The Civil Rights Bill.

The National Normal, az Influential educa-
tional Journal published at Cincinnati, says:
.'Whatever their motives the friends Of
"ciyil rights came near placing themselves GU
record as the enemies of education 10 the South.
There is not the slightest doubt but that the
passage Of the Civil-rlghts Bill would have nip
ped 10 the bud the present educational growth
of all the Southern States. The discussion aud
action which has already taken place has fallen
like severe frost npou this tender plant, the
blightiug effects OF which in some places 1t will
recover, 10 others it will not. We imagine that
if certain agita.ors could set 10 our chair and
listen to the actual cries of terror and despair
which come to US from genuine friends OF edu-
cation throughout the South, they would not
exhibit such hot haste to carry out an idea, the
right of which can be decided not from thcoret
ical but from practical considerations alone.
We are not Suutherner, nor do We euler-
tain auy of the notions peculiar to the South,
vet We are an American aud sympathlze with
every citizen of our land, regardless of his claim
or claims Education is Dstional work. II Is
the cement that must bind again the lucohe
rent fragments of our country. 1t is the COM
mon ground upon which we all, however diverse
our interest, or different our sentiments can
ard must stand. 1t must be the first consider
alton with the true patriot and the honest legs
lator. Set the educational systems of the dit
ferent states into good working order aud the
prcjuiices Of ignorance, the spites of blgotry
and the arrogauceot wealthy prosperity will van
ish like fogs before the sun. Education by its
mild and irresistible power must do 10 It's own
good time the work which the short cuts" of
one sided legislation will but hinder and strap
gle in its cradle. Education will make friend
Ship when party-legislation will provo ke the
most uudyipg hatred. The Civilrights bill
would not only Increase the disease of our body
polite but prevent its cure by taxing away its
only remedy education. True patriotism must
rejoice at the failure of its passage"

A meeting of the Radical Congressional Com
mittee for the Third District, was held in Rich
mond on Monday. Mr.. j. Amber Smith is
undoubtedly the choice of very large majority
of the committee. The nominating Copven-
ton was deferred until the first Wednesday in
October in his interest. Mass meetings to
elect delegates to the Convention were called
for the 3Oth September. The Richmond COR
respondent of the Petersburg News, says there
is but little doubt that there is a movement
among the fespcctables of the Radical party Of
this district to nominate no one for Congress,
but to let John Amber Smith run on his own
account, trusting to his personal popularity. !"

1t is said that Attorney General Williams has
gone to Long Branch to lay before the Presi.
dent statement Of the condition of affairs at
the South, and the Philadelphia Press says it
is limited that an extra session of Congress will
be called to take action on the subject. Mr..
Williams seems to have cast in his fortunes
with the extremists of his party, and to be
using his official influence to revive the old
bitterness towards the Southern people. The
suggestion of an extra session originated, it is
said, with Fred Douglas.

7othe editor Of the Iiernu7riu Ga=ette:
ln the published proceedings Of the Con-
greSslonal Convention, which met 10 Alexan-
drla 90 the 26th ult., aud which appeared in
the Gazette Of The 9th, injustice was done me
by at least Que of the speakers In the first
place it was stated by Mr. S. S. Turner, Of
airen, that | had always voted the Radical
ticket, except at the Gubernatoria election.
ln reply, L have 10 state that | never cast a
Radical vote in my life, having always voted
with the Conservative party, except In the last
Presidential election, when | refused to vote
for Greeley. | did not vote for Gen. GRAFT,
but had done so, would not be ashamed Of it
now.
Another speaker, Gen. w. H Payne think
ing that the Convention was not the place Tor
me- honored me for not being present. Had
not another meeting of seceeders chosen as
delegate from my precinct my brothcr-in-la
Mr. Henderson, between whom and myself the
most Cordial relations exist, and which relations
did not desire to disturb by contesting his
seat, would certainly have been there. The
meeting over which | presided was called to
order by the Conservative Township Superiu-
tcndcDt, who nominated Mr. Brawner for its
chairman. Oaly fourteen members of the meeet-
ing, myself Of the number, voted for Mr.
Brawner. | was most unexpectedly nominated
and elected to the chair, when, for sumo rea-
son, best known to themselves, the Superoten-
dent and a few others withdraw.
That Radicals participated u the meeting Of
which was chairman, [ have no knowledge,
nor dc l. bee7e they did, but the meeting was
composed Of Conservatives, who, for the most
part, were friends of COL Mostly. That they
would have preferred Mr. Barbour to General
Huuton am DOT prepared to say; for myself,
l certainly W 'uld not. EDw'D G. TURNER.
