Nothing ha? given us greater pleasure | that the defeat of Roseoe Conkling as j United States Senator from New York. - * ? - > 1 Jill ail ine:irnm im-c aim |ih-juiihhi?n thiitare so fully developed in his composition, this cook's comb nnn charlatan, intended to cmvov to the administration.! nn j to the people of this commonwealth. | the iJeft thai he was so supremo, nnd had j such influence with the people of Newi York, that all that was necessary was for him to appear before the Legislature of J New York State, 'inform them that lie- i ws n candidate, and then to betrium-j pharilly returned to the Senate Chamber, I Our own idea is, that it was a mere polit-1 ical trick to be returned for the long term, as liis term of office expired very soon, j in order that he mi:rht harass a*j much as possible the Administration ami to llaunt himself before the public. In thisho reckoned without his host and it was a desperate venture which none but a man of his overweening vanity would have made. For the people of New York to have elected him again would have been the veriest; %w? It ?..? I /Incfi- .

As to his sue-; eessor Mr. Lapham, we know very little, i except that he was a member of the In-j vestigating Committee that visited our : r..ate several years Hgo and he is said to be r. very bitter partisan. The only good that ci.n result from the election of Miller and Lapham, is that they are both members j of the House of Representatives and by thior advancement, it deprives tho Re-j public-ins of two votes, and some lucky j Democrat may possibly get their places in I Congress. The House will be organized j before an election can be had, giving the i Democrats the advantage. {Irecnville's Incendiaries. In repty to what we said about the con-; viction of the Greenville incendiaries the: News makes a reply. As wo desire to be j exactly' fair in the matter, we publish V that reply, which is as follows: "The Prcsx and Banner in this ease has mistaken the facts. The government; spent no money in hiring detectives, i: The city obtained the officer's services: and paid for them. The State govern- j ment has done nothing. It did not even i offer a reward for the capture of the crim-1 ilia!*. Governor Hagood was induced by [ much persuasion ami entreaty to create a , witness for t!?c State by pardoning Mad- j llox, because Cur.in, the detective, could J not be found and there was danger that) without the evidence of Maddox the ends j of justice would be defeated, and four desperate, exasperated men. emboldened i by immunity from punishment, released j to wreak their vengeance on the commit-; nitv that had prosecuted them. No crime! could be worse than that ot these men. They deliberately built a tire beneath a building in whi?h a man against whom}' tliev hid no snecial malice, was sleeping with his wife and child. They had been convicted twice before impartial judge* j | and juries, composed partly of men ofj their ?nvn color, and thoir ca?e has been fought to the Supreme Court and back by j attorneys who certainly have the merit of persistence. There is no excuse for the, crime of Dodson and his confederates. Every interest and sentiment in Green-! villo demands that they sutler the penalty i allotted by the law, and thoy will sutler that penalty. Only death can save them from it. When the State had offered a reward for the white men who murdered Judy Metts, she did mr>re than she has ever done against the colored men who burned the Opera House. If Laurens] county makes no effort to punish her criminals it is her affair and her disgrace. J Greenville will do her duty to her own law-breakers. r. * * Tito President.

Xctvs aml Courier, "Washington, July 21.?Thecondition of thPi President to-day \va? tlie source of much anxiety, and in Iheabsencc ol'official inlorma } tlon later tliun the moining bulletin all sorts . of wild and unfounded rumors weie in circulation. Since tlie evening bulletin, however, a more hopeful feeling 1ms prevailed, and the! excitement of the day h;s to a great extent; subsided. The attending surgeons to-night j do not hesitate to say that there has beeiu, * substantial, and, they believe, permanent] improvement in the Pre-idetiJ?;?? nilrt'ton ! since this morning. In an Utfervicw with a! representative of the Assorted lYes> at S A. I 31.. Dr. Iteybthe opinion that Miocrtshj^rflhe disturbance caused by ttio .-^WrnSJVtTon of a pus cavity had passed, audi , that there was now every reason twxpectan I abatement, it not an entire disappearance oft the unfavorable symptoms of the last thirty) six hours. i In explaining the nature of the operation1 performed by Dr. Agnew this morning anrt the necessity for i t. Dr. Keyburu made in sub stance the following statement: "The direc-; lion tak* n by t lie bail alter 11 entered the body , was forward and slightly downward until it1 struck one of the litis, it was thence dcllee-' ted still further downwu.d and a little to the right 6o as to ninke an angle with the line oi l hack. In other words, when a probe was introduced into the wound to a depth of tnrce j or three and a half inches lis direction was Mich trial lis inncrcuii was jidoiu an men umi . n half fiom the outside of thebody at a point;' lower down. The examination, whk'h was j made in the presence of Drs. Agnew and Ham ; 1 llton this morning, showed that a pus cavity < liad formed in the track of ihe t ali near or | beyond the point where it glanced from tl.e'i rib. and thai this cavity could be reached by! h direct incision three inches below the;' mouth of the wound. It was d- cided at one.e |' toIperlorni an operation. No anaesthetics | i were used, but the part to be operated tip'in was benumbed by spray of el her, and a \\ i<ie | cut wa* made inio a pus cavity which was 1 reached at a depth of a little more than an ' inch. Willi tiie aid of a probp am! a pair of I firceps a drainage iul>e which is a small flex- < jble tube of rubber perforated with holes, was V then introduced intothe wound made by the i J ball, and alter being carried through ilie pus ' cavity wrs brought out through the newly j1 made incision. One end of t lie tube then pro-'< .' ected from the cut made by the surgeon's j knifea'id iheotherfrom the mouth of the , original wound. As the pus oozed into the' tube through the perforations it could escape from cither end ami was repeatedly washed '< out with a weak solution of carbolic acid and water which was thrown through the tube in , a steam. The discharge which followed the opcnlning of the pus cavity was entirely sal- , isfactory to the surgeons and was soon fellow <d by the relief of the patient. The drainage I tube has been left as it was placed and will re-, main for the present. If tho wound dlschar-1 ges freely through the new opening the tube1; may perhaps be withdrawn from the old one in order to allow tlie latter to heal. The inci-| < plon made to-day is in a direct line with the:; deeper parts of the wound, and it Is thought', that that the pus will escape through It with- , out any of the obs tret ions which impeded itsj outflow along the track of the bull and which >' caused the pus cavity." ! In reply to a question whether another pus ; j cavity is likely to form and bring about a re-', currenreof the alarming symptoms of yes-! tcrday. Dr. Reyburn said: "I cannot answer! | Fositively. but as the pus has now free egress, l do not think It probable jtnat another will < form." ] Upon being asked whether there were or j had been any .symptoms In the President's! I . case of pyaemia or blood poisoning l)r. Key-;1 burn said : "None whatever. Rigor of course I may be a symptom of pyaemia, out It is also i < a symptom of various other complications, |. and itdoes not point to pyaemia In the pres-j ent case. J, "The pus continues healthy and character-'] istlc symptoms of pyaemia are wanting. You I ? may say on authority that no indications of' i blood poisoning have bsen observed and we1, have no reason to expect any." In conclti- 1 fiion.Dr. Reyburn said the President's condi-11 tion anrl symptoms to-night are more favora-1 i .ble and encouraging t han nt any time since < tho chill of yesterday morning.

I(l AVitli a consciousness of my own inn- -v bility, I accepted :?t our Ust meeting the j ?> appointment of essayist for this mooting, | ti and now, with diffidence, I attempt tod is- j :J charge tiiat duty. Some essays which % have been read before this club iiavo been ! t< so ably and so carefully prepared that I a iiiile was lelt to be said on the subject by ' g the different members. In this instance, j ?j however, I sball not presume to interest yon further than to make such suggos-jli (ions as will, I hope, induce you to join in j n the discussion of a subject in which weji are all interested, and about which it is v possible for each of us to hold views dif- j t: fcring fiom those of every other member, tl Where I shall be in the wrong, I knowjji that that charity of thought and thai i t< mildness of speech, which learning nndlc culture ever extend to the erring, will be! ti awarded to me. 11 T ,l.;? O..^.? O.IT- cmnntl.lim I .. about thc"l*robablc Future of America," ^ and shall at the saiuc time present some t facts in support of my conclusions. | y Ordinarily it might seem mere idle is fancy to predict the future of any coun- g try when it is remembered that republics j I have been overthrown in a day, and that i t monarchies havo been dethroned in an p hour; but the vastness of our territory, | i the diversity of our interests, the con-j servativo sentiment of our people, our it; wonderful and steady growth in material, h prosperity and population, together with ; i the non-interference of the Government | ? in the atVairs ami pursuits of the citizen, | n point unmistakably, as I think, to a glo- j lions future fortius Great Republic. I ii am not of tlint class of men who are in n constant dread of any threatened over- s throw of our freedom, neither am 11 of that class who anticipate the car- t< ly destruction of public morals. There r, is too much native patriotism in the p h"aris of our people to allow the one, jtl while there is too great a sense of rever- 'a etice in the enlightened conscience of ourjs citizens to permit the other. The excellence of our laws, the reli ! (j gious freedom guaranteed by our t'onsti- jii tution, the fertility of our soil, the health- j a ful 11 oss of our climate, together with s the educational facilities which are here 10 enjoyed, make our people prosperous, j w happy,contented. A citizenship enjoy-, ti ing all i>f those blessings cannot be other ! e than loyal. The strength <?f a nation like j n ours is in the hearts and arms of its citi- j e; zens, and not in its otllcers. The citizens ;tl of America, from instinct, and gratitude, i a and a just appreciation of the many bless- tl ings vouchsafed, are true and loyal. The! ti oppression by its rulers, and the crowd-; y od condition of Europe, make thousands j of the citizens of that part of the world [ w dissatisfied. When the}' look tftthis con-; f< tinent, no fairer field, no more inviting; d homo, no more hearty welcome awaits j? them elsewhere. Discouraged at home, jg and pleased with the cheering prospect, | ci thousands of able-bodied men and wo- |si men, with a commendable ambition, and j ii the noble resolve to benefit themselves i rr and their posterity, leave their homes,: i' their friends, and their old associations, j g for this land of ours, where a larger! h sphere of usefulness and a greater happi- in ness await them. j it Last year four hundred and fifty thou-; ei sand immigrants came to cur shores from ! d across the ocean, and the dresent rate of! pi arrivals would indicate that six hundred I < ] thousand will cotne in 1831. Even if i h Canada, or Mexico, or Cuba, he not an- tl nexed, and the powers of Europe do's nothing t<> stop this ever-increasing tide In: of emigration, in less than twenty years j tl the population of this Great Republic v will largely exceed a hundred million In souls, while our wealth will ^>e many . n times multiplied. The evidences of our j u material prosperity may bo seen on every tt hand. Since* the "war innumerable vii- i tr lages and churches have sprung up iti|pi every part of the country; little townsj]j have grown to busy cities; vast amounts u have been spent in machinery and iV.c-; tt tories; temples to industry dot the pi banks of our streams ; colleges and i tl; school houses crown our lulls ; the eulti- j to rated area of our lands has been almost] u< doubled, and the products of the field ! n< lave been proportionately increased. j \\ The agricultural exports from the I'nit- Si >d States in 1SS i wore double as much as i diey were in 1S70. In the last ten years; ti he railroads of the country have be"njm loiibled in miles, while the speed, safety,' tc ind facility with which the trains are j \\ now being'run, are not to be compared , g< ivith the old system. During that time i to :ho expense of "transporting the products jt >f the field to the markets of the world j ei t?as been reduced to one-third of what it ai ivas in 187t>. So great has been the J at progress in adding facilities for transpor-; w tation, that a great revolution has been . a! rwr *,.,1 ^ i: ^r I . . riirriru in uif uiiMni;ss uiiw i? ui uiv ; world. Tlio American citizen, whose cat-! n tie browse "upon a thousand hills," feed , n: unfettered up->n the grass of the plains, jol sr fatten upon the growth of the ? prairies witnoutcost, except in tlio mat-1 hi ter of hording and transportation, can'el soL1 in English markets cheaper beefjvi than can be produced in that country. I tli By the development of the carrying i tl: trade, the corn planter of Kansas and rc Iowa can successfully compete with the sj foreign planter, though he may live is thousands of miles nearer the market, u< ind without intervening oceans. Amer- oi ican grown wheat can be sold in Ktig-jtl: lish markets for less than the actual cost ec :>f production in England. j is It is t<> cheap transportation that we are jot so largely indebted for the present great i fa prosperity of this country! And tLis;ni prosperity his redoubled the energy of m the. American people in tiieir efforts to;n build and control railroads. For these ini purposes syndicates, with millions at es their command, are actively engaged in m buying old roads and in building new ci >nes. Such power do these corporations j te wield that cities tremble at their ap-jtli proach. To them is now attributed al- U most supernatural power. Some seem to! si :hink that they can at their will erect St itics, and then, so to speak, wipe them j d( from the face of the map. So marvelous I |y has been the growth of* cities at the ap- je\ proach of the locomotive, and so rapid | co lias been the development of the conn- ed ;rie> through which it passes, that it is'in not strange that tliere should exist a little ica lousy, a little superstitiomaml-ft little pi fear of these corporatioiHj-wlnch own and ct rontrol an mijriHTr'so powerful and so!of frocth^' Great railroad corporations n< jamXnowever, work only for the|Ei rrttblic good. While the public will j at 30 much better served b3f one great hti orporation than it could be by several ra ittle corporations, the single corporation j jo ,vi 11 be restrained from unjust and ar- ,'at jitrary discriminations against any j T1 :ommunity when it is remembered lif hat there is sufficient money in the coun- j w ry to build competing lines for every wi nile of railroad now in existence. And , fo n spite of the cry of unjust discriinina- j di ion our Legislators would do well to ro hink twice before passing laws which,! Ki lowever well meant, would be almost|th ertain to work adversely to the interests | m i>f the country. Much unjust and in-1 ci' qiiitous legislation has already been cti- j w icted, and these corporations still sutler! sli from unjust laws and that prejudice' w which exists in the mind of the citizen w igainst our greatest benefactors?the I Li railroads. It may not be amiss to speak) lit di' one or two points: Formerly, ifaitli citizen's ox should stand on the railroad'fe: :rack at the approach of the train, and j in Jiroiv the engine and passengers into the im liti h, greatlv damaging the property of j fa I I 1.811 S - ? ' - ,uu i inni'iiu v, aiiu iviiiin^ or encumber- j in ng the lives of Cie passengers, the citi-1 n( *en immediately sued the road for the th mine of the ox. The railroad owned! is :he right of way. The citizen, besides |co tieing indicted for endangering the lives th >f the passengers and the railroad em-[as ;iIoyees should he sued and made to pay i an he damages sustained Ity the Railroad [pc L'onipany. The citizen, and not the j of ompanv, should he sued. Another cli diort-sighted and impolitic legislation is'th the regulation of their freight trains, t th What right has South Carolina to block- j py ide the trains of a public highway run- i Bi ning from Charlotte to Atlanta? The j tu result of such legislation will be an ap-|ti< peal to the .Supreme Court of the United J at: States, which will, sooner or later, grant th the desired relief. hi I believe the fear that railroads, by w: whomsoever owned, can materially in- di jure the prosperity of any section of tho country is without,just cause. Tho pros- ah peritv of the countrv, and the prosperity it; i>f the railroads are dependent each upon j jn the other, and I believe railroads to be not ho rmly the great equalizers ot commercial ti< values in every part of the world, but I la: dso tho greatest equalizers of civiliza-1 wl tionand religion. Cheap and quick trans-1 of portation, by tho daily trains, will equal- ] m izo everything. It will equalize the valuoi tit jf our lands, and will equalize the popu-' 01 lation of the different countries. The! poor tenant will not longer pay an annual! be rental in one part of tho world, which is ta more than the purchase money of thejoi same quantity of better soil in a bottcr} in :omi try. j The "present railroad enterprises in ! di Mexico, if carried out, will do more to j n, \merieanizo and Christianize that semi-1 iq jarbaric country, than all tho denomina-1 n( ionnl missionaries that could be induced :C(J o go there to labor for tho spir- ! \ tual welfare of the wild Indian, tho K0 ilothful Aztec, tho indolent white mati, ar >r the worthless mongrel possessing the p, indesirable traits of both races from 1 ta vhich he descended. For this reason,Id, tnd because railroads will hasten tho er lav for tho annexation of a country 0f whose mountains are full of the rich-ist sst ores, and whose valleys are pro-|ej ilnctlvo of the host crops, such enterprises Mt, should receive the heartiest support c.f i every Christian possessing a missionary I et spirit, and a patriotic desire to extend jn Dur beneficent laws to a country so rich ; n in natural resources, and whono citizons ) di ire so much in need of a better religion i jn ind a higher civilization. Whenever j j,< railroad trains shall run daily from the 1 tli [?apitol at Washington or the city of New I n, York, to tho City of Mexico, Yankee en- sa ?rgy and American vitality will infuse new life into our neighbor republic, S}1 which, when it knows us better, will belome more friendlv, and in a little while u that Republic will be sending rop- y rcscntativcs to tho halls of Congress at tc .. . Washington, and in return we will secure o > tliein a stable and conservative ;*ov- c rnmont. Later on in the history of Hie j u ^uutry Canada will no longer owe its al- j o njiance to England, and that province c iil send its quota of senators and eon-In ressiuau to tlio Capitol of tiio United 11 tates, and many of you will live to see:o uba free from Spanish rule, and enjoy-1 n ig the benefits of annexpiion with us. I ii With these desirable results ellbeted, t e products of these countries will havojo free entry into the commercial centres v f the United States, and our manufae- v ur^d goods will have new outlets and j i ew markets, from which they are now: t irtually excluded by the present "pro- t jetive taritf" which collects a duty of f bout sixty uer cent, on the value oi' nil ] oods or products which cross the present, j oundary lines of these countries. j c As we grow in area, and as our citizens 11 ?arn to look beyond the horizon of our \ resent limited territory, they will learn t In? iinpractieabilit\' of enforcing the laws 11 rhich now obstruct free commerce. JJy i? tking the larger view, each section of! i Ii is vast Republic will be allowed to send ; I ts products and manufactures to its ut- 1 i rniost bounds. Then, if one section ' | an grow rice cheaper than any other sec-j i ion, let us buy rice from that section. j < .% uoidinlio I'll ! ?! id) 1 i it L.IIIH ivt wtiiut nvv<biwiio tut ??j<* . . ugar, corn, wheat, fruits, vegeta- i i les, as each may be bettor able to con-: i ribute to tbo common welfare of the 11 .'imle people. If Cuba can raise cheaper j t ugar than Louisiana, why tax Cuban sit- j i ar to tlie disadvantage of the consumer? , t f other sections can grow cheaper rice, a han South Carolina, why practically j rohibit the citi7.en from the* purchase ol'j i lie cheaper article ? That the great influx.of foreigners to j I his country will atlecl our manners, our i abits, and our religion, I think is scarce- ' susceptible of a doubt. Our railroads f ml our ships, our telegraphs and our I ewspapers, in a thousand ways, are dai- t y enlarging our views, and educating us t 11 that more liberal thought, which will c repare us to receive the impress of 1 trangers who may come among us, and v ho may exhibit positive traits incharac- i sr, in habits of life, or in peculiarity of r eligion, while they in turn will be im- ?i tossed by us, and each will realize that c (tore is something higher than creeds, J ...1 <3,M??tKiti.r tnnrn ron 1 t linn nrofes-1 t ions. ! t While we neod never fear tTft joining of J i 'linrcli and State in this country, we areI p i clangor of a much more expensive and ! i much less beneficial combination ofjs chool and State. When the Constitution c f thiscountry was framed, this question, c hich is now attracting so much atten- r on, was not thought of, and its consid- t ration did not enter when that instru- 1 lent was prepared and adopted. At that 1 iirlv period of our history it was only c 1 rough the utmost stretch of Legislative! v uthoritv, that the law-making power of 1 ic country made the smallest appropria- I ons for educational purposes. Thirty r ears ago, when this State was rich, the i nnual appropriations for this purpose j e ere abou t $50,000?one-half of which was| 1: ir the common schools, which was sol- t oiii exhausted, and the remaining3J">,0(i0 1 as for the South Carolina College, whose | li raduatcs in the past have given tone and j n haractor to the State. The desire to de- i f troy our best standards has culminated li 1 an eiiort I'J UOllljlB lilt) [nvaciu turn- i. ions appropriations for public schools, v he masses, under the leadtrship of mis- <i aided politicians, who would so lately I ave closed the South Carolina College, n economic grounds, would now vote an :s idetinite amount of taxes to relieve thejli iiizen of the duty to give his own ehil- t ren even the elementary branches of an j o ilucation. The absurdity of a further in- t rease of the present enormous school | a >vy is apparent when it is remembered d lat the educational machinery of the u tate embraces as many utticers, and costs t s much money, as all the remainder of [ 10 Government together. Zealous ad- c ocates of the school system, make a com- j c ion mistake in supposing that education fl lakes better citizens, irrespective of s ioral training. The truth is, ma- n rial prosperity is the basis of j| loraliiy and education. Material pros- e L'rity implies conservatism, imposes oh- p gat ions, inspires self-respect, and pro- u lotes a commendable pride in one's pos- w 'ruy. j^t'i evurs" uaseti viuz.ni wn'intj ji rospermis, he at once instinctively seeks J ti le elevation of his children?lie desires p have them well thought of, andtheed- o ration follows. No education which is t! )t based on morality is worth the eost. a! 7j need: First, material prosperity; ? *eond, morality; Third, education. I, The results of industry, to a great ex- p nil, make us honest and truthful, while! lonev shields us from the vices and the tl mptations which heset us at every step. ?? Titli a reasonable amount of this world's iods we are enabled to preserve and pro- tl ot tho honor of our families; by moral- C| y the second step in civilization, we are j0; tabled to control our own evil p;issions, j jH id tho natural inclination to do wrong, j ti id by it our lives are kept pure and thus a, e are enabled to go one step further, to tc isorb and take in that religion which e' veetens our homes, makes us kind ti eighbors and good citizens; and then 11- <ji illy, by education and the cultivation jr " the heart, the moral and upright fiti- j 01 ;n attains the noblest specimen of man- J tc uod, and is rendered efficient to dis-1 tr targe the highest duties of life. To pro- j r( ido food and shelter for one's family is! ti le lirst step towards civilization. After j p lat we undertake to learn the moral and . a| 'ligious lessons, and seek to become re- j sj lectable. After that again conies the (in- i a) hing touch?the education, lint, to ed-! 'ti ^ate the immoral man is to endanger so-1 a, ety, and to hazard the best interests of j a, le State. His power for evil is inereas- v 1 ten fold, and for this reason the State! a| not bound to educate him, but on the' her hand, thecommonwealth should,as! |1( r as possible, withhold from vicious! {y linds this most powerful engine, which ! ^ lay be turned to the destruction of civil j itenv, religious ueeuom, uuu ;i i;uiuiai lorality?knowledge is power. To edu- w ite that class of citizens is like arming! w admen, and turning them loose on so-j ety. They are thereby made more po- j ai nt lor evil, and their ability to disturb tw le public peace is greatly Increased, j \a niversal education therefore cannot pos-j bly be an unmixed benefit to either Uio! ss ;ate or to society. As the benetitjKfo be I ?rived from one pure man, whjvis high-10] educated, cannot be competed, so the ! il consequences of educating dozens of 1 f,, >rrupt men is not'tO~b'e estimated. To;fr [ucate all u>cn alike is to increase and j (-? tensity the conflicting forces. j j,s It Is* a rare thing to sec a man p )ssessing property arraigned in our j p, iminal courts, while the number jta poor who commit crimes have > relation to education or iMitcrnoy. | cr ducation without morality, has no ro- j sc raining influence, and I should prefer to: t,. ivo Church and State combined, |0( tlier than to have School and State j p, ined. That would be commencing, {,, the beginning?in the natural order.1 u, :ie Church teaches that morality and re-j i1( jion which makes a man a good citizen, , \\ liether he is educated or not, while the j p( nrk of the school may or may not be j th r tlio public good. The public should i ^ sabuse their minds of the common er- rf r that education promotes morality.! ti< ducation neither improves nor injures j ? e moral character. Hut education may ; rp jure the public welfare. If all our j t*, tizens were educated, this country I s< ould be in a lamentable condition. The j es iops would be closed, and the farms mild lie deserted, iseariy every young; tli hite man who knows a few words of f{) ;itin or Greek, even though he have no! ^ erary tastes or inclinations, undertakes! ar e pursuit of some of the learned pro- j at ssions, to eke out a miserable existence j w a "shabby genteel" style, while if hejsc id chosen to be a good artisan or good; tj] liner he would live independently, pay t s debts, and enjoy the confidence of his| f? sighbors. And it is a well known fact i i? at no educated negro in this country tc employed at any useful pursuit, ex- oi pt that of teaching and preaching. In ! is us speaking I would not bo understood ! u being opposed to the citizen acquiring! i education, if he does so at his own ex-! in ;nse. I am only opposed the enactment |ai a law which makes paupers of all our j tu lildren. I do not, however, object to e State's making limited provision for|tli e education of those children whoso fn irents arc too poor to pay their tuition, it nt the Republic should never under-jvi ke to relieve the citizen of his obliga-jcl 3ii to educate his children, because tlie e: t demoralizes the parent, and because ! oj e investment, by the Government, of j m rge amounts in universal education, w ill not yield a lair return for the expen- si ture. ! di In Gormany or Russia, %vhere every o! ilu-bodied citizen is required to do mil-! it iry service, it might seem nothing but w st that the government should give the i n< Idler's children a common school educa-! I >n in lieu of the bounty in money or nd which our government pays those lio may serve as volunteersduring times war, but this country makes no deands of us for military service, in a> nes of peace, and we should educate 'n ir own children. m There are many reasons to support the I ei lief or theory that this will at 110 dis-jln lit day bo the richest nation on earth. icl sr natural resources are as good as the [ }'|' ost favored country; we are not bur-id, sued by an itninenso army, which jnl ains a nation not only of its ready oney but deprives it of its natural and | >* intimate productive power: we have non-productive landed aristocracy to j bi nsume our products, but every man in ja* merica works at something and fills j me useful place. In countries, which j"1 e ruled by despots, and whoso non- U) oductive wealthy citizens enjoy heredi- [ in ry estates, a large per cent of the pro- j w icing mon of the country are coin pell- j ^ I to quit their fields to servo for a term NV! years in the army. In Russia, for inance, which has a population of about st ghty-tive millions we find in the army |il) veil hundred and fifty thousand of the IA >st men of that country, taken from evy avenue of life, to be made consumers, stead of producers. In Germany, half a lillion men are under arms, and a hun ed thousand horses are kept constantly I it their service?every German citizen j s: iing compelled to give three years of lellowor of his early manhood to thej^ lilitary service of his country. The j ? une may be said of Franco, where four iu it nd red thousand men, and eighty-thou- Icl ind horses are made coUHumers, instead 1 ' producers. And I might go onto enu- n lerate all the governments of tho Old n rorld. Liko groat numbors of mon are s > be found in all their armies, while tho li wners of hereditary estates who otisumc much ancl produce nothing, nay bo numbered by big figures. In ur own country quite a different onditiou of affairs exists. Nobody oes into the army, nnd tiiere is no great utrden on the eountry. There arc no! wtiors of hereditary estates who produce lothing, and consume so much ; but o\vng to tiie freedom with which estates iaily change hands every man here, eithr front choice or necessity, is an active worker in the great American beehive, vhcre there are no drones to be fed at the >ublie expense. It is to the absence of J he hereditary estates, and to our diminu-j ive army that this country is indebted j or the development of that energy and! >erseverance lor which tlio people oi Vmerica are so famous. Property is ever hanging hands, and money is within the J each of every one, and jus the largest revardsare won by the most energetic and he most sagacious, the best business alenl is being perfected and dilfus d among our people. With these favorng conditions ever present it is not to jc wondered at, that we ar? growng rich faster than any other people, and it is only a question of i'very few years, when we will be, not! uiic i tin riciif'st J in t tlu! strongest nation : i) the world?rich in gold a:i<( strong in non and arms. The Government lias no J nternal foes. Every American citizen oves the land of his birth, and is loyal to he home of his adoption. There are j lone on the soil who would raise an arm j o destroy it, and there are none who I vou Id fail to strike an invading enemy.! government like this needs no stand- J ng army. The tendency of this Govornment will i )C towards centralization?toward mak-j ng this what I understand to he a! 'strong government." As new emer-j jeneies arise Congress and the .Supreme ,!ourt of the United States will override ho State laws, and oneo a precedent is nadeinany particular instance, the en roachment forever obliterates State's tights in that particular. During the var Congress passed certain laws which vonld make it now much more dillicult ind much more dangerous to organize mother Confederacy within the present borders of the Federal Union, fust now there is a disposition on the! >art of some of the citizens of the conn-! ry to enact a law, making an attempt j ipon the life of the President a much! rreater crime than if the same effort was uadc against any other citizen. Should | uch a law ever be enacted he may soon I ease to travel the country without an | iseort. These would bo steps toward | oyalty which we would regret to see, and j o that extent it would be a cutting ooso from a pure Republicanism ; j nit oppressive royalty will nev-l r bo reached in Washington. While j ve will lbrevfr remain Itcpuh-J ican in our form of government, it will | e found,as our numbers increase, and I iew dangers present themselves, that the I iccessity for more stringent laws will ! xist, and if any State's Rights should j ie in the way they will at the proper j ime be unceremoniously overridden, 'or this kind of centralization 1 shall I lave no fears. It will have the effect of ihlitoruting sectional lines and sectional! eeling. Whileevery citizen will always lave a just pride in the place of his irth, or the home of his adoption, he till become in reality, a citizen not f a particular locality, but of this whole lepublic. * j While saying that sectional pride and j ectiopal animosity will give place to that; firger patriotism which will allow a !?mn |( i) iove this whole country, I take no part i r parcel in the attempted fraternaliza-1. ion which is sought to be established 1 round the graves of their dead and our lead. I cannot take part in their "Monorial Days," nor do I want them to paricipato in the work of our "Decoration )ays." The graves of our dead are Mired, and I do not care to Lave tl.em ouie near, and I Iriveno desire to spread lowers over the graves of those who lew them. In honoring our den t we lav do so in a manner to be offensive to liose of the other side, and they may so xultingly Haunt their flowers in our reset lee as to excite evil passions. Let s avoid giving oft'ence, and let us not illingly place ourselves in a position to ivitf "n n kindness while performing lcso oflices of lovo and patriotism. Hut >t us, in an unostentatious way honor j iir dead in sincerity, but let not those of io other .side come to us in our grief, n??r i ?k us to bind their victorious 1-rcws ith 11 uvers. I prefer that the .load of j oth sides should be forgotten before we ( rove false to <mr hearts, and pretend to Y.-morializo" with llowors t!ie graves of i leir dead in thesame sincerity that we j Decorate" the graves of our brethren. ! In connection with this I might remark . lat Arneiica is talcing the lead in the I ultivation of a universal brotherhood f all mankind, and onr civilization j i having the effect of discouraging mi- , ons in the hasty resort to war. As we I l..n.w.n ir, tli.il iwirlini- finn wind'!. taches us to respect all mankind, of what- l ver religious cioed and of whatever na- J onalitv, there will bo loss and loss dan- | cr of war. The world is now progress- i ig to that enlight nod condition when nr difficulties will bo adjusted by disin- ' (rested nations. Already this conn- j y is not a stranger to the henclieial isultsof peace conferences, and when > ie world shall have made a little further 1 rogress wo will learn war no more. In ! \ fter years when our children's children jj all read of the great armies of men; i ud brethren arrayed in deadly conflict, ' lev will be struck with wonder and ' ruaznment at our want of conservatism j, id our lack of diplomacy. We are ad-J i ancing to an ago which will'bc so liber- i , so just, and possessing such a broad ! ;nseof right and wrong, that wars will ! b unknown, and the useless waste <<f , lood and treasure in this unprotitabla N usinoss will cease forever." |i While the world is progressing toward j J 11 era when actual war will l>o unknown, i j e shall never get rid of tho rumors of i ars, and alarms at tho threatened dos- .? uction of our libertj", Those "alarms" J re the stock in trade of little politicians j ho may bo very earnest in thoir convict- , his, and very honest in th'ir intentions i i benefit the public, i>nt who are hi mci une time very deficient in ability. )j ot being able to lead in any worthy;} r commendable public interests, , uring election campaigns they must ? live ' s'we-cr >\v?" with which to ' ighten their unthinking constituents. ! ne of these has been the dread of'('a?sar- ( m," if Grant should be elected to the 1 residency for a third time.

Some of our political economists are earn;lly exerting themselves this hot weather In ylng to show how easy and simple it would I rir : 10 do away withall the troublesome and I I .Nations machinery of the laxgntlurer by j vying all tlio tax necessary to cariy on our ate ami eiiiintv governments upon the land; -?

It is argued, with much reason, that | j ihe manufacturer, merchant, banker and 1 nporter is taxed he merely adds the tax to Is expense account and diaries it as an ud-jfT tional prolit on the cost of liis wares, or the i JL iterest for money, and that finally the pro- j icerand consumer, who together arc by far le larger part of the population of our coun- ? y, must finally pay the taxes. It is ns cerliii as fate that all taxes or extraordinary ipenses of whatever kind must of necessity ) back to the soil, as this Is the place of last sort as well for expenses as for profits. The rmcr feeds all and must pay all, taxes inelu d. Admitting then that It would entail on j irdshlpon the planters as a class to put all ' xeson their lands, there must be very great i lepuallties as to value,and the uniform sysm of tlve cents per acre, would fall to tbej 'ouud.
