Using an early resumption. The education
Of the youth Of the country has been una
voidably neglected, but the opportunity is
now offered to make whatever amends is
possible, for the loss Of four Of the best years,
to many, for cultivating their minds and &C
curing knowledge.
Scarcity Of money should not be pleaded
in this case. Teachers need food, raiment
and other things, which Farmers, Merchants
and Mechanics can furnish. IF the money
must, in some cases, be paid for tuition, surely
the amount, thus devoted for educating the
youth, is not thrown away. It is giving
them fortune which can not be lost, squan-
dered, stolen or destroyed--it is the best
legacy the parent can bequeath to the child.
Virginia is endeavoring to resume her
place Ia the Union. She must be represented
in its Legislative Halls hereafter as hereto

her quota. If education is not impeded she
will. We, therefore, say to ALL educate the

THK removal of SIMEON DRAPKR, Col
lector of New York, and the appointment
of Hon. PRESTON KMG as his successor, is
regarded by the Herald as proof that
President JOHNSON is determined to carry
out his policy in regard to the Southern
States, and intends that no subordinate
officials shall he retained who attempt to
throw obstacles in it's way. Other jour-
mails say the change has no political signi6-
canoe whatever. Mr.. KMe is warm per-
sonsl friend of the President, stood by
him like brother during his "incoheren.
cy," and it is only natural that Mr.. JOHN
SON should give him a substantial token Of
his regard. The collectorship OF New
York is the best Office in the country. II
is stated that Mr.. DRAPER has received
over 100000 the past year.

bsae Washington Correspondence. 20
Here is confession of what has been
obvious for long time, that deliberate
efforts have been made to embitter the
North by incorporating the state Of
public feeling at the South, in order to
keep the Southern States out of the On.
ion. The telegraph, is daily burthened
with accounts OF outrages on negroes that
never occurred, and Of prevalent disloyal
sentiments that were never uttered, and
have no existence save IN the brains Of
miserable camp followers, who know their

ksv dsys ago We had dispatch rom
Warrington that "the President has DE-
..-,,;nsd as soon as practicable to with
S-av the orders suspending the privileges
- the writ of habeas corpus, and to dis
nanse with military courts"
The same dispatch, with slight var'a-
tons. has been given to the country
hundred times in ss many days. but the
military tribunals are still at work. and the
the habeas corpus is abrogated in every
State of the Union. And the most dis
coursging thing in regard to this business
is the tact that, with few honorable eEcep-
tons, the conventions and organs OF the
dominant party utter no protests against
these encroachments on the rights OF the
people. One of these exceptions Is the
MilNsnkee Sentinel, the leading Repuoh-
cal, .sohrnal of Wisconsin. This journal
apprebends that men in Office have found
the exercise of arbitrary power SO con-
venient that they hesitate about giving 1t
I'D. 1t says it is the duty of the press OF
the whole country to expose such abuses
OF power. The Democratic papers will OF
course condemn it.; but President JOHNSON
may suspect them of being partisan in
their view of the question. If, however,
the Union press Of tho country demand
that, war having ceased, the government
shall restore to the people of the loyal
States, at least, their old rights of personal
liberty, the administration can hardly 70
fuse such q reasonable demand.
We hope the Republican presses and
politicians Of this State viii take the right
: ground upon this important question, b,
utssring manly protests against al intrac'
tons Of personal liberty BY the sdninis'

KELLEY had q radical estate made up Of

day evening Of last week, the ex-Secretary
was serenaded by the friends Of the ap-
pointees, when he read the city represent
tatives!a lecture, as follows:
Permitting these gentlemen to dictate to the
President whom he shall appoint, is giving the
whole power Of the Executive to them. Il Is
very proper for them when asked for their
opinious to give them, but they must not at
tempt to force them upon the Executive of the
country. There was time, and within my
memory, too, when the term member of Con-
gress from Philadelphia was synonymous with
greatness. In those days members were too
proud to l0iter about the Departments in

with little app0lntments--wlth one vote IN the

This speech resulted in furious on

signature. KELLEY charges CAMERON with
frauds upon the Indians thirty years ago,
and q continued career of corruption and
bribery. The ssloyal people" of Pennsyl-

IS they DO Those Things Better q
Rfanee.Ss s9s

A correspondent Of the New York 7Ti-
bssse, writing from Paris, records with
great apparent satisfaction, the fact that
in the recent elections in France, NAPoGs-
eu did not ace fit to interfere. he did
not even notify the voters, through bis
Projects, the names of the candidates
whom he preferred, as has been customary
heretofore. With u.s. with the Democrats
out of power only a very few years, the
drift is in the other direction. The &C
counts of the interference of the military
in the re cent elections in Kentucky and
Tennessee, show that Federal bayonete
controlled the ballot boxes, and that citi-
1ens who voted at all could not vote
against Administration candidates without
having life or limb endangered, or being
grossly insulted.
