Danger TO the Schools,

Let not the friends of our Public
Schools think, because the Old Charter
has been go amended that IL cannot be
laid aside for the New Charter without
the vote Of the people, that there is no
longer any danger to our Free Schools
from their enemies. There is danger,
and great danger. There 10 an influence
in the community, potent for evil, that
hates popular intelligence as Satan hates
holiness, and this influence is ever on
the alert, seeking an opportunity to
cripple and destroy our Free Schools.
Formerly its plan was to lay aside the
Old Charter and adopt the New Charter,
under which free public schools cannot
exist in any efficiency. This plan was
urged with great speciousness, ON the
plea that under the New Charter prop
erty outside the city limits could be an
nexed to the corporation, and thus made
10 bear it's share of the municipal bur-
dens, While under the Old Charter it
could not be so annexed.
The plan that is now to be acted on
by the anti-Schoolites, since their old
dodge fails them, is to bring every effort
in their power to bear, in quiet and
undetermined way, to elect a Council
friendly to their designs and adverse to
Free Schools. Under new law, there
are three School Trustees TO be elected
by the Council, instead Of one by the
people, 90 heretofore. So it will be seen
how easily, with Council opposed to
Schools, it would be to elect three Trust
ees pledged to cripple the Schools, to
destroy the confidence of the people in
their management, and indirectly to kill
them. .al a-zla
The Opposition are not keeping quiet,
and resting apparently in supineness,
without come covert and evil design. ID
is not their wont. Whatever may be
said of them, it cannot be said that they
are Indifferent to the interests of their
party, and careless on the eve of cleo
tons. Inspired with the hope that the
Union people are resting contentedly on
their laurels, they are preparing, Cop
perhead-like, to strike q deadly blow at
the Schools and the Union cause and its
friends. Depend upon this.
1t is, therefore, incumbent upon the
friends Of the Union, and the we'll
wishers of our excellent system of
Schools, to be up and doing. 1t is no
time now, while the treacherous party
that lately gave us SO much trouble yet
lives, TO allow N election of SO much
Importance as that of next Monday, to
go by default Neither viii it do for,
Uaion and Free School men (synony-
nous terms) to rest easy GA the suppo-
sition that the game is all in their own
hands. " Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" By hard work we gained
two glorious victories last Fall. Now,
let MS inaugnrate the political work of
1865 BY another crushing blow to the
Opposition ct the City and Township
elections next Monday.
Il is important that Union men only
should be elected to the various offices.
1t is doubly important--in fact, it is ss-
sential to the well-being of the City and
the Schools--that q Union and Free
School Council should be chosen-and
the nearer unanimous it is, the better.

SEsT TO WHEELING. - The DEPUTY
Marshal of Wheeling, Va, arrived here
on Tuesday night and left Yesterday
morning, having in charge Bidwell, who
was arrested in this city few days ago,
at the reqaest Of the Mayor Of Wheeling.
1t appears Edwell was connected with
a gigantic swindle, she headquarters of
which were in Easeling, and which was
brought to light 10 Louisville on Satur-
day, the 18th inst, where some of the
parties were operating when they were
arrested. $40 Rtfs eaae
The facts as We derive them from the
Louisville papers are as follows:
Some three weeks since the Mayor of
Wheeling telegraphed to Mayor Kays, of
Louisville, 10 regard to a certain party
who was in that city, and who was about
engaging in the swindling operation.
The facts, as telegraphed, we're made
known to the police, who at once placed
q strict watch on the suspected party,
but made known to no one their object
The manner Of the swindling game ia
this: There is at Wheeling a firm by
the name of Bouvard & Co, who have
engaged with them in their swindling op-
GRAFTON different parties who 90 10 vari-
GUS cities and start business in different
names. The parties starting business
obtain, by forging letters from we'll
known houses, upon which they purchase
large amounts of goods, giving draft
for thirty days The goods are shipped
to A. b. & Co., or G. ID. Il Co, as the
firm may be, in this city. The parties
are present, receive the goods, re-pack
them and send them to Bonyard & Co,
Wheeling. When the draft falls due the
firm In the city cannot be found, nor
can the goods. 1t is said that in this
manner these parties have made some
two hundred thousand dollars within the
space of two months. The party who
was to have engaged in the business in
Louisville was too closely watched to
carry ont his plans, but be still remained
in the city. On the 18th an officer from
Wheeling arrived there with requisi-
ton for the agent of the bogus firm,
whose name is Fl, Fender. He was ar
rested at the LouisVille Hotel by officer
Bligh and turned over to the Wheeling
officer, who started with him to Wheel
ing Saturday night week ago.

A Bold RoBBEKY IN LoUIsvILLR.-
isville is certainly the city of "ye bless
ed" In fact it must be a delectable
place to live in and own good horses or
bank.5d n3 zssd1 XfHTag@34 % ts'3aA
Guerrillas enter the city in daylight
and help themselves to the best horses
and depart, leaving their cards and their
compliments. But a still more impudent
trict was played on banker, which is
thus related by the papers of Tuesday:
About four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the Office of A. Bland, banker, was en-
tered by three men, who proposed ne
gotiation for silver, in the progress of
which one of the men presented pistol,
drove Bland to his safe, and locked the
door upon him. The men then decamp-
ed with all the money outside the
safe, estimated accounts at $45. 900.
Bland was released, after. nearly two
hours confinement, by locksmith, who
cut the lock from the safe door. b.

TAKEN the oArH.-The noted guer-
rills, Hollis, and four of his men have
taken the amnesty oath, and are now ut
Derby, Perry county, Ind. Hollis and
his gang have done much mischief in
Western Kentucky.
1t. is not possible that the amnesty
oath was ever intended to wipe out the
crimes Of such malignant fiends as Hol-
lis, Steele and Marion, and we think it
is serious mistake to allow them its
benefits. The recent outrages on the
line of the Illinois Central railroad show
the result Of permitting Southern guer-
rillas to enjoy the freedom of the North
ern States.

GENERAL GRANT on THE SITUATION
The following extract from private let
ter from General Grant, gives his view
of the situation:
We are now having fine weather, and
l think will be able to wind mp mztters
about Richmond soon. / am anxious to
have Lee hold on where he is a short
time longer so that | can get him into a
position where he must lose a great por-
ton of his army The rebellion has lost
its vitality, and if l am not much mis-
taken, there will be no rebel army of
any great dimensions few weeks hence.
ANY great catastrophy to any one of our
armies would, Of course, revive the enc
my for 8 short time, but | expect no
such thing to happen. | am in excel.
lent health, but would enjoy little res.
plte from duty wonderfully. / hope il
will come soon. / shall expect to make

In position to know al the facts in
forms US that the Dispascks report Of
affairs at Henderson in yesterday morn
ing's issue is altogether erroneous, ex-
cept in the single particular that Mr..
Woodruff brought Steele in to take the
oath. - 81
It was-CaPt Spaulding's company
that went TO 1Caseyville and took the
oath, not Capt Steele's; and the negroes
did not waylay the road, Nor is it true
that Major Shook had any trouble in
getting man arrested BY the coIored

Our information is from such o high
