PROFESSION AND PRACTICE.

One of the announced desires Of the Red
ical party when they effected the general
emancipation of the colored people of the
United Ststes, was to educate that race,
and fit them for the responsible duties of
American citizens. How they have carried
out that programme in South Carolina and
Louisiana is well known. In those States
they have swallowed up the school fund,
and left the poor negro to educate his chill
dren as best be can. The Selms, (Als.,)
Argus gives timely statement of Radical
fondness for free education.smong the ne
groes of that State. That journal
remarks: '.Esch year that Col.
Hodges, Conservative, held the
office Of Superintendent of Public In
siruction Of Alabama, there was an aver
age of $4,000 white pupils and 1900 black
pupils in the public schools of the State for
ths usual number of months. Joseph 81.
Speed; Radical, had been in Office but few
months until the fourishing schools to the
control of which be succeeded had ceased
to exist; and the deserted school.houses of
a whole Commonwealth stand to-day so
many monuments of the incompetency of
himself AMI his Radical associates in the
State administration. The men now in
power here have increased the taxes fifty
per cent, stripped the Treasury of almost
its last dollar, destroyed utterly the c7edit
of the Safe, and closed the only schools in
which tie poor of both races could hope for
the rudiments of education -

A GRAVE CHARGE,

Tne New York Tfibasg charges that the
amount OF $40 bonds of the call of March
i, ISL, counted on the last debt state
ment as not redeemed, is $40, 999, $50.
These bonds have ell been redeemed, and
were in the possession of the government
in July last, but no entry Of them has been
made on the. books of the United States
Treasurer, because this would amount to a
confession ofthe truth OF the Trtb1uae's
charge that the Secretary has, for over two
months past, oyer-stated the amount of
coin in. the Treasury By more than ten
millions of dollars; and that for the purpose
ofassisting gang Of Wall st. eet gamblers.
The gamblers have gotten things pretty well
under theif thumbs, when the Treasury of
the United States can be induced to fslsify
It's books in their interest. % .l-. ~, d

RECENT facts raise suspicion that the
cry of exhaustion in relation to the coal
supply of England was started for the pur-
pose of getting up q corner in that indis-
penssble article. 1t was proved before a
Parliamentary committee that the coal
mines nGreAt Britain yielded six million
tors more coal in 1871 than 10 1870, and
three million tons more in 1872 than in
1871. There was, therefore, no cause for
the rise in The price of coal. English mining
journals assert, too, that there is plenty of
coal if the golfers would only work. If
they worked full time, the price would soon
come down. 2

THE interfe ence Of Grant in the contest
between Washburn and Butler for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor, is likely
to produce some good result. The Boston
Advertiser, the old Republ can organ, finds
It bard work to get over lis Indignation at
the attempted Federal interference in that
contest. On the 18th inst. that journal
adds: ave have again and sgain dissp-
proved of and condemned the interference
of the Administration in Louisiana affairs.
We have never been blind to it, and never
failed to characterize it as wrong and m
gerous. In tie matter of the Kellogg usur-
patton we have never taken any other
ground than that his being Governor was
an imposition on the people," The Repub-
licans of Massachusetts have found the iron
band, even though it is concealed in vel

have been told that this would be the re-
suit, but they have been To- to believe the
warning coming from the South.

HAS AMERICAN CcrroN DErEHio-

A statement having been made, both in
this country and Europe, that the quality
of American..cotton had deteriorated within
the past ten years, the Commissioner of
Agriculture, early last spring, prepared 3
circular upon this subject, and sent it to a
large number Oft the leading cotton planters
and cotton Manufacturers. Il contained
two questions. First-@Has American

the answers run in this channel: "That
while the quality of cotton now rought to
market is.iuferior in condition to Whas-was
produced twelve years ago, that condition
is attributable TO. causes which do not
necessarily enter into the production and

this statement, it was remarked that "sooni
after the close of the war large number

planters of the South were at great pains to,
procure good seed, giving in many instan-
ces as high as, ten dollars per bushel for
them. 1, hbese seed were planted with care

sent 10 market, but when it reached the
buyer these planters discovered that the
buyer was not ldisposeaio make any dis

than the quality and that Is The offered ek-

IT is not easy 10 get at tho truth about
the Spanish Carlists, owing to the censor
ship of the telegraph by the Republican
government at Madrid. A correspondent
of the New York Graphic writes that Don
!Carlos's pretensions are supported not by
bands Of brfgsnds and unorganized peas
sntry, but by well-armed, well-led and
well-appointed army in q strong natural
position. They hold the line of the Ebro,
with no enemy in their front, as the Com
munists keep the Republican forces busy in
the South, and this correspondent "would
not be at all surprised if Don Carlos should
enter Madrid in pursuit of defeated and
demoralized Republican army.n~ 3

THE New York Tribune make this
point; Men who want to recover damages
for trespass set the highest possible value on
their property; when they are to be assessed
for a tax levy, they are poor indeed. The
commission appointed to examine into and
report upon the Mexican raids into Texas
report total damage of about $SO,OOO,OOO
to the focks and herds of the Texans liv-
log in the border counties. The assessed
valuation Of that species of property in the
whole State is just about that sum. Texan
live stock must have increased enormously
in value since the Mexicans stole it by the
wholesale.
