THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Schools for the people are not, as some
appear to think, the result merely of SYM
pathy with the poor; they are the product
of the broadcast and profoundest states
manship Of the age, which, in its aim to
develop the resources of nation, places
at the head of all other productive forces
the powers that belong to the brains and
the hearts of its people. Monarchical
Germany, equally with republican
America, recognizes in the education of
the people the source of nations power
and secret of its greatness.
The Importance and advantage of a
system of popular education, which shall
extend its advantages to every child in the
community, are so generally conceded as
to be outside of the pale of argument,
and people who, in this nineteenth CEN
fury, should deliberately resolve that their
public schools are an incumbrance, to be
swept away on the first plausible pre-
text, would merit, as they would receive,
the contempt of all Christendom
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court will furnish our citizens an oppor-
tunity which, we believe, they will gen.
orally embrace, for declaring their ap-
proval of popular education Whatever
differences may exist in regard to ques-
tons of administration, the necessity for
the continuance of our schools must be
conceded, and the prejudice which would
sweep away the whole system of instruc-
ton because of the unpalatableness Of a
portion of its details, is too irrational to
be anticipated IN a community so justly
proud Of its intelligence as our own.
The public schools of New Orleans
contain at present in the neighborhood of
twenty thousand pupils. The instruction
furnished in these schools is confessedly
superior to that impaired in the best
private schools of the city They are
attended by the children of all classes Of
the community, and are open, free of
charge, to any of educable age who
choose to avail themselves of their ad-
vantages. Day by day nearly twenty
thousand of the youth of our CITY are
there being fitted for the duties and ac-
tivities of life, developing those powers
Of mind and cultivating those faculties
which, few years hence, will aid in
adjoining and enriching the city of their
birth. Within our high schools are as fine
a body of youth, of either sex, as can be
found in any city of the South, while the
grammar and the primary schools are
furnishing instruction to thousands who,
but for them, would be deprived of the
means for mental culture.
We should hardly know how ftly to
characterize men, could such be found.
who, to escape the payment of moderate
tax, would ruthlessly close these schools
against the children of our city, and con-

return to France her sympathy, and
perhaps the active assistance of
France, would at once be displayed in
favor of royalty in Spain. On the con-
trary, should Theirs maintain the republic
at Paris, as there is every likelihood at
present that he will, then we may look for
the news that Amadeus has either with
drawn from Madrid or has been dethroned
within very short time. The Spaniards
are evidently bent on attempting the ex-
pertinent of republic, and until they
have tested their capacity to exist as re-
publicans, it will be an unsafe thing to
guarantee the perpetuation of monarchical
rule in Spain for a single day.

vert into solitude the buildings provided
for the education of our youth. Were it
possible, which we do not believe, to carry
the vote against tax for the support of
the schools, the result would be such as
to react with terrible force against those
by whose influence it should be secured.
Prejudices may be appealed to and
passions stimulated in order to secure the
ends of the opponents of the tax, but
prejudice and passion are, by their very
nature, transient: while an act like that
of closing up our schools would awaken
feelings the bitterness of which would
remain long after the temporary triumph
had passed. The idea that the public
schools of our State must all be composed
of whites and blacks in order that they
be continued, is one deserving no notice.
Every reasonable man or woman of Louisi-
ana knows full well that, while the State
Superintendent insists that the constitu-
tlonal provision concerning education,
and the acts of the Legislature on the
same subject can not be ignored, he does
not attempt to force the mixture of the
races against their own wishes, and that,
as result of his treatment of the ques-
ton, the pupils are allowed to make their
own selection of the schools they shall
attend. We do not think that any seri-
Gus opposition will be made by the
people to the support of our public
schools, merely because of the expression
of partisan bitterness by any parties
whatever.

SPAIN STRUGGLING TO BE FREE,

The conclusion which was so distinctly
predicted in the REPUBLICAN at the. time
of the triumphal entry of Amadeus into
Madrid is gradually approaching COM
pletion. In the Spanish Cortes the re-
publican members have mustered strength
enough to propose the withdrawal of the
vote which erected Spain into a monarchy,
and though the motion was lost, the
mover was not molested. Most of the
aristocratic families have withdrawn from
court and the young queen has commit
ted the fault of surrounding her
self with the former favorites of
Isabella. Besides, she has allied her
self with the reactionary party and with
the clergy, both unfortunate steps at pres
ent, for Spain is not prepared to accept
the profigacy of the one nor the sectarian-
ism of the other. There is but one safety
for Amadeus, and that is in the return of
Bonaparte to France. With republican
congress in session at Paris nothing can
suspend the assembly of similar body
at Madrid. But should Eugene

with such favor, will be accepted in Great
Britain, Notwithstanding the opposition
of the colonies. England does not pay
much attention to New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland in arranging her
diplomatic, troubles, and the protests that
go from this side of the Atlantic will
hardly awaken an echo in Parliament

themselves out of a serious difficulty on

All the irreconcilables who are abusing
VaIlandigham for attempting to lead the
Democracy into the Republican party,
invariably pretend to be devoted to the
constitution. What it would be profitable
for the country to know is just this, how
much of the constitution do these ire
concilables recognized? Will the Louis
vile Ledger enlighten us as to the extent
of its admissions about the charter of
American liberty? Does it pretend that
the amendments are not obligatory on the
people? The Republican party says they
are. What does the Democracy do? A
little expicitness on this point will save a

THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH,

Mr.. Jefferson Davis has, so far, unbo-
somed himself to some of his admirers in
Georgia, as to show them bosom full of
thoughts and suggestions that ought not
to be uttered. Next to the wisdom OF his
silence was the folly of his speech. The
confederate irrepressible ought either to
have been mute altogether or he should
have been confding as lover. He said
just enough to excite suspicion. He COM
planned sufficiently to satisfy the public
that he was still disloyal. He predicted
success which involves the destruction of
the government, for when Mr.. Davis says
that the cause is not lost, it is understood
that he means the cause which he refused
to surrender when it was overwhelmingly
lost. JEFF. is a stubborn man, partaking
somewhat of the Fenian in his nature :;
and his aspiration is not for constitutional
liberty in the Union, but for revolution
airy liberty in a separate confederacy. The
Fenian never relinquishes the idea of
Irish release from English thraldom, and
the refusal of Mr.. Davis to accept of the
broad and unquestionable freedom of the
United States, is fact that accuses him
of dissatisfaction with any and every
species of liberty that is coupled
with the American Union. He is
too vain to refuse ovations he
is too garrulous to hold his s. eech, and
he is too obstinate to forego the idea that
he ought to be the founder of State.
These defects in his composition con-
stantly actuate him to do things which he
ought not to do, and which he extenuates
even while indiscreetly engaged in their
commission. 1t is great thing that the
republic can allow these things, even in
the fallen leader of a great revolt, for in
some countries such sayings would shake
the money market and set the agents of
the State upon their metal to trap the
author of such revolutionary utterances.
