EDUCATING NIGGERs How TO VoTE-The
proceedings in the House of Representatives
yesterday were enlivened by debate
which arose on the Senate amendment to
the Civil Appropriation bill appropriating
twenty thousand dollars for the depart
ment of Education" Inconvenience in
this amendment was recommended, and
forthwith Mr.. Garfield, who favored concur
renee, read letter from John Bright, of Eng
land, supporting the proposition. Mr.. Don
nelly favored the measure also, and called at
tention to the radical defeat in Mississippi as a
proof of the necessity Of an educational bureau,
he attributing the disaster to the ''want of edu-
cation on the part of the colored people" Here
was the whole case in a nutshell. The old
saying of there being a ''nigger in the wood
pile has been changed since this Forteth
Congress first organized that unfortunate or
too fortunate niger being in every BILL Even
Thad Stevens was compelled to oppose the
amendment, which was luckily rejected. If it
had been concurred in we would soon have
seen another department organized for the
purpose of taking care of male niger babies
and rearing them in a strictly loyal and radical
fashion.

Mr.. Henry W. Longfellow, the New England
versitier, ranks, as we write, equal with Bull
Run" Russell on the roll of collegiate honorary
distinction. Each is an LII. d., or Doctor
Learned in the Law-the one in the law of
doctoring other mems ideas and prosody to
suit his own peculiar verbiage and rhyme, and
the other in doctoring the war history of diffe-
rent nations after such fashion that the people
most interested in the issue Of the events fire.
quently fail to recognize them when presented
by his pen, and are as much puzzled to know
what he means as was the late President Lin
coin when he read the famously doctored &C
count Of the battle of Bull Run and immedi-
ately transmitted to the writer that peculiar
Washington degree which honored him with
permission to remain outside the lines of the
Union armies.
Mr.. Longfellow has been ''toting" around
Old England during a few weeks, and the
Bohemian interest in Boston and New York is
just now experiencing an ecstacy Of consdia-
ton in the perusal of mail report from
London describing ceremonial which took
place in the venerable and musty hall Of
Cambridge University on the occasion when
the heads of the college, In the presence Of
some few of the students and numerous
assemblage ofthe "Mutual Admiration Society
Of Great Britain, conferred on him the
honorary degree of LII. d. The American
Bohemans assert that the restless, wander
ing and aimless fraternity has completed
grand entente cordia1e, and insist that
the British branch has gracefully and libe-
rally repaid, in the person Of representative
Longfellow, the American compliments
bestowed on their native luminary in the
person Of Jefferson Brick" Dickens,
the great delineator of the inside
of the docks of the Bow street,
Marylebone and other police courts Of
the British metropolis. This account we
leave to be settled by the members according
to the rules Of the order. We must, however,
in the name of the two peoples, object most de-
cidedly TO the assumption that these Bohemian
visits show forth anything Of national charsc-
tor as expressed in the following sentences,

The complimentary dinner given to Cyrus
w. Field in London on Monday evening, and
gracefully presided over by the Duke of Argyle,
was unquestionably unique thing in its way.
It does not reveal any new thing properly so
Called; but it is, perhaps, the first time that
countries so remote as London, New York,
Havana. San Francisco, Vancouvers Island,
Salem, Oregon were practically brought to-
gether at dinner table. There is no doubt
much to laugh at in the whole affair, but to the
mind that can penetrate the mutual admiration
vapor in which the whole thing is enveloped
there is some food for thought. 1t was, after
all, this Geographic dinner, one Of those I'M
conscious outbursts that show how different the
world of the present is from the world of the
past and that foreshadow in dim but sugges-
tive outline the wondrous future. We see what
one cable can do. How different will it be when
Atlantic cables are numbered by the dozen,
and when Pacific cables, even more numerous,
connecting us with China, Japan and Australia
sia shall make the United States of America
the real centre of the world The old Scrip
tural prophecy which Bacon appropriated in
clumsy Latin, MANY shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased, is already full
filed. AS yet, however, we see only the be-
ginning. Time and space have hitherto been
hindrances to the transaction of business and
to the communication of thought. They are
already less hindrances than formerly, and we
have not long to wait when thew will he him
ORANGES no more. The world promises to be
one in a sense more complete than sage ever
foresaw or poet ever dreamed. 1t is something
for us to know that, whatever the future may
be, the pre- emnence of the United States is
secured-a pre-eminence which implies the
tremendous prosperity of New York and San
Francisco.

GENERAL MEADE RESTORING CIVIL Gov
EMINENT. of the military commanders of
the South at least General Meade has shown
his respect for civil law and civil government.
He issued an order on Tuesday from Atlanta
declaring that military rule ceases in Florida,
and he calls upon all commanders of sub-dis-
tricts to abstain from interference with the
civil law upon any pretext whatever. This is
as it should be, and it may be said of General
Meade that he is the right man in the right
place.

amnesty proclamation tomorrow, and that il
will include all of the unpardoned rebels
JEFF Davis, Breckenridge, Lee and other
leaders of the rebellion. We have no doubt
that such a measure will be satisfactory
to the people at large. There is not the
slightest prospect Of another rebellion in the

II will not injure the country to pardon the late
leaders of the Southern confederacy.

Nearly twelve millions year in gold or over
eighteen millions in currency at the present
quotation of gold, is nice round sum to be
added to the income Of the government. And
who will feel the tax? Not the poor or mass of
the industrious classes; for they hold few
bonds. And then what is ten per cent on an
interest which in currency amounts to over
eight per cent on capital invested in the
bonds? Rich people and the wealthy corpora
items who own the bonds chiefly can surely
their investments. We hold large amount Of
these bonds and will gladly pay the tax, and
we think the rest of the bondholders, if they be
wise and have any patriotism, will willingly
do the same. Only the national banks, money
lenders and usurers would oppose such just
measure. Some Of the organs of the capital
lists and Shylock bondholders make ridiculous
fuss about the savings banks, and assert that
the depositors in these banks will be the suffer-
ers. This is all nonsense. 1t does not matter
to the depositors in what the banks invest-in
United States bonds, in State or city stocks,
in loans, in mortgages or in real estate. The
bank officers invest in whatever is most profit
able, and the depositors neither know nor care,
so that they get their stipulated interest. No.
this tax will only bear upon the rich, who are
best able to support the government and who
draw the largest income from the government.
But we recommend Congress to apply this
income of eighteen millions year as sink
ing fund for the payment Of the debt If it
were held sacred for this purpose-and that
seems to be its legitimate purpose-the debt
would waste away imperceptibly. If it were
used at compound interest the debt would be
extinguished in about fifty years. Suppose,
however, the government were to take another
wise step and withdraw the national
bank currency and substitute legal tenders
in its place, saving of over twenty
millions year would be made From
these two sources only nearly forty mil
lions year could be derived and made
perpetual sinking fund for the debt.
The whole of the national debt could thus be
extinguished in twenty live to thirty years, or
even in less time if the amount should be used
at compound interest. And who would suffer
Who would feel il? The debt, az we said,
would waste away in remarkably smooth
and gradual manner, and year after year the
people would feel the burden of taxation re-
moved. Congress has begun well in the matter
of the ten per cent tax on the interest Of bonds,
and We hope it will go farther. Never was
there such an opportunity for statesmen, if we
have any, to serve the country and to acquire
imperishable renown. Who in Congress will
rise above party politics and petty measures
to inaugurate such grand scheme for the
establishment of a sinking fund and the ex-
tinguishment of the debt

TO the constitution or the constitution as it is,
not as 1t was. If the Tammany Convention
undertake to upset this fourteenth article of
the amendments of the constitution, on the
ground, as recommended by Francis p. Blair,
Jr., that it is the work of an unconstitutionM
Congress-, they must repudiate, also, the
amendment abolishing slavery and every
thing done by the President and Congress, at
least since Lees surrender. On that tack
they will be annihilated, and from Lees sur
render to and including this article fourteen
there is no halting place. Chase, then, on the
restoration and suffrage questions is the man
for the crisis, and his nomination on the simple
recognition of ''fxed facts" is all that is
wanted. Declare next for the payment of the
debt according to the law and for the tax
equal rights, and Chase is still the man for the
democracy and the conservative republicans
against Grant, as the candidate of the radicals
and of Congressional despotism and military
supremacy.
The talk we hear of-''the time-honored
principles Of the democratic party"-is all
claptrap and moonshine. There has been
deluge; the face of the political world is
changed. There has been great revolution.
We are entering upon new epoch. Old
things must be done away with, and the demo
cracy must keep pace with the march of events
or they will be broken up, routed and scattered
to the winds.
