During the past year a trifie over
seven millions OF acres Of public land
were dispo-ed of by the Government
About half Of il went TO railroad
corporat;onsi In fuIfiilment Of pledges
long since made by Congress. Two
millions more went to homestead set
tiers. About two hundred thousand
acres were donated 10 educational
purposes, three-fourths Of 1t being
certified for common schools.
Taken In the aggregate, tho United
States has contributed, besides lands

one hundred millions acres 10 pro-
mote popular education In the coun-
try. The credit of all this, ~ OF the
homestead policy, belongs TO the Re
publican party. When the Denioc-
racy went out OF Office the public
school system was unknown inmaEy
OF the States. and almost unrecOgniz-

eminent. Six States In which there
were no public schools then, now
provide for compulsory attendance
in their constitutions, thanks to Re-
publican influences, namely, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Sew
erai other States have laws similar
in effect to that constitutional re-
quirement.
The educational recommendations
OF President Grant in his recent fnes-

EDITOR RErUELICAS:
The kindly notice of me in your valuable
columns this morning by Rev. Mr. Hunt
demands of me brief response.
have for few days been in your city
during which l have made the acquaint-
ance of many persons whose friendship and
kindness to me ehall be gratefully remem-
bered. By the action of the late General
Conference was elected to the editorship
of the Southeastern Christian Adrocate, and
my present visit to this city is in connection
with that matter.
The authorities of the church, represented
by Mr.. Philips, of New York, and whom I
met in this city, having determined not to
assume control of the paper until the first
of next year, the paper will be edited and
published by the same parties as hereto
fore, until that time. At that time, all the
friends Of the enterprise urge me to occupy
my position in connection with the Ad-
rocate, but financial difficulties render it
doubtful whether l shall do so. But let
this be as il may; the Methodist Episcopal
Church has nobly sustained herself in her
profession of friendship to the people of my
race and earnest desire to elevate and bless
them. Ii. Il. RENELS.

The President and Southern Politics.

The Associated Press reports yesterday
contained part of an article said to have
appeared in the Washington National Re
publican on the subject OF President Grants
position on Southern politics. An inquiry
by telegraph resulted in confirmation of
the report and the production of the whole
of the article referred to. The following is
substantially copy:
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE PRESIDENT 8
NAME IN SOUTHERN POLITICS.
The President is said to be very much an
noyed by the efforts Of certain of his Off
Gals to make it appear that he is using his
position to influence the nomination of GER
tain persons for State officers in Southern
States. This is notably the case in South
Carolina and Louisiana. In the first in
stance the federal officials are trying to de-
feat the nOminatiCn of Governor Chamber
lain by representations that the President
is opposed TO it, and in Louisiana the mar
shall, acting in concert with Governor kel-
logg, is pretending that they represent the
Presidents wishes. These efforts have gone
grant protection under the law to the South
ern people unless certain candidates said
to be named by him are nominated,
as if the President would do his duty
more zealously # his personal likes are
gratitied, or lees so because some one not
personally liked by him should be nomi-
mated. A mem Der of the Cabinet expressed
himself with much bitterness yesterday be.
cause of the action OF officials who, by uis-
representing the President, have provoked
complaints by gentlemen in the States of
South Carolina and Louisiana who are
high in the estimation of the Republicans
Of their States, and who are or whose
friends are, candidates. We are assured
the President has the success OF the party
only at hear, ard desires the Republicans
Of the variou. Southern States to put for
ward the men most likely 10 be successful
in the coming contest Whoever is nOmi-

A correspondent writes as follows from
Athens, his letter being dated April 26:
Our precious King departed four days
ago, and every day since, as we'll as man
before, some assault or road robbery has
taken place in and around Athens. Some
effort was made to prevent his going just
now, and he was entreated as uselessly to
leave at least the heir, bright child of
eight years, as some pledge OIL hardly
know what-return perhaps. That is an
nounced for August, but not expected until
October, when the Emperor OF Brazil is
coming here.

been assaulting and robbiDg people all
round-even in Athens-but actually
carrying goods out of the shops unmo-

people stopped at night, collared and
consigned their assailants to the police,
who showed their opinion of such tsctless
zeal by releasing the culprits next day.

BRIEF MENTION Mr.. Henry z.
Osborne leaves this city for Philadelphia,
he being delegate to the International
Typographical Union to be held on the
third of July. The Typographical Union of
New Orleans recently :elected Mr.. Osborne
its delegate, and it is hoped that the fra.
ternity from all parts of the country will
treat him tenderiy.
The statement published in last evenings
papers, that Mr.. William Condor died in
the Charity Hospital yesterday, was incor-
rect. He is not only living, butt is likely to
come out all right.
There was only one arrest in the first po-
lice precinct yesterday during daylight.
The signal service report for the weather
record of last Monday shows that several
cities far north of this point reveled in q
much hotter temperature than We did. New
Orleans thermometers have not seen 80
this summer, as Pittsburg has.
All parties who have had vases stolen
from churches in the city lately are re-
auested' to call upon Captain l.. Malone,
chief of detectives, at police headquarterf,
and identity their property to-day between
ten and eleven o'clock.
Two items published in the REPUBLICAN
Yesterday, taken from country exchanges
detail particulars of two valuable lives lost'
both men having been engaged IN ceer
hunting. Although this is no argument
against that kind of amusement this time
Of wear, it proves that had the victims paid
a little attention to the common dictates OF
humanity. they would now be in the land
of the living. Hunting deer in the month
of June is, at the best, unproftable.
Scarcely day passes that boys are not
arrested for hanging on street cars, yet
Youthful America deies drivers as freely
as ever.
Chris. says it is not true that one Of the
steam fire engines failed to win the cham
MON horns last Sunday because it threw

Late Monday night stable partly hiied
with hay, owned by Mrs. Zeller, Carrollton,
was destroyed by fire.
An unoccupied frame house, corner :

stroyed by fire yesterday morning.
It appears that Frank S. Torrey, the
Texan who suddenly died in the City Hotel
