The manner In which Lieutenant
Governor Simpson took possession
of tho Senate reflects great credit
upon him as presiding officer. He
manifested all tho courage md
;acuteness necessary to obtaining
complete control of that heretofore
refractory body. With him in tho
chair, Dublin Walker resigned and
Senator Cochran in sympathy with
tho Democrats, tho Senate will not
be q thorn In tho sido of tho
Democracy aftor all. That body is

his casting vote, will be supreme.

The Public Schools,

With tho:inauguration Of an hon
cost administration, the great promi-
nence heretofore accorded to purely
political questions will be given to
'other matters. Education claims
tho first consideration at tho hands
of the people. That thousands of
children are growing up in igno-
rance is fact, staring every one in
the face; and this evil, ifnot speedi-
ly'ohecked, will bo fruitful source
'unnumbered woes in the future.
Public sentiment is unanimous as to
the 'end, but some diversity of
opinion exists regarding tho means
OF its accomplishment. After care,
full consideration of the subject in
Its. different phases we arc led irro-
sistibly to tho conclusion that the
system of free schools, already in.
grated upon our constitution
affords tho simplest and most effica.
'olous means of.supplying this want.
That it has not proved success is
Observation-Disclosures to the system, but

which it is based. Radical leaders

children, a rich booty only, and thoy
proceeded to appropriate it to tbom-
solves without the least hesitation.
NV that the appropriation will be
honestly disbursed, the full benefits
OF tho systom can be realized. No
important change should be made
in the school law as it stands. 1t is
admirable, oven going to tho length
Of providing penalties for school
officials who neglect their duty
Tho ratification by the Legislature
Of the amendment to tho constitu-
tion adopted by tho people last
November, retaining in each county
tho money raised for educational
purposes, will remedy tho only
fragrant defect existing. This
cannot be done too soon, in order to
permit the school commissioner in
each county to estimate what funds
ho will control, in order that no
may know to what extent he can 90
in opening schools. Tho people of
Fairfield arc vitality Interested in the
amendment, as it will give this
county about eight thousand dollars
q year, instead of two thousand fvo
hundred, as heretofore.
In our opinion, our present
school commissioner is admirably
qualified to inaugurate successful
system of public schools here, as he
has had extensive experience in
other States in which free education
has been carried to perfection. Tho
confidence Of tho people is all that
is necessary, and this can be gained
in short time.
We trust the Legislature will not
Interfere with tho school law at all,
except to ratify the amendment
already spoken Of
