The English Political Situation.

VIEWS OF CHARLES KINGSLEY
Rev. Charles Kingsley, the poet, novelist
and historian, just arrived in this country,
in a recent interview was asked his opinion
of the dissolution Of Parliament and the
political outlook in England, and replied ;
1.-THE dissolution of Parliament was not
unexpected, and it is not particularly
significant. 1t indicates no reaction from
liberal ideas, AMI it is better for Mr.. Glad
stone to retire now, when his prestige and
influence Is at the highest, than to remain
and risk possible fall in tie future. The
liberal cause is so firmly established that il
cannot fall England is essentially wing
country, that is, in the great middle class
and shopkeeping class, which is the great
| power. Even the conservatives OF England
are liberal at heart, and, on the other hand
| the liberals are conservative at heart. In
| other words, there are no essential difieren-
ccs Of faith in the real opinions of the vast
| BODY of Englishmen. | remember case
where two gentlemen, both friends OF
mine, were the opposing candidates fol
a seat in Parliament, One styled
| himself liberal conservative, and the
other conservative liberal, and that
really, is about all the difference that there
is between the parties in England. In this
case it is a fact that the Liberal COnserva'
tive's address to the electors was the more
liberal, and the Conservative Liberal wa;
the more conservative of the two. Whai
will be the effect of the late election fol
Members of Parliament? Well, hav'
heard it jokingly remarked that the only
apparent result would be the distribution
of great many gallons of beer among thu
voters. You know that the political com
plexion of Parliament, il you will TAX
black TO represent the Conservatives. ant
white to represent the Liberals, will still b.
gray. There is really nothing to fear from
the coming leaders of the cabinet, and leas
Of all. perhaps, from Disraeli. lie an
Lord Derby, Lord Cairnodian, and Lor'
Salisbury, who will all, suppose, hay
some place in the cabinet, are all Liberal
at heart. and are all safe men. The new
Parliament is pretty closely balanced. as i
has lately been, and it Is Just as well tina
it should be 50.

The Chicago Teacher thinks that whip
ping is better punishment than detention
after school hours. because it sets the blood
in circulation and causes increased activity
of the brain. Assuming this to be true. it
is suggested that the editor Of the TEACHER
should subject himself to a severe whipping
certainly as often as once q week.

reported the said lands, and hold in my
possession the State Treasurer's receipts for
every dollar belonging to the State.
In tie charges of forgery, the amount 10
about $llO. for certificates issued to wit
nesses at different times. This case is Sim.
liar to the one investigated last summer,
and explained above. and 1 am satisfied
will prove as clear vindication. But the
very amount shows that it is far.fetched.
1t is not to be presumed that Q clerk must
know all of the hundreds of witnesses that
appear in court at the different terms.
And 1t does not appear reasonable that re-
celvlng fair compensation, and having
bright prospects before me, that l would
blight them by being guilty Of such crime
with all its attendant risks and punish
ments for the paltry sum of about $1OO!
No, sir. The object Of the White Leagners
is to magnify flimsy charges against Re-
publican officers. scatter them broad
cast over the land through the White
League Associated Press before
trial is ever had, and to endeavor to make
the people of the North believe that the
South is overrun with thieves The agent
Of the Associated Press in Vicksburg has
been busy telegraphlng base charges all
over the country concerning me, but he has
totally failed to send dispatches when
was exonerated. A statement appeared
in your city papers. on last Friday, and was
made an Associated Press dispatch, that l
remarked that ''the war of races was now
upon ne, and that the negro women ought
to take the knife and Ak and slaughter the
white women and children" It was the
basest of fabrications-no such words ever
having escaped nv lips. These glaring
lies have totally failed to make any impress
sion upon the minds OF the public, but
since l have been in your city many of my
friends here have advised me to make this
this statement for your columns, and to
respectfully request the papers throughout
the country to copy it. Yours, etc.,

The Opera.

The opera.
The reproduction, after All interval of

rusalem." on Monday. should be recorded
as one of the notable events in the operate
calendar, and it is with unfsigned pleasure
we accord our meM of praise to the man.
agement for the efficient and complete man
ner in every detail with which it was pro-
duced. The burden Of the opera is confined
principally to Nine. vercken. as Helene,
and NJ. Chelli, as CASTOR, and right ably
did they acquit themsel YES, eliciting re-
peated recalls.
The tive arias of the second act, conceded
by musicians to be the trQ ones, were sung
in manner to leave NO room for criticism,
as also the grand trio in the last act, by
Mime. vercken, Chelli and Feitlinger. NJ.
Chelli in the execution scene was admira
BILE, sh0 wing much dramatic ability.
A good word is due for the chorus, which
was, without exception, the best that has
been heard thus far, thanks to NJ. Momas
for the care and attention to the rehearsals.
Those accustomed to listen to Verdis other
operas would scarcely recognize, in "Jeru-
salem," the same composer. Altogether, it
was moro enjoyable than any opera given
this season, and to our musical public, who
have not heard "Jerusalem," we can say
they have treat in store.
The "Pas Moresque." by Miles. Stickel,
Braig and Augusta, was feature, and con-
tributed to the enjoyment.
1t will be repeated on Saturday, when, it
is hoped, crowded house will testify their
apprObatiOn.

Como Of the Fruits.

At the recent election in this city many
colored mon of various shades and ranks,
from genuine blaok men to those 90 light
as to be readily mistaken for white, and
from the class of day laborers to that of
wealthy holders Of real estate, permitted
themselves to be cajoled or browbeaeen into
giving the support of their votes and per-
sonal influence in opposition to their life long
friend. the Repub blican party, and in sup.
port of their deadliest enemy, the Demo
cratic or White League party. Since the
election, which has established White
League supremacy in the city (partly
through the strength of these same pervert-
ed Republicans), colored men of wealth,
standing and culture have been refused
admission to the Opera House, privilege
formerly accorded to them; and now we see
the mere application of some colored
girls for admission into one of the
Girls High Schools resented as an in
suit. They were not rejected as unfit
in point of scholarship, for their fitness
was not tested; nor as unworthy in
point of character, tor no examination was
had into their testimonials of conduct; their
mere appearance within the walls of the
school room devoted to the instruction of
white girls in the higher branches was the
signal for general uprising among the
school girls, and is characterized by one Of
our contemporaries as IAN unparalleled in
sult." And these are among the first fruits of
the great victory which has given the White
Leaguers entire control of our local affairs.
and to which colored men Of all classes
have contributed. How do you like 1t, gen.
tlemens You help to pay the taxes by
which the schools are supported. Your
daughters have gone thoroughly
through the course of studies in the
intermediate departments; they have
reached the standard of scholarship re-
quired by the Board of Directors of the
public schools for admission into the high
Schools; they have certificates of good be-
havior; they present themselves with their
certificates. How are they received Like
pack of wolves. Where now are all the
fine promises you received when invited to
vote the White League ticket? Where is
your equal citizenship Your children are
excluded from schools of certain grade
on account of their complexion, and NO
substitute is provided. Who among your
new found White League friends comes for
ward to assist you v ith even the suggestion
that a high school should be provided for
your children, with even the acknowledg-
ment that it is b ard case and that some.
thing should be done to remedy the ipjus-
tice? Not one. Scorn and indignation at
your 'insolence," as they call the attempt
Of your childr en- to carry on their educa-
tion, is your only need; not word of
recognition of your rights in the matter,
not word of regret at the storm of pre-
udice which regards that attempt as an
outrage. A. B.

The Police.

i
The Picayune Of yesterday morning con-
tains an article in reference to the police
force. which can only be construed as 3
gross slander on that loyal body of good
men. The police are true to the govern
ment, and will do their whole duty when
called upon, as they always have done. To
be sure they have had many embarrass-
ments to encounter, and their lines have
not been cast in pleasant places; yet they
have done nothing, by word or deed, to jus
tify the charges made sgainst them by the
Picayune. They are intelligent enough to
see from what source their troubles have
originated, and they have not inspired the
police with love or respect We sincerely
hope no occasion will arise to put the police
upon their mettle; but if it should, it will
be found their old glory and esprit have
not departed.
Who would tempt the tickle goddess of
fortune has but to invest in the tickets of
