Our School Fund.

We notice from our exchanges that an ef.
fort Is being made 10 our State legislature
by a few members, 10 repeal the School law
which grants free schools to all the children
in the State. This, we regard as a suicidal
measure and one too, II carried ont win
prove disastrous to the educational in
tereSts of all the people more especially to
the poorer classes. There are, doubtless, de-
fects in the present law but until these de-
fects can be remedied By amendments, the law
should remain As IL is. This school system
has been but recently ~iaaugurated, and as
far as it has been tried it works admirably,
and many people, who at FIRST opposed it, are
now its warm friends.
We learn from the County Superintendent,
that over forty schools have been, and are bs-
ing taught under the Law in this county, and
IS soon as competent teachers can be had,
other Districts will be blessed with schools,
If this law is repealed, and free schools sbol-
ished, the rebels aud other enemies Of our
State and National Governments will be high
" pleased but Onion, law-abiding and pro-
g~ressive people will be afflicted. We have
but little fears, however Of our Legislature
going backward.

Estimate OF Expenditures for the
Next Fiscal Year.

The estimates of expenditures Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury Tor the
next fscal year, ending June 80, 1870,
will be from forty to fifty millions less
than they were for the present fiscal
year, unless the Indian war should be-
come more formidable than is in
dicatsd at present. Last year the
estimates for the expenses of the
Navy Department were placed at
thirty-ive millions, but for the next
year it is understood that they will
not go much beyond twenty millions.
The Secreiary's estimates for the
receipts and expenditures for the com
ing fiscal year are based principally
on the general average of those for the
past nine months.
