ing at tho foot of the Senator from

Of his (Bayard's) side asked when the
time was to come that the Southern
States could be rehabited. The Sen.
ator from Indiana (Morton) was asked
then what warrant he found in the

could give no answer.
When asked if he would interfere
with Louisiana or Mississippi any
more than he would with New Jer.

THE POLL OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

We fail to see that any good results can
come from the recently introduced prac-
tice of polling the Board of School Direc-
tors, and attempting to show how each
man voted upon the various questions in
secret session, We presume none of the
members are ashamed to avow their acts,
and it may Or may not be creditabie to
the opposition to have the fact generally
known that in one or two very important
contests they failed to make themselves
sufficiently persuasive to carry the ma
jorlty with them. A great many votes
were taken in the board upon questions of
policy in which the minority remained
silent because it was evident that there
was no use to make opposition.
Take the case of Mr.. Edmunds, for ex-
ample. Some of the members thought it
inexpedient to place this gentlemen in the
Boys High School not for any doubt'of
his eminent scholastic abilities, but solely
because of the prejudice which he would
encounter there on account of his being
about one-eighth colored. 1t is mistor-
tune that such prejudice exists, and it is
notorious Mr.. Elmunds has recently filled
another position in the schools with credit
and success, and some of the members
thought best to continue him in that
position. But there was decided major
ity Of the members who had other views,
and the minority gave way without pro-
test, being outvoted. To this extent every
member consented to the arrangement
which has aroused the fermentation of
the Bulletin and interrupted the harmony
of the school. No one member of de-
Lucrative body can have everything his
own way. 1t is very proper that he can
not, as in such case there would be no
necessity for the other members. Each
has, at times, to sacrifice his notions of
what is right and submit to others. And
it sometimes happens that when man
most thinks he is right he is the furthest
from being so.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Bulletins frantic appeals to the
people to withdraw their children from
the schools, and the lady teachers to
throw up their situations, have had little
or no effect. Every teacher is promptly
at her post, with at least two candidates
waiting for her situation in case she grows
patriotic and throws it up. The attend
ance of pupils is larger than usual at this
season Of the year, despite the enemies OF
public education, whether open or dis
guised It would be real God-send to
some hundred or more disappointed
ladies who have failed to secure engage
ments for the ensuing year if an equal
number of the successful were to take the
Bulletins advice and retire in patriotic
high dudseon. 1t will be time enough for
them to consider this question when the
fairs shall be established and the green
backs Which are needed to support
them in likeness are offered in sufficient
quantities. Political sentiment alone is a
poor reward for sacrifices. One can not
make marketing with it. Like Confeder-
ate notes, it has lost its exchangeable value
and all hold upon the public confidence.
When, therefore, poor girls, with perhaps
mother and several helpless brothers
and sisters to support, are called upon to
leave paying situations because somebody
has been appointed to position which
somebody else does not like to see him in,
they will think of the dear ones at home,
throw down the paper and hurry to school.
1t is good maxim to remember that
when one volunteers to give advice he
should be ready with his guarantees that
no evil results shall overtake those who
follow it. Is the Bulletin prepared to back
up its demand that the teachers shall
withdraw from the public schools with
ample provision for their subsistence? Is
there some way by which four hundred
unemployed people can be provided for
withall those who are depending upon
them? If SO, let them go in peace, for
there are Hundreds ready to take their
places. Nobody is absolutely necessary
in this world, nor any whose place can
not be filed. We think it much better
that those in the school service continue
to discharge their delicate and RESPONSE
BILE duties in accordance with their no.
tons of what is right, and leave to those
who can afford to run some risks the bust
neas Of taking the advice Of outsiders who
have no interest in them, and who are un-
able to furnish guarantees against loss
