THE EDUCATION BILL.
THE GOVERNOR vEToEs IT AMI GIVES
HIS REASONS.

| After a careful examination OF
House bill No. 235, l feel cons,raiu
ed to withhold my approval for the
following among other reasons: :
In the matter Of text books, sec
ton second, the responsibility is SO
complicated tsat there appears TO he
no guarantee for change of bucks
when such changes are desirable,
and no security against frequent
changes after the close of the pres
ent scholastic year; no time being
specified for the use of the new ho6ks
after those now in use Shall have
been superseded.
Section 4, the Board Of S.I,oo, Di
rectors for the city of New Orleans is
to be composed of fifteen members.
We have in this city fifty six public
schools, 430 teachers and about
$4,000 pupils in actual attendance.
The city contains seventeen wards
with important schools in each. As
the number of directors will be less
than the number of wards, and Il
there is no provision for tie appoint
ment of local trustees or ward suncr
visors, the board will not be large
enough for an effic ert charge of the
schools, nor will there be a proper re
presentation of all the tax-pa, ing
portion of the city.
Section s, the legal quorum for the
transaction of business, eight mem
bers, is too small to represent all the
interests of the city schools. As six
of these members may be appointees
of the State Superintendent the cit,
government may be virtually exclu
ded from ali influence in the admin.

We have nothing to say about the
gentlemen who have been chosen
But we do say that the Convention
should not have allowed itself TO be
played upon SO hareiacedly as to per

Convention in submitting to such
Juggling failed to represent the sen
timents aud the wishes Of the Demo
cratic party of Louisiana, who be
lieve that the presence of Generals
Nichols and York among the dele
CATION, would have reflected credit
upon the State.
This ought to be a lesson for the
future and the people of the Parishes
should be careful as TO whom they
send to represent them, so that men
of putty are not given into the hands
Of schemers to be moulded according
to their designs.
AS far as New Orleans is concern

ting their manhood by going to the
polls on election days and attending
the party primaries, in order to Sc
lect their worthiest representatives,
content themselves by growing and
organizing petty factions, whilst
they abandon the control of the Dem
ocrat party in the hands of the men
of whom they have frequent reasons
to complain. Therefore, the people
Of the country cannot look for aid
from that quarter. They must puri-
fly the party themselves. The prin
ciples of Democracy are dear to our
heart, and nothing that can happen
will drive US from it's ranks. While
adhering steadfastly to the regular
organization and having sometimes
to submit to imposition, we will la
Dor assiduously to elevate from with
in the party those men who are best
to our respect and confidence.
Let the Democracy throughout the
State take the determination TO weed
out the INSCRIPTIONS political buck
sters, who dream of self, and self
alone.
1t is not by keeping silent over
these matters that the supremacy of
The Democratic party can be main
aimed, but on the contrary by strik-

bringing its name into disrepute.
In word. We believe in fighting
he enemies of Democracy, the
wolves in sheep clothing within, as
we'll as those who are from without.
Common decency has been out
aged long enough, and the Demo-
ratio horse has been ridden so

If life were never bitter
And love were always sweet,
Then who would care to borrow
A moral from Tomorrow
If Thames would always glitter
And JOY would ne'er retreat,
If life were never bitter
And love were always sweet.
If care were not the waiter
Behind a fellows chair,
When easy-going sinners
Sit down to Richmond dinners,
And life's sweet stream flows straightel
BY Jove. it would be rare,
If care were not the waiter
Behind fellows chair.
If wit were always radiant
And wines were always iced,
And bores were kicked out straightway
Through convenient gateway;
Then down the years long gradient
'Twere sad to be enticed,
If vic We're always radiant
And wine were always iced.

Orders to the undersigned, pending the litigation
in the United States Supreme Court. the Third
Assistant Postmaster General has seen fit, IN the
absence Of his superi5rs to set aside said order.
The grounds upon which he ju,tifes this action
are that all lotteries in Kentucky have been re.
pesled, and are therefore illegal, and being ile-
gal, are necessarily fraudulent, when in fact the
franchise under which this Company draws,
asnlikc that of tho Louisiana Lottery Company,
