SPRINGS, w. Va, August 4,-The
Peabody trustees, in session here,
spent the entire day discussing DR..
Sears report of last years work. The
report shows a generally fiourishing
condition of the public schools in the
Southern States. except in Florida,
South Carolina and Louisiana. Mr..
Peabody Russell, of England, who
spent the last winter in the South, ex-
pressed the opinion that nothing could
be expected from those State in the
way of advancing their educational in
tarests until there was an entire change
in their State governments. The total
amount expended for last year was
500, ,150. Virginia received $20,050;
North Carolina, ,$8, 800; South Carolina,
$1,000; Georgia, $3.50; Florida, 3d.

800; Louisiana, $4,000, Texas, 1850;
Arkansas, So, 800; Tennessee, 814,6O0;
West Virginia, $l2, 900. West Virginia
and Tennessee have received larger
proportional amounts than any other
State, because they have made more
efforts to foster and promote public
school system. The amounts paid
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
are proportionately small because of
their failure to foster puDlic education.
The idea of the trustees is to help
those who help themselves. There
are, however, one million of children

be over one hundred thousand dollars

"CHEEKy''-It is somewhat cheeky
for the present Republican party to
perorate about the record of the
party" for it happens that the great
men that made that record have all
departed, leaving no successors. Not
only have the makers OF the record
persisted, as a rule, but while yet
alive many of them were read out of
the party by its present engineers.
Chief Justice Chase was read out of
the party. Mr.. Fessenden was read
out, because of his sense of personal
honor, Vice President Wilson, the
soldiers friend, was read out as an
insufficient wire-puller: Sumner was
read out because he foresaw with
prophetic eye all the evils that Grant
ism has brought upon the country;
Lyman Trumbull was read out for
loving his country better than his
party; Stanton rashly died in sheer
disgust; Sumner died, eviled from his
native state by a vote of centure on
the noblest act of his political career;
Greeley died of broken heart. These
made the record, The inheritors of
the record are Grant, Morton, Logan.

PUBLIC OPINION.

This appears in the Albany argus,
Fighting Joe Hooker has no trout BILE
about the war record. Nor has bold Gen:
Hancock. Nor have hosts of other war
veterans. They recognize the fact that
the war is over, and they are heartily
glad of it. These heroes enlisted for the
war, to put down secession; and they
were to do it. They have now enlisted
for the war to put down stealing; and
they will do that, too"
The Cleveland Plainedealer bring en-
couraging news: "In every neighbor-
hood can be found publicly identified
with democrats republicans who were
against us year ago, and the changes are
| all to as; not against us! The Demo-
cracy have carried Ohio twice within
three years, and now that they have ig-
nored minor differences on financial
questions stand united, and that is worth
thousands of votes.

refers to Grant: "The last project is TO

A branch of the family moved to Scituate,

mother was descended of VIM. Jones, Lieu

Col. John Jones, a regicide judge of Charles

The Governors father was farmer and
merchant, much esteemed for his Judgment
and strong common sense, and who was
an intimate and cherished friend of Pres

Gov. 1ilden entered Yale College when
he was eighteen years old, after at that early
age having written disquisition on the
effort to make u coalition between the
national republicans and the anti-Masons.
