THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The STATESMAN predicted that
the adoption Of the proposition TO
change the management of the
schools in Austin from that laid
down in the general state law, pIac-
ing Them under the care of three To-
cal trustees for every school COM
munity, would open the way for the
exercise of some miserable little po-
litical ring influence, and the So
called meeting the other day proved
the fact. The candidates selected at
the court house meeting for the six
municipal trustees are almost TO a
man representatives ofa class OF pol
iticians. who are bnt poorly, If at all.
interested in the proper conduct of
schools, and who have but little. and
some of them not = single qualifiea-
ton for school trustees. II the
proposition considered At the court
house had been, how can the most
damage bedone school management
in the city of Austin, the ends ac-
complished on that occasion would
have befitted such proposition. and
yet there are. none to blame
more for this result than the very
people who should take most active
interest in such a matter. We had
thought that such inactivity de-
served silent contempt, which the
STATESMAN has shown for such
inaetion. but il is not these drones.

GEN. WALKER is Investigating the
charges of census frauds in South
Carolina, and he proposes To i'm
peach either the census of 1870 or
that of 1850. and is of the belief that
the former census viii he found to
be incorrect. For purposes of inves-
tigation the description of every
family has been placed ON separate
card. ~'rhesc families says Gen
Walker, : can, in the main. be iden-
titled. although there are many
changes in families in the decade be-
tween two ecnsHSes- Ii we find in
Marlborough county or any other
county of the state 1000 families
returned in the census OF 1860
and that Of 1850, and omitted that
Of 1870. we shall conclude that the
census of 1870 was defective. The
and assistant marshals who
took the census Of 1870 were politi-
cal appointccs, many Of them col
orcd men. and there is too much
reason 10 suppose that some ofthem
turned over their work to mean
whites OF more clerical ability and
went shares on the pay. Township
divisions were not then recognized,
and it is highly probable that the
many ennmerators did not know
where their county stopped and an
ether hegan.p

KEEPING THE RECORD.

And now comes the Examiner,
and says, in reply to one of the
STATEsMAN's roundelays, that the
"influence of Senator Coke was one
of the most effective agencies which
led Gen. Robertson to decline
Gen. II. says il was because at this
late day in the canvass he could not
win. We have known that Senator
Coke's influence over Gen. r. was
powerful" and hence could not
suppose that the latter would even
think of running, against the incli-
nation of the Senator. Sometime
ago Greepbacker said. through the
Galveston NetoS. that if Coke would
go on and behave as he has behaved
he might count upon the anthem
ocratic vote in the eighteenth !egis-
lature, and therefore the STATES
MAN was not at all presumptious in
supposing what il did as to the cam
didacy of Gen. r., and the friendly
help which could be given by him to
Senator Coke at n time when hewill
need help. 1t is apparent enough
that the Senator covets the support
of Independents, and Gen. r. stands
where he may help him in securing
their aid There was no earthly
chance for Gen. Robertson in this
gubernatorial canvass. Had ii been
otherwise, and had his chances been
good, would the powerful influence
have heen exerted against his candi-
dacy? We want to Keep up with the
standing of Democrats, and especi-
ally with that of our distinguished
Junior Senator. at Washington.

The Telephone is referred 10 the
Galveston Christian AdcOcdte for
personal information as to its per-
sonaI charges against state officers.
Ii is not the business of the STATES
MAN to look into such personal
charges, especially when it knows
even the ferreting correspondent of
the Christian AdeOcdte occasionally,
and especially when at Austin, gets
into that condition in which man
becomes irresponsible for both acts
and expressions.

If the report be true that the state
has been compelled to pay in The
last four years 100000 to attorneys
for service that should have been
performed by officers elected to
take care of the states interests, a
change in the judiciary system is
the more imperative. If the COVER
nor he held responsible for the fail
ure of legal officers TO perform du-
ties, then he should have the right,
ifnotto appoint, AT least to remove.
We believe in his power TO do both
these things. But the statement is
untrue. and was sci going by Repub-
lican L. S. Attorney Evans, for cam
paign purposes. The fact is, not
$4,000 has been spent for the pur-
poses charged, and the state has
thereby saved and secured many
times this sum of money.

The SEVENTEEN anniversary of the
freedom of Mexico from Spanish
rule, the Express tells us, has been
celebrated at San Antonio by its
Mexican population. The festivities
of this fete begin, in MeNico, at the
hour of the night when Hidalgo
Castillo sounded the tOcsin that
aroused men to arms, and which in
spired them with patriotism and
urged them on TO liberty and indie
pendence. .'Iir0 MGico; q NueS-

cry which set in motion the ball of

ownership of railroads, and the Ger
man government is about to issue
sufficient 5 per cent. consols TO buy
up the private railroads of the En-
pire. Out of nearly 10000 miles of

iuced. The same is true in Belgium.
and to some extent i'm France, and

examples win be followed until all
the railroads Of Europe are under
government control
