Political Meteors. The meteoric scintillations in the. political horizon Tire certainly more conspicuous and start ling at this time than we have ever noticed before. First, we have the K? itt id >a of the Grant Bayard movement, and Jjr. Bagby'a letter in the same, line; hut, unfortunately for ilicse reform* ers,(although fortunately for the coun try,) their proposed unholy alliance comes just on the eve of the decline of the Grant "boom." Tho IMiihi dclphia rimes, alluding In it, says "it requires neither th? prophet nor the son of a prophet to say that bo iure Grant avid Bayard run on the same ticket the millennium will have arrived. Not until then will the lion and lamb lie down together." There is comparatively hss Grant "gush" at the North than at the South, and the Keilt idea does not meet with a response even in that sec - tion. The North h not solid for Grant. Next, we have; the Aikcn idea, which seiins to be that I ho Demo cratic and the Republican parties have outlived their usefulness, ami that tin: farmers must rai.-e a new parly. We do not think as S n:e do, thai Mr. Aikcn, in this expression ol opinion, intends at heart to aba idon the Democratic party, but thai he only wishes I he farmers to make themselves innre felt in the council of the nation. Being a Granger, it is natural that he should have their intciesls uppermost in his thoughts, but.he is loo thoroughly identified with the South to suppose for a mo lU-r-MJ-l? I lol t?bi? \voo 1<1 j/u iig'ii interests of his people. i>ei:ig a bold and honest thinker, and always in dependent, he thinks aloud. We look with much moderation upon Col. Aiken's views. In the midst of much that is impracticable and visionary, he expresses a deal ol truth. Next cornea Charles O'Connor's notions, lie is regarded as one of the ablest men in America, and on this account his views are entitled to consideration. An outline of his re cent letter appears in another col umn. The j rominent feature of this letter is the proposed obliteration of State lines. This is certainly strange doctrine for a Democrat, and seems very much like a complete surrender to Republicanism. When we con sider that in 1872 I ha flea O'Connor was too straight-out to vote for Horace Greeley, the sudden turn is incomprehensible. The letter is a political euri.sity. How Mr. ?X onor can expect the cause of liberty to be advanced by the centralization of poWer which the obliteration of Slate lines would cause, we are at a loss to imagine. The philosophy ol government or polities is very much the same as the philosophy of nnluiv. Too much centrifugal or too much coutiipeiul force wou'd produce destruction, flic proper poising of these forces is wh it is needed in politics, ami this is whai is accomplished by the iull iciicu of tho Democratic doctrine of States rights. Its centrifugal tendency is what counteracts the natural centri petal tendency around u<, and keep.-, the government in equal balance. Just as the earth would plingo head long into tho great solar centre in obedience to its centripetal tendency if its centrifugal force wer?- removed, so if Mr. O'Connor's idea of dung awn) with the State lines were ear ried out, all power would be precipi - fated into the central government, and a despotism at Washington would be the result. Such arc .some of ti>e meteor'c l monstrntions which are now bursting upon the political world. No do we think that they are altogether with out good results. They indicate a calthicr state of public opinion, und a laudable advance in tho direction of freedom of thought. Nothing shows a more servile condition in any com ? ???iiiiwiMi jujij. n?rw?a??w?n?m^c imp ihiwpi?pii nuinity (hau a general spirit of intol erar.ee. Wanderers froth the truth <v.'M"' ho restored hy such methods. Tin \ e.nn only In- brought back by perlet I freedom of speech, toleration, and the power of truth. The devia-. lions from Democracy are owing rather to real or imaginary evils, or outside local isstfcs arising among men, thun to the fundamental princi ples of the parly. Let them be thor oughly understood, aud the wanderers will conic buck to the old landmarks, for they tire an true as steel, and as lasting as the hilt. The foibles of the parly belong to men, and not to principles. It is therefore best for us to keep our own house clean in stead of looking about for new ones, or following strange devices. The Rising Generation. When we contemplatt tho political corruption which has disgraced the high? -t places in our land, and cast about for a meann of purification, we are instinctively drawn to the rising generation us the only hope for the future. Upon their proper training and culture depends the destiny of our land for the general ions to conic. The importance then of the education oi the young cannot he over estimated We cannot neglect it without doing :.n n jt;r\ , not only to ourselves,hut to j our neighbors. Hut in what docs education con sist? He who imagines that it is confined alone to the development of the intellect, only partially compre hends the subject . It inc.inks moral and physi al as well iu intellectual development. A youth filled with classical lore, Without the development of the phy sical and moral nntut'i, would be. poorly educated,and, on the Contrary, i ne fully trained in the moral a d ' physical line, to the neglect of the culture td* the mind,Would ne equally imperfect. It is the combination ot ail that makes the perfect in an. The training of the intellect is done principally in our schools ol learning, but along will; it the physi cal development of the pupil should receive a lull share, of attention. To this end every appliance for athletic exercise should he used. IL seems to us unfo rtunate thafqur* ,;(u>i?itiiun t-oli o.do uro ??? jiooiMy ?pro vided in this important eespect. Nothing is so essential to the happi ness of humanity than the existence of a sound and healthy race; and it is only in this way that we can ob tain this blessing. But the most important point in the education ol youth i* the develop, ment of the moral character. .This can be done to a great extent in the school room, hut chieliy through home influence, because it is here that the young have before them the secret life of those who are their guides and teachers, and it is here that the natural affections act as a powerful auxiliary in gaining the heir , i nd hen hy the attention and iute:e st of ihc learner. Let us then endeavor, b)' example as well as by precept, to guide the \oung in the ways of truth, and teach them to be noble, true aud good. Lei us point out to them the error and wrong that surrounds them on cvciy side, not ci vering it up when found ii. high places ? which, uhis ! is too often the cast;?but faith? fully expose the false ami hold up the right. Let the veil of hypocrisy ho torn off wherever foiiii I. If \\o desire to elevate ihc tone of society and bless mankind for the ages to come, we must educate the rising geiiera t ion. 'I his is the hope ol tin country. Let nil our individual influence he cast in this direction, and wn will enjoy the double satisfaction of ho V ing blessed ourselves in our efforts to bless nt hers.

Coming Home. The New Turk iSitn contains a pa- 1 iheiic ucoounj; of tho sufferings t?t | ISli/.a Young in Liberini who had been induced, among others, to leave the old plantation ami the seen ;s of childhood and embark in the Azoi, under the influence of Rev. B. F. Porter and Daddy Cain, of the Mis siounry Record. At the time that Hampton got control of ltie Suite Government, tlr; '.tin says that the colored people were told by these saints, and others of their stripe, that, they would be put back into slavery. The scheme of Liber hin exodus was pressed as a remedy. 'Jhc. Missionary Record kept standing at the head of its col umns "Ho! lor Africa! One million men wanted for Africa." The color ed people were told that if saoh in in who was able would [ratio S1J, the amount oi S30 >,000 could bo rai sed to buy a ship to carry them t > the "Promised Land." Now conies the sequel. Eliza Young writes home to tell bur pitiful fa'.e, and how she longs for tin home of her youth. Put who heed-; her cry? Is it Rev. Porter or Daddy, tain? No Her ohl master, W. A Wilkins, of Wayncshoro, Ga., is touched with feeling for his old slave, and sends u check for $300 to Mon rovia to bring her back hom !. v We can understand a pure Abolitionist, who was one from a genuine feeling of pity for what he was taught lo believe were thu wrongs ut these people. Being at ? distance he derived his notions from the picture books of vile fanatics. Put the story of the condition oi' these deluded and homesick crcaiuros in Liberia, should new awaken the heart of sympathy everywhere, j We almost despair that the colored people will ever learn who are lii ir friends. Congiessi'.nal. On Monday morning Senator Ferry introduced a joint resolution propos ing an amend tuen t to the Constitution to the effect that suffrage sh all not ha rest rice I on account of sex or for .any-other reason that does unlnppjjv to all citizens of the United States.

Mr. Wells, of Miss uri, introduced a bill incorporating the Inter oeeauic Transit Company. It makes J. R.
