WASHINGTON, july Whether Avery
has been pardoned or not has been the
conundrum here for the past two days.
Secretary Taft said yesterday that if
he had he knew nothing about it, and
no papers haye been filed in the State

the matter is, according to Grants state

has not yet been pardoned, but will be

Mckee will also be pardoned at the same
time. His attorney has been here for q

when he made this criticism upon the
Presidents letter that the Executive had
access through the Department of Justice
to nearly all the details of the horrible
massacres and assassinstions which the

ards report consists chiefly of an argument
in favor of State Rights and in opposition
to the powers of the Congress to inquire
into elections in States, with quotations
from the testimony of men learned In the
law, in theology, and who hold high posi-
tions in the Church in the State of Mlssis-
sippi. He pooh pools the evidence OF COL
ored people as unworthy Of credit because
of their ignorance. 1t is the same old
story of apology for "our people, the
whites, who have been oppressed by the
Federal Government until "their young
men" have arisen to wreak bloody ven
geance upon the poor negroes. 1t seeks to
palliate or deny their crimes and extols
the present Democratic government of the
State. AS we have said before, casual
reading of the report convinces us that 1t
is a document to which the Senator from
Delaware should blush to affix his name.

tanned at the State capital. and If the Re-
publican is made what its name and pros
pectus would indicate we have little doubt
that it will command support. The white
people of Virginia must sooner or later
come to reflect upon the future of their
State. We have thought that they would
do so in this generation, but this daily grows
more faint. They do not appear to con-
slider, or feel willing to consider. that
good, we'll organized and effective system of
intelligent labor is more important to their
material interests than the political control
of the State government Labor, to be
intelligent, must be educated. The neces-
sary rudIments Of such education are most
cheaply obtained in the common schools.
These, therefore, should be cherished to
the extent of guaranty to every child in
the Commonwealth a knowledge of read
ing, writing and arithmetic. Beyond this
the common schools need Rot go at pres
emit. These fundamental branches given,
the studious will gradually acquire, by read
ing and house studies, what else is neces-
sary. The modern newspaper is hence
forth to be the great educator of the masses
beyond these rudiments. The daily jour-
nal, read in company with maps and
globes, is, perhaps, the best geography OF
the day. 1t contains an epltome OF the
worlds news, and if thoughtfully exam
ined around the evening fireside, in consul
tation with good map of the world, the
reader making reference upon the latter to
each locality named in its kilograms and
fixing them In his memory as we'll as the
routes by which they are accessible, even
if the map is only that found in the ordl'
nary railway guide, the result will be in
very few years a better knowledge Of
modern geography than could possibly be
obtained from the usual course pursued in
schools with common school geography.
The foregoing is only one illustration o.
the adaptation of the modern journal to
single feature of the future educational sys
tenn of the country, and especially the
Southern portion of it, where schools are
scarce and the laborlng classes are poorer
than in other sections. 1t will apply with
| equal force to other studies, as the follower
if not the companion of rudimental schools
everywhere The journal with maps ant
dictionaries as adjuncts, aided by constan
application during leisure hours, may form
the basis of sound intelligence, if guided
by enforced thought and discreet reflection
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that the poo
Republicans of the South will not be dis
couraged if their schools are broken down
and destroyed by a ruthless and short
sighted Democracy, but that they will
cherish and support all the Republican
journals that may be started in their vicini
ty and wisely conducted. Let each family
be inspired with an ambition to learn t.
read and write, and to subscribe to weekly
or daily journal. Their next savings should
be devoted to the purchase of Bible,
dictionary and map.

''kitchen Cabinet as they say,is composed
mainly and almost solely of Boss Shep-

herd seldom visits the Executive Mansion,
and that during the period when the ter
ribly overwhelming and overlooking con-
spiracies with which he stands charged
were connected and executed he was not a
visitor there at all, nor did he meet the
President, either socially or officially, for
several months. 1t is not to be wondered
at however, that the Opposition press
should assume to abuse both the President
and Ex-Governor Shepherd, on the assump,
ton that they are intimates because it is
well known that they are each true, gallant

BLUFoRD WILSON has testified that
President Grant dismissed H anderson, the
associate prosecuting attorney in the St.
Louis whisky fraud cases. This assertion,
like all the rest made by Wilson regarding
the Administration, is untrue. The truth
is that every member of the Cabinet in
GLIDING Secretary Bristow, agreed that
Henderson should be removed after he had
assailed the President, and the order for
his removal was not the result of any per-
sonal action on the part of General Grant
In other words, it was the result of the de-
