Presidential Outlook.

Wise Democrats are now beginning to
believe that il Tildrn will only keep ont
Of the race that we can and will elect a
Democratic president. There il no longr-
any donbt of the fact that il Grant is
nominated that there will he a serious
division in the Republican party, n wound
that can only he healed by the withdrawal
Of Grant Bnt L. :. G. never withdraws.
II he il nominated he will run the race
through Il will fight il out on this line
II it takes all the summer" is saying
the peculiar tcnacity with which he holds
on to all that is in sight.
The problem on the Democratic aide is,
What viii TiIden dol We think that he
will strive with all his might to get the
nomination. He will knock the head out
of that barl Of money. He will stop
short Of nothing TO bring about his nomi-
nation. Yet, We feel that he cannot sue
coed. The people are not TO be deceived
by him. 1t has been proven that he can't
carry New York by the result Of the State
election there. At least he cannot carry
New York with Kelly against him. We
think that bis hopes all depend upon that
State. We begin TO be more hopeful than
We have been since the beginning of the
year. With Bayard or Field as the nom-
nee Of the Democracy, and Grant as the
choice of the Chicago convention, the re-
suit is easy Of prediction. We can't be
cheated this time. The Democracy have
. majority in the Senate aud in the
House, and In the count there will be no
disAgrssmsnt.

The 0ssssle Female IRstituts.

Alteration the fact that the mere ability
to give note OF TO offer good price and
secure the amount, 10 not the best test OF
ability to build up n successful institution
Of learning 1t is highly important tina,
the college should fall into the hands of
parties who have an appreciation OF the
educational needs Of the country. aud
having that appreciation, they shonld also
have the ability and tact to PIT into prac-
tce all improved methods that have been
found TO be satisfactory and full Of good
results elsewhere. There have been nu-
mnrous improvements in education IN
other parts Of the country that are almost
unknown in the South. The art OF teach
ing il rs different now from what IT was
twenty years ago as darkness from day p
light. The people have right t" all the
improvements. We are tired OF that same
old routine that accorHpllNhr, less now
than when We were children. Then the
Young who wanted to learn did 80, others
did not, unless risidlN corrciNc measures
were put in force. Will. the methods Of
onr flihcrs are good enough, We claim
that there have been ~ many improve
mrnts in education ~ IN any other things,
and We demand that all teachers use
these impro, cmrnts. All these facts
should be- taken into consideration 10y the

Hon. John X. Phipps, one Of our Repre-
sentatives. returned from New Orleans last
week looking, as we thought, IA very good
health, but he informs lis not at all we'll.
We had a lengthy conversation with John
and obtained II far more intelligent idea
of the acts of the Legislature. its errors
Of commission and omission, than we had
gotten from all onr rrading of the papers.
Mr. rhipps has consciention-ly and intel
ligently discharged all his official duties.
and we dunbt not Int that his votes will
show that he has been, if not on the win
ming side. certainly On that side that
seemed To him hest for the people who
this connection We may remark that il is
not always that majority prove their
wisdom by their actions in some meas
urcs that Mr. phipps has spoken to Us
about. We would rather, by long odds,
he with him than with those Of his own
party who accomplished their wishes.
Our Representative has been an inteli-
gent observer Of men and things. He can
give the people much light on the condi-
ton Of affairs AT the State Capital.
We do sincerely regret that the state OF
his health prevented more active parti-
cipation in the labors of the Legislature.
True, his sense Of duty 10 his constituents
prompted him To always occupy his seat
and to vote upon all important measures.
Yet We wonld have been better satisfied
had he have been able to lift his voice NC.
casionally in the advocacy of those views
and measures To which We know he had
given much thought. Before the next
session Of the Legislature We hope that
Ogden will have learned that the ability
of Mr.. Phipps and the character of the
people who voted for him entitlc him to
high consideration in the formation of
committees and in the distribution of Leg
islstive labor.
