Conrre.. ana M. Rr..ia..,-

Happily, the President Of the United
States took the passage of the Civil Rights
bill over his veto in the best humor in this
world. Instead OF following the pro.
gramme that had been chalked out for him
by some Of his new friends, and proclaim
ing Congress a revolutionary assemblage,
calling upon the militia Of Virginia to dis
perse it, and inaugurating civil war, he
said perhaps it was well enough that the
bill had become a law. though he could
noa conscientiously give it his signature.
He did not believe that the bill was con-
s,itutional, but the Supreme Court had
that to decide, and in the meantime we
could all have the opportunity Of witness
ing any beneficial results that might arise
from il.
And Congress feels in its bones that "the
man at the other end Of the avenue" is not
so bad q man after all. The most radical
Republicans discover that he really is not
q Copperhead, if he does welcome all
classes of politicians to the support Of the
Union cause; nor q rebel, though he
shakes hands with men who fought against
US during the war. There is a wholesome
reaction in his favor. A score Of his par
ticular friends, nominated for office, have
just been confirmed, who, a fortnight
since, would have been contemptuously
rejected /; and this is but n Of the signs
Of the times indicating that the Executive
and Legislative Departments Of the Gov
eminent may yet work together for the
general safety and the common good.
Congress and the President, each hay
ing had q lick at the other, feel better
about it. There is no question that the
Presidents speech on the 22d of February
was an indiscreet one, and that it dam
aged him seriously, but it can not be can
didly disputed that he had q very aggra-
waiting provocation, given by those at
whom. according to Henry Ward Beech
er, he put his heels through the dash.
board Of the Radical carriage. He vetoed
the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, and killed il,
but the Bureau has another years oppor-
tunity TO demonstrate its usefulness. He
vetoed, also, the Civil Rights Bill, but it
is passed over his head, and this must be
il an amicable spirit prevails,
a pretty square adjustment Of accounts,
and it certainly is a period when moderate
ard prudent counsels may be received and
proited by.
We have reason to believe they are
heard and considered, and that if Mr..
Thaddeus Stevens does not yield to the
concilia,ory disposition of the hour, and
adopt a liberal line Of policy, meeting the
President q, least half way, he will find
himself in the course of a few weeks, in
the leadership Of as small q party as Mr..
Raymond mustered on occasion Of the
final vote on the Civil Rights Bill.-Cin.

STEVENS VS.. SuMNER.-Among the Gu
rious features of the late debates in Con.
eress was the violent assault made by Mr..
rhaddeus Stevens upon Mr.. Charles Sum-
ner. The Blaine amendment 10 the Con-
s,i,u,ion was forced through Congress
under the whip and spur Of the Penn
s~ylvania Congressman. It provided tina,
the basis Of representation should be pop
~ula,ion. exclusive Of the classes to which
political rights are denied. Mr.. Sumner,
taking this view of the case, helped to de-
feat il in the Senate. This action Of the
Massachusetts, Senator stirred up the bile
of the defunct leader Of the House, and
we therefore find him referring to the mat
ter in the late debate. The Blaine amend
nent, he said, was defeated in the Senate
by "pcdantic criticism, self. righteous Re-
publicans, and unrighteous Copperheads.""
For "pedantic criticism and self-righteous
Republicans" read "Charles Sumner, OF
Massachusetts," It is very evident from
all this, that there is trouble in the Radi-
cal camp, of no small dimensions. Stevens
is down on Sumner-Fessenden and 9TH
ers are down upon Stevens and Sumner
and Wade is down on all Of them.-S. F.

COMING TO ITS SENsEs.-We have the
qualification Of being enabled to announce
that there is a strong probability that the
feud which has so long prevailed in the
ranks Of the Union party will soon be
brought TO ar end. As the elimination
of the fight between Congress and the
Executive, the Senate proposed to prevent
all persons appointed BY the President to
office from receiving any salary till they
were confirmed. II was resolved to pro-
coed TO these extreme lengths because the
Presiden, had declared his intention OF
comforting whatever rewards he had in his
gift upon the soldiers who periled their
lives for their country, and who now. by
reason Of their wounds and other disabili-
ties, are unable to regain the positions
which they had formerly filled in civil life.
On Friday. the amendment to the Post
Office bill. introduced by Mr.. Trumbull,
to effect this object was voted down-ayes
l6, nays 90. and on the following day a
large number of the Presidential nomina-
tons were confirmed. This change Of
front on the part Of the Senate must be
regarded as a happy augury of the future.

The ORIGINAL MBRXAIp.-Prof. Hux-
ley, in a recent lecture, gave an interest
ing account of the order Of Syrenia,
taking as a type the dudong. The pro-
lessor has no doubt that it was this queer
animal that gave rise to the myth Of mer-

RETURNED TO AMERICA.-Mrs. ). Z.
Ewing. missionary of the United Pres
hvterian Church, who has for the past
i've or six years been laboring at Tyrone
Station, in Egypt, reached Pittsburg on
saturday evenings train from the East.
She sailed from Alexandria, in Egypt, on
he Goth of March, and expected TO reach
Ter home near Dayton, Ohio, today
}lrs. Curry, a sister missionary, died at
Tyrone Station about the first OF March,
leaving babe but two weeks old Mrs
Ewing brought the little infant to its
grandmother, who resides near Pitts
burg. Mrs. Ewing also brought her
laughter, aged about five years, with
her. Considering the fact that the de
,oted missionary lady is in poor health
the undertaking of such long journey,
With no companions but the two little
children, was a great one, and we are
happy to state that the heroic lady has
reached her home and friends in safety.
Mrs. Z. will remain in America for about
year, when her husband will come over
from Egypt, and, should life and health
permit, the two will return together to
their field OF labor.

SERVED HIM RIGUT-A day or two
since man Of rather gentlemanly de-
meanor got aboard the train on the
Pittsburg and Cleveland Railroad at
Rochester. When called upon for his
ticket or fare, the man informed tho
Conductor that he was in Destitute c;r
cumstances and wishedto go to Whee,iro
were he had friends A number Of
Wheelingites who were aboard the train
though they did not recognize the man
rs a resident of this place e, with their
characteristic generosity, clubbed to,
gether and paid the mans fare, When
the train stopped at Wellsville, the Con.
ductor of the train observed the
man step into the bar ROOM
and wondering what he could do there
without money, determined to watch
and await results. The fellow called
for drink and laid down five dollar
bill, from which the bar-keeper was to
take his pay for the liquor. The Con-
ductor stepped f ,ward, seized the
money, and took from it the amount
which had been so generously paid for
the hauling of the scoundrel to our city.
To this unexpected surprise the fellow
said not q word, but teok a seat in the
car in front of the one occupied by the
Wheelingites, and went to Bellaire.

ExcITING.-Quite an excitement has
been raised, among certain parties, in
Pittsburg, in regard to who has the right
to post bills on certain pile of brick.
One theatre manager claims to have
purchased this right and had his bills
put up on said pile of brick. Another
manager had these bills pulled down ana
his own put up. This has led to q sun
in the courts as to said right, which was
to be determined on Saturday last.

CITY AND STATE NEWS

OK Saturday morning we gave lie"
statistics of our Public Schools, as taken
from the report of the City Ssperintend
emf These institutions of learning de-
termine to a great extent, the future
destiny of our city Give us educated
children, and the men can take care,
not only of themselves, but of the gov
eminent, And no republican institu.
tions can flourish where ignorance pre-
walls. Education is the foundation of
freedom ; ignorance, of despotism.
Public schools; therefore, with this end
in view, are established, supported con-
trolled and superintendent, under the
authority and at the expense of the
State. They are designed TO fit the
youth for the duties and responsibilities
of life in the Republic, to qualify them
for viriuOus and useful citizenship. The
cultivation of the mind, the increase of
knowledge and the establishment of
principles of sound morals in the youth,
are the prominent means of attaining
this end Having an important common
aim, not restricted to any class and not
exclusive of any class, the means en-
ployed must also be common, to embrace
the necessities of all the youth a. con
nccted with the Commonwealth.
Having such close connection with
the interests of the Commonwealth,
and TINS supported ut its expense,
these institutions claim constant and
careful supervision by the public eye.
This, of course, must be given chiefly
10y officers chosen for the purpose Aud
these officers should be chosen with di-
rect reference to their competency
and faithfulness The selection
of a school director or of a SUI
perintendene, for the honor it will con-
fer upon him in a township or county,
or for the profit it will bring to him, is
no less absurd contravention of the
design of public schools, than it
would be to choose teacher on the same
ground A steady eye should he
constantly directed to the design of the
institution, aud steadfast effort should
he made, in all the official machinery
and in all the practical administration,
TO accomplish that design in the most
effective and thorough manner. The
election of school officers, the eXamina-
non and choice Of teachers and the
teaching should have direct and eXclu-
i've reference to the fitting of the youth
ror yirtuous and useful citizenship in Il
flee aud li@htened commonwealth
Any deviation, 90" any delinquency in
his respect, enta.~ more or less loss
on the Commonwealth lay the detective
and erroneous education of its youth.
