Disconnected Conservatives,

A special to the Courier Journal of
the I'd says:
The EreniRg Post this afternoon
has leading article attacking the
radicals TOR their expression of dis
content towards General Grant and
his manner of settling his Cabinet.
The Post says:
We advise the gentlemen who are
now suspicious and angry to initiate
Grants reticence. 1t will do them
no good to being opposed to or de-
nounce Grant before they know what
he means to do. 1t is quite probable,
we think, that lie will not take care
of their friends. 1t is quite probable
that he will not befriend all their
schemes. The people do not think
it necessary to their welfare that the
new President shall become in adj
vance the tool of any political fac
ton, least of all those men whose
rash and iniudicious course has VT Ak
ened the Republican party with the
people, and whose extreme cOnd, m
nation to this extent that number
of it's authors have lost their re cleo.
ton.
This is regarded as a determine
ton on the part of the conservative
Republicans of this State to divide
party unless they continue to receive
the lions share of the spoils.

EF Since we have schools for the
benefit of incipient lawyers, doctors
and clergymen, says an exchange,
why should we not have a school for
editors .--
journalism has becomAas distinct
and important-eprofession as either
law, medicine. or divinity, and men
need to ,be carefully and thorough y
educated for it. The ability to edit
II newspaper is entirely distinct from
the ability to write leading article,
and the possession of the one by no
means implies the possession of the
other. An editor can become mas
ter of the duties of his profession
only by long experience; Just as a
lawyer can acquire a thorough
knowledge of practice only by prae-
tice. Nevertheless, the law school
is of great benefit in teaching stu
dents the Iudimcnts not only of law
but of practice and a school OF
journalism could, at least, instruct
( the student in the true theory of edi.
torial duty. Precisely how such a
school should be conducted it would
be very difficult to say, but there is
manifcstly not only room, but real
demand for il. We have an album
dance of good newspaper writers
but Il paucity of skillrul editors.

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMETT.-
She N. Y. Tribune, in discussing sew
eral propositions NOW before Con
gress regarding the extension of suf-
frage, says: ...
AS precedent, it would be safer,
by an am( ndmeht to the ConStitu-
ton, limit the future power, Of State
Legislatures to deny the right of
suffrage, than by an act of Congress
to assume and exercise the power
of regulating the suffrage. If Con
gress has the power to grant, it has
the power TO withhold. What a Re
publican Congress extends, Demo
cratic Congress may withdraw.
Would our Republican brethren be
willing to establish precedent for
some future Democratic Congress TO
pass a National law i'll accordance
with the pecuI.a? views Of that party
relative to b." color, race and previous
condition 2" As the Democrats gain
about thirty four members in the
next Congress, such caution may not
be deemed superiluous.

Special to the N. o. Picayune.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Mis-

representations to the Reconstruction
Committee, with whom an interview
was held today. as to induce ma
.jority of the members to reconsider
the subject, and they are now ad-
verse to the admission of Mississippi
under the rejected constitution.
An informal count shows that the
proposed suffrag &c amendment to the
constitution will pass the Senate to-
