EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH

One Of the most unaccountable features
of the present situation in the South is The
fact that the poorer class of white citizens
in that section arc averse to popular educa-
ton. Before the war they were kept in
the subsection of ignorance by the slave
holding rulers, because their votes were
necessary 10 maintain the supremacy of the
slave oligarchy, and because it was known
that as soon as they became possessed of
sufficient intelligence to reasonably under
stand their surroundings they would UNI
doubleday break loose from the political
control under which they had lived, or,
more properly, barely existed, for genera
tons. The struggle between the sections
came, and they found the strife, to use
homely phrase, to be a ''rich mans war
and poor mans fight While the over
whelming mass of them remained true to
the Confederate flag throughout, thousands
of them deserted from the Southern armies,
and at the close of the contest were the
happiest Of the happy over the prospect of
peace. Since then they have, with mar
Vicious stupidity, returned to the political
affiliations which led them, like beasts to
the slaughter, upon untold battle-felds, to
fight for the prOlongatiOn of their own dis
tress and infamy. Later on, after the days
of reconstruction, we find no improve
ment among them in this re-
gard, but, on the contrary, as
the willing tools of their more intelli-
gent neighbors we find them actively con-
cerned in the midnight raids of the Ku-
Klux and the horrible massacres of black
and white Republicans, which have, during
the past five or six years, Redeemed the
pages of our history with deeds of blood
and carnage, Theirs were the hands that
held the dagger that fired the pistol and
applied the scourge and torch, while in

BosToN is taking a hand in the railroad
fight against New York for the Western
trade. The completion of the Hoosac tun
mel gives her direct line to Chicago, and
in the contemplated new route she proposes
10 strike the Erie road at Poughkeepsie. 1t
is very evident that New York must make
up her mind that in the future she will
have to divide the Western business with
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and pos
sibly one of the extreme Southern ports.

john MoRRrssEY has given the most
sensible and practical advice to the Demo-
cratic party that has been offered to it since
the elections. They ought, he SAYS to re-
affirm the public debt, accept the fruits of
the war, and declare against the payment
Of all claims by the South for cotton and
negroes lost by the rebellion. The ex-
prize fighter has much more sense than
many of the so-caIled statesmen.

THE recent advance of the rate of inter
est by the Bank of England was designed
TO check speculation and cause a return Of
specie to her vaults. But the scheme docs
not, as yet, seem to work well. The de-
mand for loans was fully supplied by the
joint stock associations, so that the i'd
vance by the bank had but little effect.
Democratic organs attribute the advance in
gold here to the advanced rates of interest
by the Bank of England This will not
do. We are not borrowers from the bank
1t is the reaction of the Democratic tidal
wave

THE Virginia board of canvassers have
decided to give the certificate of election
in the Norfolk district to Mr. Goode, Dem
ocrat, instead of Hon. Jas. H. Plat, who
is the real choice of the people. This re-
suit is attained by discarding the entire
vote of Prince George county, because the
Democratic county clerk very conveniently
neglected to sign his name to the return.
He has been forty years county clerk, and
never was guilty of such neglect before.
We wish Mr. GoOde and his feIlow-Demo-
Gratis Joy of seat obtained in this way.

THE Baltimore Gazette comes to the res
cue of the white Leaguers' now by join
ing the Tribune in the defamation of
Messrs. Hester and Beach. 1t played the
same role two years ago in reference to the
Ku-Klux in North and South Carolina, but
Southern courts and juries indicated Hes
ter and Beach then by the conviction of the
ringleaders among those whom they ar
rested They now fear that they will soon
see similar results in the conviction of
White Leaguers, and hence desire to i'm
neach the Government witnesses.

= Mr.. Dunnell is making vigorous
campaign. We notice that he is posted
to speak at over forty places in the Dis
trict, and wherever he appears he has
large and appreciatlve audiences, and
makes many friends. The people are
determined that Dunnell shall not be
put down by falsehood, A writer in
the Blue Earth City Post, says:
The First Congressional District of
Minnesota, which includes the two
southern tiers Of counties, is being
very thoroughly canvassed. The sue
cess of Congressman Dunnell's enemies,
in promulgating damaging lies about
his votes on the Salary and Mileage
bills, was so great that he entered up
on the campaign against a stiff cur
rent; but as he faces his constituents,
and as lie and they have a square face
to face interview, he seems to he carry
ing everything by storm, and it is evil
dent that the people whom he has so
we'll served in Congress, will not now
prefer, in his stead, a man like Judge
Waite, whose election would send a
thrill of joy into the hearts of South
ern rebels and assasins. predict Mr..
Dunnell's reelection by strong ma
jority.

BEEC'HER,

The reception given the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher on his return to Plym-
outh Church is the most gratifying
thing which has occurred in connection
with the great scandal. It shows that
the vast congregation which he has led
for SO many years have almost unboun-
ded confidence in him and that their
love has only been intensified by the
devilis'a conspiracy of Tilton and Moul-
ton to effect his ruin. It will not do to
say that Plymouth CLurcl, has closed
its eyes to the facts and that it must
stand by him guilty or not guilty for
selfish or financial reasons. Churches
are exceedingly sensitive to the clarac-
ter OF their pastors, and if there was
any good reason for believing Beecher
guilty, there would be such storm of
Indignation raised in Plymouth Church
as would sweep him from the pulpit for
ever. But Plymouth Church, and the
great body of the Christian world, be-
lleVe Beecher innocent, and will stand
by him until his guilt is established in
a court of justice. The God whose
love Beecher has preached as no other
man has ever preached it, is ''sifting
him as wheat" is ''sitting upon him as
a reliner of silvey,' and we believe
Beecher will come out of the crucible
purer and brighter than ever.
1t is possible but not at all probable
that 3eecher is guilty, and what we
have insisted upon from the first is
that the Christian world should believe
Tilton and Moulton guilty Of conspira-
cy rather than believe Beecher guilty Of
the main charge. And this, we are
exceedingly gratjlied to see, the Chris
tian world is doing and will continue to
do until the great preacher is proven
guilty Ivy Il competent tribunal. -.

We noticed last week that some of
the grasshopper sufferers about Hutch
inson, Kansas, had gone on a hunt for
buffalo meat and had been captured by
the Indians. A dispatch says:
Captain Collins, of the militia, dis
covered the dead bodies of five buffalo
hunters from Reno, in the south part of
Clark county. They were all scalped
and their horses killed. The Indians
were fourteen miles off, but owing to
alack Of supplies and ammunition, Cap
tain Collins did not pursue them. The
hunters referred to were killed on the
9th of August last.
Mr.. Beecher has at length done what
we insisted should have been promptly
done after Tilton's first statement. He
has entered complaint against Tilton
for malicious libel and SANDER and the
Grand Jury have found an Indictment
against Tilton. Complaint has also
been entered against Moulton with the
same result. We stated several months
ago that Plymouth Church ought to
spend a million dollars, if necessary,
in bringing this gang of free-love con-
spirators to justice. and it looks now
very much as if Plymouth Church
would do so.

The st. Paul Pioneer, speaking Of
the reception given to Beecher OIL his
return to Plymouth Church, asks:
Is this Christianity? Is it that SUBJ
lime doctrine Illustrated in the Life Of
all lives the grandest and the purest?
Is this that avoidance of offence to all
men impressed upon the inspired pa
ges to preserve pure and spotless the
Christian character?
Yes, thaS is just what it is. For once,
great church has shown the true
Christian spirit and not abandoned it's
pastor at the first breath Of scandal
For once, it has been shown that wick
ed men cannot destroy a good man by
a devillsll conspiracy and that the pet
adage OF the slanderer that "a lie well
stuck to is as good as the truth'' is not
true IN all cases. All honor to Plvm-
onth church which dares to stand bv it's
pastor and defy the opinion of the anti
church element.
