Preaident Grants Second Term.

President Graut is the seventh Presi-
dent who has been honored with reelec-
ton. His predecessors were Washington,
jefferson, Madison, Monroe. Jackson and
Lincoln-all honored names in the politi-
cal annals Of our country. 1t is, more
over, facictiiat the second term Of all
these gentleman (save that of Lincoln,
who was deprived Of its enjoyment by the
hands of an assassin) were more successful
than the first, which constitutes strong
proof in behalf of the propriety Of the
principle of n second term, and Of the
correctness Of the popular voice.
One of the most effective campaign
documents-which was translated into
German, French and Bohemian and Scand-
inavlan languages was "Grant 40 q
Statesman" judged by his official record.
It contained extracts from his inaugural
address and his annual messages upon
some thirty differsnt topics. and the op-
pinons advanced therein were SO judici-
Gus, and so thoroughly in accord with the
popular convictions, that no opposition
speaker OF journalist ever dared to sssail
them.
This in itself was very high compli-
ment to one who by his own admission,
was novice in craftsmanship but, dur
ing the just expired session of Congress he
has displayed so much wisdom and judy
ment that Congress actually became ash
AIMED over It's neglect Of legislative duties.
His annual message, full of good sug
geStOns, was followed by several special
messages on Utah and Louisiana affairs,
on the fishery question, and the Southern
claims for obstruction Of property during
the war. He also stands by civil service
reform whenever it promises to secure the
best men for Office, notwithstanding the
opposition of many leading politicians. He
issued his proclamation that no Federal
officer holder should hereafter be permit
ted to hold State Office at the same time
excepting only few positions like schos
trustees which are more in the nature ci
duties than officers of honor and profit.
In all these recommendations he has D. ov,
ed the only firm .judcous. and intrepid po-
litical leader of the party, and Congress
only in its last hours woke up to the
crminaity of further neglect of their
duties urged upon it by the President
We are fully persuaded that the second
term of'P r9essfdgfHaerzht will become ill
ustrious in political history, and that his
messages, MS the Chief Executive, will
equal, if not eclipse, his rsnown as mill.
tary chieftian ; and this is the result not
so mncb of brilliancy of genius, as that
of painstaking and laborious care.
In view of the many evils which would
have necessarily resulted by placing the
Government under the guidance Of a
Horace Greeley. or B. Gratz Brown,
we congratulate the people most heartily
on the prospect of wise, safe, and econ
omic administration until March Ath,
1877.

Education of the Japanese.

A statement of the educational system to
be introduced into Japan by the government
has been issued by the Department of Edu
cation of the Imperial government. For
educational arrangements the whole country
is to be divided into eight districts. In each of
these divisions or districts there is to be one
Imperial university, thirty two colleges, and
two hundred and ten grammar schools. In
the grammar schools will be taught the high
er branches of good home education, with
a commencement of foreign languages. In
the several colleges there will be curricu-
lum of studies similar somewhat to the
classical course in American colleges, and
in the universities there will be Faculty of
Law, Medicine, Languages, Higher Mathe
MATES, and Sciences. For the education of
the children of the country, girls as well as
boys, there are to be in the whole country
$4,000 primary schools established. Chill
dren are to commence going to school at
six years of age. 1t would appear that the
tuition in the primary schools and in the
grammar schools is to be free to all. But
IN the college, tuition is to be SIS month,
or at the rate of $50 year, and in the
universities $3.50 a month, or 800 year.
From the colleges one hundred and fifty
students are to be sent abroad annually to
pursue their studies, and they Will each be
furnished with $1,000 per annum for their
expenses while abroad From the universi-
ty thirty of the best scholars will be sent to
foreign countries annually to prosecute high
err studies in science and arts, and they will
be furnished $500 each annually to meet
their expenses. These advantages of going
abroad to stay are to be rewards for dill
gence and success in study in the colleges
and universities and in order to stimulate
the students in the grammar schools fifteen
hundred students from them will be eligible
to scholarships in the colleges, the amount
of these scholarships being sufficient to sup
port them while at college. Certainly no
government could offer higher reward for dill
gence and success in study.

Death of Rev. Thomas Jackson.

The London Watchman and Wesleyan
advertiser of March 18th, announces the
death of this distinguished Wesleyan preach
er and author, which took place on the 10Th
ult. Mr.. Jackson was for more than half
century one of the foremost men of English
Methodism. His long life was crowded
with arduous service for the Master, who
spared him to the Church until he had
reached the advanced age of ninety years.
In commenting upon his death the Watch
man says:
Peacefulness and JOY in the Lord, which
had characterized him through many years,
were his to the end. A short time before
his death, when in remembrance Of what
the venerable saint had previously declared
concerning the peace of God having been
mis- without interruption for seventy years,
DR.. Jobson remarked to him, Your peace
still flows as river" 90, yes" he re-
Piled, II have perfect peace; and want a
change of the phrase concerning death found
in the hymn book, as to its being the dread
full shade Death is not dreadful to me. :"
Being reminded that formerly the term
dreadful was sometimes employed to ex-
press deep solemnity, as well as what was
alarming, he SAID, Yes, and it must be so
In that instance. Death is solemn, but not
at all dreadful 10 me in fearful sense. =
Other expressions of unruffied repose in God
were uttered by MIN. as we'll as of a deep
sense of nothingness. He declared emphat-
ically-"I am nothing-I was nothing to
begin with, and am still nothing" He ex-
pressed deep interest in questions relating to
Methodism and TO the nation, and sent mes
sages of love to the brethren. He wrote
bis name for the last time with hand that
all but forgot its cunning, and without sight
60 perceive what was written. He expressed
some wishes concerning his funeral, and
then composed himself III his bed, where, as
before, he was tenderly ministered unto by
his devoted daughter, Mrs. Marzials, with
whom he resided, and by beloved grand
children. In this state of quiet rest In the
Lord he continued, alternately sleeping and
waking; and while not seeming to lose con-
seriousness at any time when awake, he
gently sank, becoming weaker and weaker,
until as with the softness of infant breath
ing, he fell asleep in Christ, without even a
last gasp or sob to mark the instant when
his life on earth ended.

do I Seem to Drag my Anchors g

As the supreme hour drew near Com
modore Maury turned to his son, and asked,
in the language of the ruling passion, "Do
seem to drag my anchors?" The answer,
They are sure and steadfast," gave him
gratifying assurance. When he had been
silent for some time, and supposed to be
speechess, Colonel Maury approached him
and euquired his condition. He responded
with marked distinctness and emphasis, "All
is we'll" Soon he saw the signal, and set
sail for the eternal shores.
No dying utterance of the great has ever
impressed us more than the last words of that
scientific seaman, who disclosed the mysteries
of the deep as Newton did those of the sky
- Do seem to drag my anchors?" ques-
ton the full significance of which all who
have been in ship at her mOOrings, when a
heavy gale threatened to render all her Sc
curities uuayailing; and which all who under
stand the deeper soicitude of soul in fear
of being swept from its last refuge, can fully
appreciate. The profound sentiment of
Christian faith found expression in the Ian,
guage of loved vocation, and in this case a
vocation which brings men in daily contact
with that which, more than any other of the
material works of God, is symbOlical of eter-
nifty. Com. Maury has been disabled for
many years from active service, but his scen-
ti6c lsbors have rendered more practical ben
efts to maritime life and commerce than all
the voyages of all the merchantmen and all
the cruises of ships of war in modern gen.
erations. Yet the image which filed his
dying eye was not drawn from his researches
into the laws of matter, nor from the gigantic
struggles of the Confederate war, nor from
the grand mountains amidst which he ended
his days, but, from the ship whose "quarter-
deck" he had paced when a youth, holding
by her anchors in some storm which threat
ened her with Shipwreck even when under
the shadow of the shore. Happy the mariner
who, while the gale howls around him, feels
that the hardest pull of the vessel will not
lift his anchor from the ground, and happier
still the Christian, who like Maury is firm
and steadfast in his dying hour.
