are the most practical and will be like
ly to prove most beneficial Of any re.
ports yet offered. 1t certainly ap.
pears that lack Of conveniences

for Superintendent's notice. The
writer intimates his preference for a
minute report regarding the plan Of
instruction in each school, which
would be simply beyond the capacity
of country newspaper, even should
it not overdo the Superintendent him.

&c. Now does the Senator mean that the
whole Democratic party will be absorbed by
Greeley and Brown, and the few Republicans
who viii follow them? Almost preposterOus
statement. The Democrats have not ADAM
doned their party organization, and as the few
Republicans who are with the Sage, by aban-
doning their party belong to none, but join the
Democracy, is it not idle to say anything else
than that this is 4 Democratic movement?
Great men have their failings as well as
others, and when these failings become pub
lie they attract notoriety in proportion to the
prominence of the possessor. The detection
of Senator Sumner is painfully notorious, as
he has always been on the opposite side of
the course but he is only following in the
course which has been trod by other great
Americans who have allowed their ambition
or passion to lead them astray.

Senator Sumner may not have the effect he
so fondly desires, L am, &C.,

on every corner, but the colored people hold
the balance Of power, and. understand how
to use it. Hon. r. c. Parker, of this city,
the present member of Congress from this
District, has been renominated by the Re-
publicanS, ana will be reelected by a very
heavy majority. There is one good thing in
his favor, and that is, he is a great favorite
OF the colored people Of this section Of the
country.
The colorcd people here at the West are
making some advancement in education, but
not so much rs might be desired. In Lcav-
enworth they have two quite fine schools
and a very good corps Of teachers. They
have all colored teachers this year, 1 believe,
for the first time and their principal, Mr..
Shorter, is regarded by them as being very
excellent teacher, and they have great hopes
of having their children well educated.
Leavenworth is a very fine city, and our
people there seem to be doing justice to
themselves and their race in the way Of edu-
cation and in other respects. Our people here
have not had the advantages that the people
Of Leavenworth have had, and consequently
have not made that advancement which
noticed there. The education of the children
has been greatly neglected. They have been
imposed upon by incompetent teachers, who
have taken no interest in the schools only
to get their money when due. They have
taken no interest in the children nor their
parents. They have allowed the children
to do just as they please in school-to come
and go just when they pleased. Many of the
parents, noticing this defect in the teach
ers, have kept their children at home, and,
consequently, they have made no advance
cided turn now, and feel sure that the col
orcd people of st. Joseph will have good and
orderly schools hereafter. They have no
white teachers this year, and the general
feeling is that they never wish to have any
more, unless they are different from what
they have had. L expect to take the first
month to get the school under my charge in
good running order, as it is in very dilapi-
dated condition but shall not hear single
recitation until good order is obtained.
st. Joseph is quite a fine city, and think
will be a very handsome and pleasant city
when the streets and sidewalks are repaired,
the pools of standing water, where the pigs
battle themselves, drained off, the pigs shut
portant element here on the streets and
sidewalks, and the old rebel element dies off.

To the Editor Of the Ne,o National Era:
SIR: AS Secretary Of the Republican
Convention held here to-day, it was made
my duty to furnish you with the following
resolution offered by Willer Robertson, Esq,
which was unanimously adopted, and request
that you publish the same:
Whereas we, the colored people of Desoto
county, Mississippi, have always looked with
reverence and love to the Hon. Charles
Sumner as our advocate and friend; and
whereas, under recent coalitions, we cannot
but look upon him as now allied with our
lifelong enemies-the Democracy-taerefore
be it
RESOLVED, That we view with regret his
present course, and think that he is deceived
by men who take advantage of his enmity
to our standard-bearer to make him their tool
to defeat kepublicanism.
The convention was large and enthusiastic
for Grant and Wilson.
