EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

The education Of the colored people Of
the South is a matter of vast importance
not only to that race, but to the entire
country. If the Southern States all deal
fairly by the colored people, by giving them
reasonable educational advantages, such q
course will do much to maintain harmonious
relations between the North and the South.
We have no fears but that the South will
do justice TO this class of her citizens. As
they are now voters, selfprotection would
dictate to the statesmen Of that section that
efficient measures should be adopted to
educate them, so that they may be properly
qualified for the duties OF citizenship,
Many Northern journalists have expressed
great anxiety as to the fate Of the coloretl
race under the government Of WADE HAMP-
TON. An intention to deprive them of all
educational advantages has been frequently
charged against him. We have never had
any such fears, and we are, therefore,
pleased to find our views confirmed by a
recent report in the Springfield Mass.
Republican. A reporter OF that paper Wis
tied DR.. EDWARD Cook, New England
clergyman, who has for some years been in
charge of Clailin University at Orange
burg, South Carolina. The Republican says
Of DIR. Cook:
He is qnite enthusiastic In speaking Of Gov.
| WADE HANrToS's position toward the colorcd pco
pie, particularly as shown in his favorable attitude
toward their education. The school with which
Dr. Cook Is connected was established for the bene.

voting to II the national appropriation for agrcul

dents to the state University at Columbia, thereby
practically ruling out all white students and the

THE WAR is OVER.

Our Democratic friends in Montgomery
county have done themselves great credit and the
State q good service by nominating the Hon.
Montgomery Blair for the House of Delegates.
More than any public man in Maryland Mr. Blair
Is a statesman of national reputation. and while

OF vast Importance will be presented next

which was unanimously rendered him, Mr. Blair

harrassed In their persons and property and here
people, nominated for Office an ex-member of Mr.

THAT there Is no reform school here for girls
was forcibly recalled Saturday afternoon in the
Police Court clerks oficc on the occasion Of q
mother coming there to ascertain what legal steps
she would take to compel her daughter, only thr-
teen years of age, to cease from acting immorally
The result Of the interview she had with the clerk
was by no satisfactory to her, but It the
best possible to be afforded under the law, as II
stands at present. Beyond doubt there ought to be
reform school here for girls as there Is for boys
notwithstanding OLIVIA" still opposes the project
and believes In the iniallbllity OF her sex.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEW CORRECT.
From the Nashville American:

When most Republicans, who believe the
stories of butchery in the South desire application
OF the strong arm OF the Government Mr. Hayes
reflected that II had been laid heavily and long
all to no purposes. His statement OF the case Is
candid, manly aud truthful, except As to the ac-
count Of crime, which he, like all Republicans,
exaggcrates. There are az good men there as You
North or any where In the world" They
look on calmly while Republicans are
whipped, msltreated and murdered They
do so because Of continual conflict excited and
kept up by the Government. He sees that the only
way stop II Is TO adopt different and put
bayunets and carpet baggers and plumber. Good
men look on unmoved good men can see un.
moved the slaughter Of the battlefield and rejoice
IN the destruction of enemies. The situation could
not have been more aptly described. The result
has certainly justified the effort In the South be-
tween black and carpct.bagyer and native, there Is
profound peace and good will.

TIE practical thing for the Life Insurance
Association of this District to do is to organ
iZe local company upon secure basis, and
thereupon withdraw from all foreign companies
upon the best terms they can. Owing to the
power which Congress has to legislate for this
District there would be no trouble in getting
a charter for a company here, which would
make the policy-holders absolutely secure by
requiring the assets to be deposited with the
Treasurer of the United States. Such a COM
pany, with provision limiting the salaries of
the officers and expenses within reasonable
bounds, would soon have all the business it
