The correspondence of the notorious Judge
Abel of New Orleans with the President, which
we print to-day, is remarkable for audaclty
and falsehood. Judge Abcll has actually the
effrontery to rebuke Gen. Sheridan Tor not
preventing by force the meeting OF the Union
Convention, and to accuse him of causing the
Rebel massacre of July. OF hS own
loyalty this Judge-who according to
Sheridan promised that no Rebel who Killed
a negro or a loyal man should he convicted Ill
his court-loudly boasts, and challenges an m
vestigation of his record. We dare not hope
that the President will order such an mveStl-
cation, for il should certainly secure Judge
Abel a punishment more severe than the mere
removal from Office The argument which is
embodied in the letters and the protest we had
read before, and it is said that it will be re-
affirmed by the Attorney General himself, and
that it has obtained the sanction Of the Cabl-
net We congratulate Judge Abel upon his
ability to furnish the President with ideas, and
the President upon his readiness to take the
suggestions from one of the heroes of the
massacre

IL is significant and noteworthy TACT that

forget how many times Louis Napoleon has
been popped ut without being peppered'

luck and lives years enough, he may WIN YET
European Democracy, not at present the most

without the numerals now affixed to his name,
might have been its champion, might
have fostcrcd its virtues while he dls-
couraged It's vices, and might have helped to
make the revolutions which attended the
earlier part of his official career! something
more than miserable and sanguinary fail

Mayor Monroe, The World, and the unre-
constructed Rebels generally, have as little
liking Tor Gen. Sheridan in New-Oreans as
the Rebels in arms had for him III the Shenan-
doah Valley. The World is delighted because
Gen. Grant advised him not TO remove Gov
TlIrockmorton and hopes that "he may receive
additional advice about the performance OF his
~dutes with reference to the country" There
are few men who need advice about their du-
ties to the country less than this gallant sol

The fascination which draws people to look
at acrobats risking their necks on shally lad
ders, or playing antics on a tight-rope at II
dizzy hight seems to us near akin to the popu-
lar grecdiness TO see a man hung. There Is no
reason why it should he gIatifcd, and the
accident the other night at the Academy of
Music suggests the inquiry whether we have
any more right to permit fool-hardy performers
to run these fearful personal dangers than we

The Southern people must have educatloh'
They must, sooner or later educate themselves.
The best deed we can do is to stimulutc them
TO this achievement But the stimulus should
be applied to their intelligence and morale-hot
merely TO their pockets. They need few eX-
amplcs in conspicuous places, OF hist-ratc
school establishments, such rs satisfy the
wants of our own people, and serve as noDic
standards TO large districts Of State. The
South can do without Universities for halt q
century yet. 1t can dispense, for the present
with expensive colleges like Harvard, la'e,
and Bowdoin. But it needs high schools, well
furnished with all the appliances for complete
instruction in the branches of practical edu-
cation. Ii needs few Normal Schools, too, for
a supply of native teachers Could a large sum
of money that has been dedicated to the pur-
poses of education be better employed than III
the erection and partial endowment OF four or
five such institutions They would be peIlna-
ncnt monuments of wise patriotism. lhey
would be splendid examples of what Institutes
of,education should be. They would excite
admiration and emulation i'll other States.
They would educate thousand or so OF chli-
dren every year They would be just enough
of a Gift to provoke gratitude, not enough to
encourage idlcness and, while helping the
community in the most efficient way, would
still throw them back on their own resources
for their general culture.
That this would, as Mr.. Sears apprehends, be
introducing u foreign element which would
"work badly in every respect" we fail to per
ccivc What foreign element is there but the
Northern element our intelligence or morale,
our discipline, our liberty And the longer
that element is foreign to the South, the longer
will her regeneration be delayed. a foreign
element is introduced already i'll the Drof1er OF
aid. and that element often works badly unless
0verruled by Others.
We trust that these remarks will not seem
impcItinent t0 those whom they most nearly
concern Few things are more ungracious than
the inspection of the mouth of gilt horse
II il not fair either to find fault with rider
who is making the best speed he can over IA

cannot help expressing our fear of dangerous
places ahead, and we must be excused for the
liberty taken of pointing out what TO us seems
better way, as bcing easier, safer, dilectep
