General Anderson, member of the
Returning Board, stated that there was
no objection to DR.. Kennedy becoming a
member ofthe Board because he was not
a gentleman, but because the members
did not approve ofhis appointment. Wit

many affidavits charging intimidation
and fraudulence were sworn to in New
Orleans, But the majority were sworn
to outside that city.
Witness was asked, do you mean to say
that in every instance where vote was
rejected, the return, when you obtained
possession of it, contained either the
statement of the suspension of elections,
that there had been intimidation, or an
affidavit to that effect?
Answer-Yes, where there had been in
timidation, or fraud, or some illegal prac-
tice. These statements and affidavits,
he believed, were in the Office of the Sec

POLITICS AND EDUCATION,

1t is the bane of the County Super
intendency system in this State that it
is more OF less closely connected with
party politics. Men are not selected
for the Office because of their fitness,
but because they can get votes for
their party candidates or for some
other equally irrelevant purpose. The
question is not "WhO is the best man,
and what action can we take that will
conduce to the highest interests of our
schO0lY but "Who is the most availa-
ble?" "Is he a good straight Republi-
CAM" us he COED straight Demo
craft" The county superintendency
has never been as popular in this
State Us it ought to be, because it has
been left in the hands of incompetents
and politicians.
1t is high time that sensible men and
especially parents and teachers should
come to look upon the Office of the
county superintendent as having no
political significance whatever. 1t is
high time that the person best fitted
for the Office should be chosen without
reference to party, religion OF sex. The
best county superintendent in the
State to-day is q 2D0D2071; and her fear
lessDess in pursuing the course she
deems to be right, her fidelity to the
trust imposed upon her, and her mark
ed efficiency ought to put to blush a
score Of political superlluities who dis
grace the Office in other counties, but
who are not to blame for being there
They did not elect themselves. They
were chosen by the dominant party
and chosen simply for party purposes
Is it any wonder that the present sys
TEN Of supervision of schools is count
ed almost a failure?
What is true Of county supervision
is also true Of State supervision. Mer
are nominated, not because Of theil
fitness, not because they are intelli
gent, thoughtful, conscientious, care
full candid mn, not because they have
been tried andfound true, butbecause OF
their political influence. This is al
wrong, and the entire system, 50 far as
it effects schools and those who care
for our schools ought to be ignored by
teachers at least. Politics and educa
ton seem to have very little in com
anon at the present day.

General Jnmes H. Wilson's recent
article upon the capture Of Jefferson
Davis called forth a long letter from
John II. Raglan, Of Texas, in which he
denied that the fugitive President at
tempted to escape in disguise, and al
legged that the only foundation for the
story was the fact that Mrs. Davis
threw q water proof over her hus-
bands shoulders when he emerged
from his tent. Julian G.. Dickinson
who. as Adjutant of the Fourth Mich
gan Cavalry, took part in the arrest OF
Mr. Davis, sends to the Detroit Trib-
une point-blank contradiction of MI
Ragan's account. he says that after
the camp had been surrounded, Private
Andrew Bee, of Company l., pointed
out to him three persons dressed in
female apparel, and called out, "Adju-
tant, there goes q man dressed in
woman'3 clothes" The Adjutant start

he will support Hon. VIM. e. Smith
