EDITOR NEws-DEAR SIR: 1 sup
you are aware of the great emigra-
ton last spring to Marion county in
the neighborhood OFF abody, most
of them poor families. A great
many of them came too late to get a
crop in, and on that account there
has been much suffering. There is
nothing to do in this part of the
country, for want of funds. The
time for putting in crops is fast APP
paoaching. How is this necessity
to be met?
WE HAVE NO SEED,
nor money 10 purchase it with.
Can there be any means devised to
supply these families with seed !?
Kansas calls loudly for emigrants.
The call has been answered. Som e
have spent all they had in coming
here, and have nothing to buy seed
with. Cannot our State officials do
something to remedy this evil? If
not, your influence would go great
ways to get
HELP FOR THOSE EMIGRANTs.
Some will go to the railroad this
spring, and neglect putting in their
crops. There are others who can
not leave their families. There are
some who are reduced to living
solely on corn meal, who are not
willing to own to it. Please make
it known, and if there is a way in
which seed can be furnished. by loan
or otherwise, it will be the means
of starting and keeping hundreds
of families in our State, and perhaps
we can reciprocate hereafter.
Yours respectfully,
II. D. KosH.

No person who will take the pc ins to exam

also the very nervous system which ramifes
tbs whole constitution of human relations,
and electrifes into being every element for
the production of the material prosperity and
the general resources Of the nation but sdu-
on ard its good results must of course
have an organic source from which they can
derive, in due proportion, every element
necessary for their own growth and this
source, thanks to the wisdom, justice, and
noble patriotism of the American people, has
cen found in the Public School which ad-
mits ali to its benefeence, prescribing no
instruction save that which would teud to
estrangs the minds and hearts as they
gather around the common fountain Of in
telligence, charity and love, and there, by
its cooling influence quench the burning
thirst of iEnorance, hatred and prejudice.
The object OF the Educational in the future
as well as in the past, will be the mantle
nance ofths principles which underlie the
public schSol system, by strenuously advo-
eating the adoption of any and every msas.
ure that can be justly utilized for the VOL

County Superintendent appears under the

pleased to have the "EDUCATIoNAL" take
its place again in the TELEGRAPH, and
Mr. Mcguire is the right man in the right
place to make it profitable to the public
in its being there. His intrOducsory will
speak for itself, and we would bcspoak
for Mr. Mcguire the encouragement and
assistance t. which the Importance OF his
labors and the duties of his position, as
Editor of the '.EpUcATIoNAL," justly ca
titles him. All whO feel any interest in
the welfare of our country should labor
to promote the education Of the rising
generation. Without intelligence and
virtue, free governments may prove fail
urss. With them they are sure of sue
cess. And all who can appreciate free
dom should labor for the advancement of
intelligence and the promotion Of virtue.
With an intelligent aud Yirtuous people
freedom is secure. And there is no way

For once the Washington ladies and gentle
men succumbeA to stress of weather, and call.
ers Of either sex were few yesterday. The only
wonder 10, with sidewalks covered with ice and
fine sleet falling all day, that anybody ven uI
ed out at all; but every lady Who received aver
aged above twenty calls. The ladies of WASH
ington are sensible enough to dress in accord
ance with the weather, and consequently yes
terday thick, warm, dark clothes were donned
by those who defied the elements.
Even at Mrs. Porter's, usually the gayest
of all the gay houses Of Washington, the wea-
Their seemed to interfere, and very few persons
comparatively speaking, attended. The recep-
open, and dancing was I'm order there. Mrs. Por-
ter, being ill., did not receive, but was represent
ed by her sister and daughter.
Last evening was made remarkable by two
entertainments, either one of which was enough
to satisfy any pleasure-lOver-the grand tenor at
the theater, and Mrs. Moulton, the magnifi-
cent, at Lincoln Hall Apparently the tenor
tIiumphed, for the theater contained more
distinguished as well as larger audience than
opera this evening, it is probable that many
waited to attend the second MOulton concert
At the opera were seen Mrs. Creswell and Miss
liams, Senator Stockton, his wife, son and
daughter and Miss White, Sir Edward Thornton
General Giles A. Smith and wife, and many
others OF distinction. The ladies generally Wort
full opera toilets.
The first OF Mr.. and Mrs. James c. Ken
nedy's receptions took place last evening, and
added another to the number of pleasant a soci-
atoms connected with their elegant home. Their
large, I0Omy old-fashiOned house is admirably
adapted for hOspitable purposes. The street
door opens into large, square hall, as large a
an ordinary parlor, and he staircase ascend
from the center. The library opens on the right
OF the hall, and the dining-rOom on the left. On
the second floor are three parlors, divided from
each other by rich curtains, each parlor being
furnished in a different color. Flowers in vases
baskets and bouquets abound, and the windows
OF the lower rooms are filed with growing
plants. Among those present last evening were
many members of the diplomatic corps, and
many of our own ladies and gentlemen of note.
Colonel and Miss Cults, Miss Brsted. Miss
Swayne, Miss Adds, Baron Lederer, Blacque
Bey, the Misses Wise and Miss Campbell, Sem
atOrs Anthony and Frelinghuysen were some Of
those who attended.
We are requested to state that, in conse-
quence Of the illness of a member of her family
Mrs. Ross Ray will not receive her friends on
Thursday evening next.
