The Lill to establish a system of national eduenticn, introduced Into the House of Rep- resentati ves at its last asion by Mr, Qronce Fiusnie Hoar of Massachusetts, is again up for consideration, and ite discussion is set own for the third Tnesday of January. If the Honse has an adequate appreciation of ite duty to the country, the debate on the bill will be brief, and its rejection overwhelming. The sum and eulstance of the project is this: The President is to appoint for each Btate, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, a State superintendent of na- tional schools, at a salary of $9,000 per annum, Each of these evperintendoue fs to divide his State into many divisions as the Siote has represontatives in Congress, and the Secretary of the Interior is to appoint an inspector of each division at @ salary of $2,000 per annum, Each of these divisions Is to be again divided into school districts, and the Secretary of the Inter or isto appoint in each one a local superintendent, who is to receive 43 per day for the time actually em. ployed in the duties of his office. The State super ntend. nt is todireet how many schools shall be kept in each district, and the local sup rintendent, with the approval of the Stal Superintendent, is to hire or build the achool houses, There are provisions for tking Property for school parposes where none muitalle can be had by voluntary con troct, and for furnishing boche gra baitously to chil re wuo aro unable to pay for them. The «um of $50,000,000 is directed to be co'locted by a dircet tax upon the several States, to carry out the prov sions of the bill ; but if it be Proved to the eatisfuction of the President that any State irs a system of common schools which provides reasonably for all the children therein, the collection of the tax and the appointment of officers in that State shall Le gus, ended The chy f print that strikes us in thie wheme '# the immense patror age it proposes bo place at the disposition of the United Btates Gi vernment, and the enormous ex penditure it will nvolve.

There is no guarantee o! thie moderation, The whole thing is left to the judgment of the President, and tuere is nothing to prevent him from declaring that Masachus tts anl Now York, for example fo not provide reasonably for the cbildren therein, and in consequence taking their ays tems of public education into his own hands. And even as to those Btates which have no pretence cf common schools, by what r.ght does Congress meddle in the matter? The General Government was not ordained for any such py rpose, and for it to attempt it is the grossest usurpation, Let the bill be killed as soon as possible, aud buried for tygr, ee fhe Stupidest Man in New York. In the early part of tho present century there lived in Newburyport, Mass, an ec. ventric genius named Dexren—Lord Tio. tiy DexTER he styled himvelf—who, accord to local tradition, made a largo fortune ay shipping warming-pans and red woollen tape to the West Indies, The venture was > Groat success, as the warming-pans attaine| watant popularity as molasses ladles, while All Lue negroes who were able to sport the rod woollen capa considercd themssives Ireased in the height of fashion, After Lord Timoriry became rich he thought it necessary to do something for the encouragement of art, and 80 he em ployed 8 ship carpenter to carve him woode: mages of all the Presidents; and these, which were fearfully and wonderfully made, and painted in gorgeous colors, he placed in tongp cious postions about Lia house aad grounds, Several of the woc 1 monsters were to be seen perehed upon the portico of Dexten’s hoase a few years ago, and if thi building is still in existences may b+ seen there yet, Some individual, with artietle appreciation of about the same onter as that displayed hy Lord ‘Posoriy Dexrer, mast have great Influence with the Department of Public Parks, if it is trae that a change in the pian of the Central Park has beon determ ned on for the purpose of introducing buildings for snimale upon the beautiful lawns known n the “Meadows.” These meadow strotchrs wnatitute the onty broad apace of quiet aril Fround on the island which Las been left un.

Ik would be interesting to learn the rea- sone for the proposed change in the location of the gardens, and whose interests are to be served by the measure. Above all, it would be pleasing to know who was the originator of the proposition, in order that the public may understand who it is that can lay claim to the eminent distinction of Loing the stupidest man in Now York. ——— Alas!

The Richmond Keening News bolily de nies that the jury was packed before which FORGK CHAMHOON was tried in October lasi n Richmond upon @ trumped-up charze of orgery, for the purposs of convicting ind destroying him. It says that “ex treme caution and care were taken in ac ecting this jury, and some five huadrod men were suum ned before a competent, im partial, and uneseeptionable venir was ob tained.” But the truth of this matter does not bear ont any such assertion, ‘The members of this jury were all Demo. crate of the rankest kind, and there was not a engle Republican among them, Two hundred and ninety-six men were summoned —not five hundred—efore the jury was im- panelled; and of this whole number, two hundred and ninety-four were Democrats vnd only two Republicans, and {t was well known beforehand that these two were in competeut to serve, from having expressed opinions upon the case before they wer: summoned. ‘These facts dispose forever of the allegation of the Evening News that this was intended to be a fair and im- partial jury.
