'sat the bottum Of The hole thing, and he
j'st wants to sit more OF these free skools
goin, that is the pain of land to,day,
don't understand that lam ageiu eddy.
kashun, for i am in favur Of fre eddyka
shun in the troo sense Of the word, and
not in favur Of this tirannice sistem that
makes man hav to 20 and be egzamined
BY sooperintender and a1ed all sorts of
nonsensible kweschens that baint 20,
nothin to do at all With mans ability
to keep skool, say let every man keep
Skool that wants to do so il tho peepul
will hire him, and il he aiut aloud to
do so, he is deprived of his const tooshu>
nal rites that our foreiathers fout and
died to gare. -..
Now the hole matter in breef is this

trlst of few stuck up skoolmasters Il at

Nj. Editor:
DEAR SR:-A sudden desire has
seized your correspondent to write a
letter for tho Henth and Tribune not
that there is anything new to write from
this Democratic stronghold. Lut for the
purpose Of saying q word or two on the
political situation. TIE Republican
party has allowed its ancient adversary to
gain some uuimportant and sume I'M.

crimes in those Southern States under
Republican RUE, and then publish to th,
world that it is the result Of Republica,
rule. In one sense it is correct, for i
Democracy was in power In those States

that then there would be no necessity 70
killings few Republicans for poltica
effect and another that when few wer
murdered the outside world would neye
hear Of it, for there would be no oficia
to report it. The trousle in this matte
is that our friends North, aud Republi

: States where these murders are perpstrp
