Southern Illiteracy.

The author Of The Fools Errand'
has an article in the North american
Rerie.r for February, entitled "Aarons
Rod in Politics" which exhibits very
clearly the educational Deficiencies of
the South, and the need OF National
all to supply them. The essential facts with
regard 10 these deficiencies were already well
known, hut new and somewhat startling
impression of tEeir significance is gained
from the statement, borne out by the census
statistics Of 1870, that the Southern States
contain about one-tllird Of our voting popu-
lation and almost three lourths OF our Hitter
acy that forty five per cent of the voters of
the Southern States are unable TO read their
ballots and that 1872 electoral votes, or -
per cent Of the power necessary TO elect a
President, is vested i'll these Southern litter
ale voters with the addition of SIX per cent
who can read and write. 1t follows, as
Judge Tourgec suggests, that 1.-THE question
for the Nation to answer is whether it can
afford TO have three-fourths of the power
necessary to control the Government exercised
by either ignorance, or fraud, or violence"
Any system of aid to public education in
the various States, extended by the general
Government without assuming the control
of the public schools, must, IN Judge Tour
gees opinion, combine the following ele-
ments: The raising of a sufficient National
fund for educational purposes; the dstribu-
ton of this fund on the basis of Illiteracy;
the payment of the fund directly to the
officers or teachers of schools in towns or
districts, according to the number of litter
ates therein, and on proof that schools, free
to all within school age, have actually been
kept in operation therein for a certain speci-
fed portion of the year; thorough system
Of inspection and supervision of the schools
thus assisted, and full and accurate reports
of all matters necessary TO direct future leg
islation provision that the fund not applied
in any particular district for any year shall
be forfeited to the general fund for the sue
ceeding year; and that the sum allowed
should, in no case, be more than one-third or
one-half the amount necessary 10 maintain
the school during the required time. The
fund, Judge Tourgee says, should be n regu-
lar part of the National budget. and should
not be bestowed by indirection. The facts
thus given afford a strong argument for the
passage of the United States education bill,
now before Congress, and for making that
measure as much more effective as is pos

Carlylc's death was, cable despatch says,
quiet and easy Daring the last fifteen hours
he was unconscious and for day AMI 4 half
previous he had suffered no pain. His re
mains will, it is said, he buried in his native
town, in Scotland. His personal belief may
be summed up in three of his own phrases
The whole material universe is the living
garment ot God = ''thc true Shekinah is
man" love not pleasure; love God. This
is the Everlasting Yea, wherein all contra
diction is solved wherein whose walks and
works it is we'll with him." As giving
glimpse into the heart of this singular man,
we quote the following from one of his let
tiers 10 Scottish friend few years ago;
'.'Our Father which art in Heaven. Hal
lowed he Thy name, Thy will be done ;;
what else can We say ? The other night, in
my slecplrss lossings about, which were
growing more and more miserable, these
words, that brief and grand prayer, came
strangely into my mind, with an altogether
new emphasis; As if written and shining for
me in mild, pure splendor. on the black
bosom Of the night there when | as it were
read them word by word-with a sudden
check To my imperfect wandering, with
sudden softncss Of con.Posure which was
much unexpected. Not for perhaps thirty
or forty years had | once formally repeated
that prayer; nay, never felt before how
intensely the voice of mans soul it is; the
inmost aspiration Of all that is high and
pious in poor human nature; right worthy
to be recommended with an After this man
ner pray ye.
With regard to Carlyle's influence upon
his age, the late Harriet Martineau paid him
the following remarkable tribute:
what " ordsworth did for poetry, in
bringing Us ont OF a conventional idea and
method to Il true and simple one, Carlyle has
done for morality. He may be himself the
most curious opposition to himsclf-hc may
be the greatest mannerist of his age while de
nouncing conventionaism-the greatest talk
er while eulogizing silence-the most wOful
complainer while clarifying fortitude-the
most uncertain and stormy in mood, while
holding forth serenity rs the greatest good
within the reach Of man but he has, never
theess Infused into the mind of the English
nation sincerity, carnestneSs, healthfulness
and courage which can he appreciated only
by those who are old enough TO tell what was
our morbid state when Byron was the repre-
sentative Of our temper, the Chaplain Church
of our religion and the rotten borough system
of our political morality"

Is the Massachusetts Legislature, Friday
resolve providing for such changes in the
constitution that the election of State officers
and members Of the Legislature shall occur
but once in two years was refused third
reading in the House. In the course of the
debate Col. I. W. Higginson read the fol-
lowing letter from Senator Edmunds;
| do not think the change from annual to
biennial sessions Of the Legislature in Yer
mont has done good, but the reverse am
satisfied that it has resulted, in connection
with the neterm idea which came in with
it, in having "A smaller proportion Of the
members OF former experience, and, in re
spect Of the reelected members has left
them in a condition of less memory of and
acquaintance with previous legislation than
they had under the annual system ! believe,
also, that even in our little State the general
value of annual sessions compared with bien-
NAL is great in respect Of keeping tip personal
acqIlantanceshps communion and inter

simplest agricultural and schOol-dlstrict
affairs to the brDadest ones of finance or poll
tics, among the citizens who thus assemble.

ours the frequent critical observation and
ovcrhauling of every department OF the ad-
ministraiion is | think, of immense value as
IA preventive as well as a corrective ut bad or
negligent administration. In all these re
spocts, and many others that may be men
toned, think the annual meetings. Of the
representative men of Commonwealth are

The country is TO be congratulated ON the
by Congress was 80 tame an affair -Four
years ago the count lasted from the second
Wednesday IN February until the very eve
of the Inauguration; and the scenes then
witnessed were such as is 10 be hoped will
never again occur in our history. This year
after much discussion on the subject in both
Houses of Congress. the Senate, on Friday,
passed the following resolve without much
opposition
Resolved by the Senate (the House Of Rep
resentativa concurring), that the President
OF the Senate ID not invested by the Constltu-
tiOn of tho United States with the right 10
count tho votes of Electors for President and
Vice President of the United States so rs To
determine what votes shall he received and
counted, or what votes shall he rejected
and that ii is the duty of Congress without
delay 10 institute measures To secure the
due and orderly performance of SAID duly IN
the future.
On Saturday the House Of Representatives
took the matter up in concurrence with the
Senate and passed almost unanimously the
resolution, AMI one arranging all details for
counting and declaring the vote through
tellers appointed from both houses. McsSrs.
Hap.in and Thurman were appointed ON the
Part OF the Senate, while Speaker Randall
announced The names of Mcssrs. Crowley of
New Ysrk and House of Tennessee on the
part of the House of Representatives.
At noon the Houses of Congress assent
bled in the House of Representatives, Vice
President Wheeler presiding over tho joint
session. The tellers took their places al the
clerk 3 desk and announced the votes as they
were presented in envelopes opened by Vice
President Wheeler, who announced 10 the
two Houses the state of the vote and the per
sons elected. This IS considered u decara-
Vice President, and entered on the journals
OF the two Houses, together with a list of
votes. As the eleven votes of Georgia were
not cast on the day fixed by law, but a week
later, namely, IN the sth of December the
Vice President declared the result as fol
lows "Wcro the votes of the electors cast
on the eighth day of December, 1880, to be
counted, the result would be, for James A.
Garfield, for President Of the United States,
Ella votes, and Winfield $. Hancock, for
President of the United States, 155 votes; if
not counted, the result would be, for James A.

VI hen the question Of an appropriation to
ray some back pay TO the heirs of man who
resigned his place in the United States navy,
rather than 10 defend the flag against the
rebels, was up, in the House the other day
Gen. Bragg OF Wisconsin, Democrat, had
the hardihOod to say that he who deserts
lis country's flag in the hour of his country's
peril is entitled to no respect from that coun-
try aiterward" and that the men who broke
the Constitution and fed from it are not the
men 10 hold it before others and ask them to
support it." OF course this sort of thing was
not going 10 do. The New Orleans Demo
crdt promptly takes Bragg to task. 1t alludes
to him AS ''the fiery, untamed idiot Bragg of
Wisconsin" who has laid the foundation
for the name of an illustrious jackass," etc.
1t Indignantly denies the charge of General
Bragg that the South is bringing forward
claims for what was due to United States
officers when they became traitors, and that
the South is trapping ut the Treasury" doors
for such dues and proceeds to discuss the
of the South and those of the North as fol
lows:
Let us dismiss the issue US to the truth or
fasehood Of Braggs accusations and look
Only at the fact that he taxes so many occa-
fions Ia repudiaic us. Let us put the ques-
ton sqiarely 10 him and his colleagues
whether they would like to break up the alli
ance altogether We of the South have the
entire interval between 1880 and 1884 in
which 10 prepare n new policy and cement
new alliances. II Mr.. Bragg and his
friends are ashamed Of us let them speak

fear Ia hunt our feelings They cannot he

The New York Times favors Mr.. Pendle-
tons bill for giving cabinet officers seats in
Congress, on the ground that it merely pro
poses TO do what is already done on 4 small
scale by House and Senate committees. 1t
instances the recent Interview" between the
Finance committee of the Senate and the
Secretary of the Treasury, the comptroller OF
the currency, and the Treasurer Of the United
States, with regard 10 the rounding bill,
when Secretary Sherman proceeded TO give
his views very much as he would have done
from his former seat in the Senate, filed nu-
merous tables TO elucidate his remarks, was
questioned freely and infinitely by Senators,
submitted illustrations and facts. Mr. Knox
the comptroller of the currency, was subject
ed TO exactly the same process, and was al
lowed the same latitude. The Times con-
tinues What took place in the committee
room would, under Mr.. Pendlctons bill.
have taken place in the Senate Chamber,
with this important difference in the latter
case every Senator would have been enlighi-
ened by the examination, which would, in
all probability, have been much more com
plete, while in the former case only those
Senators who happen 10 be on the Finance
committee can gain very much from this
really important meeting.

The Irish Agitation.

The English government, the cable reports,
Irish agI,ators to transfer the theatre of in
timidation and violence from Irish to Eng
lish soil and it has thought necessary to
take the mos; strict precautions in every part
of the kingdom. The London Times says
England is harrassed, # not with formidable
danger. with alarms little less destructive to
the tranquility.
Parnell, in an interview. declared that the
government wanted to brighten and intimi-
date the people out Of organization and ag-
tation The threat of arrest, which every
policeman can make in every village and dis
trici of Ireland, to every person will be the
chief instrument of action. The entire popu-
lation will be exposed TO system of private
personal terrorism. We shall carry on the
agitation constitutionally and openly. As
fast as the local leaders are imprisoned others
will be obtained.
Great uneasiness exists in the ranks of the
leaguers at Dublin. 1t is expected that the
government will pounce on all the officers of
the executive, and seize the offices at Dublin.
The Leagues funds were funded in the
names of Parncll, Dillon, Davitt and Eagan,
and can only be made available on the sigma
lures Of three of these gentlemen. One is
now understandable If another trustee is i'm
prisoned it would follow that the main part
Of the funds would be unavailable for an in
definite period A great Indignation meeting
was held at Lang Rea Galway, Friday, at
which ten Catholic priests were present and
similar meetings were also held at Mary
borough, Ballingsloe and other places.
In view of the League being forcibly dis
solved, great vigor is being thrown into the
work OF organization in the Ladies' Irish
National League, which has just issued AL
address The address declares that the time
has come when all law will be suspended in
Ireland and when in all probability the trust
cd leaders and organizers of the League will
be imprisoned, and calls upon the women
of Ireland TO do their duty while their coun-
trymen do theirs The address thus con-
cludcs; Form yourselves into branches
of the Ladies National Land-Leaguc. BE
ready 10 give information OF evictlons In
your Districts 10 collect funds and apply
those which have been iutrusted to you as
emergencies may arise. You will probably
have 10 administer money collected in Eu-
rope and America, where millions of our
race have been cxiled by the inhuman land
laws"
