WASHINGTON, January 4.-The first
regular meeting of the Cabinet since
the recess of Congress was had to-day.
All the members were present.
A colored child having been admitted
to one of the public schools yesterday,
seven white children were In conse-
quence withdrawn by their parents.
Minister Low has received his finai
instructions from the State Depart
ment, and will leave for New York to-
morrow evening, and the latter city
for China, via California, next Satur-
day. 49,.
Considerable interest Is felt in army
circles concerning the contemplated
change in the assignment of officers,
whereby several who have been for
years on duty in different Bureaus Of
the War Department here. will be sent
to posts In the West, while many now
serving OIL the frontiers and ut other
stations will be assigned to duty In
this locality. 1t is not propable that
the orders to effect these changes will
be issued before the LIST of April, as
the different Chiefs of Bureaus have
been instructed to report the names of
officers for transfer by the 3lst of
March. This delay in issuing the order
Is owing to the fact that a number OF
the officers here will require time to
arrange their private business and
make proper arrangements for the
change Of station.

THE DISTINGUISHED DEAD OF

Rarely, In times Of ipeace, has death

Republican Rcsreschnaent.

There has been prepared at the
Postoffice Department . comparative
statement which shows very favora-
bly, the financial condition. For the
year ending June 80, 1869, only one
quarter OF which came under the
present administration, the expendi-
lures were 423, 3,69S,131 so; receipts,
18,344,5 $40 II; deficit, q, ,353, $50 80.
Since Mr.. Creswell came in there
have been added to the service as
follows:..S56 new postofioes, GIG new
money order Offices, 2,448,4 ,488 miles
of annual inland mail transportation;
and yet, with this increase Of service,
the estimated expenditures Of 1870
are but $25 ,58l ,095, only $l,ss2, ,951-
so more than was expended on the
interior service IN the year ending
June 80, 1869. At the same time
the receipts of the department. are
rapidly Increasing, and the ratio Of
expenditure eliminating to an extent
which is believed to warrant the
declaration that there will not only
be no deficit at the close Of the cur.
rent year, but justifying the expecta.
tions that the expenditures will fall
considerably below the estimates.

sells on distant errands, not leaving
guns enough in our harbors, or ma
rines enough in our Southern navy
yards to hold them against the en-
emy. The result, therefore, of Dem
ocratic rule was national credit ruin
ed, army aud navy powerless for de-
fence, treason rampant and defiant,
and the country on the eve Of fatal
and final discmberment. At this crit
ical moment the Republicans came
into power, and how they have gov
erned the national history will tell
The most gigantic Of rebellions has
been crushed; the great evil Of sla-
very has been extripated; the ma
tional faith maintained; great public,
works have been prosecuted to COM
pletion; the continent has been span
ned with telegraphic wires: the two
oceans have been connected with
iron bonds; our entire domain is or
ganized with civil government; new
States Of wealth and power have been
added to the Union, and old States,
purified as by fire from the faint of
treason, have been reconstructed and
once more clothed with their appro-
pirate powers. All these results
thave been achieved not only without
the aid, but against the efforts Of the
Democratic party.
A political organization of such re-
spectacle antecedents as the Federal
party was utterly destroyed by the
suspicion that in the hour of war ita
sympaihies were not actively on the
side Of the country. How much
more deserving Of reproach and
condemnation is the Democratic par.
ty which, through its Southern wing
actually made war upon the Govern
ment, while the Northern wing was
divided between active sympathy
with the rebels and tardy support ol
the National authorities. It is not wise,
I know, to keep alive animosities OF
inflame resentments, do not recall
these painful acts with any such desire,
or any such purpose. But I am pur-
suaded that great evils would result
to this country by restoring to power
the men who attempted to destroy it,
and believe it is an imperative and
patriotic duty to keep people aroused
to the necessity of averting even the
possibility of such a disaster.
Very truly yours,
J. G.. BLAINE.

1t has been truthfully said that
everything is educational, the
thoughts we think, the emotions We
feel and the sights we see. Thus
Judging, it cannot be denied that, in
these days of object lessons, pictures
are great educators. It seems to as
that teachers do not sufficiently re-
alize this. Did they do 50, should
we not see the walls of our school
rooms, even the most humble, hung
with pictures? The refining infu-
ennce of a beautiful picture upon
school is very great. 1t has an inde-
Unable influence, just as music has.
The fine ensravings which have be-
come 80 cheap in our day are invalu-
able in their educational influence
upon the tastes and feelings of chll.
dren.
But then children love color; and
for this reason, the wonderful m,-
provement of late made in the way
OF Chromos Is q God-seud to tbe
youth Of the land. They embody al
most the original fire of painting,
and, tor all practical purposes, may
be called work OF art at first hand,
while the expense Of them is only nom.
inal. Colored engravinas are, for
the most part, woundlng to good
taste. But chromo-lithography, in
its present protection, is able to put
the work of the master painter into
the hands of the poor, and that too,
in an almost perfect fac simile.
Messrs. Prang, of Boston, have
done much by their efforts, in this
direction to popularize art, and te
pnt within the reach OF the masses,
works, which to them would other
wise be utterly unattainable. We
see their works in some of our
schools, and would be glad to see
them in more. They offer to send
specimens OF their finest productions,
at vsry reduced rates, to Superintend-
cnts OF education, heads OF colleges,
principals of high schools and clergy
men, who will call the attention of
pupils and people to them, and ex.
plain what is intended by the art.
We call upon our teachers to seize
this opportunity to cultivate in the
youth taste tor the beautiful in art.
