When that “old rotten free school
vyetam" was 6rut set on foot, and
the good people of Paaain county
were informed that they must either
sand their ohiidren to school four
months in'tbe year or pay a heavy
fine, a general murmur went up all
over the land. It wu bad enough
to have to pay the tpxaa to support
the public schools, but to be forced
to send our children to teachers such

system, and such as Stobaugh would
appoint, why (hat was simply—orfuV

under a taacher selected and ap-
pointed by that “RadicalsCuss,” A.
G. Stobaugh—that was too dreadful
to think of I Democrats everywhere
were down on it, and many Radicals
thought the law-makers might just
as well have left the people free to
send their children to any kind of
school they should prefer, And
even the Supervisor of Public
Schools, Mr. Augustus Stobaugh,
himself—thst complex, compressed
coinpund of superlative Radiant—in
his Annual Report to Superintend-
ent DeGreas, requested that that
portion of the school law which im-
posed a penalty upon all who foiled
to send to school, should not be
enforced!

newspapers that hav* “ rise* to

late Radical candidate tor Governor,
one Kellogg, became suspicious, fur
at least seemingly so, that the then
Governor, (Wormoth) who is a Lit*
eml, and his friends In the Legisla-
ture would manipulate the election
returns; and so sued out an injunction
in the Faderal court of the State,
restraining Warmoth from the per-
formance of said* duty. At the
same time the old Legislature, for a
Id Legii
similar reason, passed resolutions of
impeachment, and Lieut. Governor
Pinchbook, a negro, was pInsod la
Warmoth’s place in the gubernato-
rial chair. Warmoth would not rec-
ognise the action of either the court
or»the Legislature,
the former had no '
tha official acts of aState officer,
that the latter only desired to '/at
possession of the election returns,
that Radical candidates who rare
not elected might be counted' into
office. He also procured an func-
tion from the Dhrtrict oeinirt retrain-’
ing Pinchbeck from "efltqf upon
the State house or other Woperty,
or endeavoring to sot as (governor
in his (Warmedh’s) stead. The Fed-
eral troops, op duty at Nte Orleans,
were called to the aid of Pinchbeck
and the revolutionary fad ion of the
Legislature that sustain*) him, and
thepeopls of Louisiata wera ap-
pealed toby Warmoth to stand by
their lawful Governor and that por-

him, and aid them in maintaining
