TIE FLOOD.
PARIS, June 25.-The damage to prop
erty and loss of life by the flood in the
river Garonne, is greater than previously
reported. At Toulouse the bodies of a
hundred persons who were drowned
were found in houses which were flooded,
but left standing. Many other people
persisted. and their bodies were carried
off in houses that were swept away.
The loss of life by the flood at Tou-
louise is appalling. At the st. Cyprien
quarters 2l5 bodies have already been
found. The violence of the storm frus-
trated ale forts to rescue the inmates of
the houses. and several men we're
drowned in the attempt. Twenty thou
sand persons are deprived of the means
of subsistence in Toulouse alone.

that parties from San Francisco have
purchased the Bahcock Smelling Works.
When they are started it is estimated
that the average daily work done will be

ing. Ore will be brought from the Shasta

IT Is ordinarily difficult task to adjust
equitably the proportion Of the profits of bu-
siness between the employer who has made Q
venture and hiss all to lose, and the employees
who can under no circumstances suffer loss,
who take no share in the ENTERPRISE, but who
sell their labor and ski. co whoever WIN pay
the most for 1t. In Washington, however, the
problem as TO the newspaper printing business
has been worked out by the typographical
Union, which has taken under It's
suspices newspaper, the Washington
Tribune. The best skin has been used
On its conduct, and the UAion-men cannot
complain Of It's business management. Now
the sum which the Tribune can afford to pay
its compositors gives the most reliable data for
determining what is the proportion ofthe profits
of the business of daily newspaper in this
district can justly be demanded by compositors.

THE MANIA FOR ExAeeRRAr1oS.

In olden times 1t was taken for granted
that journalists would not take the trouble
to print anything until 1t was q well ascer
tanned matter Of fact. Newspapers we're
then useful as well as influential. If q
mere rumor were deemed of sufficient i'm
poTtance to warrant publication, great care
was generally taken to characterize 1t as q
rumor requiring confirmation. But it was
the rule to defer the publication of doubt
full news until it could be verified And it
was q strict adherence to this rule which
gained for the newspapers Of some thirty
or forty years ago character for reliability
which passed almost for historical accu-
racy. In those days editors or writers
were held personally ss well as legally re-
sponsible for malicious and libsllous attacks
upon individual and official honor.
This kept the license Of the press within
bounds. H ~
That those days have passed away. no
one viii need to be reminded. The most
casual reader of the journals of to-day will
at once note the contrast. Sensation Is now
more eagerly sought than legitimate and
useful news. The more improbable abe
story the wider the field for display
and the more is the ingenuity Of the cor
or reporter taxed for its elabos
rate establishment into afrst-class sensa.
ton. 1t lasts for q day or week when in
the natural course 1t is superseded by some

THE OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS.

The summer vacation Is now almost con.
cluded, and on every hand the note of
preparation for the opening of the public
schools on the first of September is heard,
The great reputation established by the
June examinations for the high character
and efficiency of the Washington system of
common school education has very natu-
rally created a new and strong feeling on
the part Of parents and guardians to have
their children enjoy the benefits of it, and
for this reason alone all the available facili-
ties for the school room accommodation of
scholars will be taken up. Added to this,
however, is the yearly and natural increase
of school children, and this increase will
be quite sufficient in demonstration of the
fact that the increased capacity of our pub
lie schools is not commensurate with it.
This is lamentably the case with the colored
schools. There are to-day in the city fully
five thousand colored children between the
school ages of six and seventeen, for whom
no provision exists for their education.
Last year over eight hundred such apph-
cants were turned away from the John F.
Cook building, over five hundred from the
Sumner building, and over three hundred
from the Stevens, to say nothing of the
great number who would have made ap-
plication had 1t been Of any use. An I'M
graded colored school will be opened in
the Bolden Church, which will &C.
commodate some one hundred pupils,
and the trustees have released the
school building on Ninth near Q streets,
which has capacity for about three hun
dred, but this goes but little way in
meeting the increased demand. The very
spirit of learning is abroad in the land, and
the young feel more than ever before de-
sire to gain knowledge, and that economy
and that legislation which prevents the
fulfllment of this desire, is reprehensible
In every point of view. The white children
of the Second district are to suffer some.
what by the destruction of the Barrack
school building. This necessitates the
renting of accommodations for three
schools, but we believe arrangements,
partially satisfactory, have been made.
Extensive improvements have been made
in the John F. Cook building, and all of
the school buildings have been thoroughly
renovated and repaired, and pat in CON-
plete order for the reception of pupils, and
the teachers are all ready for the assump-
ton of their important work. As far as
we are informed, the only change made in
text books is the substitution of the
Franklin Reader blessing parents
will be thankful for. The first of Septem-
Der promises to be most suspicious day
for the school children Of this city, for be-
tween them and their parents, and their
teachers and the trustees, there seems to
be that oneness of wish and purpose, that
harmony of thought and action which
alone can insure the highest forms of salts
faction .

ALL the information received from the
'seat Of war" in Georgia is cumulative,
and shows that the idiots who originated
the story, and who continue to fabricate
confessions of the leaders," must have
very poor opinion of the intelligence Of the
newspaper reading public, or they would
make their lies less transparent. Every
word in explanation of the affair contained
in our special dispatches printed the day
following the &C. called outbreak, is now
more than verified by the letter Of the
correspondent (not Nordhof) of the New
York Herald, printed elsewhere. 1t should
be remembered that the Herald never
misses an opportunity to spread itself on q
sensation, and if there had been q ghost OF
chance for it in this affair, it would not
have been neglected. As it is, we must
take 1t for granted that the Georgia war"
is more transparent as fraud than the
Central Park wild beast story, or the
Herald would have taken to it as eagerly
as a hungry setter dog returns to his
vomit

THE New York Tribune has habit of
provoking controversies with such repre-
sentative Southern Democratic journals as
the Richmond Dispatch, and then dropping
them, when they lead to true exposition
Of the feelings and opinions of the Demo
cratic leaders of that section. If it were an
honest journal, honestly inclined to give
its readers the full benefit Of all the infor-
nation at its command regarding the polit-
ical situation, it would not, for example,
have concealed from them the following
rejoinder from the Dispatch to one of its
recent editorials but such course would
be an open violation of its determination to
prevent the publication of the truth regard
ing the Southern Democracy. Says the
Dispdtch:
ave are only saying that q Government
which can steal from its people billions of dol
lars worth of property upon the pretext that
the 'life of the nation is in peril can do any
thing that government which can by force
change what purports to be the organic law of
the Republic can do anything that if Con-
gress had the right to compel the Southern
States to ratify the 18th ,'14th and 18th articles
of amendment to the Federal Constitution, it
has right to compel all the States to ratifya
new one providing that the President shall
appoint all the members of Congress.
Ten years ago, before any reconstruction
measures were passed, we expressed the deci-
ded opinion that our form Of government was
a consolidated despotism, and we have had no
occasion to change our opinion"

THE exposure that Welsh, the self
styled Indian philanthropist has brought
upon himself regarding his wicked partici-
patton in the Cuban slave trade, will have
the effect to arouse a new interest in the
condition of affairs in that island. Presi-
dent Grant has repeatedly called attention
to this matter, and now through the agency
Of rstributive justice, Gas it WERE" his
recommendations that laws shall be en-
acted to prevent such participation by
American citizens, are made stronger
through the blHnders of the enemies of
the Administration. In other words, the
wickedness of Welsh, now made appa-
rent, will serve the purpose Of an argu-
ment in behalf of the passage of such
laws.

PARsoE BRowNLow is attempting to
compel the leaders of the Tennessee Dem
ocracy to take sides fer or against national
or State banks. Their natural inclination
is in favor Of State banks, because they be-
Ieve that everything savoIfng of govern
mental authority should issue from the
States; but they are afraid to disclose to
the people their desire for the application of
this theory to the circulating medium, be-
cause the latter have vivid recollection of
the days of worthless wildcat and red-dog
money. The Parson pursues them into
an uncomfortable corner with his srgu-
ments upon this subject, and is thereby
enabled to escape criticism, somewhat de-
served, regarding his financial theories, as
advanced from the floor Of the Senate.

So Hol That hearted philan-
thropist, and open letter writer, Mr.. Viii
liam Welsh, of Philadelphia, who assumes
to be so much interested in the condition
of the unprotected Indians, is a man who
loans money to the Cuban Shareholders,
and takes mortgages upon their slave pro-
perry as security. No wonder that he has
assailed President Grant and the Admins
tratien generally, for in several of his an
nual messages the President has entreated
Congress to enact laws to prohibit this ne
farious traffic in human flesh and blood.
There are other Christian" gentlemen in
the North, who, like Mr.. Welsh, have
been engaged in this business Of aiding
the shareholders Of Cuba to make war
against the Patriots on the Island, and to
prevent them from gaining their independ-
ence. In due time they will receive proper
attention; but meanwhile Mr.. Welsh
should hide his head in shame at the
exposure of his revolving crimes against
humanity and the very spirit of the age.
OF course, the New York World, and the
Democracy generally will defend aim.

EVEN the Hartford CoUrant (go-it,
blind Gush organ) finds fault with the Sec
Rotary of the Rockford agricultural Society
for inviting JEFF Davis to deliver an ad-
dress before that association. But 1t is
grieVed to believe that the protest of the
loyal press against the invitation will,
without doubt, be construed at the South
'tas an indication of the hollewness Of
''Northern protestations of good feeling
land desire for friendship" So intent Is
the CourGHt upon conciliating the favor of
all of our "erring" Southern brethren,
that it fails to perceive that the class Of
Southerners who are worthy of being con-
ciliated, viii join in the common denuncia-
ton of the policy Of honoring such trea-
sonable leaders as JEFF Davis, because they
still assume to be representatives Of thsir
section. We are rejoiced, however; that
its eyes have been partially opened to q
true conception Of affairs and that st has
had pluck enough TO denounce, ever 30
mildly, man who is, and always has
been, notorious for his hatred OF New
England. lift will look little deeper
into his letter declining the invitation, it
will discover that he still dreams Of d.. "a
vision, and of the possibility of combining
the West and the South against the North
and the East on sectional issues.

THE New York Herald declares the i'm
perative need ofthe Republican party to bea
"Southern policy" 1t has policy Of that
kind, based upon strict compliance with
the war amendments to the Constitution
and the reconstruction acts. It's object is
to secure equal rights and equal protection
in the exercise of those rights to every citi-
zen of the South, black or white, high or
low, Democrat or Republican. The
Democracy, aided by the treachery of a
few limp backed, milk-and- water, or crimi-
nally selfish and ambitious Republicans,
succeeded during the last session Of Con-
gress in preventing the rigid execution Of
this policy, but the party as a party is as
much devoted to its pledges to stand by it
as ever.

Rag MONEY principles are not palatable
in the South. The memory of bushels Of
blue backed worthless confederate notes
rise up as unpleasant reminders to the peo-
pie of an unfortunate past whenever the
shadow of suggestion in the direction of
free money and irredeemable currency is
made. They are beginning to understand
that the Republican party is the hard
money party, and when the time comes
will not fail to show due appreciation of
that understanding. In short they begin
to see that the Democrats who led them
into the war, are now engaged in forcing
upon them one of its most obnoxious re-
suits, the initiation of the circulating me-
dium

BEN. HILL, the great Georgia Demo
cratic leader, says there will be no peace
to this country until Rsdicalism is stamped
out. The practical effect ofthis declaration
is to be found in the recent so-called
"negro insurrection" in that State. The
colored Republicans attempted to hold q
meeting to organize for political purposes.
They were prevented from doing this,
and thus one sprout!ng demonstration Of
Radicalism was stamped out.
