The Coming Reaction.

The New York Herald predicts
the immediate and utter disinteg-
ration of the radical party, as the
result ofsthe negro suffrage bill re-
Gently introduced into Congress.
I It argues that since the integrity
of the party was based solely on
this issue, that the individual eff.
forts of it's members to trim their
sails to the popular wind; has hap
PLY destroyed its spirit and its
impulse. Nothing now is left to
keep it together but the cohesive
power ofpublic plunder. In this
view, most people will believe the
Herald to be right. The verdict
of the elections throughout the
West was So Overwhelming gly
against the establishment Of negro
suffrage, that no radical politician
with any ambition will dare to
risk his hopes by advocating it.
Mr.. Broomall, who offered the bill,
may succeed in striking the shack
| les from the South by the identi-
cal blow with which he expected
to rivet them irrevocab!y. This
bill declares that "all provisions
and enaetments in State Consti-
tutions and laws, which make dis
tinctions between blacks and
whites, as regards civil Or politi-
cal rights, shall be void and Of no
effect" and MAY decidedly be char
acterized as-sweeping. 1t is
cheering to note, however, that
Judge Spaulding Zone of the most
violent of radicals) opposed it
strenuously, and declared that
rather than vote for it, his right
arm should fall from it's socket"
Several other radical members also
| rave Mr.. Broomall a severe brush.
It is very evident that all are not
prepared to follow blindly the
leadership Of Thad. Stevens and
Ben. Wade. Bad indeed must be
the course pursued by the radical
directory at Washington, when we
find members of it, and its press,
losing no opportunity to place
personal disclaimer upon record
even while aiding in it's enornities
Butler, Chase, Stevens: and many
! others, have taken occasion to Cast
an anchor to the windward in an.
ticipation of the day of sweeping

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF EMPORIA.
On last Tuesday we spent very pleasant
and profitable hour in visiting our public
schools.
Mr.. A. Blackburn has charge of the Gram
Iner School and seems well qualified for his
position. He is laboring earnestly for the adj
vancement Of his scholars and deserves success.
His school was quiet and orderly showing that
q mutual respect and confidence existed
between teachers and scholars.
The names of 1854 scholars are on the Regis
tiers Of the three schools, the average attend
anee being but 10.
This is unfortunate and truly discouraging
TO the teachers. It's surprising that parents
will persistently allow their children to re-
main away from school.
1t is demoralizing in its effects and no parent
can expect to instin into chiId's mind
promptness and regularity by allowing them
to remain at home whenever they wish.
We next visited the Intermediate School,
taught by Mrs. Maggie Blackburn. Mrs b.
is lady OF hne education and rare culture,
besides having sufficient enthusiasm to qualify
her for good teacher. She, too, has perfect
control Of her school and is doing good work
and needs encouragement. Parents should
visit the schools. Let them drop in at any
bilAlC" uCg VIZ aAWd DC NclCOInSus lhcSiucS
it will give the scholars a new impetus, also
giving the teachers courage to go on in the
good work.
Miss Fannie Yeckley has charge Of the
Primary Department and we must say she is
doing admirably. The little fellows seemed
to have a great attachment for her and are
progressing finely. She is teacher of some
experience, having good education and in
every WaV well qualified to teach.
We think these teachers should be retained
in their respective departments until they
become thoroughly acquainted with their
scholars. And we have no doubt they will
give greater satisfaction, as every one must
admit that teacher acquainted with the tenn
permanent and qualifications of each pupil is
infinitely better prepared to impart instruction
to them than a comparative stranger.
Heretofore we have been in the habit of
having an entire new set of teachers each year.
We think the policy is wrong, radically
wrong and the evil should ut once be eradi-
Gated.
No teacher can do good work unless they
are thoroughly acquainted with their scholars.
The School Board has adopted a rule
requiring scholars to bring written excuse
when they are absent from school. This is
right and parents should be ready aud willing
know that the pupil is not absent of his own
accord.
Let the citizens take a greater interest il
our schools and labor more earnectly for their
success.
