LincNln,s Good Sense.

Abraham Lincoln is on record, in
his peculiar way, on the system OF com.
petitive examinations. The colored
troops raised directly by the General
Government during the war were offi
cered through competitive examina.
tions, and as was generally admitted
were remarkably well differed too.
But it would occasionally happen that
a young college student, by committing
Caseys tactics, and by shying out his
mathematical and historical knowledge
to good advantage, would get a Clptain-
cy or Majority before he could shoul
der arms and march company out
to the parade ground. And often a
man peculiarly fitted to command,
with special relish for fighting and
perfect in the maneuvering of aregi-
ment or brigade, but unfamiliar with
the characters of ancient history and
ignorant of logarithms, would fail OF
securing a Second Lieutenancy. One
of the latter class once, in his perplex-
ity, applied TO Mr.. Lincoln, and that
man of wonderful discernment and
practical sense sent him to Secretary
Stanton with this note: Il desire that
Mr.. - should be appointed to the
Colonelcy Of colored regiment al
though he may not know the exact
shade of julius Caesars hair.

The Future of the International.

A Sun Antonio correspondent OF
the Galveston News, under date of the
9Th inst, writes as follows:
The visit OF Capt. r. S. Hayes, pres
ident of the International and Great
Northern railroad, has excited public
attention to aconsiderable extent. In
an interview with MIR. Hays your cor
respondent learned that the future
movements of the International were
indefinite. The purchase of a large
amount of stock by the Gould syndi-
cate is of but recent date, and it is
not yet known what will be it's effect.
One thing is certain, Mr.. Gould does
not buy railroad stock for mere pas
time. The control of the Internation-
al railroad is only another move to
complete his grand scheme of an inter
national line from the City of Mexico
to the principal commercial centers OF
the United States. The Information
al completes the line to the Rio Grande.
But how does this affect San Antonio
and western Texas? This was the
question that I tried to settle IN my
interview with Clpt. Hayes, but that
gentleman says that he does not know
himself, and is probably more in the
fog and more anxious on this point
than our people can possibly be. Will
the Gould interest do the same with
this road that it did with the NJ, X,
& T., and take all control from the old
officers and place it in the hands OF
new ones? One thing is quite proba
BILE, and that is that there is as yet no
certainty at what point on the Rio
Grande this road will be built to.
The intention of Gould is to make a
direct connection with the road from
the City of Mexico north, and as yet
it is not known where the Mexican
line will strike the Rio Grande. There
fore, it is reasonable supposition
that the terminus of the Information
al will remain in Sln Antonio until
the northern terminus of the Mexican
road has been finally fixed. How
long before that will be Ill not ven
ture an opinion.

Church and State.
New York Tribune. ]

The movement for the complete
secularization of the State, recently
organized in Chicago, claims both
the ex-President and next President
as co-workers. In 1875 President
Grant recommended 10 Congress a
constitutional amendment requiring
every state 10 maintain free public
schools in which neither religious,
atheistic nor pagan tsnets should be
taught" and so prohibiting the
granting Of pubic money to
any religious sect. and requiring the
equal tIxation Of church property.
Gen. Garfield said in a speech IN the
House IN June. 1874: ~The divorce
between Church and State ought TO
be absolute. 1t ought TO be 80 absO-
Lutte that no church property any
