COLLEGIATE JOURNALISM.

1t has been proposed that chair of jour
nalism be endowed at an Eastern univer-
sity. aud the Boston Post and Albany ArgUs
have locked horns, so to speak, over the
question, though the antagonism appears to
be of mild type. The Argus is in full
sympathy with the university scheme, and
it attempts to make point against the
generally accepted belief that the editor is
called - to his profession aud needs no edu-
cational preparation or improvement 1t is
doubtful if any one really holds to this
proposition, as the Ajgas presents it, for the
sake Of exploding the theory. 1t is never
thelcss true that rs much as collegiate
education may be desired, it is not the one
thing needful TO give success to n journals
tic career. A finished literary educa.
ton cannot be too highly priced in edi-
toral life, though its touches have
been left OFF from the education of
some of the most successful American
journalists. Take for instance TuURLow
WEED and HORACE GREELEY, both of
whom have become eminent in the line of
their profession, and neither of whom have
enjoyed the benefits Of a school education
that could be rated as a grade above what
was taught in the common school during
their boyhood days In both these iu-
stances Is illustrated the fact that the odu-
cation required for Journalism is practical,
and caunot be acquired exclusively in col
leges and universities, The most successful
editors owe that success TO the education
they have received through the practical
bilitics Of the printing office. The educa-
tion of schools is largely theoretical, while
that of journalism is practical, and comes
of the experiences at the case and in theed-
torial sanctum. The framing ofsentences and
the presentation of language in editorial
effort need the moding Of book education,
but the tact and skill of successful discus
sion are drawn from the instructive powers
of the mind and the experiences Of practical

Our DISTRICT GovERNMENr.

Pending the present investigation of the
financial management Of the District OF
Columbia it has been discovered that our
present system of local government is ex-
ceedingly defective and unsatisfactory. II
lacks system, responsibility and economy,
and hence the almost absolute necessity for
q change In the course of this investiga-
tion it has been intimated that much
better and more satisfactory government of
the District can be secured by placing it
under the control of the Treasury Depart
ment exclusively. This would no doubt be
an improvement upon our present system
but we cling to the opinion that this people,
like the inhabitants of other cities of equal
size, are entitled to elfgovernment. 1t is
a republican form ofgoycTnment which pro-
yides that representation and taxation shall
90 together, and MS this District forms
part Of republican form Of government,
it is but just aud proper that it should be
clothed with n representative character,
rs are kindred municipalities. But if
a republican form of government is
to be denied the people of the District of
Columbia-if we are to he continued under
centralized autocraGy - if our popu-
lation cannot be entrusted with the
| election of their own ruers-if they are
| to be deprived of the right of suffrage, and
are to remain as mere pariahs, instead of
American citizens, then we are in favor Of
a transfer of the entire machinery of our
| local government to either the Treasury or
| Interior Department in the interest of rec
titude, economy, efficiency and just govern
ment. We feel assured that no more OBJ
! jectionable government and condition could
be brought upon this people under n change
than we are called upon to endure now. II
we cannot have popular government, then
| let Capitalization take another shape and
| become so thorough that those who now
oppose popular government will seek
even that in the way of relief. Let us be
ruled by department which would he re-
sponsiblo to somebody, instead Of an oil
gnrchy of irresponsibles, not to say incom-
peteuts. The government in that shape
would be far less expensive and far more
efficient than that to which the people now
must pay tribute. We say, therefore, that
it is due the people of the District of Co
lumbia that they should either have the
satisfaction of governing themselves or be
| furnished with more efficient, responsible
and economical government, as subjects, il
not allowed TO govern themselves as citi-

OUR PRESENT CONGRESS.


The Congress is composed of 369 members,
exclusive of Territorial delegates. The ac
companying tabular statement Of the politi-
cal complexion of the delegation from each
State furnishes some suggestive and signih-
cant facts 1t will be noticed that both
Senators and Representatives are included.
The States are grouped in three sections
eX-Confederate States, Border States aud
the Northern and Western States. From
the first-named section about three-fourths
of the Democratic members served in the
Confederate States army. The same States
are represented by only five Republicans,
two of whom were in the Union army. The
Border States send fifty-two Democrats, of
whom fourteen served in the Confederate
army. These States return but three Re-
publicans, one of whom was Union officer.
From the Northern and Western States,
which return no ex-COnfederates, not one
third OF the members are Democratic Sixty
nine Democrats to one hundred and sixty
two Republicans); only twelve of the sixty
niue and just one third of the Republicans
served in the Union army.
1t is also worth while to note that the
States which send eX-Confede rates to Con-
grcss furnish two-thirds of the members of
the dominant party in the Senate and
House. OF the one hundred and thirty
publicans, and two of them BRUCE and
perhaps KELIOGG) haven't long TO tarry."
OF the Democratic members one-third
served in the Confederate army, and an
equal proportion of the Republicans ser we'd
in their country's defense Aud while (ifit
may be said without oiTense) it is so far to
the credit of the Democratic party that out
of these one hundred and ninety-nine
members thirteen were in the Union army,
it is also significant fact that not one of
! the Republican members served in the
Confederate army. But two other points
remain to be referred to in connection with
| this statement
First-Several of the Dem ocratic men,
bers from the ex-Conlederlte States, while
they did not enter the Sou thern army
served the Rebellion in civil ca pacity. On
the other hand many Republican members
who were not in the Union army rendered
good service for their cou ntry in civil life
Second-No notice has been taken of the
Greenback element MS a party. Where n
Grcenback or National candidate has de-
feated Republican he is classed as DEM
ocrat, and where like candidate has been
elected over the regular Democratic NOM
inee he is classed as Il Republican Zone
exception is to be mentioned here-FELToN,
of Georgia 1t will not be claimed that he
is n Republican,
We venture to state that in the dim
future, when the unbiased historian shall
narrate the events of the Rebellion and the
issues of the present day which have grown
ont of the war, the figures herein given,
which can be verified by the Congressional
Directory will not be without their value
in lust estimate of the merits Of the two
parties. Are they less pertinent ut the
present hour?

There is only one chance of Grants defeat,

Senator Don Cameron is just now receiving

In his own State, can afford to stand up before
and take like q little nun. Tho talk is about
King Cameron, Boss Cameron and Cameron

that. The cause of all this is, that the Penn
sylvania Republicans, under Cameron's lead,
have instructed their representatives in Ma
tional convention to support Grant, aud to
vote together. Somo of tho dissatisfied ones
declare that another such victory would be
fatal to Grant" which surely is in favor of
the dissatisfied. Others declare that Harris.
burg was Grants Waterloo" which Is all that
his opponents could ask. But the plain facts
are, Pennsylvania gives her strong support to
Grant, and that is great point In his favor.
1t New York gives her support to Grant, as is
wholly probable, these two great States will
command the situation. Aud when the Chi
cago Convention meets on the I'd of June, if
there is no better reason for not nominating
Grant than has yet been advanced, and there
are just as good reasons for nominating him as
now exist, Ulysses s. Grant will be the Re-
