GheGatelIiaeneer,
How TO Prevent VngrauCy Among
the Rising Generation.

AppropoS to the question that we have
been discussing in these columS Of late,
viz the question OF pauperiSm and vug.
taucy, comes the question Of compulsory
education-a subject that is at this time
receiving an unusual amount Of attention
At the hands Of the press and OF those in
authority. We observe that Governor
Hartruntt, Of Pennsylvania, discusses the
question carefully in his late message to
the Legislature, and presents the case in
a strong light as regards the duty OF the
State, in case OF the neglect Of the parent,
to compel the attendance Of children at
school. He shows that ignorance has an
intimate relation to paupcrism and crime,
by statistics that cannot be questioned.
Eighty per cent OF all the crime com.
mitted u chargGablO to those who cannot
read or write, while the statistics Of pau.
pcrism show that the illiteFate md ig.
norant crowd our poor houses, and that
very small proportion Of the inmates
have had any educational advantages
But there is even a higher reason than
this, in the admitted fact that education
is the nursery Of the good citizen, and in
government controlled by universal
suffrage, it is all important that suffrage
should be regulated by intelligence, 1t
ism! probable that we will have an edu-
cational test, excluding the ignorant from
the right to vote, hence the greater ncces.
sity that they should be educated to the
moderate standard that will enable them
to discharge their duties uS citizens with
some degree Of discrimination and intel.
ligencc.
1t Is believed from the bcst sources Of
information that there are now in the
State Of Pennsylvania not less than 3jO,-
900 persons above ten years Of age who
are unable to rend or write, Of which from
10000 to 100000 are under the age Of 81
and over 10 years, and are growing up vir-
tually ignorant. We have no statistics
at hand to show the number Of persons
in West Virginia between the snmc ages
who can neither read nor write, but in
the nature Of things we expect that the
proportion Is larger thNn in Pennsyl.
yania. These uneducated people furnish
eighty per cent Of the criminals who prey
upon society. They furnish perhaps an
equal II not greater per cent Of the pau
pers that burden society with their sup
port. The great question is therefore
how to compel the education Of the
young.
Our Legislature il now in session, and
this is u fitting time to call attention to
this oil important subject. The states
on either side Of US are giving the matter
their serious consideration, and the State
Of New York has just pu! in force a com.
pulsory law The tendency Of tue timtB
|, to deal with the problems that concern
the well being Of society in such way US
to get at the root Of evils that threaten
US. And now that statistics show that no
large a proportion Of criminals and patti
psrs come from those who are without
education, 1t becomes a matter Of pressing
moment to 80 extend tho benefits Of the
common schools Ns to include far larger
number Of children than now attend
them.

Tare OH Louisiana Sugar.
A WESTERN OPINION OF 1T.

The following letter was received yesier-
day by prominent merchant Of this city from
a firm Of high standing in CncinnaIi, largely
engaged in dealing in Louisiana sugars. We
publish it by request:
The planter may argue that it is a loss @
him. We argue that it will he gain to the
planter, as he would rather pay more for
sugar aud get II per cent tare.
We want uniform tare, which is II per
cent all over the United States, except New
Orleans
All foreign sugars imported to the United
States pay Il duty as you are aware, while
Louisiana sugar is free. Yet foreign sugars is
y per cent tare Now that Louisiana sugar
pays no duty, is i, not right that tare should
be same as foreign sugar!
We Of lie West are disposed to stand by
the Louisiana planter by favurin2 high tariff
on foreign sugar, bat we want the planter L.
! give rs same tare as iOreign sugar If they
do no, yreli this small point they, must not
| feel sore should the West rise up in favor Of
| free trade in sugar.
| We trust that your Chamber Of Commerce
| planters and factors may adopt the recon-
mendaiion of your committee, aud TINS give
us n UNIFORM tafe. We learn that Pi,tsburg
Chicago 81. Louis and Louisville bav'
pledged, ike Cincinnati, TO buy only at twelv

The sun sets on some retired
meadow, where no house is visible,
with all the glory and splendor that
it avisbes on the cities, and perchance,
as it has never set before-where there
is but solitary marsh hawk to have
his wings gilded by it, or only a
musqush looks out from his cabin,
and there is only some little black
veined brook in the midst of the
marsh, just beginning to meander,
winding slowly round decaying
stump. We walked in so pure and
bright a light, gliding the withered
grass and leaves, so softly and serene

awakening light, as warm and sercn
