who are the RuIiBE Class In this Country
The New York Times in commenting
on an article in the London Spectator
which maintains that the small free hold
ers cuItivssiug the soil, and not the inhsb-
itants Of cities, are really the governing
class in this country, makes confession
not more true than just. Itssys:
81 We Of the cities, where great deal Of
the froth AMI clsmor Of American society
comes to the surface, do net always real
Ike that sitter all we are scarcely more
than bubbles on the great stream Of Ameri.
csn life. The deep oJntrolling current
flows below in the silent farming and
rural classes. Except through her press,
New York, for instance, has very little in
huence in the agricultural communities.
0ne only needs to travel awhile in the
vast farming districts Of the West to re-
alise how insign fcsnt, after all, is this
great commercial City. The "fsrmers,"
as the London journal rightly judges, ,hsva
shsped the policy, through its whole his
tory, OF the Republican and Union party /;
they have in fact framed its platform, and
il is they who feed tho armies and who
will determine hew long the war shall be
carried on. They govern the Republic"
1t is certainly true thst the pure and
healthy minded people of the rural dis
tricts are the graf reservoirs whence
cities draw their best men, whether in
business, in law, or in politics. While
cities through their presses and their
eminent men in the various professions,
have much to do in educating the masses
Of the people, it is yet true that the truest,
nOblest impulses come gushing from the
fountain heads of character thstsre found
among the stern yeomsnry Of the country.
To them The Republic is indebted for the
heroic faith which sustains her in the hour
of sorest trial and graastest peril.

Frsmsnt On CenfseniIon.

General Frenont's dissent from the
confscstion resolution adopted by his con.
venlion is noticeable ss showing q charge
Of opinion on his part in the direction Of
conservatism. When he undertook to an
ticipate and dictate the policy Of the Gov
ernment in his famous Missouri proclama-
tion of August 1851, he not only ordered
that all dislo7sl persons taken with arms
In their hands should be oourtmsrtisled
and shot, but that the property Of the dis
loyal should be eonfscsted and their
slaves freed. The President asked him to
modify this order so as to conform to the
confscstion law passed by Congress, but
Fremont declined to do SO, and the Presi-
dent himself modified the order. That
part Of it which provided for the shooting
Of prisoners taken In the State. Fremont
himself withdrew, and by compact with
the rebel General Price it was agreed that
al citizens taken prisoners, for opinions
sake, on either side should bs released.
This was sn error on the other extreme,
and General Hunter snnulled it immedi.
ately after superseding Fremont.-SPring.

The EchHOI Scandal in New York City.
Nothing illustrates the necessity Of bav.

tons in connection with cur public schools
batter than the recent sAsqefal develop
ments in Now York city. Thst positions
as teachers should become q subject Of
diekering By the ignOrmuses of drinking

matter Of sstonishment and disgust, and
yet such had become the condition Of af-
fairs in the schools Of the 4th Ward Of New
York city. Certain school officers we're in
the habit Of selling schools to the teachers
that would pay them best. Some candi
dates paid S75. Some others paid out Of
their salaries $40 per month. 81 paid the

would be necessary to psy from $40 to 500
to secure it." These are sufficient speci-
mems Of columns Of similar testimony,
which need not be repeated.
The Tribune, in commenting upon this
foul, lOathsOme, rottenness of morals, says:
We cannot help feeling, when such a
piece Of Eillainy as this is unearthed, that
it would be waste Of time to dig any
deeper, in the wild hope Of turni. up
something even a little more despicable.

have seen the servants Of the city alley-
ing the itch Of their palms by thrusting
them so far into the municipal Golfers as
to hide their lsroenous elbows. We might
have afforded all this-we might have

s.dre Of the Government.
Until its Redemption, five per cent. interest il

Its Exemption from State or Local Taxation

As Rule, the five per cent. specie securities
of ali solvent Governments are always par or

FORMING LEADER.

The gueat enterprise Of connecting the
continents BY telegraph line crossing at
Behring's Straits is rspidly taking shape.
The Senate Committee on Commerce has
reported 8 bill in its favor, snd any one
Who has read the able letter Of Mr.. Seward
showing its value and possibility must
desire its speedy passage. Ths bill pro-
vides principally as follows;
1t grants to Mr. Ccllins and bis assO-
oistes the right Of way over any unOeou-
pied lands in tho Usited States, with a
quarter section feE every fifteen miles Of
telegraph, and tbey are also allowed to
run steamer on the Pacifc coast for the
use of the line. 1t is further stipulated
that II the work is constructed within Eve
years, the Secretary Of State, 0 the United
States, shsll contract for tho use of the
line, for ten years ensuing, by the execu.
tive, legislative aud Judicial departments
Of the Government, for which use pay
ment Of fifty thousand dOlIa.rs per year
will be made.

Of the Amoor River, through Asiatio
Russia, and along the west coast Of British

mated st six thousand and forty miles,
At the mouth Of the AmoOr it is 10 con-
meet with q line built By the Russian
Government extending from Petersburg TO
the Pacific. or this trunk line 1000
miles sre already completed east Of Pc
tersburg and the remainder soon will be-.
Secretary Seward tells the Senate that
"the line projected by Alr. Collins, from
the Pacific telegraph to the AmoOr river,
with its anticipated extension by the Rus
sian Government to Irkoaisk, would be
the one link now wanted to supply direct
and unbroken telegraph Communication
from Cape Race, in Newfoundland, on the
eastern coast Of America, across the East
ern and Western Contirents and the Paoi-
fs Ocean te Cape Clear in Ireland, the
WestermOst projsstion Of Europe" He
then adds that sWhen submarine cable
shsn be successfully laid between Cape
Clear and Cape Rscs, it viii, together with
the link I have last before described, COM
plets photographic circuit around the earth
between the parallels of fOrty-twO degrees
and sixty degrees north latitude"
This shows the immense Importance Of
Mr.. Collins project, which will net only,
as he says, unite Europe to America, but
add the whole Of Asis, including japan,
China and India, by means Of the lateral
branches which the Russian Government
will be Induced to extend in various d.
rectiOns from lis great main line from St
Petersburg to the Pacific.

drowning democracy. The New York

DEAFNESS. CAFARRH,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THs
EAR, THROAT AND AIR PASSAGE
From the Home Journal, June 4, 1864.

From the Home Journal, June 4, 1854.
In every business or profession, indeed in ev-
cry department Of science or skin, there is al
ways some acknowledged hesd-some one who
stands out in bcld relief among his fellows, as q
sort Of leader in the study and treatment o
deafness and catsrrh, as special diseases. DR..
E. B. LIGHTHILL, Of this City, occupies just
the position above described. DE has devoted
years ofIabor TO this speciality, and isnow reap
ing the reward Of his industry, The editorial
columns Of the Tribune, Of = late date, bear wit
ness To the doctors success in this department
Of medicine. We quote the paragraph;
"CURE OF DEAF MUTE.-Louis Loewein-
STEIN a lad II years of age, born in Germany,
came to this city when he was about two years
old Soon after his arrival here he was taken
sick and lost his hearing BY degrees ne became
first deaf and then dumb. For arly ten years
he was a mute unable to hear the loHdest voice,
or to articulate . word. About one year
AGO be was placed by his parents IN
the hands of DIR. LIGHTHILL, who has so far,
succeeded IN restoring TO him his lost pOp ers of
hearing and utterance that he can converse with
tho q who speak to him distinctly and delibet-
ately During the past four or hye months he
has been under the tuition of Mr.. Bennecke and
has made considerable progress IN reading and
arifhemetie."
Having been supplied with the lads address
wefurther investigated the matter, and diseov-
cred that, previous to calling on DR.. Lighthill,
the youths case vas considered hopeless, and
he was for two years an inmate Of the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum. The Rev John Mott, D. D., Pre-
fessor in Union College, Schenectady, in Puo-
lshed letter, tenders his gratitude to DIR. Light
hill, for treating successfully his case Of deaf
ness. Rev. Fred. 8. Jewell, Professor of the
State Normal School at Albany, also testifes TO
having been cured Of catarrh. DR.. Lighthlll
possesses other written testimonials and tn
butes to his talent frem some of our wealthiest
and most prominent anu respected citizens
which may be seen on application. It would be
difficult TO speak in any but terms Of praise Of
his treatment, in the face Of these many proofs
and facts testfying to his success.
