Democratic Proposition.

In the list of those members of
Congress who have united themselves
with the Total A bstinence Society at
ashington, is Mr.. Lewis w. Ross,
Democratic mem be- from this State
AT Q regent meeting of the Society
Mr., HQss made speech, in which he
proposes to abolish the sale of liquor
in Washington City. He proposed
that it should be tried there as an ex.
pertinent. He considered that there
we've no constitutional barriers in the
way Congress had exercised the
authority of prohibiting the sale of
liquors to the Indian, and why not,
he asked, prohibit its sale to the
white man ? If it was bad for the In
dian it was equally bad for the white
man. Hesnggested that prohibition
of the sale OF liquor. should be made
part of the work of reconstruction,
and added "Perhaps the reoon>
strgction might be vel! begun at the
upper( EXeeutive) end of the avenue,
and extended to the Supreme Court,
and generally throughout the city"
Mr. Ross has been a great sticklcr
for the rights Of the people, and while
a proposition from a member from
one of the Republican districts to
prohibit the sale, and, of consequence
the manufacture of whiskey might
attract no serious attention, coming
es il does from the Representative Of
q Democratic district where all the
corn and rye raised excepting a
small portion wasted in bread" is
converted into whiskey, it cannot

EDUCATION IN WIsCoNsIN.-Tbe
Chicago Republican has an elaborate
article upon the educational system
OF Wisconsin. 1t says:
In general we may say with truth
the public schools of Wisconsin are
prosperous in high degree taxes
Literally voted, good class Of build
!ngs Is found, and better class is be-
ing erected and we'll furnished with
AL the paraphernalia necessary IN
schools OF this grade an increased
and continually increasing demand
TOR better qualiGed teachers a great.
er interest is taken in education by
the people associations for the mu-
tual Improvement Of the teachers are
sprlnglng up; the best methods of
teaching and disciplining are sought
after; the great principles that CONS
mon schools are the only sure sup
port OF free government is general
~ acknowledged the press and peo-
pie are convinced Of their utility, and
they now demand that the system
be improved, harmonized and fully
developed until it meets the demand
of the age.
"Ihere are II academies in this
state, having 90 teachers and 1900
students colleges having So pro
lessons and ,439 students; also, 228
private schools, having 5000 pupils.
IN the number of n ormal schools
for training teachers, Wisconsin takes
the lead Of all the states in the
Union, six have been projected-one
IN each congressional district of the
state The state has a magnificent
fund, amounting in money and lands
$500, 600 Of the former now avail
able) to about 1900, 600. With this
fund the state should take the lead
not only in the number of these
schools /; but in excellence"

A FRANK AND NOBLE AcT.-Gen.
Sheridan sent, a few days ago, to
Miss Rebbecca Wright, of Winches-
ter, Va, an elegant gold watch, an
eXquisitly wrought chain brooch
and charms. The brooch is of gold,
beautifully wrought into gauntlet,
and set with pearls. One of the
charms, as our correspondent informs
Us, IS sword set with very valuable
diamonds. Accompanying this mag
nticent gift was an autograph letter
from Gen. Sheridan acknowledging
Miss Wright's services, which led to
the Generals success at Winchester,
in the battle Of the 10Th of September,
1864. Miss Wright is young Quak>
eress, well known for her faith in the
united nationality, and understood to
be willing to aid the cause at any
sacrifice. When General Sheridan
was in great doubt how to act he sent
a scout to the lady, who, writing upon
slip of paper, which she inclosed in
TN foil, directed it to be placed in the
mouth that it might escape the enc
my 5 search and thus furnished .he in
formation that enabled the General
to achieve his victory.

The State University.

This institution is attracting some
attention from the Legislature this
winter, and there is more friendly
feeling toward it than ever before
1t is likely to receive some of that
encouragement from the Legislature
which has always been withheld
hitherto. The United States made
liberal grant of land for education
alp imposes, and the State Constitution
declared that provision should sbe
made by law for the establishment of
a State University. But the State
has sadly failed to carry out the trust
imposed by act of Congress. The
present income of the University
fund is but the poor pittance of 10000
annually-whereas the Regents esti-
mate that $21,00 is needed. The
amount wrongfully used for build
ings was about S105, 600, and the Re
gents ask and the committee recon-
mend the annual appropriation of the
interest on this sum, 81 $50 to the
support of che University, and also
the repayment of SO, 749 62 expended
from the income Of the fund for the
expenses of it's management. This,
it is thought, will enable the secur-
ing of suitable man for Psesident
Of the institution, and enable the Re
gents to start the University on such
career of prosperity as will make it
the pride of our people, and enable it
to offer liberal education to the
youth of our State who prefer State
institution to any one OF a denomina-
tional character A bill has been in
troduced in the State to amend the
law recognizing the university, so
that the Regents may provide for the
education of the two sexes in seper-
ate apartments.

Editorial Aspirations for Office,


The Crawford County Union wish.
es to know if we feel any growing
aspirations since spending a week at
Madison as a member of the Third
House. We answer. nary aspiration,
there being not 9 salaried office at
Madison, or any office in the reach of
majoritles that we could for mo.
ment think OF accepting, for these
reasons; We can think ofno official
station, civil, political or military,
that Outranks that of editor of Il
country newspaper so that the hon
ors OF office arc nothing to the edit
or; next to this, no editor can afford
to leave bis business for any office at
official salary rates from Governor
down to legislator and lastly, any
editor concerned in printing bust
ness at all paying and deservin civ
supported owes all his time to bis
patrons as their editor. 1t is very
TRUE that editors make the best of
teislators, because this business is
right in their line, they being by
common consent kind of public
guardians or sentinels, even more
deeply interested in the public well
fare than the people themselves
Editors live upon and by the public
good 9pinion, and this they cannot
have unless mindful of the public in =
terests and business. The legislature
ia certainly "a great school for editors.
1t makes them ready, and able to
see things as they are. But still we
could not well afford to attend this
school were the public even dispos-
ed to elect us and pay for such
schooling. AS general thing edit
ors are unpopular their opin. ons
are made well known upon every.
thing, even what others aim to be
neutral upon. We have never con
coded an opinion, however antipode.
Here of late is the matter oftaKatiOn
for help to make railroads. Just
now lots OF people are down on this
thing. In few years the same men
will warmly favor such public poll
ey. At present official aspirants are
neutral upon such matters, and rea>
dy to fiatter citizens with favor or
opposition. And it is the same with
other issues-the dog laws, usury
laws, tax laws, assessments, &c. The
editor being something of man, he
must publish his opinions upon each
differing issue ; the Office aspirant
may be neutral, dumb, and even so
ignorant as to have no opinion upon
any popular issue-which is all the
better for his popularity. Or he may
dishonesty conceal his views, or pre-.
tend to agree with all opposing par
ties, either of which positions i'm.
or must speak out promptly, though
in 30 doing he sacrifices hrs populari
ty. 1t is rue the best and greatest
men prefer the outspoken man fol
Office, whether agreeing or differing
as to his views. But the leaders at
the general and primary elections al
ways prefer neutral and half way
men, which usually let's editors out OF
the ring.

re- Universal suffrage is now es.
tablished by law in Tennessee. The
only class debarred from voting in
that State is composed of those men
who took part in the Southern rebel
lion, either as soldiers or active abet~
tors. Tennessee is the first State
out Of New England to decree the suf-
frage TO every male of proper age.
not disqualified By reason of criminal
or political offenses. Kansas. howev-
er, has followed quickly after, and
has abolished every distinction ofcol-
or or race in designating who shall
vote at her elections Nor does she
stop here, for she has stricken the
word .."male" as we'll as the word
"white' from her statute upon the
subject, and now only requires con
tormity to fixed standard of intelli-
gence. This is the greatest step OF
all, and is the logical consequence OF
the breaking down Of the barrier
against the political libel ties of the
colored race The whole country is
now making rapid progress toward
the fnlflment Of the conditions of a
true democracy.

LEGISLATIVE REFoRM-The Mon
roe Sentinel favors the proposition to
amend the State Constitution so as
to elect members Of the Assembly
from alternate districts for term Of
two years, as State Senators are now
elected. 1t says
The retarm proposed by the Jour
nal would go far toward allaying the
dissatisfaction which now so gener-
ally prevails throughout the State in
regard to lengthy sessions and incon
slderations legislation. With an
amendment of this kind added to our
State Constitution, and another, fix
ing the salary of members al four or
five dollars per day, we think the
two primary causes of complaint
wonld be removed We hope the
present Legislature will submit such
amendments for ratification by the
people"

A FORTUNE FOR KENTUCKY HEIRS.
The Louisville Democrat IS inform
ed that intelligence has been received
from Scotland Of the decease of par
ties by which the immense fortune OF
five hundred thousand pounds, or
two million dollars, falls to the only
surviving relatives who are residents

OF these legatees two are residents OF
Bardstown. One is the widow OF
Dan. w Kelly, who many wears ago
was a prominent stage contractor in
that section Of the State. Mrs. Kel-
~ is a most amiable and excellent
lady, noted for ner good deeds, and it
is well that she is thus suddenly been
enriched. The other heir residing in

Mr.. Beecher's Confession.

At Mr.. Beecher's church they have
a sort of love feast at the close of the
year, at which they make very free
confessions of their personal expert
ences. At the meeting this year Mr..
Bcecher alluded TO his peculiar poll
teal experience during theyear. He
was half serious and half comic.
Sometimes the people laughed and
some times they cried. He said he
was more astonished than they at
the effect produced by his stand on
reconstruction. He supposed his
principles were we'll understood. In
all the battles he had fought he had
been well backed by his friends. He
had been thirty years in earning his
position. All at once he found him
SET put in antagonism to all his prin>
ciples and all his supporters. He
was opposed with indignation and
with sorrow rea out of his party and
knocked about like a heap of dust.
1t was a knew phase Of life to him.
Sometimes he was indignant, some-
times panied and wounded some
times the thing appeared SO supre-
mely ridiculous that he would break
out into roar of laughter all alone
IN his study. Occasionally he would
say to himself, "Now you have been
preaching to your people for a long
time to be patient under rebuke, to
be meek while smarting from wrongs.
Now how do you like this treatment?
How are you pleased with this side
OF life? He thought the discipline
had done him good and that God had
been to him kind father through all
his trials.
