has all of q sudden been taken ND by
our members of the Northern pre- ss-
all since the Peabody donation was
made .~5 The Philadelphia Ereninl
Telegraph fayors us with the following
reflections upon the subject:
We know OF no subject of more
Importance. to the country than that
Of education in the South. Accus-
toned rs we of the North have been
to our systems of public schools,
affording the blessings of education
to the masses almost without money
and without price, and securing q
general diffusion of knowledge among
the great body of the people, we can
hardly Imagine the true state of the
case at the South. -
Under the slave dispensation, there
were no public schools, such us pre-
vail at the North. In the first place,
1t was not desirable that the black
people should be educated. The
slave who could read or write was
looked upon as dangerous piece of
property. Hence, to teach him to do
so was criminal offence under the
slave laws. And, in the second place.
the constitution of Southern society,
with its vast plantations and scattered
inhabitants, made it impossible to
sustain any system of general public
education, even for the whites. The
result was, that while the children of
wealthy planters were taught by tu-
tors, or IN private schools, or sent to
the North, and while in cities and
larger villages something WIS done
for public education in the way of
select schools or academies, the great
mass of the people, both white and
black, grew up in almost unrelicved
ignorance. That large class of the
Southern population known as .poor
white trash" were as iIliterate and de-
graded as the lowest black slaves.
1t is state of things growing ont
OF such facts us these that we are now
called upon to confront. The mighty
plowshnre Of revolution has overturn-
ed everything in the South. There
are no longer masters aud slaves
there, but only people. To these peo-
~ NAAO SASoe WOlh vi
State Governments has been assigned
by Congress. Every vestige of the
old arlstocracy is to be swept away.
The former master is to deposit his
ballot by the side of his late slaves,
his vote counting for no more than
that of the humblest of his late chat
tells. Not only so, but these people
are to become equal participants,
under the Constitution, with lis, Of
political power in the General Go
vernment. The two Senators from
South Carolina, with her 291, 600
whites and her 412, 900 blacks, will
count for just rs much rs the two
from Pennsylvania, with her three
millions of inhabitants. We are try
ing the Democratic experiment on q
vast scale. Shall it succeed?

A OUrsr1oN .op CAsrE-OnI vec.o

A QUESr1oN oF CAsrE.-On yester-
day, two showily dressed colored
girls, attended by black servant wo-
man, got into the street railway cars,
and upon entering, one of the girls
ordered the ''mauma" to stay on the
platform. A few minutes afterwards,
the conductor approached the
"maufnaF and requested her to take
a seat inside, but she declined, say
ing, "Oh, Lor' bless you, massa, no;
missus wouldn't low it." The con.
ductor then politely informed the
maumn that she could not ride on the
platform, and must take seat inside,
whereupon she sat down beside her
chocolate-colored sister, who appear
ed quite indignant that black folks
should be allowed to ride side by side
with "ladies."

LIBERTY OF THE PRESs Avn n

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS AND OF
SPEECH. THE New York Herald saws:
The military Governors OF the
South, who are acting rs police in
the unreconstructcd States, should
remember that no legislation of Con-
Gress can abolish that clause in tlio
Constitution of the United State,
which recognizes and guarantees the
perfect freedom of the press and
speech, except in time of war. If
they properly understand their duties
under the laws of Congress, they can
get along with the greatest case, and
will find no delicacy or difficulty in
their positions. One editor is lust
MS much Mt liberty to write against
the reconstruction laws as another is
to write in their favor. One stump
speaker has just as much right to
criticise the Acts of Congress and to
laud the used-up chivilry to the skies
as another has to uphold the Con
gressional policy and ridiculc the
Southern braves. But no State
officer is entitled to use his posi-
ton to interfere with or embar-
ihSS the operation of n United States
law, nor has any man, oflice-holder
or private citizen right to incite a
rot or disturb the public peace.
General Schofe!d did wrong and ex
ceedcd his duty when be prohibited
that literary Bohemian Pollard from
delivering II stupid lecture in Rich
mond; but he did right in arrestinp
n white instigator OF n riot in that
city. The former act interlercd with
the constitutional right of free speech;
the latter prevented breach of the
peace and punished violation OF the
law.

Cotton Prospects,

The largest cotton firm in this coun
try, Watts, Crane & Co., lately failed
in New York, and left behind it many
damaging results. Southern factors
are reported to be largely losers by
this suspension. This house was
holding 10000 bales of cotton on
speculation. The great decline OF
cotton i'll Liverpool. in consequence
OF war ruinors, was the cause of this
failure, and the same cause may opc-
rate to produce similar disasters.
Cotton, i'll Liverpool, is now only
fifteen pence pound. After its re-
cent decline, it rallied little, but is
now tending downward a letter
from Georgia planter says that less
cotton would have been planted, and
more corn, had the occurrence of the
Luxcmburg question been nntici-
pated. Cotton, in case of actual war,
or even at the present prices, will not
pay the producer.
Advices from Louisiana show that
the foundations Of the cotton fields
on the Mississippi have produced vast
damage, and will much reduce the
estimated crop of that State.
From Texas, one of the largest and
most successful cotton planters re-
ports that cotton cannot hereafter be
cultivated on a large scale, rs for
merly, owing to the uncertain cha
racter of the hired labor upon which
the planter must depend. The ne
cessity for securing breadstuffs has
also caused a diversion of labor and
land to corn-growing On the whole,
the prospects of the cotton-gr growers
for the present year are far from flat
tering.
The whole crop will probably not
exceed 100000 bales, according to
present appearances, even if the army
worm does not renew its ravngcs.
The price, too, of the remainder of
the crop of 1866, and of the growing
crop, will be far from remnnerative.
This will not, however, be lost year
to planters, rs some of them now pre-
dict that it will be, if even corn and
wheat should be produced in adc-
qnatc quantities for Southern con
sumption.
The cotton trade will revive every
where, now that the war storm has
been averted. Commerce is depressed
i'll Enropc, but not to such an extent
as it is i'll this country. Matters will
let up in the autumn, and cotton will
be i'll better demand. \ protractcd
foreign war, involving continental
Enrope, would. for some time, de-
stroy the market for cotton and ,nt-
ton fabrics. Peace may be expected
Tor some time to come, and II vival
OF trade will certainly occur.
Foreign brokers in New York are
buying up United States five -twenties
on European account. Our bonds
are again on the rise in London and
Frankfort. = National Iltelliqence,..

TIoN.-With the Kentucky vote, we
send glad greeting to tho Northern
Democracy. We have fully redeemed
all our promises to them We stand
proudly beside them. We behold
them struggling in a minority, but it
is no hopeless struggle. We sec
them gaining upon their opponents,
making brave headway against them,
and confident belief takes posses
sion of our minds that their triumph
is not far off. The people of the
South see, in the result of our elec-
tions, the best evidence that we are
resolved to vindicate end sustain
their cause to the extent of our ut
most power. We condemn all the
atrocious wrongs practiced toward the
South by Congress, and will right
them, if ever God shall give us
strength and the opportunity to
achieve so holy purpose.

THE FIDELITY OF MIR. DAy1s sEn.

rAN1S. -Marrled, on tuesday night,
May Z, at Fortress Monroe, Carroll
Hall, by the Rev. o. S. Barten, Rec
tor of Christ Church, Norfolk, Fred
erick McGinnis to Ellen Barnes.
The above deserves more than n
passing notice. It is not often, in
these days, that we witness such faith
fulness and devotion. Both parties
belonged to Mfr. Dnvis' household,
and have shared with him and his
family their long protracted impri-
sonment. They were his servants in
Richmond, and have remained true
and devoted to him through good and
evil report, When, after the evacua-
tlon of Richmond, the family were
compelled to move Southwark, Ellen
could not be persuaded to leave them,
but faithfully shared with them the
t91l and suffering fof those fearful
days. es9 ~ c+
When, after Mr. Davis CAPTURE
and his removal to the fortress his
anxious, almost distracted, wife wns
waiting for tidings from him who, by
the chances of war, had been thus
cruelty torn from her side, Frede-
rick, ever faithful and true, sought
her, Offering his services to go to him
and help in ministering to his wants.
When told that the slender means of
the fallen family would never. permit
such an expenditure, his services
were offered freely and gladly, with
out reward or remuneration. When.
at last, arrangements were made and
means provided for him, and he
found himself within the fortress, a
part of his wages were carefully laid
aside, and have been regularly sent
home to South .Carolina to his old
mistress, Qike many others, impo-
verished by the war; who, in his
own words, had been rs good to him,
and whom he loved rs mother. A
like fuithfulness and liberality must
be recorded of Ellen. Surely, such
an instance speaks for itself.
The Fenian "General' Massey.
who turned informer and testified
against his fellow-conspirators at the
recent trials in England, appears to
be an epitome of oil kinds of mean
ness and small villainy. BY his own
'SSouht, Ac DeSdu HIS puOllC career
as deserter from the British service.
served as aprivate in the Confederate
army rose to the rank of Colonel,
and after the war became CONNER
cial traveller. Not succeeding in this
he engaged in the Fenian business,
and wns very successful in raising
funds to carry out the invasion Of
Ireland. AT his own suggestion he
was sent over to Ireland, was arrest
ed, swooned away for terror and
then turned informer. He owed
his arrest to an associate, who was
piqued Mt being put under his orders.
Massey justified his own treachery
by this betrayal. 1t is evident, from
his own story, that the only thing in
which he and his associates were
really in earnest, was raising money
first as contributions from their
dupes in this country, and then as
money from the Dublin
police.

The London Daily Ner has cor
respondent in Crete, who writes
from n romantic spot on the slope
of Mount Ida. His surrounding
are, however, the reverse of romantic.
The whole mountain, he writes, is
covered with the dead bodies of wo-
men and children who there sought
refuge from the ravages of civil war,
only to perish from exposure and
starvation: He goes on to say that
1t wonld be hard to exaggerate the
cruelties Of the Turks. They were
guilty of acts which it would be an
outrage upon decency to mention.
AS the great powers decline to in
tcrfere for the protection of the
Christian population, aley have only
to look forward to continued strug-
gle, marked by the worst atrocities
Of barbarian warfare.
