community. But prOpriety is not to be
expected from such persons. The present
case, we are rightly informed, is an
example. Is II that disappointment at
haviIg been defeated int election for the
Office from which he now seeks to eject
his rival still rankles in his bosom Or
is it merely political animosity writhing
under defeat and disappointment that
makes the occasion! In respect to
another person who has boasted of being
prominent in this matter, We will simply
say that 'tyfiefy though it be m@'coj
and goes piping aud iddling about, will
not be deemed by this community exactly
the thing to control schools or ministers.
The special provision Of this proposed
Law that no teacher shall be removed
from her situation without IA vote Of
two thirds of the. Board thereupon" will,
when explained, let the public at once
into the secret Of thus attack upon the
three clergymen who now are members of
the board Of education in this city. 1t
would seem that the Board some time
since discovered that one of the teachers
was not merely sympathetic with the
rebellion but was open mouthed and
blatant in her reasonable talk before the
children Of the school. Parents, true
hearted to the country, hearing the re-
ports Of their children who felt outraged
at the reasonable talk they we're com.
PEELED to listen to, brought their COM
plants TO members Of the Board. The
result was that when this teacher applied
for higher post, the Board declined to
give it to her. No teacher has ever been
removed, though as We fear there are
some who have for the same cause de-
served dismissal.
The known patriotism Of the clergymen
Of the Board at once marked them in the
estimation Of certain traitorous men as
the cause of this endeayor TO keep treas.
sonable teashing out of our schools. They
knew well enough that this community
know and have confidence in it's ministers
and would be likely to keep them or men
like them in Office. Their only resource
was with the aid of their dlsloyal asso.
ciates in the other counties to pass law,
which should take the matter out of the
hands of those whose children are to be
affected by it. Hence this bill.
The people Of this county are just now
powerless to prevent its passage, but as
public journalist we feel bound to indi
cate the origin and the aaimss of the
transaction. We shall help the public
mark the men who thus strike at Their
interests and honor; by and by the time
will come to make them feel the power o.
an indignant community.
