fall upon the business interests of the coun-
try.
THE Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat telegrsphs that "the
proposition Of Senator CocKRELL, to introduce
q resolution to amend the Constitution of the
United States so as to prohibit the payment of
pensions to Confederate soldiers, does not meet
with any encouragement from Democrats,
either North or South. Those who have re-
turned here express themselves decidedly
avcrse to commttal in any shape whatever on
questions of that character" The Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN not long ago called
attention to the fnct, and quoted the re.
cord to show that in the last Congress the
Democrats not only showed an aversion ia
lcsislating on tn, subject Of the payment of
rebel claims, but that the Democratic Com.
mittcc on tho Judiciary deliberately aud
wilfully diSnbeycd the order of the House h
report Constitutional amendment forever
putting the question at rest. And now VI
are told that Democrats arc decidedly AYERS,
to committal in any shape whatever on qu,s
tions of that character" Why there should
be this aversion, after we have been told $,
often that such claims were never to be passed
we cannot understand. Are the Democrats
insinccre in their professions, and do they in
tend, If they ever succeed to full power again,
to pay all the LOSES which the South sus.
tanned in consequence of their treason and re.
bellion? The hesitation in the enactment oI
such laws rs would forever settle the qucs
tion would make 1t appear so. The Demo
cratic papers will, we suppose, call this another
slanderous assault upon the honor and integ.
rity Of the South. But 1t is no such thing
It is simply calling attention to facts. 1t Il
notification to the loyal people of the North
of what they may expect from the accession o
ofthe rebel Democracy to power, and we mis-,
take the temper of the Northern people II

Silver was coined In England and sent over TO
the American Colonies, whore Il became and
remained a legal-tender until the adoption Of
our Constitution, by which gold and silver
were made legal-tenders. Silver maintained
its standard value until 1874, when 1t was
wrongfully demonetized. This wrong must
now be righted. The effort to repress enter.
prise and oppress industry by attempting to
resume specie payments upon q narrow basis,
will prove utterly abortive. Resumption can
only be maintained by the reconciliation Of
silver. Any attempt TO strike star or oblit-
crate stripe from the flag OF the Union would
be Indignantly resented by the American pco.
pie.
We regret exceedingly that our space will
not permit us to copy Mr.. WEEDS mastery
defense Of the silver question entire, but we
present its salient points, so that our read
ers may in some degree appreciate its forci-
bic arguments. If reason Is allowed to pre-.
vail there can be no doubt of the success OF
the silver measure in some wise and well.
guarded form. But ifavaricc, prejudice, and
corrupt agencies are to attain with the law
making power, the rights and interests o.
the people may be dcthroned, and disaster
fall upon the business interests of the coun'
try.

part of the coming week for period of about
four weeks, the cause of the suspension being

COUNTY CONvENTION.-The Democrats of
Ormsby county will meet here on Friday
next in County Convention. The MORNING

action of the local Z" unterrIfed," but we an
ticpate a mild and thoroughly harmonious
time No vulgar scrambling for the loaves
of office, no heart burnings among place
hunters, but the Era of Good Feeling in a
small way Will be there. A full Legislative

again no nominations may be made, and-but
why speculate on the mysterious ways of
modern Democrats
RICH ORE-We saw yesterday, up at the
freight Office of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad Company, wonderfully rich ore
specimen from the Dudley lode, one of the
Aurora Tunnel series, Bodie. The specimen
was obtained from point near the surface,
where the lode was considerably broken up,
and was very rich in free gold, and one side
showed fine horn silver on the surface. The
Dudley in the winze is down over two hun
dred feet, where it shows a strong lode of
splendid vein matter.
FuTHY-Some of our fellow citizens VIII ose
daily walks cause them to pass the north door
of the capitol building, are making mild com
plants of the filth emptied in front of that
portal, such as cigar stubs, guilds of tobacco
and other emptyings of the cuspidores. We
should think this could be avoided, and some
more fitting place selected for the diposal of
such filth.

The Impending Close of the Public
Schools.

By the article elsewhere it will be seen thai
the school board will probably be compelled to
close the public schools IN a few days. for want
of funds. The sum set apart for the support
of the schools has been nearly expended,
and under the law of Congress the District
Commissioners are pOwerleSs to afford any re-
lief, as they are prohibited under heavy penal
ties from contracting any debts.
1t has been hoped that ere this some Con-
gressional action would have been taken to
enable the schools to go on but the delay in
dealing with District matters there has him
dered this measure OF relief.
The claims of the District for legislation in
behalf of the public schools have been fully
set forth by the Citizens committee of One
Hundred. The official reports quoted by
the committee show that while the
rate of taxation in this District for
the support of the public schools is nearly
double that in most of the large cities of the
Union, the means of education are wholly in
adequate to the wants of our population. We
have expended for this object in the last six
years nearly S2-4ON,O0O, and yet 104 of our
schools, representing $40 pupils, are COM
PEELED to occupy rented rooms, wholly untitled
to the purpose and menacing to the health of
our children. The sum of 100000 is required
to supply this deficiency of school buildings,
and an additional appropriation of $4,000 is
needed TO keep our schools in operation to the
close OF the p eSent school year.
While IL the territories and most of the
states of the Union have received from Con-
greSs munificent grants of the public lands in
aid of education, not an acre has been granted
to the District of COlumbia--the nations Capt.
tal-and the appropriations of money by Con
SreSs for this object are Insignificant. The
injustice to the District seems the greater
when We consider the fact that Orae-third of
our school revenue is devoted to the education
OF cOlOTed children, invited here from the sur
rounding states by recent action of Congress,
and whose parents as rule pay no taxes and
that thirty per cent. of the white pupils in our
schools are the children of persons connected
with the public service, and who, for the most
part, are mere sOjOurnerS amt nOn-taxpayers
Thus, while the States furnish 60 per cent of
the beneficiarieS of our schools, they throw
the entire burden of their support on the A.
per cent. of taX-paying citizens.
As stated the National Government has
aided in the establishment and support of
public schools outside of the District by land
grants, but has never given us a single acre
The following table is presented as illustrating
this neglect.

There are limits even to Mr.. Bergh'S deyo
tiOn To the lower animals, and those limits are
now discovered. Though disbelieving in the
existence of hydrOphObia as popularity under
stood, he will not permit himself to be inocu-
lated with the saliva of rabid dog. in order
to decide the controversy, and save the canine
race from destruction. He even steels himself
against the perSuaSiOnS of an eminent New
York physician who offers to deposit $1,000
with the Herald, to go to MIR. Bergh's society
In case Mr.. Bergh escapes hydrophoba for six
months after the proposed incubation The
waggiSh doctor claims that Mr. Bergh has sys-
tematically derided the medical profession,
holding il up to public ScOrn, and stigmatizing
its members as frauds and alarmiSts on the
subject of hydrOphObia: it is now i'm his power
10 subStantlate his statements. TO demonstrate
that all the doctors are in error, to remove a
prejudice which is destructive to dogs and to
obtain considerable sum of money for
his society; and he may effect all this by
simply undergoing little Inconvenience since
from Mr.. Bergh's standpoint there is no risk
in the experiment. The doctor is so anxious
that this matter shall be settled once for all,
that he offers 10 increase the amount of money
at issue if it is thought desirable, and will
treat Mr.. Bergh gratis in case he becomes ill.
besides furnishing the dog and saliva Mr.
Bergh Is also assured that the operation shall
be painless, and shall be witnessed by Peter
Cooper, Bishop Potter, Cardinal McClOSkey
Mayor Ely, and other distinguished New York
ers. But all these generous offers fail to shake
