hind no other city in the known world in
this respect. We have Intelligence and
wealth;-we have the advantage of con-
slant association with the first minds in
all sections ofour vast country. Indeed,
we possess among us more of the neces-
sary elements for the intelligent training
of youth than any other community to be
named: elements, growing for the most
part out of the fact, that Washington is
the seat of the Federal Government of the
United States. Not to press onward in
the work of improving and extending our
public school system, by all means at our
command, would evince a weakness
wholly incompatible with the character
of our people and the circumstances by
which they are surrounded. The reader,
we trust, will not understand us as init
mating that we are behind those of neigh
boring cities in this matter; but, rather, as
setting forth the Importance and opportu-
mites which we enjoy of pressing to the
very foremost place in the rank of cities
with we'll endowed and capitally man
aged institutions for the free education of
the young. While it is our duty to tax
ourselves literally to this end-and, the
man who would grumble against any
school tax, the proceeds of which are
honestly and judiciously expended, is
without soul,-we should combine,
with might and main, to open the eyes of
Congress to their duty with reference to
this subject. While the Constitution, in
the opinion of many, forbids the expendi-
ture of money from the Treasury of the
United States upon schools for any other
than strictly Government purposes, in the
different States, no one denies the Consti-
tutional right to make such expenditures
in the District of Columbia. The ques-
ton, therefore, is one of simple justice,
wisdom and propriety. We have, there
fore, only to satisfy Congress that it will
be we'll for them to do in this case what
they all believe they can rightfully do, if
they please.
If the General Government would per-
NIT its real and personal estate within the
District of Columbia to be taxed, pro rata
with the property of private individuals,
for school purposes, nothing more would
be required. The sum which would an
nually be raised after that fashion would
prove more than sufficient, when added to
the aggregate paid by our citizens, to
render the public schools of Washington
and Georgetown the very first in the
world, in the advantages they would
afford for the thorough and accomplished
education of the children of all classes in
the community alike. Our fellow-citi-
zens should hold meeting and appoint
a committee of intelligent, popular and
persevering men, to be charged with the
duty of attending to this subject before
Congress next winter. ,..-..

The Politico-Religious Excitement"
that now prevails to considerable extent
in some parts of this country, attracts the
attention of the Baltimore Sun. In MOTTO
ing this subject the editor offers some ju-
dicious and timely remarks. The Sun
says, of those engaged in the business of
fomenting civil discord by agitating the
religious element of society
There are comparatively few persons
happily for the general welfare-engaged di-
rectly in the matter; though a considerably
and audacious provocation of interested par
ties, to incline to one side or the other in mo-
ment of excitement Still, the masses arc un-
affected; and, in short time, the usually
judicious and rejecting portion of those who
yield to the temporary excitement presently
reduce the issue to its just political and social
value. and pursue the even tenor of their way
1t is then left, as an exhausted hobby and, in
the hands of those who have ridden it, serves
only in the passion of their disappointment,
to expose the fanaticism, the ignorance, the
malevolence, or tho cupidity by which each
individual, or party has been actuated'i
Ihe upper IS very severe IN Its remarks
in reply to Governor loves card, pub
lished in the Sunyesterday morning. This
is the result of all religious controversies.
They end in gross personalities, anger
and strife. 1t would have been far better
in the Governor to have let the remarks
of the Clipper pass unnoticed. No one
who knows Governor Lowe, would for
moment suspect his exercise of the par
doning power of being influenced by relig-
ious prejudice. He is honorable, high
minded and liberal in all his opinions.
His history proves this. He cannot
therefore expect to make anything in a
controversy with the editor of a sectarian
journal. r.

Chief Justice fancy was was about to die,
and therefore ceased looking after the bird
in the hand, to spread lime to catch the
bird in the bush which soon flew away
Some twenty or thirty Marylanders were
here managing in order to direct the dis
position of the chief justiceship not yet
vacant. Their pulling and hauling was
done so openly, and some of their candi-
dates were so ridiculously unfit for the
position as to create great disgust here,
generating Discrimination even towards
those whose aspirants were decidedly well
qualified and in all respects worthy. Just
now, VIM. F. Giles, Esq, is regarded as
likely to receive the appointment, because
he is evidently better qualified for the po-
sition than any other who so far aspires
to it. .r.......-
THE HON. WIN. II. STILES, of Georgia,
has been here for few days. He is no
applicant for Office, however. Mr. S. is
the gentleman who was sent by MIR. Polk
Administration to Vienna. It will be
remembered that since his return he has
published book on Austria, which met
the severe animadversion of Young Amer
lea. He went north to day to attend the
opening of the Crystal Palace. We are
inclined to believe that he is after the Hon.
Howell Cobb with sharp (political)
stick; Mr.. c. having gone on by sea to
be there at that time. MIR. Stiles is a
Southern Rights leader, of course. The
President and Mr.. Cobb are not person
ally acquainted. We predict that their
meeting in New York will result in strong
personal friendship between them,for their
symp.thies run in the same channel upon
