At late meeting of the Public School
Board of St. James Parish, a spirited contest
for the Presidency OF the Board took place
between Judge Hunsaker and Mr.. George
E. Bovee. The Division Superintendent,
Mr.. Stoddard, acted as temporary presi-
dent. The following extracts from the pro-
ceedngs are decidedly refreshing:
F. Hunsaker moved that the members
vote Cird UOce.
G. orge E. Bovee offered an amendment
that the members vote by ballot.
Mr.. Boyee's amendment to the original
motion was referred to the Board for de-
cision.
The President declared the vote to be a
tie.
Mr.. Joseph Wittgenstein then offered his
resignation to the President, W ich was ac-
cepted.
Hons. George E. Bovee and L. Bour-
geois presented their designations. which
were accepted.
After some lew remarks by 0. F. Hun
lsaker, the President declared his unwilling
hess to act further as President of the
Board.
The Board then adjourned sine die.
Here we have the singular spectacle OF
parties resigning from board because they
or their friends can not be elected President,
and in consequence of such designations an
adjournment sine die ! If the candidates
for President of the st. James School Board
will fix their domicile in New Orleans, and
be appointed on the City Board, its Presi-
dent (the editor of this paper) will cheerfully
resign his position IN their favor. Let dogs

regarded as q candidate for second
term. There can be no doubt but the
wear and tear of man is great
in the Presidential Office. Mr..
Polk, who was comparatively a young
man, and looked young when he assumed
the duties of President, served four years,
and retired looking twenty years older
than when be was sworn in. He stood
erect, with not gray hair visible when he
entered upon bis Presidential duties, and
when be retired and passed through this
city was gray-headed, stooped-shouldered,
and feeble as if from extreme old age,
when in reality he was not over fifty years
old. He was an honest, hard-working
President, and served at time when
war was upon the country, and
great political questions had to be de-
termined. His election involved the issue
of the annexation of Texas, he, as tee
Democratic candidate, favoring that pro-
ject, while his opponents, Clay and Van
DuIeu-tHe uISt tu0 CdHuIudtc VI Tue
Wing party, and the latter the candidate
of the Free-soil party-stood opposed to
the measure. The people favored annexa-
ton, and elected Mr.. Polk. Texas was
annexed Immediately after he entered upon
his duties, and then ensued the war with
Mexico that resulted SO gloriously to
American arms, and secured 10 our
country its possessions on the Pacific.
During his administration the country
was also threatened with war with Great
Britain. This was avoided by his famous
'ifty-tour, forty-or fight" declaration,
which brought about settlement of the
boundary question between this country
and Great Britain. All the questions in
volved in the election of Mr.. Polk were
settled before he vacated the Presidential
chair, and he retired amid blaze of glory,
after securing the Democratic party an
easy victory in the election of his success
sor. The prestige of lis administration
was long felt by the Democrats, who con-
tinued their hold upon the affections of
the people up to the time CT Mr.. Lincoln's
election, when new issues had arisen. If
General Grant is as successful as Mr..
Polk was as President, his civil fame will
be equal to his military record, and he will
retire leaving his party at least as strong
in the affections of the people as when he
was chosen. The acquisition of Cuba
would give great eclat to his administra-

The acts of Congress relative to the taking

census ennmerators to ascertain what per-
sons are intelligent enough to subscribe to
the New Orleans REPUBLICAN, nor does it
require them to ascertain who are sensible
enough 20 take tickets in the Louisiana
State Lottery. They are, therefore, not au-
thorized to ask questions on this subject,
