SENATOR POLK.


On the day previous to the election
of Mr. Johnson to the senate, when
about fifty ballots IN ali had been taken
and the whole question seemed to be
at dead lock, Senator Polk of Harde-
man made the following remarks which
explain themselves :
MIR Speaker: uaving balloted for the
last six DAYS with an anxious desire
&c elect a United States Senator, which
unfortunate delay has already co the
people of the State thirtyNfive hundred
lllars, besides delay in the Legisia-
tive business demanded at our hands
by the people, and being fully satis>
fed Nj. Speaker, from what / know,
that no election can be made at the
present sitting of the convention with
the candidates now before this body, I
desire sir, to contribute my efFnrts 70
solve the difficulty in reaching the paint
of an election Of United States Senator
| by proposing, on nv own responsible II
| ty, and without consultation, the name
of a distinguished cirIzsn of the State,
upon whom | hope we can al cordial>
| lY unite and effect an election to this
high, honorable and responsible Office.
| 1t is with reluctance Mr. Speaker, that
] recognize the fact that there is diff
| ference, an unfortunate difference, in
the views of the NJ emhers of our time
! honored Democratic party, and so mark
| ed as to have received by some the ap-
| pellatiun Uf the two wings of the Dem
Ocratic party. This difference is based
upon transactions belonging to the past
and houiG be considered as a part OF
the dead past, and should not be revived
or kept alive to the detriment of the
interest Of this now triumphant and
living party, which has accomplished
all that is good in cur government and
all that ISL romotiye Of the rights of the
sovereign people.
In behalf Of the interests Of this great
Democratic party, in order To secur

sOAOOl Law Again.

We understand; that many of the mem
bers Of the Legislature are very much
disposed to resist any amendments what
ever to the Public School Law. That
there ought to be sOAe changes made.
We tAink We haze shown very clearly
lh previous Issues of The Bulletin. We
rep eat, however, that the 33d Section
ought to be so amended as to enable the
public school system to cooT crate with
private schools already established, anti!
such time as the State shall be able %
contribute the means to give as efficient
tree schools ten months in each year.
The system, as it is, seems only to crir.
pie the private schools while it is una
able to help itself to success. One dol-
lar and twenty cents, the amount each
scholar is entitled to here, Is just enough
TO cause some little feeling as to its dis
position and really to do more harm than
good. We do not wish to repeat now
all that we have said heretofore on this
subject as our position Is we'll UNDER
stood by the readers Of this paper, and
we are gratifed to know that so many of
them think as we do. But we can say
to our legislators again that our people
are disguised aud dissatisfied with the
workings of the law as it is, and that if
as Legislators they wish to properly rep.
resent the wishes Of their constituents,
they will work increasingly to have such
changes made in the public school law
as will enable each and every tax pay
er, who has children, to get his pro rata
Of the school fund, without being COM
PEELED to send his children to an inefi~
silent teacher who undertakes to instruct
three times as many pupils as a good
teacher could instruct This is especial,
y hard on the tax payer who has con-
tributed his money towards building ur
nR efficient private school in his neigh,
borhood, when the : tate was too poor tc
offer even the small pittance she now
offers towards the education Of her chill.
dren. Finally, the public and private
systems by wise legislation eau be made
to support each other As they now
stand they antagonize each other and
the public system is too poorly provi-
ded with funds to help itself This il
the whole thing in a nut shell.

says that he was elected by the mob
which he brought into the halls of the

and under the timiditY of legrslatu re
which quaiIed before the DEMONSTRATORS.
His ccmnunistic ideas found express
sion in the disgraceful uproar which
for one week has rendered the halls

same paper criticises the action of the
majority in electing Mr.. Johnson. and
predicts that the conservative element
Of the State will yet speak in such
thunder tones as will startle that faith

Now this criticism conveys the idea
that no one made any noise except the
friends of Mr., Johnson while all re-
ports from Nashville inform US that
the friends of each one Of the aspir>
ants frequently broke out in uproari gu
