INVADING THE sANcrITY OF THE FAMILY.

Nothing is more abhorrent to true manhood
and to true womanhood than the despotic in
trusion of government into the family circle
There where all earthly felicity begins and
ends the sentiment of liberty, even under
tyrannies the most blighting to political free
dom, has usually contrived to find safe and
sacred retreat But it is plainly designed by
the school bill now before the legislature to
-;-l-I~ .ho -----aiss, &c sLis Iefuso ny the pro-
visions appended underneath:
SEC. 5. Every child in the State between the
eyes Of eight and fourteen years, without fixed
employment, shall attend school at least six
months in each year, and in case any parent or
guardian shall neglect TO send his or her child or
ward TO school, il shall be the duty of the com.
mssioners TO institute proceedings before a JUS
tice Of the peace, who shall send a written ad.
monition to such delinquents and if they continue
to so neglect, be shall inhct foe not exceeding
twenty-five dollars for the first ofense nor fly dbl
lars for each subsequent ofense and il after three
successive admonitions parents or guardians ne.
gect TO send their children or wards to school, or
to otherwise have them instructed in the ru Ii
meDis of common education, then the case shall
be referred to the State Board of Education, who
are empowered TO take such children or wards
and give them instruction at least five months in
each year. in such school or place Of correction
as shall be provided by the board for that pur.
pose.
The expense incurred for boarding and instruct
ing such children shall be borne by their parents
OF guardians but in case they are too poor to
bear such expense, 1t may be paid out of the
school fund at the discretion of the board.
SEC. 6. No child under the age of fourteen
| years shall be employed in any manufacturing
establishment, or on any farm or plantation, or in
any employment in this State, unless such child
has attended some public or private school at
least Fix of the twelve months next preceding
and is permitted to attend six months in every
year 10 which such child shall be employed, and
any person who shall employ any child contrary
to the proyi ions of this act shall forfeit aud pay
for such offense penalty of ons hundred dollars,
TO be appropriated to the support of public
schools in the parish district at the discretion
of the commissioners.
Thus, it is the clear purpose of this bill
that both parent and child, the one by fine,
the other by incarceration and privation of
employment, and both by separation, shall be
punished, unless they pay practical and SER
vile homage to the supreme wisdom of ''Par-
son" Conway's promiscuous and amalgamiz-
ing school system. Fancy the "Parson,
strutting at the head of select constabu-
larry, and visiting delinquent households
in the execution of this benefcent de-
signl Some roads are hard to travel, even il
they do lead towards destrueton-and this is
one of them.

"LONG CONTINUED If Eor HOPELESS
CONFUSION, ETC.

Let Il beremem bered that while the radical
and carpet-bag co-operators with Governor
Warmoth in the Legislature persist In the
project of organizing and arming select
body of s'loyal militia, the governor him.
self in his letter to the President declares
such q measure to be of Every questionable
expediency" for the reason that it wculd re-
suit in "long-continued if not hopeless con-
fIisien, disaster and ruin to the State" This
happens to be the only plausible reason
which he urged in support of the request for
military aid FROM the United States. Laying
aside his string of transparent exaggerations
and incredible fctions, he in effect thus puts
the case TO the President sthe general govern
ment, which formerly held me and my cause
in the hollow of its hand where we could play
our tricks, simply fantastic or simply crimi-
nal, as they might be, with comfortable i'm
punity, must again afford us the benefit of
that safe and commodious basis of opera
tons, or see us forced TO the necessity of
adopting an expedient which will nlfict upon
the State long-continued, if not hopeless
confusion, disaster and ruin" So speeks the
head of what claims to be the reconstructed
civil government of the State a government
which was, upon its Inauguration, announced
by its creators and by its members to be COM
plete, self-suffcient, ymmetrical-t0hss, teres,
ato,se rot,udus-as one founded in the ~isii1s
and representing the interests OF the body
of the people of the State. Says in substance
the executive exponent ofsthis government
sin respect to completeness We are fatally
defective; in respect to Identification with
the body of the people we are fatally defective;
in respect to self-suficing and intrinsic ele-
ments of State police for maintaining the
peace of the State we are fatally defective If
the general government will not prop us up
with bayonets and surround US with batteries,
we must either 60 down or bring upon the
State long continued, if not hopeless con-
fusion, disaster and ruin by continuing to ex-
ist" This is no strained construction of the
purport of the official language of the guber-
material mouthpiece of this government. No
intelligent and candid reader would pretend
10 construe it otherwise. What, then, must
we conclude? Why simply this that the
men who have this government in their
keeping are, judged according to the une-
quivocal avowals of their chief required by
honor, consistency, justice and humanity, to
take measures for peacefully abolishing it at
the earliest day possible, and for superseding
it with another which could exist without
resorting to means that portend "long-
continued if not hopeless confusion, disaster
and ruin to the State" but which, on the
contrary, founded in conditions of peace and
security, would have nothing to distract it
from the benefcent Office of studying the
wants and interests of the whole people aud
promoting the general prosperity.

RADICAL SEED BRINGING FORTH FRUIT.-Yes-
terday morning, on the arrival Of the Georgia
train, Lieutenant Murphy was at the depot, and
his suspicious were aroused by what appeared to
be white man and negro together, very socisb'e.
He watched them awhile, aud his keen eye soon
satisfied him that il was a woman disguised as
man, and he arrested both. Soon after the arrest
a telegram was received from the girls father,
stating that she and the negro had left Union
Point the night before, and asking that they be
stopped.
The girl, whose degradation is so deep that we
refrain from giving her name, says that she had
been intimate with the negro for some months
and that she was in a condition that would soon
disclose the fact to her parents, and run away to
prevent the discovery. They were to 90 to Nash.
vile. Tennessee, and marry, so the negro says.
This she denies but says she loves him better than
any man she knows.
The negro is black, ugly, kinky-headed man,
about thirty, and fair sample of his race. The
girl is about eighteen, with homely features and
a depraved look.
Since the above was in type, the father of the
girl arrived in the city. and will return with her
to-day to bis home in 0glethorpe county. The

Died on Thursday, the 23d of July, at the resi-.
dence Of Dr. r. W. Walker, in Jefferson. Texas,
Robert Walker GoOding, aged l6 years. only son
and child of Mrs. Letta A. Goodng.
The Jefferson paper in which we find the above
announcement says:
The subject of this obituary was a noble manly
little boy, the only hope and stay of a fond and
widowed mother.
Robert was employed in the Crescent Office up
to the time his fatal illness commenced, and, in
deed, for sometime afterwsrd; for, as his mother
was in a large measure dependent upon his eXer-
tons for support, he was very reluctant to sue
cumb to disease and battled against it with true
heroism. He was a remarkably faithful. aasc ton
ate and intelligent boy, and while we mourn his
early death, we deeply condoe with his
bereaved mother in her aflictiou.
A private letter from a friend Of the family,
written only three or four days before the death
of Robert, indicates the severe nature of his dis
ease, and the terrible sufferings which death came
to relieve. We quote from the letter:
Several days after arriving at our home. hav.
ing suffered very much all the time, a surgical
operation was agreed upon and performed by
Messrs. Eagan and Ray6eld. surgeons of eminence
among us. The operation was performed on Sun
day, July 18th. Having administered as much
chloroform as he could sustain in his extreme
. weakness and debility, the thigh bone was laid
bare and chiseled to remove a hard grizzly sub.
stance which had been deposited thereon. The
chloroform was not sufficient to desdeu tie sense
Of pain. and the suerings Of the patient were in-
describable. The wound was stuffed full of rags
TO produce sloughing sore, aud for about five
days aiterwsrd he knew except that pro-
dnced by the deadening influences of opiates.
At the date of the letter (July 19) the patient
was supposed to be improving, but death relieved
him on the 2Sd. Robert had many friends in Ne v
Orleans. for whose information we give these pain
full particulars.
