STUDENTS FROM JAPAS.-Six youths and
young men recently arrived in this country from
Japan with the object of acquiring knowl-
etse'ot oar Ian 5aage as well as a scientific and
practical education. They expect to spend five
or sixyears or more If ncedful to become pro-

are young men aad the others not far from thir-
t. years OF age. They are sent to this country
by the Prince of Sitsuma, one ofthe most DOW

Sat in which they hold official rank
Their names are Ashuara, Shimada, Hisamats,

The vote of Mr.. Foster against the
Equal suffrage bill for the District of Co
lumbia is q proof that the Legislature of
Connecticut acted wisely in not re-elect-
ing him to the Senate. That he preferred
to restrict the suffrage to those who could
read and write affords no ground for
complaint; but his vote against the bill
itself, in company with Salisbury, Mes
NTH, Cowan and Doolittle, would seem
to imply that he no longer regards him
self as having place in the Republican
party. Upon old and partially defunct
issues he may still agree with it; but up
on the living, vital questions ofthc hour he
passes over to the other side.

SENATOR WADE (''Rare Old Ben.') In
letter to Miss Anthony, secretary OF
the American Equal Rights Association,
says:
u am now and ever have been the ad
vocate of equal and impartial Suffrage to
all citizens Of the United States who
have arrived at the age of 81 years, who
are of sound mind, and who have not yet
disqualified themselves by the commission
of any offence, without any distinctino
on account of race color or sex. Every
argument that has been, or can be, ad-
duce to prove that males should have the
right to note, applies with equal, if not
greater force to prove that femal es should
possess the same right"

| PUNSspfErr ~ WHofssAtR The Cambridge
whipping case may ne well be forgotten The
children Of Aurora, ILL.,, enjoythe advantage OF
Mt least opr common school. The teachers of
this school have established Kind ct a dead
Tine" parallel with the front fence, over which
the children are not allowed TO pass. The oh.
iect Of this rule is, of course, TO prevent inter
course with persons on the street. On recent
occasion procession passed the school, and
the little people forgot the rule and passed the
line. The teachers were at the window and
saw the infringement of'thoir authority. The
bell rang, the scheol assembled, the teachers
made q few preliminary arrangements, and
then proceeded TO a0g .eucyy boy and girl in
the school We are not surprised to learn that
the community Of Aurora are "agitated."
1t is puzzling problem for all schools
how tosseure such order as successful
study rsqnires, and yet grant to the pu-
pills healthful amount of freedom. Or
der may be the first lac of the school
room, but mental improvement is the
main design. And if youth could study
Just as well and be unrestrained by any
rules, it would be all the better. Chill
dren cannot progress in study and have
a hcalthful, moral training, if they are
made unhappy. Excessive severity de-
feats its object. The nearer the school
room approaches the family, and yet Sc
cures diligent study, the better the infu-
ence upon the young heart. Silence, how
ever, is essential to study, and this makes
necessary strictness Of discipline.
A few of us enjoyed last week the
treat we expect to enjoy two or three
times year of attending union school
examination. 1t was evident that the
scholars were ambitious of success in
their studies, and they bore creditably
some severe tests of thoroughncss. 1t is
apt to be fault with public schools that
by set of unbending rules, attend.

some of the pupils, and the families also
Under the good sense of the present Su.
perintendent, united with his deep inter
est in his scholars individually, as well as
his school as whole, seconded
as he is by teachers of like spirit, our un
ion school is becoming an attractive place
for our children and youth. 1t is to be
hoped that the Superintendent and Teach
ers will be left untrammeled by any Other
rules than their own experience and judg
ment prompt them to adopt-that they
will be cordially sustained by the Board o.

to wane; his natural force day by day to

cuse tor keeping him where he is"
Perhaps the revelation which Surratt
is expected to make is driving the old
head-taitor to dispair. That the Rich

sassination plot against President Lincoln,
has been steady gaining.

argued the following ysSes: The wool
growers, in view of the immence iiapor-
tation of wool from South America where
it can be produced far below the cost in
this country, should have protection oi
ten cents specific duty, and ten per cent

on WOO, ,and.to have ten per ct protection
above the internal revenue tax Of twenty.

will lead to trouble, and Fletcher is able

situation is unfortunately complicated
with the fiercest kind of politics; and the
democrats say that there is really no

merely to depress the state bonds, so

General Sickles, military commandant

Congress has raised the salaries of its

creased cost of living demaded an in
crease of wages. With these precedents,

wages of the compositors in the Govern
ment Printing Office, and restore the ten

Mr.. Sumner has carried his point, and
Mr.. Wade has found it impossible to Sc
cure the admission Of Nebraska with the

be admitted with promise that the Leg
islature will erase the word '1white" from
the constitution. This will make all men
equel there before the law, and at the bal
lot box. The Senators elect from Nebraska
are confident that they will take their
