
tional tribunal Of the government, and
through the ballot box displace through the
constituted modes those who pervert or
abuse the trusts committed to them.
This is the only true mode Of maintain
ing the constitution, the Union and the
enforcement Of the laws. The mere act
Of enrolling names Of slaves does not af-
feet any right of the citizen. No draft has;
been ordered, nor do we know that draft
will be ordered. 1t may and it may not.
We shall abide by and maintain the law
and pursue in the modes provided the re-
medy it affords if any violence or wrong
to the person cr property Of the citizen be
committed by any officer or soldier against
the known laws of the land, make your
accusation in the mode prescribed by law,
and if the commanding officer refuses, or
neglects to use his utmost endeavors to ar.
rest the officer or soldier under his com.
mand so accused, and hang him, or other
wise hand him over to the civil magistrate
for trial.
When officially advised of the facts the
executive of state will prefer charges and
demand a court martial in the Union under
the constitution, and in accordance with
law, assert and urge yoCright. 1t is our
duty to obey the.law until it is declared by
judicial decision to be unconstitutional. The
citizen whose property may be taken under
it for public use will be entitled under the
imperative mandate of the constitution to q
just compensation for his private property
so taken fox public use. Although the
present Congress may not do US Justice,
yet it is safe to rely upon the justice Of the
American people.

ncy, the paid mouth piece of Lincoln, in an
article concerning the Germans and their
indisposition to support Lincoln, says;
The liberal Germans, are anything but
Union men, and are entitled to not tho
slis htest consideration in the Union Con-
ve"tiSn. They are, in fact, very liberal
Germans, who announce at this early day
their determination to make the defeat of a
'avorite candidate pretext for seeking the
ruin Of great cause!'
The Administration is just now trying
to force the German element into perma.
nent support Of its measures. IF that ele.

BEAUTIFUL EYES.
BY DR.. 8. SILsBRR.


The art OF the Sculptor, may trace In the marble,
The delicate grace Of thy features and form,
The feeting expressions of joy and Of sorrow,
Or passion Il nes craven in lifes htful storm;
But vain is the art Of the Sculptor to image
In marble or clay all the magic that lies
In the mystical depths Of the souls glowing port Is
A dark pair Of bright, loving. beautiful eyes.
Oh when are nearer to joy y-dream Of Heaven,
Then gazing in love.lighted beautif ul eyes.
The Painter may rival the tints of the morning,
And dew.jewelled splendors Of fower-clad spring,
That dwell mid the rosedimpled glories that minge,
With all the charms which to lovelness cling,
But ah though the art OF the Paiater enchant US,
With beauties entrancing and fanciful dyes,
The harms that no Sculptor Painter may picture,
Are found in the starlight Of beautiful eyes,
The swee. pensive twilight, so tender and dreamy,
Bewildering, soul-thrilling, beautiful eyes.
The Poet may sing Of the night ted tresscs,
softsialling like clouds over bows of snow,
In swee t-silvered syllables warble the praises
OF sighs, smiles and bushes that ripple and fow !,
Blu SCULPTOR and PAINTER and PoET may never,
No, never, can seize upon love as he flies;
Th en- who shall interpret the heart melting magic,
Which CLEANS in abysses OF beautiful eyesf
Alas, nought but Love seeking Love, can aecypher,
The Heavenly secret Of beautiful eyes.

Good.Night and Good-Morning.
"a cHILps soNG)
fair little girl sat under a tree,
Sewing rs long as her eyes could see
Then smoothed her work and folded it right,
And said, "Dear work Goodnight! good night ~
Such number Of rocks came over her head,
Crying 'caw cav !" on their way to bed;
She said, rs she watched their curious fight.
"Littls black things, goodnight goodnight !"
Tho horses neghed and the oxen lowed
The sleeps g. Bah bah 70 came over the road,
All seem ing to say, with quiet delight,
.'Good little girl, goodnight! good. night -
She did not say to the sun "good-night!''
Though she saw him there, like a bail of light
For she knew he had Gods own time to keep
All over the world and never could slices.
The tall pink foxglove bowed his head
The violets curtsed, and went to bed;
And good little Lucy tied up her hair,
And said, On her knees her favorite prayer.
And while on her pillow she softly lay,'
She knew nothing more till again it was day;
And all things said to the beautiful sun,
"Goodmorning good. d.mornins! our work is begun!''
