THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

During the last session of the Legis-
lature, Hon. John Garstkamp, of Jeffer-
son, objected to the school bill then
offered, on the ground that already the
school system had been amended twice
during his time and he wanted to know
whether it was the object of the friends
of education to offer new bills every year.
The bill then under discussion passed
both houses. In the House of Repre-
sentatives but three or four of all the
members voted against it. In the Senate
it passed unanimously. The school system
as it now stands has been in operation
less than nine months, and some of the
members of the Legislature from the
country tell us that boards of directors
Tor their districts have not yet fully Or
gained their schools One member assures
us that it was only yesterday that a school
board for his parish was appointed, the
citizens having failed to designate men to
act.
In other States where public schools
constitute the proudest of their popular
enterprises school laws are liable to fewer
changes in short periods of time than any
others. In this State We have had three
different systems of education in less than
three years, each system involving delay
in organization, confusion Of records,
change of officers, and expense to the State.
The Governor tells Us in his message that
these changes resulted from disregard of
the wishes Of the State school authorities,
and that the system as it was amended last
winter is deserving Of popular support.
and that it is the result of wise experience.
In 1869 the school funds of the State
amounted to nearly 100000 in this State
but there We're no public schools outside
of New Orleans. The report of the State
Superintendent for the past year, which is
now about to be placed before the Legisla-
ture, shows that little over $4,000 las
been disbursed through the whole State
last year, and that nearly 700 schools have
been kept in operation. In the face of
these facts we see no room for complaint.
Certainly the present system has had no
time for Development and it would seem
to us very unwise to be changing this very
Important part of our State policy every
six or nine months, thereby involving new,
abrupt and expensive changes of directors,
school officers and school records.
1t is notorious that the system of educa-
ton inaugurated by the present General
Assembly has been industriously enforced,
and that the system of blank forms and
records which it required the State Super
intendent to prepare have been printed |
and distributed to all the school boards in |
the State. These have been commended |
on every hand for their neatness and COM
pleteness. We earnestly urge all true
friends Of education to give Mr.. Conway's
annual report a careful reading before lay
ing violent hands on the school system,
which, by the way, is not yet year old.

The new bennett of the Planters Banner
has gone back on the old bennett who used
to direct that discontinued newspaper, for
he says that to accuse him of LOVING a
carpet-bagger is to tell an infamous lie.
AS old man bennett was a carpet-bagger,
the new man bennett commits the unpar-
donabie sin, for he refuses to love his
father. a few years residence does not
rlpen an exotic into native, youthful
bennett. And the use of the word liar is
not a gentlemanly habit.

Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Scotield were opposing

that Mr.. Rice concluded to return to the

Congressman Stevenson, of Ohis; hit
the nail squarely on the head when, in
reply to Nj. Beck's charge that the South
had been plundered by the Republicans,
he answered that, while there had been
some stealing done in the South, the ex-
tent of the plundering had been grossly
exaggerated. and if what had been done
was fairly investigated, it would be proven
that Democrats had suggested and profited
10y most Of it. The late mob in this city,
which Was a Democratic outburst, was
merely little arrangement in the interest
of corruption. 1t was instigated and
partly paid for by the lobby,

Ii this anxious ''citizen" would refer to the
Journal OF the United States Senate for

The Bee parades the names of number

The Bee parades the names of number
of members of the General Assembly be-
fore the public for no other reason than to
show that they have heretofore been
thought worthy to fill other positions. In
stead, however, of regarding this as a
merit, the Democratic carper urges it
against them as an objection. Perhaps
the Bee would like to select members of
the Legislature as the criminal courts do
jurymen-that is, employ those only who
are totally Ignorant of their duties.

The Citizens G1td'd expects soon to see
Governor Warmoth dragging himself be
fore the congressional committee by the
lapel of his coat. His excellency mani
tests no such anxiety, but trust the good
sense and honesty of the committee to dis
cover the complete justification for his
policy and administration. The patron of
the Guard, ex-Speaker Garter, could not so
contain himself, but forced his presence
on the members of the committee before
the dust of travel had been shaken from
their garments. This officious and too
willing witness did not however, win much
credit by this manifestion of anxiety.

BY way of enforcing a great moral pre-

vain to suppose that, however large space
Won occupy in your own estlma'ion' the

sition. if all reports are true about the TEN

and corruption? Field Marshal Halstead
is better read, not to speak of his superior
honesty in dealing with political disputes,
than the Chrin,es and Tonicle, and if he
will correct the latter's scandal, we shall
then feel satisfied that Ohio has been
purged of any poison which the Beneg-
cleston organ may have attempted to ad-
minister.
The Springfield (Massachusetts) Repub-
lcou has formed very correct opinion
upon the Louisiana difficulty, as will be
seen by the following extract from its
issue of the twenty-third instant:
Mr.. Carter finally thought better of his
threat to take possession OF the hall OF the
Louisiana House of Representatives yester-
day, and the threatened collision between
the opposing clans at New Orleans IS,
therefore, postponed, if not wholly averted:
Tomorrow the congressional committee OF
investigation start for the scene of strife
to commence their labors. Whether
they will be able to accomplish much
toward a settlement of the quarrel
NAV fairly be doubted, but. as General

there is one element at New Orleans that
can not be allowed to go longer unnvesti-

in this respect more fOrcibly than the chair
man of the committee on appropriations
did when he said: IF the officers down
there have done 1.-THE of what is alleged
against them. it is high time that their con
duct be investigated: and, if they have not
done it. it is high time that the government

answer to this charge? What response
