Banditti.

II may be doubted whether there was ever
as large and respectable a banditti in any COM
munity as that which Sheridan has to deal
with 10 Louisiana. It's composed Of the great
body of the professional men, the agriculturists
and the artisans Of the State All the intel
ligence, the enterprise, the honesty, and the
honestly acquired property Of the State are
enrolled in this "bauditti." The bishops and
other clergy Of all the leading denominations
Of Louisiana are acting as so many Friar Tucks
to this Robin Hood band Even the foreign
residents have announced themselves rs Access
series to those whom Sheridan has virtually
declared worthy Of death by drum-head court
martial At last we have the Louisiana and
Mississippi. grangers, who. in joint address to
the members Of the order throughout the Union,
vouch for the entire trustworthiuess Of the
congressional subcommittee report, which
gives the logical lie to Sheridan and Kellogg's
crew, and bespeak for it careful and candid
reading. Believe US" they say, this re-
port tells you the truth" When Sheridan gets
through with the clerical, Commercial, and me-
chanical desperadoes, he should look after
these agricultural banditti." What a pity
that the only honest man in Louisiana should
be so bcso. by rogues.-B Baltimore san.

clipped from the Balti
timore San the short article below, delivered
by his Honor, Judge Gilman of the Criminal
Court Of that City, on q school discipline"
The authority is so high aud the comments of
the Judge are SO proper, that thought its
more general publication would not be amiss,
but serve a good purpose. Please give it an
insertion 10 your excellent paper, and oblge
A TEACHER.
Among the numerous cases before Judge
Giimor 10 the Criminal Court, on Saturday,
was a case against DR.. Charles II. Cockey for
an assault on George Z. Stayior and Louis
Cnoupin, two youths who attended one Of the
night schOos taught by DR.. Cockey. The
youths were a so charged with asSaulting the
teacher The affair having occGuel one night
several weeks ago.
Judge Gimor dismissed all the cases, both
aga;ns, the teacher and the boys. In thus
d:sposng Of tie matter the Judge took occa-
sion to make some remarks on discipline in
schools, avowing himself an advocate Of the
enforcement Of discipline by the use of proper
and moderate correction. " Where there was
no undue violence, bat only such corporal
punishment used as was necessary to preserve
good order and deco.um, the authority Of the
teacher should be upheld and the parents of
the boys subjected to discipline should be
grateful to tie teacher for training up his pu-
pills in obedience to HIN who in his school
stands in loco PARENTS. E,ol if there was
blame a;;achable to one or both parties, it is
much better that cases Of school discipline
should be settled under the proper authorities
than that they should be dragged into Crimi-
ua! Court. Teachers, Ike o.her men, were
human and liable to get into passion some
times, but he would not be quick to listen TO
the com plants Of boys. He was once boy,
and knew that they were apt 10 be unjust to
their teachers when enrascd a; being castigated,

The Harper,s Ferry Property.

Last session, says the Washington Cores
pondent Of the Baltimore Sun, the subject Of
the sale Of Harper's Ferry property was refer
red TO the Senate judiciary committee. with
sundry communications from the Attorney
General relating to the subject. 1t is under
stood that the committee is of the opinion that
the law officers Of the government have not
taken as vigorous measures as they should to
compel the purchasers Of the property to COM
ply with the terms Of sale, and report will
be made from the committee, recommending
that more summary proceedings be instituted

MEssRs. EDIToRs. Would YOU oblige an
old subscriber, by giving place in your valua-
bic Journal to the following, which looks TO
saw the least. somewhat Inconsistent; and if
il be true that the present Legislature is COM
posed Of superior material as to intellect, this
superiority does not appear so far as morality
is concerned. Although the last Legislature
may have had some few members who INDUCED
rather too far, at times, yet | never heard,
neither DO believe they went into the whole
sale business by carrying bottles, but bought
their liquor 1T restaurants by retail like gentle
men. The article is from the pen of the cor
respondent of the Wheeling Register, and the
resolution fad in the house journal of the
18th inst, offered by Mr.. Spencer a delegate
from the county Of Wood
The Legislature itself is, in every respect,
a better one than the State has had for a long
time,-and may 90 farther and say that it is
probably the best that has ever convened in
W. Virginia. \ large majority of the mem
bers of each House are men Of high standing
and irreproachable character, and their con-
duct is uuexceptionaJle. They look as though
they meant business and were qualified to do
H. and believe that the events will Justify
the expectation of the people of the State in
this regard
On motion of Mr.. Spencer,
Resolced, That the use of ardent spirits by
any member of this House atany time is great
ly deplored but that the use of Intoxicating
liquors in the Hall of this House or in the
committee rooms; the display Of bottles con-
tanning such liquors. the act Of publicly drink
ing such liquors, is not only uubecoming the
dignity of this House, but actually insulting
to its members, aud persons hereafter offending
in such particulars should be deemed guilty Of
contempt
