The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-06-29

You have my best wishes in your en-
deavors TO rally for united action, all the
elements of the opposition to that system
ofpolicy which Is now controlling the gov.
eminent and people Of this republic, and
which not inappropriately has been called
"Qrantism." II is time that the people Of
the North and Of the South be once more
bound together in the inspiring conscious
ness of common nationality, OF common
rights and of common duties, and TO
this end IL is necessary that traditional
barriers be broken down, and that the
policy of force by which the members of
civil strife are assiduously famed, and the
bitter feelings Of past conflicts, are kept
alive for partisan advantage, give way tc
those moral agencies Of Consultation and
fraternal intercourse, without which our
republican system cannot long endure.
It Is time that the deepotism Of party
spirit be broken, which, in the shape Of
personal government, rules our national
legislatures and the vast organization
Of Office holders, fosters corruption, DEM
oralzes and corrupts public opinion, and
stands in the way Of every true and
thorough reform; and to this end II is
necessary that the embodiment of that
depotism, the present administration be
defeated in its effort to continue its power,
and that thus free field be opened for re-
formatory movements, untrammeled by
selfish partisan control.
Whether we be able TO accomplish all
we design or not, we certainly can &C.
complish this, IL, for that purpose, we unite
in an energetic effort, and our success will
be a great step in the right direction,
Although cannot be with you to-mor-
row, I hope to DO able to cooperate with
with you to that end in the course Of the
present campaign. Truly yours

THE LEADERS OF THE SOUTHERN

HOW THEY STAND ON THE QUESTION OF

From the Jackson tMiss.) Clarion tdemocratic).
The fact is worthy TO be mentioned, not
as reproof to any one, nevertheless as q
fact repletelwith significance, that the men
who led the Southern armies when there
was real fighting TO be done, and when tho
sectional controversy was being settled
with powder and ball and shell and shot,
are all opposed to q strsightout nomination
on Improbable issues In the Presidential
election, and are in favor of the adoption
of the peace programme declared at Gin
cinnati. Let us submit few examples in
each of the reconstructed States -

In Texas-John B. Hood.
In Observation-Disclosures, Walthall

While these soldiers of,the Lost Cause"
are rallying under the banner of peace
which has been entrusted to tho keeping Of
honest Horace Greeley because he has
steadily advocated universal amnesty since
the war, and has given the highest evil

within him-the rank and file, whom they
lead, are forming around them an irwin
chile phalanx, to win . victory in peace
second only to the glories Of their Ie-

~ The New York Evening Post has

THE WOMAN sUFFRAGIsTs AT BALTI
r FI ErH..# MuRE. Ell. EH.h I. .-

Miss Stanton and her friends who went
to Baltimore, with high hopes of getting a
distinct recognition of woman suffrage,
came away sad of heart. Not even a
promise of respectful consideration, nor q
gallant expression of gratitude to woman,
nor of pleasure in seeing her called to new
fields of usefulness, was deigned by that
assemblage of old fogies, young fogies, and
representative of the dark ages of Ameri-
can politics, generally. There was, it is
true, a large number Of men in that con-
~vention friendly to the extension OF the
suffrage to woman but all the advanced and
progressive ideas ofits gallant young spirits,
were smothered by the old Bourbons "
who brooded over it. And so no cheering
word was said to woman in the struggle
!, for her legal and natural rights.
Compelled by the people to abdicate anc
put up a Republican for a candidate upon
new platform, they went back, and tool
ND our old outworn issues, adding nothing
new. They remind n of the South Sci
Islanders dressed in the old clothes which
the missionaries have given them. Inc.
: have been pushed along by the great tide
wave, a mass of dead drift wood, vast
formless, and destitute of organic struc
ture. Finding themselves moving they ca
it progress. They hoist the flag of Liberal
ism over the rotten raft of Toryism. Blu
> they originate nothing, and floating helpless
lessly, are bound to be landed upon tn
"Salty Strand" a wreck. But out OF tn
weltering rubbish, We shall gather many
timber of goodly oak and many a bolt I
choicest steel, with which to construct II
new ships of the future.

Col. THOMAS A. SCOTT and the board
of directors OF the Texas Pacific railroad
company arrived in Philadelphia July q,
after an absence ofseveral weeks in Texas,
where they have been inspecting the route
Of the next grand national iron highway to
the Pacific coast. During their absence
they travelled 4,925 miles by rail and
water, and sometimes in wagons drawn by
mules over the toughest of roads. The
wonders of r~ailwayism, and the perfection
of management attained upon the Pennsyl-
vania Central and its connections, are Illus
trated by these facts /: "The party left
New Orleans on their return home at 1880
p. N. Thursday, and arrived in Philadel.
phia on Sunday at 1870 p. NJ, having
travelled the entire distance ,602 miles
in siSty-six hours, being an average of 24l
miles per hour and 5s2 miles per day, in
Guiding stoppages."

TIE ELECToRAL COLLEGE.

AT our last State Convention the pro-
gressive Republicans of Virginia, adopted
as part of their platform, a resolution to
abolish the Electoral College and elect
the President directly by the people.
We have advocated this measure for many
wears, and have seen it steadily gain in
public favor until we are confident that an
overwhelming majority of the people are
in favor of its adoption. But the profess
sional politicians of both parties, tradition
airy fogies, and enemies Of the people, OPP
pose this reform because it simpliies the
government, and abolishes some offices
which they seem TO regard as their
natural inheritance. This is one OF
the !" live questions !" of the canvass,
and we propose to fight it out before the
people to the end. We are glad to welcome
so able an ally as the Chicago Tribune,
which, in its leader Of July 10th, denounces
the Electoral College, and advocates the
adoption of the amendment of Mr.. Sumner
abolishing it.. 1t is well known that John
G. Calhoun proposed the same thing forty
years ago. 1t is time that this remnant 0
monarchy, adopted by our fathers wher
they were mere ~younglings in democracy
and afraid to trust the people, was ex
plunged from the constitution. Who objects
and why? If fanny man can show any goo
reason to retain this numbering machinery
let him speak. II not, let all unite I
abolish it., t

C,TuoLIC ON FEMALE rpuUArroN.

A CATHOLIC ON FEMALE EDUCATION
One Of the most gifted and influential
Catholic women of Chicago writes thus
vigorously in behalf of the fuller education
of her sex in the UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
She shows conclusivcly that the modern
neglect of the solid branches is a new de-
~parture, and hits off the old fogies of her
church admirably. The facts stated viii
startle many elegant ignoramuscs, who
think it delightful to have women gcntecl
idiots, both Catholics and Protestants:
" The over-conservatism which prevails
| among the male portion, conspicuously OF
| the Catholic church, and notably Of almost
| every religious organization preferring to
be considered orthodox, on the subject OF
woman's right to teach and to preach, Is
curiously inconsistent with precedents.
-"The education given to girls in Catholic
schools is commonly as slender as mems
prejudices to woman's knowing anything
except to obey, can make it. The assump-
ton is that every woman is to be q 'lady,'
and that in ladyhood, the more substantial
kinds of knowledge are vulgar. 10 bela
'lady., one must live for ornament and
not for use. Useful knowledge, like the
physical sciences, should be eschewed ; Or
namental frippery, in the form an exceed
ingly thin training in composition, with no
dangerous directness of thought music, In
the art, not in the science I; tapestry-work,
embroidery, wax parodies on flowers, am
tioue handwriting and lettering on p%eriorat-
ed paper, are to be cultivated as the pro-
per education of .women. In American
converts this folly is last disappearing ; SO
many of us have to live for use But the
! fixed male intolerance which limits a girls
\ education to the rim of bellies teHres and en-
|, deayors to prevent her from going to The
, center, is in defiance Of conventual prece'
: dent. In these days it is held a crime
: among conservatives that a woman should
be a t~heologian. But there was a tune
and not SO long ago-a mere three huno,eu
: years-when women occupied the most dis
tinguished chairs in the papal universities
: of Rome and Bologna. Norella
. taught common law in the latter lnsttutioI
for ten years. In 1870, Christina Pasan
was Professor of Jurisprudence IN tn
Il same and Laura Bassi, a Doctor OF Laws
. was Professor of Mathematics and Natura
Philosophy, both in Rome and Bologna
2 Madonna Mazolina filled the chair OF Apai
omy in Bologna for a decade; and FreneI
a and German girls were admitted 70 STUD.
# in the university on exactly the sam
conditions as men,. And yet a few eyar
'e gelical fossils raise their atfrlghted palm
in horror because a couple OF America
colleges dare to do in the latter half {

criticism for men who honestly strive to

cheer. If they are true to the interests Of
the achole people, we shall be made stronger

coJONEL, FORNEY AND THE PENNsYL
yANIA v

We regret to see, that some Republican
journals are disposed to make severe strlc-
lures upon Colonel Forney, of the Phila-
delphia Press, for opposing two of the
candidates on the State ticket. He is even
charged, with seeking to carry the State for
Greeley.
We do not personally know the candi-
dates who are so obnoaious to a large part
of the Republicans of that State. We do
know, hat the Republican party contains
no t1aer and better man than Colonel forney.
Always brave, just, and loyal to principle,
he is not the man to refuse support to a
party nomination upon trifaing grounds.
We trust his sagacity and fidelity, tiled on
many a hard fought field in the struggle for
freedom. The Republican party can stand
any test, but that of shielding rlHafay. A
party that has great principles great pur-
DO 3es. and great inspirations, is not to be
ruined by shaking from itself the dust OF
the battle. Purity is the law OF its lille,
and the prime condition of its strength. 1t
is held together by great convictions. IL
