AFFAIRS OF THE FREEDMEN'S
SAVINGS BANK.
From the Cincinnati CONNER

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-There is a
probability that an investigation into
the affairs of the Freedmen's Savings
Bank viii soon be moved IN the House.
The concern was chartered in 1865. and
has a branch IN nearly every town of
importance in the South. The money
collected at these branches is sent here
for investment, and the amount thus
gathered is estimated at from three to
four million dollars. By the terms
Of the charter two-thirds of the
receipts were directed TO be put
into United States bonds. In 1867
the law was amended so as to
permit leaning on real estate secured
by mortgage. the value of the real es-
tate security to be worth twice the
amount of the loan. The amendment,
it is supposed. was in the interests of
the District Ring, then in its incipien-
cy. Under the law granting the char
ter, 10 reports are provided for, nor is
there any satisfactory way of getting a
clear showing of the condition of the
institution, the law merely providing
that Congress shall have the right to
inspect, which has never yet been done.
The officers of the bank have grown
suddenly wealthy. it is said, and alto
gether there seems to be q fair field for
inquiry. No ike concern ever yet has
had 50 good anopportunity for defraud-
ing, and if it has neglected the chance,
the development of the fact viii be a
refreshing irelief to the monotonOus
thievery of the day.
THE Nelg HaUeH Courier begs Con-
gress to strangle the jobs. One or two
things is certain: If Congress does
not strangle the jobs they Will strangle
Congress. Already the rope of fate is
twined about It's neck and the people
are getting ready TO pull.-MeDphis

THE Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Commercial writes,
Jan. 10:
Southern Representatives are agi-
tating the question of an appropriation
of 81, 900, 900 for the improvement of
the Tennessee river. They assert that
with this amount the river can be made
navigable from its mouth up to Knox
Vile, and that the improvement will be
permanent. The chances of receiving
such an appropriation, however, are
thought to be unfavorable."

From the Knoxville Chronicle.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The opposi-
ton to Cushing's confrmationis strong
and increasing. The New York jour-
mails, except the Herald, criticise the
nomination. The Times and Tribune
oppose his confirmation. Unless the
feeling changes, his confirmation is un-
certain. Senator Brownlow opposes
him on account of his secession sympa-
thies. Cushing's friends claim that he
was war man and that be believes IN
the fnality of reconstruction.

THE COMETS ORBIT.
Chicago Tribune.

Prof. Tietjen, OF Berlin, and DIR.
Schulhof, OF Vienna, have been at
work upon the calculation of the
orbit of Coggia's comet, and arriv-
ed at widely different conclusions.
According to the first the comet
will return in S,965 years; the sec
Ond gives it's period at IL, lSi years.
Ii Is useless TO ask "Who shall de-
eide when doctors disagree ?" but
tho ordinary mortal may well be
pardoned IL he wishes that one or
the other of these two saVants had
Oct the problem alone, and so al
lowed our faith in the accuracy of
mathematics to remain mistaken.
For all ordinary purposes one OF
these periods would have suited
Just as we'll as the other; but both
together are simply manageable
Why did they do 1t? 1t really
shows that both of these gentlemen
have calculated from insufficient
data. Il was stated in the Tribune
several weeks ago that we mus
wait for reports of observation
made In the southern hemisphere
before We can calculate the orbit
The whole path to that portion
which the comet traYersed Will,
visible to us was about as q circle
one mile in diameter would be to
single yard OF its circumference
aud the best astronomers can NJ
more calculate the orbit of tn,
comet correctly from the northern
observation than an ordinary me
chanic could find the centre of tn
circle from measuring the curva
lures of the above named segment

'rHH ACRER vs.. THE
SOUTHWEsT.

On the outside of this issue may
be found a statement by Mr..
Thatcher, which We copy from the
Lawrence Journal. Two or three
newspapers of the State endorse
it. AS a specimen of the other
side, we copy the following, which
is also endorsed by sundry wit
nesses. And having given the
evidence, we respectfully dismiss
the question.
How NORTON WAS "CoUNTED our"
Professor II. B. Norton, of Cow
ley county, was q candidate for
State Superintendent of Public In
struction before the Republican
convention. He was fairly nom
mated by the convention, but was
beaten out of it by unjust, unfair
and arbitrary rulings of the chair
man of the convention, and by the
jumbled up condition of the tally
list kept by the assistant secretary.
We stood at the secretary's desk
during the time the roll was called
and noted each vote as it was put
down and kept a strict account of
all the changes, and we are willing
to make oath that when the result
was footed up Norton had a ma
jority of all votes in the conVen-
ton. But unfortunately for Nor
ton, Pangborn, of the Kansas City
Times, got possession of the tally
sheet before it was handed to the
chairman of the convention, and
Norton was beaten.
In behalf of Mr.. Norton and his
friends, we asked for a new vote
and it was refused by the chair.
We demanded that justice should
be done to Mr.. Norton, but the
chairman was deaf to our call.
We insisted on an appeal from the
decision of the chair, but the chair
refused to grant it.
The secretary of the convention
knew that Professor Norton was
fairly nominated; the chairman of
the convention, I. Dwight Thach-
er knew it; also, Pangborn, of the
Kansas City STimes knew it, and
admits it in his paper; Capt. Moh-
or, of Salina, knew it, as did a
of the convention, yet
General Fraser's name stands on
the ticket as the nominee of the
party as State Superintendent of
Pahlic Instruction
We protest against such a bold
and infamous fraud. Such pro-
ceedings are a disgrace to the par
ty, burning disgrace to the peo-
pie of the State, and the leaders
and abettors should be repudiated
by the people of the entire State.
The leaders of the Republican
party may be sunk into everlasting
perditiOn, the party itself may be
blotted from the face of the earth,
and the glorious record of the
grand old party may be erased
from the minds of all men for time
and eternity, before we will silent
ly submit to such disgraceful pro-
ceedings. We claim that Profes-
sor Norton was the nominee of
that convention and we insist up
on our right to say so, regardless
OF the opinion of others.-W. v.

orderly and unmanageable boys
may be kept apart until sense OF
pride and self-respect has rendered
them moro tractable.
In Buffalo, in 1873, there were 81
211 pupils attending the public
schools. Outside the public school
organization there arc fifty-four
schools in all, In which the registra-
ton of pupils amounted to 1I,O64.
This is encouraging, although it is
thought that there are over 10000
in the school population of the city.
The compulsory education law
comes in here.
This is the excellent advice of the
Boston Journal to teachers: "Make
| haste slowly. There should be no
undue stimulus, no croWding of in
tellects, no burdensome assignment
of lessons to compel arduous study
out of school hours. Let our teach
ers take lesson in their pet study,
philology, and remember that edu-
cation means q drawing out, and
not examining in"
1t is the opinion of the Boston
Courier that unpleasant and Hnnec-
essary force of any kind should new
er be engrafted upon any system of
education, and that, therefore, so far
as the civil rights bill makes the
black man the equal of the white
man in every political and humane
privilege, it is to be commended
when it goes beyond that, and in
terferes with the regulations of So
cial life, it is TO be repudiated.
The average number of children
attending the public schools of De- |
troit during the past year was S,2S5, |
out of a school population which,
according to the last census, amour
ted to 81 ,92G. The private schools,
however, enrolled nearly 5000. and
1000 more were engaged in learn
ing trades and working for wages. |
The actual cost for tuition for each |
pupil belonging to the public
schools during 1873 was $l0.65.
Fast Tennessee University ex-
poets to have between 200 and $50
students this term. The scarcity of
money in Middle and Western Ten
nessee, aggravated by the terrible
drouth which has prevailed in that
section throughout the summer,
will have the effect to detain at
homo a number of the students
who were at the University last
year, and prevent many new access
ions from the middle and western
divisions of the State.
It is the argument of the WASH
ington National Republican that the
civil rights bill as it passed the Sen
ate does not require mixed schools,
only declaring that the children of
black parents shall be afforded the
same facilities, in an educational
point of view, as the children of
white parents, and leaving to the
State the question as to the mode
and manner in which those facili-
ties shall be given, nothing more
and nothing less.
A writer in the American Educa-
tional Monthly advocates sturdily
the reading of newspapers in school
classes, with examination of pupils
as to their understanding of the
text. He notes that in his school
the reading of Tribune editorials
required an inquiry in-
to the nature of governmental adj
and phases of party
history foreign to the usual order of
thought in school life; and he con-
cludes that pupils should be taught
the kind of knowledge that would
enable them to read understand
ingly leading editorials of the
best newspapers.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.

Atlanta, Geo.. Sun, Sept. 4th.

Atlanta, Geo., Sun, Sept. 4th.
In a bitter struggle between the
two races, we find the power of the
United States cast upon the side
of the blacks against the whites.
The effect of the action of Presi-
dent Grant will probably be to
give the negroes another lease of
power, and to embolden them to
further insoleAce aud further ag-
gressions against the whites. With
the knowledge that grim line of
Federal bayonets stand behind
their backs, what deeds al oppres
sion may we not expect! What
tyranny must not the white people
of South Carolina, Alabama, and
Louisiaua be called upon to en-
dure? Endure! No! that is not
the word. AcquIesce in, rather,
until an hour and an opportunity
arrives. If it were not madness to
counsel resistance now, we would
call upon the white men of the
three States named to resist to the
death rather than submit to an
other period of negro and carpet
bag rule. But the time is not yet,
and all they can do is to acqui-
esce. If there is any justice in
God, our day and our opportunity
scfH come. Patience! This &C
cursed radical government cannot
last always. If it is to last. the
same saoOTd SohOSe unSheathing
brought our present troubles upon
Us, will yet put an end to the, in
the terrorism, and the
despotism of which our people are
the victims to-day.
