n,ore<,-making concern; they thereforo Apply
fine extra ? Ger cent of their profits to the NJ,
nrovcmert Of their present buildings and the
erection of others.
The marked success of Sir Sydney Water
lows Company soon led to the establishment
of six or seven others, and 1t is calculated tiaV
there are already sixty thousand persons l1SiG-
inc in this class of cheap, wholesome, and
convenient dwellings; while it is hoped that IN
three years time the companies will have
buildings sufficient to comfortably house 3OO,OOO.
This. of course, will be but small portion OF
the great body of the working classes Of such
an extensive city as London. Still, to have
proved the experiment a phanthropic and
financial success is alone great result, and, If
the extra profits are to be annually expended
in the erection Of new buildings, there is no
limit to the progress that may be made, till
all the old rickety lodging-hOuses in London
have been gradually bought up and rebuilt on
this system.
The supplying to the laboring population OF
such dwellings as these tells III more ways
than one. 1t not only adds to their comfort,
responsibility, and personal cleanliness, but, by
rendering them more healthy, gives them
greater capacity for labor; while at the same
time the influence of such homes on their
children is most beneficial. In this city the
workingman not only experiences considerable
difficulty in obtaining decent dwelling, but
has to pay an exOrbitant rent for the very IN
ferior accommodation which he gets. Now
however, that it has been proved that capital
lists can get good return from such invest
ments as these some may be found willing to
do the laboring classes a service which they so
urgently need. 1t is a highly significant fact
that whereas the death-rate in the wards OF
this city which are principally occupied by
workngmen and their families is 90 in l,OOO'
in these model lodging-hOuses in London 1T IS
only 10 in 1000 And yet New-York has the
reputation of being one Of the healthiest metro
poltan cities in the world.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-03-10

The execution of four men at Princess Anne
Nd, on the 9th inst, for murder, was so clumsily
conducted that one of them died death too
horrible to be here described. An important
fact however, is that during the protracted
suffering of this wretched being, in the presence
of five thousand of his fellow-creatures, there
was general yell of That's right-you
ought to suffer" Upon this we desire briefly
to remark
l. That these vindictive and pitiless express
sions are entitled to the credit of a genuine
sincerity. Brutal as they were, they had no
flavor of hypocrisy, no pretense of pity, no
ailcctatiOn of sympathy, no recognition of the
duty of forgiveness, no admission of brother
hood, and no masking of revenge under the
forms of justice These candid spectators did
verify rejoicelin the death of the sinner upon the
scaiTold, and they expressed their pleasure in
way which, if it was coarse, was at least
natural Fighting for his life, clinging despe-
rately to the world, shrinking in horror
from the abyss which yawped before him,
with none to whisper n word of consolation
and hope, the last sounds which filled the ears
of this miserable onepder were the passionate
excavations of his kind. The philosophers who
encircled the gallows knew little of logic; the
ragged theOlOgians who came to see the show
were probably sparng of their Scrptural quo
tations; and the general company, delighted
as it was by the unusual excitement, probably
thought but little of the peace and safety of
society. All were controlled and possessed by
an appetite for revenge, which, in their own
opinion, did them infinite credit; and the more
painful the DEATH the more fully they con-
ceived justice to be satisfied.
IL. Unfortunately however, for the peace and
safety of society above mentioned, there is no
evidence that the attendants upon this school
of morals did not carry away with them into
the slums and streets, into the habitations OF
families and haunts of crime, precisely the
feeling which prompted them TO laugh at the
agonies of an expiring convict. They had seen
the resource of vengeance sanctioned In due
form by the majestic law but what security
has the State of Maryland receivedf That

SHALL WE GROW TEA1

Tho Tea.Plant is in successful cultivation some ten
miles from Knoxville on the farm OF Capt Jas Camp
bell where has been grown for about ten years IL Is
said that East Tennessee teadrinkers easily raise
their own tea with very little cost trouble The plant
Is deep evergreen shrub and grows about five feet
high 1t is hardy and needs protection from frOsts
It bears an abundant CROP with beautiful fragrant
flowers. IN October The following season 1t natures

and grows up readily The yigor and hardness OF this
plant and its adaptation 10 the climate have been tested
The tea produced from the leaves Of the plant very much
resembles flavor the tea from the Young Hyson plant.
lSun.
The above paragraph may not be wholly
accurate, though we believe it substantially is
so. Some twenty years ago, Mr.. Junlus Smith
grew Tea in upper South Carolina, where it
throve abundantly; but he died, and his Tea
plants were no more heard of. In the new
era now dawning upon the South, new arts,
new industries, have a far better prospect of
naturalization than they had under the old
regime and we strongly hope to hear soon
that Tea is in process of becoming a Southern
staple, second in Importance to Cotton.
We have now an impost on Tea fully equal,
we presume, to 100 per cent of the prime cost
of all but the finest qualities. That impost
like that on Sugar was levied for Revenue
solely, without thought of Protection. Our
necessities will probably compel its maintenance
for good many years to come. If one incl
dental and wholly unprecedented result of
this tax should be the naturalization and solid
establishment of the Tea culture in our cOun-
try, the permanent good resulting from that
tax will far outweigh its temporary incon
V%nience
We ought to grow Tea. 1t is an agricultural
product, Of climate like a wide belt of our
country and we already know that it will
flourish on our soil. Why should we persist
in going around the world for what might as
well be grown at our doorsl The Chinese
take very little of us but Silver and Gold, and
these we cannot produce so fast as we need
them to redress the balance of trade, otherwise
heavily against us. 1t is not probable that the
Chinese or Japanese tea-grOwer receives one
fourth the price that our tea-drinkers
pay for his herb: let us grow for ourselves,
and Labor will then receive seyenty-iye instead
of twenty-five per cent of the cost of its pro-
duct to the consumer. Doubtless there will
be difficulties to overcome at the outset; but
patience and experience will soon Oyerbear
them. Who can send us further information
touching the growth of the Tea-plant in the

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.


DR.. Eliot of Boston and Professor Goodwin
Smith of the Cornell University, in the very
remarkable papers contributed by them to the
Convention of the Social Science Association,
advocated, the one directly, the other incident
ally, the necessity and importance of establish
ing a far higher standard of education in our
Universities. Under our present system, Uniycr-
sity Education appears to be made more or less
subseryient to the probable requirements of a
future career Of ordinary everyday life, and is
not so much means by which the student
may obtain eminence as a man of letters or Of
science as it is considered in the more ancient
Universities Of Europe. The opinion of such
men as De TOcqueville, Fraser, Eliot and
Goodwin Smith, that there is little real erudi-
ton in America compared with some other
countries, is one, however unpalatable it may
be, that carries great weight and commands
attention. These learned Professors assert that
the value of an American University degree is
low at home, still lower in Europe, and, what
is more, that it is justly so. To great nation
like the United States it is more or less a mat
ter of humiliation that such should be the
case but it will be still more humiating if,
when our shortcomings have been pointed out
to us by such high aud unimpeachable author
ty, things are suffered to 90 on as of old.
But DR.. Eliot, while calling attention to the
evil, suggested very practical remedy. iIe
would shut up at least one-half of the existing
Colleges and Universities, decorating the re-
mandcr; largely increase the staff Of profess
sors and courses Of lectures and create a sys-
tenn of endowed felowships by means of
which men would be able TO remain at the
University after they had taken their degree.
Such an arrangement would by no means shut
out from University career men who purpose
to follow the ordinary avOcatiOns of life, while
it would give to professors the time and OPP
portunities for study, which is as necessary to
them as it is to their pupils, and would enable
students Of snail means, who have managed
to secure the additional income arising from n
fellowship, to look upon their undergraduate
career as the preliminary to lifetime
culture of classical, literary, and scientific at
tainments. Under such Influences, our academ-
ical degrees would quickly rise in value, and
the minds Of students would be impregnated
with the high ambition of rejecting back on
their Alma Mater, by the results of their own
studies in after life, some portion of that honor
which she conferred upon them at the COM
mencement of their career. Thus, year by
year, would the standard of our Professors be-
come higher, and, as a consequence, the stand
ard of our education. Such standard of edu-
cation would raise the morale of the whole
nation. 1t could not fail to tell largely on
production and manufactures dependent as
they are on science for their advancement and
mower of competition with other nations. 1t

The Internal Revenue legislation has been
done piecemeal. We are afraid to say how
many diverse and sometimes conflicting statutes
one must hunt through to find the law on the
levying and collecting of taxes. Gen. Schenck,
with an industry and zeal to which we have
heretofore borne witness, has elaborated a
single comprehensive bill, embodying and har-
monizing the various enactments, which has
had most unlucky time of it in getting
through Congress-coming in first on the ebb
of the Impeachment, and being stranded more
than once in the desire for speedy adjourn
ment-but for the passage of which there
seems now to be an excellent opportunity. 1t
has been debated and re-debated; all that is
possible of the little capital which small men
have sought to make out of struggles for the
exemption of local interests, has been made
The amendments which majority were found
to favor have been inserted. We do not see
now why it might not be promptly passed,
and the new Revenue Commissioner enabled
to open new books, for the beginning of his
duties, with consistent, harmonious law.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-03-10

Gen. Schencks bill to strengthen the public
credit, by declaring the inyiolabiity of the
public faith, and the duty to pay the bonds in
gold, was finally passed by both branches of
the XLth Congress- in a shape that commanded
the general approval of the party responsible
for the conduct of the Government. Mr.
johnson was enabled to prevent its becoming
a law only by means of the pocket veto. 1t
has been promptly reintroduced, precisely as it
passed at the last session, and it comes up
for action to-day in the Senate. We trust
nothing will be suffered to stand in the way
of its prompt passage by both Houses. This
time it will not fail for want of a Presidents
speedy signature. The first official paper
signed by any member of Grants Cabinet was
an order to revoke JohnsOn's undelivcred
pardons for members or tools of the Whisky
Ring. Let us have this bill for strengthening
the public credit the first law that receives the
signature of our new President Honesty in
the payment of our debts, and purity in the
collection of our revenue-with these as its
opening acts the Administration will have made
a most suspicious beginning.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-03-10

The Republicans in Congress, after caucus
on the subject, decided to make the present
session short one, long enough only to press
through a few leading bills Of first class i'm
portance. Foremost among these they reckoned
schencEs bill. declaring the bonds payable in
gold, and sanctioning gold contracts Hooper's
bill, forbidding further issues of gold bonds or
payments OF commissions to brokers, and a
modification, at least, of the Tenure Of
Civil-0fices law. These seem to be really
necessary; very little more is. But we observe
that although yesterday was reported a dull
day, with scarcely anything doing, there were
no less than twenty-One new bills introduced
in the Senate and one or two more in the
House. At this rate, thirty weeks would seem
more likely to be the measure of the session
