When brave man dies, or one who has
rendered his fellow beings service, it is
lifting to mourn for him and recount the
many good acts of his life which made
him SO useful and so beloved. Why not
the same propriety in grieving for some
NOBLE animal, who by his constant faith
tulness, has endeared him to oil who knew
him. We do not think it beneath the Dig
nity OF man to be attached to 50 grand
an animal as a horse, and It certainly Is
natural to mourn for him when he is gone.
We know Of case recently where the
death Of horse created real sadness to
the family of which he was an active
member. He had safely carried his mas.
ter through many of the hottest battles Of
the war, and had been atwice wounded
while in the service. Even in his old aye
he could not bear the beating Of q drum,
or the sound OF q band of music. without
proudly lifting his head and assuming an
attitude of interest and Importance. He
was twice stolen by the rebels. each time
breaking away and returning to hfs own
camp, once having rebel blanket on and
bearing evidences of having forded the
river to reacht'the boys in blue" During
q transfer on the Mississippi, when many
into barrel Of bacon, and when found
the grease was running down the sides Of
his mouth in q most suspicious manner.
The soldiers being pleased with such :
plucky horse, tried him with "hard tack
which he seemed to relish as much as the
bacon, and he was fed with the sans dnr-
ring the whole trip. They also taught
him to drink whiskey. and much to their
shame, got him 80 "beastly" drunk that
he ran away and nearly demolishsd bis
master. Many "reminiscences such as
these were often told Of him. after becom-
ing sedate old family horse. ThoN
who recognize the "Old Charley of our
sketch will be sorry to learn of his sudden
death about two weeks ago; he will long
be remembered as honest and Trustworthy
friend as man ever possessed.

questions, the education of our children
rises to-day. He is a fool or a mad-man
who attempts to ignore it. In it is involved
every element Of our material, moral, and
political well-bcing. To secure it we
should be willing to sacrifice party, sect,
caste, pride of race and money.
Whatever is good in all these, education will
bring back a thousand fold. 1t will give
competence to the poor and security to the
rich. 1t will assure progress and guaran-
tee to conservatism the stability of the
social order. It will cleanse every slough
of corruption and convert its Shiny oozc
now fruitful only with vicious weeds and
poisonous reptiles into a very Eden where
the river of Life mirrors every beautiful
flower and every goodly and Wholesome
fruit. This is what education will bring
Virginia, and to make it effectual it must
be lifted above the chances of individual
%volition, into the certainty of law, benef.
cient but unyielding and unaltel able.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

BY this we mean that the state shall
undertake to educate all its children and
provide against the ignorance or selfish
ness of parents and guardians by compell-
ing attendance at the schools. .a.
The ripe experience Of the most ell.
lightened nations of Europe, as well as that
of our wi most accomplished educators,
decides that compulsory education is The
essential condition Of mnioersal education.
Here in Virginia there are peculiar reasons
why we should take high ground upon this
question. Our system of free schools is
new. We have no old bottles to break up
and recast for the new wine of truth.
That has been done for us and a fair field Of
experiment, open to all that is be st, is be-
fore us. 1t is not for us to 60 back to the
old ideas and methods where Germany and
the other great educated states began forty
years ago. We should take their ripest
and best results, and build upon them the
future edifice of our school system. '"The
children are due to the Schools" is the
maxim of the most enlightened statesman
ship of modern times. Let us inscribe this
on banner, and summon every true
friend of education and every true Virgin
ian to uphold and enforce it. Here is sa-
cred ground, where all may come and aid
in working out the redemption Of Virginia.
Give US compulsory education and we will
give Virginia race of cnand women who
will restore all that was good in her past
and give to her legands of greatness, pros
perlty, and power, a glorious reality. Let
the miserable devices of partisan warfare
retire before these majestic issues which
press upon us, and which involve the we'll
being of ourselves and those who are to
after us in all the centuries. Impera-
tive, urgent, supreme, above all other

There is no enthusiasm for Grant"
we are told, and it is probably true that
there are few noisy demonstration either
for him or for any one else at this time.
But everywhere among the people we
have found something better than mere
excitement, a quiet confidence in the Adj
ministration, and an invincible determine
ton to continue it in its present reliable and
faithful hands. This is especially true
among the great body Of the farmers and
business men of the country. They feel
instinctiyely the need of stability in the
public policy. A safe administration is
guaranteed in the election of General Grant.
No sane man believes that he is dishonest,
or a usurper, or a tyrant who seeks to de-
stroy the liberties of the country. The
general conviction of all men who are not
rendered unfit to judge by prejudice is
that General Grant is honest and sincere in
his desire to promote the public welfare,
and SO, with little excitement there is the
confidence of strength among his friends
all over the country. The cruel and wick
ed attacks that have been made upon him
will not shake the confidence of the people
in his integrity. With all the jealous efforts
made to deceive them, the people are too
sensible not to understand the spirit of
these assaults, and they will vindicate their
confidence in the Prcsidcntbya triumphant
reelection in November. G

SAID Senator Morton in his indianapolis
speech: at makes no difference to us
whether the Democratic party shall sail UNI
der its old colors or under false colors !; the
people understand that after all this fight
is substantially between the Republican
party and the old Democratic party. 1t is
between Democratic principles and Repub-
lican principles, but there is this change
from what has taken place in its past Two,
four, eight years ago the Democratic party
went to battle under their W c%olors, pro-
Tossing their W principles. Now they
dare not do it. | therefore exhort patriotic
men of all parties to stand fast by the Re-
publican cause. If you are a business man
you cannot afford to have this policy
changed if you are a laboring man you
cannot afford to have this policy changed !;
if you are a capitalist you cannot afford to
have this policy changed. You want this
country to go on substantially as it is now
going. The people understand their W
interests, and | believe they will stand by
General Grant.D p H o..

1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Greeley that his
political record is alike accessible to friend
and foe that all the bitter and malignant
things he has said of the Democratic par
ty and its leaders, in the last twenty or
thirty years, can be reproduced to-day as
accurately as one can quote a text Of scrip
ture, and that he cannot qualify a syllable Of
his asperity, or do anything more than let it
work its own way, for or against him, in
the canvass. The same is neasurably true
of his laudation of General Grant and Of
the more prominent measures which have
characterized his administration. What he
has said against the Democracy, and what
in laudation of the Administration, must
remain without qualification for the rec
ord is indisputable, and Mr.. Greeley cam
not traverse it with any qualification that
would not be more damaging to his pros
poets of an election than an open denial
would be, when that denial could be met
by a hundred witnesses who would at
once produce the record against him.
lHlS TtCOTu vi MI. Orceiey, 50 uliIOItu-
nately accessible to all, has been one more
remarkable for its inconsistency than that
of almost any other public man in the
country. Indeed, we doubt if there is an
instance in all history where so great a de-
gree of vaccillation and uncertainty of prin-
ciple has been shown in the opinions of any
n public man. There is scarcely a man
of any note in the country that he has not
alternately praised and vilifed ; or, if not
vilifed, greatly disparaged in the columns
of the Tribune. He was both the friend
and enemy of President Lincoln. He
greatly praised, and as greatly disparaged
Henry Clay. He sought, with s~ycophancy,
the smiles of Daniel Webster, and, not
getting them, heaped all manner of person.
al detraction upon his head. The same was
to a greater or less extent true of Silas
Wright, and of all the more prominent
statesmen who have passed away in his
time. OF the living statesmen of the coun-
try, especially those in its southern section,
all have felt more or less the envenomed
shafts of his detraction.
