This beautiful gom came gushing pure from
mothers heart:
Beneath this stone in sweet rcpose,
Is laid mothers dearest pride,
A flower that scarce had walked to lie
And light and boauty, ere it died,

The precious boon His love bad given;
And though the caskets moulderng here,
The gen. is sparkling row in heaven.

The Commanders Appointed foE the

Military Districts Of the South.
II there be anything which could reconcile the
people Of the South to the military sway contcm-
plated in tho act lately passed by Congress, ('ny'
the Charleston Jfereury,) it is the appointment Of
the officers named in our tolegraphic columns this
morning. Generals Meade, Sherman, Hancock,
Mcdowell and sOhofeld are likely to give us mild
governments, free from unnecessary oppression,
tyranny, spola,ion, and disturbance.
These appointments, together with tho decision
of the Radical caucus to adjourn the disturbing
element ,f Congress until the sth' of May, nrc
very encouraging to the business of the country.
Tho effect may be already seen in the fall OF
gold in New York.

Conversational.

The Radical consrirators are still carrying it
with high hand. The firm attitude of the Presi-
don't; tho intimations that no will use force to
prevent the destruction Of the Government; tho
q mastsrly inactvity"o the Southern States in re-
fusing any of>the. Radi. al nmendmen to the
Constitution the Vigorous cctiyity" of all Con-
sorvatiyes, NORTH and South, in support of the
.presidont; tho decisions Of the United States
Supreme Court giving the Conservative policy
thefsupport OF two out of three branches, Of tho
Government; all these have failed t! daunt them
in the least. The Sherman Military Bill is now
the law of the land, Congress having arrosated
to itself the entire government Of helocal affairs
Of the Southern States; the right to control
which is part of the sovereignty with which no
Suite parted in becoming member Of tho Union.
A, yst the President has issued no .pEOclamA'
lion concerning the Military Governments IN the
South; nor has he made any appointments OF
Brigadiers to reign over us. Popular belief says
that Sherman. Hancock, Mcdowell, Meade ard
SchOa,ll are to be the mer. They aro infinitely
bettor men than those who are lording st in the
South al present. Gen. Sickles, now command
ing in North and South Carolina, is, we believe,
only Colonel in the regular army. II so, be
cannot be appointed. Butwc shall soon know.
And until then, it were better the matter should
rest. =.
Theprorent Congress arc already mooting sup
pleuentaty measures to the Sherman Military
Bill. one,of these is that tho Loyal-Whic and
Niggor State Convention shall come off in Sep
tember or October next.
Gen. Howard, head of the FreedmenS' Bureau,
reports officially that there arc 10000 whites and
q, 600 blacks in the South who, before next crop,
must suffer greatly for want Of food, unless relief
is afforded them; aul says that s2,OOO,OeO would
bo required for this purpose. Whereupon Mr..
TrumbuN introduces in the Senale D joint resolu-
ton that 81 500 900 bc appropriated for tho relief
of destitute persons in the South, regardless OF
the politics Of such persons. His resolution is
voted down. Thus the hellish feelings Of ven-
geancc entertained by these Radicals gninst the
| South, hurry them even to the point Of denying
bread to starying women and children.

NEW YORK ELECTION.

The Copperhead papers in their last
issues prior TO the Spring election, pub
lished false statements about the result
Of the New York election with avicw no
doubt, of influencing ourspring election.
This, We think o very contemplate
practice, and In the end will certainly
vile Gazette announced that the spring
elections in New York had resulted In
Democratic gains, when the editor must
have known that the result was exactly

this year, compared with the result OF
last year:

The Ohio Senate, by q vote of % to IL,
adopted n resolution submitting to the
people of Ohio an amendment to the
Constitution striking the word ''whiten
from that instrument. The Union
members, with one exception, voted in
the Affirmative. The Democrats, as was
to be expected, voted in the negative
The latter profess to have great respect
for the people, but, as is truly said by the
Cincinnati Gazette, by this vote it was
shown that they are not willing to trust
this question to the electors. 1t Is not in
the power of the Legislature to amend
the Constitution, but 1t is their privilege
to propose an amendment to be votcdupon
and in the event of this being adopted by
q popular vote, it becomes u part of the
Constitution. If rejected, that is the
end of it. If the majority of the people
of Ohio are in favor of striking the word
"whitcr from the Constitution, 1t is right
and proper that it should be done. But
the Democratic members of the Legis-
lature are not in favor of permitting the
people to express their opinion on the
proposition. They claim that the people
are opposed to it, butare not willing that
they shall vote on It. This is fairspeci-
men of modern Democracy.
1t is now too late to argue against man
hood suffrage in Ohio. The progress of
the age has carried us beyond that point.
In the South, where the colored pop
ulation is large, manhood suffrage is to
be recognized, and the late rebels are ac-
cepting it. When Robert f. Lee, Wade
Hampton, and such men favor manhood
suffrage, the Democratic party of Ohio
cannot make political capital or rcputa-
ton by following the lead of the Demo-
Gratis, III opposing this measure.

A few days ago picked up "buttcr-
nut paper" MS call it, published in st.
Clairsville, and, In looking over 1t, |
found very graphic description of cir
cumstance that occurred u few days
previous. The editor says "On Satur-
day at n distance we witnessed u most
brutal scene on the part of one of our
citizens In beating In the street, with a
heavy chain fine young horse, knock
ing him down several times because the
poor young animal would not walk Off

He also says: "The by-standcrs Were

Our Common SchoOls--RepOrt OF school
Commissioner.

We have examined with considerable
interest the first annual report of Capt.
John A. Norris, Commissioner of Com
mon Schools. Independent of the valua-
bic statistical tables and the information
given in connection Herewith, the report
is important because Mr.. Norris has
chosen to give his views at length upon
features of our school system, in regard
to which the people now are in sort of
transition state. IIe discusses the ade-
quacy of our school agencies from Il good
standpoint to bring gabout required results,
strikes at follies with the directncss of
practical educator, and presents plainly
his reasons for reform in certain depart
Incnts. He claims that the greatest dis
advantage under which our school system
labors Is educational apathy. The people
build school houses, buy books, pay
teachers, are proud of their schools, but
have no positive knowledge of them
They do not visit them, do not encour-
age/fheir children to attend regularly,
There is no positive opposition. People
support schools willingly, but do not
consider il necessary to stimulate teacher
and pupil to do better.
One weakness of the system is that too
little attention il given to the Country
| Schools. First class educators cluster in
cities and inexperienced teachers control
schools just AS important in the country.
Teachers In the cities are retained per-
mauently, those in the country are

siOner recommends as II remedy super
