Interest in the Schools.

charged that the people of this
Stato have always been opposed to
popular education, and ono of the
proofs pretended to be adduced is
that they took no part in helping
along the free common schools
established by the Radical govern
ment. It must bo adulitted that
there was grent want of interest
in tho FREQ schools, but VIC need not
go far to find most excellent
reasons for this. In the first place
tho hcad-contro of the. system was
Mr.. Jillson, an unknown carpet
baggcr, quito as much intent upon
making money as upon a faithful
performance Of his duties. Then
the school comlnissioners-a pretty
set of fools they generally were.
Leaving out tho Democratic coun-
ties, and perhaps ono or two others,
these commissioners were totally
unfit, not only in educational quail
tications but in moral character.
Many of them were preacher
politicians, like the Reverend
Dublin Walker of Chester, and were
Of course odious to decent people.
The character of the school CON-
missioner has very much to do
with tho character of tho schools
'themselvos. Ho must have the
cooperation of the good people of
tho community, and this he cannot
havo if he is wanting in either moral
or educational requisites. This
was the chief difficulty under Radi~
cal rule. Now that it has been to
n very large oxtont removed, thorc
is more induccment for our people
to do their share; and they arc
doing it. Everywhere wo hear Of
increased interest in tho common
schools and increased efforts to
mako them success. Tho school
commissioners are of greater
fitness for their duties. The State
superintendent is in every way the
right man in the right place.
Undor his supervision, and with the
attention given by the commission
ers, the schools are bound to i'm.
prove. The irregularities common
in the past have been stopped.
Teachers are required to pass moro
rigid examinations. Trustees arc
looking moro closely after the
schools in their respective districts.
Above all, there is a growing con-
viction on the part Of our people
that a perfect system of FREQ com
mon schools is a necessity. OF
course, the want Of funds has pro.
vented tho running of the schools
in many counties. But to koop
thom temporarily closed is very
wise measure. It is better to GO
oil old scores first sottlcd, and the,
make new start with q clear
record. This is the view of on
county school commission and h,
has carried it out with the bes
results. When the proper tim
arrives, with the requisite means q
hand, the schools will oil DO put j,
operation. Then we may expect t,
see at least some of tho good fruit
OF the system, In tho meantime,
ls cortain that tho interest alread
taken by the taxpayers will con
stantly increase, and with that IL,
crease the schools must improve
In Fairfield especially, we thinl
there is an active interest in popula
education never known before
This at least is the opinion Of tn
county school commissioner and q
many others.

New YORK, Feb. 9--Wells and
Anderson, of the Louisiana return-
ing board, intend to apply to the
Supreme Court to morrow for writ
of habeas corpus. 1t is not believed
it will be granted, because their
contempt has not been certified to
the Court by the Speaker.
The Tribune editorially says: "The
decision of the tripartite commits
sion is great victory for the friends
OF Hayes: masked, however, in snch
a way that the Democrats feign to
regard it as not quite crushing to
Tilden. The testimony
which Field has b5en trying to
smuggle into the courtroom falls to
the ground; the bullying of witnes-
ses have been in vain. Littlefield
and Maddox have lied for nothing.
Wells ceases to b. an object of in
terest. and Tilden's attorney from
the 7th district of New York exhib-
its himself to mankind as the noisiest
and most conspicuous failure of
Congress; for, ol course. all attempts
to impeach the vote of Louisiana

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The Elec-
toral Commission this evening, by Il
vote Of eight again seven. decided
that the four electoral votes of Flor

this effect was signed at $40 P NJ.
by Bradley. Miller. Strong. Ed

The Electoral Commissions final
decision Of the Florida case this
evening. and the far reaching
grounds on which it is based, have
fully verified the recent predictions
of the Republicans, aud seems
strongly to Justify their confident
expectation Of the ultimate declara-
ton of the election of Hayes and
Wheeler. Very few Democrats can
be found tonight in Washington
who anticipate a contrary result,
but some of the most sanguine still
claim that the election will be thrown
into the House by the rejection of
the vote from Oregon.

THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WoRm.

Poor, foolish worm! if he had lain
Snug in his earthly bed,
That early fowl had never made
A breakfast of his head,
At noon, no doubt, the bird had sought
Some distant forest bough;
And if the worm had slept till then,
He might have lived TIL now.
Take warning. early risers. all,
And heed the lesson taught:
The worm that lies in bed is safe
The EARLY WORM is caught.

Side-Saddles Discarded.

There are few traps for the fe-
male sex any more deadly than the
saddle, and no one of any sense
grieves at the decay of the mobile art
of horsemanship," as long as art can
not be practiced except at the immi-
nent risk of the ladies doing so.
English people are devoted horsemen,
and the ladies, as well as the men,
take the highest pleasure in gallop-
ing after the hounds. But recently
an English lady, who enjoys what is
considered an enviable fame for skill
and daring, in riding close to the
hounds, and who is also q pattern
wife and mother, has announced that
she will risk her life in no more rid
ing on q side-saddle, but in the next
season wili ride masculine fashion.
Her announcement has set the whole
fashionable world to talking, since
she is a woman of spirit, and it is be-
lieyed she will do as she says. IF she
does she will have followers without a
doubt, and it may be that this vii
inaugurate the'long-expected dress
evolution.

mainly ought not to govern us abso-
lutely in judging of such matters, it
is equally true that this principle
must have certain limits, if modern
civilization is to be considered any
thing more than an empty sound
There are certain atrocities which are
SO utterly inconsistent with the spirit
of our civilization that the aversion
they inspire must silence all other
considerations of interest or politics.
Nations which are capable of commit
ting or tolerating such atrocities
must forfeit the public sympathy Of
civilized communities; and the terrible
picture which Russian correspon-
dent of the highest order sends the
New York World of the conduct of
the Turkish troops in Bulgaria will

In DISCUSSING question of SO grea
political import as the present East
ern war it is but natual that the polit-
zeal and social interests involved in it
be taken into consideration by foreign
observers. The relative civilization
and morality of the parties engaged
in the strife do not ordinarily affect
foreign judgements of the issues at
stake. Nobody seriously doubts that
the Turkish Empire is a rapidly, de-
caying, demoralized social organiza-
ton, which cannot be of any value
whatever European civilization; that
the rule it exercises over it's Christian
subjects is, to say the least, Cypress
i've and inefficient, since it is unable
to preserve them from such dreadful
calamities as were the last Bulgarian
massacres. But On the other hand
the fall of Turkey and the rise of Rus
STA may interfere with certain politi-
cal and commercial interests. Rus
sia's growing power is deemed more
dangerous than the decay of Turkey;
and this alone silences all other CON
siderations. Turkey must be 81
fenced and Russia must be put down
at all costs. However, if it be true

The Foolish V0yagers.


The safe arrival in England, which
has been announced, of the twenty
foot schooner-rigged whaleboat New
Bedford, with Mr.. and Mrs. Grape on
board, only shows that foolhardy
enterprise has been successful, not
because of any element of success
which it had within itself, but because
of the absence of those disturbances
OF air and ocean which, if aroused, as
is often the case, might have destroy
ed the frail structure on it's first day
out from the American coast. Moth
ing but absurd egotism and ignorant
recklessness can lead to such adven-
lures. If navigation and science
could be advanced by such attempts,
if they benefited any interests of the
country, the hazard Of life might be
reasonably incurred, but no good is
obtained or even proposed by such
undertakings. Mr. and Mrs. Grape
have only the idea of shining before
posterity as two people who crossed
the Atlantic ocean in whaleboat,
and posterity will only be likely to
say how very absurd, and perhaps to
regret that they had not both been
shipwrecked and swallowed by
whales.

ton, who killed Bush ON Saturday.
Two of Bush's friends awaited the ne
gro on the road in order to arrest
him. The negro was attended by
several others, who fired on the
young men, killing a young man
named Storey. His friend, Kilpati
rick, seeing Storey down, tried to es-
cape, but was pursued and murdered
by them. 1t is thoanht Cotton kill
