The school Bill.

Ga Thursday, all honor TO our Legisla-
ture, the school bill was passed over the
Governors veto. That the bill has defects,
its best friends will not deny, and such
must be the case in any bill that might be
passed 1t is a clearly determined fact in
the history of public free schools in every
State in America and Europe, that a school
law for any given district Of country or
people, can only be perfected in the light
of intelligent observation upon its practical
workings. The never has been Il
law yet framed that was adapted
to all countries or even To a
large number. 4 school law, to be sue
cess. must be engrafted into the policy Of a
State or government, and grow up and de-
vclop to a perfection that shall meet all the
exigencics of the case. The general defect
of school laws is complication-too much
machinery to work smoothly in the rural
districts and among those who have not
much leisure to devote to the study of the
law. As we understand the school bill, it
does not propose and is not designed to
supcrsedc all other systems and institutions
for education, but to furnish without
charge primary education for the masses.
If it proposes more, then we must
emphatically assert it is failure. 1t will
only be necessary to sustain this assertion
to refer to the fact that the education dur
ing ten months each year of all the chill
drcn of our State would cost not less than
three millions of dollars. This direct tax
added to other expenses Of our State gov
crnmcnt would be q heavy load to carry.
One of the grave objections urged to the
present school law is that it provides for
only four months session each year. In
the Northern States. which offer them
selves as AN example worthy of imita-
ton on the subject of education
and claim To have school laws as near per
fcction aS time and experience and
the mass Of the children do not at
tend school more than three months in
each year. and nearly all these public free
schools are taught by students from the va
rious colleges. The vacations Of the va
rivtr, c5iIvEos &C arranged % meet This
necessity and demand for teachers. BY
this plan, the masses in the North have
been educated in these primary schools,
which have in their reactive influence, sup
ported the high schools and colleges.
Another potent reason for this short
school term in the North Is that the chill
dren have to work in the field and shop and
factory large portion of the year to aid
their parents in securing for them food and
,iu,ning. y TIC property .:oldsrs aad taS
payers Of the State of Texas give to all the
children, within the school age, four months
schooling in each and every year. we assert

The Election Bill Passed.

1t will be recollected that the House
passed an election bill providing for the
election of thirty Senators and ninety Rep
resentatives next fall. This was done after
an indefinite bill, which had gone to the
Governor, had been withdrawn from his
hands by Speaker Taylor. When this new
House bill reached the Senate, that body
refused to adopt it, but amended by insert
ing instead of thirty, ten Senators. The
House then refused TO adopt the amended
bill, and on reaching the Senate again, that
body refused to recede from its amendment.
At this stage, on Thursday, the bill seemed
lost, but the circumstances only gave re-
newed energy to the friends of the bill, and
on Friday a reconsideration of the vote was
moved, and after the persistent tilibustering
on the part of its enemies, the Senate finally
agreed to recede from its amendment, and
the election law, providing for Il general
election on the first Tuesday in December
was passed.
The contest was led on the part of the
passage of the bill by Senator Finlay and
against its passage by Senator Fountain.
and while we admire the brilliant efforts of
the first, we must say that the tilibustcring
of the latter only required aid to have
made it more successful.
But thanks to the energy displayed, we
have this vexed question now disposed OF
there is%%every assurance that 1t VIII

The Congressional Convention and Ex-
cuFgiOn.

The recent convention of members of Con-
gress, in st. Louis, was originated by the
entcrprising men of the West, for the pur-
pose of calling together our federal Legisla-
tors in a pleasant reunion, and showing
them the vast resources Of that region, that
they might see and know her rapid strides
in internal improvement, and her great need
in material development.
Quite respectable number accepted the
invitation, and assembled in st. Louis where
they had an informal consultation, and cX-
change of views. An invitation was ex-
tended to them by the citizens of Galveston
to visit that nourshing city, and partake of
its hospitalities, which was accepted. The
excursion left st. Louis for Galveston on
the 10th inst, by way Of the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, and the Houston & Texas
Central Railways. The whole route was Il
grand ovation. The citizens of every
important point on the lines of
railroads turned ont to wei
come them. and received them with enthusi-
astic cheers and mbounded hospitality.
The excursion party arrived in Galveston
on the Goth, where an enthusiastic crowd
awaited them at the depot. Grand pre-
partitions had been made for their reception,
and the programme was we'll arranged,
and carried out in splendid style Elo-
quent speeches were made by both parties
and cordial greetings intcrchangcd.
Everybody seemed to he well pleased
with the cX cursion. and it is hoped that
such visits will exert a strong and enduring
influence on tho people of the North.
towards entirely cradicating that feeling of
prejudice which many of them have long
felt towards the South.
There were many ladies in the party, and
they were particularly delighted with tho
fine gardens and beautiful display of flower,
in Galveston.
We hope that such happy occasions may
rccur more frequently in the future.

The Arctic Expedition.

Our readers have already been apprised
by our published telegraphic dispatches, of
the failure of Captain Halls Arctic expedi-
ton. Captain Hall died on the eighth of
November last, and shortly afterwards,
but on what account does not seem to be
shown, the crew of the Polaris separated :;
a portion, and an Esquimaux squaw and
some children left the ship and took pas
sage on floating iceberg, and Captain
Buddington remained on board the ship
with the remainder of the crew.
The Polaris has not been heard from yet,
but the party of Tyson and Myers were lately
rescued from the iceberg by the Tigress, and
on the twelfth instant were landed
ut st. Johns, Newfoundland. The Esqui-
mauX were led through the streets, and their
appearance created quite sensation.
Most of the party were destitute of cloth
ing, and liberal subscriptions were raised
for their relief. The Secretary of the
Navy has issued orders for the whole party
TO he brought to Washington, with a view
to an investigation of the management and
cause of the failure of the expedition, and
Il vessel has been sent in search of the Po-
laris. There seems to be an impenetrable
mystery surrounding the death of Captain
Hall, and the separation of the crew. which
we hope will soon be explained

ANOTHER DAVIS VS.. HONEY CASE.
Seizure Of the Louisiana state Treasury

Seizure Of the Louisiana State Treasury.
From the New Orleans Herald of the 18th,
we learn that the Auditor, an officer cores
ponding to our State Comptroller, has
forcibly ousted the incumbent of the
Treasury, and taken possession of the of

the laws of Louisiana the two offices arc
as separate and distinct as are the offices of
Comptroller and Treasurer in our State
but the new Kellogg Auditor named Clin-
ton has on his own motion. sustained by
Kellogg and federal bayonets, consolidated
the two offices, and hung out his sign in
large golden letters,
OFFICE OF STATE AUDITOR AND TREASURER.
The Herald says of the affair:
"A responsible and respectable cOlored
man, who was lawfully elected to the con-
stitutional office of State Treasurer, who
holds the Office by an indisputable title, is
thus outsted of the powers and duties of his
office, and the absolute control of the States
revenues arrogsted, by an illiterate adven-
turer who was defeated by popular vote
Of twelve thousand!n
This certainly is the highest tribute to the
honesty of that colored man, that could
.pOssibly have been paid him.
This case is about equal TO the high
handed usurpation, and insolence and reck-
lcssness of our executive. We wonder if
they have Supreme Court, TO which they
can appeal and have this outrage as promptly
rebulled as ours have rebuked the insolence
and tyranny of Governor Davis!

The Irr.l, in Alnericn.

On the banks of the river Dan, in North
Carolina, some of the mounds which are
found scattered over different portions of
North America, and generally supposed to
be the ancient burying grounds of the abo-
rignal tribes ofIndians, have been washed
away and left their contents exposed.
Among the contents were found skeletons,
pottery, arrow and spear heads, and other
articles ofwarfare and domestic implements.
But the most wonderful thing discovered
among the relics were a wheelbarrOw and
gold, silver and copper coins bearing Celtic
Inscriptions, from which it is decided that

Our Indian Frontier.

1t is real misfortune when the law-mak-
ing power have to resort to indirect and
doubtful legislation to meet great pressing
necessity. The settlers on our Indian from
tier, wasted and suffering from constant
raids by the Indians, having been denied
sufficient protection by Federal troops, and
having been refused the privilege of organ
izing in military companies to protect them
selves, our Legislature have been forced to
resort to the indirect and doubtful method
of remitting the tax levied on certain from
tier counties, and His Excellency the Cover
nor has permitted, as the only remedy in his
power, this act to become law, although he
doubted its constitutiOnality. It is certain
ly demonstrative evidence of great imper-
fection in the principles of our government,
or an utter disregard or palpable violation
of the fundamental law of our confedera-
ton. A State is refused both the means
and the L-ts-z-nroteck its cs'lEenS, and
EpfOperT9 from tho conseu-ss( EpredatiOfrs on
Indians-Indians, too, that are in perpetual
and avowed hostility to both Federal
and State authority. A government
may be justly declared in state of
transition, or weak from youth
or imbecility, when it fails or refuses to
meet the exigencies of case so important
and yet so simple and easy of adjustment.
We are at least pleased to see His Excel
lency the Governor go to the extent of his
authority in giving protection to these suf-
fering people. A people left to defend
themselves singly and alone, ought at least
to be released from paying tax that so i'm
perfectly secured them the most sacred
rights of citizenship. How far this indi-
rect legislation may go towards securing
the object designed, we ale not prepared to
say. Time alone can prove its success or

of Texas will leave nothing undOne which
will make the public school system a sue

aside for the purposes of education-the

The State obligates itself to pay certain
salaries to its employees; and is it not its
duty to pay this amount in paper worth its
face value, instead of in warrants at present
valued at not more than eighty cents on
the dollar, with probability of much
greater depreciation? When warrant is
drawn upon the treasury, the money should
be there to meet it upon demand. If any
thing is to be lost the State should be the
loser, and not the employee, who is barely
promised enough to support him. That
promise should be made good by placing
the money in the treasury to meet the de
