State Board of Education.

The board met pursuant to the call of the
president in the rooms OF the educational
department, at the State House, at twelve
o'clock yesterday.
State Superintendent Hon. William e..
Brown and Division Superintendents Loud,
Boothby. Heating and Stoddard were
present.
After the regular order of business the
president addressed the Board at length,
reviewed the work of the department for
the past year, and suggested such measures
for consideration and action at this session
as its condition seemed to indicate essen
tial. The familiar acquaintance with the
school work throughout the State evinced
by the presidents remarks and suggestions
revealed the master mind that has charge
OF our educational interests, now being
permanently established. The division SUI
perintendents must have been exceedingly
grateful for the sympathy manifested
toward them in the difficulties and trials
incident to their respective fields of labor,
and which can but result in fostering the
peculiar and happy relations which exist in
the State Board.
The remarks of the division superinten-
dents relative to the reorganizations of the
parish school boards throughout the State,
which were elected by the suggestions Of
the president, promise to relieve the new
school boards of all known inefficient and
unworthy directors.
Recommendations of persons for appoint
ment as school directors, submitted to the
State Superintendent, we're referred to the
superintendents for examination and in
dOrsement, after which the board adjourned
until noon to day.

The Election i'm Connecticut.

Not enough is known OF the election in
Connecticut yesterday to predict the final
result, further than that the Democratic
candidate for Governor is reelected by q
reduced majority. It is claimed that Gen.
eral Hawley is defeated for Congress in the
first district, though it is hard to SEQ how
this can be, from the figures given, ae COM
pared with those of two years ago, when he
was elected by over 1000 majority. The
personal unpopularity of Mr.. Kellogg in
the second district may result in his defeat.
He was elected by only a majority of eighty.
seven in 1873. Ex-senator Lafayette S.
Foster, a renegade Republican. is a candi-
date against Starkweather, the sitting Re-
publican member from the third district,
while Barnum will probably be reelected
in his Democratic stronghold. From these
two districts, however, no intelligence is
received. The Democrats, through their
Associated Press, concede Republican gains
in the Legislature, and this admission may
be indicative of brighter results than are
shown this morning.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-04-06
he acquired no title to the property there

by.
The opinion concludes as follows: cal
though the public enemies within their own
disloyal territory have a right to make con-
tracts among themselves, and such con-
tracts are held valid in other countries, we
do not think the claimant acquired that
right by leaving the city Of his domicile and
residence after it had been six months in
possession Of the federal forces. Crossing
into the insurgent territory and then &C.
cepting under the Confederate government
as agent for the exchange Of its bonds,
especially as it does not appear that he
intended to desert wholly to the enemy and
take up his domicile in their territory, on
principle and theory, we are of the opinion
the claimant is not entitled to recover
Judge Loring dissented, saying, among
other things, the objection made to the petit
toners recovery is, that the sales of cotton
to him were made between enemies, and
are therefore absolutely void on the whole
case. l think the sales in question are valid
in law, because the petitioner and these
with whom he dealt in them we're Conted-
crates in fact and name, and all alike ene-
mics of the United States when the sales
were made in October, 1862; and l think
that is the time to which the question of the
validity of the sales is to be referred, and
the only time material to it.
