The New Spanish Minister In washinsrsn and
the ssush American Qaessisp.

The New Spanish Minister I'm washinsren and
the ssush Anerican Qsessiss.
The intimate knowledge which the new Min
lister from the court Of Spain, Senor Goni, is
said 10 possess concerning the South American
republics probably led to his selection for the
position he has just assumed in Washington, in
view Of the proposed convention to be held in
that city during next month. 1t il quite pro-
bable that Senor Goni has been clothed with
authority to represent the Spanish government
on this occasion provided that Peru, Chile. Boil
via and Ecuador should consent to the amicable
proposals Of our government in the direction
Of peace. This will be most important con-
vention In more respects than one. Rit should
eventuate in effecting peace between Spain and
the republics now In conflict II will be pro-
ductive Of material benefit to the commercial,
interests Of the latter, which have been for 40
long time distracted and diverted from their
proper channels; and while that result would
relieve Spain from an embarrassing war Il NAV
also very sensibly affect her status in the New
World. For instance, the question Of her aban-
doning Cuba may be mooted ct the conference
for the 1rst time, and seriously urged a. q mart
Of the compact into which the South American
republics may be disposed to enter. All the
experience and sagacity Of the new spanish
Minister, therefore, may be required 10 deal
with many Intricate matters not contemplated
In the original programme.

AT present the cost of collection and the enor-
nous frauds make our taxes doubly as burden
some as they ought to be. With these reforms
the income tax-which yields little, compare
lively, and which is odious-might be abol-
ished. So might many other taxes, equally or
more obnoxious and paralyzing to the industry
Of the country.
If the President will take up these important
financial reforms, study them thoroughly and
Law them before Congress and the people in .
statesmanlike manner, he may prevent the
evils which threaten us, and can make himself
a name that will live when his political enc
mics will be forgotten.

Another plan that should be adopted to
tighten the burden Of the debt is to pay or the
debt ~ 1t becomes due by the issue Of legal
tenders ct whatever might be their value In
the market This should be done, however, a
gradually a. possible TO avoid great food Of
paper money. Then, in order to keep the
volume Of currency within reasonable bounds,
the legal tenders should be made convertible
at the option Of the holder into three per cent
eonsols. II the circulation should become
very redundant the legal tenders would soon
6nd their way into these consols The gov
ernment would not break faith with its credit
ors for their action would be voluntary.
Though these creditors may not have given
more than ffty per cent on the dollar for
the debt originally, they would be paid
when 1t should becomeldue at the market
value, and could convert their greenbacks
into consols or not as they might
chose. The debt would thus become consoli-
dated and uniform and would bear but low
rate Of interest.
This, Of ITSELF would operate as sinking
fund to great extent; but there should be
established also permanent and an inviolable
sinking fand, based upon some fixed income,
with view 10 extinguish the whole debt within
given time.
The entire system Of internal revenue and
imposs should be revised. Instead Of the
present complicated and cumbersome system,
which eats up large portion Of the revenue
in carrying II out only few articles Of luxury
and general use should be taxed. The Bri-

A member OF the Maryland Conven-
ton having denounced the present
school system Of the State as a Massa-
chusetts Importation, and as such I'M
worthy of maintenance and support,
and having instituted an invidious
comparison generally between the two
States, hitherto devoted, one to slavery
and the other to freedom, the Balti-
more American rejoins in this wise:
In 1850, when the population Of, Mas
sachuselis was 9i,514, the State con-
tanned 3, ,679 free schools, in which were
taught l76,475 children. There was,
therefore, one public school 60 about
every twp hundred and seventy per-
sons, or, estimating the number of chill
Ciren old enough TO be sent to school at
one-fifth of the whole. population, there
children. In 1850 the Tree population of
Maryland was 492, ,666, and the number
of public schools in the State was S9S,
which accommodated SO, i'll pupils.
There was one public school in our State
at that time to every i've hundred
and fOrty-eight persons, and according
to the above estimate, there was
one public school to every one hun
dred and nine children old enough to
go to school,, In Massachusetts there
was !. scbool-a free school-for every
inv. four children, while in Maryland
there was a free, school only for every
one hundred and nine children. Yet the
school system OF Maryland was super
ior TO that of Massachusetts,. In lS6O
the proportion of free schools in Massa-
chusetIa to thai of Maryland was
greater than in 1850. In all things
Massachusetts has made rapid progress
while Maryland has barely maintained
her original prosperity. Now let us
look at the results ofthese two educa-
tioual systems. Out of population OF
e94. .5l4 there were in Massachusetts in
1850 but I.055 white adult natives who
could not read or write, or one lliterate
native born citizen in every o42iinhabi-
taDts. For the same year there were
in Maryland, out of a white population
of III. .g43, 1854 native white admits
who could not read and write, or one
in every "a. According to the census Of
1850 the population of Maryland was a
little more than One-half that of Massa-
chusetIs. Maryland has an area Of
II, ,I24 square miles, while the area of
Massachusetts is but Z, 500 square miles.
the assessed value OF the real
estatessin Maryland in 1850 was
S65, ,S4I, ,4SS, and in ;Massachu in
the same year It was S475, ,4l2,l65, or
more than seven times that Of Mary
land. Why this, difserence2 The an
aver Is simple; Because of slavery
and the ipieriofity Of our pqpIc school
system. Land Is high or low m pro;
portion as schools, churches, and other
evidences OF utilization are convenient

or otherwise. II wOuld be supposed
that education flourished proportionate-
ly with the printing business. For the
year ending June 1, 1850, there was ex-
pended for printing purposes Ia Massa-
ohusetts the sum of S2905, ,918, and In
the same year there was expended in
Maryland in this business the paltry
sum of $3.50, ,155. l. s--19 s7l7l
These striking figures are deserving
of the serious attention OF those mem-
bers of the Maryland Convention, who
banker AFTER the flesh pots of slavery,
and are seeking to restore affairs In the
State as near as possible to their anti
war condition. During the past six
years the Monumental State has made
rapid strides in the path of progress.
Relieved from the heavy incubus OF
slavery, she has entered upon IA new ca
reer of civilization, and 1t will be in
deed unfortunate if unwise leaders now
succeed in turning her back.
A correspondent writing from Indian
apolis, Indiana, says: "while passing
through the Union Depot few days
ago, was accostedt by one-armed
man in faded army blue. Fourteen
years ago first saw him working at
windlass in the gold digginEs of Aus
tralia. He and his three partners hoist
ed by that windlass, from a single shaft,
more than $500, 600. A few months la
ter bade him good bye, as he sailed
from Melbourne to New York with
$500, 900 in bills of exchange in his pock-
ct. 1 next saw him a wounded rebel
soldier, lying on the field of Antietam.
II ENnr
him a Union soldier, lying in a hosPi-
tai in Tennessee. To-day he is help
less wanderer, dependent on public
charity for dinner"

FROM MARIoN COUNT.
We oIip DE foIIowing from lhe TopsI

We clip the following from the Topeka
correspondence Of the Lsavenworth
Times
Through the kindness of Hon. A. A D..
Moore, of Marion county, 1 am permitted
to m axe the following extracts from let
ter. dated Marion Centre, Feb. goth
From it we learn that "the people 10 and
around that county, are in state of great
trepdation on account of the Indians. 1t
is feared that they will overrun that part
of the country this summer. All the
traders are coming in, and all are unani,
mously of the opinion that the spring and
summer will bring an Indian war. Mr..
White came in with his goods on Satur-
day last, and says that ''Lone Wolff a
Comauche chief and personal friend of
his, advised him to leave, as his trib {
were preparing to take the war path, and
in two weeks would be ready to fight
any force the whites might bring against
them. Two other traders have just come
in, Hooft and Moore, } and report that it
is unsafe to remain here unless a force is
sent out TO protect US. Many are prepar-
ing to leave here for the interior of the
State"
