THE RICHMOND SCHOOLS.

The cities of Richmond and Lynchburg
have made the greatest advance toward
complete organization, systematic visitation
Of schools, instruction Of teachers, and
commodious school accommodations. The
authorities of those cities embraced the car
dinal doctrine that superintendent of
schools sufficiently paid to enable him to
give his whole time to his official duties was
the only guarantee Of complete success.
have appended to the second part of this
report the schemes of organization and in
struction now in operation in those cities,
and feel prepared to commend them
highly. Experience will, Of course, sug-
gest Improvements, but considering how
short time has elapsed since the estab-
lishment of the system in those cities, the
maturity and efficiency of their plans Of
instruction and management are really
surprising. This is especially true Of
Richmond, where the school officers have
been greatly strengthened by the liberality
of the City Council, and the important aid
of the enlightened Mayor. Already fami-
lies are moving into tho city in order to
obtain for their children the fine education
al advantages here presented. This happy
state of things will continue, if spirit OF
justice and lberality be manifested toward
all faiths, races and parties.

The paroxysma maladies which are characterized by

Is curious fact that in many parts of the country
where they are prevalent other diseases that bear no

WEDNESDAY. MARCH G, 1879.
Farce and Fenianism.

The great Enoise made in England over the
recent attempt to "shoot the queen" is ex-
cessively English. The world was required to
believe that something terrible had happened.
One account stated that pistol was actually
discharged at the queen, and that the course OF
the murderous bullet was traced TO wall or
tree, we believe. There was very graphic
narration of the gallant exploit; of John Brown,
the footman, who sprang from his horse,
seized the assassin, wrenched the pistol from
his hand, and handed him roughly to police
man. 1t was an exciting affair altogether,
in the published accounts of it; but, to appre-
ciate the reality, we should have Punch and
Thackeray again to put it properly before the
public.
Even those in London who have some reason
TO be ashamed of having described a broad farce
as a terrible tragedy, now admit their mistake.
How little their emotion was warranted by the
incident, may never be told; but this is what is
now reported: A youth apparently half de-
mented, whose name is O'Connor, approached
the queen with two papers and threatened TO
shoot her with rusty, dilapidated, aud un-
loaded pistol, if she should refuse to sign them.
This was all, it is said. There was no opportu-
nifty for the demented creature to show what ex
ecution could be done by that terrible pistol,
for the police hurried him away as fast as posi-
BILE 1t is added that be was Fenian, and that
one of his papers was queerly written procla-
NATION ordering the release of all Fenian pris-
oners, while the other was pardon for himself
securing him against punishment for approach
that neither the queen nor any of her suite had
ever before encountered lunatic or even heard
of one.
1t may be, however, that this remarkable
assassin was not lunatic. Perhaps he was
nothing more than a certain kind of Fenian;
that particular kind, we mean, which has ac-
quired some reputation, in this county by its
notable aptitude for PLAYING farce. Why should
not this youthful Fenan believe he could sub
due the majesty of England and scare her reti-
nue. and her guards out of their wits, with a
broken pistol which could not be loaded? Has
he not heard from some of his elders that
mighter things than this can be done with still
more unpromising means? Has he not studied
the history and been magnetzed by impressive
example of General O'Ne, the immortal con-
qneror Of Canada2 The tremendous things that
might have been done across the border, by
General 0'Neil, if this redoubtable warrior had
not been captur ed by United States marshal,
may be imagined but can not now be described.
We can not see that this young Fenian, who has
been called lunatc by certain unbelievers, was
not as brave, as terrible, and es of the medi
tated conquest as the daring O'Neil himself
His Fenianism and his general quality appear tC
be identical with what is known as 0'Neilism
and yet certain irreverent people, overlooking
all the possibilities of their proves, describe
them as humbugs or lupatics.

The ignorance of Englishmen in regard to the
geography and institutions of this country has
often caused amusement and surprise, when
some special illustration of it has attracted at
tention. It's not probably so conspicuous now
as it was few years ago, when contempt for
everything peculiarly American was regarded al
most in the light of patriotic duty. The feel
ing is changed somewhat, and educated English
men at least think it worth their while to learn
something about our country and affairs. OF
course there are and always have been men, of
the people more often than of the aristocracy
and gentry, who are well informed about Amer
lean affairs, but ignorance is still the rule. A
correspondent, writing to the bureau of educa
ton at Washington some notes of his observa.
tions on education in England, says that the
text books in use in the national schools"
there are what is called the "national series. y
The geography of this series, which con-
tains, probably, the only account of
other countries which thousands of the
scholars ever see has about ten pages devoted
TO China, five or six to Turkey, three or four to
Morocco, and about as many to Agiers, and
ten lines to the United Statesl We hope il is
not an excess of national vanity which leads us
to believe that it is desirable for English youth
to have as full and correct knowledge of this
country as of Algiers. They do not get it in
the national schools it seems and probably the
deficiency in the instruction there given is a fair
Indication of the relative prominence allowed to
American matters in more ambitious seats OF
learning. The wonderful capacity of the Brit
's' TIL lderstanding facts relating TO
rs explained. The national
Ks, perhaps, will have re-
vision, if the Washington treaty and the conse-
quent era Of good feeling do not come hopeless
ly to grief

Gov Hoffman has designated George Clinton
and Robert Fulton for the honor of commemora-
tive statues, in the capitol at Washington. 1t is
objected that Fulton was born in Pennsylvania,
and, therefore, should not be selected to repre-
sent New York in the capitol. 1t is also suggest
ed that Dewitt Clinton, nephew of George, was
very eminent. But, the reply is, that George
Clinton was the first governor Of the state OF
New York, and held this position eighteen
years, being otherwise one of the eminent men
of his time; and that Fulton became eminent as
a New Yorker On the whole says the Albany
Journal Gov Hoffman's selection is felicitous,
