EDUCA-- v The Illinois Legislature has adopt ed system of compulsory education, which vill be unusually arbitrary ia its operations, but it is admitted will be beneficial in its consequences. A prominent feature of the new law is ne which compels parents to send their children to school at least three y months in the year.and a severe is imposed upon them as well as derelict guardians, who fail to comIt beply with it3 requirements-comes the duty of the cily, town and county authorities throughout the State, to report to the different school Superintendents the names of all . . 1.

Books and other material necessary for their instruction, are to be supplied at the expense of the State, and even where a family is not able to provide its youthful mem, pen-alt- . -- 1 1 1 ; bers with decent apparel, the School District is authorized to draw upon the State Educatioual Fund for that purpose. There are other provisions in the law equally stringent and obligatory. Compulsory education has been tested for soma years in some of the New England audWestern States,and the results attained have been most favorable. It is questionable whether this system does not conflict with individual, freedom, and is not contrary to the spirit of republican in- on the north side by D. Wood. The latter's. furniture and e.Tecta were, however, purchased by Mr. Lewis, and Wood's occupation of the premises ceased. Last evening Mr. Wood made a request of Mn. Lewis for the privilege of sleeping in her kitchenf which she peremptorily refused, when he declared that he would "shoot." Immediately after this. Weod went to Mr. Boessel's and asked for the loan of a pistol, which Mr. Boessel bad lent to him on several occasions, as he wanted it for protection in his store. Mr. Boes- sel declined lending the pistol any more, and Wood subsequently purchased the weapon, a second-han- d revolver, loaded, for $9. Wood then wished to purchase shot-gua double-barrele- d ostensibly to in room his at the back of his keep store, and bought one from Mr. Boessel for $16, after enquiring whether it would burst, and receiving the assurance that the barrels had been tested. He requested Mr. Boessel to load it, .and he did so, putting seven buck-shinto each v n, ot barrel. About 10 o'clock Mr. Lewis returned home from his lodge-room- , and after retiring te bed, was entreated by his wife to1 see if there was not somebody up stairs. He paid no attention to this at first, but Mrs. Lewis Insisted tbat she heard some one open the front staircase door, and make a noisa in the upper part of the building, and she believed it was Mr. Wood. Mr. Lewis then started to go up stairs, but on second thought went after a policeman to assist him. The night watchmen, Mr. Clark, was found at Cook's saloon, and accompanied Mr. Lewis to the stairway, and was about passing up, whe.u a voice from above cried "halt!" and immediately a gun was fired, at least three shots entering Mr. Clark's breast. They both retired, Mr. Lewis shouting "murder 1" when Mr. Child, the policeman, came on the scene and, Clark returned, with him to help make the arrest. Others gatherer by this time and Wood, who was found on the stairway with the gun cocked, ready to discharge the other barrel, was commanded to surrender. He replied, "you want to kill me." Upon receiving the assurance that if he gave himself up he would be protected, he came down stairs; Clark seized the gun and threw it into the road, and Wood was takeu to the lock-up- . Mr. Clark, who now began to yield to the effects of his wounds, was conveyed home, and Dr. T. E. Brown sent for, who succeeded in extracting one shot and finding another lodged in the breast, and probed for the third, which he was unable to extract, as the patient was growing weak, but he penetrated the weund to the depth of nearly two inches This wound ia the most dangerous of the three; it is not considered mortal, but a little time must elapse before any relia ble decision can be pronounced. Mr. Clark's bravery, and determin tion in persisting to help make the ar rest, cannot be too highly commended. No reflections can be cast upon Mr Boessel, who merely supplied a customer with goods he had for sale. It is well known that Mr. Wood has suffered several times from- the baneful in intoxicat effects of but it drinks, appears that he had ing ceased drinking for several days, and it is possible that the sudden cessation from the habit had the effect orunset tling his mental balance. It is a lament able affair, and will be duly investigated when the condition ot the wounded man js better understood fications of and prescribing the mode ot eleeting.and summoning grand and petit juries, being made the special erder for Thursday, was taken np for a second reading. The first section prescribes what classes are exempt from service as jurors; the second, who are liable; the thtrd provides that one hundred names g of citisens shall be placed by the county eourt upon the jury list. Mr." Mann moved to amend by placing the names ef all citizens resident in the county, who are eligible for service, on the jury list, and drawing the names from the ballot box. Mr. Wright objected. The population of some counties is composed f foreigners who cannot speak English. Mr. Mann said this difficulty could be remedied by making a knowledge of the English language a necessary qualification. Mr. Thurber said the gentleman's plan (Mr. Mann's) would be cumber- - 18 HEREBY some. Mr. Mann thought a certain per cent-agfifty or seventy five cent, of eligible citizens, a better plan. The question on the amendment to J strike out the words "one hundred, "and insert wall," was negatived. , Mr. Mann moved to amend by inserting the words "a list containing at least fifty per cent, of citizen residents eligible to serve as jurors, in place cf "one ing a President, Vice Prexident and five Directors, for the ensuing two years, and for the transaction of snch other busiuoss as may be necessarv. w.

But as the principle upon which the Free School system was origiually established is open to the samo objection, and has become re cognized as an essential element of our civilization, the people will not pause to consider the morality of a law which claims that the youth of the land is subject to the paternal eare of the Government. ' An" analogy is frequently drawn bntween the educational svstem of this country and Prussia. It is claimed that the compulsory system of tho latter has exerted a powerful influence in the dissemination of correct principles; and in the elevation ef the social and political character of the German. There is bo reason to doubt, that the results of the German system proves,, that it has been most efficacious in the diffusion of intelligence, in chocking corrupt influences, and in the suppression of evil.
