Education of Youth.

We all see the sportive, elastic,
quick, sharp, unwearying work OF the
senses of little child. We do not
all of US bear in mind to how fearful
an extent those senses are bruised
and deadened by the pedantry of our
pedagogues. Men who cultivate those
sciences in which success is insepara-
BILE from agile sense, know at what
cost and labor, in later life, sometimes
even in their full prime, they have
had to go back and undo all that their
schoolmasters have done-have had
to become little children again. for the
sake of sharper eye and quicker
ear. To ourselves, there is nothing
more disheartening than to study u
little boy, of eight or ten years of
age, who has never been to school,
tracing out in his mind with ease mas
cent scientific capabilities then to
know the same little boy after he has
enjoyed for two or three years the
great advantages of grammar or a
commercial school, or private acad-
envy, and to find his mind as blank
and deadened as his moral nature.
We are apt to forget into what q
Wretchedly cramped and artificial con-
dition so many generations of school
masters have bred us. Each of us,
generation after generation, has very
early been made to put Chinese shoes
OH most of the feet of his mind

The workingmen of the 18th Con-
gressional District, are talking of put
ting nomination candidate for
Congress, to represent their interests.
Having that object in view, a meeting
was held at Temperance Hall, in
Cleveland, last Thursday evening, at
which speeches were made reviewing
the course of Mr.. Upson, the member
from that district, and resolutions
adopted that the Cleveland Labor
Union put a candidate into the field
for the Congressional election, and in
viting the laboring men throughout
the district to cooperate with them.
If the workingmen of the country,
are tired of being made the "hewers
of wood and drawers of water for
the privileged orders that Radicalism
has built up in the country, let them
cut themselves loose from that organ
ization of public plunderers, and aid
in placing the Government in the
hands of the Democracy, the party
that has ever been the friend of the
laboring, producing classes.

Boutweil,s Rascality.

1t is well known that all of the
prominent members of the Radical
party, are the most active workers for
the BondhoIder and his interests, from
Grant downward-or upward, and
that every means are being used, not
only to secure " their pound of flesh,
but even more than was stipulated in
the contract.
The latest phrase this rascality has
assumed, in defiance of the plain let
ter of the law, can be discovered by
comparing the endorsement on the
back of the new and old legal tender
notes, by which an attempt has been
made to violate the law in regard to
the payment of bonds in legal tender
notes.
The endorsement on the old notes
read as follows: 81
"This note is legal tender for all
debts, public and private, except du-
ties on imports and interest on the
public debt, and IS receivable an pay
States"
Secretary Boutwell, has caused to
be inserted ON the issue the following !:
"This note is legal tender at its face
value for all debts, public and private,
except duties on imports and interest
on the public debt"
This is an ingenious Yankee trick
in the interest of the bondholder, by
one of its paid attorneys. This is
lawless proceeding, and will be a
strong argument in favor of repudi-
alton of the debt. If high govern
ment officials can violate the law and
contract in the interest of the holders
of government securities, how can
they complain of the people if they
should determine to repudiate the
contract? .v
The law says'the legal tender note
" as receivable an payment for all loans
made to the United States" Bout
well has assumed the authority to say
that it shall not be. He repudiates
the contract entered into by the gov
ernment and the holder of the note
without law or right, thereby setting
an example which will be initiated by
those who favor the reputation of
the entire debt. If it is right to vio-
late law in one way it is in another.
If he repudiates the greenbacks, the
people will repudiate the bonds. Why
should the people be swindlcd and
the bondholder protected ?-Seneca
