SHAMEFUL NEGLECT.

The most lamentable statement VIC
have seen during the year, outside loI
yellow fever mortuary reports, is this
n from New York: 1.-TWO thousand
three hundred and eighty children hays
been turned away since the opening o.
the schools this season, because there
was no room Tor them.n
s,lti - not drawing 1t too strong to say
that the controllers of schools in New
York city are guilty Of an intolerablc
act that opportunities crime. 1t is a
sin Of omission that deserves the sever
est censure. One Of the fundamental
principles Of a republican form of gov
eminent is that the state owes its citi-
2srs an education. 1T owes them an
education because self-preseryation is
its first and paramount duty. And in
no way can that best be subseryedt than
by enllghtening and cultivating its
component parts Therefore when the
school controllers of New York fail to
provide for the education Of the youth
Of that city they not only neglect an
important duty, but they render void
animplied contract that is more sacred
than tons of parchment, and gaudy
seals. Suppose it were possible for
these 1850 children to be deprived Of
any further education whatsoever, BY
reason of the improvidence Of the
pbcol authorities. How could they
consistently be called upon to support,
with their LIES blood, a government
that ignored its holiest duty to themY
There are reciprocal duties on the part
o fboth state and people, and It is a
burning shame that the state should be
frstto rspqdiate9 9fNhliG
It's plain, however, that the neglect
OF the New York school controllers
consisted in not charging the school
building to provide for the eyer increas-
ing population. This proves their in
competence, which is the strongest ar
gumentf for their removal Compare,
if yop please the Statement published
in the LEADER this week about the
schools of Italy-Italy, the paradise of
music murderers and lazzaroni; the
haunt Of the brigand and assassin; the
home of~the- idle and vicious,-and
what do we find? Why, that Italy has
ordained compulsory education. Any
thing else? Yes; compulsory educa-
tion involved the erection of 1900 new
school houses and the enl argement of
10000 old ones. This, mark YOU. il

commonly supposed to be ~slumberinp

Idea of renting rooms outside of the

to have suggesteds its6lf TO 1.-The New
Workers. They are therefore highly
incompetent or, what is worse, knaves.
we would remark, in conclusion, that
It were wiser for those worthless to pro-.

greater admiration for his unim- peachable purity of character, yet we cannot join the Immigrant in putting Judge Mansfield forward for the U. $. Senate We think the Immigrant unwise and inconyiderate in bringing forward his name at this time. With two candidates from this section of the State, both of whom have many warm admirers it will only tend to cut off all chance for either Walker or Mansfield, to thus divide the support of the North west between them. We already have a candidate in the field from the Northwest, in the person of Hon. J. D. Walker, who is the peer in all respects of any gentlemen aspiring to the position. He now has bright prospects of being the successful man, and with the UNDIVIDED sup port of the Northwest, HE WILL BE OUR NEXT U. 5. SENATOR; but with both Mansfield and himself contend ing for the support of the same sec tion of the State, defeat will be cer- tam to both of them. For this req son we are opposed to bringing for ward any other man from the North west, and we entreat the editor of of the Immigrant to reconsider his action and to fall in and help elect Walker.

SOBER MEN FOR OFFICE.

Let this be the motto of the peo pie: Sober men for office. And let them see to it that no man who is incorporate is placed in an official position. From the most humble office In the land up to the exalted position of Member of Congress, U, S. Senator or President thIs should be watched closely, and no man who is addicted to the use of intoxicating drinks to such an extent as to be. come drunk should be chosen. It is dangerous to trust business to an in toxicated man. It is disgraeefuf to see such scenes as are often witness ed in Congress caused by men made drunk and converted into fools by strong drink.
 Let the young generation of boys who are now growing up, and who will soon take the places of our pres ent leaders in politics and society know and understand that it is ar insurmountable disqualification te any office of trust or profit to get "tight."

THE ROADS.

In 1868 Gov. Morton, of Indiana, who had been visiting Hot Springs, stopped in this city, and while here made speech from the balcony of the old Commercial hotel. During his speech he declared that Arkan- sas had the worst roads in the Unit ed States. He was suffering from rheumatism, and had just come over the wagon road between this city and Hot Springs.
 Ten years have gone by sincs that speech was made and if Arkansas roads are any bettet to-day than they were then we are badly mistaken. As rule our roads are disgrace to the state and her people. While we have no practical suggestions to make on the subject, it is certain that omething should be done by the next legislature which will re- suit in giving us good roads. The present law must be defective, or of ficials derelict in It's enforcement. We advlse the people of the counties to vote for no man for the legislature who will not agree to do his best to- ward the enactment of an efficient road law, one which will give the country decent roads.-L. k. Demo- crat.
 We think if the present road law was rigidly enforced we might have better highways than we. have, but we are of the opinion that there should be an entire change in the law. The best plan we believe to be is to levy tax for the special pur- pose of roads. The enforcement of the present law, we think, is oppres- sive, and as all other public burdens are apportioned among the people Tn proportion to their tax assessment, why not have this matter fixed hkc- wise.

Those who do their business at Russellyille-and the majority of the people of the county do-will then be enabled to transact any bus mess they may have with the Clerk, Treasurer, or Sheriff, without mak- ing special trip to town winch will require days time, without having any other business there. There are more people living within ten miles of Russellyille than there are within the same distance of any town in the County, and they feel that their convenience is of as much importance as the convenience of those few Comparatively speaklng) who constitute the inhabitants of the sparsely settled northern part of the County.

Pacific Railroads.

Among the last acts of congress was the passage of the law creating Board of Railroad Commissioners charged with the duty of lnvestiga- ting the cost and present condition of each of the roads named in the acts of 1862 and 1864, extending aid to the Union Pacific and other reads, They are also to examine and re- port upon the relations of tae sever al roads to each other III regard to operating, and to ascertain all facts necessary to show Congress what fur thcr legislation is needed to secure the rights of lhe several companies and these of the public and the gov ernmep... There was passed a bill reported by Senator Thurman, estab. fishing the same rule fer the Kansas Pacific road as was covered by the Sinking Fund bill relating to the Union and the Central Pacific, the only difference being the annual pay ment by the Kansas Pacific road as covered by the Sinking Fund bill relating to the Union and the Central Pacific, the only difference being that the annual payment by the Kan sas Pacific Company is fixed at $300,000.
 An Auditor of Railroad Accounts has also been apointed, Mir. Theoph illus French, as the head of a new bureau in the Interior Department. It is his duty, under the direction of the Secetary of the Interior to pre- scribe system of reports to be rendered by subsidized and land- grant railroads whose roads are in whole or part west, north or south of the Missouri river; to examine the books and accounts of said rail- roads once year and at such other times as may be deemed necessary to verify their reports; to assist the government directors in all matters that come under their cognizance when requested to do so; to see that the laws relating to said railroad companies arc enforced; to fur nish such information to the several departments of the government in regards to tariffs for freight and pas sengcrs as may be required or deem ed expedient, and to render report to the Secretary of the interior on the accounts, affairs, condition, &c., ot said railroads for each fiscal year,

HON. THOMAS ESSEX.

The Democrats of tic 10th senate rial district, composed of the coun- ties of Pulaski and Perry, have nom mated Hon. Thomas Essex as one oi the senators, and in making this SC lection they have acted wisely, an paid just tribute to a worthy clti- zen.
 Col. Essex is an experienced legls- lator and man of ability. In addi- tion to this he has contributed more towards setting up our state with settling up our state with muscle and brains than any man in Arkan- sas. In his position as land commis- sioner of the St Louis, Iron Noun tain and Southern railroad, he has brought excursionists here who have examined our country, and who have not only settled themselves, but in duced others to come. We believe in rewarding merit, and the Democrats of the 10th district have set an eX- ample worthy of emulation by the party throughout the State. We congratulate the Democracy there on the selection they have made, aud trust the people will see to their in terests by electing Col. Essex by an overwhelming majori.y.-Prescott Dlspatbh.

Bob Johnson $ Organ on the Sen-
 atOrship.

 From the Fayetteville Scntinel.l
 The Gazette, the personal organ of Robert w. Johnson, has suddenly turned herself loose on the north : west; for what reason we cannot i'm agine, unless it be that Bob John son sees in the cordial reception giv- en Hon. J. D. Walker in the partial canvass he has made in the north east, that inevitable defeat awaits him. To forestall public sentiment that is so certain to greet Judge Walker wherever he may go, the old time demegogues in charge of the personal organ are seeking first to array Judge Mansfield, Ben T. Du- Val and the other aspirants in this section for position on the state tick ct, against Judge Walker; and, sec ondly, to prejudice all the balance of the state against what it terms the great Northwest and make the issue a sectional one. Upon this subject we beg to remind our contemporary that the Sentinel, which we believe was the first papea to mention Judge Walker in connection with the high position of United States senator, ex- pressly disclaimed any claim of To. cality, but based his candidacy upon the broad ground of ability and the eminent fitness for the position. We did this without having any ref erence to Col. Johnson, because at that time he was not expected that he would return to become candi- date, nor that the Gazette would change hands to become his person. al organ, nor his praises be chaunted by his ancient enemy, T. c. Peek. But poliets and self interest bring woaderous changes!
 We are still on the same plank in our platform and propose to remanl there, notwithstanding these chang es. That the Gazette may under stand us, we maintain, as between Judge Walker and Col. Johnson, that IS to the interest of thls state to elect the former, decause of superior ability and fitness for the position, because he ls in full flush of man
