MIXED SCHOOLS IN THE DIsTRIcT.-A Wash.
ington dispatch TO the New York Eeentns
Post says :ssThe question OF mixed schools
in the District OF 'Columbfa has often been
agitated and urged upon Congress BY lead.
Ing colored citizens, but nothing can come of
it. When the Board Of Public Works was
superseded hy the District commissioners
the latter re0rganized the Board OF School
Trustees by appointing mixed board, con.
sisting of whites and blacks. This Board
have drawn up report to be submitted to
the District commissioners, In which they
recommend that new board of education
be created, to have general control over all
schools and to disburse all funds appropri.
ated for the use of the public schools, and
that the schools for colored children shall
receive ssuch proportionate part of all mo-
neys received or expended for public school
or educational purposes, Including costs Of
sites, buildings, furniture, books, and all
other expenditures on account of schools, as
the colored children between the ages of six
and sixteen, inclusive, in the District of Co
lumbia bear to the whole number of chill
drcn. white and colored, between the same
ages This report being signed by all the
trustees, including the colored members,
furnishes reason for believing that there IS
to be no further attempt to bring about a
system of mixed schools in this district"

DiSraeli and Bismarck

In the speech delivered by DIsRAELI at the
Lord Mayors dinner he made the following
boastful remarks, which are much like The
language of our old-time Fourth-of-July ora
tons:
"The working glasses of Great Britain in
herited rights and privileges not yet pos.
sessed by the nobility of other lands. They
had no fear of arbitrary arrests and domi
ciliary Yisits."
This Is the lang uage which led to the sub
sequent disavowal by DIsRAELI, and the at
tack made on him By the Journal des Debats
OF Paris. 1t seems that the general con-
struction Of the remarks was that they al.
luded to the arrest of Count VoN ARNIx !;

"what VIII They Do With It2"

This question is often repeated Dy the ne.
publican press with reference to wha. the
Democrats will DO with the power they nave
ACQUIRED. II Is a question that perlheNes
the Republicans far more than It aoes lo'
Democrats and that large body OF sincere
ami peacefully-iisposed citizens who heipeo
them to war upon the party that 's'eu o'''
upon the rancoss and bates born OF war
We do not see any very great d'iacu'y 10
the way of property using the power 'ia'
hiss been in a great degree taken from the
Republicans. The party that has the respoh-
s;bili,y does not feel uneasy about u. I"i'i
he on,y necessary to be impartial in its mea-
sures regarding the States, 10 leave the states
to the management Of their local affairs, ana
to avoid all sectionalsms. We see no trou.
bic in this. The currency question may be
referred to the people in their congressional
districts Just as the tariff question has been,
and no discord can come from that quarter.
In short, the Democrats have but to give ex'
isience or realization to General GRANTS
motto, :" Let Us have peace" and they VIII
hold power for a long period, ana the coun'
try will become harmonious and prosperous
under them.
The great trouble as to "what will they
do with i,?" was with the so-called Repub-
Ecans, Who were never entitled to the name.
That party was hybrid: born Of monster
questions. They brought on civil war ana
lived upon the prejudices and rancors they
had engendered Upon their lips they ap-
p,auded GRANTS motto, LET us have
peace,". and in their acts they invoked every
evil spirit that could foster malice and spread
di<cord. They had, in the view of statesman
ship, no principles. Malignity and plumber
held them together, and they kept The de-
luded people following in their ranks sup
porting their war upon the national peace
and welfare by the fabrication Of falsehoods
against the South and the continuation of
their measures for southern oppression un-
der the monstrous and vilainouS preteXt
that they were all the time engaged ii quel!-
Ing the southern rebellion.
But the nefarious arts and devices of these
Republicans having been at last exposed,
they have been overwhelmed by the public
cenSure, and they are are about to be relieved
of all further care about what they will do
with power; for they will have no power,
TO the great good and glory of the country.
Mad, indeed, must the great party which
his overcome the Radicals be if they cannot
wisely use the power they have won. Their
course is straightforward. So much public
comfort-so much faith in thiugs-so much
harmony-will flow from the administration
Of the party that succeeds the Republican
party-which has So cursed the land-that
the people will be delighted under their
rule. They will even tolerate some errors in
Government which is so vast an improve
mcnt upon that from which we are about to
be relieved by mercitul Providence.

RIGHT and Generous.

At the great congratuatory meeting in
New York to receive Governor TILDEN seve-
raj excellent speeches were made. Among
them one very well-timed and very sensible
was made by ERAsTUs BROOKS, Of the New
York Express, in which occurred the follow
ing:
"Iu order further to show evidence of the
right and truth Of our party, have only TO
call TO your mind the large number of men
who were at one time strong Republicans,
but who have come over to the good cause
in time to vote for the future Governor OF
this State and Mayor ofthjs city. The truth
is that the scales bad been removed from
their eyes, and they saw that it was
time to have change-time for
new men, new parties, and new ideas.
1t is pleasant and cheering to know that the
poor dowu-trodden men of the South may
come here into the lange Of this club, and
after they are deserted by the Republican
party they will be just as welcome here as if
they came from Vermont or New Hampshire.
Now that the clouds Of despotism are break.
ing away in the South, and the glorious sun
of liberty is beginning to break through, l
can only express desire that the Empire
State uay be the frst to extend to her the
right-hand of fellowship. prolonged APP

Western Grain.

The New York papers are deploring the
tendency of the present system of trans.
portation to diminish the grain trade of that
city. Baltimore and other rival ports are
gaining what New York loses. "Terminal
facilities" they say, are doing the damsge.
Now, when we speak here about "termina
facil:iics" injuring this city we are told that
we are grumGler, la5oring under prtju-
dices personal and otherwise ; and the city
of Richmond is told by some that she has a
fair field. When we see that even the great
city Of New York is sufferer and is made
to cry out against the disadvantages TO which
she is subjected, how can we expect Rich.
mond to resist the influences of similar dis
advantages? We make no mistake on the
subject, and if the people of Richmond do
not take their affairs into their own hands
and adopt measures to protect their own in.
terests, they will have sadder proofs of the
injury they are daily suffering than they now
have.
Mr.. SuELLABARGER, of Ohio, is very much
interested in the cheap transportation ques-
ton, and is taking an active part with those
who are devotins themselves to the study OF
the question of how TO cheaper the trans
portatiou of grain from the Mississippi val.
lev to the Atlantic. lie states the cost Of a
bushel of grain from the Mississippi river to
New York by rail at 500 cents. The same
grain can be brought at this time to this
city at % cents per bushel, and may be put
in New York at not over 10 cents more,
making So cents per bushel. That would be
O great saving. But should the Central wa
ter-line be built that will still further re-.
duce the cost of transportation.
Therefore the best thing that Dir. SHELLA.
BARGER and bis colleagues can do would be
to advocate the Central water line. So, too,
should New York give that grand scheme
hearty support. 1t will be the cheapest
line for her, and its establishment would be
sure to strengthen her position as the great
commercial emporium and the "settling
point" for the North American continent.
The extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad connections to Louisville, Cincin.
natl, and Chicago will also be an important
measure for the advancement of her inter-
csts. She can get her transportation uia
Richmond cheaper than she can BY any other
route and that damage she now sustains
from the closing ofthe Erie canal five months
in the year eau be avoided almost wholly by
throwing herself upon the James River and
hanawha route for protection. The subject
is eminently worthy of the deliberate con
sideratioD of the great Gotham.

GENERAL WADE HAMPTos's SPEECH BEFORE
THE YOUNG MEN's DEMOCRATIC CLUB, OF NEW
YORK. LAST THURSDAY NIGHT.-"Iam happy
TO he able to give, IN few words, the hopes
and ambitions of the South. / beg to say
that am speaking only for myself, and by
my very large and extended acquaintance
throughout our land, may assure you that
the people of the South do not intend to en-
barrass the Democracy of the State of New
York. Our hopes and purposes were almost
lost in The very gloom of despair. There
was nothing to look for ia the future, when
the news from the Northwest awakened us
from our Iethargy.' The glorious news came
flashing along, telling US of the rising once
again oftbe Democracy, who had nailed their
colors to the rampsrts, and had declared that
the rule of rings bad come to an end. The
sound lang over the South, the people rallied
in their might, and showed their spirit in
Louisiana, in Alabama, and In Arkansas, in
spite Of bayonets and Of bordes Of ruttianly
detectives in spite Of all this the great mass
of the people rose and stood stoutly together,
and when the night of the Sd of November
came we lay down conscious Of baving done
our duty, be the result what it may. On the
morning of the 4th came the glorious word
Of the Empire State, which had risen in its
majesty to leading place once more in the
roll of States, and even Massachusetts had
given Democratic vote. Tired and heart
sore as We were, you may well imagine the
feelings of the people Of the South. When
you bad thus extended the right-hand of fel-
lowship we looked forward with hope that
in the success of the Democratic party we
should >ecuIe the rehabilitation of civil lib
erty and constitutional government.

that believe il as believe in my God that
The people OF the South intend not to en-
barrass the Democracy of the North by the
expression of one rash wish. They would
look to them to restore liberty. In the lam
guage of the old republic, that the republic
suffers no detrment.' We want no violent
revolutions, though I could tell a tale of woe,
of insult. and of downright wrong and des-
potism which would make ten thousand Of
Republican say 'can such things be?' and
cry shame upon those who have placed these
burdens upon us. l see you have inscribed

The PRESIDENT ON Civil RIGHTS Wash
tngton, November 20.-The President, in
conversation upon the ciyil-rights bill, ex-
pressed the opinion that he has always looked
upon some of the measures advocated in
that connection as exceedingly unwise. he
does not think that legislation designed to
regulate the social relations of any class of
people is judicious, and generally gives rise
to a state OF feeling calculated to do more
mischief than good. There were some
things which had better find their own level
than to undertake to force results out of the
natural course. Every citizen, he believes,
Is entitled to certain rights, and be he white
or black, rich or poor, those rights should
be enjoyed in untrammelled freedom. So
far he has favored civil rights, but when it
has been brought up as social question, in
which congressional interference can effect
no beneficial results, and only annoy o very
large, influential, and intelligent class, he has
opposed any further steps, and had the bill
before Congress last session been presented
for his signature, as already known, he would
have vetoed 1t, and that he will do with any
other bill Of a similar nature with similar
provisions on social questions.
In the matter Of mixed schools the Presi.
dent remarks that to enforce such measure
would tie of no service to the colored man,
and would destroy the common schools of
the United States, and deprive the poor of all
classes OF an education. What change there
might be in public sentiment on this subject
IN the future, he thought the future had
better determine. 1t was quite evident to
him that mixed schools would drive away
the children of large class who need edu.
cation, ard for whom the free schools were
first established. He only alluded In this
matter to the past Of the National Govern.
nent. As far as the action Of the States
we're concerned, that was a question entirely
ocal, and for them to decide. If public sen.
iment favored mixed schools they could
AVE them; but it was no part Of Congress
o force such measure whether OF not upon
communities of autagonistic views. The
President thinks that there should be ap.

Interesting Letter from the Attorney.

Mr.. Daniel sends us the following circular
letter:
To the Clerks Of Courts:
To the numerous letters Of inquiry have
received as to the effect Of the recent vote on
constitutional amendments upon the official
tenure of clerks OF courts make this gene.
raj reply, which, it is hoped, will be satisfac-
tory:
It may be assumed. although the fact is
not yet officially announced, that the amend
ments have been ratified by the people.
They substitute magisierial districts for
townships, and fix the elections both Of
county and magisterial district offices CLERKS

fourth Thursday in May--and the officers
then elected will 60 into office on the 1st
day of'July thereafter. The first elections
under these amendments will be held on the
fourth Thursday in May, 1875, and the
officers then elected will 20 into Office on the
1st day of July, 1875. But 10 the mean time
"the legally constituted officers of the seve-
raj counties and townships of the State CLERKS
include6) will continue 10 discharge the du.
ties of their Offices until the officers pro.
yided for by these amer dments shall have
been elected or appointed" Schedule acts,
1874, page 2l1; joint resolution, 3D.. page
1861
Had the amendments been rejected at the
late elections, the clerks then elected would,
under the existing law, have gone into office
on the 1st OF January next, and have served
for the full constitutional term; but as they
were ratified, whereby clerks and other off,
GERS are to be elected for full terms on the
fourth Thursday in May next, the elections

until the LIST day of July, 1875. when they
will be succeeded by those who will have
