was formerly" writes q correspondent of
the New York Tribune, " q warm advocate of
the free school system, but my views have un-
dergope radical change. Argue about it as
We may, the system is q gross ipjustice to the
Catholics. The relations of the teacher and
scholar is far too sacred and delicate to be left
to the manipulations Of coarse and selfish
politicians. / have studied the system ortiz
cslly for twenty-five years, and during that
time have seen 80 many unworthy teachers
appointed and preferred, and so many good
ones discouraged and driven from the profes-
sion, that l am well nigh disgusted with the
whole thing. There are probably, in round
numbers, 100 900 teachers in the United States.
The Office is essentially political one. All the
politicians want is to appoint their friends and
favorites to these places erect the school build
ings, dictate the books, the course Of study-in
short all the details; thus degrading the
teacher to q mere machine. One can readily
imagine how this army of officials, dependent
upon q corrupt administration, might become q
most formidable engine of injustice and oppres-
sion. To assist poor people in the education of
their children is praiseworthy, but for the State
to attempt to give liberal education to all it's
children is too great tack. That we have too
little education is self evident, but we shall
never get it in this country by compulsion.
There is no reason why parents who are able
should not provide for the education of their
children the same ss for their food and clothing.
There is no justice in compelling others to do it
for them"

E R. Kennedy. Esq
My Dear Sri thank you for the compliment
conveyed in your nose of the goth, and regret
that proposed trip to California prevents my
being in Brooklyn on the day you name. or
course au pleased to note the honor in which
you hold the national emblems which we
followed to the sea, and that you num- Der among
your members some of the men who composed
that army. I feel every possible interest in
the honor and glory of our National Govern
ment but trust you will not use my name in
any party connection. 1 must not be parti-
san, because have chosen to dedicate my few
remaining years to my profession, which is en-
lnently national. Leaving every citizen free
to choose his own course in life, and to ally his
civil fortunes to any of the parties into which
q free people always divide for the varied in
serests that alwaysd do arise, with great respect,

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter- Ocean,
the leading Radical paper of the West, has m
terviewed Gov. Hays most in innate friend u pom
the subject OF cabinet officers in case the Rs-
dical party is successful in the November cleo
tiops. The report of the interview from which
we give an extract below, shows exactly what
the South may expect if Hayes succeeds Grant: /:
Well, if Gov. Hayes is elected he will offsr
Blaine the choice of Cabinet positions"
Good. But will Blaine accept"
Something depends upon whether he shall
be elected Senator next winter. AS the thing
looks now nothing stands in his way. If elected
for q term of six years he might hesitate g before
resigning to accept place of so much uncer-
tainty as Cabinet position. If he concludes
to do so, IN my opinion he would choose the
place of Secretary of State, which is nominally
the chief offioe under the President, though
really the TreasurysEip ia the more important.
The former thoe, however, is more in conson-
snce with his Tastes"
"Who will be Seoretary< of the Treasury in
the event of Blaine declining q Cabinet posi-
tioni'
Morrill, may continue, though it is not i'm
probable that the place will be offered to Conk-
ling. Hayes is very generous, and be will fol-
low the example of Lrcoln in calling about
him as advisers his chief competitors in the
ling will accept If be does not IT. is not i'm
possible that Rristow will he offered the place,
though this is by no means certain
"How about Morton ~
Morton can be Secretary Of War, or, if he
chooses. Minister to England. The latter place
was offered him once by Grant, and he would
have taken it had it not been for the critical
situation in which his acceptance would have
left the Senatorial question in Indiana Now,
if the State elects Republican Legislature,
so that there would be no question as to his
having Republican successor be might be
glad to 60 abroad for a few years. In case of !
foreign or domestic brois, though, there would |
be nobody like Morton in the War Office, and |
Gov. Hayes has q very exalted idea of the SEN |

SPANISH SECRET HISTORY.

ALPHoNso XII SURROUNDED By HIS RNEMIEs.
A gentleman in this city has just received letter
from friend in Paris ono fully conversant with the
iutriguos OF Spanish politics, from which the following
Is quotcd:-
An important memorial. intended to throw light
upon tho restoration OF Alphonso Kill King Spain
is being prepared with great secrecy 10 Paris The
volume which have by chance learned, shows by
indspuable proof that many OF the Spanish generals
who to-day ngurc lawning before tho throne Of the
monarch, and who arc receiving his gifts, not only
have not contributed to his resto alton. but have
openly opposed him. Its shots are aimed principally
at General Jovellar, tho present Governor of tho
Spanish Antilles, exhibiting HIM by historical and
seemingly unnpeachabo data as the forced hero
OF the Aphonso movement Tho documents In
proof are all etched IN ac,sime, so that
their authenticity may not be denied upon
comparison OF signatures. The first given Is the
telegram from General Jovellar to the Duke De Ia
Torre who, tho writer has been Informed, assured
him he would defeat General Martinez Campos, and
inviting him warmly come with twenty bat
talions smother tho monarchicai insurrection.
Among some OF the most important documents are the
ioiowing:-"A report OF the interview OF The Junta
OF restoration generals with Colonel Veasco Jovellars
adiutant Jovellar refusing his concurrence the
movement and sending his adjuant for that purpose
sworn account OF the chiefs and officers the bat
taiops that formed the Dabau brigade, who declared
General Joveilar the drst revolutonist and enemy OF
the present king, pcdping himself to pronounce in
favor OF Namascdas orders or the person he might
delegate; the Plaza orders. published by General
Jovear, he being military Governor of Madrii nj the

brought light by colonel Of one OF the battalons

now anary with General Joveilar for promoting Colonel
