STATE EDUCATION.-licv. l.. Van
BokkelcD. State Superintendent Of I'd.
ucaiion, has published his FIRST report.
Ii contains the reports Of the Presidents
Of the Boards Of Commissioners Of each
county
The superintendent says that the
school tax Of Is cents per 500 IS not
sufficient TO support the schools more
than six months ia the year, uuaidcd by
the local tax. Ii the local tax D. not
renewed, the working power Of the
schools under the ucw system. ia many
counties, viii be 30 stronger than und1r
the old local law, which, IN addition b
the county tax, permitted tuition fees to
be collected from the pupils. The rev.
cnue from this source was large When
the local tax is withdrawn, the rate bill
having been repealed, the schools will
receive smaller revenue than under
the local law. The whole amount Of
money apportioned TO the counties is
sl00,753 Il, which, divided among the
! 300 schools now in operation, gives an
average OF $3.50 So for each school, or
less than $500 for the teachers salary,
after dcducting the necessary amount
for incidental expenses La this con.
nection he recommends 4 modlfic ,tion
Of the law, and an increase of the direct
State school tax 10 twenty cents on the
hundred dollars, and new assessment
of the property Of the State, by which
means ample funds will be given for the
support OF schools nine months in the
year. lie is enthusiastic on the negro

A MAN OF TAsTE-Mr Wilson, an
Abolition member of Congress from
Iowa. declared in his speech in that body
the other day, that "the good name OF
the nation requires that the laws to be
passed by this body be of such a char
acter that no person can tell from the
reading of them what color is stamped
upon the faces of the citizens of the
United States" Ii the Abolitionists
could 20 arrange the law, that the color
of the negro could be hid, we presume
they would then swear that everybody
was white. Mr.. Wilson still farther
eulogizes the darkey there Is not a
drop of reasonable blood flows under
black skin" 1t is certainly pity that
Wilson don't get black skin, so that
he could never be taken for traitor,
for while he continues to use white
skin he might get into trouble. He
should have his skin conform to the
color of his heart, and this he could do
very readily, by offering to swap with
some black buck

DctectIye Cenefai Baker,

The notorious Government detective,
General l.. G. Baker, has been dcgrad-
ed from his rank of Brigadicr. BY the
terms Of an official order he is "mus.
tered out Of service" A Washington
correspondent gives nc following as
the reason:
Baker had become so impudcnt, and
felt so entirely secure from the reach Of
all men, that he actually attempted to
play the detective upon the President
and his household, some weeks ago
There il scarcely doubt, however, that
this last specimen Of indcceOcy and
wonderful impudenee was encouraged
if not suggested, by some of the Pres
/ dents Radical friends The "Gresi
/ Detective" made an utter failure of his
espionage upon the executive mansion
1 for il was somehow discovered by MIR
! johnson, who sent messenger "a
bring Baker Immediately into his pres
cnco. The detective dropped every
other consideration, and repaired with
! all haste TO the White House, totally al
fault as to the purpose Of this summons
from the President His name being
announced, the President directed that
he be at once admitted notwithstanding
the presence Of several gentlemen then
\ engaged with Mr.. johnson The latter
most unccremonionsly charged Baker
with his .yillainons espionage, aud in
/ formed him that If he again heard q
his presence 10 or proving abou, the
White House or II he permitted any oil
his creatures TO sneak around the prem
iscs. the Great Detective" should him
self lodge in some one Of tho dingy
cells in the Old Capitol, where 20 many
had been incareorated upon the simple
order Of Baker himself, wilhout'war

The Great Detective was amazed
at what he heard and remained speech
lees while the Pfsis@nt scored him
Upon the RxcAls,k I,popmand, Go
