New-York tribune., 1875-02-13

The brief telegram few days since. announcing
the destruction bv fire of one of tho main halls of
Racine College, conveyed inadequate idea of the
disaster which has befallen that institution. At
five o'clock on the morning of the cOnfagration tho
thermometer was 15o below zero, and furious gale
was blowing. The flames broke out III the upper
part of the structure, and in brief half hour the
whole magnificent hall was blaze Officers, stu
dents, and domeslics fled for their lives, many
of them in night-dress and barefoot on the ice In
the extreme cold the water was frozen, and
the students and authorities were left helpless to
combat the flames a mere pittancc, therefore. of
what was in the building was saved. But the loss
of the hall itself and of the furniture which made
it habitable by the warden, the professors and the
students, is by all. The excellent library
of the college and the apparatus to illustrate the
lectures physics also entirely consumed. Nor
does the trouble end here. Racine has been in the
habit of educating large number of bencfciaries.
and. being unendowed it has depended for their
support on receipts from paying students who Occu-
pied the hall that Is destroyed. Unless
the latter students, therefore, can be re-
accommodated with the benefciaries
cannot longer be supported and taught. There was
an insurance of $4,000 the building but the loss
over this will exceed $4,000. We do not know what
action the trustees will now take but every we'll
wisher of liberal culture cannot but entertain the
hope that the alumni of Racine and other friends
will rally to repair the loss it has sustained
The representatives of the Pacific Mail bribery
and corruption Company are now raising the
pieous cry that TO withdraw from them the subsidy
for the purchase of which from Congress they
squandered million dollars, is an act of bad faith.
Before any more of tho newspapers show themselves
so jolly green TO support tins preposterous claim
it would be well for them to take tho pains to look
at the text Of the act. They will there find that
Congress to itself the power of terminating
the contract at any time it peases. There never
a more appropriate time than Immediately
after the discovery of the means by which the con-
tract was procured.
Acurious batch Of documents has been extensively
circulated in Pittsburgh land we presume in other
towns of the Ohio Valley, "by order of committee"

1t will be remembered that Gen. Sheridan
included Arkansas in his list of States over
run by the White League, and in which there
was reign of terror. Certain ex-Federal
soldiers residing in Little Rock denied the
charge and others confirmed it. Gov Garland
thereupoD called the attention of the State
courts to the matter, and urged thorough in
vestigatiOn of the allegations against the good
name of the State. This has proved very salts
factory way of dealing with outrage stories The
Grand Jury of Little Rock have given the sub
ject careful attention, and we now have their
report, showing that not one of the men who
supported Gen. Sheridan's statement was able
to give a single instance of intimidation or
political murder. AS to the White League,
the nearest approach made to finding it was
the discovery of man who belongs to the
Knights of Pythias a secret charitable order,
which has q membership of several hundred
thousands in the North, and of only few
thousands in the South. The publication of
this report is timely, in view of President
Grants message picturing the situation in
Arkansas in sanguinary colors.

The suspension of the Beecher trial yestef-
day for an extra day comes just at time
when the singularly skillful cross-examination
has raised public expectation to higher point
than it has reached at any previous period OF
the trial Whatever may be thought OF the
general results, there can be no doubt that
Mr. Evarts's success in introducing the "True
STORY" was one of the most adrOit and no.
ticeable pieces of work thus far Oh either side
of the case.

Cen de Cissey has given palpable hint to
the French Assembly that it can only adopt
constitutional scheme conforming to the Gov
enments ideas of prOpriety. Its tame submis-
sion now to the dictatOrial language of the
Ministry is in sharp contrast with the haste
with which it endeavored to vindicate It's dig
nifty during NJ. Thiers's term. Although the
Objectionable amendment to the Senate bill
was adopted, the Legitimists plainly permitted
this only to secure the final rejection of the
BILL Only one member appears to have pro-
tested against the course Of the Government.
However, the coalition between the Republi-
cans and the members of the Right Center
was broken without this interference. In the
end the Republicans will profit more than
their late associates, by the present state of
DISCRIMINATION, which points unerrngly to
speedy dissolution of the Assembly.

1t would be very unwise for the Home Rulers
in Ireland if they should carry out the
plan ascribed to them of withdrawing from
Parliament in case their demand for a repeal
of the Act of Union is rejected. There is not
the least doubt in the world of this rejection
If any such resolution has been adopted by
the Home Rulers, they have made up their
minds with perfect knowledge of this fact.
The injury which they arc likely to do to
their own cause is so clear that we are uu-
willing to believe the story.
New-York tribune., 1875-02-13

The action of the Senate yesterday in re-
fusng by vote of as to 2 to order Rail-
road Subsidy bill to a third reading indicated
pretty clearly that such schemes will find little
favor in that body during the present session
of Congress. The issue was well defined, Mr..
Sherman answering the urgent appeals of the
friends of the bill by the emphatic declaration
that while the present depleted condition OF
the Treasury continues, no time should be
wasted in the consideration of propositions for
building railroads with Government money.
1t is gratifying to hear from Mr.. Freling-
huysen that of the balf-dozen similar bills
before the Senate Committee on Railroads not
one is likely TO be reported.
New-York tribune., 1875-02-13

The appointment finally of the New-York
members of the East River Bridge Directory
ought to be an assurance not only that the
mismanagement Of that great enterprise is to
end, but that work on it is to be speedily re-
sumed. 1t is of too vital importance to the
welfare of both Brooklyn and New-YOrk to
be permitted to remain in all unfinished state.
The towers are now nearly completed, and
the most difficult if not the most costly work
is practically finished. 1t has been done, it is
true, at heavy cost, but the abuses of the old
management have been largely remedied and
can hardly be revived while the public re-
mains as watchful and suspicious as at pres
ent. Some legislation is needful to raise ad-
ditOnal funds, but the Board, as now consti-
tuted, ought to command this and also funds
to continue the work promptly.
New-York tribune., 1875-02-13

A bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush. That, on the whole. seems to be the
Judgment of the President and Cabinet,
and of good many others, concerning the
propositions of the Pacific Railway Com
pany. Thus far the Government has
had nothing from them but success
full resistance TO every attempt to
get any thing. A voluntary offer now of half
to three-quarters of a million year is not
a thing which, in these tight times, it is easy
to refuse; and the prevailing impression seems
to be that, if the Company can be fairly COM
mitted to this much, the Government will
have better luck than has been hitherto ex-
pected.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY OCTOBER q 1878

we might contrast the society of an Ameri-
can or of Dutch State of Europe, and
contrast them with the idolatry and can
nibalism of Darfoor. We rely upon no
such analogies or contrasts. God, for His
own wise purposes, gave man knowledge
that he might determine between good
and evil Having given man intelligence,
he imposed upon him the responsibility Of
comprehending and obeying his law.
The anonymous writer in the Bulletin
doubts whether an enlightened man is as
well qualified as an ignorant man to de-
termine upon the laws which are to gov
ern him. This OCCURS to us as rather
Indifferent theology, since divine wisdom
would by leaving man in state of ig-
norance have increased his capacity to
determine the moral obligations of the
divine law.
This reasoning would certainly conflict
with the White Leaguers' objections to
the suffrage of the negroes. Educate
them, and, according to the anonymous
writer, they would be safer than if edu-
Gated.
1t IS, however, unnecessary to devote
space to confirm the almost unanimous
conviction Of oar people that the COM
mon school system is almost peculiar
and invaluable institution of this repub-
lie. A single sentence of the commuri-
cation intimates the only real dissent
from this system:
A large portion Of the people Of this coua-
try, aud especially Of Mis State, belieye that
any scholastic education, unless associated
with religious teaching, is an actual sin.
This portion of the people would evil
IDENTIFY agree that unless the common
schools can be committed to ecclesiastical
propagandism, they will be ''an actual
sim
Whether this sentiment be correct or
not, We infer from the following para
graph that both the anonymous writer
and these purists are disposed to fight
the common school system for the joint
reasons that it is an invasion of the sacred
rights of property and an ''actual sin."
1t forms no part of this discussion to con.
slider whether these views are we'll or ill
founded; it is sufficient that they exist, and
are adhered to with pertinacity as an essen
tial dogma of faith. In view of this fact, is
it just or expedient to exact taxes from a
large portion of a community, to be ex-
pended for purpose deemed by them to be
sinful, and in the benefits of which they
are thus debarred from participa,ins9 Are
there not evils, heart burnings and dissen-
siOns in store for us, the extent of which no
man can measure, if we continue any sys.
TEN of public education'
This is powerful combination, and the
Bulletin, whatever its ambition to be the
organ of the Democracy, seems neither
disposed to accept that of the enemies
of education, nor IF those who think it
San actual sin" that child should be
educated by any one except the priest OF
some religion or other.

A FRIEND IN NEED.

While st. Louis is triumphing in the
discovery of Texas, she seems to claim all
its productions as sort of property for
which there can be no competition, aud
any invasion of her territory would be a
ground of complaint upon her part.
So assured is St. Louis of this vested
interest that she has taken no steps to
express pecuniary sympathy with Texas
in her late terrible calamities. The mayor
OF the city responded to the cry for help
that there were no corporate funds SO
applicable, and turned it over to that
great Exchange which builds ships to run
to Liverpool and Brazil; that body made
similar response, and added, that from
all they could learn, Texas was better
able to help her unfortunate citizens than
st. Louis was. So st. Louis resumed
the pleasing duty of addressing circulars
to the planters and merchants of Texas,
and left to other cities the humane duty
of burying the dead and nourishing the
living unfortunates Of Texas.
New Orleans on the contrary obeyed
that impulse which gave aid to Texas in
her struggle for independence. We affirm
without contradiction and upon the testi-
mony of history that without the aid of
men, money and munitions furnished by
New Orleans Texas could not have fought
the fight of San Jacinto, nor attained her
position at that time among the nations
of the South. So when New. Orleans
learned through q similar circular ad-
dressed to the Mayor that Indianola had
been swept away, that very night-that
very moment a voluntary association of
her men and merchants came together
and said, "a boat leaves in the morning
for Indianola; we must send help to
those poor people. We will take the
responsibility and rely upon our
fellow-citizens to make good our en-
gagements. They telegraphed cor
respondent in Galveston to prepare for
shipment by the vessel then to be on
her way to Galveston an invoice of food
and raiment, to an amount not to exceed
three thousand dollars, and to draw on
responsible names given for the invoice.
The next day the city was canvassed,
every interest applied to responded gen.
erously, and the men who had pledged
the city for deed of mercv vaco;vod coc
tributions which, in few days, far ex-
ceeded the sum necessary to comply with
their engagement The supplies went
forward, and just when st. Louis decided
that Texas could take care of her own un-
fortunates, New Orleans had landed on
the devastated shores of Lavaca the spon-
taneous and instantaneous tribute of sym
pathy for misfortune.

President Grant spoke the sentiments
of millions Of loyal hearts when he told
the veterans of the army of the Cumber-
land, "We are not prepared to apologize
for the past. The ''era of good feeling
has been carried SO far by some tuft
hunters that declaration Of the kind
from the soldiers of the Union seems to
have been necessary.
