The FLORIDA Fnscc.-The Florida expe-
ditiop, which was so roughly handled the
other day at place called Olustee as to re-
suit In disastrous defeat, WIS, 1t appears,
another Of those unfortunate military sdven-
lures for VIII CHI President Lincoln Is directly
responsible. TWAS supposed that only few
hundred rebels were left in Florida, and that a
Few Union regiments would be ample for the
work Of their subjugation. Under this idea
General Gilmore was ordered to try the ex-
pertinent Of the complete liberation Of Florida;
and the results Of the adventure are indicated
in this defeat Of our troops ct Olustee. We
can only hope that we shall ct least derive one
great advantage from it: in the abandonment
hereafter Of these little side expeditions which
involve the sacrifice Of men, artillery time and
money for nothing, while they diminish the
strength of our armies at points Of the greatest
importance. Surely, after this melancholy af-
fair at Olustee, President Lincoln should trust
little moro to his generals and a little less to
his own peculiar notions as q military leader.
He may possibly treat the upshot Of this
Florida campaign as good joke; but it is to
be hoped that he;will accept it asa warning
against any further dAbbling in such wild
goose chasee.

country ought to be represented in Congress
by better class Of men than those who now
hold that position. The present Representa-.
tives are utterly incompetent for the discharge
of their duties; and, besides this, they have for
sworn the principles upon which they were
elected These Representatives were chosen In
1862, under movement which had grown up
in the year and half preceding, and origi-
mating among the war democracy. The
platform was that the rebellion must be
put down in the most vigorous manner,
The elections of that year were carried
by the conservatives, in opposition to
the radicals, and members Of Congress were
elected generally under the above idea; but pri-
vately, by arrangements between Mozart and
Tammany, the grounds upon which the delega-
ton from this city was chosen were violated.
immediately after the election the Woods OF
this city, in connection with partisans Of q
similar stripe in Connecticut, started q move
ment in violation Of the principles upon which
they achieved Success in 1882 and what was
the consequence They were defeated the next
year. In 1868 the political condition was the
same as in 1852, but with this difference:
the leaders had unmarked themselves, and
the people saw how they had been cheated.
The result might readily have been anticipated.
The people voted down the pretenders and i'm
posters, repudiatcd their temporizing, tamper-
ing policy, and pronounced in favor OF an open,
uudsguiscd and unconditional prosecution OF
the war and the maintenance Of the integrity
Of the Union against all ASSISTANTS.
What prospects have the citizens of the me-
tropolis for change in their Congressional
representation What chances have they to
replace such imbeciles and mischermakcrs as
comprise the present delegation by true hon :
est, able and sound men? We say the chances
are very good. We have witnessed how the
people came out in the last municipal election
and Frustrated both factions OF Tammany and
Mozart by the triumphant election OF Mayor
Gunthor. And We believe that the managers
Of both these wings OF the democracy have
become so corrupt so mean, so dangerous, and
the honest and respectable men Of the party 90
disgusted With their. cbiGsnery and juggling
and party jobbing, that the entire delegation
from the city proper-composed OF the two
Woods, Brooks Herrick, Ward and Chanler-
can be swept from the board next fall,
aud honest and capable men put IN theIt
places. The time has arrived for the citizens
Of New York TO begin to consider this very i'm
portant matter. Tanmany Hall, in cutting
loose from the reckless mock peace conspIrs
tors Of Mozart, Is now in position to redeem
her rogucres and corriptions Of the last forty
years, Let Tamnany now make common cause
with the taxpayers and the honest and respect
able classes Of this community, and tho New
York city delegation In the next Congress may
be an honor to all concs-ned. II 10 already
time to begin the work 80 that the fall Of s64
may show q Congressional front worthy the
dignity and honor of the metropolis Of the

THE REMOVAL OF GENERAL KELLEY.-It APP
pears that General Kelley has been super
seeded In his command in Western Virginia
by the appointment of General Sigel to I'LL it,
The reasons for this change, on military grounds,
we cannot understand. General Kelley has
proved himself an able, courageous, vigilant
and successful soldier, and he is thoroughly
acquainted with all the holes and corners Of
that wild, dificult, mountainous region, In
which since the beginning Of the war he has
been operating. From q letter published else
where, 1t will be seen that his removal has
given great dissatisfaction to the people Of
Western Virginia. The appointment Of Gen.
Sigel to supersede Gen. Kelley suggests that this
change has been made as sort Of Presidential
peace offering to the Germans; but it comes
rather late in the day. As q specimen Of Old
Abe's political tactics, however, that move
ment is rather interesting. If General Free
mont can be appeased with the commission Of
lieutenant general now is his time to put in
his claims.

IMMORTALITY IN OuR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Only q
short time since, as our readers will remember,
Investigations in the Board Of Education
brought TO tight some very improper relations
between . member Of that Board and teacher
in one Of our public schools. Then the Board
of Education did what little 1t could do In tho
case of that member by his immediate expul-
sion. But there is reason to believe that the
labors OF the Board In the same direction only
began with that case. Before our schools are
what they ought to be there will probably
have to be many more Investigations by the
Board OF Education In relation to It's own
members, and in relation to the conduct Of
school trustees.
An accidental discovery made by boy in
Rome brought to the knowledge Of the au-
thorties of that city for the first time the hor-
rible debauchcries pf l6e Bacchanalian orgies
that then were found to ramify under the whole
social crust Of the city Apparently this recent
exploitation in relation to our public schools
will have somewhat the same effect We are
in receipt Of communications on this subject
which tend to show that our public schools,
intended as such magnificent establishments
for public education, are, many Of them, only
magnificent harems for the qualification Of the
Iibidinous wretches in whose charge they may
chance to be. We have been assured that the
woman who went to Jamaica with the member
from the Thirteenth ward did no worse than
is constantly done by others Of our schools, and
that the REIMBURSEMENT OF virtue is 10 some
quarters almost an acknowledged price OF posi-
ton and advancement.
All this is Q necessary consequence Of the
way ID which our school officers are chosen
To find man Of education or position nomi-
mated as School Trustee is the rarest Of excep.

belongs. and to appear before the Auxiliary
Clergymen's Committee for examination as to
her character and qualifications. That CON-
mittee consists of the following gentlemen:
Rev. o. b. rockingham, Rev. George Whipple'
Rev. Prof. John w. Lindsey, Rev. Nathan
Brown, Rev. J. r. w. Sloane, Rev Prof. Henry
b. Smith, and the Rev. Henry blanchard. Inc
schools TO which reference is made are under the
immediate supervision Of the Rev. Mr.. French,
tho Rev. Mr. James, and the Rev. DR.. Barrows.
A number Of the teachers are the wives, daugh-
tors sisters and near relatives Of the clergymen
in charge Of the schools. Not one word OF CON-
plant in relation to the moral character of the
teachers has over been made to tho Examining
Board. II is not even true that there are sixty
four teachers employed at Port Royal or on the
adjacent islands Tho number is but forty-six.
And in addition to tho names above given, we
are authorized TO say that FRANCIS GEORGE
SHAW, President Of the National Freedmen's
Relief Association; EDGAR KBTCHUM, Core
spending Secretary, and JOSEPH b. COLLINS,
Treasurer, mdorse tho character Of these
teachers.
If any one thinks we treat this matter too
seriously, and that libel so transparently
false and malicious deserves no refutation, let
him consider the cruel wrong done to these in
nocent, pure Christian women, who took upon
themselves the labor Of educating the cmancl.
pated blacks, who have made all sacrifices in
their humane and generous efforts for a despiscd
race, and who are nevertheless held up to Scorn
by these unprincipled and unmanly slandcrers.
We cannot believe that even the conductors of
the journals who have printed the story can
reflect on their conduct without shame and re-
greet To wantonly make such charge against
women to give it the publicity Of newspaper
circulaton-it is new revelation Of the base
ness Of human nature. which we should like to
forget as soon "a possible. Meanwhile we de-
mand that those who have done the wrong shall
do what they can 10 atone for it by prompt
and unequiyocal contradiction.

A HORRIBLE sLANDER.

The following is from The Ne,c- Hamp,hiy. Pa.
trio', aCopperhead Democratic paper:
"Prvsts sayices from Port Royal say the female Abolition
lists vho went TO Port Royao teach the s n,sysr how 10
read and pray have been obliged within the past few month,

ery Billing, Lieutenant Colonel Of the lat South Caron,
Regiment who ia here in Consequence Of III health He say.
It is SD truth"
We reluctantly copy this paragraph in order
to pronounce il falsehOod, and to say that ii
is 80 absurd and so wicked that neither the
oihcer-h any such there be-wh0 first coined
the lie, nor the Rev. Liberty Billings, who is
said to have confirmed it, nor The Patriot, which
first printed it, nor any one of tho many Cop.
perhead papers which have lately circulated it,
nor any one bliDdeSt negro-hater who has read
it, can possibly have believed it TO be anything
but On Infamous SANDER without shadow of
foundation or excuse.
We demand Of The Patriot the name Of the
officer who is alleged to have told the story. We
demand Of the Rev. Liberty Billings that he
shall publicly affirm or deny the statement Of
The Patriot that he confirmed the falsehood.
We demand of the journals which have copied
1t, that they shall give equal publicity to the
contradiction.

THE CATHOLIC PRESS AND
SLAVERY.

At the outbreak Of the Rebellion, Bfownsons
Quarterly Review was almost the only advocate
of an Anti-Slavery policy among all the
Catholic journals. The great majority Oh them
were violently opposing every Anti-Slayery
measure of the Government, and acting in con-
cert with the ultra Peace faction Of the North
ern Democracy. But the progress of the war
has wrought among them several conversions.
III. Cincinnati Telegraph, tho organ OF Arch
bishop Purcell was the first to come over TO the
Anti.Slayery party, and to admit and even to
urge the necessity of aboli5hing Slavery through
out the United States. lis example has recently
been followed by The EnirerSe, the Catholic
paper of philadelphia, hitherto violent Demo-
cratic and anti-Administration sheet. In late
ISSUE this paper admits that the peace OF the
Republic demands the abolition Of Slavery;
that the national current in favor Of abolition
grows steadily stronger and has become ire
sistible, and that il would be absurd to attempt
to oppose it, 1t therefore gives to the Irish
Democrats the sensible advice TO accept cheer
fully what they are unable to undo. We note
the conversions as signs Of the times.
