CARPET 1AGaEHS.

While the leaders as journals OF
the Democratic party are loud il
their denunciation of carpet bag
gers, it may be we'll to note the fact,
that every State, with the eXcep-
ton of North Carolina and YER
mont, had its carpet baggers in the
43d Congress. In the Senate there
were SO native, and 81 carpet bag
gers, or Senators born outside Of
the States they represented. In
the House there were 149 repre-
sentatives, natives, and 141 nom
natives or carpet baggers. In the
two Houses the political complexion
stood, native Republicans, III !;
non-native, 1870. Native Democrats,
6S; carpet-bag Democrats, 4S. In
the 43d Congress all the Senators
and representative Of the following
named States were carpet baggers {:
California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas,
Oregon, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ne
braska, Nevada, Texas, Wisconsin.
The old slave States had but fifty
three carpet baggers, while the
free States had l25. How supreme
ly ridiculous, in view Of these facts,
is the cry against carpet baggers
who landed upon Plymouth Rock
to those who led the vanguard OF
Western civilization ! to those who
have founded great States and
thanks to those who to-day have
planted themselves upon Southern
soil. Civil and religious liberty
flourish in the track of your earn
est carpet baggers,-Repabhc.

Want Of Preparatory Schools.

l. he Wants Oh our sCuOOlS duu Inc
defects in the already established
system of public instruction are
becoming apparent, and each year
the legislature makes new provisions
for the advancement of education
throughout the entire State. Our
common or district schools are
probably as well provided for as it
is possible for them to be, in a new
country, and though still sadly i'm
perfect, their elevation seems to lie
III the slow but gradual progress in
wealth ana culture of the people
who support them. OF colleges
there are enough, and a University
designed to be the center of higher
education in the State.
For these and for common schools
all the direct provision has been
made that is possible at present ;
but between them is a wide gap
that cuts our universities and col
leges off from the lower institutions
of learning. After a student has
gone through the best Of our dis
trict schools, three years of hard
study separates him from the lowest
class in college. For these three
years Of preparation for college,
there are no facilities. The student
is obliged at the end of his common
school days, either to abandon the
hope Of higher education, or to
go a long distance from home to an
high school or academy, and that too
at great expense. Most colleges
throughout the west, in default of
high schools to prepare students for
them, are obliged to attach to them
selves preparatory schools, which
tend to drag down their own stand
ing, and also furnish preparatory
education at an immense cost.
fourhtths of those who go from
our cities to seek college education,
spend from two to three years, and
from six hundred to thousand
dollars before they enter college,,
which time might be spent in high
schools at home, and the money
saved entirely. This too, is gener-
ally period when the character of
the student is forming, and when
home and paternal influence are
most needed The State feeling the
need of institutions n little higher
than our district schools, has estab.
llshcd q system of normal schools
for the preparation of teachers, but
these are neither designed rs pre-
paratory to college nor for a bust
ness education, and are therefore
unfit to fill the place of academies
and high schools,
Every CITY needs n prcnoroto,,,

The Madison DemOcrm says ::
al. H. Gray was for two terms, or
for six years, regent Of the State
University, and was not reapponted
to that position, because OF the pro-
test Of the President of the Uni
versity, majority of its faculty, a
large number Of the influential
graduates Of the institution, and
also because Of the remonstrance of
several hundred prominent citizens
Of the State. For this action Of the
Executive, Mr.. Gray has become
satisfied that the Governor is I'M
fitted for the position"
1t is sufficiently well known that
a certain professor Of the Univer-
sity for long time aspired to be-
come its President, and several
times his satellites sought to circu-
late a petition to that effect. \
great barrier to his election was
found in the influence of II. II.
Gray, then regent. But true to
family ties, his relative, the "son-in-
law effected the removal of Mr..
Gray. The next meeting of the re-
gents resulted in the election Of
Boscom President, and then our
professor didn't like instructing
any longer, but resigned and went
into journalism. No wonder that
Gray is u "cheap politician"

An UGLY YIsIToR.-0n Saturday afternoon, about
the time the figate Repulse getting under way,
large fish was seen by the natives Of Waikiki rapid
ly approaching the bay. AS he neared the reef, he
cleared it with leap OF fully 2O0ieet aud skinned
over the shallow water inside, until he landed high
and dry on the sand beach, directly in front Of Mr..
J. W. Pfugers seaside cottage Here he was seized
by a native, who however, was unable to hold him,
aud the huge fish houndered about till be finally got
into the water. A crowd Of natives coralled him,
and the water near shore being too shallow TO allow
him to his fms TO any advantage they soon kill
ed him with an axe proved to be species of the
sword fish, measuring eight feet in length while bis
sword measures So inches. The latter may Ibe seen
10 our Office he appears to have been frightened
BY the Repulse, and shot like arrow through the
water and over the reef, with such extraordinary
speed that he could not stop till out of his native
element and high on the land. Those who wit
messed II say that II was a most exciting scene.
These sword fishes are very powerful. We re-
member Captain Stone telling Of an incident which
occurred while be was running the Brig Josephine
between this port and Jarvis Island about 1855.
TIE brig was an extraordinary saer and while going
at her full speed, ten miles an hour she was struck
directly under the stern counter with such shock
as TO lar the whole vessel and to awaken the Cap
tain out Of 3 sound sleep, who supposed that the
brig had struck whale or reef Immediately the
pumps were started, but there was no water IN the
hold. On returning to port the brig was hove out,
TO ud the cause of the shock; when near the stern
post, imbedded in the thick plank, the blade of a
sword fish was found fully twenty inches 10 length
To have bit the brig underline counter, the fish must
have been going in the direction as the vesse
and one may Imagine :he speed with which it moved
to have plunged its sword twenty inches throughlhe
plauking. 1t must have been going at the rate Of
twenty or twenty-five miles an hour, and evidently
intended to hit the brig, suppOsing it to have been
