REPUDLICAEIsM \ FAILURE AT THE SOUTH
40 MORE RECONSTRUCTION NEEDED.

The reply which the President sent to
the Senate Yesterday to Senator Morton's
resolution, with regard to the condition OF
affairs in the southern States, has made but
little impression upon the Senate. With
the exception of a few extreme Radicals,
who are anxious to perpetuate the power
OF the Republican party in the South,
there is no disposition to NEEDLE with af.
fairs in that section. Anything like fresh
attempt at reconstruction would, it is
thought, react upon the Administration
and make it obnoxious before the people.
The majority of Congressman are disposed
to let the South alone, believing that it is
better to do this than to interfere with af-
fairs which belong exclusively to the sew
eral States. Notwithstanding, an effort
will probably be made to make some CAPT
tai out of the facts set forth in the Presi-
dents reply to Morton s resolution. But
the ablest politicians in the Republican
party concede that the South will be hope
lessly Democratic by the time the next
Presidential election is held Washington

the speedy organization of new railroad,
TO be run from this city into rich and
productive section Of North Carolina. The
route proposed is from here to Dinwiddic
Courthouse, thence to Boydton, i'll Neck
lenburg county, thence via GAINESVILLE to
HoXboro', in Person county, \. c., and
through portions Of Caswell and Alamance
countics-touching all important points on
that route to Greensboro, and tapping the
North Carolina railroad at the latter place
We also understand that the parties now
interested can count upon subscription Of
three hundred Thousand dollars from two
Virginia counties alone for the prosecution
OF this important undertaking. 1t is also
stated that the most prominent citizens Of
the portions Of North Carolina already mem
toned are deeply interested in this new
movement, and that vigorous efforts are
now being made to secure the desired OBJ
jects.-Petersburg Courier.

4 more glorious prosperity than we have

tional Land-Fund Committee much has
been said about poor yo,ln9 men and practs-
cal education, and many bludgeon.
weighted with this charge. has been levelled
ut the head Of the University. Well, we
have pretty hard heads up here. If we don't
we can stand that sort Of knocking till the
bludgeonS are all broken. The curse of
American education Is that 1t Is too shallow,
and this so-called practical education" is
dwarfing the practical interests Of the coun-
try. The only way to give a poor young
man practical education is to send him to
some high institution of learning and teach
him some useful profession thoroughly.
This is the sort Of education the University
aims TO give the young men who frequent
its halls, and she has given 1t to many poor
young men. IL the State desires to give its
young men the practical education that
we have heard SO much about, she
would do better to have them apprenticed
To the mechanics and farmpro and
around Richmond. and gain credit for GEN.
crosby by giving the whole of the land fund
to the negroes. Rut if she wishes to pro-
mote really practical, useful education in
the mechanic arts, in the bestowal of this
land scrip, there are but two ways Of doing
it. She must either hestow the half reserved
for the whites upon her established Univer-
sity, where private liberality has already
laid nucleus, or she must add few hun
dred thousand dollars to this half and es.
tahlish polytechnic institute Of high order
elsewhere.
| hope sincerely that the State will per-
feet system Of free schools for the educa-
cation of the poorer classes; but poor
young men can appreciate high education
rs fully as others, and turn it to as good ac-
count. The duty Of those who legislate in
the interests of education is only half per-
formed when they have provided for the
! one and neglected the other.
1t is idle for southerners longer to COM
| plain Of past misfortune or present power
ty. These are the times for vigorous, clear
sighted action. In the great commercial
revolution which the development of the
West is silently but swiftly efiecting glo-
rious day is dawning for the South but
| the transition from the old order to the
! new will be attended with its dangers, and
our only hope of a secure passage lies in
high education. Let the State be alive to
its duty. STUDENT.

THE Cincinnati and Chattanooga rail
rosd bill viii be considered by the Ken
lucky legislature on the 9th of January.
The supreme court Of Ohio has decided
that Cincinnati had the right to subscribe
ten millions to this road beyond the con-
fines of Ohio. It would be as unwiEe as
impolitic for Kentucky to deny to Cincin-
nsti, under reasonable restrictions, such
as are commonly imposed upon railroad
corporations, the privilege asked. Not
the least of resulting evils would be the
pretext given Morton, Sherman and other
consolidstionists for Intervention in mat
tsrs that concern States slone. Under the
clause Of the constitution authorizing
congress to regulate commerce between
the States, Grant and his imperial ring
may o seize the pet railroad OF Raleigh
and Bolivar, after gulping down all the
telegraph wires to Whet an appetite for
broad and narrow-gsuges.
