Colonel EDUCATION is a favorito topic with OUT
Radical exchanges. we are glad also to SEQ these
schools, but fail to DO equally surprised at their
riso and rapid growth. Northorn philanthropic,
missionary and political societies send men and
money out here to gather the young negroes into
school-houscs, md tho said freedmen consent to
bo taught by tho teachers aent thom. What ia
there 30 wonderful in oil this t? There need be no
limit, for some years TO como, to tho number OF
coored schools and scholars; all TINT is needed to
multiply them both indefinitely, is plenty Of pow
der, and you can teach the young idea how to
shoot. AT tho beginning Of this year the Bureau
reported 96o dhy schools and 247 night schools for
oolorcd people. or theso schools 9S9 were aolf-
supporting, and 200 were partly supported by tie
freodmen, who owned SsG school-houses. OF tho
teachers, 972 wero whito and 45S wero colored.
Tho number Of pupils in the schools at that time
was 1888, OF whom 47O were white. Tho average
attendance was 50, 224 Fifteen thousand two hun
dred and fortyeght pupils paid for thor tuition,
Ton thousand two hundred and s1ty-six wero over
fifteen years Of ago. Only 2SO2 were FREQ before
the war. The New York Eeening Post estimates
that there is one negro undergoing education FOR

officially giyen at about one in oycry four Of tho
whole population.
As we have reason to believe that everything
relating to matrimony, is endowed with q specinl
interest to q very largo class Of our most highly
o o'teomed roadcrs, we have no hesitation In giving
the following scrap Of ocnBus.n In tho year 1866
there were 3G0, 600 couples married IN the United
States male and fomale 720 1000; or ono marriage

land 30 poor, that aho must turn to her anta-
historic, semi-savage annals, for the subject OF

| h The Now York Herald, for what reason Ne arc al

pERwooD, GREELEY, GERRITT Smrm, and all who
were proXimately or remotely instrumental In the
| release OF Mr. JEFFERSON DAv1s, on what it per
sists in forming "d,raw bail." Nor is it satisfied
with mere abuse and vituperation, but it is doing
all it can TO stir up the worst passions Of tho mo
bic uut9us, by editorial leaders, such as the ont
contained in the Herald .H Monday last, headed
''No Troason-Tho National Dobt Nationn
swindle." We have already referred to this singu
lar course Of the Herald and must confess that &C
customed as We are. und long have been,. to tn,
vagaries and sudden summersaults Of that versa
tile and many-sided sheet, we cannot but be sur
p sed at its present bitter and sgraIian attitude
or course it is CALLING that Mr. GREzIsY ehoult
have got ESQ 900 worth Of advertising from Cop
perhead municipal corporation, and extremely un
palatable to sensation writer like tho Herald t,
have boon outdono by the tribune IN the Jlry
DAVIS bail business but these cauuvL y. pl..a .
adequate reasons for proposing population Of til
national debt. We can also understand that th
Herald may havo as ono Of the objects In vie,
in this orusa %, to damage Chief Justice CHlsE'
chahoea for tho nort Presidency. But this again
itwould seem to us, could bo managed in som
LOGS oquivocal manner. To talk Of impeachinl
CHASE for net appointing Rogistors OF Bankruptc,
as tho Herald has been doing, and for not hayin
tried Mr. DAVIS, is simple fatuity.
