The Mixed school Question i'm
Ohio

In Norwich township, Franklin coun-
ty, in the loyal State of Ohio, there are
two separate classes of schools based on
the recognition of race and color, one
for the whites, the other for the blacks.
The latter took il into their heads, that
equal rights meant not the right to as good
school accommodations as those possessed
by the whites, but the right to mix, and
applied for mandamus to override the
decision of the Directors, who could not
see it that way. The result is that the
Supreme Court refused to issue the man
damus and sustained the constitutionallty
of section thirty-one of the common
school law OF Ohio. 1t decided that the
organization of separate schools for col,
ored children is not in conflict with the
provisions of the fourteenth amendment
Of the National Constitution.

EDrroRs CLARIoS

EDITORS CLARION:
Ii was the good fortune OF your CORES
pondent % attend an Exhibition, consisting
ofdialogues, charades and tableauX. given a
Richland Academy, by the school, assisted
by the young ladies aud gentlemen Of thai
vicinity, on Friday. 10th inst. We rarcly
have the opportunity OF enjoying such {
treat a We did on that occasion. Tn,
pieces were well selected. and the excellent
manner in which they were performed drew
forth frequent and loud applause from an
apprecialive audience.
IL would be unjust Go discriminate where
\ all cid so well. ana a we cannot give full
description OF all the scenes which we wit.
messed. within the Limit OF tins communi-
cation, we will content ourself with only a
short sketch.
AT seven o'clock respectable audience
Dad Assem- bled, when the curtain was raised,
revealing 10 Us a stage neatly arranged and
tastefully decorated. the sight 81 which was
a foTetaste of what was 10 follow.
The first scene was tableau entitled the
Bouquet of Beauty" 10 was made up Of
rare aud choice overs, from the sweet little
bud, which has not yet unfolded IT, petals
to the fuil-blOwn rose. which ha- Just come
forth ga all its beauty and lovcliucss. Com
icuous in this tableau was "a sweet little
girl Of only four or live summers. who re-
peated several stauzas of poetry tu man
ner which would have done credit 20 one
of five times her age.
Amer seeing this tablcau we concluded
that it, name could be Improved 10y putting
''beauty" IN tie plural number.
After this tablestu came the Matrimonial
Advertisement" in which the parts were
well rendered, To the great amusement Of
those who we're mot Ised' 10 such things.
The characters in Leap Year were well
sustaiued-so well, in tact. that an cnthusi-
attic bachelor la the audience could not long
er restrain his feelings. which had been
wounded by Cupid's darts, but began ear
nestly To whisper sweet words of love into
the ear Of the fair damsel who was by his
side, Ia the no little amusemcnt OF those
around him.
The dancing Dutchmau' followed. Ia
which the lager beer vendor himself was
eclipsed by the young mau who acted TIE
part Of Dutchman.
We considered the Wreath of Virtue
one of the best pieces of the evening. The
youdg Ladies who represented tile charac-
tiers la this piece were elegantly aud appro-
priatcly dressed, and performed admirably
the parts assumed. We almost imagined
ourself in fairy-land.
There were several other scenes. la which
the boys and girls. although on the stage
for the first time, did Themselves uud their
instructors much credit.
The Exhibition was closed with "Cindcr-
ella, or the Glass slipper all the parts oi
which were well rendered. The fair Gin
derella and the other young ladies All
proved themselves worthy of the prince 49,
or any other man.
In a word. Messrs. Editors. the ENhibi-
ton was "A grand success, proving conelu-
sively "a an present that Prof. .lohn-oQ and
his accomplished assistant, Mr.. Norrcii

We have observed that neither the \.
Y. World nor the Washington Patriot,
which have gone back on the Liberal
movement, have uttered syllable of
objection to the platform adopted at Gin
cinnati. They object to the candidates
only. We cannot speak for the Northern
Democracy, but we are sure we do not
misrepresent the feelings of the Southern
opposers of the Grant Administration In
saving that the Convention could not
have found in the Republican ranks two
men more acceptable to them than Gree
lev and Brown. The statute OF llmlfa-
tons applies to 'santecedents" prior to
1865. when new account was opened.

all the Northern Republicans, proposed

There is serious talk in Radical circles
since the nomination of honest old Horace
to take down Grant and attempt the re-
union of the Republican party on some
other candidate; and it is mentioned as
significant that the Baltimore American,
edited by the chairman of the RepubE-
can Committee of Maryland, has a
striking editorial, calling upon the Phil
adelphia Convention to reunite the party,
and intimating that the only way in which
this can be done is to select another can
didate than the gift-taker.
Our own opinion, however, is that the
immense army of Oficeholders whose
bread and butter depend upon the
continuation of the Grant Adminlstra-
ton, will counterfeit the movement.

Alabama and the Liberal Pro-
sSrSRlnHme-

The Montgomery Advertiser, the Off
cial paper of the new Democratic Adj
ministration of our sister State, gives
forth no uncertain sound in saying:
Certainly the Democratic National Con-
vention, without the least abandonment OF
the inevitable political principles OF the
canvass. could ratify the cincinnati ticket,
if II be expedient so to do. We have al
ready intimated our distinct RESOLUTION 70
be ruled by our great and noble party, anu
to sink or swim with it; but we nave
right 10 say, at this stage of the discussion,
that we had as lief support Horace Greeley
as any other Republican of the past decade,
and that ouI impression is that the Clncln-
natl candidates, on the admirable platform
adopted, if cordially supported by the
Democratic and Conservative party. can DE
elected bv an overwhelming majority. The
situation of the country has become 50
alarming, and the future of our peace ana
liberty so threatening, that we must now
seek safety and consult self-preservation as
the first interest and the first duty.
The Alabama Convention will meet on
the 18th, and will doubtless respond to
the views which have been expressed by
Tennessee.

When the recalcitrant n. \. World
attempts TO drive Democratic support
from Horace Greeley on the ground OF
''his lifelong opposition" to DeNocracy,
it ought not to forget that the present
Democratic party in the South which Is
confidently relied upon for considerable
anti Grant vote, is composed largely OF
Old Line Wings who would find in the
obsolete records of Mr.. Greeley which
the World has hunted up, no cause OF
complaint; hut rather the reverse. The
World is treading on ground that 1t had
better avoid. Old documents are dan
gerous things in more senses than one.
If the elements of opposition to Grant
are to be concentrated and welded for
the overthrow of his Administration, II
can only be done by ignoring dead issues
and records, and making the contest
on the living questions of the hour.

pressions of sympathy were heard from
every one present; then the great contrast
between this and our old and ever beloved

The following communication to At
torney General Morris, and endorsement
thereon fully explain themselves. We
will only remark that VIM. B. Avery
was County Superintendent of Public
Education and that he was returned to
the Legislature as elected to the Lower
Branch by the Board of Registrars, not
withstanding he was not qualified to hold
the position, he was permitted to do so
by the majority who controlled that body.
The reason being that he was Radical
of the strictest sect. Gen. Morris now
informs the Board of School Directors,
Teachers, and People that they should
not recognize Avery as Superintendent,
moreover, that he is subject to Indictment
by the grand jury of the county. We

The Vicksburg Herald seems to be
unduly concerned lest somebody will
''dietate" to somebody else in the matter of
the Presidential programme. If our friend
McCardle, the traces of whose vigorous
pen are discernible in the Herald, does
not own the right of monopoly in the
White Hat business, he has no cause OF
complaint. No one has taken more
stock in it than the Herald. Even our
own torpidity is warming into zeal under
its glowing enthusiasm, in spite of our
effort to be 'car-lm."
We have noticed that the class known
as politicians (whO, by the way, do
great deal of hard service without remu-
neration) are uncommonly reserved at
this conjuncture, while the masses, ON
the contrary, are more than commonly
demonstrative Our advice to them is
to speak out. If they prefer an alliance
with the Liberals on the principle that
numbers win the day in elections, LEI
them say so: If, on the other hand,
they prefer to go it alone ON the Straight
Line (although we have apprehensioni
which we trust are not we'll founded, thai
it will lead to defeat), let them say that
