New York has eoiIpaa sorry eaae8lisn lev.

teacher 81 school 0lIieef cerlifcs to The iAct
that ha has hcen taught for f0arieen weeks Of
that year the branches Of common school
education. And for each and every year
thereafter the employer is held bound to allow
him similar course Of education Tor at least
fourteen weeks, under penaliyof fifty dol

Compulsory education is not In accord
anee with free gosernment Il may suit

liberty.loviug people, The force or com
pulsiOn principle may be tried, here and
there, but il win be abandoned, unless en-
enacted in It's mildest and most modified
form, because Of its impneticability, and
because lis effect would be to give a rude
shock to the instincts Of liberty common
to freemcu. II interfares with the rela-
tion Of parent and child, and rends asun-
der this dearest Of family ties. Education
is 50 good and desirable thing that all
persons win want to enjoy its benefits, and
there is no need Of conpulsion, as all will
avail themselves Of educational privileges,
except in those rare cases where the pow
erty Of the family needs for the earningOf
daily subsistence, the labor Of the child.
To deprive the family Of their support I'M
der such circumstance, is not only cruel,
but tends to increase the number Of de-
pendents upon public charity, and to add
to the public burdens. 1t may be that the
family submitted to this kind Of privation
is that Of helpless, widowed, invalid
mother, dependent sister or other rela-
tive, who would thus be consigned to the
aims house or forced to the necessity Of
beggary for daily subsistence. Such in
stances would be by no means rare in our
populous towns and cities, and would work
much suffering. Independent Of all con
siderations Of this character, the principle
is wrong in itself 1t would be productive
of more mischief than good, and revolving
to every parental feeling and sentiment
and would be resisted with such determin
alton as to make its enforcement entirely
impacticabls, unless the law should be Sc
guarded and modified as to strip it of al
harshness, and then it would fail to b.
compulsory, and Of course imperative.

Governor Moses appears to have resisted
arrest after all, He has not only set the
courts at defiance, but has managed to
obtain warrant for the arrest Of the
sheriff who was ordered to take him into
custody. The State Solicitor wants the
Court to enforce its authority. The Court
holds the matter under Amusement, not
seeing clcrtly how to fight successfully
the armed negroes that Moses has sum
moned to protect his person from the
clutches of the law. Aud so Moses tri-
umphs and in the exuberance of his joy
and in gratitude for their valiant ardor in
rushing to his rescue treats his black
Praetorian guards to liberal supply Of
cigars and champagne With \ petition
for bankruptcy pending in one court and
Indictment for grand larceny hanging over
him in another be desires it to be under
stood that however great rogue he may
be the law cannot touch the sacred person
Of a Governor Of South Carolina.
The case of Governor Moses, of South
Carolina, is becoming serious. The Grand
Jury of 0rangeburg county has indicted
him for breach OF trust and grand larceny
with fraudulent intentions. A bench
warrant has been issued for his arrest. 1t
appears that Moses got $4,000 to pay his
private debts from Humbert, the ex- Treas
urer Of the county, who is himself a de-
faulter and under indictment.

The reader viii find on the first page a
poem by EMMA ALICE BROWNE, whose
harp is one Of the sweetest and tenderest
that ever vibrated to the touch of our
local votaries Of song. "THE COUNTRY
LAWYER" is good and seasouable, Court
being in session, and win be enjoyed by
all. We shall supplement this article, in
our next, with the VILLAGE PosTMAs-
TER" graphic picture drawn to life,
with even greater fidelity, We think, than
that Of the country LAWYER" Other
interesting articles win be found on the
outer form, to which attention is directed.

The Congressional election. to be held
this Fall, is more than usually imporiant,
il view Of the fact that the choice 81 the
next President may devolye upon Con-
gress. IL there should be moro than two
candidates in the Geld, and the people
should fail to make a choice at the ballot
box. The members 70 be chosen this
Fall, therefore, may have the choice ofthe
next President, and the Democratic party
should bear this in mind, throughout the
country, They should bring out their
best and most popular men, so as to run
no hazard Of defeat BY nominating unfit
or unpopular candidates.
The two districts in Maryland, lost to
the Democratic party by the crazy Greeley
movement, must be recovered, and solid
delegation again returned. Itean bedone
if we set about il in proper manner. Let
US enter the next campaign with the deter
mination that tie lost ground 10 Maryland
shall Be recovered.
In this Congressional district a number
Of candidates have been mentioned. Cecil,
having the Governor, will probably pre-
sent no candidate for Congress. Hartford,
having had the honor for three consecu-
tive terms, win probably be in the same
category with Cecil The candidate,
therefore, is likely to come either FROM
Baltimore or Carroll counties. In both Of
these counties there are number Of gem
tlemen all willing and ready to serve their
country in this capacity. Baltimore coun-
ty names Messrs. T, Sturgis Davis, John
Merrymap, George II. Carman, William
s. Keech, Judge Richard Grason, and
Capt. j. NJ. Hall. 10 Carroll county, the
names of Col John X. Longwell, Col.
William P. Maulsby, and Charles B. Rob
ertS, ESD, have been mentioned. There
appears to be no lack Of good men FROM
whom choice may be made. On whom
that choice is to fall, is now the question.
In the fourth district, composed Of the
counties of Frederick, Washington, Ale
gany, Garrett, and Montgomery, the name
ofthe Attorney General, Hon. A. n Syes-
ter, has been mentioned Mr.. Syester is an
able lawyer and fine speaker; his MN
uers and address are emineutly popular
and pleasing, and in political canvass he
would shake the foundation from under
the Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, who is likely to
be the candidate upon the other side.
