The House Committee favors an
appropriation Of sl0,000,000 annually
for the next FIVE years for educational
purposes, TO be distributed among the
several states and territories by the
secretary Of the Treasury in the ratio
of illiteracy. The Washington Poet
referring to this says: There can be no
question of the constitutional right
Of Congress to appropriate from the
public treasury any sum of money that
it may deem expediept for the purpose
of aiding the States in educational
work. The statistics of illiteracy, es-
pecially in the States where slavery
existed twenty years ago. show how
urgent is the necessity for largely in
creased school facilities Much has
been done already by public and pri.
vate means, but the work accomplish
ed is Insignificant when compared with
what remaines unperformed. The
most startling revelations of the census
tables are the facts that there are in

four millions of adult citizens, includ.
ing two millions of voters, who cannot
write their names, aud that out of
school population of eighteen millions.
seven and a.half millions are growing
up in ignorance of the alphabet. The
right and duty of extinguisbing a fire
that threatens destruction of a great

and imperative than are the proprietv

THE new converts in Congress to

merit to improve the civil service
that might come up to them
claiming Democratic paternity, or
that might elevate the Federal ser

bill is of this character aud presented
with no elevated view to improve the
civil service but 10 provide
against emergency in the anticipated
defeat Of his party hereafter. This
system of evading a needed reform
has long been practice d and with sue

on this subject will only be satisfied
with something practical and effective
This has been demanded in no uncer-
tain tone. Pendleton's bill is not free
from Objectionable features, and ought
to be carefully amended, but not by
the substitution of a palpable fraud

Fcntress County, into lO0-acre lots. This
land is situated on eth side of the road
leading from Sedgemoor station ION the Gin
cinnati Southern R.R.) to Jamestown, and
commences about miles west of Rugby. 1t
is beautifully located and its capabilities for
farming purposes, stock raising. and fruit and
vegetable raising, are undoubted. In order to
give the first settlers fair chance, we offer
these lands, far the present, at the extremely
low price of SO per acre; quarter down, and
the balance on time. with per cent. annual
interest. We also give to parties purchasing
the option for two years for as much land as
they may purchase, at the same price, by pay
ing taxes and interest. AS the value Of land
increases with settlement. it is safe to say
that at the end of the two years the reserved
land, if sold by the purchaser, will nett enough
profit to pay for the original purchase.
Mr.. WILLIAM ROBINSON, whose hack makes
connection with the 5;45 pm. train from
Cincinnati at Scdgemoor station, will
