THE alarm of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, and a few other Southern papers, over
the proposition to afford national aid toward
raising the standard of education through
out the South arises, doubtless, from the
fact that increased enlightenment would be
the means OF dissolving the solid South, the
prejudice of ignorance being scattered before
its genial rays. The Courier-Journal bases
its opposition on the ground that it would
give the South the appearance of paupers on
the generosity of the government. The am
bition to avoid this is very co~mmendable,
but at the same time the people of that Sec
ton of the country owe it to their children
to give them the same advantages enjoyed
by those in the North. 1t goes without dis
pute that the schools of the North are incom-
parably superior to those in the Southern
States, and now that the latter have measur-
ably recovered from the effects of the war,
and are growing rich, it is their duty to con-
tribute more literally to the cause of popu-
lar education.

''IF the government is to run telegraph
lines, it must manufacture wire and make
telegraph instruments. To make wire it must
use iron, and why not make the iron? If
government is to operate railroads, it must
have locomotives and cars. But there may
be strikes in machine-shops and car-works.
Railroad iron will also be needed, and it will
be necessary to own rolling-mills, blast
furnaces and mines. Where would govern
ment control end?'-New Albany Ledger.
The government runs the postal business,
and has done so for many years, but it has
never been found necessary yet for the gov
eminent to operate the railroads or to build
postal cars. The government 'runs'' the-cur-
rency, but it has not been found necessary
for the government to make the paper or
build paper-mills. The Ledger's conclusion
is about the worst case of non sequitur we
have seen.

Hon. JEREMIAH S. BLACK, at the time of his
death, was contemplating the writing of a
paper, or series of papers, giving the facts
respecting the administration of President
Buchanan, with which no one could be more
familiar. The suggestion grew out of the re-
Gently published biography of Mr.. Buchanan
by George Ticknor Curtis. Mr.. Black wrote
OF his intention to Col. Mcclure, under date
OF August 7, but whether he had begun the
work is not known. 1t is scarcely probable
that he had; hence his death loses to politi-
tribution.

every dollar of money innocent people are
deluded into subscribing for so-called
stock" We are in earnest in this matter.
Instances have come to our attention in
which hard working men have been induced
to put some of their carefully-hoarded earn
ings into the Stock and who have been
"talked full" by the smooth-tongued agents
of the concern, so that they are made to be-
lieve that one of the lines Of the projected
railways may run through their property
and thus make them suddenly rich,
or that the building of the road
will afford them remunerative employment.
1t need not be pointed out to sensible, practi-
cal men how cruel, not to say criminal, such
a business is; and it is an amazementth that men
of high character and reputation will for a
moment permit their names to be used to as
sist a scheme that must inevitably bring dis
tress to many people. Men of sensitive bust
ness honor, finding the scheme to be the
humbug and sham they know it to be, and
concede it to be in private converse
ton, should have lost no time in pub
licly d%isavowing it, and warning the public
not to give it credence upon their authority.
To do less is to become a tacit partner, and to
be Justly held responsible for all the evils
that may result.

THE New York Sun publishes an account
OF the visit of Hon. Simon Cameron to Cen

Of 1880. Mr.. Cameron at that time regarded
the outcome of the canvass as uncertain, and
the Republican ranks, visited General Gar
field for the purpose OF endeayoring to in
duce him to extend q formal invitation to
in consultation. AtMr. Cameron's suggestion.
General Garfield wrote earnest letters invit-
ing the gentlemen named to visit him at
Mentor. These letters were delivered by Mr..
Cameron, and the result was the conference
of which so much has been written.

THE Louisville Courier-Journal can be re-
lied upon at any moment to 60 into convul-
sions whenever the national government is
mentioned, Discussing The question of edu-
cation yesterday, it says;
LET the federal government become the
schoolrnaster in the South, and the party
which happens to be in power at Washing
ton Will, through this agency, possess a po-
litical machine beside which the federal
marshal apparatus, in its palmiest days, was
as nothing. Gentlemen who are dallying
with the rose-colored propositions of North
ern politicians touching this subject should
pause and count the cost. Let them not be
dipped by the Pennsylvania and New Eng
gland protectionists, who are at the bottom
Of this scheme of educational subsidy, for
the sole purpose of keeping up the onerous
system of tariff taxation and maintaining the
easy flow of bounties into the pockets of the
protected group, on the plea that the govern
ment expenses must be met. 1t is their pur-
pose to create new expenses, new depletions
OF the Treasury, so as to keep up the war
tariff to plague and tax the people for their
benefit"
Was there ever such drivel as this2 DIR.

to know very much more of the needs of the
South than this vaporous writer, in his
C%hautauqua address laid the duty upon
the government to educate those
whom it had made voters. The Northern
States certainly are not anxious to be taxed
for the education of Southern illiterates,
and the only support any kind of scheme
would receive would be on the ground OF the
safety and security Of the whole nation re-
sulting from the obliteration of the great,
black shadow OF ignorance that covers the
South as a pail. Certainly, the danger of
the fedora! government becoming the school
master is not so great as the Courier-Journal
pictures. AT the worst possible it could not
be half so bad as the Democratic party,
which has been the Southern schoolmaster
since there was a South or there was a DEM
ocratic party, If we are to judge by the re-
suits in Kentucky, any kind of a change in
schoolmasters would be beneficial.

THE wretched man who takes his wife's or any
other woman's letters to post, and CARRIE them
in his pocket until they are frayed out, has never
had his just deserts, but the lines are beginning
TO tighten around him. A New York widow,
while keeping house for a wealthy citizen, gave
his son two letters to mail. After the custom of
his sex, the youth forgot the epistles until
weeks later, when the widow Investigated the
matter. When she found the state of the case
she was angry. Being a wise woman she knew
that no judge or jury of the offending sex could
he found who would decide in her favor in "a suit
for damages on such a charge, and the more she
thought about it the madder she got. She be-
came so obstreperOus, in fact. that the wealthy
citizen discharged her, which was what the
