EDUCA TON or C0LORED CHILDREN
The first anniversary of the organization
of the delaware Association for the Moral
Improvement and Education of the Colored
People," which will be celebrated on Friday
evening next by meeting in Institute Hail.
is an occasion of much interest and we hope
the attendance of citizens will be large.
This Association has in the one year of its
existence organized in this State q schools
for the education of colored children, at
which there is an average attendance of over
1000 scholars. Ii has for the establishment,
furnishing and support of these schools
raised by voluntary contribution and spent
$4,000. Under the direction of the Asso-
citation the Freedmens Bureau has expended
$4,000 in the erection of new school houses,
in most cases having secured the erection OF
very credtable buildings.
The association has, headed by its liber-
al and energetic president, Thomas Kim
Der, Esq. done noble work and done it
well. 1t well deserves the assistance and
support of the community in its further
prosecution, and we hope may receive sucl
support from all classes without regard tt
political opinion or party ties.
1t is Of the utmost importance to the who'll
community that all the rising generation
whether it belong to the highest or loves
classes of society, shonld be educated Thi
is the very plea for state or public schoo
education, that the good of the State re
quires the education of the citizen. Tha
as political measure it is cheaper to edu
cate the child than to support the adult as
pauper or criminal No class of the CON
munty can consistently refuse to lend il
countenance to work like this Thos
who believe the negro capable of improve
ment are compelled by every consider,
ton of humanity to help bring such improve
ments, about. Those who believe him u
terly degraded and ignorant should not r,
fuse to do all that may be done for Ii
enlightenment

BLEEDING ALARAM1.

The rebels are determined that Alabama
shall not be restored to the Union till it is
done in their charge. The little clique of
ex-slavcholders for whose benefit the whole
power of the State has hitherto been WELD
ed, are determined that it shall not slip from
their clutch. At the late election, the record
of the outrages committed on the Union
men to prevent them from voting for Re
storation, the return of Peace, and Law,
and Order, almost exceeds belief, and hardly
has comparison in our history, the story
of Border Ruffian violence in Kansas not
excepted.
Detailed reports have been received at
Washington from nearly all portions of the
State, and their tenor is one OF snvaried and
shocking barbarity. Voters were hooted,
jeered. and cursed, as they came up to the
polls, the rebels refusing to vote entirely,
and therefore ''spotting' all those who Of
fered their ballots After they had voted,
some were so threatened as to be induced
to return and withdraw their tickets, which
the officers in charge of the boxes permitt-
ed. All Union men, both white and black,
were browbeaten, cursed, and abused, and
threats to murder them were them were the
most common conversation. At Mont
gomery, hundreds of white workingmen,
dependant for their daily bread on rebel en-
ployers, dared not go to the election at all.
In the same city, at every poll there were
rebel soldiers dressed in their gray uniform,
and fully armed, who did the threatening
and bullying. The name of every white
voter was Immediately taken down, that h,
might be discharged
A letter from Lee County says the sceneI
are precisely like those of 1860, when by I'll,
same measures, the same class forced the
Secession movement down the throats oftht
people. The same terrorism by the rebels
with their belts full of pistols and bowie
knives was re-enacted. In Dale county, The
colored men were attacked on their way t.
the polls, by rufiians who lay in wait fol
them and beat them fearfully.
These are but brief details of sickcn
ing story. Is this Law? Is this Order
Are these violent and bad men who for foul
years shed the blood of the nation, to rul,
it still2 1t certainly cannot be true.

Better one month Of public trial, than
tueice months Of danger, Nth traitor
at the helm!
There is no revolution" in the steady
and calm administration of law. There is
no danger to the person or property OF the
people, while the great fundamental law of
the Republic, established in the coolest
moments of its earliest statesmen, is simply
rc-asserted and indicated.
Let there be no misunderstanding in this
regard
Let no man fail to see who has been the
revolutioast, the incendiary, the radical.
From the earliest days his administration
Andrew Johnson's career has been one long
series of assaults upon Congress. No man,
not even his own supporters, can deny this.
Yet Congress is the people Of the Repub-
lie. While the thirty millions cannot gather
to proclaim their will, they send these rep
resentatives to sit in their behalf.
Upon these delegates of the people he has
made continued war. Upon their most sal
utary acts, passed in calmness, and earnest
ness, under the deepest convictions Of duty,
he has spit his obloquy and contempt. He
has melted the vilcst of outlaws to defy
their authority. He has suggested, if moi
directly urged, the assassination of theil
prominent members. He has encouraged
to new rebellion, the traitors, whom thu
Nation, after four long years of suffering
conquered in the fed.
To say that this man is demagogue ant
traitor, is to fall far short of his character
Shall we, then, endure his assaults upoi
the foundation stones of the government TO
yet another year? Can we afford to paral
we our commercial and industrial interests
to check enterprise; TO stop trade in ii
channels; to disturb all the relations of fl
nance; and more than these merely materia
considerations, to give to the future this tel
rible precedent, of nation calmly endul
ing the rule OF traitorous an
perjured Magistrate, without the Inor
courage to punish him, as she does her les
Indicators, because his position is higl
and his crime is great?
No Republic can afford it. Charles tn
First lost his head and James the Secon
his Kingdom Benedict Arnold, aaron Bur
and Jefferson Davis, are consigned 10 futul
oblaquy for crimes no greater in extent, al
far more manly in character.
Let the nation guard its liberties with
: jealous hand.
Let Andrew johnson be no greater in Il
" eye Of the law than the common citizen.
: Let us rather endure month of tri
than twelve months of danger that may ei
= in ruin.
