THE defeat of the William and Mary re-
lief bill was step in the right direction.
However much force there may be in the
argument that the Government should en-
courage and cherish in every possible way
the legitimate educational interests and in
stitutions of the country there is every rea-
son why it should not foster college
wherein the right of secession is taught as
a cardinal principle of governmental organ
ism. When these Southern universities
begin TO teach that treason is odious and
that the Government and the flag are
worthy Of patriotic respect 1t will be time
enough for them TO ask for aid. In this in
stance the demand was especially cheeky,
if such phrase is permissible, for William
and Mary, having taught secession for gem
erations, furnished to the Contederacy many
of its ablest leaders, and, having suffered
partial demolition as an incident of this re-
bellious teaching, now comes forward to
impudently demand public aid in renewing
the inculcation of those reasonable ialla-
ces

THE letter of Colonel O.. II. IRISH, Super
intendent of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, to Chairman Atkins, Of the House
Appropriations Committee, an abstract of
which is printed elsewhere, will be read
with especial interest While Colonel IRISH
has been for a long time the practical eXecu-
tive officer of the Bureau, this is the first
occasion in which he has been called upon
to make public statement regarding its
affairs. We regret that space lorbids' the
publication of the letter in full. 1t gives a
complete statement Of the reforms instituted
in the Bureau since May l, 1877, at which
time Hon. EDWARD MCPHERSON assumed
the duties of chief of the Bureau, and Colonel
IRISH was made assistant chief and is q
manly and raiIhtlorward defense of the
| administration OF its affairs since that time.
| He shows cOnclusively that the large eX-
! penditures of former years cannot be justly
saddled upon the present management, and
that he is abundantly able to defend all his
own acts and the present conduct of affairs
against the assaults of Mr. GLOVER, whose
| charges are the result of the testimony of
worthless and discharged employees, and
the research of old accounts as far back as
1863. We have nothing butpraise to offer of
the affairs of the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing as ut present conducted, and be-
lieve that this much-abused Department
was never before, since its first inception,
organized upon so just and impartial prn-
ciples or upon such a practical and thor
oughly business basis.

THE Opposition press is fairly gloating
over manufactured charge that President
HAYES and Attorney-General DEvENs were
guilty in the pardon of EZRA II. HAYWARD
convicted under the obscene publication act,
of condoning vicious otlcnse and abusing
the pardoning power for the benefit of dis
reputable criminal. A paragraph in our
news columns this morning exposes the
groundless character Of this charge, and
shows at the same time that in this instance
the mercy of the Executive was simply ex-
ercised to avert worse calamity than the
law or justice would impose upon prisoner
really guilty of the olrense of which HAY

ernment which affords them ample protec-

expected to exercise proper care and taste
in preserving their cemeteries from dilapi-
dation. If they lose their respect for the
political institutions under which they live
how can they be expected to remember af-
lectionately the homes of their dead? A
love of country, a respect for the laws, and
u proper regard forthe humanities of life in
large degree shape our conduct toward the

BAYARD's Presidential programme for
1880 is based upon the assumption that the
Democracy can win only on a hard money
and Bourbon straight platform. He pro-
poses to ignore the soft money element of
his party altogether, abandon all effort to
carry Indiana and Ohio, and rely on the
Solid South, with its 13s electoral votes, and
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey
fifty more-making total of 1ss votes, to
elect him. Beautiful thought!

IT is reported that the good people of
Concord, N. c., are greatly scandalized over
the recent elopement from among them of
three white girls with three negroes. At
last accounts guns and rifles were being ex-
amined, and one proud Caucasian to whom
one of the liail ones was engaged to be mar
ried had made himself especially prominent
as the leader Of proposed hunt after the
fugitiyes. 1t is a fact, known to every one
who is at all conversant with the social sit
uation in the South, that race intermar.
riages Of this kind are not infrequent
They are generally contracted between
women of the 'poOr white-trash" class who
have not much virtue TO boast of, and the
"Jakey" style Of negroes who in their walks
Of life are acknowledged TO be men-of-the-
world, or "leaders of fashion"-dusky
ACKLEN's rs it were Exactly why the
Tar-Heels of Concord should be thrown into
discord by the personal or marital eccen-
tricities of this kind of people it is hard to

Overrun with cows pigs, and goats.-New York

Is there anything strange In this? The
cemeteries of people are a type Of their
civilization and patriotism. That State or
section whose people are besoited in the at
tributes of barbarism-take, for instance,
that of human slavery in free country-to
which Virginia clung with bloody hands to
the last, is not expected to care especially
for the resting-places Of their dead Then
again that people who rebel against Gov
