The National Hotel Outrage Case.

Yesterday, in the Criminal Court, Judge Hag
ner, the trial of Major E. II. Curtis, alias Ray,

son of Ella Tydings OF Baltimore, at the Ma

James K. Sharp (of the B. & P RR.) testified
that On the day previous TO hearing of the out
rage party applied to him for pass to New
York, and he was almost certain that the pris-
oner was the man; saw the party again a
short time afterwards with woman going in
the depot; he appeared to be distressed. John
Daily testified to seeing Curtis on the train in
March, 1871; he was then in the smoking car.
Mrs. Sally johnson, sister OF Ella Tydings,
recognized the prisoner as the man who en-
gagged Ella. James F. Joyce. clerk OF the Ma
ttonal hotel, testified as 10 the location OF the
rooms. Edward Lewis testified that he took
breakfast to the prisoners room where he saw
the lady apparently crying. James Frey. dep
uty marshal OF Baltimore, testified that he met
Curtis at the parish prison In New Orleans in
December 1871. and he Co. then denied that he

NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT.
The Meaning Of the Proposed National
Convention OF Colored Men.

Some of the leaders of the Republican
party are of opinion that the outrage
business cannot be made telling issue
in the next Presidential campaign. 1t
is a mere matter of sentiment, they say,
and does not come home to the people as
practical issues always do. They admit
that if the white people arc to control
the Southern States, they must also, to
very large degree, control the negro vote.
The votes of the ignorant and dependent
classes are always more or less controlled
by tile wealthy and intelligent portion of
the population. Railroad corporations
can and do dictate to their employees.
So do mill owners in Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts,. But there is Il practical
question growing out of the Southern
outrages, says these men, which will
claim the attention of the Northern pub
lie mind, and that is the question OF rep
resentation. The South has twenty rep
resentatiycs based on negro votes. If
these votes are to count for nothing, save
to add representation to the South, then
the North will demand that something
be done. The North pays the great pro-
portion of taxes, and it will not have its
money voted away to its disadvantage by
these twenty additional representatives,
which in effect give the South the control
OF the government.
The reply to this by Southern men is:
"You amended the constitution, and i'm
posed negro suffrage upon US, and We
have suffered Unreasonable evils there
by. Now that the advantage is to be
rcapcd by us, you want tu undo what
YOU have done. We had no choice in
the matter, but had to take very large
proportion of evil to get a little good, and
we mean to hold on to that little"
All the indications now point to an
agitation at no late day fer the disfran-
chisement of the negro, and the Repub-
licans will deliberately propose it. A
very prominent Republican said to me
the other day, "If we could only get rid
of this negro question we could whip the
Democrats every time" He meant that
the additional electoral votes which the
South gets upon its increased representa-
tion makes the Presidential fight doubt
full. Get rid of this increase of the cleo
toral vote which the South secures
through its negro vote, and the Republi-
can party will be strong enough to win
without very hard fight. The proposed
negro national convention is step in
this direction. 1t is political move in
the direction of the disfranchisement OF
the negro-.Specidk Dispatch 70 the Ncu

Public Education.

The State should interfere as little as
possible with private affairs. The only
interference that is at all justi6able is
in cases where the public good requires
it, and the interests ofthe people at large
can thereby be promoted. We think it
clearly to be the duty Of the State 10 pro-
vide for the free education of its chill
drep. If the children thus educated at
the public expense were the only persons
benefited, it would be different. In that
case it would be discriminating in favor
of part against the whole. But pub
lie education is public benefit. The
rich as well as the poor reap its advantages.
It is the means of raising up better
class of citizens, and consequently it
tends TO diminish crimes. 1t makes life
and property more secure. We believe
it to be true economy in the long run |;
that the money it takes 10 educate those
who are unable to pay for their own
education is far less than would be re-
quired to try, convict and imprison or
hang them if allowed to grow up in igno.
rance of all moral, legal and political
obligation. Schools are less expensive
than jails and penitentiaries, and the
State has to choose between them. We
do not mean to say that all the educated
are free from crime, nor that all the un-
educated are criminals but it has been
the universal experience of all nations
that in proportion as the people are ed
ucated crimes sr, diminished. BY public
education we mean O common school
education. This State is too poor to un-
dertake more, and were she ever so pros
porous it would be inexcusable extrav-
agance to keep up university or other
institution of high grade at the public
expense. Such an institution would,
practically, be open only to the wealthier
youth of the State--only to those who
were able to 60 from home and pay board
in city-unless the State should pro-
vide free board as we'll as free tuition,
and that is not to be thought of for n mo-
ment. What is needed is common school
facilities within reach of every child in
the State. There are thousands of chill
dren who, through no fault of their own,
are unable to pay for their schooling.
Among them are many diamonds in the
rough-many who, if given chance, will
in the future do the State good service in
return. They will repay her o hundred
fold for giving them an education, neagre
though it may be. We have, on paper,
an excellent system of free school educa-
ton. 1t devolves on State Superinten-
tendent of Education, the County School
Commissioners and the Trustees to look
we'll to their duties, and to see that the
free schools are managed efficiently and
economically; to see that none of the
school money is wasted to insist rigidly
upon the EN- ploymcnt of competent teach
ers only, and Of only so many as are alb
solutely needed. These officers have a
great responsibility resting upon them.
In their hands are placed, in very large
measure, the destinies of the rising gen.
Grafton. IF faithful to their trusts they
can make the free schools success and
a blessing 10 the State.-Ncvbcrry Her

religion, deemed it necessary to quicken
and confirm the faith of his proselytes

A vast multitude assembled upon the
appointed day, and them he thus address

will now be presented for your intelli-

with the initiative faculty for which all

glass half-fall of whisky and drank it off.
Of course it few 10 his head, and very
soon "Jack" WAS drunk. Next day,
when they wished for repetition of the
performance, he was no where to be seen.
AT last he was found, curled up in q
corner of his box. At his masters call
he reluctantly came out, but one hand
applied to bis head signiied very plainly
that he was ill--that "Jack" had got a
headache. So they left him for n few
days to recover. Then, supposing him
to bc we'll again, they called him to join
them in another joyial party, expecting
to have "rare fun" with him. But he
eyed the glasses with evident dread, and
when his master tried to induce him to
drink he was upon the house-top in a
moment. They called him to come
down, but he refused. His master shook
whip at him, but it had no effect. a
gun was then pointed at him; he got be-
hind stack of chimneys. At length, in
fear of being dragged from his refuge, he
actually descended the chimney, risking
scorching rather than be made to drink.

repugnance to whisky remained as strong
as ever, while his master became its VIC
