Governor Kellogg has made an ad-
dress to the people OF the United
States, under date Of September 3)th,
which Is too lengthy for our columns
We will say Of II, however, that Gov
ernor Kellogg makes . mastery and
perfectly conclusive defense Of himself
and bis administration, while, at the
same time, he makes . showing that IL
fearfully strong against his opponents.
He compares the expenditures Of the
State each year since the close of the
Rebellion. running through nine years,
and shows that his administration cost
the State seven millions less than that
of Warmoth. and fourteen millions
less lhan the administration preced-
ing; that he has paid 100000 Of the
public debt, and, It the same time,
greatly reduced taxation. @
It IL fearful state OF things, and not
unlike the condition preceding the
great Rebellion. when Anti Monop., /,
Democratic Journals, like the DAven.
port Democrat, can defend revolu.
tionary overturning Of . State govern
ment, like that recently occurring In
Louisiana, costing the lives Of scores
Of citizens. The following 10 all Of .
brief editorial the Democrat gives on
the subject, in which 1t basely and
knowingly fklsides. 1t openly de-
fcnds treason. Read:
Kellogg thus boldly avows that his
administration was for the tssole" ben.
eft OF the negroes Of Louisiana. These
number $4,000. The white popula.
tion numbers 282, 600. It Il for the
964 600 blacks that Kellogg adminis.
ters the government. The 262, 900
whites may GO hang. And the carpet
baggers' black league. having Kellogg
for their slave, and Grant Ct his back
and bidding, processes astonishment
that . white league ID formed. Self
defense against carpet-bAg thief and
usurper, who administers the author
ity of the State Of Louisiana, and
wields the military power Of the
United States for the sssole" benefit of
the blacks, u . crime, forsooth, that
should fire tho Northern heart.
We feel absolutely certain that no
paper In the North moro clearly de-
Tended the treason Of 1861 than the
above language defends the treason Of
the same parties. Proselyting in Pam
demonium 10 generally regarded q
poor business, and we regard Il equally
20 among those Journals Of the North
that sustained the South In '6l. They
show the game cloven foot now.

Of the School journal
THE HIGH SCHOOL IN IOWA.
It 10 with no little hesitancy that I ap-
proAch the discussion Of the subject assign
cd me BY the conductor Of this department
Of our association, and for this reason, that
would mot seem to withhold, in the least,
anything Of that honorable mention and
tribute which 70 Justly belong to our prss-
ent excellent system Of schools. and yet I
am Of the opinion that the high school de-
paftmept in our State must show somewhat
unfavorably when compaved with tho same
grade in the older States.
freely admit that We can only expect
perfection, or that which approximatss to
it, - the years accumulate; yet, in face Of
this admitted fact, am convinced that we
have not done for this higher department Of
cur instruction oil that should have bsen
done in the years that have passed. take
It for granted that We oil regard the high
school - fitting climax and embodiment
Of our present system Of schools, and be-
ode We do not doubt that this department
should represent . full course in the Eng.
iish and classical studies, 10 do not need 10
delay discussing either Of these point, but am
able to procsed ct once 10 the main subject
OF this paper, namely: the relative merits
II the high school department in Iowa %
compared with the same grade in the older
States. MY experiences in and knowledge
Vt this higher grade in the older States as
sures me that am safe In the assertion that
both pupils and patrons are not only will
ing but anxious that rea sonable length Of
timo shall be taken to complete the pre-
scribed course. There is little disposition
shown in New England high school to cut
corners by dropping some Of the more diff
cult studies and substituting therefor others
that require less of time and thought in
making oneself familiar with the subject
matter therein contained.
An Eastern college never feels herself
obliged to lessen her requirements for the
admission Of any pupil 70 her instruction,
but, on the contrary, she is most exacting,
and continually 20, that the full prsparato-
~ courss shall bs compieted before the pu-
pill can be admitted, a. such, within her
walls, and this fact is 10 thoroughly recoe-
nized that the high school IL more than will
ing to fill the full course before expecting
the higher privileges of the college. Not
few Of our % called colleges hero in the
West have, for certain reasons made less its
requirements OF the preparatory schools for
admission TO the instruction that these high
er institutions afford, and I am compelled
to believe that, by reason Of this fact, there
have been schools founded or inaugnrated
here in Iowa Improperly deuominated col.
ieges where the occasion and necessity for
such did not exist. They not only are I'M

The Impending Conflict.

That against which we contend is an or
gained conspiracy to overthrow the princi-
Piles Of political morality, that guarantee Of
the stability of the republic. 1t is as certain
to be yanquishel ultimately as was the re.
bellion of Davis and Lee. 1t may have its
days OF disgraceiul triumphs, pass its fugi-
tive slave laws, repeal its Missouri comprom.
ises, and proclaim on the street corners its
contempt Of conscience, justice and law.
The country may have its long and desperate
conflict, with varying fortunes, now a woful
Big Bethel and now a Gettysburg, but of
the final result there is no doubt. The
Camerons and Buffers the Caseys, Shep.
herds and Simmonses will be defeated and
disgraced. The republican party may not
survive, but that is minor consideration.
The honor aud virtue Of the American peo.
pie will be indicated, and that is all-impor.
tant. When dcmagogues rule the hour, when
sel6shness is the controlling motive of the
peoples servants, when personal ambition
smothers the purpose Of duty, when the aspi-
rations of craftsmanship count for nothing as
compared with the greed Of plumber, when
the cry of the people for economy is unheed.
ed, when the demand for reform is Knocked
at, when the industry of the country is made
the game Of stock gamblers, when the ma
tional government is accessory to usurpation
in the states, when corruption and demoral-
ization impudently resent investigation, it is
high time for men who love their country
more than any party to prepare to vindicate
the will of the people as the law Of the re-
public, at no matter what sacrifice Of old as
sOciations and long cherished hopes.-BOStOn
