Important Move I'm Cincinnati--Catholis
and Public Schools to be Consolidated.
There is most important educational
movement on the tapis in Cincinnati
The effortis making to consolidate the
Catholic Schools with the Public schools
Father Edward Purcell gives the prop
osition his approval, and it is said the
venerable Archbishop will favorit on hi:
return home.
The following is the general plan
which has received the approval of sew.
eral members of the School Board and o
Father Edward Purcell, and with the
Catholics generally.
/. The teachers and children of all the
schools shall be under the immediate
control of the Board of Education and
the local Trustees of the School district
to which they belong.
2. The teachers shall be examined by
the Beard of Examiners, and those re-
ceiving certificates shall be appointed al
salaries based upon their qualifications
and experience as teachers; provided,
however, that the Catholic Schools con.
tinue under the control of their present
teachers until May, 1870, after which
date the rules of the Board regarding
examination of teachers shall be strictly
adhered to,
3. Such school houses for the use -oi
these pupils as may be mutually agreed
upon between lessee and lessor shall be
under the control of the Board, TO be ia
ken by the Board of Education at their
present valuation; said valuation to be
made by a committee of appraisers ap-
pointed in equal parts by the Board ol
Education and choose one additional
appraiser 20 constitute such committee
4. The Board of Education shall pay
- interest annually on the valuation
of the school property, as above agreed
upon for the term of - years, with the
privilege of purchasing the same within
- at the price named by the appraisers
appointed as aforementioned.
5. The school houses under the control
of the Board of Education shall be used
only for educational purposes, and nc
religious teaching, or the reading OIL
circulation of any religious hooks, ,ipapers
or documents shall bepermitted III them
6. The text books shall be the same
as those used in the public schools
Publishers of those books to exchange
as prescribed by the rules of the Board
for Introduction.
The Dayton Ledger, Vallandigham's
organ, highly approves of this plan and
recommends similar action on the part
of the citizens and School Boards of thai
city.
We regard this as the first step toward
Cathoicizing our Common Schools, anG
giving over their entire control to the
priests and the Roman Church.
Had Rosecrans remained at the head
of the Democratic ticket, the issue would
have been openly made this fall.
Let the people beware,
Before the close of the next Legisla
ture, this question ofschool consolidation
will be presented for its decision in the
shape of a bill-if the Legislature bs
Democratic. Mark that prediction.

will not endorse the course of the Ga

Hamilton County.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of yesterday,
in closing an article on the canvas in
Hamilton County, says:
While therefore Republicans are arous-
ed and will poll very full vote, Demo-
Gratis, are, to large extent, lukewarm,
and it is our impression that the fusion
ticket will not receive as many
votes as would have been cast for
a straight Democratic ticket, while the
Republican vote will be much larger
than if the bargain and sale had not been
attempted, and will carry the county by
a handsome majority.
If our friends are prepared to do as
well throughout the State as the Repub.
licans of this county, Hayes will be elect
ed. and the Legislature will be decided
ly Republican.

| As the Lvnchburg News says, we are in most
excellent humnr with our friends-we are in no
bad humor with our enemies We feel that our
colored friends have been most shamefully im
posed upon by their leaders, both white and
colored. We have no tears to offer to these vile
men who have wiltully misled them. We know
| that their object was our ruin, and that they
| scrupled at no means, however low and base, to
accomplish it; but we are satifed that the
rank and file the great body ofthe colored pop
ulation, have been deceived aud betrayed. We
are willing and ready even at this late day to
offer to them the oive-to let by-goues be by
gones-to bury all the past. and to meet them
as friends We want no advantage of them;
We want to see them prosper we want to have
them in union with US, their true and only
friends. We most ardently hope that they will
prove themselves worthy to receive the boon
of suffrage, and all the rights of freemen and of
citizens We will, to the utmost of our powe
cooperate with them in every reasonable en-
deavor to promote their material and inteliect,
ual progress. Now, then, lei US have peace
let our colored friends ground their arms, and
stand by US in sustaining Walker and just and
rational policy, and in expeng from our soil
the wrctched men who, for their own advantage,
would willingly have involved us all IN one COM
mon ruin. We make these suggestions to our
colored friends in a spirit which we trust they

The white men of Virginia have spoken in a

UnansWerable Reply.

Commenting upon Gen. Candy letter, pub
lished above, declaring his determination to re-
qaire the members of the Virginia Legislature
to take the test-oath. the New York Times
makes the following crushing and unanswerable
reply Says the Times:
General Canby suggests that we have over
looked the material point that the constitution
proposed for Virginia has not been approved
by Congress, and that the decisions of General
Grant. which we ci,ed week ago were given
after the approval Of the constitutions to
which they referred, or related in every instance
20 conditions which could not exist until after
that approval had been obtained. AS mat
ter of fact we submit that our correspondent is
IN error In the case of Georgia, at least,
General Grant instructions to General Meade
preceded by several weeks the congressional ap-
proval of the State constitution. 1t was on the
2ud of March, 1868, that General Grant wrote
The officers elecled under the new constitu-
tinn of Georgia are not officers OF the provisional
government referred TO In the reconstructioii
acts, nor are they officers elected under any
so-caled State authority, and are not, theret0sp,
required to take the oath prescribed in section 9,
act OF July l9, 1867.
And it was on the goth Of the following
month that General Giant, ad ressIng the same
'thcer, r. marked that he saw nothing in the
communications Of the latter to change his O.
plni,n, and that ''ellgiblty to hold Office must
be determined by the new constitution, and the
amendment to the constitution OF the United
States designated as article Ia. . Yet it was
not until the 25th of the following June tha,
the acr conditionaly admitting Georgia to re-
presentation, and forlnally approving its con
stiution, bucame law General Canby, then is
mistaken as to the circumstances In which the
commander of the armies established a ruling
of the law directly opposed to that which the
present district commander proposes to faster
upon Virginia.
But was General Grants opinion or order
DUAL fed by connection with conditions whic!
could not exist until after the approving actor
of Congress? Clearly not. The case was
judged by General Grant on its merits AS 8
matter of fact and law he decided that the tes

THOUGHT.

As the flow of the smooth gliding river,
BY moonlight or sunbeam caressed,
Bears on from he bountiful giver,
Bright drops on the oceans wide breast
As the zephyr, that never reposes,
But seeks amid groves something new,
Comes laden with odor of roses,
Inhaled as it slipped the bright dew;
So thought, with its light, noiseess measure,
And laden with perfume of love,
I Comes bearing the coveted treasure
Fond whispers from loved ones above.
AS the eagle with broad soaring pinions
Mounts upward all fearless and free,
Now circiing the starry dominions,
Now plunging far downward in glee;
As the lightning with quick lurid glances,
And far reaching arrows of light,
Across the broad irmanent dances,
Nor stays in its magical flight;
So Thought, with speed without measure,
Mounts upward on tireless wings,
Roams freely the deep vaults of azure
And feasts on invisible things.
Again like the mad roaring billow,
Toa'rlng upward and scat ring its spray,
Now making the ocean its pillow,
Now rushing again to the fray;
Or. like the wild hurricanes rattle
That sweeps over mountain and plain,
Now meeting the forest in battle,
Now crushing the well ripened grain;
Thought comes with the mad wave of Fashion
And tow'ring Ambitions hot breath,
And all are engulfed in the ocean
OF Discord. Disunion and Death.

God Seas us.

One day the Astronomer Mitchell was engag-
ed In making some observations on the sun,
and as it descended towards the horizon, ust as
it was setting, there ne into the rays of the
great telescope the top of hill about seven
miles away On the top ofthat Hill was large
number of apple trees. and in one of them were
tco boys sfeatiHg apples One was getting the
apples. aud the other was watching to make
certain that nobody saw them, feeling certain
that they were undiscovered But there sat
Professor Mitchell seven miles away, with the
great eye of his telescope directed fully upon
them. seeing every movement they made as
plainly as If he had been under the tree with
them.
So is it often with men. Because they co
not see the eye which watches with seeples IS
vigilance, they think they are not seen but
the great open eye of God i upon them aud
not an action can be concealed. There Is not
daed there i, not word there is not thought

How bright and warm the sunshine lies
Upon that western hill
hear the ehildren's laughing shout,
While playing by the rill
mother shall ever run,
And play with them again2
i viii God remove from me this lot
OF helplessness and pain?
The mother stroked the dark brown curls
And kiss d that aching brow;
'My son, we ask God of His ways,
But he replies not now
Through devious paths His chosen ones
We're led for many day,
Whilst the fair Canaan that they loved
Beyond the desert lay"
He silent on his pillow turned;
She took the Word of God.
Ard read how through the Holy Land
The Saviour's feet once trod
How in the garden low He knelt,
Bow underneath our woes,
Then at the Gentile's iudgment-seat
Stood meekly' mid HIS foes.
His sacred temples SCARED and torn,
His gentle words revlled,
His heavy cross with patience borne
All. think of this my child
And how. while rocks asundcr rent
And shi We're yelled in night,
He spoke 10 lift one dying soul
From darkness into light
so yes He bore for you and me
That load OF pain and care;
And shall we murinur at the cross
Which for Time we bear?
Nay, rather let us be like Him,
And suffer patiently.
Till He shall stoop t. lift US up,

WHANN'S
RAW BONE SUPER-PHOSPHAT

VNTE again offer to the people of Augusta and
w adjoining counties, this GREAT FER
TILIZER for all crops, and would be entirely
unwilling to recommend to you any article, in
which we have not IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE.
We have made careful inquiry, and fully be-
lieve this is the best Fertilizer offered to your
notice; one that combines Permanency Of Effect
pon the Soil acith the most rigorous action upon
the groaoing plant; that has been most satisfac-
torily TESTED BY YEARS OF TRIAL, with
a standard of quality that is not only guaranteed,
but which is now higher than before; and that
it is in short all its proprietors claim for it. The
ingredients of WHANN'S RAW BONE SU-
PER-PHOSPHATE are. Raw Bone, Guano,
Sulphuric Acid, Potash and Soda all subjected
to thorough chemical analysis before they are
purchased No inert substances are used. The
Phosphate is WARRANTED FREE FROM ADUL-
ITERATION, and Is offered to Farmers as a thor
oughly reliable article, honestly prepared and
excelled by no other manure.
sections of the country regarding the experience
of farmers with Whann's Phosphate, have been
of the most satisfactory kind. On Wheat, Oats,
Corn, Potatoes, and in fact, on every crop with
which it has been used testimonials from farmers
assert that it has than fulfilled their expee-
tatlons WORKOUT lands have, by its use, become
productive. Used alongside of Peruvian guano,
barn-yard manure ano other phosphates it has
almost invariably exceled them all.
This Fertilizer has been successfully and salts
factorily tested on SPRING CROPS-especally
on Oats and Corn. By calling on US and exam
ing circulars and testimonials, you will see at
once that it will be to your interest to TRY 1T.
aa~ We give few testimonials showing the
high appreciation the farmers of this county have
for the worth of this valuable and reliable phos-
phate:
We, the undersigned, used Whanns Raw
Bone Super-P Phosphate on our Wheat crop last
year and experienced NUMBER ONE YIELD from
its effects. We have used it again this year in
LARGER QUANTITIES, and our present prospects
are fattering. We believe it to be equal if not
superior, to any Fertilizer we have seen.
1t is an elegant stimulant for grass

and references but deem it unnecessary, and will
only add that we sold last year-tor Cash-ONE
HUNDRED AND TEN TONS; and if we
could have extended the time to four and twelve
months. as other fertilizers in the market were
we could have sold two hundred tons, if not dou-
