After all the contradictory. dis,
patches, the latest news now is that
the bOmbardment Of Paris is liable
to begin at any moment, and that 1t
has BEEN delayed on account Of bad
roads, lack Of guns, &C., &c.-some OF
which may possibly be true.-The
Germans have evacuated Amiens,
but will return soon. They are said
to have captured Ham. One dis
patch says their supplies and ammu-
milton have been fully recruited.
The main subject Of comment lately
has been the Prussian announcement
OF disregard of the neutrality Of
Luxembourg. There is much talk

charges against Senator Sprague, for
certain alleged cotton speculations
during the war, are, Mt his own
request, to be investigated.-On
the 14th the House was mostly occu-

without decisive action. Farms

cans, wanted a more liberal bill.--
The Senate provided for an inquiry
into the expedieney of constructing
ship canal from Fort st. Philip,
below New Orleans,to point on the
Gulf.-The big feature in the Senate
on the 10Th was the great speech OF
Senator Schurz, defining his political

beyond further considering the
Amnesty bill.--ln the Senate on

s'New Departure Of the
Republican Party.1
When an able, honest and distin-

When an able, honest and distin-
ttguiss,st stSet ehfanI,s Morning Yor years
one of the highest places of trust and
power in the nation, sits down in
calm premeditation and prepares an
elaborate and careful statement OF
what he believes to be the condition
and needs Of our country, and of the
best means of reaching desired ends,
his views are certainly entitled to
careful consideration. And such is
the case with an article, under the
heading above quoted, which appears
in the atlantic Monthly for next
month, from the pen of Hon. Henry
Wilson, Senator from Massachusetts.
The article is very long, occupying
nearly 16 pages Of the magazine; but
we could wish every citizen of this
County, as elsewhere, might read it.
And, as many OF our readers may not
have the opportunity to read the
article in full, we make the following
synopsis of Mr.. Wilson's conclusions,
with some of the main points upon
which they are based:
Mr.. Wilson opens with quotation
ffeHa- " ebbster's great speech in reply
to Mr.. Haynes, in 1880, and remarks s
that now, as then, after the storm it
is well to take our bearings and see
where we are. The great change
wrought by the late war is, that
slavery is no more. Before the war
we had only a nominal Republic.
The people seemed to rule indeed,
but the slave power was the virtual
ruler, which, through the Democratic
party organization, dictated all
policies and appointments.
And now that this old tyrant is
dead, shall another take his place:
There is great reason to fear that the
Railway Interest of the country, II
not carefully watched and checked,
Will prove as oppressive as the
defunct slave power.
1t must be remembered that now,
in addition to the constant stream of
immigrants who become naturalized, ,
we have more than three-quarters of
a million Of voters who were lately
Slaves. And there must always be
immense and conflicting interests
demanding legislation for their
individual benefit. How can the
people decide wisely, and govern
themselves safely, unless they are
EDUCATED? And the voluntary efforts
that have hitherto been made to
educate the masses will not longer
be sufficient. "The two great neces-
sites Of the county at the present
time are Unification and Education. -
When we consider our vast terri
tory, our boundless resources, and
our Heterogeneous population, it be-
Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1870-12-22

comes evident that it cannot he safe
to leave the permanence Of the Union
to depend upon mere chance or
natural affinities. There must be
enlightened and organized effort to
increase and strengthen the unity OF
the nation. :.
Notwithstanding all that has been
done in our country in the way OF
popular education, we are still far
behind Prussia in this respect. Off
cialinvestigations have demonstrated
that we are even in reality vastly
behind the position to which we
generally think we have arrived.
Even at its best our system Of educa-
ton is not sufficient either in quality
or in extent, ,and it lacks also a proper
grading and arrangement and q
better application to the practical
needs of life. We must learn tc
learn outside of books, as well as in
tnem, In our SCHOOLS.
Now comes the second glorious
opportunity for the Republican party
The record of that party hitherto has
been noble. 1t has crushed the great
rebellion, destroyed slavery, recon.
structed the rebel States, paid mill.
ions of the Public Debt, preserved
the country from the financial panic
that is almost inevitable after grea!
war, and has been endorsed by the
people. Among its first duties now
are, to enforce the Constitutional
Amendments, uphold the national
credit, adjust the revenues in the
most satisfactory possible manner
carry out the policy of peace and
good faith with the Indians, main.
tain the honor of the Government in
its foreign relations, and reform the
Civil Service. To all these grea,
ends the Democratic party is essen
TALLY unfavorable or unequal. Fol
their fulfllment the continuance OF
the Republican party is therefore
essential.
But the Republican party is "a party
of progress. It's intent from the first
has been to accept and act wisely
upon the issues of the times as they
arise. The Republican party must
therefore take stand upon the
unihcation and education of the
people. ft must incorporate these
principles into its National and State
Platforms. ga system Of compulsory
education, established for more than
two centuries portions Of Germany
and for more than a century and 6
half i'm Prussia, has brought forth
fruits which the world see. Il
The lesson should not be lost on the
American people, especially upor
the Republican party"

For the Voter.
The Office Of County Sup't Of
Schools,

I propose to say few things upon a
subject in which all intelligent citi-
zens of this County are interested.
The subject is, the official Supervis-
ion of our Common School System
of education.
The creation of the Office of County
Superintendent was perhaps unex.
pected toa considerable portion Of the
people of Iowa, because of the gener-
al apathy, and consequent inatten-
ton to Common School movements.
In older States, this office, or one of
similar import and functions, had
been most earnestly recommended
in many successive reports from the
School departments, and the recon-
mendation fortified by an array of
facts and arguments of absolute CO.
gency and force The necessity for
this,, ~ sssre equivalent agency, in
the propr and successful administra-
ton of state System Of Education,
is evidem upon theory, without the
teaching: Of costly and disastrous
experiment. AS well expect to SIS
tain the leathful operations Of our
complex system of State govern
ment, without County as well as
State and Township officers, rs to
build up, nvigorate and sustain the
fabric of the Common School System
without every link in the chain OF
executive aud supervisory officers
complete a,d properly adjusted.
5a,A AT this very time there are many
citizens in Marion Co., shrewd and
intelligent, who cannot see utility of
this jolliee, especially of that part
which raduites the officer to visit tho
schools In the County. The utility
arises froih orSut of the system, and
is made apparent upon honest and
impartial investigation of our Com.
mon School Systsm. The first duty
Of our County tAe s. AA,,t is is he examina'
ton of Teachers. But, as this can
only enable him tp determine their
scholarship and theoretical knowl.
edge of the art Of Teaching, the next
step or duty is, the visitation of the
Schools, to ascertain the Teachers
skill and success in the practice of his
professionalism Of which are essen
tial to the granting Of Certificates
that shall be in all respects true
criterion Of the holders professional
qualifications. Additional cogency
is given to the necessity Of these
visitations, as thereby the officer
becomes acquainted with the wants
of every Sub-District in the County,
can advise with Directors and Teach
ers as to the management and appli-
ances of the School, and suggest
improvements, encourage the pupils,
and collect general information for
his Annual Report.
In consequence Of this apathy
existing in almost every District in
the County, i have not accomplished
what Is desirable by my visitations
last winter. Our proper right to
inquire into the condition Of the
Schools, and'to give advice, was very
we'll nndarst8od; but having been a
Teacher, I ana aware that it is better
to be reserved in the exercise OF
discretionary authority, than to be
ofiicious in correcting seeming incon-
sistencies. In most Districts, !
merely visited the Schools, took notes
of their conditions, advancement,
and the method Of teaching pursued
without a review Of the classes or
advice to the teachers, and
en- Favored to impress the advantages

somewhat exaggerated, and can scarcely
permit themselves to believe that the
complaints made against the officers of
registration are true or that the Governor
OF the State would sanction such viola
tons of private right. We assure these
men that the charges we have made are
literally true; that Boards Of Registra-
ton strike hundreds of legally qualified
voters from the list; that the men thus
stricken off are, IN many cases, honest
and upright taxpayers who never did
any disloyal act; and that the Governor
Of the State not only approves the con-
duct of these Boards but that 1t is some
times in obedience to his order, either
express or implied, Negroes are regis
tered Unfortunately; no one Of them
has, so far as we have heard, been sum-
moned to show cause why he should not
be stricken off; his oath, when required,
is accepted as evidence and his dusky
skin establishes his right to vote. But
in the State of West Virginia, white
man has, in the estimation of the Rad
ical Governor and his Boards of Regis
tration, no right which is worthy Of re-
spect.
