THE INTEREST OF EDUCATION. The
intelligent Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch. of the Sth, has the
following important reference to the educa-
tional interests of the country. There is
10 more important interest than popular
education, and we read with delight any
legislative action, State or national, which
h as for its object the educational interest
OF the masses. We want to see the people
advanced, Intellectually and morally, as the
snrest defence of American instltutions
The House Committee on Education and
Labor this morning took up the proposition
to divide the proceeds of tie public lands
among the States in proportion TO their ilit-
eracy, when a warm debate ensued on the
motion to report a bill embcdying the prop
Ositlon named, 1t was earnestly advocated
by Messrs. Goode, of Virginia, Lorng, Of
Massachusetts, and Bell, OF Georgia, and
opposed by Messrs. Fuller, of Indiana. and
Southland, of OHIO, and carried with bat two
dissenting votes.
The provisions of the bill which the com
Inittee will agree upon may be stated as
follows: The proceeds of the public lands to
be turned over to the States by the Govern
ment to be used by the States as they think
best for furthering the cause of education.
Ihey may therefore give their quotas to
either agricultural colleges or public schools.
The whole amount to be divided is ST ,50O,-
600. OF which Virginia's share would be
$4,000. The scheme has great deal of
popularity.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND
Correspondence OF the Valley Virginian
RICHMOND. Feb. 10 IS


The readers of the VIRGINIAN who IA
vora re-adiustment of the State debt will be
pleased with the passage, on Saturday after.
noon last. OF Mr.. Barbour's tax-bil. The
passage OF this bill by the very large ma
jority of 81 votes, indicates toe strength OF
the re-adiusters in the House of Delegates
The bill is expected to pass the Senate. and
will not, it is believed here, encounter any
opposition from the Governor. At all
events, that is the general judgment in best
Informed circles. 1t is q capital bill. 1t
saves the life of the State, protects and
maintains the free school system, and pays
small amount las much as the State can
pay, without increased taYation) to the
bondhOder. The bill encountered the fer
cest opposition OF the funders, who spoke
and worked against it; but it was no 90;
they had to come down and yield to the
overwhelming majority Of the representa-.
lives of the people. OF the delegates from
Augusta, Mr.. Van Lear alone, voted for the
bill, the other representatives from Augusta,
Messrs. Echols and Hanger, voting with the
minority. The delegates from Rocking
ham represented the wishes Of their people
on this question, both voting for the bill.
No hard feeling seems to have followed
the passage OF the bill. The re-adjusters are
in good spirits, and quietly proceeding with
the business for which their constituents
sent them here. They are engaged to-day
in cutting down salaries and re.adjusting
things pertaining to the economical carrying
on of the State Government generally. They
may not please the holders of fat places I'M
der the government, who are very anxious
to pay the last dollar Of the public debt !;
but they will be very apt to please the peo-
pie, whom they are seeking TO represent.

A LOAN FOR THE acknowledgements
tive Phillips, of Kansas, on the 3rd, intro
duced a bill to provide for funding the saw
ings of the people in popular loan, and to
make it interconvertible. 1t provides for
receiving savings at postal savings banks
from twenty-five cents upward. and when
ten dollars have accumulated on any ac-
count postal money order is to be issued,
which may be placed in a 3.65 bond, interest
payable quarterly, which bond is at option
recoverable into legal-tender. The bond
should be issued in the postal orders in de-
nominations of ten, twenty, fifty and one
hundred dollars by the Treasurer of the
United States, anG Assistant Treasurer OF
Government depository. The proceeds are
to be invested in paying six per cent. bonds.
subject to call, and fifty millions to be held
for reconyersions. This bill has been con-
sidered in the Sub. Committee of Banking
and Currency, and was introduced to be
printed. 1t is substitute for several bills,
and takes the parts OF Secretary Sherman's
bill not Objectionable to that of the majority
of that committee, coupling it with the in
terconvertible feature, and providing, in adj
dition for the reception of savings of a
lower amount. A bill similar in its provi-
sions will probably be reported from the
Committee on Banking and Currency at an
early day.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE.-T

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE.-The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, of the Sth, has the following :,
The President is not as tranquil in his
mind regarding his relations with the Sem
ate as he has been represented. Several
gentlemen who have seen him lately say
that he is considerably annoyedat the course
OF the Senate IN the matter Of nominations,
and has decided to make from this time for
ward as few changes as possible. He is de-
termined to make no removals except for
cause, and to make 10 new appointments
except where vacancies exist by expiration
of commission. He is represented as saying
that the public service is suffering by the
hardness of the Senate, and that there is a
disposition on the part of most Of the Re-
publican Senators on the committees to keep
the nomination as long as possible without
action for the purpose of embarrassing him.
" The President would be better pleased if
the Senate would reject the nominations it is
not pleased with than to withhold them in
the committees. The Republican Senators
continue to keep aloof from the White
House, and the record shows that very few
are in the habit of calling on the President
for anything. To-day the nomination of
Northrup for District Attorney of South
Carolina was reported on adversely by the
judiciary Committee. This is the second
time hehas been reported adversely by the
same committee.

The proceedings in Louisiana against the
members of the Returning Board are simply
Infamous. The malicious prosecution of
Anderson and Wells will go very far to-
wards disturbing the political quiet OF the
country, and aggravate sectional estran. e.
ment. Gov. Nichols as.proven false to his
promise. and the entire proceedings are well
calculated to create distrust Of the sincerity
of the professions of reconciliation by the
people of that Statee. The President has
good cause to be ncensed, as have all Re-
publicaEs who have supported his Southern
policy.

mends John Paul, as "a gentleman whose

to discharge the duties of this office. His
talents, his energy, and the manly defence
of our people, when charged with favoring

Many people outside of the State are very
much concerned about virgiilia's honor.
In the past she has taken care of that, and
will not be likely to do anything to impair
it in the future. She is now struggling to
wipe out the only faint that rests upon her,
and that is submitting to be bound hand and

will viEdicate her honor by resuming con-
purpose and her ability to manage her own

The Pension Committee of the Senate
and House of Representatives have both
agreed to recommend the restoration to the
pension rolls of all names stricken from
them on account of alleged disloyalty. This
is as it should be. If the Southern soldier
who fought against the government from
1861 to 1865 is entitled to full citizenship
and all that it implies, certainly the soldier
who fought for the government in 1916 As
ought to be. Restore to the pension list
the few survivors of 1872 and 1S4S.
