IT was funny slip of the editorial quill
when the Democl attic journals mot one but
dozen of them) announced that Minister
Washburne had come home to 20 into Pres
ident Grants new Cabinet on the 4th oil
March next. 1t looked like giving up the
fight before it was fairly begun. 1t was a
concession that Greeley stood no earthly
chance of an election. But it turns out
that Mr.. Washburne came home for no
such purpose, nor with any such expecta-
ton. He will ask for no Cabinet position.
He will be satisfied with his present post.
The country does not desire to lose his SER
vices as minister to the French government.
Through the terrible war between France
and Germany, and the siege of Paris, when
oil the foreign ministers withdrew, Mr..
Washburne remained alone, and won the
esteem and confidence of the conflicting
powers for his courage, presence of mind,
humanity and efforts to alleviate the suffer-
ings of all who applied to him for assis-
lance. The Germans who were in the city,
and their government, will never forget his
kind offices. Mr.. Washburne is true
type of the American citizen, and as such
is held in the highest esteem abroad as well
as at home. He will remain in Paris for
the next four years.

Exactly so. And yet by whose fault =?
You might have voted for President of the
United States all these years, if you hadn't
gone to voting for JEFF. Davis for some
thing else. The two things didn't dovetal
together constitutionally; and if you W ere
left out in the cold, it was nobody's fault
but your own, and pray don't whimper
over it now. When an attempt is made
to establish an Emporium an empi'fo and it
fails, let the failure go to the dogs and have
done with it. A free ballot T" is good
thing, but when mob surrounds the

tive assembly to pass san ordinance Of

bad thing, as the results of the last "twelve

ANTIauARIANs are again busy in guessing at the

1t must have been most remarkable
iceberg to have deposited those mon oliths
in the order in which they still remain at
Abiry and Salisbury plains. For Sir Inego
Jones states that he got his idea of con-
structing buildings in accordance with the
laws of acoustics from those old Druidcal
ruins, the interior of which were so ar
ranged that person speaking in one part
of the amphitheatre, could be heard in every
other part of it. Somebody will discover
by-and-by that the planet which we inhabit
has been "myth" ever since Adams
time, or that it was wiped out OF existence
six thousand years in advance of Planta-
mour's comet. -
1t is already shown that there never was
a William Shakespeare, nor William Tell,
nor Stonehenge, nor an arrowhead that
didn't split itself, nor fool that didn't run
mad after his own folly, nor an absurdity that
didn't find somebody to swallow it when
once finding its way into print. The next
thing we shall be called upon to believe is,
that thepyramids are an optical illusion, and
the majestic sphinx fata Norgana pro-
duced by the mirage that floats over the
thirsty desert.

WHAT 1T WOULD SECURE.

The election of Horace Greeley would
secure financial disturbance that would
result in panic equal to that of 1857.
1t would secure general lack of conf
dence in all our public securities.
1t would secure an immediate deprecia.
ton of our national credit everywhere.
1t would secure rise in gold and con-
sequent depreciation of our currency, with
corresponding huctuation of values in
respect to everything.
1t would secure the introduction of radl.
cal changes in our present banking system,
which would be destructive to the business
interests Of the whole country.
1t would secure an uncertain state of feel
ing among our manufacturers as to
whether the protective policy of the condi.
date, or the free trade policy of his party,
would prevail.
bitterness and the postponement of the
true reconciliation, which is Republi'
can party seeks.
1t would secure the resurrection of false
hopes among the secessionists of the
South and the return of all our old troub.
les.
1t would secure dishonest and unprin.
cipled men at the head of affairs who
would control Mr.. Greeley and shape his
policy in spite of his own uncertain con.
victions.
1t would secure foreign complications,
and the reopening of old disputes now
settled by friendly arbitration.
1t would secure the retirement of Loyal
men from office and the elevation of those
who tried to destroy the government.
1t would secure weak man at the head
of the government, who would repeat the
folly of Buchanan, and lack the mora
courage to save the Union If again threat.

1t would secure a loss of confidence in

WHO WOu.D Educate

1t will be conceded, by every person of
intelligence, that the great essential to the
permanence of Republican institutions is
education of the masses Of the people. The
ballot in the hands of an ignorant man is
a danger not easily exaggerated, and one
that cannot be too rapidly neutralized. The
manner of naturalization is question thai
has displayed diversity of opinion, many
claiming that the exercise of the right of
elective franchise ought to be quali-
fed, and the qualification educa.
ton; while others insist that the intelli-
gent use of the prominent privileges
guaranteed by the Constitution, should de-
pend upon the possession of property.
While the first proposition contains much
that is worthy of consideration, the last is
utterly repugnant, and both are seemingly
impracticable. 1t is devolved upon the
Republican party to find solution for this
problem, and it appears that their search
resulted in the discovery Of one not incon-
sistent with the genius of our institutions.
AT the last session of Congress bill, with
regard to this important subject. was pass
ed by the House of Representatives, Feb
ruary 8, but failed to obtain the final action
of the Senate before adjournment. the fol-
lowing sections of which are noteworthy :
The first section of this act provided that
the net proceeds of the public lands should
be forever consecrated and set apart for the
education Of the people.

LET no man rest on his arms till the
conflict ends with the going down of the
sun on Tuesday. The cannonading is now
over. and the sharp crack of musketry,
with the cleaning bayonet. must do the
business. The enemy must be driven from
his position, which is one of ambush and
concealment under false colors. The time
is short in which to do the work, but the
Gettysburg fight lasted only three days,
and we have that time left exclusive Of
Sunday.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-11-02

The fourth section provided that the
Commissioner Of Education, each year,
should apportion one-haf of the net pro-
ceeds of the previous year, with the whole
amount of the income Of the educational
fund, to the several States and Territories,
AM to the District Of Columbia, upon the
basis of the population thereof between
the ages of four and twenty-one years,
with the proriso, that for the first ten
years the distribution of this fund should
be made according to the ratio of the
illiteracy of the populations of the States,
Territories, and District, as shown from
time to time by the last preceding published
census of the United States.
The fifth section provided that each Of
the States and Territories and the District
of Columbia, should, before the LIST of
January, 1873, provide by law for the
free education of all its children between
the ages of six and sixteen years, be
entitled to its share of the first distribu-
ton. .......-
The eighth section provided that no
moneys belonging to any State or Territory
under this act should be withheld, for the
reason that the laws thereof created sepa-
rate schools for white children and black
children, or refused to organize system of
mixed schools.
The vote in the House was by yeas and
nays, from which it appears that 103 Re-
pnblicans voted for, and 7s Democrats
against the bill. 1t is evident from the &C
ton of the Democratic party on this ques-
ton that they are inimical to the education
of the masses of the people. The explana-
ton of their antagonism is that the Demo-
cratic party largely embraces the illiterate
element of our population, an element
without ability to think for themselves, and
consequently unable to properly estimate
the sophistries of their leaders. Let educa-
ton become as diffused throughout the coun-
try as it is in the Northern States, and the
Democratic party will cease to exist. To
none is this more patent than the astute
Democratic leaders. Ignorance IS their
tower of strength, the power by which
they would control the Republic. In times
happily past the people Of the United
States tested the theory Of ignorant rule,
and it resulted in rebellion, for only the
four millions of iliterates in the South
made rebellion possible. That result is not
so completely forgotten that the people are
willing to make second essay in similar
direction. and the disguise, called Horace
Greeley, by which the Democracy hope to
regain power, is every day proving fail
ure. ........ .-.....- -..|
Those in favor of education for the
masses of the people, though they have
been Democrats all their lives. must seek
it with the Republican party. There is no
other medium for accomplishing this most
desirable purpose. Then let all Democrats
who hold the perpetutity of Republican
institutions as something more important
than partisan triumph unite with the Re-
publican party in accomplishing education
for the masses Of the people and a
permanent foundation Of our form of
government.

LET every Republican in the State 60 to
the polls on Tuesday and cast his vote for
Grant and Wilson, the friends of peace and
reconciliation.
THE PARALLELS.

Washington, the acknowledged " Father
of his Country" pure, noble and patriotic
as he was, was nevertheless traduced and
maligned more than General Grant has
been. But the people whom he had carried
through the bloody scenes Of the Revolu-
ton, triumphantly reelected him. jack
son, :" the Hero Of New Orleans" was
villified and traduced beyond measure be-
fore the expiration of his first term
of office, and yet the glorious SER
vices he had rendered his country, during
the war Of 1912, carried him triumphantly
into the Presidential chair for the second
term. For the unparalleled patriotic SER
vice and devotion to human freedom and
rights, of Abraham Lincoln, the people
rallied to his support against the many de-
famers in his own ranks, and triumphantly
reelected him. Even he did not escape the
vilest and most envenomed shafts of parti-
san hate and malice.
And so it will be with General Grant, not.
withstandng the vmdictive assaults made
upon his character, and the black bundle
of falsehoods rolled up against his admin
istration of the Federal government. For
his glorious record in the past, in carrying
the people through the bloodiest and dark
est pages in our national history, he will
be reelected by the most triumphant
majority Of any President since Monroe's
time. Mark the prediction!

GREELvY oUTDoINc JOHNSON.

Horace Greeley condemned Andrew
johnson for reminding the animosities Of
the war by holding out false promises to
the South. Yet to-day he is doing more
mischief in the same direction than johnson
ever dreamed OF doing. johnson misrep-
resented the state of feeling at the North ;
Greeley has been doing the same thing.
johnson clothed rebellion with respecta-
bility Greeley would clothe it with honor.
johnson wished to extend amnesty to those
who asked for it: Greeley would force it
upon those who despise it-who spit upon
it as thing Of personal detestation and
scorn. johnson would have destroyed
few men in the Republican party; Greeley
would destroy the party itself. Johnson's
policy was to defeat the enactment Of good
laws; Greeley's policy, if carried out,
would practically nullify them outright.
Yet Horace Greeley was the bitter oppo-
nent of Andrew johnson, and called him all
manner Of hard names for his bad behavior.
To show how far Greeley has fallen in his
desperate efforts to reach the White House,
we give the following from the Tribune Of
July, goth, 1867:
We. who put down the rebellion have right
to dictate terms TO conquered rebels. VINO
denies the right Not the rebels. When they
laid down their arms to @ Cant, and Sherman,
and Sheridan, they laid down everything.
Technically, their property, their lives Were
forfeited by the laws they offended but humani-
ty and Christianity Piled for them, and the noble
argument that mercy was but justice convinced
their conquelors They had surrendered ev.r y.
thing, and what did the nation take Their lives
and liberties 1t gave, their properly 1t restored,
and all that 1t demanded was submission to the
terms which, for selfprotection, 1t had imposed.
Who denied therght to en- orce these conditions
Andrew johnson. He inspired with passion
of new resistance rebellion that was PROSTATE
at our feet. The fruit of his policy WAS riot, and
murder, and massacre fresh hatred between
the South and North the long and costly delay
of reconstruction. The nation hau resolved that
certain things should be done, and they have
been done, but at what cost? Every step that
We have taken has been over a Presidential veto;
loyalty wherever it has advanced has found
Andrew johnson barring the way; we have
fought every battle over again with him for the
enemy till very WEAKNESS OF the struggle has
given us new strength.
