"If an aristocracy of ex.slaveholders

SCHOOL LAws-Superintendent Camp
gives notice, in smother column, that the
law of last Winter changes the time for
annual school elections from the last
Thursday in June to the last Saturday in
July and that in accordance with the
law, such elections must be held, this
year, on Saturday, July 29tb, instead ol
June 9th, as heretofore announced. We

annual meetings and the issuing of Bonds,
which Professor Goodnow furnishes to
the Educational Journal.
The time for holding tie annual school
meetings in this State was changed by

storu. and Flood.

We are sure we never saw such Q rain
Is visited this section, on Friday and
Saturday. The wind blew perfect gale
from the south, oil day Friday, until
about four o'clock in the afternoon, when
q heavy rain set in. From that time,
the water came down literally in q
stream, with scarcely . minutes inter.
mission, until about sunset on Saturday,
accompanied by continuous thunder and
lightning. but very little wind. It is
computed, BY those who had the best
means of Judging. that fully two feet Of
rain fell, on level, from Friday to Sat.
urdsy evening.
The damage by water throughout the
country is considerable. Many of the
farmers had their corn washed ont by the
water sweeping through the burrows; and
wherever there was q gully, the water
rushed dowa in such torrents ss to carry
away fences. The Nsmshs ferry boat
was swept away, and bridges destroyed
or damaged in every direction. The
Roy's Greek bridge. on the Padonis
Road, was taken of. 1t was built in
1858. shortly after the highest water that
had been known in this country, and
was set FIVE feet above high water mark
but the food, on this occasion, reached
six feet over the BRIDGE ssI
On Friday evening, about the time tht
rain set in, tornado passed over tb,

souri, ct the old Buffalo town.site, snt

standing on the prairie, several mile,
below Highland, where the present road
to Troy separates from the Telegraph
road, was swept away clean, leaving moi
q vestige. Several Of the inmates wer.
severely injured, but, strange to say, nons
of them killed. Two or three Of them
were swept away by the wind, and th.
first thing they knew, found themselve,

Had it not been for this. they might have

extent of the damage throughout the
country, but it is doubtless immense.

"HANGMAN'' FooTE.-H. s. Foote
finds no peace in Canada. his sou6riquet
of "Hsngman' having reached the Pro-
vinces before him. He thus writes about
the matter:
The epithet of "Hangman" Foote. l
confess is not at all new. l received the
appellation fifteen years ago. because of a
very foolish and inconsiderats speech
which made in the United States, in
response to very courteous and eloquent
one delivered by Mr.. Hale. of New Hsmp-
shire, in dcnunciation Of the system Of
negro slavery in the South. ! confess
that was SO unparliamentary as to say
on that occasion that be deserved to be
hanged for using such language as he
then uttered. Indeed, l may. in reply.
have employed language of a directly
menacing character. Let me declare to
you, now though in all frankness, that l
was heartily aehamed of having used
such language Immediately after 1 bad
dons so, and that seized an early oppor.
tunity of making formal stonement for
my fault, in open Senate, and in hearing
Of the country, which formal atonement
was reported on more than one occasion.
Still must confess that I can scarcely
blame any one for applying to me an
epithet which, it is evident, I did so much
to justify; and if you and other con-
trollers of the public press still think that
the offense which committed on the oc-
casion referred to, is really of an inexpi-
able nature, I will have, with as good
grace as practicable, to submit to wear
this terrible shirt of Nessus for the re-
msinder Of my life.

The logic Of the Kentucky eonserva-
tives. as the Frankfort Commonwealth
pertinently observes, is that nothing pre-
vents the negro from becoming, in all re-
spects. their equals. but his bonds. and
therefore, to keep up their superiority. it
is necessary to hold the negro in subjec-
tion. They do not, evidently. have q
very exalted opinion of their ability to
keep ahead of the negro, or they would
not manifest so much solicitude about the
matter. lr F,.
