Likewise, the Democrats and Conservatives of Louisiana House have arraigned Governor Kellogg for impeach- ment.Jbefore the Senate. Proceed gentle men, reform is the order of the day. State Road.—rThe charges of bribery on the part of the State Road lessees have been shown to be unfounded. The investigations were conducted by Hon. H. D. McDaniel, Chairman, and Hon. C. S. DuBose, on the part of the Senate, and Hons. Tyler M. Peeples, A. H. Smith and P. Walsh, on the part of the House of Representatives. A PRACTICAL EDUCATION'. The Legislature of Massachusetts has passed a tall, and the Governor has signed It, which ordains that sewing shall be ope of the branches of public school education. The Boston Commercial Bulletin hails this new feature not ao mnch for what it author- ices, but what it promises, and adds: "It is to be hoped that this is the inauguration i of on advance movement in our present sys tem of education, a system which cultivates the mind (or rather, pretends to do ao), at the expense of the body,—a system which keeps girls fussing and dreaming over studies which will neverbe of the digfatest practical use, at an age when they should be making their husbands’ shirts, or at least helping their mothers and becoming ac quainted with household duties. It is sad to think into what useless puppets these charming girls arc being educated. ‘ They toil not, neither do they spin;” yet do they expect to be arrayed more magnificently than Solomon in all his glory. At home they are perfectly useless, except for orna ment or luxury, like rare China or canaty birds.” The Augusta Constitutionalist, comment ing upon the above, chimes in as follows: “These are words of “truth and sober ness.” That the education of most girls is neglected, in practical matters, we all know to be a grievous fact. And the young men, fimlty as they may be themselves, but who do not care to marry doll-babies and dowerless Princesses of May Fair, confess that, with hard times before them and harder to come perhaps, they shrink from a partnership for life with women who have been reared to spend money, when they could get it, and to save none by thrifty habits.” Theso plausible remarks may indeed prove words of “ truth and soberness,” and the public generally may be greatly in debted to these legislators and journalists * for thus ventilating the subject. A woman ought, unquestionably, to know how to sew, for in every era of her life - as maid, wife or mother—and indeed, should she be thrown upon her own resources, as many are, it will be indispensable. But, are there not other arts which are also useful? Shouldn’t a woman know something else than how to hern a handker chief, tuck a skirt or sew on a button ? Are there not other things iu which females may be instructed to their profit and ad vantage? These do not suit them, you say. Why not? Simply because they have never tried them, have never had op portunities to become so capacitated or adapted. If the Massachusetts legislature therefore, intends to interfere with this sub ject of female education, let them insist that other arts, as appropriate, useful and for more remunerative l>e introduced into the curricula cf the public schools, _so that woman’s sphere of usefulness may be widen ed ; and iudecd, should the Augusta Consti- tutionalist insist upon any such reform we offer Mrs. Westmoreland’s ideas as food for reflection. But it strikes us that this act of the legislature of the “bay State” is again Exposition—Gov. j too narrow. Why confine themselves to Why not THE STATE CHIYEBSITY.

Carlton re turned from Atlanta last Saturday morning, generally improved in health and vigor, though somewhat prostrated by atempora ry indisposition which detained him in Atlanta a few days longer than he expec ted.

Nine tenths of our youths to-day leave college with Latin and Greek and some ideas about oratory which impel them at once into a professional ca reer, already overstocked and crowded. Turn your eyes to your own sex, gentlemen and see if no improvement cannot there be suggested. These ideas may indeed be defective, if so we would like to be corrected, but as the case now stands we present our two object ions as amendments to the Massachusetts bill, which in its purpose may be eminently considerate and patriotic. At each triennial meeting, said Board of Trustees shall, by ballot, select from their number, eighteen member.-*, who shall be known as, and styled tho “ Board of Regents for the University,” who shall serve for the term of three years, and w ho shall be charged with the duties of the immediate adminis tration of the business affairs of the Univer sity, and shall be vested with all the powers of the present Board of Trustees, excepting that the said Board of Kegeuts shall not be authorized, uuless empowered by the Board of Trustees, to convey any of the property of said University, or to make any expenditures ou account of said University, excepting for books, apparatus and furni ture, and excepting ordinary current ex penses, and excepting repairs required upon the property of the University. In case of any vacancy in said Board of Regents, the President of the Board of Trustees, shall, from the Board of Trustees, appoint a member to fill the unexpired term. Section 5. Re it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That at the tri ennial meeting of said Board of Trustees to be held in the year 1879, the said Board shall by ballot fill the vacancies caused by the expiration of the terms of office of those members of the Board elected under this act, for the term of three years. And the members so elected, shall be elected for the full term of nine years. And at each suc ceeding triennial meeting of said Board, the members thereof shall by ballot, fill the va cancies in said Board, caused by the expira tion ot the term of office of the members of said Board and all members so elected, shall be elected for the full term oi nine years. In case of a vacancy or vacancies in said Board, the Board shall fill the unexpired term or terms by election by ballot. Section 6. Re it further enacted by Hill.—Ben Hill was invited by the Dem ocrats of Bangor, Maine, to celebrate Washington’s birthday with them. As he was unable to go, he writes them a long letter, thankiug them for the honor, aud exhorts (lie people of the North to arise above the ignoble passions and rebuke their demagogues who would promote the strife of section*. “Gather then around the cradle of liberty in celebrating the birthday of Washington, and invoke a return of the spirit of the founder of the Republic,” he concludes. Well said, Mr. Hill! well said! GEN. COLQUITT AND TUB SOUTHERN LIFE INSURANCE COMPART. Wa have seen an item friskily floating around in the papers and have heard it whispered by certaiiLfMUties, that General Colquitt's gubernatorial chances have been seriously injured by the failure of the Southern Life Insurance, of which he was a Georgia 'representative. Gen. Colquitt being merely the Vice-President of this Company, as a matter of course, the same financial disaster has likewise undermined the popularity of iu noble President, Sena tor John & Gordon. Now, the failure of this Company, resulting from the Memphis Directory assuming the policies of the M Carolina Life," no blame whatever can be attached either to Gordon or Colquitt. How then has it injured these .two gentle men? How has it impaired the popularity of Gordon, how shaken the public confi dence in Colquitt? Has any dishonesty been traced" to ether of them? If so, prove it. Does the failure of a Company of which he was the Agent, prove Colquitt’s inability to manage Georgia’s finances? Not «t all .The' business of the Georgia branch of this Company ia-.shown to have been most successfully conducted—the blame, if you are pleased to find any, cannot therefore be imputed to him. The whole idea is so supremely ridiculous, that we mast assign the brain of some hot-headed enemy of Gen. Colquitt’s as iu birthplace, and upoa whose leaden ASgia we can de tect the gorgon of enmity and malice.

This body has adjourned, and while its session has produced nothing very startling, we presume that no harm has been done. Relief to our people, as has been wisely said, can come only from industry, and leg islation, while it can 'assist, cannot create prosperity. The Code has not been “mang led” as some are please to state, and no ex- s of public legislation can be complained o£ We thiuk therefore, that the many imputations, and fault findings thrown up to the body have been both ungenerous and uncalled for, and though generally, too obscure in origin and weak in character to do much harm, they show a decidedly Small disposition on the part of the disaf fected. The multitude of local bills which flooded the Senate and House have come directly from the people themselves into the hands of their representatives. We agree with Gregg Wright about this matter, and heartily add, “Hon. Potopher Pea- green, depart in peace.” ' National Democratic Convention. —The National Democratic Convention to nominate President and Vice-President has been colled to meet in St. Louis, June 27. The National Democratic Committee met at Washington and was presided over by Hon. Augustus Schell Charles D. Jacobs, Mayor of Lbbiaville, read a paper drawn fay the Kentucky delegation in taror of holding the Convention in that city. Louisville is the Democratic metropolis of a Democratic State that gives 40,000 majority; a State ao uniformly Democratic shonld meet with some regard for her adherence to troth, right and justice; The State of Kentucky is central and has no sympathy with the ultraism of any section. Kentucky had no son to present for nomination, and, there, fore, the deliberations would'be free from improper influences. Kentucky, however would cheerfully acquiesce in whatever the Convention ought deride. Notwithstanding this plausable appeal however, St. Louis, Mo, was selected by two votes over Chicago.
