Our esteemed contemporary, the

Our esteemed contemporary, the
''Natchitoches Vindicator, does not
like our views relative to the educa-
ton ofthe young people of the States
by the United States. Perhaps if we
shall state them more specifically
1.-THE Vindicator" will like them bet
ter, and we hope it viii.
We are not opposed to the Federal
Government contributing out of its
revenues any reasonable sum, annu-
ally, or otherwise, to relieve the South
or any other part of the country, Of
the incubus of ignorance. We SIM
ply oppose, in this regard, as in all
others, an extension of the powers of
that government, its interference in
the domestic and local affairs of the
States, the increase of Federal officials,
the antagonisms between them and
State officials, &c.
II the government at Washington
win donate to the States in proper
ton to their iliteracy, q few millions
year, out Of its surplus revenues, to
be disbursed through State organiza-
tions, for the education Of the igno-
rant, we shall not object, but heartily
approve. In fact, we incline to the
opinion that, as the United States
government forced upon the South an
army of ignorant negro voters, that
government is morally bound TO as
sist to educate them, if possible, ct
least up to the average standard of
intelligence as voters, through the
common school systems of the several,
late Confederate States.
However. we wish our neighbor to
understand that we are unalterably
opposed to any extension of the pow
ers of the General Government--to
grand-motherly government of any
sort-to multiplication of officials
for any purpose, and, more especially,
of Federal officials who can, by any
possibility, antagonize or control
State officials. Again, we wish to as
sert in this connection our opposi-
ton to the raising of any revenue BY
the General Government in excess of
its alimony, or in other words, let it
only collect enough from the people
to execute its legitimate powers and
not tax the many to support the few,
further than is absolutely necessary.
eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" it has been said, and We
purpose to guard the rights of the
people represented through and by
the States against all approaches from
any source, which may have tenden-
cy to disturb ''the balance of powers"
which should produce an equilibrium,
under written Constitutions between
State and Federal authority.
As to what our contemporary says
about Washington and Jefferson, we
have this to say: We have always
regretted that modern times seem
incapable Of producing such men,
and that the last named il the author
of our political creed and our model
statesman. Cali us 20 task, neigh
bor, whenever we disagree with JEFF
ferson, and we suspect we viii CON-
fess our errors and return to our
original text book in politics.

MIDDLE LaFE. 1T is solemn thought
and feeling connected with middle
life, " says the late eloquent F. ".
Robertson, that lfe's last business is
begun in earnest, and it is then, mid
way between the cradle and the grave,
that man begins to marvel that he
let the days of his youth go by so
half-enjoyed. 1t is the pensive au-
tumn feeling; it is the sensation of
half-sadness that we experience when
the longest day of the year is passed,
and every day that follows is shorter,
and the lighter and feebler shadows
tell that nature is Fastening with gi-
gantic footsteps to her winter grave.
So does man look back upon his youth.
When the first gray hairs become
visible, when the unwelcome truth
fastens itself upon the mind that a
man is no longer going up hill, but
down, and the sun is always wester-
ing, he looks back on things behind
when we were children. But now
there lies before us manhood with its
earnest work, and then old age, and
then the grave and then home. There
is second youth for man better and
holier than his first, if he viii look
forward and not backward.
