OF DISCOUNTED THINKING 4
THINKERS,
From the N. Y. Tribune.

From the N y. Tribune
Dr. James Rush, who died the other day in
Philadelphia, left Gas we have already noticed)
a large sum for the foundation of a library, at
the same time recommending to the managers
that they should not give much space on the
shelves ''to those teachers of disiointed think
ing, the newspapers" This seems to us to be
an unnecessary sneer, which we, who sin
cerely admire the liberality of Dr. Rush, and
appreciate to the full his own previous large
contributions to sound knowledge, cannot
regard without regret. We believe that the
learned gentleman was an isolated student of
fastidious tastes, spending his life in his Ii
brary, and taking but small interest in the
affairs of society. OF course, newspapers,
whose business it is to chronicle such affairs,
could have but little interest for him, and it
is possible that he may have mistaken their
vocation and under-estimated their value. Any
keeper of library would have told him that
the files of newspapers are among the volumes
which are most constantly consulted, and for
very good reason. They are history in the
rough. They may not be always accurate
even with the best intentions; but on the
other hand, they correct one another, and
balance each others prejudices 1t is safe to
say that without the aid of newspapers the
history of the French Revolution, and of our
own Rebellion could not have been written.
In addition to the facts which they preserve,
they are also invaluable as indicating the
/ various currents of public opinion, and the
relations of contemporary parties. Where, in
default of such sources, the future historian
| is to find materials for his work, we should be
| at a loss even to conjecture.
The jibe of DIR. Rush at 'the disjointed
thinking" of the newspapers, we are quite
ready to pardon. 1t is probable, if there had
| been no newspapers, that he would never
have thought of bequeathing his money to a
library at all; for newspapers have done much
to make great and free libraries public want.
The thinking" of newspapers, we suppose, is
much like the thinking Of the world in gene
raj, which seldom determines its course, in
moments of emergency, by the pedantic pro-
cesses of logic; but which relies Gas it can
afford to do pretty much upon its intuitions.
The cautious conservatives who would govern
by the rule of three exercise, no doubt, al

have systematically neglected the soldiers we
have not the means of determining. If they
have, the warning of the State Guard i,
proper enough. If otherwise, tle attempt to
separate soldiers from citizens and to make
the name of the one superior to the m srits of
the other, indicates local desperation. The
'qne more chance is saying possessed of
Stss(ffcance.
1t is a saying, however, which other Penn
sylyania oracles interpret differently. The
Washington correspondent of the E0e6ii1g Post
reports
"Leadng radical politicians in Pennsylvania write
here that unless our differences with Enplan1 arc
made party ISSUE the contest will be close between
the two partes'
If this view be acquiesced in, soldiers may
be at premium in another capacity than az
candidates for office. But what estimate shall
be placed upon the party management which
has reduced Bepubhcanism in Pennsylvania
to the strait indicated by these demands?

LONDON, Feb. 1G.
The formal opening of the new Par
Lament took place this afternoon. The
members OF the House of Commons
were summoned to attend at the Bar OF
the Chamber of Peers tohear the royal
speech. The Queen was not present,
but her N1ajesty's speech was delivered
by Royal Commission, and was read to
the assembled house by the Lord Chan
cellor. The speech is in substance as
follows:
The Queen assures the Lords and
Commons that the relations OF Great
Britain with all foreign powers are at
present on an excellent footing. The
hostilities which threatened TO break
out in the East, have been prevented
by the conference of the great powers
at Paris. The hope is expressed that
the negotiations with the United States
will place on a firm and durable basis
the friendship which should ever exist
between England and America. The
disturbances in the colony of New Zea-
land are to be regretted, but the Queen
is sure that prudence and moderation
on the part of the government will pre-
vent a recurrence of such unhappy
events. The estimates which will be
laid before the Commons by Her Ma
jesty's Ministers are framed on the ba-
sis of economy, coupled with efficiency
in the administration of tho service.
The continued suppression Of the opera
ton of tho writ of habeas corpus in Ire
land is regarded as unnecessary. The
ecclesiastical arrangements for Ireland
are to be considered by Parliament.
The legislation for their final adjust
ment will make large demands upon the
wisdom of both houses on this subject.
The Queen concludes as follows:
81 am persuaded that II a careful re-
gard will be had to the interests involv-
ed and to the welfare Of religion, and
that through the application OF the
principles o equal jus tice to the ques-
tions before them, Parliament will se-
cure the undivided feeling of the people
OF Ireland on the side of loyalty and
law; etface the memory of past col
lisions and cherish the sympathies of
an afTectionate people,"

The Round Table.

The Found Table, published in New
York, was, we believe, the only week
ly journal ever published in the United
States, that was acknowledged by Eu-
ropean critics to deserve its literary
pretensions. 1t was undoubtedly one
of the most fearless and incorrupt pa
pers in any country. Its review Of
books, men, measures and things, like
the honest and skillful surgeons knife,
was unsparing ofall unhealthy matter.
But such paper could not live in the
United States, a country whose public
men know no principle but self-ag
grandizement, and have no talent but
demagoguery. The Round Table has
been bought by the n. Y. Citizen, an
able and handsomely printed paper OF
the conservative persuasion, the edi-
tor and some of the contributors of the
r. T. furnishing articles for the cor
soliGated journal. The Round Table
is said to have sunk $1,000 or 10000
dollars In its effort to live.

Now is the proper time for parents to
decide where they will send their daugh-
tiers 10 be educated. Very much depends
upon such decision. One cannot be too
careful i'm the premises. In another col
umm you will find the advertisement OF
the Columbia Atheneum, of Maury
County. Read it carefully, and if you
are not satisfied, send for circular. The
locality, corps of teachers and the mode
in which they have provided the institu-
ton with the necessary helps for teach
ing, all speak in its favor. Thorough
ness seems to be one of the main pillars
of the institution. In this age too much
is done for mere appearance. Where we
find an institute making thoroughness
the base of its success, it should be pat
ronized.- NoshrWe Banner, August Sth.
