nounced and all the fond and tender senti-
ments of the parting hour are being reiterated
in 30 many female schools and colleges, we
trust no one will take us to task for uttering o
few suggestions to the ear of these gentle
novices in life. It belongs to them to teach
the sneering and incredulous portion Of the
world that their friends were not wrong in
claiming that education does not unfit q
woman for the transaction of those duties
which are peculiarly hers. Granted that q
woman has q natural genius for baby-talk !;
granted that neatness, grace, delicacy are
qualities that seem naturally better suited to
her organization than displays of strength !;
granted that intuition with her generally takes
the place of reason, and that she often wings
her way to that point in an argument to which
a man is forced to wade STILL we see nothing
in these admissions calculated to weaken the
claim that good education is capable of max
ing her better wife, mother, sister, sweetheart
and friend than she has ever been in the past
Nay, ought not the question to be put thus
IF woman can be SO charming and irresistible
without education, what can she not be with
it? If beautiful ignorance can subjugate the
imaginations and senses Of men for several
thousands of years, what cannot beautiful
culture accomplish 1t remains for the class
of women whose ranks are swollen by the
graduates of last night to show how wide that
limit can be made. We need educated women
in our houses and dwelling places, in all pro-
LESSONS and modes Of business that are open
to women, and in many that are not yet open.
We want them in the nursery, in the kitchen,
at the breakfast table among the arts, in the
trades, on the stage in every position of life,
from the rostrum of the female lecturer to the
composing room of the female printer. We
want to see severity and exactness Of knowl-
edge set off with those graces which only
women can wear to advantage, and which
very few of the shrieking sisterhood-the
irrepressible clamorers for female rights-ever
dream of possessing. Thus adorned, en-
dowed with wide and accurate information,
which no intelligent man would dare despise,
and commended with those feminine arts and
accomplishments which every sensible man
admires it is not easy just at present to
place boundary to the influence the recon-
structed womanhood would exert.

The BosroN Advertiser administration an
nounces as by authority that Governor Wash
burne will not be candidate for the republic

sets. So there is another obstacle to the
nomination of General Butler out of the way.
The principal republican papers, however,
continue to fight against him.

THE ALBANY Argus (democratic) afHrms
that "while it cannot hold General Butler up
as model, it can at least entertain some con-
fdence in his nerve, dash, prowess and
pluck" This is considerably better than
being held up as good for nothing, as some of
the enemies Of the General do.

The Philadelphia Centennial-A Hint.

Tho Philadelphia Centennial-A Hint.
In order to make the proposed grand cele-
bration of the centennial anniversary of Ameri-
can independence in Philadelphia an I'M
bounded success the managers should do two
or three things. First of all, they should in
vite the Emperor of China and the Mikado Of
Japan to visit the "City of Brotherly Love"
on that august occasion and enjoy its princely
Inequalities. Then, by way of interesting
variety, they might invite Bill Nye (of
Heather Chinee'' fame), Bret Harte, the
America Chinese poet, and Koopmanschoop,
the distinguished runner and forerunner of
coole immigration to this country, to partici-
pate in the same festivities. 1t would be a
magnificent thing to get the grand monarchs
of the Far East to attend this gorgeous
Yankee centennial spectacle. 1t would throw
the Shah of Persia's visit to the Vienna Ex-
hibition completely in the shade; and mas
much as it can occur only once in a hundred
years it is not likely they will have another
such chance for q jolly "breeze'' in their
lifetime If the Mikado comes the Philadel-
phians will make Mikadido (if he be dis
posed to commit any didos) of him before he
leaves If the representative of the "Flowery
Kingdom" puts in an appearance, they will
make the rosy gush from every city fountain,
and if Bret Harte, or the original "Heathen
Chnee," or Bill Nye, or Koopmanschoop ap-
pear in propria persong there will be no end to
the "ways that are dark that will be secured
nor the 'tricks that are vain" that will be
played upon the unsophisticated, the whole to
conclude with that inevitable finale of a Quaker
citizens hospitality to stranger guest-an
old-time catfish breakfast on the Schuylkill
Let the managers of the centennial take the
hint and act accordingly.

Understanding Perils and Extraor-
binary Powers or tho Government.

Sinking funds or from other quarters
binary Powers or tho Government.
Our latest news from Spain indicates the
near approach of the government to chaos.
First, we have a special HERALD despatch
giving some details of decisive victory of
column of five battalions Of royalists, under
General Elio, over an opposing force of
government troops of perhaps equal strength,
commanded by General CastafIon, who lost
his artillery and baggage and eighty men as
prisoners. The losses in men, killed and
wounded, of the royalsts were supposed to
be nearly the same as on the govern
ment side, which were three hun
dred. These increasing sanguinary collisions
between small detachments Of republicans
and royalists indicate pretty clearly the inten-
sity of the hostile spirit Of each side against
the other. 1t appears, too, that whether the
royalists are successful or defeated their &C
tive forces in the field are still increasing, and
that they are still charging their line of
operations, and that from battle to battle they
are acting more boldly upon the offensive.
They are evidently gaining recruits, and mate
rails of war are supplied from day to day,
while the embarrassments of the government
in its operations against them are aggravated
from the mystery which envelopes the move
ments of the royalists and the sources Of their
reinforcements.
Within a month or two more, at the rate of
their progress of the last three months, the
royalists will be able to abandon their guerilla
warfare for the regular system, or to de-
scend from their mountain Businesses to the
open country and its large cities Meantime,
from various dispatches which we give this
morning on the subject, it appears that, in
view Of the extraordinary dangers of the
government the executive branch has ap-
pealed to the Cortes for extraordinary powers,
and that the Cortes, fully approaching the ne
cessities of the crisis, have granted the enlarged
powers desired for effective measures What
measures or consequences are to follow it
would be useless to conjecture, when, from
day to day, the government itself knows not
what day may bring forth.

hon OF the plans and the system of labor a.
will afford assurance Of thorough retrsnch-
ment and reform. New York State, though
able by her unlimited credit to easily borrow
all tho money she may require, should not,
for any reason, show deficit in her annual
balance sheet and her obligations should be
promptly met out of her regular income, with
out the necessity of temporary loans from the
Sinking funds or from other quarters.

Cost OF Governing tho City and County
Under the Reform Regime.

We have published full list of the esti-
mates made by the Board of Apportionment
for the city and county of New York
for the present year. The total amount
called for from the taxpayers is little
over $27, 100000. The sum required for
current expenditures interest on the city
and county debt, principal of city and county
debt due and the State taxes is $50, 131, 967 !;
but there are to be deducted from that the reve-
nue. and surplus appropriations, amounting
to So, 033, 200. According to the estimate of
the Comptroller the expenses of the city and
county in 1871 were 500, 567, 1875, and in 1879,
$50, O36, 900, while for 1873 they are only o
little over $27,000,OOO This, apparently is a
considerable reform in expenses. But our
city financiers have peculiar way of their
own in arranging figures, which is rather puz-
zling to the uninitiated. How, for example,
is the interest of the debt set down at
S6,500,0O0, when last year it was nearly
So, 100000, and when the principal of
the debt is much larger? How is it that
the apportionment made in November last
exceeds by nearly $S,O00,000 that just
made? 1t does appear, without further expla-
nation, that there has been some legerdemain
in arranging the figures. However if there
be no increase of the principal of the debt and
no large amounts to be brought up for payment
hereafter, our citizens may rejoice that their
taxes this year will be only two and half per
cent, whereas the tax of 1872 was within q
fraction of three per cent. With such an
enormous expenditure this city ought to be the
best governed and cleanest in the world.
The amount is equal to that of the national
government thirty years ago. But our citi-
zens will not complain if the money be well
spent and those great improvements be carried
out which would make New York the most
healthy, beautiful and attractive city in the
world. Reform is necessary, and should be
practised; but money that is properly expended
in improving the metropolis will bring large
return in trade, comfort, health and wealth.

approval, laundry ordinance imposing
tax of SIS per quarter on all male
proprietors of laundries where teams
are not employed in delivering articles
to customers. The ordinance, as is

but the Mayor bases his veto upon tho
ground that the tax is unjust and OPP
pressive, being upon certain kind OF
labor while others are exempt. Any
such tax, he says, is not right.

C"rNvy PHlNrrxi.--Mr. Billings has
hit upon an original eypedient to avoid
the responsibility of making a choice of
the recipients OF his official patronage.
He conceived the brilliant ilea of award
ing the delinquent list to the lowest
bidder, well knowing that between the
half dozen printing Offices in this
place, and the jealous rivalry and par
tisan bitterness existing between somc
of them, the price would be reduced to
mere pittance. This explcdes the old
theory that "the laborer is worthy of
his hire" and is a complete endorse
mcnt of the principle on small scale,
of China labor and worse than China
wages. If the rule is to obtain, it
should be universal in its application,
and the office of Sheriff should be let
to the lowest bidder, and we doubt not
men just as we'll qualified as Mr.. Bill
ings will discharge the duties as we'll
at one-fourth the fat salary now de-
manded and paid. In justice to other
county officials we state that this is the
first attempt made to inaugurate the
starve out" policy.
