Possibly not a GoIId south After all.

Possibly not q Solid South After all.
The result OF the election in Ohio, and
the prospect Of a similar result in New
York, has had the effect to ,cgOta sober
second thought in the tone Of expression
title SOUTH: Tf4eeGect has been healthy.
This is why We rejoice at Republican vic.
tories. They force the spirit o.. intoler-
auco and violence at the South TO the rear,
and make that section moro willing to give
everybody and every party talr show at
the ballot box. In consequence OF the
prospect Of solid North confronting a
solid South in 1880, it begins to look as II
the solid South might lose some OF its 80
lidity before the Presidential contest. A
Washington dispatch is to the following
effect:
The result OF tho Ohio election seems
10 have aroused the Southern Republicans
and 10 have induced them in various sec.
LiOus to reorganize. Senator Bruce has re.
Ccived letters from Mississippi stating that
In several counties the Republicans have
resumed their organization, and that ar
engagements arc being made for the nomi-
nation Of local officers.
In addition to the State Of Mississippi
tho Republicans Of Louisiana and North
Carolina are beginning to bestir them
selves. Everybody knows that Missis'
sippi is as certainly q Republican state to-
day as Ohio, II only majority Of her vo'
ters were permitted to express themselves
Mt the polls. In case tho party can be
organized properly this winter, the Re-
publicans will have at least show to
carry Mississippi, Louisiana, North Caro-
lima and Florida next year. The prospect
Of solid North against them will loosen
Lhegrinofthe rcd.shirt riders, tho shotgun
regulators and the tissue ballot staffers on
the Southern States. They will realize ut
last, that they cannot achieve theirends by
violence and fraud, and will consent to a
general let up on their victims.

AN erroneous lmpresslon geelns 10 bro.

Az erroneous impression seems TO pre-.
vail III regard TO tho foreign population Of
New York city. It Is commonly spoken
Of as a city substantially foreign and
many well.iniormed persons think the
foreign population exceeds the native; but
this II seems Is nottrue The native popu.
lation exceeds the foreign by fully l25, 900.
Tho common belief Is that ia New York
city there are ere 100000 Irish, 100000
Germans, 5000 French, and 1900 1tal-
ians, Spaniards and Cubans; but this Is an
exuggeration. The census Of 1870 put the
foreign population Of tho city as follows:
Irish, 201,0O0; English, 24,442; Scotch,
1902; Germans, 15l,9lO; French, s,9G5;
Italians, 1894; AustrianS, 9.7s7; Poles,
1908; Swiss, 2,l7s; HollandoB, 1887;
Russians, 1851, This makes q total Of
4O8,974, q large number OF foreigners, but
not SO large by 100000 as Is generally sup.
posed. In 1870 there were 1902 colored
persons in New York city, and there Is no
doubt but that this number has largely in.
creased since that time. The Chinese, too,
have added to their numbers very largely,
In 1870 there were only l9 in the city, and
now the number Is estimated al 1000
The excess Of women over men at the last
census was $4,000, and it is believed the
disproportion will DO still greater at the
next census. The census next year will
show large increase Of population, al
several suburban towns have been taken
within the corporate limits since 1870, be-
sides tho natural increase that has taken
place.

1t was not necessary for several
teachers holding f~irst-class certifi-
Gates to attend the examinations, as
their certificates would not expire
before the October examinations.
l think this . proper place to briefly
consider m argument often placed
before county superintendent. 1t
il this: "Our children are back
ward in their studies. Never had
much school in our district. Almost
any one can teach our school q well
~ one that can pass examination for
q frst-class certificate" Three things
are necessary in order to teach any
thing successfully, LIST. knowledge.
ID. Ability to communicate our
ideas. Sd, Power to inspire our
pupils, and their importance increas-
e in the order Of their statement.
Inspiration is most important of all.
But there can beno inspiration with
out ability to communicate, and no
communication without ideas or
knowledge, and therefore everything
else being equal the more knowl-
edge the better teacher for any
school.
Culture never diqualifes for any
position, though it often happens
that . person is possessed off high
degree of culture in one direction or
calling and without any in smother,
but his failure would not be on &C
count of the high culture but for
want Of culture in given directions
or callings. Again, knowledge and
ability abstEactly considered are
dead; and cannot Inspire our schol-
ans. They must be combined in
the teacher with that great moral
element Of character, honest, earnest
industry. We car Judge Of knowl-
edge and abilisy to communicate by
the examination. OF industry and
power 70 inspire ty the past work,
BY attitude, movement, &c.
II we buy culture for our scholars
in the schools ~ We. buy property
according to the value, then the
honest, industrious knowing teacher
Is the one to hire anywhere. Our
scholars are to be made wiser and
better in the school roodr,, but this
will not happen unless the teacher
can inspire his pupils with noble
aspirations, and lhesl aid him to re-
alise his new found desires. Alittle
boy had better stay sA home and
amuee himself alorse than 70 20 TO
be idle, either because he 8 too
young to study or his teacher finds
nothing for him L. DO. Idleness Is
the ground in wlaich u grown near
~ al the evils OF society. A teacher
Of very limited knowledge If indus-
trious and possesssd of good princi-
pies may do good In some schools
and districts may be justified in
some cases for hiring, because they
cannot hire . better teseaer with the
salary they can pay.

THE BYRON SCANDAL AGAIN.
Some Letters Which Give Harriet Beech.
err Stoves Theory Death.BlOw.
Now YORK Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
The scandal revived some time ago
by Mrs. II. b. Stowe, with reference to
Lord Byron and his sister, has at length
received what looks very much like its
death.blow. In the number Of the Lon
don academy for the 10Th OF July APP
pears series of letters from the late
Lady Byron to her husbands sister, Mrs.
Leigh, which date from January Is,
1916, the day after Lady Byron left her
husbands house, to the year 1851, inn
mediately preceding Mrs. Leigh's last
illness. Gall these letters" says the
London Ne1Os of the 18th of July, "tes-
tify to the constant esteem and affection
which Lady Byron entertained toward
her sister-in-law. The expressions OF
affection which they contain entirely
discountenance the idea that the char
ges brought against Mrs. Leigh after
Lady Byron's death, and said to rest on
her direct personal testimony, had any
foundation in fact. Writing only ten
days after she had left her husband,
Lady Byron addressed Mrs. Leigh as
MY dearest Augusta, and concluded
by saying, Feelings must not now be
INDUCED; but whonever feel at all it
will be rs kindly rs you could. indie
pendently Of malady, | do not think Of
the past with any spirit OF resentment,
and scarcely with the sense Of injury,
God bless him. There was at later
period serious dispute between Lady
Byron and her sister-in-law; but it arose
on disappointment of trustee under
Lady Byron's settlement. Lady Byron
appointed DIR. Washington, to whom
Mrs. Leigh objected. The rupture Of
their intimacy of twenty years clearly
arose out of this quarrel. In 1851 Il
meeting was to have taken place be
tween them at Reigate, in the presence
of the late Rev. Frederick Robertson,
but it did not happen, and some months
later, when Mrs. Leigh was in her last
lin ess, Lady Byron wrote to her daugh-
ter: Whisper TO her from me the
words, dearest Augusta" / can't
think they would hurt her, and added
a postscript that she was at Esher till
Wednesday, and if she was wanted they
were not to hesitate to send for her.
The whole of this interesting cores
pondonce, which throws new light on
the relations of Lady Byron to her sis
ter-in-law in the years after the separa-
ton from her husband, is entirely in
consistent with the theory Mrs. Stowe
has promulgated as to the causes of
that separation. Every reader Of tho
letters will agree with Mr.. Thompson
that if the words have any meaning
they dispose of the whole calumny and
Danish i Tito the regions of after
thought"
