and truthful the story told by the best

Mr. Johnston sought an expression of
public opinion. This paper represents
correctly the feelings and views Of two
thirds of the taxpayers of the State.
They have only been silent. The er-
rant free school pedagogues whose vir-
tues are discussed below have had
things their own way. They are
sharp. They have bent the press t.
their purposes. Elitors never gave
the subjsc a thought beyond the fact
that it was charitable and kind and
good OF us to waste million or more
each year in uplifting the ignorant.

EVEN the New York Tribune is
moved to rebuke neutrality-suspicious. OF
training in vogue in the admirable
/ public schools of Philadelphia and
We happen to know that the same pro-
cesses of fraud are commonly resorted
to IN Southern cities in which this i'm
posing educational system is adopted.
Girls of sixteen, It the examination,
answered 130 questions, of which they,
OF course, had never heard before.
The interrogatories were printed and
concealed sedulous'y-of course they
were-by The good teacher from the
brilliant and progressive glrls. Ad-
mirable Crichton, Newton and Carlyle
would have been ounces compared
with these Philadelphia sixteen-year-
olds. They named the cretaceous de-
posits of Europe, defined frictional
electricity, the two primitlYe elements
of the wi ill, gave the cause of the
suns sp ITS, and startled an admirlng
and wondering public by the very vast
aess OF their Learning. An innocent
editor irq Tired into the process, and
simple, womanly truth and innocence
revealed the fact that the we'll coached
girls had been as carefully prepared,
each for a particular question, as the
Sunday school child No. 3, who was
asked, in the accidental absence of No.
Q, who had been trained to answer the
inquiry, "Who msde you9" No. 9 re-
sponded: 'The little fellow that God
made has got the -. ache and didn't
come to-day"
The Tribune says that this matter,
absurd as it Is, becomes of Importance
when it 10 remembered that this very
school ranks first as an exponent of
the system Of teaching pursued in pub.
lie schools, and that upon the answers
to these questions, which were efforts
only Of rote memory, depended the
future relative positions and salaries of
these graduates as teachers. No more
significant index could be found to the
popular method of teaching, by which
the memories of pupils are crammed
with the language of the textbooks,
while the other powers of their mind,
to say nothing of the morals, lie idle.
In private schools, parents, having
that deep personal interest involving
their own money as well as their chill
drens' good fortune, are apt to watch
the conduct Of master and children
too closely to be cheated by the peds-
gogue. Then, too, the private teacher
owes everything and permsuence of
employment to faithful, honest, steady
work, while these transient public
school conductors are migratory and
can afford to gain false reputation
which serves for day, as In Texas. for
three or four months each year. But
there is everything to make free schools
odious in Texas. Sparsity of popula-
tion, the absence Of those cleanly cut
classes. the rich and the poor, that ex-
lat in old and not in new agricultural
counties, and the fixed homestead, all
render the free school nuisance not to
be tolerated. -lf

Yours, ~ A LINCOLN.
Iu 1861, just after the battle of Be-
mont, Grant said he was not fighting
to free the negro, but only to open the
Mississippi. which the South sought to
dam up at Cairo Ho saiJl he was ''gc-
ing to the Gulf and quit" Especially
did he assert his adherence of abGli-
tionism. But tempord nataJdntur and
Grant as he rose in authority and fame
adopted different views. But nobody
ever dreamed, even in 1s64-5, that
Grant was doing more t1an fight for
the restored uuiop. But it Is we'll for
the reading colored people of Texas 20
know what Lincoln said on this sub
jsct. 1t prevents the apotheosis of the
"hero President" in African eyes and
renders vain man worship impossible.

THR CoUrier-JolirnaI says Graut has
been stating for some years, and hsI
emphatically stated in Earope, that the
sole object of the late c,vil war was to
free the negroes, not to save the Union.
That appears to be the current Repub-
lican idea, for that party is 80 inimicsl

are gt1ng very weak on the Union
subject. Mr.. A. Lincoln, who wa
once regarded with some respect by the

printing OF the Supreme Court reports to the
public printer.
Among nearly three hundred new bills in
troduced in the House Of Representatives to-
day, were the following:
By Page, to appropriate $4,000 for the inn
provement. of San Joaquin river. To impose

cents per pound upon other crude materials
from which refined borax is manufactured.
Also to make the rate Of duty on imported
refined boraX seven cents, and boracieca six
cents per pound. All kinds of borax are now

protect California borax mines, the only ones
yet discovered in the United States.
