The Peabody Fund.

Attention is directed to the following
dispatch;
The committee of the Peabody fund
trustees, consisting OF WIN, Il. Evans,
John w. Clifford and Samuel Wetmore,
appointed TO consider the subject OF
mixed schools OF the South, report that
after the mos. careful opinions and the
most 'solicitous consideration of all the
elements Of the discussion affecting tho
interest Of education In the various
States for tae white and colored popu-
lation, they have unanimously come to
the conclusion that the prosperity and
hopes of the public system OF educa-
ton at the South, will receive serious,
II not fatal, blow from any legislation
which would make such system Of ed
ucaticn maintainable only bya scheme
Of mixed schools. AS 10 the crganiza-
ton required for such public education,
the board are Of the opinion that while
justice and public duty, as we'll as the
interests and feelings Of the white and
colored people of the South concur in
demanding system of public oduca-
ton which should give equal oppor-
tunities and equal advantages to the
children Of either color, that no such
result would be promoted by the com.
pulsory system of mixed schools. The
committee, in conclusion, say these
views are fully set forth in the report
of the general agent, which 10 accepted
and approved as expressing the unani-
nous opinion Of the trustees,

From the Chattanooga Times.

From the Chattanooga Times.
We have interviewed a large number
of the representatives Of the press in at
tendance on the Southern Convention
and the unanimous verdict was, at is a
most ridiculous fizzle."
There has not been q prominent
Northern Republican present to keep
the concern in countenance, and the
representation from the Southern States
is composed entirely of the worst sort
OF political adventures, who have no
object in view save the retention of the
Offices they now hold, and to so work
up tho outrage" business as to secure
new lease of life for their fast.dying
party. The affair has been sectional in
every respect. 1t has not been compos-
ed of the respectable element of the
Southern Republican party. Its out.
givings have been such as were dicta-
ted by the masters at Washington
South and North Carolina Republicans
who took prominent part in the move
ment at the start, gave it the go-by in
the end, probably because they "took a
hint" from Washington.
The Convention has not only been a
"manufactory," but 1t was first "made"
by Clayton and Brooks, of Arkansas,
and all their efforts to lick the misera-
BILE abortion into respectable seeming
have proved futile. It's effect will be
damaging TO the Republican party, and
we give Grant and his organ credit for
some foresight, in seeing this and trying
to choke off any expression about the
Civil-Rights Bill, and the third term.
