xEEo OF PopULAR EDUoArrox.

SEE0 OF POPULAR EDUCATION.
Universal suffrage and universal educa-
ton should go hand ia hand. TIE need Of
popular education has never been more
fOrcibly put than when Mr.. Eaton, the fed
eral commissioner OF education, said:
While SOO,000 voters, turning from one
side to the other, would control presiden-
tid election, this is one-sixth less than the
number Of iliterate males entitled to vote.''
The facts ale even worse than this, howev-
CT. Grant majority over Seymour was
Only S34 900, so that change Of 10000
votes would carry the day. This is less
han half the number of illIterate males en-
tiled to vote. Meanwhile, in South Caro-
Ina, which contains the most ignorant
population of any State, sll the free schools
were closed months ago, because the APP
propriations for them had been stolen by
the Radical authorities, to the last cent.
When Texas was formed as State, 1t had
the largest school fund of any Southern
State, If not Of any State in the Union. It
was admirably managed up TO The time the
war broke ont, and was not impaired dur
ing the war. But since the carpet-bagger,
Davis, has been Governor, il has been en-.
TREY squandered and has disappeared, the
State treasury is bankrupt, and a cruel
burden Of taxation has been upon the
peop'e, and vet the children ara srfferinp
for the want Of schools. These are some
Of the fruits Of Radical csrpet-bag rue.
Ga the other hand, in Virginia, where the
Conservatives are in lower, an excellent
system Of free schools has been established
aud the freedmen and their children are
afforded the means of instruction, which
can alone fit them for intelligent exercise OF
the elective franchise.

The Gentle Savage ON His Native
Heath - Aboriginal Dandies and
Bellies at Ute Council.
A correspondent of the Denver Meas
write from the Los Pinos Agency as fol-
lows:
A Ute village, l suppose, Is much like any
other Indian villsge-is just as dirty, the
tepees are of the same shape, the women
look quite as frowZy, the bucks are just
as dignifedly lazy, and the papooses just
as naked. 1t affords some pleasure
perhaps real satisfaction-to one accus-
toned to the straight jacket fashions of
the metropolitan centres TO see with what
abandon these Indigenous people attire
themselves. In fact some of them have
nothing but band on. When the high
jointers-that is, the august and austere
commissioners-drove into town. can't
get out of the habit of calling this huddle
of agency town-some Of the high muck
a mucks and bucks Of elevated position,
youth and hoary age, came out to meet us.
And they were dressed up in their good
Clothes, to, and 1t was quie apparent
to me that the Ute fashion inventor
and Ute tailors, generally, had
set their wits and their fingers to work to
prepare for the great occasion. How child
like and bland did that old heather, with
the variegated countenance and squint eye,
appear as he rode up attired in the north
west corner Of an old shirt tail cut en- train.
And how charming was that sweet faced
Hiawatha, her hair banging in unkempt
looseness about her mouth, who wore a
fragrant pine cone on her left breast, and
whose lower extremities were attIred
In charming pair of
peg topped pantaloons tringed
with the hair Of some old Arapahoe sinner.
1 shall not soon forget the picturesque scene
presented by youth of seven summers,
who, in the negligee costume of a simple
hickory shirt-ripped on both sides from
the bottom to the arm-hole-went waltziDg
up the road while csressing breeze sent
bot b sides futteriDg towards the heavens.
And then that dignifed old cuss attired
in an old fashioned muZzle loading
rife and a pair of red moccasins!
There was another fellow on a rearing
and fractions burro, who came pranciDg
around in full dress suit of whitewash
scalloped on the edges and looped up with
yellow ochre. There were others equally
elegantly, if not so fashionably, attired;
and was visibly affected by the scene
that dlifted across my vision as we moved
up to the agency building. Ute styles
are variegated this year, and colors
are mixed-being principally yellow and
red ochre and lamp-black, laid on in fan
tastic stripes. Fashions include a little
of everything. II you get a breech -clout,
pair of old army shoes, shirt guiltless
of soap and water for fifteen years, an army
coat, infantry shoulder-strsps, navy stripes,
plug hat made by the halter to his Ex-
cellency old Noah, the ship builder, and
sling lot of cheap beads promiscuously
around, you are rugged out in costume
that will be warranted to command envy if
not respect among the others of the Tribe.
A Ute buck is heavy swell on style, if he
doesn't save cent.

The British Arbitrator Refuses 20
Align the Decision.
LONDON, Sept. 14.-A special dispatch 10
the Times from Geneva says the award by
the Tribunal Of Arbitration to the United
States will only exceed three millions
pounds by triae. The decision Of the
court is signed by all the arbitrators ex-
cept Sir Alexander Cockburn, who will
give Q separate judgment, agreeing with
his colleagues only Ii relation to the Alabs-
ma award, which case constitutes the
greater portion of the total sutn. Damages
were granted In the case Of the z lorida by
vote of against I, and In the case of the
Shenandoah By against 2. All the other
cases presented by the American Govern
ment were dismissed by the Court. The
Times says:
"While England has been held RESPONSE
bic for the depredations Of several Confed-
crate cruisers, we yet retain the conviction
that morally she Is not to blame. The
United States government claimed DANA
ges for losses caused by dozen vessels.
but the court of arbitration held England
liable unanimously only in the case Of one
vessel. This Is plain evidence Of a belief
In the genuineness Of our neutrality during
the war in the United States, and disproves
the fagrantly unjust accusations of I'M
friendliness In the American case presented
at Geneva. We cheerfully consent TO pay
the sum awarded as tending to obyiate
similar difficulties in the FUTURE"

liz, president Of the court, read the argu-
ments of the arbitratOrs concurring in the
decision Of the tribunal and announced
that the sum awarded the United States
was 1880, 900 dollars in gold. Sir Alex
ander Cockburn refused 10 sign the decis-
ion of the tribunal. Count Schlopis was
