1t is true as the Valley Virginlan asserts
m, "the Alexandria Gazette says that tue
radicals never established school 10 Vlrglola.
That is precisely what the Gazette does say.
And the Underwood Constitution presents no
contradiction of that assertion. Nd schools
were established uAder that Constitution. Be-
tore public schools could have been established
under that wicked instrument, the people OF
Virginia would have beeu obliged to vote to
disirauchse the gallant men who, with Lee aud
Jackson, had perIed their lives and fortunes
tor the Commonwealth. crime like such u
yote was impossible IL Virginia, 50 that az
matter of fact, the Underwood Constitution DOT
only did not establish, but would have forever
prevented the establishment Of tree schools 10
Vlrpipis. The Constitution urder which public
schools were established by the democratic ma
jority of the Stationary mouths before the
time which the Underwood Constitution had APP.
pointed for the establishment OF free schools
was the revised Constitution of tine committee
of nine,' which the Washington authorize;
agreed to accept in place of the Underwood ma
ligpity. We repeat, the Underwood radicals
said to Virginia, you shall uot have schools
unless you dis'ranchise your best citizens.
That's the way the radicals sought 10 establish
schools. The democrats have established both
tree men and free schools 10 Virginia.

The EMPEROR OF BRAZIL, after o flying
visit to Albany, dropped in upon Saratoga
yesterday, and in way which His Majesty
has made peculiarly his own managed to
see all that is to be seen of our famous
watering place in few hours The various
frank criticisms or hearty encomiums which
Dom Pedro has made en- portions of our
country and the work Of man therein,
which we have chronicled from day to day,
are of great value in our eyes. They are the
comments OF keen observer, who is sitting
our institutions for the good and bad in them,
with the important object of applying what
he thinks worthy to the development of the
great country he has been called upon to
rule for nearly half century and over which
his rule may extend for at least quarter Of a
century more. Leaving aside, therefore, the
pretty things His Majesty has found himself
able to say of what he has seen, it will be
worth noting how much of our secret of
progress he will extract from his journey
and apply to Brazil

A Newspaper Enterprise.

There is nothing gives the HERALD greater
pleasure than chronicling the happy journal
istic strokes of its contemporaries, because
apart from the advantage which journalism
in general gains from each, the HEaALp has
many debts of recognition to pay, and is
always glad to meet with q brother worthy
of word Of praise. The enterprise of the
Cincinnati Enquirer in printing daily during
the sessions of the Republican National Con-
vention special edition of the same days
NEW York HERALD is something never before
attempted or accomplished. The managers
of the Enquirer were aware that the presence
of great number of Eastern delegates and
their separate armies of friends and sympa-
thizers would create demand for the
HERALD which nothing else would satisfy.
To thousands Of Western and Southern re-
publicans who take the HERALD regularly
the opportunity to acquaint themselves with
its latest opinions would, they wisely fore
saw, be instantly grasped, SO that apart
from the attention which the novelty Of the
enterprise would attract there was large
field for making the undertaking profitable.
The selection of the HERALD from among its
Eastern contemporaries We take as graceful
testimony to independent metropolitan jour-
nalism, and hence our very modest share in
the enterprise was fulfilled with cheerfulness
and full appreciation of its complimentary
character. Such amenities mark a forward
step in journalism, and while paying de-
served tribute to the Enquirer we once more
make acknowledgment of the pride we
take in the HERALD's selection for this sue
cessful experiment.
