. Mr.. WELLS: observe in the Times of
Jan. Both communication headed Public
schools" from your correspondent JuSti-
cia. tJustitiA). As | am unable To find
after diligent search, any classical author
ity for the photography of Justicia, (the
old classical word is Justitial, naturally
conclude that it is profound connection
and brilliant emanatiou of genius too
expansive and progressive for the observ-
anceS and limitations of ancient and etfete
rules Matched, doubles, with ''uaScrUpa
L,'ls rare, and. Mincrya-like, projected
full-hedged from the prolific brain of this
Jupiter ronaus. We are sagcly and gra-
ciously informed, in the communication
aforesaid. that his Highuess, in the pleni-
tude of his wisdom, has no DEGREES to pro
miyats' concerning the colored Schools
that they are too incilablv Contemtible
contemplate To come in for any of the
crumbs that fall from his select table.-too
low, too dehaScd and dark for the serene
lights ofhis benevolent countenance,- and
| tit subjects only for consignment To Tarta-
rian darkness amid the thunders and ana
themas of his dire and avenging wrath
together with all who do not meekly and
humbly bow to his august sccptre, and
swallow, rs gospel truths, his insane and
pucrile rawlings and denuncatons of the
mad folly and inutility" of colored schools.
But TO the inetfable qualification of all
fathers and mothers, and the Wild delights
of little children, we are graciously and
mercifuly informed that "ot the manage
ment Of orr pubiic schools he has something
to promulgate, that his prolific and fecund
brain is pregnant and ready to be deliver
ed Of new and startling evangcl, which
is TO elcctrify and vitalizc the dormant and
semi-liteless school system ofCharles coun-
ty, and which, like the sword of AleXan-
der, Will cleave the Gordian knot and solve
and settle forever the intricate problem of
the Public School system. And now, as
with bated breath and palpitating hearts
and eager faces, we await the suspicious
birth, heralded with trumpcts and ban
ners-lo. mot the poor Indian"
"Montes pdrturiunt, mas ridiculUs adscitHrO
this startling and electrifying announce
ment is "promulgated" with oracular solem-
nity--viz: 1--WE firmly believe that if the
trustee branch of the system were Topped
off, and the sole management given up to
I Mr.. LLOYD its success would be guaranteed
to much greater degree The great and
abstruce problem is solved, at least to the
intense qualification and entire satisfaction
Of Justcia,-an hencetorth this great
school engine, under new auspices free
and unfettered by otiicious and meddle
some trustees in its onward and upward
march to glory and to victory, is to move
on sweetly and smoothly in the grooves
marked out by oracular wisdom and with
unerring and consummate skill. We only
wonder that your correspondents in his
mania for ''lopping off, should have over
looked the School Board scheme
would then have been perfect Perhaps
| in his next diatribe the Board will find it
self suddenly ''lopped off" by the ineNor
able pruning knife of your correspondent
(who permits no superiluous outcroppings
in the scholastic vineyard) and consigned
to the Limbo of all forgotten things.
Now, that the late Examiner is worthy
Of the high encomium lavished upon him
