been long, and sometimes painfully
felt to exist. In the. transition stat
Of our people, in their struggling effort
10 attain that position in the Bod.
Io.G:;c, which we conceive to be thei
qua, it is regarded that much infor
nation, guidance, encouragement

consequence Of the lack of a medium,
through which these Deficiencies might
be supplied. We shall strive to make

past Of promoting harmony and union
among all classes and between all in
terests, We shall advocate the removal
of all political disabilities foster kind
ness and fo~rbearanoe, where malignity
and resentment reignod, and seek for
fairness and Justice where wrong and
oppression prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, weshal conserve
our best interests, elevate our noble
State, to an enviable position among
her sister States, by tho development
Of her illimitable resources, and secure
the full benefits of the mighty changes
in tho history and condition Of the
people and the Country.
Believing that there can be no true
liberty without the supremacy Of law,
We shall urge q strict aud undiscrimi- !
mating administration Of justice. .
TAXATION.
W. shall support the doctrine Of an \
equitable division Of taxation among
all classes, a faithful collection Of the
revenues, economy in the expendi-
lures, conformably with the exigen- "
,ios of tho State or Country aud the ,
discharge of every legitimate obliga- .

THE american J0U7tal Of EducGtion
for January, published at st. Louis, has
valuable plan for teaching Physical Science
in the public schools, recently adopted in
that city. 1t was prepared by w. I. iiar-
RS, the city superintendent, and cannot fail
OF being largely fruitful of good results.
The Educational Board have arranged for
its introduction, and the teaching of all
youth the rudiments of Botony, Physiolo-
gy, Zoology, Geology, Natural Philoso-
ply, &c.
The plan contcmplates oral lessons or
brief lectures illustrated as far as possible
BY experiments This is great step for
ward in st. Louis, where the public schools
before the war were very inferior. 1t is
the promise, and the guarantee, of pro-
gress which viii do more for the Central
City of the continent than dozen National
Capitals located there.
VIII not Richmond prepare the way to
become a hive Of industry, by educating
her children into a knowledge of the Physi-
cal World, which will fit them for the
practical work of life :?
What say or Board of Education to
this example Of sister city? 1t is quite
as practicable here as there. The teachers
can soon be instructed in the rudiments of
the Physical Sciences at the Normal class,
and their pupils would be charmed and de-

A MOE IN CHICAGO.

The Chicago Tribune contains an eX-
tended description Of the riotous crowd
which recently paraded its streets, and
finally invaded its Council chamber and
dispersed the city fathers by force. 1t was
got up in the interest of class of politi-
clans, defeated in the late election, the os-
tensble cause of offense being the refusal
of the Common Council to allow cheap
wooden buildings to be permanently erected |
within the fire limits Of Chicago. The po-
sition of the Mayor elect and the majority
Of the Council is so clearly dictated
by the instincts Of selt-preseryation,
that we can see no alternative but
to enforce 1t or give up all hope of restor-
ing Chicago to what it was. Certainly in
telligent men will hardly risk their money
in expensive blocks, if their neighbors may
build wooden structures beside them, that
are sure to burn some day and melt down
the most solid materials as in furnace.
To concedo anything to this mob would
destroy the good name of a city renowned
for its peaceful and progressive character,
and it would bar the future eflectually,
by begetting a sense of insecurity which
would drive capital from all permanent in
vestments.
The Tribune speaks Of the mob as fol-
lows:
"Ihe riot was organized and carried out
in behalf Of the opponents Of the Fire Or
dinance now pending in the Council, and it
was clearly intended, by this array of two
thousand infuriated men, this display of
threatening and clannish banners, these
showers of brickbats, and these incendiary
harangues, to intimidate the representatives
of three hundred thousand people into
voting against their consccnces and the in
terests of the city. The riot may possibly
have such an effect; if so, the disgrace
and misfortune will yet be greater than
that of last night. The rioters were
marshalled by one Carney, mem
Der of the Board Of Aldermen from
depopulated ward, and had for
} spokesman A. c. Hesing, of unsavory
record in politics, and one Comm, an ex-
alderman and saloon-politican of the
lowest type. They forced their entrance
into the Council Chamber, alter no per-
ceptiblc resistance from the police, and the
members of the Council He'd in terror.
Such of them as remained were, with re-
porters, officers and spectators, soon driven
out by showers Of rocks and brickbats
from the mob outside. LIesing, as the Dip
iomat of the invading force, entered and
} delivered his pr0nuncanento to the assem-
bly, within. The terms which he proposed
to accept as compromise were, doubtless,

THE WEEKLY JOURNAL.


Will contain a faithful resume of the News OF
the Week from all parts of the world full and
accurate reports of the Richmond and Baltimore
Markets; well digested Editorials upon all the
current matters of interest, Political, Financial,
Commercial, Agricultural and general topics !;
selections from the leading journals of this coun-
try, local and State news, &c. This paper will
maintain the principles of The National Repub-
lican Party, and strenuously advocate all mea-
sures to advance the public good. Believing
POPULAR EDUCATION to be the great want
of our State and Country, we shall give large
space to its advocacy. We shall devote a large
portion of our columns to the subjects of Agri
cultural, Horticultural and Mining interests, CIV
ing interesting articles on these subjects from able
contributors.
