The Confederacy is not dead by any
means. Here comes puny and insigniG-
cant municipal court of the city of Selma
Ala, to assert its lanky homeopathic power
against the sturdy authority of the judiciary
OF the United States. The raving of these
pigmies against the inevitable is ludicrous,
or would be if it did not foreshadow the
serious results which would assuredly fol-

The arrest of United States District At
torney MAYER and United States Marshal
TURNER in Alabama by the authorities of
that State was IN outrage upon law, order,
and loyalty, to the explanation of which
the Democracy must now devote their best
energies. OF course FERNANDO WOOD will
apologize for it, and Senator THURMAN will
mnintain that it was all right and proper.

WHATEVER may be said or thought OF
Judge RlvEs' opinion or deduction from the
civil-rights law, there can be only one de-
duction from the answer thereto by the
Legislature of Virginia The resolutions
adopted by that body upon this subject are
simply and inlamously reassertion in the
most seditious spirit of the pernicous doc
trine of States Rights.

"THE dark horse was elected United
States Senator from Connecticut against ex-
Governor JEWELL, General HAwLEY, and
Mr.. HARRISON, all of whom have national
regulations while Mr.. PLATr is far less
prominent. Perhaps this last consideration
was largely influential in bringing the
dark horse 10 the front in the contest
Perhaps the very best thing for the public
interest has been done, but neither of the
defeated candidates think so at present.

This is very interesting volume which

treats of the origin aud grouping of the arts,
the source and characteristics of aesthetics
pleasure, taste, what is art, style, classi6ca-
ton Of the arts, architecture sculpture, paint

interesting and instructive line Of study, for
they lead the student under the law of pro

Mr., Blainc (resuming), read an ex-
tract from q speech Of Senator Hamp-
ton, and said that if that meant any
thing il meant a great deal. 1t meant
the preparation for another conflict
or it was idle rhetoric. Such was the
character of the literature throughout
the South.
Mr.. Hampton replied that the
words quoted by the Senator did not
name another rebellion. If the Ian
guagc was idle rhetoric it was not
such as the Senator poured ont.
Peace has her vi tories not less re.
nownea than war"
Mr.. Blaine replied yes, but peace
did not prevail at the battle of Wa
terloo. to which the Senator alluded.
He repeated, the language was either
idle rhetoric or a prodigious menace.
In conclusion, he said the laws TO Sc
cure fair and trus elections ought not
to be repealed. The only object in
repeating them was to grasp political
power. Every step taken by the Dem
ocrats was in the same direction.
They want to strike down the FEEDER
al and exalt State power. Other
measures are to follow ; what they
were he did not know. The RepubE
cans would resist by every constitu-
tional means, and the Democrats, de-
spite the threats of the Senator from
Kentucky (Mr. Beck and the Sana,
tor from Connecticut (Mr. Eatpn)
would be Obliged to submit in the
end. The power Of the Government
was not tobe put down by a threat
or compulsion by a political party. 1t
failed to BIO put down by rebellion. 1t
could meet a more serious ore, which
the Senator from South Carolina
seemed to foreshadow.

An exchSuSe says: The people of

colored people. have settled in that
State within the past three months,
want more o fthem. A message was
sent a few days ago from Topeka to
Lawrence, the rendezvous of colored
emigrants now, to send them one hun
dred colored labOrers. Lawrence re-
sponded that they did not have them.
Wyandotte telegraph he'd that places ha1
been found for all that had arrived
there and that they had non left, but
JIad forty-six dollars of the Relief Fund
remaining, which, if needed, would be
sent to Lawrence. III, demand for
colored laborcrs appears to be more
than equal to the supply.

the little folks being the priueiple ac-
tors on the stage aud at the blgckboard,
aud on that day the crowd began 70 ar.
rive. These first classes acquitted
themselves hnely, which showed how
efficient Mr.. Cate had been during the
session, as their teacher. On Tuesday
the more advanced classes were exam
inel, and the crowd continued TO ar
rive. The Littcratti from 0oltewah,
to-wit: Prof. McCarron, Mr.. Watkins
and +. l.. Clingan came in; also
Judge g. o. Cate, two sons and dsugh-
ters from James county arrived. Prof.
Logan, of Salem Academy, and Prof.
W. A. Cate, of Chatata High School,
aud many other literary paites were
here, and a great many not particular
ly literary came, until by Tuesday
night the crowd must have numbered
500 or more. At night Miss Annie
Shewey, our music teacher, examined
her class and gave concert, which
was attended by everybody for four
miles around. The little girls who had
been taking lessons for only n ses-
sion acquitted themselves finely, hav-
ing advanced very rapidly for new be-
ginners. Miss Shewey is a very fine
teacher for one of her age (only lG
years old. Experienced judges say
she can't Uc beat. Though the crowd
Was large everything was as orderly as
could be, and everybody went away
pleased.
On "Wednesday the examination of
the most advanced classes was compile
ted, and speeches and reading compost
tons became the order Of the day,
Prof. McCarron, superintendent of
public schools for James county, made
4 n excellent talk on education, and
Mr.. L. Z. Clingan spoke" to the III
dies. The GeclamatiOns by the young
men were good. Those most notice
able were Thos. Lee, subject, "Ac!s Of
Expression" Charley Davis, "lncen-
tives TO American Patriotism" and
viii Baker, "Tle Future of America"
At night the exhibition came OFF which
was largely attended, there being pres
ent at least 1000 persons. The whole
affair passed of with the best Of beha-
yior. Prof. Cate will begiu tae eext
session Tt.Wslay, July 3lst. We ex-
pect 4 large school; aud we want to
say that parents and guardians can do
no better than to send sllgiF children

teacher.
