DEATH OLE s. E. WILSON. ESQ.

S. F. Wilson, Esq, for many years past
connected with the Picay,t,,e OF this city.
as one Of its editors and proprietors, de-
parted this life on Friday evening last,
after a protracted and painful illness.
Mr.. Wilson had long been engaged in the
field of journalism in this country, having
served as an editor Of a paper many years
ago, in Baltimore. About thirty-five
years ago he removed to Mobile, and be-
came associated with the late Thaddeus
Sandford 10 the editorial management of
the Mobile Register, then a staunch and
leading Democratic paper Of that State.
Mr.. Wilson afterwards removed
to this city, and was en-
ployed as writer on the New
Orleans Crescent, wheathat paper was pub
lished by Hays & Co., as news journal
not allied to any of the political parties then
agitating the country. Yet the editorials
Of Mr.. Wilson appearing in the Crescent
gave that paper decided opinions on all
the leading questions of the day, and their
fair and liberal tone commanded the re-
spect of all parties. He became connect
ed with the Picapsne, after A. c. Bullitt,
Esq.,, retired as writer from that paper,
and continued his connections Herewith
until his death.
As a public writer, Mr.. Wilson welded
in his time ready, forcible, and even
polished pen, never STOPPING to scurrility
IN controverting the arguments and state
ments of others, nor for one moment forget
ting the dignity and responsibility that
surround the public journalist who is faith
ful to his vocation. He was eminently
fitted, by education and long experience
as a writer, to impart knowledge to others,
but disease had long worked upon his
once vigorous body, and rendered him
unable to do-for some time past-what
sound mind was yet willing and, no
doubt, anxious to do. His long sickness
has been a serious loss to the editorial
columns of the Picayune, for they have
borne palpable evidence that he no longer
graced them with the logic Of his well
stored and we'll balanced mind; but now
death has interviewed and closed his NOR
tai career, leaving void to be filled in
journalism that the surviving manager Of
the Picayne may find it difficult to
supply.
Mr.. Wilson had attained the age of sixty
five years, and was not blessed with fam
lily at the time of his death, having buried
his wife many years ago, who died child
less.

HONORABLE EXCEPTIONS.

It is said that the exceptions which
accompany all general rules prove and
strengthen, rather than weaken the rules.
This proposition is brought forcibly to
mind in careful consideration OF the
component parts of the two tickets re-
Gently nominated for municipal Offices.
We find, here and there, on each, honor
able exceptions to the general character
of the nominees, but, unfortunately, not
enough to redeem the great amount Of
bad by which they would be surrounded
in case either party succeeded in getting
into Office.
There are, probably, on each ticket,
three or four gentlemen of worth, intelli-
gence and character. But, ina political
scramble for place they would not be able
to have much influence; rather they would
be over persuaded or oyerpowered by
their colleagues, and the importu-
nifty of those who nominated them
and worked for them. There
are several names in each party, some
of whom are old acquaintance and strong
personal friends, whom we regretted to see
in such connection. Not that we would
doubt their honesty, ability or desire to do
right, but because we know that their bet
ter influence would be exerted in vain.
And in order that We may not be misun-

TIE SCHOOL BILL.

The School bill finally passed both
Houses of the General Assembly. We
hear that Senator Campbell and the State
Superintendent of Education agreed to
the main features OF the bill as it passed
the Senate, and that it is now such meas
ure as will enable the State to have, at an
early day, good system OF Common
Schools.
The Governor and the State Superin-
tendent are believed to be of one mind on
the question of public education, SO that
we have no apprehension of any but the
best men of the State being appointed to
carry the law into effect. We were pleased
to see how large the vote Of the Senate was
on this popular measure. Some of the
best Democrats in that body voted with
the Republicans in its favor. The persist
ency with which it was opposed by certain
powerful combinations of a political, COM
mercial, and selfish character, only indi-
Gates its popularity in strength. It's
friends never faltered or grew discouraged,
but struggled along from day to day, till
at last victory was achieved,
In order that all the friends of popular
education in this State may be at rest in
regard to this school bill we will state that
it is our opinion that, in less than a year,
all good citizens will rejoice at its passage,
and especially at the results which are
sure to follow it's faithful execution.
Mr.. Conway, the superintendent, to
whom very much Of the credit of this law
is due, will now have chance to set
good school system in operation; and with
his energy, well informed mind, and uni
versally admitted zeal, We expect soon to
see the good results Of his labors under
the excellent law just given us by the
Legislature.

A. Simon, No. "a Exchange alley, has for
sale peculiar work, the title of which is
"a Philosophy of Heaven, Earth and the
Millennium 1t was written by James A..
Spurlock, a member of the Missouri bar,
who says in the preface:
Perhaps / owe the religious world an
apology for the plain manner in which
have assaled their creeds and ceremonies.
These have been the subjects of so much
strife, dissension and cavil, and initiate so
directly against Gospel truth that have
condemned them as heresies and idolatries.
In doing so, do not question the sincerity
of any church, minister or person, nor have
I written in the interest of any. / belong
to no church organization, and have no
partiality for any, and highly appreciate the
efforts Of all.
The book is worth reading.
