MIXED SCHooLs.-The New York Journal
of Commerce, one of the ablcSt and most ~
Aueutial papers at the North, 10 noticing the
late report of the Trustees OF the Peabody I'd
ucational Fuud, says when these gentlemen
make statement Of fact about the South 1t Is
entitled to crcdence, aud their opinions upon
the best modes of educating the two races
should have weight equal at least to those troul
auy other source" 1t then takes up the sub
icct of mixed schools, and says: The freed
men appear generally we'll satisfied with the
present system 1t seems natural to them to
be isolated from the whites in schools They
neither expect nor desire to have the two coors
mixed 10 the same school house; aud but for q
few carpet baggcrs and kindred meddlcrs IN
Congress, who are pcrpctually stirring up
strife between the races, the freedmen would
never alone have raised the issue OF mixed VS..
separate schools. The organization
of national school system, with thousands OF
political agents as school teachers aud millions
of new expenditures, is the attcrthought OF
many of those who clamor for the imposition OF
mixed schools upon the South. They fully
expect that the mixed schools will fail for lack
of local support and then they could step 10
and possess the field with their grand national
scheme for new Offices and new OUTLAWS, and a
new hold on the political teal,y of the negroes.
AS political move this might scem to be very
cunning, but as measure for the education
and elevation Of the negro it is the holoweSt OF
delusions. His advancement is best subservcd
by the genuine sympathy aud corporation OF
his friend and neighbor, the white luan OF the
South, 10 the school systems already cs-

The recent election III Ohio, and the known
status of parties in New York and Peuusylva-

Radical party and their independent coadjutors
