IT seems evident, says the Washing
ingtOn Chronicle, that Hon. Sam
Cox, of New York, is coming forward
as the most formidable candidate for the
speakership of the house OF representa-
tives, snd his defeat last session by Mr..
Wood is claimed by his friends will
materially add TO his success. at will
be a novel sight, +" says our Radical con-
temporary, ''to see the smiling face of
the lively Sunset Cox beaming from
the speakers chair, as the emblem
of the restoration of the Democ-
rsey after eighteen years Of alb
sence from power" He is the old
est members in actual service, and on
entering on his new term will be the
only member left of the congress of
1856. He has been on the committee
on rules, has often been called upon to
preside, and on these, occasions showed
himself perfectly familiar with parlia-
mentary law. There has, we may add,
been no Democratic speaker Of the
house of representatives since the
thirty-fifth congress, which organized
in December, 1857, by the election Of
Hon. James L. Orr, of South Carolina.

TEE OHIO SCHOOLS.
DivIded-The answer Comes Than
dering from all Glasses, S NOr'

In an address delivered In Cincinnati
by Mr.. Benjamin e. Hopkins, on the
question, "Should the Common School
Fund be Dlvided?' he said: "WheTe
schools free scbools) have been estab-
lished, we see, as the statistics prove, a
general and very great advance in the
intelligence, virtue, integrity, and use
fulness OF the mass OF the people; while
in those districts where prejudice and
bigOtry have prevented their opening,
ignorance, superstition, vice and immo-
rality prevail in a greater degree. There
are stu some six millions of people in
the United States-nearly One-fourth of
the entire population-who cannot read
or write; q sufficient refutstiOn of the
argument that the different sects, or the
people in their private capacity, will
educate their neighbOTs or the peO-
pie. It is further claimed that the
different sects would educate their chill
dren as freely and better than our free
schools. But all history disproves the
assertions, and, as / have shown in my
hasty generalization, all sects, without
any exception, endeavOr to circumscribe
thought and action, suppress investiga-
ton, inquiry, and learning beyond GER
tain prescribed limits defined by their
particular creed; and, further, that q
sectarian education tends TO ALLEVIATE
people and separate man from his fell
tow-man. Our friends claim
that, as their consciences will not per-
NIT them to send their children to cur
Goddess schools, and, therefore, they are
compelled to educate them at their own
expense, they should not be compelled
to pay or be taxed for the support Of
schools to which they are opposed, and
which they will not uss. But 1 claim
that their demand, although plausible,
is not valid, for the free public schools
teach everything taught by their own
schools, except their religious dog
mas, which are proven to be
inimical to the safety OF the
liberties of the people, and which the
government ignores, knowing no reli-
giOn in a sectaTian sense.
AS has been truly stated by one Of our
ablest essayists, there is a race between
the two great rival christian sects for
supremacy and power. The one seeks
to accomplish its aim by forcing God,
Christ and the Bible into the constitu-
ton and public schools; the other seeks
for the same power through the destruc-
ton of the schools, RELOCATING the ma
ton back to a state of ignorance, an
archy and despair. Both must be re-
sisted. Sectarian schools circumscribe
thought and action, magnify differ
ences, and ALLEVIATE the affection of the
people. The free public schools en-
courage free thought, free education,
and a free people; harmonic differ
ences, teach the universal brotherhood
Of man, and unite closer, in the common
bond Of human sympathy, those Of
every nation, tongue and creed.

from the above extracts, seem to inn
agine that q spirit Of retaliation viii
cause Democrats to repeat the crimes Of
Republican msjorities by unseating
members regardless Of election returns;
that the President will be Impeached on
frivolous grounds; that the amendments
win be attacked, the public debt repudl-
eted, and everything done that can De
to convert the late war into ui-
umph for the Confederacy. The Demo-
cratic party never yet has attempted OF
proposed to deprive any voter OF SUI
rage, except as a punishment on con-
viction of crime. 1t has steadily OPP
posed all property or educational quail
and has uniformly struggled to
extend the right of suffrage. The en-
OF the emsncipated slaves
It opposed for reasons which have been
Iully justified by the result Of the ex-
pertinent. And while the negroes were
enfranchised for a partisan
purpose, there are to-day as many Re
Dublicans as Democrats in the United
States who believe that the meas
Ire was unwise, and has been produce
i've of much evil. But Democrats are
conscious that the damage is already |
lone; that the worst consequences are
,assed, and that time and education |
yill, under the auspices of an upright |
disarm negro suffrage OF all
'icious tendencies. 1t is guaranteed by
he Federal constitution; but if it were
lot, there is no State IN the Union which
would abolish 1t now. Those with q
mall negro element are not afraid of it,
nd would not abolish it; those with
arge negro population, like South Caro-
inas Mississippi and Louisiana, could
lot. The negro will not be disturbed in
ny.Of his rights by the Democratic par
Y, and he should not be foolish enough
o permit Radical demagogues to alarm
i'm into continued opposition to his
mployer, the white people of the south,
whose destiny is the same as their own.

At two o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the members of the Grand Lodge of Ten
nessee (Mssons), being about to close
their session Of this year, made their usual
annual visit to the Polk Place, for the
purpose of paying their respects to Mrs.
Ex-President Polk. They marched from
Masonic hall to Mrs. Folks in a boGy,
numbering about one hundred aud
twenty-five, and entered the grounds
from the Vine street front. The column
was headed by the retiring grand master
and the grand master elect.
After a general Introduction and
few minutes conversation, Mr.. Jas. d.
Richardson, the outgoing grand mas
ter, called the members together in the
main parIor and addressed Mrs. Polk on
behalf Of the grand lodge in few we'll
chosen remarks, in the course of which
he alluded with pride to the fact that
her distinguished husband was made a
Mason when quite young man, in the
lodge to which the speaker now be-
longed, Mount MOriah, at MurfreesOoro.
The Ex-President's love for the Masonic
fraternity, he said, was well know. In
closing he expressed the wish that Mrs
Polk might live to receive the visits of
the grand lodge for many years to come.
Morton B. Howell, Esq, mayor of
Nashville, on behalf of Mrs. Polk, re-
piled to the address of Mr.. Richardson
in few exceedingly felicitous remarks,
thanking the body in the most courte-
GUS manner, and closing with the wish
that the grand lodge would evermore be
under the guidance Of the Grand Archi-
tect Of the universe.
Mrs. Polk was aided in receiving her
guests by Mrs. Governor Brown, Misses
Julia and Waldine Putnam, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Fall, and others.
Before retiring from the grounds, the
members crowded around the tomb Of
the Ex-President, where there was an
interesting pause, after which they with
drew, having made visit which proved
highly agreeable to all present.

held at Masonic hall last night by the
grand lodge Of Tennessee, in memory OF
Past Grand Master Samuel M'Manus.
With the large body of Masons present,
the hail was crowded from the stage TO
the rear wall. Among the spectators
were many ladies. The ceremonies
were exceedingly impressive, and though
they lasted two hours, the utmost quiet
and attention prevailed.
The hall was fitted up and furnished
especially for the occasion, and presented
quite an altered appearance. Back of the
stage was a dark screen bearing the
square and compass, sUrmOunted by a
draped portrait Of the deceased master.
In the center of the hall was erected q
mausoleUm, appropriately decorated, and
with passage for marching around.
FestoOns of cedar spanned the hall en-
tirely around. AT the rear end of the
hall, and on the east side: were canOpies
erected for the senior grand warden and
junior grand warden respectively, and
these were surmOunted by portraits of
eminent members Of the order.
The ceremonies vera too lengthy and
intricate to ADMIT of g. detailed report,
and much Of the awe snd interest which
they inspired in the spectator would be
lost to the reader if fully chrOnicled.
They were conducted by the following
named officers: J. d. Richardson, Nj.
w. grand master; G. c.. COnnor, r. w.
deputy grand master; J. S. Dawson, r.
W. senior grand warden; John G.
Brown, z. w. junior grand warden;
Rev. NJ. B. Dewitt, r. w. grand chap
lain; r. L. c. White, w. senior grand
deacon; Ed. Worsham, w. junior grand
deacon: A. B. Jones, w. senior grand
steward; J. w. Judd, junior grand
steward; T. o. Norris, w. grand mar
shall; George Sieferle, w. grand tyler;
Thomas Fisher, Jacob Gingry, Samuel
Lambert, and J. S. Emerson, guards of
eatsfalque.
These were assisted by an excellent
choir Of male voices, and an organ
played Dy J. NJ. Thatcher. The music
formed a most interesting part of the
ceremonies.
All these exercises, occupying from
half-past seven to half-pas eight O'Clock,
having been finished, Grand Master

WORDS OF CHEER.

We print the following warm tribute to the
BULLETIN from lady friend, not as deserving
it, but to show how grateful our women are to
those who try to do their duty:
Five months ago the first sheet of the sturdy
little BULLETIN was unfured to the view OF
the down-trodden, broken hearted and des-
pairing people of New Orleans 1t came as a
clarion blast to announce to all that friend
was near For one month, sinele-handed
and alone, it fought the good fight against
oppression, tyranny, incapacity, and corrup-
ton, and when it had pioneered the way and
staked out the road, an immovably neu-
trail" journal fell into line
1t also has done great service for which will
it please accept our thanks But upon the
glorious little BULLETIN belongs the laurel
crown of victory; had it been in operation at
the beginning of our troubles, the Kellogg
usurpation would not have lasted one month.
Therefore I say let vote of thanks from our
pro alinent citizens be sent to the BULLETIN
for, although our sorrows appear to be ended,
still we do not know what may be in store for
us. The sky may darken, and the earth may
tremble with the measured tread of armed
battalions; then, fellow-citizens, then we need
the strong, brave and daring hand of the Bull
LET1N to point the way and lead us on to
VICTORY. $50

A NEW THEME FOB OFFENBAOH.

Since the lbretto of the "Grande Duchesse
de Gerolstein was written by Halevy and
Meilhac, for Offenbach, we are not aware
that more appropriate subject for
that witty musical tarceur's facile genius
has ever presented itself than the
late ludicrous collapse Of the Kellogg regime
in Louisiana All the elements Of frst-class
opera bufa are there Gen. Barber would make
an admirable General BO,ns-Bdron Gr0g would
find representatives innumerable among the
late de factos, and the frail and tickle Grand
Duchess would find first-class counterpart
in Kellogg with only a slight variation in
costume.
We are afraid Offenbach cannot be tele-
graphed in time to take hold Of the inspiring
theme, but our friends Leon Provost and
Momas. Of the Opera House, might possibly
be persuaded to undertake the task, in which
case we venture to say that the proper libretto
would be at once forthcoming. Ample oppor-
tunities for introducing those time-nonored
strains, "Tne Rogue's March," "Clear the
Kitchen" and other appropriate melodies
would be furnished, and Conspirator's
Chorus" equal to the celebrated one in s'Mad-
anne Angot. would also be very apropos. Let
our friends Nomas and Provost come to the
front at once, and give Us worthy American
rival of those world-renowned European bur

Among other gross misconceptions regard
ing our people which are being disseminated
abroad. is that which repre- ents the original
Union men OF this State as being favorable to
Kellogg and his Government. OF the eight

voted for Michael Hahn as Governor, all OF
the survivors but the few who hold Office are
