Commercial gnteIIigente.

Thursday Evening, May g. 1866
CoTToN-Inactivity is still the leading feature of
The market. The demand and supply continue
restricted, and prices exhibit but little if any var
alton. The upward movement in Exchange Of
eourse tends to strengthen the market, but opera
lions are Of too restricted a character to justify
any quotable alteration in rates, and the move
rnent must still be reported at 30@3lc. for good
ordinary, and 33@35c. for low middling, which are
The only grades in special request. Operations to-
day have been confined to $50 bales, divided
among eight buyers, and the market, as for severa
days past, was too unsettled to obtain general Or
Reliable quotations.

THE DEGENERAcY OF OUR STATESMEN. The
Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, in commenting on the Stockton case in
the Senate, thus speaks of the perfdy of Senator
Morrill,
The radicals have been thwarted in their attempt
to enforce the first act of their programme, which
was to deprive Mr.. Stockton Of his seat in the SEN
ate. The contest was the closest ever witnessed
in the Senate. On the first call of the roll the vote
stood 81 for retaining him to 20 for ousting him
Mr.. Morrill,. of Maine, had paired off with Mr..
Wright, of New Jersey and, for the sake of secur-
ing partisan end, voluntarily broke what he
termed his parole ofhonor, and voted in the mega
tive. This tied the vote. The proposition being
affirmative in its character it required majority
to sustain it-a tie killed it. Mr.. Stockton Justly
felt that Mr.. Morrill's fragrant breach of honor
warranted him in voting in his own case, and he
demanded of the clerk to call his name, he having
refused to vote in the first call This passed the
resolution, and declared Mr.. Stockton legally
elected Mr.. Morril's conduct is the subject of
general and untav0rable comment Thatin body
which the people Of this country have been taught
to revere as composed of the wisest and most hon
orabe men OF the nation, there should have been
found one willing to commit an act of base perfdy
to achieve mere party purpose, is a fact that
marks IN q singular degree the depeneraCy of
American craftsmanship. Twenty years ago such
tlagrant breach of honor would not have been
tolerated in the Senate, even by the party for
whose advancement there was one ready to saeri-
flee his reputation Clay and Webster would have
seorned to purchase victory by such an act of
treachery. But, as matters now stand, Mr. Morrill,
will no doubt occupy higher niche in the temple
of party fame and he will not be the less admired
because his dshonor failed to achieve the desired
result. Men are promoted nowadays for acts
which in the good old days of the republic would
have damned them to everlasting infamy Hence
we find the Ben Buffers, and the Forneys, and the
Judge Kelleys, who few years ago were the sup
pie tools slavery and the savehOIding oligarchy,
are now the great high priests in the temple Of
freedom, and the halls of Congress are gradually
being converted into Magdelene asylum for po-
lticaI prostitutes.

EDUCATIONAL.

No. l. COMMON ScHooLa-Our present system
of Common Schools is based upon the idea that
Education should be the common inheritance of all
the youth of the State. The State undertakes to
educate its own children; and truly it can be
queath no richer legacy than Education. Its ben
efits can not be over estimated The school sys-
tenn affords the mems to accomplish this noble OBJ
iect, and places them within the reach of all-the
poor as well as the rich. Ii does not offer educa-
ton as git affords to all alike the opportunity OF
acquiring it. If any remain in ignorance it is be
cause they do not accept the benefits within their
reach. And it is lamentoble fact that all do
not aocept-that many in 'our own County
growing up in comparative ignorance, not
withstanding all the pains taken to educate
them. 4 large number entitled to school benefits
attend only in the Winter term-many of these SO
irregularly as to scarcely hold their own"--while
others do not even have their names enrolled upon
the Report book There is a wrong somewhere.
We believe owing more TO the fault of the parents
than Of the children. The latter often kept AT
home, or in the streets, because, at school, they
are required to submit to some kind Of restraint.
and their parents encourage them in so doing. The
remedy to this evil must be applied to society. To
do this there must be a stronger p1jic sentiment IN
favor of Intelligence Do you ask how this is to
be awakened? BY agitatation by calling the at
tention of the people to their oca interests by dis
cussing educational matters, by holding education
al meetings. and Teachers Associations. Scatter
the school-law, and educational reading, among the
people. Ask Of your lawmakers that intelligence
be made q requisite to tranchsement. Let the
Pres reiterate the truth that the future happiness
of our country depends upon the proper education
of the young Yes. Keep it before the people
that ignorance is Synonymous with crime. What a
vast improvement in public sentiment might be
brought about, if every newspaper IN the State
would devote one column TO educational interests,
The eleven would then come in contact with the
s.whole lump" Our Common Schools, the Press,
and the Pulpit are the three great levers upon
which we must rely for the elevation OF Society.
These levers should work in perfect harmony Let
there be unity of effort. Although our school sys-
TEN is accomplishing much, there is much to ac
complish. Let the friends of this system strive
remove every ''hindering cause to its full effici
encv. Now that this cruel war is over" let US
try to impart to our educational machinery, an &C.
ceerated motion. Move direct upon the enemies
works" aud ignorance must begin to eapitulate

THE sNOWDRUP.

Welcome to earth white snowdrop, once again
Welcome below the budding hedge
Welcome in woods that overledge
The rocky streamlet murmuring down the glen
Welcome to gardens and abodes of men.
Thy maiden leaflets, touched with spots of green
Like tiptoe-prints of timid Spring,
Tpon snow new fallen bring
Rsfreshing pleasure to the eyes, l ween,
That weary of the winters cold white sheen.
Thou vast the first in Natures mind to lie,
Before she wrought the gorgeous flowers
Of golden Summers garden bowers,
r~e June disclosed to view earth's canopy
Of Hght and azure mixed in harmony
As if She chose thee for the New-Year's brow,
To tempt her maids to initiate
And learn how comely simple state
rpon the virgins slender form doth show,
md lead to ripened woman's stateher glow.
Cslm-lipped, notwithstanding Charity,
Whom in the unseen homes above,
The clear-eyed angels greet as Love,
Whoc'er may guard thy sisterhood, must be
The sister hidden to keep watch DER thee;
For we discern those amy forms, that tend
The fragrant lives Of bell and bud
On hill or dale, or greeu-edged food,
BY the peculiar thought which each doth send
into our hearts, as Ger the leaves we bend.

1t is gratifying to sec that there was Il
show of i~nlcpcndcncc, as well as Juice, IN
the United States Senate near the close "i
the session in the case OF Senator TAT
r,,c,> from Tennessee. The Senate had
consented 10 a modification of the test
oath to meet Mr.. P~ATTEEsoN's case, and
adopted Il jointrcsolution for hiSadmiSSlon
This resolution, the reader knows, was
sent to the House and that body rejected
il Indignantly. Members of that body
sworc bitterly against any qualification or
| mitigation Of the test oath. Mr.. STELLA
p,RGER "would not till his dying day"
Weld a title of it.. Mr.. STOKES, of Ten
ncsScc, who had himself Just been per-
mi,tcd to Toll upon the red cushioned
chairs as Il full Representative, said he
would keep the test oath "as a flaming
sword" to guard the loyalty Of the nation.
The same Mr.. STOKES in lSGl counSellcd
armed resistance to Mr.. LINroIN'S mea-
surc>, Other members were alike bitter,
and the resolution was rejected.
The Senate, however, dctcrinlhcugt DC
the Judge of the qualifications OF its own
members: and on Saturday took up the
case of Mr.. PATTERSON, and without pay
luz any attention to the action Of the
House, by IL decisive majority, declared
Mr.. Patterson entitled to his seat. That
gentleman thrnto"k the oath as moditicdhy
| the Senate to suit his case, and was duly II
member Of tie Senate.
The matter is important in Il double
sense. 1t i an act Of independence,
crcditahlc 10 the Senate, by which 1t as
>crts its v jurisdiction as to the lnaliii-
cation of its own members and II makes
a breach in the test oath that destroys its
i~nyiolahility. 1t is indeed a fatal blow at
that invention Of tyranny.

wc have heard that the friends of JEFF
fcrson Davis profess their ability to over
throw the testimony of tho witness Lewis
+. Bates. Bates, it will he remembered,
swore that when the dispatch Of General
Breckenridge announcing the assassination
of Mr.. lincoln vas received by Davis lie
remarked swell, General, | don't know
that if it wtrc done at all, ii were better
that it were well done, and if the same
had been done to Andrew Johnson, the
beast, and Secretary Stanton, the job
would be complctcd.' Davi,'s coniidants
bclieveit can be proved that Bates was not
about at the time the telegram from Brcck-
inridgc was received. They assert that
on hearing the news he, singularly, made
! no remark. Both versions have points OF
curiosity. One thing, however, is not de-
nicd-that Davis was in proper person at
Bates's house in Charlottesville on the day
of the dispatch.-N,c York Trt5""e.
The 7frbune had this Bates story in its
issue of Saturday, and repeated it as above
on Monday-in both cases LOCATING The
scene of TIC conversation at Crxlottcs-
| vile. Everybody here knows that Mr..
Davis did not 90 to Charlottesville when
Richmond was evacuated, but to DanyIi!".
Greensboro is the place meant. But per-
lcctly reliable gentlemen have declared
that no such conversation took place be-
tween Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Breckenridge. II
is hardly worth while to notice these silly
SANDERS. They arc used by the Radicals
as political capital. Their truth or ialoity
is a question in which Forncy and histrihc
feel no interest.

More Kidnapping Of Freedmen.

The Navy Department has received in

1t is a curious history this Of the negro
and the policy pursued toward him by the
predominant party AT the North, which
now pretty much represents New England
| alone. First, they made money by import
ing the negro from his native land and en-
shaving him. Then they got rid of him,
when they found he "did'nt pay" by
selling him; next, they took him from
those to whom they sold him, without com
pcnSation; and finally, after setting him
free, uudcrashe prctcXt that he is by some
body to be enslayed again, they determine
to send paid agents to look after his rights
in the South; and in this way they carve
| out SiaecurtS without number, involving an
| expenditure oftwelvc or fifteen millions OF
dollars per annum This is, indeed, a Gu
rious history. Every phase of it puts money
into the pockets of the Radicals. Even
the attempt of their WI people now to
make money by selling the persons they
have freed again into slavery becomes an
argument fer more vigilance, more s'1"-
cares, more treasury PAP.

In the report of the foreign new brought

middle of last week the Italian fleet en-
gagged the Austrian fleet oil the island Of
LISA, a fortified naval station of Austria
on the eastern side Of the Alriatic, and
that after Il sharp conflict the Austrian
ships were victorious, sinking one and
blowing up three Of the Italian iron-clads.

this engagement, states the following facts
"Thc best OF the Italian iron-clads were

diturc of something LEES than 500, 600 900
about onc-third Of the expenditure of the

than the House bill, but bad enough. BY
it a hundred millions will be disburscd
altogether at the North, the South paying
her part and receiving nothing. 1t is gra-
tifying to learn that the second section of
the bill is imperative and may affect the
whole.

The President was shrewd enough to
discover in the bill erecting Montana into
u surveying district u trick to enrich Il New
York iron mining and manufacturing com
pany. The bill secured to that company
eighteen odd sections Of land ut one dollar
and twenty-five cents per acre. These
sections were no doubt rich in minerals.
The bill was chiefly designed for the benefit
Of the company, and was justly vetoed.
