A tartly, gradual reduction or thc tariff is all thal can be hoped Tor. -A Washington telegram of Sunday says: "The President expects to issue his proclamation by Hie middle of the week announcing tho ratifica? tion of the Piftcmth amendment. Nebraska rati fled it on Thursday, and as soon as Mississippi ls admitted, whicli will probably,be hythe middle of the present week, thc requisite number or States has been obtained without counting New York, Georgia or Texas. It ls understood also that a joint resolution will oe Introduced in Congress de? claring that the amendment has been duly rati? fied by three-fourths or all the States, ir this is done.it will first be necessary to obtain au onlclal statement of the date or the ratification by each State from the StKtc Department. Republican members say that bills will be at once Introduced, by virtue of Ute power conferred on Congress by thc second section or the amendments enforce the provisions of the first. New Hampshire will bc tho first State to hold an election under thc amendment, but ia Connecticut it will have more practical illustration, as the members from that State estimate that it will add over a thousand voters at thc April election." Thc University of thc Son t li. It has long been admitted by thinking men at the South, to bc a material defeat ;jf our domestic civilization, that we have uo great intellectual centre which may serve both as the expouent of Southern thought, and as a nursery for thc cultivation and de? velopment of the Southern mind. It may be safely laid down as a rule, that where the mental stimulus of a people is drawn from sources outside of itself, where the edu? cational impressions made upon the plastic minds of its youth are foreign in their nature to thc genius and spirit of the popular type, it is impossible for that people to attaiu any marked national individuality, or to com? plete in any adequate manner its own pecu. liar development. This proposition i3 too plain to need" argument or illustration. It would probably be impossible to over esti? mate the influence of Oxford and Cambridge, not only upon the Anglo-Saxon mind, but, through it, upon the world; and the great Northern colleges of the American Continent have hada hardly less marked effect iu their sphere. Now, more than at any previous period in her history, the South needs pre. cisely such an institution. The battle of hands has been tried, and has fuiled to make us an independent people; henceforth our only reliance must be upon the battle of mind and thought. And, in the long run, that is the only victory worth haviug. Un? less we can achieve our intellectual indepen? dence, mere political freedom will avail little. This necessity has been provided for by thc establishment of tthe University of the South. Originated by the foresight and pa? triotism of thc late Bishop Polk, of Louisiana, the young institution was ably fostered by the watchful care of Bishops Otey and Elliott, whose loved and honored names are in? separably connected with its growing for? tunes. It ls now under the immediate super? vision of the Bishops of Mississippi and Ten? nessee, and bas before it the most favorable prospect? of achieving uti the vitally impor? tant euds for which it was designed^ It is admirably situated at Sewanee, Tennessee, upon an elevated mountain plateau, with complete railroad communication, and a perfect climate. The number of pupils has increased, in less than a year, from thirteen to eighty-seven, and all that stands in the way of its farther unlimited Increase is thc want of means and accommodation for the. applicants. The trustees aro now before the Southern people asking for twenty-live thousand dol? lars to complete their invaluable work, and to place the future nursery of Southern thought upon a sure and finn basis. Du? ring the late visit of the Bishop of Tennessee lo England, the University of Oxford gave a most practical proof of its recognition of the importance of thc enterprise, by presenting thc infant ersity with four thousand volumes of rare and valuable books towards thc establishment of ita library; - nd a large pecuniary contribution was also obtained from England towards thc same end. Sure? ly the people of the South will not be behind strangers in such a matter. It is not over? stating the case, to say that it is vitally im? portant to thc futuro of the South that thc mind of its youth should be withdrawn from the baneful influences which pervade the whole Northern system of education, and be nurtured iu a more truly catholic and oational school of thought. Again lei us repeat that it is the only, as it is the surest, way of accomplishing our true indepen? dence. If thc South is ever to exert her le? gitimate influence upon the spirit of tho age, she must do it by perfecting her own in? tellectual training, and by bringing to the struggle a mind unhampered by New Eng? land scepticism and superficiality, and bear? ing the thorough impress of her own indivi? dual genius. Wo may say, flnallj'. that although the University of thc South is under the nomi? nal control of the Protestant Episcopal Church, it is intended to exert no sectariau nor proselyting influence upon its members. Its spirit, like its aims, is catholic aud cos? mopolitan. A Word to Congress. Thc National Legislature has done much to commend itself to thc Southern people, by the evident earnestness with which it has gone to work to purge itself of the miserable dogs who have been trading in thc appoint? ments, which, in virtue of their official sta? tion, the law ha3 vested in their hands. Now, let the investigation only bc thorough, searching (as far, at least, as the senators and representatives from the reconstructed States are concerned,) general, and let lha official guillotine fall without mercy or de? lay upon the necks or all who may bc round guilty, and Congress will, in one instauce, at least have done its duty nobly to itself, and dealt out justice to thc wronged and shamefully misrepresented people of the South. But let no single scouudrel be made the solitary scapegoat for a score of bis equally guilty fellows. Wbittenore and H?ge arj not the only representatives from South Carolina whom this investigation should reach. There is, ut least, one oilier, an! he will not bo far to seek. Nor need the State official who, according to common report, paid heavily fora cadetship, be difficult to lind. Let the committee inquire aa to the residence of the parents of each West Point or Annapolis cadet appointed lately from thc South, and thc result will give a clue to venal doings of which they have so far heard but thc begining. The Cost of tho City Government. The Committee of Ways and Means of thc City Council estimate the expenditures of the city for tho current year at 8771,000, in? cluding $320,000 for interest on the city debt. Last year thc expenditures were $417,748, and if the city government keep within bounds, and spend no more in each depart? ment than is appropriated to that depart? ment, the result will bc a saving of nearly one hundred thousand dollars in current ex? penditures, notwithstanding thc appropria? tion of $6000 for thc Orphnnhouse of the Sisters of Mercy and $5000 for the Old Folks' Home. But the saving of one hundred thou saud dollars-in estimates-is not all that can be accomplished if the Mayor and Aldermen are heartily in earnest in pushing on the good work of retrenchment and reform. Tho cost of thc Police department is set down ut $70,000. This is at least $10,000 too much; for $60,009 should give a city of this size a guard as strong and as efficient as is required. Thc estimate for Streets is $70,000, and for City Improvements $35,000, making in all $105,000. This is far too much, and public opinion points to about $75,000 a?tbe proper figure for streets and improvements for twelve months. And we believe that this amount, carefully and hon? estly spent,-will give the city all the mending, repairing and new work which arc indis? pensable for the convenience of thc mercan? tile and general public- Then, it is pro? posed to spend $30,000 on the Health de? partment. Thi3, although less than the last year's expense, is far too high. For this department $20,000 should bemad ?to do. Throwing these figures together, it will be seen that the City Council can make their already low estimates at least $50,000 low? er, and this is about equal to a tax of one fourth of one per cent, upon the value of all the mal estate in the city. This is surely worth saving. What says the City Council ? THE New York Commercial and Ft'nan oial Journal, of Saturday last, republishes the main points made in the report of the South Caroliua Railroad Company, and concludes its comments by saying: "This "paper briefly, but explicitly, expresses the "financial condition of the company at thc "close of the year, and when the heavy loss "es, and still heaver obligations they have "had.to meet, are remembered, it will ex "cite the likeliest gratification amongst thc "stockholders." IT IS rumored that, the Republican State Central Committee, which meets in Columbia to-morrow, will read Congressman White? more "out of the party." They cannot do this without tarring Bowen and Hogo with thc same brush. Whittemore ls white as snow in comparison with Bowen, and is not a shade darker than Hogc Shall Whitte? more suffer and the other two go scot free ? ?o Bent.
