That terrible 4'insurrection Of Republican
blacks in Georgia Is at an end The alleged
rineleader has been found 'Snot guilty by
4 Democratic jury, and most Of the prisoners
have been discharged We are glad to see
that the Georgia Democrats, after their first
scare, or pretended fright, acted in . sensible
way. JoHa RANDOLPH informed the Senate,
once upon time, that when the dre-beu rang
in Richmond, after dark, every mother
clasped hsr baby to her bosom and shud-
dered with fear Of being butchered by in
furiats slaves forthwith That time has
passed away with slayery. We shall prob
ably hear no mole Of negro Instructions

statement made during the tendency Of the
recent troubles that the real question under
lying the mere personal contest was between
narrow and bigoted theory Of education,
which should train nothing but Baptist min-
listers. and broad and catholic view of the
mission of the University as an arenain which
young men and women should receive such
training as would be beneficial to them in
other and practical pursuits as well. Every
true friend of sound and manly education will
wish the University Godspeed in its new and
noble work. It is now less necessary than it

insurance companies, business houses, and
manufactures, are those which have at their
head old and we1-tried men. One reason
that, during the long contest between the
North and the South for two genera
tions preceding the War, the South
nearly always gained the advantage
and carried her point, was that
she sent able men to Congress, and kept
them there, while the North was constantly
changing her representatives. Thus the
North opposed raw, inexperienced Legislators
to men Of training and skill What Chicago
needs in her educational enterprises is d
well~considered and continuous policy. There
must be a thorough understanding OF the
wants and Of the resources Of the city, in
this respect, and d knowledge Of what can
and what cannot be accomplished based on
the experience of years. We can afford no
rash experiments, no costly novelties, no rude
manipulations, and, above al, no corrupt SUBJ
ordination of the good Of the schools to the
plans of political schemers.- No new man,
even if well versed in the school affairs
of another State and city, could come to
Chicago and be well fitted for the post OF
Superintendent, under residence Of several
years during which period he would be
simply gaining the advantages Of information
and universal confidence which 4Ir. P1oKARD
now possesses.
We ought to take even wider outlook.
Something is due to teaching as profession,
to encourage:competent men to make 1t life
work. One difficulty with female teachers is that
commonly they resort to teaching as means
Of support until the fitting offer OF marriage
shall come. This is natural and una1terable
The difficulty with gentlemen is two-fold !:
insufficient salaries and insecurity Of position
The latter is much the more serious in de-
| terring well educated men from devoting Life
| to teaching. This must be met, or teaching
| will never rise to the dignity and value Of a
profession, will not attract to it the best
talent, and will not retain the richest e1-
perience. We must assure cultivated men Of
a permanent position, which shall give them
the comfort of certain support and fixed
home. To dismiss, then, such a man as Mr.
PICARD from such post as that Of Super
intendent of Schools in this metropolis, after
ten wears Of faithful and successful labor, Is
to strike fatal blow at the whole profession
of teaching Can we be unwise enough tc
do it7 We think it will exceed the power OF
Mayor CoLvN TO persuade the people oI
Chicago to consent to such deed. And
were it accomplished, foolish would be the
man who should leave position elsewhere tc
accent the uncertainty of Chicago Super

could be more absurd The substance that is
to serve as money must have value outside
and independent Of its use IS money. It
must be, not simply representative of val
ne, but value in itself. For its function, as
money, is to exchange for other commodi-
ties,-that is, for other values. How can

Every one admits that money of come sort

it found that it needed substance which was

to take this in exchange for it; (2) possessed

It contains large value in small space, 1t

If it cost as little labor to make gold dollar
as it does to make paper (so-caned) idol
lar, gold would lose this precious quality, and
some other substance would take it's place as
the worlds money.
Gold is infinitely divisible. 1t can be
reduoed to dust or to thin leaves, Nature
often so reduces it. And it loses no Value oy

thieves sometimes break through and steal it.
Strange that they should run the necessary
risk, if ."money" can be made By simply
printing tone dollar" on any number OF
pieces Of green paper.
Finally, gold is unvarying in value. The
average amount Of labor required to extract
an ounce OF it from the bowels Of the earth
does not change, and 30 the value o1
the ounce remains substantially The

TIE TRIBUNE has received and published q
host Of communications on the marriage
question, but as yet no workingman as
that term is commonly used-has appeared
as writer. It may be that the hand that is
used to the saw, the hammer, or the spade,
has natural reluctance to WELD the pen, but
this reluctance deprives the largest class Of
the community of good deal Of valuable
advice. Volumes on volumes have been
written on the marriage of workingmen,
from the day when the Rev. AA17Hus
called down upon himself the curses
of his co-religionists Of the Church Of En-
gland By publishing his famous hactate
against the supposed injunction Of the
Lord: "Increase md multiply" But these
volumes are practically inaccessible to the
workingman, who is the party most vitality
interested in the question. They are to be
found in every great library, to be sure,
but they are classed under the head OF
political economy, and are therefore care
fully Stunned The average man has
foolish idea that he cannot compre-
hend that science, even in its simplest
applications We know that work1ngmen
do marry Children-whom somebody has
called the coupons on the bonds of matrimony
swarm in the streets in which our artisans
live. But how do the artisans pay their mar
ital expenses If ADo1rHus, the clerk, who
writes to TEE TRIBUNE Of his mournfu lone
Gness, cannot afford to marry on 81, ECO q
year, how do DENNIS, the laborer, and JoHS,
In
and MARY and the young o1ive-branches on
their respective incomes of $3.50 and $3.50 q
wear? Perhaps part of the explanation is to
| be found in the not-infrequent fact that
| BRIDGET takes in washing and mending, and
MABx does anything that comes handy,
from sewing to school-teoching. The CON-
| mercial traveller with whom CHARLES DICK
| EMS dined at Brighton gave him the toast:
ss Ere's to woman, who divides our sorrows
and doubles our Joys" The common i'm
preston seems to be that woman divides the
money in cur pockets and doubles our e1-
penses. But this cannot be SO among work
| ingmen. As class, they spend larger per-
under which comprehensive term We class
picnics, beer, whisky, tobacco, church fairs,
etc.-than any other class Of the community.
Their incomes, too, vary greatly. They
are sometimes out of work for considerable
time Very few Of them put in 313 days q
labor every year. ThAn, too, when they do
work, their employers sometimes defraud
them Of their dues. If the interior history
Of the countless suits for mechanics Liens
could be written, it would tel many story
Of crying wrong. Under these circumstances
the workingman, even when single, saves little
or nothing. How, then, can he marry? How
can he hope for home Of his own, tende1
