PUBLIC EDUCATION.

We propose to give especial attention to
this matter during the present winter. Our
friends everywhere are requested to send
us facts of interest as they may transpire
in regard to the working of the public
schools. In this city the excellent charac-
ter of the schools is becoming matter of
common remark. Superintendent Binford
is devoting himself with intelligent energy
to introduce every improvement known
elsewhere. The new buildings will soon
be ready for occupancy, provided with
every accommodation and appointment re-
quisite to successful teaching.

WEDNESDAY EvE'G, NOV. %, 1871.
DEMOCRATIC BLIND sTAGGERs.

The present condition of the Democratic
party reminds us more of horse suffering
from blind staggers than anything else we
can think of. Equally helpless to perform
any service, and unwilling to lie still, it
alternately knocks its head against the solid
pavement of facts, and strikes blindly any
who come within reach of its heels.
But yesterday it was vomiting itself as
the political Colossus, and ''bestrode the
land, warning we little men Republicans)
to creep under its huge legs, and peep
about, to find ourselves dshonorable
graves" to-day it is Uriah Heep," umbly"
begging to be allowed to clothe its naked
ness in surplus Republican garments, to
cover itself from the pitiless storm of pub
lie Indignation which has swept so effective
ly through Tammany, its garden of golden
delights.
The New York World, having taken a
survey of the situation and surroundings,
concludes that there is no possibility of
Democratic success in 1872; and as in
ante-bellum days the party for which it
pipes its childish TREBLE" sought for
Northern men with Southern principles,
it now recommends prompt and laborious
search be made for some Republican (?)
with Democratic principles, who will con-
sent to carry the now hopelessly dropping
standard of Democracy in 1872; and by
slmmoning to it every man with crotchet
ora grievance, muster a force to its support,
which may prevent the final catastrophe in
1872, and leave the party with vitality
enough to grow to something like victorious
proportions by 1876.
10 the several gentlemen, some of real
ability, others of more assumption than
ability, who are said to be coquetting with
the agents of Democracy for the honor (?)
Of nomination against President Grant, we
commend careful examination of the record
ed vote on the nomination of Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in the New
York convention 1868, when the True Re-
publican candidate received half vote. If
the convention to meet in 1872, is better
drilled than that which met in 1868, and
gives the True Republican candidate the
nomination; the people will assuredly
place their stamp upon it; and their en-
dorsement by popular vote will be about
equal to the half vote in convention 1858.
When the people have detected and de-
feated powerful frauds like Tammany-
with its traditions and its gold-such a
pitable sham as Republican mask placed
over the brazen face of Democracy las it
has shown itself since 1860 will be discov-
cred, exposed, and crushed into political
oblivion.

STEAM PLOWS.

In another column will be found an inter.
esting communication from the New York
Eceniag Post upon the steam pillow.
We have immense tracts of land in Viz.
ginia, free from stumps and stone, and
possessed of strong clay soils, never YET
stirred below six inches in depth. These
lands require only deep and skillfnl culture
to become very productive. They furnish
splendid opportunities to demonstrate the
feasibility and value of steam cultivation.
Lands near the great market are the proper
places to introduce these expensive ma
chimes, rather than the fertile prairies of the
West.
The value Of horse feed here is large
element in farm expenses, and the saving
effected by steam over horsepower in this
particular alone would determine its choice,
if once fairly tried. In the West teams
can be kept at less than one-half the cost
here, but the products of the farm also sell
for proportionally less. We have large
farmers and capitalists who ought to be in
terested in this matter, and whose public
spirit could hardly be directed into more
promising field.
The cost Of engines and complete equip.
ment of a gang of steam plows will not
exceed $4,000 at this time. Although
this sum seems large, it is to be remem-.
bered that such pillow will stir to the
depth of foot or more, two thousand
acres of land in a year. The teams re-
quired to accomplish this would cost not
less than $4,000 dollars, and their annual
keeping fully as much. The help required
to drive and care for these horses would
certainly be equal to one for each four
horses, and their wages for two hundred
and fifty days not less than four thousand
dollars.
The steam pillow, on the contrary, is
worked by onc-third the force, and its
daily cost only for fuel and oil. A cord of
wool or a ton of coal feeds it all day, and
when its work is done it stops eating
Then the engine grinds, saws, threshes,
pulls stumps, when the season Of cultiva-
ton ceases. The comparison proves clearly
an enormous saving in steam cultivation,
when its cost and the quality Of work done
is fairly estimated. Who will give us the
first successful example in Virginia /? Some
of our large farmers could easily do it, at
great profit to themselves. -l
The State Agricultural Society ought to
initiate it. Several neighbors could very
