School. ELEcrIoN.-The voters Of the
Independent School District of Indepen.
dence, will elect next Monday, six Direct
ors under the new law recently passed by
the Legislature, which also provides that
the Board so elected shall elect its Secreta
nv and Treasurer from outside its own or
ganiz ,,ion, and that two Of Its members
shall retire NJ the end of one year, Two after
Two Years and two at the expiration ot three
years. There is already much interest and
some manifestations of warm feeling over
the election Of these Directors. There
seems to be IA general consent to the keep
ing Ct party politics out or the matter, which
We cannot too heartily commend. When
other considerations than high character,
education and business ability are suffered
10 enter into our selections of school officers.
The schools will asSuredy suffer. But the
public seem to be chrystalizing into two
parties; those who wish to retain a part
at least of the present board, and those who
propose to elect new men throughout. The
latter party hold caucus for the nominal
ton of candidates tonight, and the former
Tomorrow Saturday night. Until within
The last week We had supposed that the old
board of Direc tors were giving universal
satisfaction, and even now, the objections
urged against them are 50 vague and un-
satisfactory, as to make it difficult for US to
believe that the capable and energetic gen
remen who compose the majority of the
Board, should be kicked out of office on
the ground of their unfaithfu'ness. But as
these gentlemen have no exclusive claim on
the Office of Director, no proper criticism
can be made upon the action Of the party
who oppose them, provided that they prove
themselves to be actuated by regard for
the public interest in so doing. We will be
contened if they make as good nomina-
tons as members of the present Board
whom we could name, in which case we
think the true interest and usefulness of the
schools would be subserved, whatever the
result of the election.

CITY ELECTION.

The election for City officers last Mon
day was productive of some excitement and
a result by no means provided for in the cal.
culn,lons of the Repu blicans, although to
boilers and soreheads within our ranks it is
attributable. The Democracy nominated
their very best man for Mayor and one whom
we are free to admit will make an excellent
officer. The balance of their ticket were
not ohje ctonable as citizens. They stuck
to their nominations. The Republicans
nominated good men also, but for causes
which at this time it is not necessary to
enlarge upon. they began from the moment
the nominations were made las fairly as any
nominations were ever made) to split and
,argain and sell. The result is Demo.
cratic Mayor, Marshal, Solicitor and one
Councilman, against a clear Republican
majority OF $50. We do not deprecate the
result so FIR as it has reference personally
10 the officers elected, but it does not "set
well" to know that we have men in our
ranks who out ofpure sore headedness; just
because the party failed to endorse their
claims to certain .ffices, will work fer the
defeat of its faitly Nominated candidates.
Their "caims" for future flvors are on file.
The election indicates no change in the rel
alive strength Of parties in this city. Our
neighbor of the Conservative, very candidy
and truly says oft:
1t may perhaps he claimed Democratic
victory, if so, it was certainly through The
sulfrrance of Republicans. and not BY par
~ ,lr ngth. As with the Republicans, so
with The D''mp,rats-'hrr. were split tick
cts, but to no great extent.
There was less.spliting of tickets on the
Treasurer and Assessor than on other en-.
d,dates, and hence the vote on these officers
more nearly indicates the streng h OF the
parties The election of Mr.. Handy in the
4th ward is Republican gain Of one in the
| Council. The election passed off quietly.
| We hear of but one candidate who subsid-
| ized the saloons. and he WAS not Republi-
can. The following are the figures:

In view of these figures and facts, is it
to be wondered at that the farmers have
been 50 slow in paying their bills the past
season. have no doubt that many farm
ers in this community have spent sleepless
hours in broodng over their (what shall we
call iO bad luck or Encouragement. III
wheat had been $l.00 per bushel the pres
ent season, and every other farm produce
the same that it has been, we would not hear
the sound of hard times on every hand as
we do now. Neither would there been one
man sued in this county where there has
been ten. However, we ought TO be thank
full that our produce is bringing what i, is,
and hope '69 has taught us farmers hi,
