How IT WAS DoNE.-Some Repub-
licans express surprise at the defeat of Mr..
kEssLER, and wonder how it was done.
The matter Is easily explained: Mr..
HOLMES was agreed upon, weeks beforehand,
by the Democrats as their candidate and he
spent his time in visiting from house to
house, soliciting the votes of Republicans,
pleading poverty and Ill health as an incent-
i've to sympathy. In this way he obtained
promises from those who supposed it impos-
sible To overcome Mr. kEssLER's last wears
majority. All manner of ridiculous stories
were circulated TO injure kEssLER's popular
ity; ana he was thus defeated We have
have already heard enough express their re-
grets at kEssLER's defeat to have elected
him if they had voted for him We hope
this may prove Salutary lesson TO those
who make pledges beforehand because they
think their vote will make no difference as
to the result.

The Iitx Election

The election for city officers yesterday
passed off very quietly, though both parties
worked earnestly for the success of their
respective tickets. The vote polled, the
largest ever cast al a city or state election,
while it is known that about one hundred
voters failed to vote, indicates the rapid
growth Of the population of the city. The
Democrats were successful, a. usual, but by
a reduced majority Scratching was more
freely INDUCED N than We have ever known
1T a previous election. Had all who voted
cast their ballots for their straight party
ticket, the Democratic majority would have
been from 80 to 10. and though these figures
show Republican gain of about 80 since
last fail, yet had there been a full vote yes
terday the present majority would have bec1s
materially reduced. The following is the

MIXED SCHOOLS ASD COMPUL
sorry EDUCATION.

We publish the following communication
in pursuance of our custom to give place t,
discussion of all questions of public in
terest.
EDT0R REPUBLICAN:
SR-The time is drawing nigh for tht
assembling of the Legislature. At which
time presume the bill for the establishiDs
OF free school system for the State Of
Louisiana will be brought up again fol-
final passage. Although a Republican, ]
have serious doubts in my mind about GER
tain provisions contained in that bill,
namely, the clause creating mixed schools
as well as that of making il compulsory on
the part of parents to give their children a
certain amount of education.
In the first case am certain that I rep-
resent the views Of a majority of the Re-
publicans of the State when / say that /
doubt the propriety of establishing such a
system as that of mixed schools. / believe
that the colored people would be the
greater losers in that case, Their
progress in education would not be as rapid.
neither as pleasant, as in the case of sepa.
rate schools.
While in regard to the compulsory clause
believe it in the abstract to be eminentlv
wise that the State should have, and has. a
certain claim on the rising generation, that it
should see that the youth Of the State should
be properly educated, in order that abe
should have an intelligent and law abiding
constituency. This Pr0ssidR system has been
adopted in many Of the Northern States.
Al the same time doubt the propriety Of
adopting this clause in our system at this
time. (luF Hidnoo in
strongly republican that the adoption of
anything IN our system that looks toward
compulsion seems 80 entirely repugnant to
the masses OF our people, that the benefits we
might derive from such course would be
more than lost to the State by the adoption
of such clause.
That we need thorough and complete
school system in this State, as well as
through the whole South, there can be no
doubt. Not having the data before me to
give you the relative proportion of
the population of the State of Louisi-
ana wno could read or write in
1860; but, as an illustration of INV
proposition as to the necessity of proper
and thorough free school system, wonld
state that in our sister State of Mississippi
there was but one-third Of the entire popil-
ANttoA ~ Apvv Hho Coulu Iodo or write.
Now, in view of all these facts, as we'll
as the urgent necessity for a weIl-digested
law upon the subject, and one that would
not be Objectionable to the majority of the
taxpayers Of the Ssate-the writer Of this
being one-I would be glad, not only 10
get an expression Of your views on this
subject, as well as that OF Mr.. Conway, the
superintendent Of Public Instruction,
through the columns of your paper.
