THE SCHOOL APPOINTMENTS,

Df our contemporaries is favored
by correspondent, who signs himself 70,
herself) Justice" with a communication
setting forth the complaints against the
school board for not complying with all
the hopes and expectations raised in the
breasts Of applicants by the recent com.
petitive examinations. "Justice" charges
that many Of the candidates who passed
a successfr! examination were left out.
while others who had failed were APP
pointed TO situations. Now. whethe. this
complaint is strictly just or not. We can
not say. Certain it is. however, that a
very intimate acquaintance with the board
OF directors and many CT the teachers has
supplied us with no evidence to sustain it.
We are. therefore. in the position of one
having strong faith in a negative with the
proverbiai inability to prove it. There is
nothing in the law. however, that We can
discover that requires teacher, whose
conduct has been satisfactory and whose
services have heretofore proved efficient,
to be dismissed for failure to give
prompt and correc: answers to all Of the
questions proposed by the examining
committee. Some Of these problems
raised disputed questions, abou. which
difference OF opinion exists. and others
We're clearly out os the line OF ordinary
scholastic exercises. The difficulty that
confronts the directors is tina. there are
many more available candidates offering
a: every election than there are positions
to be filed. and some necessarily have TO
be left out. That very capable teacher,
thus failed to obtain situations is an al.
mitted fact, but that incompetent persons
have been chosen is not So clear. A: any
rate. If Justice will point them GU. By
name to the director. and establish IT,. &C.
curacy of his charges. we have no ioub.
a corrective vii! be promptly applied.
We hope. in any case. however. tina: zone
who has bravely Won the victory" is no.

tracted from Justices communication. as
we have good reason to question its
grammatical accuracy:

bers and rapid movement of travel seems
to render the enforcement of internal
quarantine almost impossible. The in.
convenience Of stopping travellers, often
poor people. and subjecting them to some
days additional expense and delay. must
be very great. and must occasion much re-
monstrance. If the panic and desire of
excluding other cities from a participa.

may be entirely suspended. In siewj Of
the perfectly new phase which these pro.

THE FREEDMEN's SAVINGS BANK. .

We are glad to learn from Mr.. C. D.
Sturtevant. cashier Of this useful institr,-
ton. that i: is in perfectly sound condi.
ton. We have never doubted this. but
the fact that small number OF timid de.
positors called for their money Oh Mon
day gave rise to some inquiry. which re-
suited in developing the fact that the
bank is strong. and likely to remain so.
1t Is also officially announced that the
chile: branch at Washington. so far from
beng creditor Of Jay Cooke l. Co.. is
actually a debtor to tina. firm in a small
amount. In this connection we may re-
pea: that the frs. impression that Jay
Cooke Co. will soon come out of their
difficulties all RICH: is somewhat strength.
enea by subsequent advices. That emil
nent firm is deserving the respect. as we
believe it enjoys the confidence Of the
whole American people. It is believed.
however. that the fact that it formerly
had transactions with the freedmen's saw.
!nSS banks caused some little feeling of
alarm IL the minds Of some OF the depos.
TORS CT the latter in this city. which has.
however. happily passed away.

A PROSPECT OF RELIEF.

The totally demoralized condition o
some of the parishes of this State calk
loudly for relief. In the wise provisions
Of nature there is remedy for every evi
which is not in it's nature incurable: and
the case of the outlaws tina: have 70. SC
long set at naught the laws and snapped
their fingers in the face Of decent society
does not come within any exception to the
general rule. There is powe. that is
amply able to call them to account. and
i vii! be surely invoked i: the local
authorities prove inadequate to the task
We have il from high authority that the
! government of the United States seriously
conteinplates applying the provisions OF
the kT-kluX laws to such parishes as
franklin. Catahouia. Grant. St. Tam
many. Nerm,Iiou. and others where the
inertness or something worse Of the better
portion o: the people has permitted des.
peradoes. thieves. murdarerS and law
breakers Of al. kinds to &c: the upper
hand and roam around at pleasure. This
sharp remedy was applied 4 year or two
ago III the Carolinas. since which no Sec
ton in the whole country has been better
behaved. That the government has the
authority aud the force to execute it. few
!: any will dispute: the better part of the
people Of tie whole country demand its
exercise. and the able man a. the head of
the Law Department: is 10: ore to shrink
from: the performance o: 4 we'll under

When the time Of .r:a, comes. tie mis-.

suited IL the agreemen: of wealthy Bos.

interests Of the State 1t the same time.
We have SO often been beguiled with
fair promises that hope is all but worn
threadbare; ye: this projec. is so vital to
the prosperity of our people. that repeated
and bitter disappointments have not
served to wholly destroy hope. We say,
therefore. to the new company, which
appears to be il an embryo state, gen.
tlemen. only give Us the road and do it
speedily, and We will scan with cha,ita.

say. Let there b.. 10 more Of iobberv,
