THE SCHOOLS OFHAMBLEN.

THE SCHOOLS OF HAABLEN.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The writer has had the pleasure
and privilege of visiting many schools
in the South. He is a teacher of ten
years experience. He has seen and
inquired into the methods of instruc-
ton and discipline of every school
visited by him. He has learned
many things connected with schools,
from practical experience, and a
great deal from observation. He
has never volunteered to write OF the
merits of any school until now. But
the Male School of Morristown. Rev.
A. w. Wilson, Principal, justly de-
serves to be mentioned as a school
second to none in our country. Wis
ting the school, to see and know the
methods of instruction and discip-
line, is knowing for ones self. Prof.
w. is q practical and thorough
scholar and teacher. He loves his
work. He loves his school. The
discipline is enforced through the
instruction. It is parental, but pos
tive. And it is not surprising that
his school has reached such high
moral standard, when we but think
of the lectures given to the pupils,
the only means through which it is
possible to attain it. Prof. w. re-
cognizes the claims Of all his pupils,
as equal. He, therefore, justly
makes scholarship the incentive to
promotion. For, he knows, as all
practical teachers know, that any ar
tifcial stimulus is injurious to the
few, while the many are not benefit
ted. The few ambitious pupils viii
wear out, and the many feeling thai
it is useless to begin the race, vii
rust out. ! have met with Prof
Summers, but did not have thu
pleasure of visit to his school
From what l have seen and know o
him, and from the discussion o
school questions, l Judge that Nor
ristown is appreciative of his practi
cal qualifications as an instructor o
girls.

says: "Captain Hol oway arrived
here to-day from the newly discover
ed gold mines, on the north fork Of
the Outchela, en- route to st. Louis
to purchase apparatus wherewith to
commense active operations. The
mines are situated in the mountains
near the ChOctaw line, and are richer
than at first supposed. The Cap
tam passed through the silver dis
trict on his way here, and reports
the widest excitement over the re-
cent discoveries, After an examina-
ton of the ore and mines, he pro-
nounces the former very rich, and
the latter inexhaustible. and says
that the half has not been told.
The Goplin Mining Company will
Mt once commence the establishment
of several smelters for working the
anthony, which is in the most ex-
tensive lodes ever discovered in the
world. Miners and adventarers are

~ The Supreme Court of Mis-

recently by a knife encounter be-
tween two Judges, has rendered a
decision which may add to its fame
or infamy. A white man named L.

been intimate with a negro woman
who was living at the time with her
lawful husband. The woman had
two children, whose complexion in
dicates pure African paternity, but
the Court has decided that they are

Tho Civil Rights Bill.

We call the attention Of our Conservative Citi-
zens - tho conduct OF the Radical Senators.
They are determined TO force the negroes into the
public schools in all the border States 1r break
those institutions up. Mr. salisbury occupied
the time OF the Senate last night III able speech,
ss will be seen from the meagre report low
Last week the PenmSaiU Neus, one Ci the or
gaus OF the Radical panty, declared there were no
Republicans in Delaware in favor o, mixed
schools. 1t even went 10 fir ah 10 deny that
there was any foundation for the charge that the
negroes desired Ia have their children 60 school
with the whites, mud Srt the Radical Congress
msn have determined upon this folly. Let every
mau who has regard Tor the education Of his
children and has had connection with the hcpub-
hcan party abandon 1t at once aud show those
people that here in Delaware we will not be made
the social equal OF negroes by any laws tlat New
England may resolve TO pass. The bill was op-
posed by several Senators aud the Senate was in
session all night
Mr. Saulsbury, dem, of Delaware aaid the
Senate had already been in session nine hours,
and Senators were exhausted. lie saw hut three
members on the side OF the chamber occupied by
the dominant party. They were IN lhe cloak
rooms laughing and talking, or perhaps taking
their lepose. So far lac concerned he
would .sy to them, "Sleep on day Of Judgment
was CT ming, when the American people would
arise ficm tue apathy now existing" 1t was em-
barrassing for him to discuss the question at this
late hour, but rs Senator he had a right 10 be
heard. and would insist that those in the cloak
rooms should not annoy him by their lnughinS.
What right had Congress to enforce sociabity
and compaDionship among the races in the thea
tres and in the schoolsi Why was it that 10
provision was made for separate schools? 1t was
because Congress desired to enforce that compan-
ionship, and the Senator from Massach usetts
[Mr. Boutwell, was the only consistent Senator
upon that side of the chamber, although in his
INT Saulsbury's] opinion, the doctrines uttered
by him did him no credit.
The Senator from Massachusetts, knew, as
well as every Senator upon this floor, that the
bill would only affect the poorer classes of the
country. Not one of those Senators would
send their children to mixed schools. This
bill would not only destroy the common schools
Of the white people, but would also injure the
schools for c0ored people Throughout the land,
It did not stop with schools but extended to
the hospital and common almshouse every
where, the great object being to eaforce cOm
panionship and association, He was sorry to
say that he believed this measure originated
from hostility and animosity towards the
