The Question Of Color in Public
Schools.

The Question OF Color In FuDnc
Schools.
The Brooklyn Board of Education may be
dilemma. The vexatious question, ''Shall
colored children be allowed to sit in class with
white scholars?' has been submitted to their
decision in stern, logical way that admits of
nothing short of plain, straightforward re-
ply. The petition, in which this question is
brought up, deplores the exclusion of colored
children from the common enjoyment Of the
privilege of attending any of the public
schools designating it as an act of great in
justice and tending to perpetuate the humilia-
ton and degradation of the race. A member
of the Board in support of this petition. as
serted that there was no longer distinction
between whites and blacks, and that all the
public schools should be conducted with that
principle in view. The object, then, is the
abolition of educational institutions especially
devoted to colored children. This would be
great wrong against the very portion of the
community whom it pretends to assist Our
colored citizens, with very few exceptions,
prefer the present system Of separate schools
to one that would, undoubtedly, revive antago-
nism on account Of color in its worst form.
The colored schools have done and are doing
q vast amount of good, and there is not the
shadow of reason for abolishing them. The ex-
pertinent in question, to say the least will be a
doubtful one, and it is quite unnecessary too.
Colored parents prefer sending their children
to schools where there can be no opportunity
of reviving disagreeable questions, over which
men of education, experience and talent have
quarrelled This attempt to force the Civil
Rights bill beyond the limits which should be
reasonably accorded to it looks too much like
political trickery to attract the serious atten-
ton of any right thinking person in the COM
munity STILL according to the letter of the
law the petitioners may demand, and in such
a case must obtain, the privileges conveyed in
their communication to the Board. Already
in Poughkeepsie, this vexed question has been
set at rest by the admission of two colored
pupils into the public schools, and their
classification the same as the white children.

The MASSACHUSETTS, DEMOCRATS Met YES
TERDAY at Worcester and nominated fall
State ticket of unmixed political complexion.
Ex-Mayor CASTOR, of Boston, was nominated
for the place which Mr. Adams, the younger,
has so frequently and fruitlessly contested
hitherto. Beyond some faint hopes growing
out of the republican fight in the State there
was little calling for comment. Ohio and
Pennsylvania left nothing for the ''conven-
ienty small Bay State democracy to do but
acquiesce in the return to unadulterated
Jefferson.

finds expression in a creation like Schuyler
Colfax. The robes of our Senators
are enseamed and foul, and Mr. Collar only
looked white by comparison. 1t is the ten
dency OF C@sarism to encourage insincerity.
The augurs never laughed over their incanta-
tons and auspices in the highways So while
all Washington knew Colfax thoroughly
slippery ways, his skill in skipping novel and
dangerous issues how he shook hands with
everybody and never forgot face, and wrote
letters from morning to night, and dropped
an old friend as soon as he found new one, and
never, never, never did service beyond giving
Patent Office report to any human being
while all knew that he could smile on an OPP
ponent or a rival and wound him with dex-
terity that Richard III. would have envied no
one ever breathed q word of this to his dis
paragement He was an augur like the rest
and, since he wanted to be President of the
United States and wore his two-feathered
plume of temperance and religion in public
let him be nominated and let the people be
cajoled into his election.
1t was not so in other days-in the period of
simplicity and homely virtue. Aaron Burr,
like Mr.. Colfax, was candidate for the Pres
idency and Vice President of the United
States. Unlike his successor, he was man
OF unusual gifts-the peer intellectually of any
man of his day-excelled by Hamilton alone.
We are not aware that Mr.. Burr was suspected
of perjury or a confessed bride taker while
Vice President of tho TIp;+od Ct.t.. TIL. IL
velopment of his worst qualities came
afterwards. He was simply an INSCRIPTIONS
politician-like two. thirds of the Senators and
Representatives in the present Congress. Yet
because of this he was despised by Washing
ton, driven from public life by jefferson, and
lived in exile, penury, contempt pity, to q
dishonored and unloved old age. Mr.. Colfax
was shown by his own admission to have COM
mitted On offence against public morality
more fagrant than any attributed to Burr be-
fore leaving the Vice Presidency. He was
shown to have sold his honor for money
And yet the simple-minded Grant-the
honest soldier-writes him letter of
congratulation and endorsement, and he
claims to be leader and teacher in
our politics. How low have we fallen when
the fruit of our generation is Schuyler Colfax |!
and when even the pure-minded and honest
Grant can endorse him as man worthy of
honor! And not only endorse him, but send
another of the unholy combination. Mr.. Bing-
ham, to Japan as an American Minister How
low have we fallen-from the President who
spurned the marvellously gifted Burr to the
President who cherishes and endorses the
mediocre pretentious Colfax! The times
have changed; C@sarism has given its color
to the age, and it is not surprising that the
spirit has affected Grant and shows the domi-
nance Of mediocrity and false pretence.

Cuban Anairs-Tho Insurgents and
the Carlists.

Cuban Anairs-The Insurgents and
the Carlists.
Our latest advices from Cuba represent the
insurgents as actively resuming offensive
operations. Their latest reported achievement
is their descent upon and occupation ofthe port
of Nuevitas, from which it appears that, after
swarming over the town during the night and
after sacking stores and setting fire to some Of
the buildings, they retired at six in the morn
ing, having had their own way generally, the
Spanish defenders of the place having sought
refuge in the Custom House meantime as
their citadel Occasional captures of govern
ment army supplies en- route from one post to
another, with the burning of the buildings Of
sugar plantation here and there, are also re-
ported among the current events of this pro-
tracted war in the island. The essential fact
thus established is that the insurgent Cubans,
or liberals, still maintain their ground for in
dependence, and that they are beginning to
from the embarrassments Of poor Spain. In
this view, lit having come to the knowledge
of the President (Cespedes) that some of the
officers of the Republic (of Cuba) are abusing
their positions abroad" it is ordered that
they return Immediately to the island and re-
port to his headquarters. These officers, we
believe, are mostly now in this city, and if
their patriotism holds good they will at once
obey this order; for never heretofore have the
Cubans had so many advantages for their
cause Of independence as they now possess.
They should not depend too much upon the
idea that Spain six months hence will be pow
erless against them, for should the Carlists
supplant the Republic and recover the govern
ment at Madrid there can be no doubt that,
with an immediate recognition from England,
France and Germany, they will at once be put
in position for the reinforcement of the now
depleted Spanish army in Cuba. There is
reason to believe that the reports from Spain
are true that the Carlists are receiving contri-
buttons of money from friends in Cuba; for
the sugar planters Of the island, as a body,
adhere to their institution of negro slavery
as better for them than that independence
with emancipation for which the insurgents
are fighting. The present opportunity should,
then, be improved to it's fullest extent by
those Cubans who are contending for the
great causes Of national independence and
universal liberty; and the Island Of Cuba,
and not the city of New York. is the field
in which they should display their patriotism.

THE BROWN.BIGLIN RACE.

HALIFAX. N. s., Sept. 8, 1873.
Brown has agreed to Biglin's proposal for race
at Halifax three days after the St. John regatta,
and has signed articles and forwarded them, with
the necessary money for deposit, to New York to
bind the agreement. The race will probably take
place on the Goth inst.

mired. 1t is because of this Himsy policy
that SO. many parents, who yet have no SYM
pathy with Roman Catholicism, place their
young daughters in converts, which, whatever
else they may be thought by some to lack are
very strong in two grand essentials-thei ncul-
cation Of moral purity and the instruction in
those practical domestic details in which every
mistress of family must be an adept if she
would make that family's home happy
one We are not advocating the average
female ignorance of hundred years
ago, when q woman held her husband s
heart in proportion as she held her tongue,
and an accomplished housewife was consid-
cred a perfect helpmate We do not belong
to the low-bred mob who think, or affect to
think, that womans foot was made for the
rocker of cradle. and that her hand is never
better occupied than when moulding pastry;
but we insist upon the beauty not less than
the necessity of girls being SO educated at
school or college as for it to be impossible for
her not to be an adept in that practical knowl-
edge by means of which the average ideal Of
home is realized-an ideal not extravaganza,
not absurd, but simply embracing the ideas
of affection, comfort, health and purity. Until
this kind of education is given we shall still
see the same sad spectacle Of young girls en-
tering married life ignorant Of the very first
principles upon which domestic happiness is
based, and in their turn becoming mothers Of
daughters who pass through similar retro
gressive stage.
