Th. Political Polar Star Of the South.

Th. Political Polar Star Of the South.
Hon. a. 81. Stephens. in a recent let
ter to Mr.. j. A. Stewart, of Rome, Ga,
on tho qualifications of Congressmer,
thus points out the great goal to which
all q Southern politics should tend:
But the fact that good and true man
could take it the test oath) ought not,
IN my opinion, to be any objection to
any one in looking ont for members of
Congress- There ure some who can take
it that would not vote for. But my
reasons are not founded upon the simple
fact that they can take it.; they rise from
the fact of their radical, centralizing
principles, which are at war with the
whole framework of the Constitution.
A more ardent devotee to n perpetual
union OF the States under the Constitu-
ton than 1 am, never lived. My own
opinion is, that the surest guarantee of
this is the full recognition of the sove-
reign right Of each member to quit it
when in her deliberate judgment the
compact has been broken. This recog-
nized right, in the opinion of Mr.. Jeffer-
son, was the greatest security against
violations of the constitution, and O
complete check against ultimate central
ism or empire. When there is no such
recognized check the danger OF centrali.
zation is imminent and perlous.
1. however, do not require those with
whom act to agree with me on those
particular points. It is enough for me,
in NIL practical acts, that my associate
shall earnestly strive to prevent central
ism, and maintain, by his language,
votes, and efforts of all sorts, the rights
of the States in the Union and under the
Constitution.
While believed the right of secession
was perfect, yet considered it exceed
ingly inexpedient. Now that it has been
abandoned for all practical purposes as u
remedy, hail as political brother
every man in all parts of the country,
North and South, who is in favor OF
maintaining the Union as a Union of
Statcs-any one who is opposed to CEN
tralization and empire.
Yours truly,
ALEXANDER 81. STEPHENS.

OBJECTIONS TO THE CHINESE. While
the employment of Chinese as domestic
servants may be in many respects desira-
ble, it is az we'll to avoid undue enthusi-
asm upon the subject. a Boston agent
for securing the services of these has
many applications for them, but he is
obliged to cease advertising tho business
for an unforeseen reason. Cinnamon
arc very clannish, and object to being
separated from their countrymen, pre-
ferring to engage themselves in compa-
MES. There are said also to be some
disagreeable experiences at times, on the
part of family employers, in another
wny. They find that Chinese servants
are very peculiar rs to temper-quick to
take offence at slight and, to the white
man, uuinteliigiblc causes. And when
they do get into passion, resort to wea-
pons of some sort may not unfrequently
be looked for. At all events, this is
what some people say who profess to
know them we'll. That Chinamen can
be ferocious, the Tien-Tsin massacre
shows clearly enough. Without, there
fore, disconragiDg the new movement in
regard to domestic service, it may not be
amiss to suggest seeking fuller informa.
tion upon the subject than we now have.

Mark Twain has executed for the
Buffalo Express clever burlesque upon
the war-maps of the Tribune. It is en-
titled the "Fortifcations of Paris" and
exhibits the positions of st. Cloud,
Vincennes, the Erie Canal, Jersey City,
Omaha. Accompanying it are ''of1icial
concentrations. General Grant says,
cit is tho only map of the kind I ever
saw" Bazaine says, "if had had this
map would have got ont of Metz with
out any trouble" J. Smith writes that
it completely cured his wife Of frccklcs,
aud Napoleon admits that "it is very

No less than nineteen young women
arc studying medicine at the University
of Zurich, in Switzerland. All of the
subjects OF nstruction-anatomic and
surgical, as well as medical-are treated
OF before the students of both sexes, and
that without the least embarrassment.
at Vienna in Austria, at Moscow in
lsussla, and at Paris in France, the same
plan of educating the sexes togther in
the medical schools is persued with the
same happy results.

Educate the masses-the masses OF
'colored people, as we'll as tho masses of
white people. Lift the colored man
from the dominion of the bad and iu-
cendiary man who plays with his mind
as long as it is kept in the dark. Dissi-
pate the thick darkness that Expresses
his political vision, and you dissipate the
power Of the imposters who impose false
shows under the glimmering and cnsnal
rays of light that penetrate this thick
darkness. The political power of the
colored race has been established. Their
capacity to use political power must be
improved or the rest of US must be ruined.
While educating them, let this be done
in way to avoid all prejudice of race or
color. Statesmen must deal with facts
as they are, not as philosophers and the
orisers would have them to be- There
is all over America an opinion and
sentiment averse to mingling the two
races that are here. The colored people,
were they i'll the majority and in power,
would be controlled by this sentiment,
and this opinion, fully az much as the
white people are controlled by this senti-
naent and this opinion. It does not
arise from the consideration thnt the
colored man was slave. The aversion
to mingling the blood of the white and
the red races (and the red race was never
enslaved) is almost as strong as the
aversion to the mingling of the white
and the black races.
Nature has put this mark of color on
distinct races of people. The laws did
not do that. In order to accomplish
what is good for both races, it is we'll for
the laws to recognize what nature has
done. This mark of color does exist
here in Virginia At present it is 80 dis
tinctly recognized, that to require both
races to mingle in the public schools, is
to render the public schools valuable to
neither. Those who wish to enervate and
to paralyze the whole scheme of general
education, could not use more effectual
means than to compel this mingling of
all races and colors among those who use
the public schools. The enemies of edu-
cation have efficient allies in those who
agitate this fusion Of races in the soho lis
of Virginia.
Let oil unite, says the Richmond En-
Quirer, not in what is theoretically most
commendable, but in what is practically
most useful. To educate the masses of
the children of tho country-white chill
dren and colored children-is the great
object to be accomplished. Let the most
available mode Of doing that work be
adopted. Mere political hobbies ought
not to be ridden on that sacred ground.

bearing the fearless mronaut. Miss
Lottle st. Clair, in her thrilling mid-air
voyage, and tho host of Arabs, clowns,
lenpers, gymnasts, acrobats, cquestrians,
with certainly the most beautiful stnd of
horses that ever entered the arena, leave
tomorrow morning for Petersburg, Nor
folk, Portsmouth, Weldon and other
Southern citis. To speak in praise of
this most excellent company would be
supertluous. The entire corps, gentle
manly and polite in department, is, Mt
the same time, each and every one star
III the equestrian world.
"The thrilling equestrian spectacular
drama of Mazeppa, the creation Of
Byron's master mind, adapted to the
ring by Col. Miles, Of Cincinnati, with
all the costly trappings. original music
and thrilling tableaux, will be presented
each evening. We desire to say to our
brethren of the press, South, in their
reception of Mr.. DeHaven and his great
circus, that the institution is truly
worthy of their commentator and
praise. Over 800 people were turned
away here last night, unable to find
standing room, and the crowd would
continue for week, were they to remain.
"We earnestly commend Col. Davis,
the general agent of this organization,

plished gentleman, to our friends"

1alsc 10 sny tnat the General was opposed
by the Emperor in his ideas and in the
orders he was able to give, for his Majesty
only met him for n moment on the field
Of battle between 8 and 10 o'clock. The
General was coming from Balau, and
the Emperor asked him how the battle
was proceeding on that side. The Ge-
neral replied:
''Sire, things are going on as well as
possible, and we are gaining ground"
To tho observation which bis Majesty
made that on officer had just warned hi m
that considerable corps of the enemy
was outfanking our left, the General
replied:
Every we'll, 80 much the better. Tt is
necessary to let them do SO; we will
drive them into the Meuse and we sh all
gain the victory"
These are the only relations which the
Emperor had with General Wimpffen
during the action, and it is equally false
to say that there was the slightest alter
cation between the Emperor and tho
General. When they separated tho EN-
peror embraced the General most affcc-
tionately.
