Pray, do not let us be misunderstood
We would not for our life, attempt to
discredit. or to treat con temptuously: the
will of the people when inteliisently ex-
pressed, or when set in motion for ar. I'M
selfish and noble nrrpose. There is
something exalted above our grosser ma
ture- something God-iike n the specs
tace Of an oppressed people throwing of
their yoke and asserting their liberties /;
or, in free people coming up to their
hustinus in overp0wering masses, to wins
dictate the right q % put down the wrong
TO this however, and whene er mani~
Tested, we pay the most devout homage +;
but, against that gross, that selfish and
unsecmly spirit which sometimes charac-
terize the action Of maiorities, in voting
oppressive taxes foreign to the true oh
jecta of government, and in utter dis re-
gard of the rights and interests of minor
tiles, we shall never cease to inveigh. In
cur Judgement voting railroad subsidies,
belongs to this class, and there can be no
doubt, but that a the late local bounty
taxation so universal during the war, was
the very embodiment of offence in this
particular.
Neither do we wish to be understood
as being opposed to railroads. Thoy are
a source of wealth and convenience to
the country, and we would Ike to see
them multiplied but, their corporations
should be organized under general laws
as the constitution requires which laws
should, as far as possible, insure fair
location. an economical construction. and
an honest management of the roads =
Gigantic combinations should not be toll
Grated, and some control of their mln>
agement, to secure to the public raas>
enable and uniform tariff on transprta-
ton should be enforced by the state.
This subject has interested us so much
and grown so under our hands, thai we
find matter ahead, sufficient for another
article upon it, and begging the rea1ers
pardon for taking so many exceptions
and scolding so much in the expression
of our views, we will will ask him tC de-
fer inal judgement until we come again.

Coneeraigg Compulsory Education.

While most of our State exchanges that
have referred to the subject have approx
ed the principle of the bill now pending
before the legislature requiring all child
rem ia the state to be educated, Il few
have spoken of it as quite an unheard OF
measure-despotIc in character and OPP
pressive in Its practical operation.
The system Of compulsory education
is not a new and untried one 1t is
in full operation in Massachusetts. The
practical working Of it is attended with
most beneficial results Speaking OF that
Sytcm and its operation popular writer
recently said Indeed it Is an excellent
thing to be child in this land OF the
Yankees. If you are good boy or girl,
you have the common aud the high
schools for your instruction If you are
a bad boy they send you to the retor1na-
tory school to be made better, or to ship
school to be changed into a sailor; and If
YOU are a bad girl, there is a girls in
dustr;al school for you, where you will
be taught good morals and the sewing
machine. And they do not leave the
bad boys and girls to 90 on in their evil
ways until they are developed into Grim
mails The towns in Massachusetts are
now authoriz d to appoint truant officers,
whose duty it is to take care That every
child between the ages of six and sixteen
shall avail itself either of public or pri~
vate means of education. No miserly
parent, no hard master, no careless guar
dia n, can now defraud child of his

self all his life.
A Sta tie that confers the responsibility
of the elective franchise on all its ci5i-
zens CANNOT ook too carefully after the
education of its children. The child who
is to have that responsibility upon ar
irving at mature are is not only entitled
to the rudiments OF education; but the
State and the people who are so much
interested in the proper exercise OF mat
franchise are entitled TO demand that he
shall be educated.-Na1is,'n Journal
