Educate the Masses and aid
Civilization.

The safety OF States, depends
on the intelligence and virtue OF
the people; on these two centeral
principles, rest, the whole struc-
ture Of society. The most re-
nowncd nations Of antiquity,
boasted Of their powers and pro-
ess, through the mighty deve]ope-
ment Of intelligence among the
whole people, and the consequent
virtue, through that intelligence.
Al m2dgrn-Qatlons who stand
forward IN he progress in human
affairs pride themselves on the
continual progress, being made
through Educational meesur S,
It has been, and still Is: the
boast OF America, that they de
vote much time and means to tie
Education Of the masses, their
common school systems ale prov.
erbal. This APPLIES to the north
and west; the south prior to the
Wa had no common school sys-
tenn that deserved the name.
IRE result is, that, she has
now a vast hoard Of llliterates, OF
both races, who arc the most
ready material through which to
make paupers, thieves, Jail birds,
rowdies. blackgaurds, ruffians
assasians and foot pads.
he report Of The City Council
Of New York, on compulsory
education, gives the following
facts and statements, relative to
that subject:
1.-The American doctrine is, that
:Mo property Of tile Stato stall
educate tie children Of tue Stute."
This benefits equally the rich aud
the poor. It decreases crime,
reduces taxes. improves labor, IN
creases the value OF property, and
eleyates the whole community.
One of the first and decisive
questions asked in seeking a
permanent location for ones tam
lily is: What are the means pro
vided for education? A village,
town or State, with good free
schools, is the resort Of families;
acitA0ut them ii IS lie lone ofcrim
iNals.
In this city It costs more to
support police and police courts to
restrain and punish a few thou
sand criminals, nearly all Of whom
became such from want Of educa-
ton. than to educate our 100000
! children.

THE DANGEROUS POINT PASSED.

The House is kind enough to tell us exactly
what the decision of n Democratic caucus Is
worth on the finance question. 1T is worth 81
votes. Mr.. Payne moved yesterday to suspend
the rules and pass the so-callcd Resumption
bill agreed upon in the Democratic caucus,
and the result was 81 Yeas and 156 Nays
"not two-thirds in the affirmative" as the dis
patches mildly observe. As usual, when this
question is under consideration, there were
many absentecs and dodgers, but of those
voting nearly two-thirds were opposed to the
caucus bill.
This ought to put an end to financial fool
ing for this session. 1t ought to satisfy MI.
Willis ALSO who has introduced bill III some
respects excellent, but embracing the same
fatal provision for repeal of the act fixing the
day for resumption, that it would be well to
take his bill out of the way. The President,
according to dispatches from Washington yes
ter,lay, has bluntly stated that he will do just
what we have constantly predicted that he
would do, veto any bill which repeats the Re-
sumption act of 1875 or the essential parts
thereof. To suppose that he would fail to do
this was to suppose that he would wantonly
throw away the greatest claim his civil ad-
ministgation has made upon the public
gratitude With his declaration, and the
vote i'll the House, all chance of the repeal
of that act vanishes. The Independent mem
hers, whose fine opportunity to serve the coun-
Try and to distinguish themselves ought not to
be lost have no excuse for wasting more time
in fruitcss attempts to compromise with enc
mics of the public honor. If they will offer Il
simple, busness-like, end honest bill to provide
for resumption of specie payments at date
not later than that named in the act of 1879,
and press it to a decisive vote, they will at
least set themselves right on the record, and
may perhaps find that even in the House mem
bers are sufficiently disguised with the tricllery
of compromise to give it q majority.
