THE SCHOOL LAW.
EDITOR REruBLrcAx:

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
am sorry to see that you seem to misun-
derstand the scope of the present discussion
of this important question. From Your
editorial, in the REPUBLICAN of Saturday,
you leave the public to in fer that attacks
upon the present school law are directed
personally at the State Superintendent, and
you devote yourself wholly to defense of
that gentleman, instead Of to a discussion of
the law. For myself, have RETAINED from
any reflections or criticisms on him, except
such as related to the administration of his
office. beg you will not confound such
discussion with the personal attacks of "the
worst enemies of that gentleman
There appears to be some Misrepresentation
as to my position on the "ward SYSTEM as
expressed in my communication published
in the REPUBLICAN of Friday last. Every
city, incorporated town, or country ward,
should form one district, and be governed
by one board of school directors This, l
believe, will be found to be the only practic-
able plan, and this is how wish to be I'M
dePstood.
Objections have been made to any General
change in the present law at this session,
on the ground that it would destroy the
work already done-that all the labor of
the past year would be lost This need not,
however, be the case The schools already
established can continue as we'll, and better,
under the proposed System of government
than as at present. If the system is
radically wrong, and rot calculated to
meet the wants of the people, the quicker
another is substituted which lriH do it, the
better. The average duration Of school age
is about twelve years; consequently. about
one-twelfth of all the youths Of our State
are stepping.upon the stage of action each
year, and are expected to enter, educated
or unedueated, upon all the duties of life
Only a small proportion Of these arc now
able TO obtain even the most meagre educa-
tion, and the longer the present state Of If
fairs exists the greater the evil becomes.
Under these circumstances they have q
right TO claim lint tho Legislature now in
session give this snhjectits earliest and most
earnest consideration, and provide school
system which viii be rational and prac-
tioablc No excuse viii instify or paIliate 4
failure to dc 90. The wall-beiug Of every
citizen Of the State depends mors upon this
than on all other questions which will be
brought up during tho session What
words Of reprobation win foll0w eur law
makers from the thousands who this year,
and who have during past years, eeme for.

they again fail in this respect.
Respectfully,
W. II. VAN 0RNtM.

only been on the way thirty-three days
and that during two months he spent in
that State last fan he very often received
papers from this city that we're not to ex-
coed two or three weeks IN tranSitu!
Once, he says, he gotta paper from here

Mr.. Van ornum, of Baton Rouge, con-
ceives that We misapprchend "the scope
of the present discussion" OF the school
question. We assure that gentleman
that we understand it thoroughly and
fully. Bat be certainly misunderstands
heremarks of the REPUBLICAN on the sub
ject on Saturday morning. We made no
reference Whatever to his former letter to
the REPUBLICAN, and did not in any man
ner intimate that he ranked among 1.-THE
enemies" of the Superintendent On the
contrary, We suppose he is in full accord
with Mr.. Conway upon general questions
of policy, and expect to see them CO.
operate with other members of the Re-
publican partyin the work Of perfecting
our school system.

NEW AMENDMENT.

Civil service reform is one OF the latest
inventions with which the public has been
perplexed. 1t was thought at one time
that this new principle, which was popu-
lar because 50 few people knew what it
meant, would suffice to build national
party upon, and General Cox was sag
gested as the leader of the outbreak. The
most fstulent advocates of this new Or
gsnization,supposed that civil service re-
form was simply denial Of the right Of
the party inpower to levy contributions on
the officehelders. General Cox resisted
this custom, and, therefore, he was con-
sidered the, chief delight of the reforme1s.
Another party supposed civil service re-
form meant that the present race of office
holders should continue in position during
their natural lives, or until the penitentiary
caught them. Mr.. Jenckes thought that
the principle meant an examination
of all pubic officials, and con-
tinuity of official life, after selec-
ton, until the incumbent was
thrust out for reasons of public policy.
Mr.. Jenckes has been demolished by Will
liam Sprague, of Rhode Island, and his
proprietary interest in the reform busl-
ness is not as great as it was when the
principle first doomed upon the public
mind. Senator Trumbull evidently con-
siders that the civil service can be re-
formed by making it penal offense for
any member of Congress to solicit an
office for one of the sovereign people, but
he is not so much of his own way of
thinking as he WAS three weeks ago, for
his associate Senators ridiculed his sug-
gestion most unmercitully when it was
offered in the shape Of law. So that
the new principle, which was immensely
popular when it was not understood, is
now decidedly weak when it is known as
others know it. Its debility arises from
its departure from One great national
motto, z Phri5us Ua@n,
Aud now comes General Coburn, of
Indiana, who offers an amendment to the
constitution of the United States, pro-
viding that all United States officers shall
be elected by the people Ct the district in
which they are to hold Office. The gen.
eral excerpts from the operation of the
amendment all judicial officers. Now,
why is this lot the very thing that every
body has been hunting for? It meets all
the ends that have hitherto been sug-
gested, and it also RENTS the rows that
have hitherto disturbed the President and
the Congressman directly to the people
When the country elects the Collector of
the Port, the D,arshGl OF the district, the
postmaster OF the city, will this not bea
reforpl of the civil service 1t will GER
t:.iiily be a revolution of our present sys-
TEN, and its trial can not be resisted in
the name of the people without impeach-
ing the popular capacity. If we can
elect Governors, Sheriffs, Judges, Super
intendents of Education, ETC., why not
elect ALarshals, Collectors, Inspectors,
etc Make way, then, for the new
amendment.

On nA.RaEnRT.HT STREET.

The panic, or rather semi-panic, in
Slaughterhouse, seems to be about over.
The constitutional bears, and the chronic
eroakers, have for some time been prophe'
sying that the stock would go to twenty !;
but, thus far, they seem to have miscalcu-
lated Hints and i1nuendoes Of impen-
ding evil have been thrown out, and it
has been whispered that Judge Campbell
had gone to Washington in order to pre-
pare another judicial coup. II any Of the
"bears" were in court yesterday they
would have been surprised to see
the judge attending to his bust
ness as nsnal, and apparently upon
no hostile purposes intent. He has been
absent from the city on brief visit to his
family in Baltimore, during the vacation
of the United States Supreme Court
when, Of course, no motion could be
made. The Picaytne Of last evening in
timated that the Attorney-General Of the
State intends to take action in the matter;
but this may not be the Interpretation of
that officers recent movements.
Yesterday was a general day for the
election of officers Of banks and other
stock companies. The attendance, was
quite good, and much interest was mani
tested Among the companies which
chose directors yesterday was the Lou
isiana Lottery Company.
At the hoard last night, Mississippi
Valley Levee stock sold at SO, which is a
heavy advance over the rates prevailing
last week.
One thousand dollars American halves
sold at 1861.
In the street lot of Merchants Bank
stock was sold at sG5, and some Crescent
City Railroad at ST. go
The following were the offers and
bids in the hoard.

A RELIGIOUS POLITICIAN.

Cardinal Antonelli grayely protests to
tine Ministers of the European powers that
the occupation Of Rome by Victor Eman-
uel was done in violation of the>senti-
ment Of the italian people. The vote Of
forty thousand in favor of the measure as
against less than one thousand that OPP
posed the act, is the best answer to this
misstateIAent. Next. the fact that but for
French troops the Pope would have been
driven out Of Rome long ago is an.
other answer that contradicts SignoI
Antonelli very emphatically.
