EDUCATIONAL.

Below will be found interesting ex-
tracts from an article ON the " In
struction of the People in the 18th
Century," by NJ. E. de Leveleye, pub
lished in France, translated for, and
published in the american Educa-
tOnal Monthly.
The article presents many facts
worthy of the consideration of the
American people. 1t is perhaps too
fattering to our national pride, but
being written by foreigner, it af-
fords us an Indication of the views
entertained abroad of the results of
the general education of our masses
indicating the silent yet powerful
influence our example is exerting
abroad, and affords US encourage
ment to persevere in building up the
cause of common school education.
The ssauthor, after speaking of
movements in progress made by sew
eral governments to effect reforms in
education, says : In fact one must
be blind not to see that the future of
nations depends upon their intelli-
gence." While education is indis-
pensable to the increase of wealth
it is no less needed to teach its prop
er use.n IA nation must be intelli-
gent to produce largely and dispose
wisely of those multiplied produc.
tions."
Equality is making progress in
monarchies as we'll as republics, in
Russia no less than Switzerland p
Already universal suffrage has
been established by several nations
"This democratic movement depends
upon causes so profound and so gen
eral that no sovereign, no party, NJ
coalition, can arrest it." We mus
then make the best of it, and to this
end each extension of suffrage SHOULD
be the consequence of an advance O
public intelligence, men should ad
minister the affairs of society onl,

lot to an ignorant nation, and anaI
chy will result to-day, despotism tc

the next minute we struck the ground,
plunged into the break.
My calculations had been correct.
Jolting violently over several cross
ties, shattering ''cowcatcher" and
headlight" the baggage and first
passenger car ; throwing Jim Tor
rance with great violence from the
tender on to the locomotive, leaving
him senseless by the shock, and near
ly throwing me on to the boiler, the
'Lady" struck and stopped without
leaving the track except upon the
side where Mcleod had removed the
rail. We were disabled for the time,
with nobody but Jim seriously in
iured.
Except Mcleod. Jim's aim had
been too true, and the block of wood
hurled with all his force, gaining
double velocity from that of the train,
had struck Mcleod as he ran and
felled him senseless-the fact IS, as
we soon found, dead. The billet had
struck him and killed him. Jim Tor
rance was never tried for it on earth /;
poor fellow, he's gone since, and l
don't much think they recorded any
verdict against him in heaven.
After Jim was taken care of, the
lanterns put out ahead and behind US
to warn approaching trains, and the
disabled train was gone through to
see after the wounded, John McLeod's
corpse was taken up and carried
back to the station which he had just
left.

Her grief was terrible to witness.
She lay on my shoulder and sobbed
half the night away, but it was less
from love of the man-who had al
ways been cruel to her-than from
her woman's nervousness. At the
inquest, next day, when she identi-
fled his body and told the story of his
misanthropy and superstition to the
jury, she was more collected, and
surprised me by her calmness. The
jury thought its course in the matter
plain sailing-no suspicion of the
mans crime arose; Torrance and
myself were not examined we kept
our secret to ourselves, and the jury
brought in verdict of Death by

the incentive to the crime-the chief
cause of his death jealousy.

The Test Oath.

The Richmond Times sees now no oh

Offices being fled ty Southern men,
The adverse decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States to the consti
tutionality Of the "test oaths" imposed by
Congress, will lead, We hope, 10 a mark
ed improvement in the Federal officials
in the Southern States. The "iest oaths"
prevented ninety.nine out Of every hun
dred OF our people from holding the Fed,
eral offices in our midst. They, went.
therefore, ly default, in many instances,
into the hands Of unworthy and incom,
petent citizens OF the Southern State,
and still more frequently, the officials
were unsympathizing aliens, whose pres
ence in our midst is perpetual and hate.
ful reminder Of tho failure Of our noble
struggle.
In some Of the Southern cities, the Of
ficials are strangers, who came in with
the conqnerors, and have nothing in com,
mon with the people. Many Of these
men have behaved themselves well, and
have won the esteem Of our people, while
Others have made themselves as odious as
possible. There now exists no reason
why the Offices at the South should not
be filled by Southern men. The interests
OF the Government would, for instance.
be greatly promoted. by the appoiu,men,
OF popular, capable and honest Southern
men 20 all the places connected with the
collection OF the internal revenue, where
most intimate knowledge Of the people
is indispensable 10 the officials. The pol
icy Of reconciliation is popular with the
President, and he cannot carry it out
more etf'ec'ually than by interesting the
Southern people in the numerous offices

ory, it wi! require the endorsement Of
but four more States to make il part of
the Constitution, the ten unrepresented
States not being counted, and having
their rights ignored. When four more Of
the "loyaW States shall have ratified the
amendment, Congress will proceed to leg

tidently believed, the Supreme Court will
demolish the Radical theory Of ignoring
the Southern States in the adoption of
the amendment, and thus defeat the in
iquitous measure, as it has dCne military

In the Senate, a memorial was present.
ed from the Chamber Of Commerce Of
Memphis, asking aid for the Southern
Pacific Railroad. The tariff bill WAS die
cussed, and, after short executive session,
adjourned.
In the House, the bill to punish the
placing Of Instructions on railroads carry
ing mails was referred to the Post Office
Committee.
A bill was introduced, declaring valid
certain acts and procamations Of the
PRECEDENT from 1861 to 1865. 1t shields
officers from acts committed in the dis
charge Of duty, and declares all officers
shall lie presumed to have acted under
orders. The bill was re committed to the
Committee, with the privilege 10 report
at anv time. The same Committee re-
ported bill declaring it the rule Of AL
United States Courts that persons guilty
Of treason, murder, bribery, and other
'elony, who had given aid, comfort or
counsel TO the enemies Of the United
States, or had engaged in rebellion, shall
not be allowed to practice,in said courts.
Mr.. Boutwell, spoke in its favor, saying
il five Judges Of the Supreme Court did
not have sufficient self respect TO adopt
rules to exclude rebel traitors, it was time
for Congress to step in and make rules
for them. Every device Of the minority
to stave of the vote was resorted to-
The House WAS still in session at 7 o.
clock.
