W. have had q school election. We have
met the enemy and they are ours. In all
the history Of school elections in our city
that ofyesterday was the most notable. the
most eathusiss and The most interesting.
For ye,rs It has been the settled policy Of
our people-sl Of whom have the welfare Of
our common schools close ct heast-to keep
school matters entirely out Of politics. Soeh,
too, was the earnest desire Of the pseple
this spring. but It did not seen 10 satisfy
certain rule or ruin clique that modsstly ar-
rogates to itself oil the virtue. morality and
religion Of the comd| Dhity-hencs sharply
contested political contest WAS brought on.
We say the people did not desire to bring
politics into school matters ct this election,
hence, ss hitherto, the people met in friend.
ly caucus, at the Court House on Friday
evening last, to nominate . tickst-it being
the understanding, ~ heretofore, that the
candidates chosen there should form the
only ticket to DO presented to the people at
the election on the succeeding Monday
The tickets presented at the caucus repre-
sentei on the one hand the old Board, head
ed by J. T. Lane, Esq, and on the other q
list Of good names selected with = scrupu-
lous disregard to politics, with DR.. Psck-s
Republican-st it's head. This latter tieke,
WAS nominated by about 200 majority, and
the reasonable presumption was that none
other would be brought into the field. Not
SO. however, for in the next mornings issue
Of the Gazette was presented the ticket that
hcd been defeated the previous evening, and
BY that paper the candidates upon
| the regular ticket were denounced
as men devoid Of either moral
ity or virtue-men unworthy Of any pub
lie or private trust. Under the lash Of tn.
opposition clique DR.. Peck s-ccumbed, ant
positively declined to run on the Citizens
Ticket. Still unwilling to drag the matter
into politics, the committee appointed to at
tend to filling vacancies procured the con
sent Of Chss. Il Kent. Esq a well knowr
Republican, to take the place on the tickle
vacated by DR.. Peck. 1. becoming no;set
about that Mr.. Kent had consented to ru,
the party whip was again brought out. ant
not until the culprit was lashsd and threat
ened most severely did he decline. Thi
was too much. Tho Clique was determine,
thst no Republican shou d head the popula'
ticket. and - it had become extremely din
cult to End one in that party who coul'
withstand the party influences, the idea Q
Cancellation was abandoned and the name .
James s. Drake, Esq, was placed at th
head Of the ticket. Mr. Lane, unwilling 4
disregard the voice Of the people, wisely de-
olined to run on the Clique Ticket, and th
name Of John E. Henry, Esq, fillsd up th
vacancy, and thus the two tickets went int
