The Paducai, KY, Herald has discovered
that it is great mistake to educate the freed
men. Even to restrict their instruction to
reading and writing would ruin them for labor.
Moral and religious culture, it thinks. lis all
that any laborer reqnasss, and all that any
country afford to give For help III
carrying out this delightful policy, the Hesutd
looks to the right source. AID from the
quarter it mentions can readily be secured for
keeping the workingman in ignorance. The
Herald says: "keutucky has taken some in
cipient foolish steps on this subject. We
hope the Democratic party will have sense
enough to repeal all such laws. and hereafter
view and act for the negro for exactly what he
is-laborer. ''-Ctacinnoti gazette.

following sharp sentences:
"What are American writer's doing to-day?

tinctive work? Barring Mr.. Longfellow' 4
translations of Dante, we'know Of nothing
that is likely to bring any credit to our itera-
ture. Mrs. Stowe and Gail Hamilton seem
TO have exhausted their stock of originality
Bancroft lets the History of the United
States drag along with no encouragement Of

reached the limit of their power and genius
They have passed from the stage. Even
Brownell, Boxer and Leland are dumb. From
Mr.. Tucker we have volume OF essays-only

theme, and Headley has disappeared at about
the same time with j. 8. c. Abbott. Not
even the recent war finds a worthy historian,
or q poet. In tact, the literary field was
never so barren, never SO utterly without hope
or life. Meanwhile Sylvanus Cobb, Mrs.

boundless opportunity, and srhe Gold Brick
is the best selling book OF the year. Unhappy

The national Republican. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1866-1870, 1866-04-25

The Washington correspondent Of the
Utica Herald says that President johnson is
evidently determined to submit to the people
the question Of restoration, and adds:
"He has no hesitation in his policy, but the Re.
pubicGns In Congress, for the most part, reti.
cent, and do not fight back. Usually in a contest
between principles or powers, that which Is most
active wins. COngyeSS ShsHh prsIeHt IT'S plan TO
The people at once, and make the terms as fair can
DO tCih safety It will find that the terms will not
be accepted so long as the President sides with
the South. II the Republicans can carry the
next Congress, the rebeious States may conclude
that the President Is powerless and that their best
pay is TO make terms ruth that body rather than
Wih The PrsSideHt."
This advice is good. Congress should
present its plan Of restoration to the peo-
pie at once" Thus far it has done nothing
but denounce the policy pursued by the
President. 1t assumes that the Union is de-
strOyed, and refuses to take any practical
steps for its restoration. The President as
sumes that the attempt to destroy it failed,
and that the Union is still unbroken and the
supremacy of the Constitution unimpaired.
He holds, therefore, that the Government Or
dained by the Constitution for every section,
every State and every district in the Union,
should again be put into active practical
operation,-N y. Times.

THE GRATITUDE OF THE RE-
RuRIIN.

Tennessee has had loyal State govern
ment for two years. II was created by a
regular election Of the people. II has con-
stitution republican in form and possesses
courts duly organized and in full operation.
Her loyal people have sent loyal representa-
tives to Congress who are so thoroughly
clean Of the poison Of rebeldom that they
can take the iron-clad test oath without
wincing. They have done more real fighting
to save the Union than the majority Of the
present Congress ever sa,o, out Of the reach
Of Swamp Angel seven-mile shots, or will read
Of in the next seven years. They offered up
their lives to save the Union. They perilled
everything that was dear TO them on earth
that the Republic might survive rebellion.
Notwithstanding all this sacrifice, Tennes-
see cannot be admitted. Mr.. BSGHAN's
proposition, made six or seven weeks ago
from the Committee on Reconstruction" to
admit her, ended with the mere proposition.
The House has never been permitted to act
upon it. All action to reach Tennessee since
has been ruled out Of order. Congress has
resolved itself into the Reconstruction
Committee Of the Whole on the subject Of
Tennessee, and, from present appearances,
until that committee rises, (on that particular
subject Congress as a nudity.
Let the people make note Of Congress,

who battled against treason to save the Re.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.

There is nothing more certain than that
the sympathy of the American people is I'M
equivocally in favor Of the Republic of
Mexico, and against the Imperial Govern
ment which has been foisted with French
bayonets upon that unfortunate country.
That sympathy is profound and almost uni
versal and is ready to demonstrate itself on
oil proper occasions, in any feasible way
Another thing is equally clear, and that is,
that the Monroe doctrine is accepted in this
nation by all sections and by all parties.
The North and South, the East and West,
alike give to it their cordial approval. 1t
has not only been the immemoral creed Of the
Democratic organization, but in the national
convention Of 1864, which placed in nomina.
ton ABRAHAM LINCOLN and ANDREW JOHNSON
1t was incorporated as part of the political
faith Of the great Union party. 1t is there.
fore with sense Of deep qualification that
our countrymen have seen, by the diplo-
matte correspondence between France and
the United States, just made public, not
only another marked triumph for the dis
tinguished Minister who conducts our foreign
relations, but clear, distinct, and positive
recognition of the American continental
policy Of non-intcrvention. On some points
our people are still somewhat anxious and
disturbed. They have asked if the with
drawal Of NAPoLEoN's troops in the delibe-
rate manner proposed may not be con-
certed plan to enable Austrian bay,
onets to take the place Of French ones.
On this point we beg our people to be at
ease. They may allay all fears ofsuch a result
Already the Honorable SECRETARY OF
STATE has instituted an inquiry into the pur
pose or meaning Of the recruiting of Aus
TRAN troops for Mexico. We can assert
without fear of contradiction, that under nc
circumstances will Austria be permitted to
land an Austrian soldier in Mexico, in the
interest of MAxIluLrtN and monarchy, ruth
out terminating al once, under instructions,
the friendly relations nor eriStinJ betDeen
the Governments Of The United States and
AuStria-which would involve the demand,
by Mr.. MOTLEY, our Minister to Vienna, Of
his passports, and the tender to Count wy
DENBRUCK, the Austrian Minister at Wash
ington, of his passports.
There is also some mist over the subject
Of the French withdrawal that may require
clearing away. Whether the term three
detachments" means simply three periods Of
time, reducing at two of them the foreign
army in small proportions, leaving the bulk
to remain for one year and half, is yet to
be seen. We presume that the intention oil
the Emperor is to remove legions in three
equal detachinents. Why does he decline
to remove them all at an carly day2 But
whatever comes, the American people may
rest assured that the Monroe doctrine viii
be maintained by the Government at al
hazards and at whatever cost

MARY HARRIS, who escaped conviction of murder

to have JEFFERSON DAVIS arraigned before
the United States Circuit Court of Virginia,

but the intervention Of Congress or the re-
