Raid OF the Marrying Hen Among the
Pretty Teachers.

There was brilliant wedding affair last night
at the spacious residence of George w. Hinton,
Esq, the happy parties being his accomplished
daughter Lizzie and Mr.. w. H. Hocke. Miss
Hinton WIS well known as ONE Of our most sue
cessful teachers-and, by the way, the trustees
will have to see about this business Of eligible
young men stealing away the best teachers as
they have been doing recently. The groom, Mr..
hocke, is citizen OF wealth and high standing,
we need not say, as he is widely known.
The bridesmaid was Miss X. A. Mcmahon,
one Of our brightest bellies, who was escorted BY
Y. b. Hinton, L. 8. A. After the ceremony the
NJ arine Band gave some appropriate music, and
the AFFAIR went on with great eclat altogether.

y. Rankin, the President, has been raising
funds for it, and the Treasurer reports $500
paid for a site, and 1924 50 collected, mainly
in Ohio and Pennsylvania. President Rankin
comments:
Afer years OF close observation OF the various

mind that but few white teachers should he encouraged
TO South to teach among the Coored people. The
services Of COlored teachers will effect double the good
among their therefore believe it 10 be our
duyto encourage Colored teachers first, last and all the
time, when qualified And must hereafter look the
people Of the Sou IT, White and Coored for aid In all
educational enterprises, well TO the people of the
North. Again. IL is clear TO my mind that many of the
organizations OF the North said TO be for the benefit Of
the negro South in my opinion, humbugs and impo
stons the Coorod people of the South That OF
these enterprises benefit the negro will doubt
But in my opinion Of the leaders Of said Northern
associations are benefited more.
The few weeks spent North, IL surprised to find
that at almost every place visited except the Western
Reserve organized begging Association for the
poor negroeof the South What the poor negro OF the
South most needs to be etdOne Jy of his socaed
friends The Colored people OF the South be edu
cated and elevated principally through the influence Of
our Colored organizations, such as churches etc"
Part of this is just, and part otherwise There
is not very much begging now at the North
for "the poor negroes of the South" and what
there is is mainly in behalf of Education, in
which the Blacks are confessedly deficient
They must be helped little in their efforts to
educate themselves; but we welcome every
intimation that they are more and more dis
posed to work ont their own destiny, asking
for nothing but Equal Rights secured by Equal
LAWS.

HUNORS OF ERIE.

There was time when an Erie suit was to
the majority of mankind nothing but hope
less tange of legal perplexities. With the
progress Of years Of litigation the snarl perhaps
has not been perceptbly loOsened; but courts
and committees no longer bOggle over it with
such Owlsh dullness, and the great warfare is
now enlivened with sparks of humOr and flashes
of illumination. In court the respected Con-
troller of the Company has not only convulsed
us with comic evidence, but thrown flood
of light upon the extraordinary operations
of the Erie Directory. In the Legislative body
we have reached still further Developments,
and there, too, we have our little jokes. When
Mr. Charles Burt, representing the holders of
two-thirds of the Erie stock, came over from
London to look after the interests of his
clients, and American holders began to
combine with him for mutual protection, the
Ring first tried to break up his alliances by q
report that he had resigned and was going
home in despair When this failed, and Mr..
Burt appeared before the Legislative Commit
tee at Albany petiioning for a repeal Of the
law which keeps Fisk, Gould, Tweed, and Com
pany in Office against the wishes Of the share
holdes, he was suddenly confronted by the
correspondent of comic newspaper, who de-
clarod that he too represented certain SHARE
holJers number and identity unccTtainl and

An Alabama sardn has lately been putting
forward some ideas which, we fear, are rather
out of date, concerning the African race, or. a,
he styles it, the prognathous race. We i'm.
agine that his theories must have been worked
out during the old times of Slavery, which, he
may not be aware, has been for some years
abolished in this country. For example, no
gives some ideas as to the proper way of gov
erning and furnishing individuals of the prog.
nahous, or negro race, the philosophical nature
of which may be judged by this passage:
"They also regard a right, when punished no.
TO De punished with anger but with cool delibera-
ton. They also require right when punished to bs
punished with whip switch, and not with sick or
the fist In this particular the clinical law Of their
ture is different from all other human remark
able chronological popularity Of the prognahous race is
that any deserved punishment inflicted them with
switch, cowhide, whip puts them into good humor
with Themselves and the executoner OF the punishment
provided he manifest satisfaction by regarding the
odense az atoned for"
In considering these beautiful principles Of
nature and government, We cannot but think
how unhappy it is that the social system which
made it possible for White people to apply
them to "the prognathous race" has passed
away. But, alas how many chronological theo-
ries were oyerthrown at Five Forks

the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. Inc
money for the purposes of the bill is 70 DC
raised by the issue of scven-pcr-cent Dock
bonds, having at least thirty years 10
run. There is no limit to the amount
of indebtedness that may be incurred
in this manner. and no reason why the Con-
troller and Sinking Fund Commissioners should
not issue the bonds long before they are
needed, and thus compel the city to pay inter-
est on idle money. A provision In the ior,''ei
Dock bill that any member of the Board might
he removed by the Mayor for good cause has
been omitted. As the bill now stands, the
Commissioners might abuse their powers prac-
ticaly with impunity.

In his great Blanket speech on Saturday, the
Hon. James Brooks avOwed himself convert
to the principles of Protection-at least in
theory. "The proper way to protect American
"labor in California" said he, "is to exclude
"Chnese immigration" Of course it is
jolly to have such distinguished
man as Mr.. Brooks admit the propriety of pro-
tecting American labor in any way ; but the
trouble with the Hon. James is that when he
gets a good idea, as he does once in a
while, he makes bad application of it. If
it is good policy to protect American laborers
by imposing prohibitOry duty on Cinnamon is
it not good policy to encourage American
labor by q protective duty on woolens!

That the Funding bill is not dead and buried
5n the House Committee on Ways and Means
is evident from the encouraging intelligence
shat the National Bank clause will be favora-
bly reported, and the less agreeable rumor that
dle proposition of funding greenbacks in a
four per cent bond is now the obstacle to the
adoption of the bill. Western members of
House and Committee regard the clause in
question as simply measure OF currency con-
traction, not reduction of the debt. And
since the Senate has refused to admit Of any
positive expansion the House is now resolved
that there Fhal DO no indirect contraction.

1t has rarely happened that the same men
and women who began 30 great work as that
of the American Ant-Sfavery Society lived to
rejoice over its accomplishment. None per-
maps Of the enthusiastic apostles of liberty
who organized this association tlirty-seven
years ago believed that in single generation
every slave in the United States would be
freed, and every political disability he removed
from the long oppressed race. In the ordinary
course of events, this would have been the
work of a century But Providence took it
out af the hands Of feeble association, and
suddenly, IN the whirlwind of battle and the
shock of armies, the task of regeneration was
achieved. If the cOnsummatiOn was effected
by q mightier power than these benevo-
lent associates ever thought of inyok-
ing, theirs at any rate il the credit
of long and faithful toll. and of good
service in preparing the change Of public sem
tinent which found expression in the growth
of the Republican party, and has its final EN-
pIasis in the Constitutional Amendment which
has Just been proclaimed. In the meet
ing therefore ON Saturday, at which the
American Anti-Slavery Society was formally
disbanded, the surviving members could
lsok back with satisfaction upon the part
they had played in onr second revolution,
as well as survey with thankfulness the com
.pletion of their purpose. Their aim is reached.
They may now rest from their labor5, secure
of the grateful remembrance of posterity,
which will appreciate their designs, if it can
not always nraise their Judgment.

Some little time since we were informed of
the Tremendous fact that The Uondon) Saturday
Reriew Of the 12th of March had published an
article upon "The Shrieking Sisterhood" which
was uncommonly severe upon Women Reform
ers. We have waited with such patience as
Providence permitted for tho reception, by
regular course of mail, of the article itself !;
and, having read it, We do not find our equa-
nimity seriously disturbed. Indeed, for The
Saturday Reric'r, the article is remarkably quiet
good-tenpered, and sensible, and advances
opinions which we also. TO the best OF our
