NOVEL DEArH.-A colored man
named Joseph Walker, who was a Ia
borer upon the plantation of Mr..
James Teller, two miles below town,
on the river, came to his death in
novel manner one day last week. He
was driving Il pair or mules hitched to
a cane-cart, when the stick which
held the front portion of the cart-bed
down upon the frame, became ]oos-
ened from its flstenings, and the. bed
tilted up while the cart was in motion,
the. driver in falling catching with his
chin over the head-board, and when
the rear end Of the bed struck the
ground the shock broke the mans
neck, causing instant death. g,

Compelled Mixed schools.

Elsewhere will be found thoughtful and dis
Passionate communication upon the question of
compelled Mixed Schools. The writer saws
justly. that the whole matter is one Of conye-
H.enCe and not Of right, just as we have separate
schools ssT girls and boys, for scholars OF differ
ent grades Of attainments, for the deaf and
dumb, for the blind, for the study Of law or of
medicine, or of theology.
As regards the argument referred to in behalf
OF mixed schools, that the colored schools have
not a. good accommodations as the white
schools, the answer is that ii is not true. The
run OF the cOlOred schools are accOmmOG ated in
better buildings than the run of the white
schools. Taking out of account two or three
exceptional buildings, such as the Frank
lin ard Wallach buildings, the colored
school buildings are infinitely better than
the rooms in which one hundred and thirty
or mere white schools are accommodated

schools are the most inferior description many

and entirely Unst for school purposes. And it
should be matter for reflection for those who
are misShieTously urging measures calculated to
cripple, II not break down, our school system
that the reason why, with school tax heavier
than in any other city in the country, We have
lot yet been able to provide suitable school
buildings. is that We have thrown upon US the
enormous burdens of educating the children of
the government employees, who pay no taxes
here, AID the children of the Immense "con-
trabsnd' population brought here by the
war, and who pay no taxes, or virtually none
Under these increased burdens the annual ex-
Ienditures for the public schools OF Washing
ton have gone up from So, 900 in 1860, to
$4,000 in 1S'2; and this sum is not adequate
Tor the demands. Our taxpayers are struggling
on as best they can under this enormous loadof
taxation for the education OF their own and
everybody else's children; but the limit of tax
rate seems now to have been reached and it il
a serious question how the schools are to be
maintained unless additional revenue is obtain
ed from some other quarter thaa the overbur-
dened taxpayers.
We advise those who are busying the mselves
with mlschievous measures. calc lated to Grip
PIE the schools, and which are demanded by
neither white nor colored, TO set about the more
benihsont work Of securing from Congress such
aid for or schools in the way OF land grants as
