Sheffield is said to be sharp, and in April OF
1867, when its manufacturers combined to
adopt special price-list for America, other
than the market or wholesale price in England
which our law requires, they may have calcu-
lated with great shrewdness and keenness.
But the charge of fraud upon the revenue by
undervaluations. a charge made by agents and
officials of our Government in Europe, seems
to have disturbed the calculations of all those
who figure in their interest. In the searching
investigation of "The Steel Difficulty" which
is made on our second page. the charge Is
brought that the English houses do not sell at
home at the rates of the alleged undervalu-
ations, as has been pretended, nor do they IN
fact sell steel to any sensible extent in En-
gland to this country. The position Of the
Sheffield manufacturers appears to be thus all
uncovered.

A serious disturbance occurred yesterday in
Cbatham-sQuare because a car driver declined
to stop for procession of some ALDERMAN
Benevolent Society; the driver was brutalIy
beaten, and for a time the proceeding almost
amounted to a riot. Such occurrences are quite
too common in this city, and all friends
of fair play and good order should
use their influence to prevent them.
Of course there was abundance of room Ill
Chatham square for half dozen professions
and any interference with the cars was due
solely to the selfshness of the members OF the
procession. The car could not tmn out; they
could, but would not, preferring to detaln
passengers and throw score OF cars
into confusion simply to show their independ-
ence. This tramping upon others rights has
existed quite long enough If the leaders OF
professions do not pay decent regard to pub
lie convenience, it will become the duty OF the
people to protect themselves.

There seems to have been the usual amount
of horse-trottng ut the Agricultural Fairs this
Fall. In most cases, the societies offer small
nrcmum for the winning animal; and so far.
if great speed is quality to be encouraged,
there would seem to be nothing inconsistent
with the avowed object of these annual occa-
sions. Everybody, however, knows that there
il n great deal of betting blacklegging and
blackguardism connected with these trials of
speed" A considerable portion of the assem-
bly, regard them simply as horse-races, which
afford an opportunity for making little or
great deal of money. In too many cases, these
races bring to the ground people who would
care little for either pumpkins or potatoes; and
we regret that there cannot be maintained the
same interest in horses for daught rs in horses
for sWIltncss.

gREEDuEYS SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTl


In undertaking to give the colored popula-
ton of the Southern States, liberated from
Slavery by our arms, that rudimentary educa-
ton which is essential to their exercise OF the
rights of citizenship, as well as to the success
full prosecution of free industry, our Govern
ment assumed one of the most humane and
benefcent duties that could possibly belong to
il. The success of the undertaking has been
remarkable. And this success is attcsted, not
only by the hundreds of schools and the
hundreds of thousands of pupils who are in
structed in them, but by the influence they
have exercised on the general welfare and
elevation of the colored people. III we see the
liberated slaves everywhere orderly and indus
trious-if we see them emancipating them
selves from the degrading effects of their
former bondage-if We see them successful
in all the departments Of productive labor-if
we see them increasing in intelligence, ac-
nuirine the power of self-government and
obtaining knowledge Of the duties of repub-
lican citizenship-we must attribute these ex-
tremely valuable results, in great part. to the
efforts which have been made to give them
the advantages of the education which IN
other days they were denied. ..- .-..-'
We are sure no one can read the reports of
the Bureau which controls the schools for
Southern freedmen. without being satisfied that
Government has been amply justified IN
doing what it has done in this direction, and
being filled with admiration for the results of
the work which is 80 patiently and skilfully
carried on. The last semi-annual report OF the
General Superintendent (Mr, Alvord), which
has lately been published under the authority
Of the War Department, furnishes such an
abundance of facts which are arguments III
themselves, such variety of statements which
are proof and demonstration beyond cavil, that we
could wish it were read by all the voters OF the
country, as we hope it will be studied by every
Member of Congress. The educational returns
of the report give evidence of decided progress
during the year; and though we are told the
difficulties still continue, arising from preju-
Dice indifference, want of means, ana
political disturbance. vet the worst OBJ

The first testimony in the drawback frauds
was taken on Saturday, and so far opens the
case that the public can name the principal
conspirators. These frauds have been going
on for five or six years, and the parties in the
work must have robbed the Treasury of vast
AMOUNT of money. Samuel T. Blatchford was
the leading spirit his assistants being r. b.
caldwell and g. Co., CustOm-House brok-
ers, Romeyn Mulligan, and Francis A.
Howard, a clerk in the Revenue Bureau at
Washington. The most important witness thus
far is clerk named KOrn, who was familiar
with all the transactions, and was an interested
party to some extent. He was arrested last
January, but, not seeing the justice of suffer
ing alone while the leading offenders went
free, lie told the whole story to the District
Attorney. Several parties whose names are
withheld are under arrest, and Judge Pierre
point is determined to sift the matter thor
oughly. The examination is adjourned until
next Friday.

The Canadians threaten that in default OF
reciprocity with the United States they will be
compelled to abolish fishery licenses, to establish
a duty on foreign coal, to the advantage of
Nova Scotia and the injury of Pennsyl-
vania, and to impose duties on pine
timber and American breadstuils. We
suspect that Canadas neighbOr would not
suffer more than herself 10y these impOsitions;
but it is high time for our legislators to dis
cover how far Canada can be assimiated in
trade to ourselves and made to yield us not
only good company, but an excellent market.

stacles have been surmounted. The intrinsic
excellence of the work, its general conduct
and intelligent direction, with the large and
varied results, have been their own commenda-
ton. The Southern people generally are now
in favor of schools for ALL The freedmen
themselves respond more heartily than ever to
the efforts for their instruction; and produc-
tive industry is now furnishing them with
means of paying for their tuition. The colored
young men and women who have been pre-
pared for the work of teaching enter upon IL
with alacrity and pursue it with success; ana
no less than 80 training schools have been es-
tablished, which have now nearly 1000 pupils.
This not only secures supply OF teachers
but insures the prosecution of the great work
of education under any circumstances that
may hereafter arise. Benevolent associations
are also rendering more active assistance than
ever, and the Peabody fund has been the
means of accomplishing great good, at very
little added expense. The general retrench-
ment which was effected last year, and by
which the Freedmen's Bureau was confined
mainly to educational labors, was for time
embarrassing; but even this has only stimuli

those who may have given credit to the gross
misrepresentation about the Southern colored
