A Hopeful Sign,

When n southern democratic journal re-
Dukes murder there is reason to hope for the
future of that section. A ray of light comes
from South Carolina. The Ncws and Courier,
of Charleston, rcbukes the whites of Abboville
county for lynching a negro. 1t says that the
people of the south "rcsort to the higher
law only when such resort is necessary to
protect thcirwomen and their homes" There
is great deal of froth and apology in the ar
ticlc referred 10, but IL has Il certain ring of
virtue which is commcndable coming as ii
does from the land where tho quick bullet
and hasty moose have been so long un-
rcbuked. If moro sentiment of this kind
exists in the South it should find expression
in conduct and in law. That il does exist is
almost certain, but it is suppressed by prGju-
dice and fear. For thianreason have deeds of
violence become common in that section, and
the intolcrant attitude of the dominant race
has rendered the iaircst portion Of the repub-
lie u constant scene of lawlcssness and blood
shed. Men of the south who care for the
reputation of their cOmmOnwCalths and COM
munitics who have n regard for the advance
mcnt of civilization and refinement every
where; who have lofty ideas of manhood and
true womanhood; who look to the future of
their country as well as at the present, will
do well to speak and print their sentiments,
and do all in their power to sustain others in
their expressions condcmnatOry of the bar
barisms which are so dsgracclul to their
section, and so subvcrsivo Of the liberty
of the citizen and the honor of the re-
public. The Courier is to be congratulated
for its new departure Fit will continue the
course thus outlined, there is for it future
of influence and power which cannot be over
estimated. The manly stand taken is hope
ful sign for the south.

from northern democratic states will not be
likely to overlook these considerations.
AS to the manner of executing the order of
tho last convention concerning district rep
rosentation, IL would be well to keep strictly
within the line Of the order. Tho state com.
mittces will not bo likely to tolerate any
minute regulations made for thcm by tho
national committee. The time when state
conventions shall be held in the states can
hardly be matter of national committee iuris-
diction. The question of whether the district
delegates shall bo elected by conventions at
home, chosen for the purpose, or at meetings
held at the place and near the time Of tho as
scmbling Of the state convention by the dele
gates thereto, resident in the several districts,
Is only important as regards the possible con-
tested cases. These should be determined by
state authority ON the principle governing in
Senator EDMUNDs's electoral count bill in
cases Of contested elections for presidential
electors. Otherwise, the national commit.
tee may find itself Lurdcncd with tho
dangerous task Of constructing u national
convention, in tho first instance, out of an
army of contestants. State committees are
known, and state divisions in parties are his
torical. Not so with district committees and
petty local divisions. Contests from states
are fcw Contests from districts would be in
tcrminabo, and the preparation of II roll-coll
without the guidance of state credentials
might be iraught with danger to the harmony
of thoparty. The plan of the national commit
tee might embrace declaration that,
in cases Of contest, the delegates whose
names appear on the final roll of the
state convention shall be taken as the right
full representatives of the several districts in Il
state, and that national delegates chosen by
them shall be recognized by the committee
rs having Il prima Jacic titlo to seats in the
national convention. OF course tho convon-
tion itself will make all ultimate decisions.
The committee should avoid any assumption
of authority to commit that body on any
question. 1t is not to be doubted that all
these things will be duly considered by the
national committee, and that nothing will be
left undonc which shall seem necessary for
the harmony and welfare of the party.

The Republican Party and the IiIiterntc
Voter.


The commi ttcc on education and labor in
the house will to-day, on call of COMMITTEES,
ask for consideration OF Mr. SHEEwIN's bill
for national aid TO the common schools. TIE
REPUBLICAN, reiteratcs its deliberate convic.
ton that no measure of more far-rcachiug i'm
portancc viii claim the attention of this con-
grcss This is said on the broad ground of
national interests,
On the narrower ground of party policy it
may be asserted that the republican party will
make Il serious mistake if it does not push the
measure forward. This party relies upon tho
virtue, and makes its appeal for support to the
intelligence, OF the voter; when and to the
extent that these are wanting The party lacks
support. The percentage Of illitcracy to the
voting population of the GARFIELD states in
1850 was less than G; in the HANCOCK states
il was 20.
1t is true that about siXty-nino per centum
of the ilitorato voters in the old slave states
are republicans, but it is also true that nearly
that per centum of the illitcratc vote was
suppressed. Alabama has 120,S5S illiterato
voters the popular vote of that state in 1850
was l5l,5O7 Georgia has li5,0S7 illitcrato
voters; tho popular vote there that year was
1861. Mississippi has 1ll,5il illitcratc
voters her popular vote in 1850 was 11107s,
Louisiana has lO2,03S illitcmto voters and
cast 972Ol votes.
Those figures are to say the least, sugges.
| tive Of silence ON the part of this element at
that election also of the idea that republican
policy would dictate the enlightenment of
those masses, who are republican, not because
of ignorance but from gratitude so that they
shall intelligently demand and exercise their
right to vote. They are also suggestive to the
patriot and statesman of urgent reasons for
immediate action, which lie outside of and
infinitely above party policies and successes,
/ Thorc lies back of the political forces called
into play another, numerically as large, sup
pressed indeed, but powerful, sensitive, alert,
and liable at any time to be aroused by the
. demagogue and welded with tremendous

Renu,,lcnns nIrat summon. Il.

Whoever obstructs or prevents the considc-
ration and adoption of some wise and ade-
quatc measure for solving the problem OF
illitcracy in the south will fail as a statesman
to grasp present and vital issue.
The republican who does so will throw aside
the most polite measure for building up the
interests of his party which can by any posi-
bility offer itself before the noxt political cam
paign.
Let this measure be defeated, If at all, by a
party which marshals and manipulates ignor-
ance, marching it to the polls in platoons with
the whisky bottle, where it can be purchased,
and driving il from the polls with the shot
gun when it cannot be controlled.

THERE is an i'll wind in the coal trade W hich
will blow good to the Gonsumers. The great New
York corporations, including the Pennsylvania
railway colierIes, which control three IN illion
tons Of coal, have decided to call nee ting next
week. and Il suspension Of three days in each week
at the coal pits will be announced not iateT than
Wednesday, until there is an improvement in the
trade. This is very unusual AT this season. The
retailers in New York arc buying stove coal for
$3.50, when the board quotes it at si,sj, Itwould
DO an interesting question to the consumers in
Washington, who pay SG,75 for it, to know AT what
price the retailers buy it, The Washington coal
merchants announce that there will be no reduc.
ton in the price until spring, by which 1t will be
seen that they win make about 25O per cent. on
every ton during the depression in the trade.

ABOUT s3j0O) OF the S2j0,OOO necessary to make n
suitable pedestal for the great Barthod statue has
teen subscribed so far The meeting held in New
York last month was chiefly attended by rich mon
who gave libcrally, some as much as $1,000; but
Gs the statue iiself was given by the small sub
scriplions Of the people in all parts of France it
seems more Citing that the money for the pedestal
should be raised in tho same way Why has
not some simple scheme been organized by which
the people could give their subscriptions of ton
and twenty-five cents; the fund could then be
raised In amuch shorter time than hunting around
for mon willing to give $1,000 to 1t? If In
every town in the United States the
mayor and the postmaster were authorized to
open subscription lists, assisted by some private
citizen jointly selected by them, and the people
asked to come forward with any subscription,
however small, the thing might easily be done
At all events, the plan Is cheap enough to be worth
trying All Of our great monuments built by
national sub scription have been built by small
individual subscriptions. When Mr. Vanderbilt
and the rest of the New York nabobs, who as
sisted at the meeting held some time ago IN New
York when the $4,000 were collected, wero 70 lay
aside their grandeur and come down to actual de-
tail and common sense, they would quickly hit
upon plan that would bring forth, in cents,
nicKels and dimes, enough money to furnish
pedestal for the finest specimen Of colossal art in
modern days.

Concerning Insanity.

Ono of the most remarkable statements in
the message of Gov. BUTLER Is that "ithe
doors Of insane asylums open altogether too
easy inward and with too great difficulty out
ward The governor of Illinois uttcrs senti-
ments similar to the above, and the supcrin-
tcndent of an asylum at jefferson City
Missouri, complains of the same fact, by con.
dcmning the treatment of the insane every
where. There can be no question of the fact
that insanity is increasing out of all proper
tion to the growth Of population. Leading
writers and speakers of Europe arc taking
notice of this growing evil. The
tendency of thought is to the sim
pier treatment of the unfortunate. Many
diseased minds are forever ruined by conflnc-
mcnt and harsh treatment. Instead of build
ing immense piles of stone for the imprison.
mcnt of these sufferers, it is suggested that
small detached buildings be erected in which
the inmates can be better classified and given
more freedom. To prevent tho introduction
of Sane people into asylums rs patients Scrgt
BALLANTYNE suggests that the cxamina-
tion of persons supposed to be insane should
not be left to doctors. They are poor reason.
crs. lie says they should be examined by u
board of physicians and lawyers Medicine
is Not perfect science, and doctors should
not be given such autocratic power.
