MIXED SCHOOLS. the Senate yesterd az
a vote was taken which incidentally involved
the mixed school, question that will not give
much encouragement to the more advanced
partisans Of equal rights" The bill granting
a portion of the Government land at St. Au-
justine. Florida, for the site of the Peabody
School was taken up. Mr.. Alcorn offered az
amendment providing that the ground should
revert to the United States if at any time pu-
pills should be denied admission on account Of
race or color. This amendment was defeated
by vote of ayes % noes 24-iDcluding Messrs
Morrill, Of VT, Ingalls,, Ferry Of Conn.,, Sprague
Cameron aud Gilbert
MIR. Alcorn said he would now feel con
strained to vote against the BILL This vote
was evidence that the Republicans in the Sen.
ate we're sadly dcmoralized on the subject of
civil rights The vote which had just been
taken could be construed 10 20 other way than
"a an intimatiop that if the trustees of this
school choose to do so, they might exclude COL
ured children from its benefits.
Mr.. Morrill,, of VT, did not think such COZ
straction would be justified, aud be hoped that
this institution, which was private Que, would
make no distinction.
The bill was then passed without division,
Mr. Alcorn voting in the Negative.

The Richmond correspondent Of the Peters

day 10 the Generyl Assembly was bold and
able speech 10 the House of Delegates by MIR.
Hud5ln, of Caroline county, in defence of the
Funding BILL aud those who passed it in 1871.
This speech was the more remarkable because,
heretofore, Notwithstanding the Unlimited de-
nuuciation and reproach heaped upon the bill
and those who voted for it, none Of its original
supporters have seen fit Of late to make any
reply.

ONE Of the ablest and safest Of the
commercial papers Of New York is the
Bulletin; it is, in matters financial and
commercial, as a sentinel on the watch
tower. Recently it had an article upon
the market for the next crops, which it
concludes with the statement that with
q continuance of the present fiattering
crop prospects the world over, the indi-
cations would seem to favor low prices
for the year to come, and this remark
does not apply to one staple, but to all"
The Bulletin bsses it calculations upon
three things: q decrease in home con-
sumption, a decrease in immigration,
the favorable news from Europe and the
fact that no war is now being carried on
in that country, to drag the producer
from his farm to the field.

We see no reference to the cost OF the
work beyond the Summit Ridge, and as
far as the railroad bridge over Bear creek.
II the $500, 600 alluded to above is the es-
innate for the northern division, ex-
tending from the Summit Ridge to the
Tennessee, and not merely for the part
lying north of the bridge, we have the
whole cost of the work estimated at
Sl,545, 600. The report Of the survey has
not yet been made public. The imper-
feet information we have Of the results
of the work ia from the Aberdeen En-
anliner, whose editor has had
an opportunity of hastily glanc-
ing over the field-Dotes Of Captain
Robinson. The Examiner COM
ments upon the survey as follows: "Of
course we do not pretend to say that
these obstacles are insurmountable-and
in fact the able engineer in charge has
proven that they may be surmounted
easily by q costly system OF locks and
dams-but we all know that work that
will involve the expenditure OF at least
two million of dollars is not likely to be
undertaken by the Federal government
until far greater necessity for the in
vestment exists than we can at present
show" We cannot except the conclu-

ing the waters of the Tennessee with the
waters Of Mobile bay would be cheap at
two millions Of dollars. The Erie canal,
connecting the waters Of the Hudson
river with the western lakes, has been
dirt cheap at an original cost in 1925 of
not less than $1,000, 600. The Chesapeake
and Ohio canal has already cost $ll $780,
OOO. The James river and Kanawha
canal has cost Sc, 000 900. Even
the Schuylkill coal and navi-
CATION canal, from Philadelphia to Mill
creek, cost Sl3 600, GOO. The canals con-
Meeting the waters of the Ohio with
those Of the lakes, and designed to bear
the same relation toward the lake cities
which our Tombigbee canal is designed
to bear to our gulf city, have cost far
more than it is possible for this project
of ours to cost. The Ohio canal, fron
Cleveland to Portsmouth, has cost $4,-
675, 600. The cost of the Wabash add
Erie canal has Sc, 100000. The Miami
and Erie canal cost 81, 454, 600. To say
that a canal connecting the waters OF
the Tennessee with those Of Mobile bay
is out Of the question on the score Of
cost OF two or three millions Of dollars,
is to utterly disregard the history OF the
great west and the unparalleled growth
of the cities which are at the terHliai Of
the canal routes.

TIE tales that are told regarding the
rapid spread of the potato-bug, suggest
that we have here, says the New York
Gas Light Journal q most excellent
opportunity, coming up just in the nick
of time, for testing suggestions that have
been made that the by-products, or nui-
sances, of the gas-house should be applied
TO the behoof Of the agricultural pOpula-
tiou-as well as all the rest Of us, in
reslity-in an iasecticidal way. This
course would result in making host Of
new and interested friends for the gas
interest, and would give it an actual
national Importance. In France, says
our contemporary, in connection with
the pest that attacked and so severely
crippled the vine, the great national sta
pie Of that Countrywide phyLlorerd, also
of American origin-this subject has not
been overlooked. During the year 1874,
very elaborate experiments were made
by one of the greatest French
chemists, Dumas, presumably I'M
der government authority, upon gas-tar
insecticides, and lCith great success; but
Prof. Dumas has chosen instead to COM
mend to his compstriots, as a weapon
against the phylloxera, a preparation Of
bisuIphide of carbon, known as SApho-
carbonate of potash. Whether such a
rep2ration-which must needs be a
product OF special manufscture-wOuld
be preferable to, even if (which we do
not believed somewhat more powerful
than the waste and now useless cOnstitu-
ents Of cosI-tsr, seems very questionable.
Whether it be so or not, let us by all
means know. Let us know how our
pretty Colorado lady-bug visitor, with
the yellow-striped dress, will thrive on
naphthAline, phenOl, aniline and the
other cosI-tar alkaloids. Who will make

ACCORDING to the Baltimore Sun the
export trade of that city has been,
during the past six months, fully sus-
tanned and the imports increased, not
withstanGing the stagnation in business
which has been severely felt throughout
the country, and the unusual Interrupt
ton to commerce from the ice embargo
last winter. There has been an increase
in the value OF the imports from foreign
countries for the first five months Of the
present year Of 81, sos, 493 compared with
the same period in 1874, the total value
for the five months OF 1875 being $l3,-
S67, 975. The value of the articles ex-
ported hence to foreigu countries for the
fiscal year, ended June 80, 1874, was
S27, 5lS, Ill, while for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1875, statistics officially
given to the twenty fourth instant show
the value to have been S37, 406, 32l, and
the exports from the twenty-fourth and
including June 80, 1875, will more than
make up the deficiency.
