DISTRICT NOMINATIONS.
DIyI,iou Of The school Fund.

We print to-day communication rom
the Chairman Of the Catholic Committee
which interviewed the Committee OF the
Board OF Education, stating somewhat
definitely the arrangement proposed BY
that denomination for diverting portion
of tho school fund to educating children
under the auspices Of that Church. lis
IN brief proposal that separate schools
be organized for the children Of Catholic
parents that these schools be taught'py
Catholic teachers, in buildings Of that de-
nomination, and that tue teachers be paid
from the school fund; the schools other.
wise to be under the control Of the Board
OF Education.
We do not see that this plan, though
ingenious, is much less Objectionable than
ifit were proposed to set aside u portion
OF the fund and pay it directly to the
Church authorities to be expended In
their own way. There remains the in.
superabe objection to creating separate
schools on seCtarian grounds. 1t is still
proposed to have separate schools under
the exclusive instruction Of one religious
creed. The establishment Of such schools
must be fatal to all systems Of public
instruction. There can be no avOrit.
ism in a matter Of this kind; and
whatever special favor or advan.
tage Is granted to any sect in this way
must bo granted to all others on de.
mand, and that IL would be demanded by
all Is moi u be doubted. And when all
the sects had their separate schools, paid
out Of the funds raised by public taxation,
what would have become Of the public
school system US 1t now exists here and
elsewhere throughout the United StatesY
The public schools are free alike to all
who choose to avail themselves Of their
advantages There Is no exclusion, nor
the slightest discrimination of any kind
on account Of religious iailh, nor anything
In their conduct offensive to any. Per.
sons OF the Catholic faith are as eligible to
DO superlntendents, principals, teachers,
and commissioners, us Methodists, Bap.
lists or Presbyterians. All stand on II
complete equality both as To control and
as to instruction. We cannot see that il
ought to be Otherwise.
Under the existing Constitution no
separate schools such as those prayed for
can DO established. The new Consttu.
ton Of course might be so wOrded as to
permit 1t; and we suppose il Is in view Of
the pending choice Of men to frame Il
new Constitution that our Catholic friends
have ut this particular juncture brought
forward their plea for this change. 1t
has been put forward as an issue into
this election, through no fundamentally
Of ours, and II becomes question Of mo.
ment to know how the candidates for the
Convention who arc asking the suiTrages
Of this community stand affected towards
II. II Is asserted that some Of them are
committed In favor Of the change, and as
yet there has been no public denial Of this
Insertion,

AS On effort is being made to create an
Impression upon the citizens Of Wheeling
10 the effect that the Catholics are asking
for division Of the school fund, and As
the undersigned have been the acting
party on the part Of the Catholics, we
take this method ordisclaiming any such
design. That the public may properly
understand our position, we submit the
paper which we have laid before the
board Of Education.
We arc not opposed to q public school
system. On the contrary, our purpose Is
clearly indicated by the paper submitted
to the Board. To meet an objection that
might DO made Oh the score Of expenses
necessary to construct new school houses,
we proposed verbally to the Board to
provide our own school houses.

elusive Of those In attendance at the
Academy Of the Sisters ofSt Joseph, and
the College U-H
To instruct this number Of children
about twenty teachers are required, and
at least two additional school rooms, be.

Wepropose that The Board of Educa-

the necessary teachers, assume control of
the schools, using the same text books
that are now in use In the public schools,

THE SOUTHERN MAGlZrNE.-At last, afeer
many futile attempt since the war, we have be-
fore us purely literary Southern magazine
which promises to live and to represent the great
thoughtful heart OF our people. We refer to the
Southern Magazine, the successor OF the Eclectic
Magazine Of Baltimore, so long and favoraoly
known throughout the South. OF the Old series
there are eight volumes. The new entered upon
Its career on the first Of January, and three
months OF successful labor attest the earlestness
and ability with which the publishers have en-.
tered upon their work. The change In the title
implies no change In the principles and aims OF
the magazine, white the list OF contributors EN-.
braces most OF the distinguished writer's OF the
South. Among these are Alexander FL. Stephens
General Beauregard, Hens. Teak!e Wallis John
Ester CookejS Paul B.. Hasns, "Barton Grey"
Prof. r. L. Dabney, Prof. c. Woodward Hutson,
Judge W. Archer Cooke, Professor George Frede.
rick Holmes, Margaret J. Preston, D.. George
Baeby and others. The latter has once More re-
sumed his old familiar title of "Mozis Addums," {"
and is writing series OF articles In his lnimlta.
BILE way, entitled "a History on the Waw,"
which itselris worth the price Of subscription It.
Is needless to urge our people to support Southern
literature. They know their duty, but, Ia the
language of a writer, "the truth Is not to be ig-
nored the people OF the Southern States have
never sufficiently patronized nor appreciated
Southern authors.m Never before, certainly. since
thawar. hss SO much ofsSenuine Southern Intel
lect been boiled down on the pages Of o maga-
zine, and we are glad to encourage the enter.
prise Mr. W. l.. Hill, OF Baltimore, one Of the
proprte.ors orrhe magazine; IS now IN Charles

that city has many time In our: dreary past
