The Wheeling InteHigencer, Republic
can journal. Is edited now by a renegade
Democrat from Pennsylvania. ARCHIE
CAMPBELL is a Republican from principle,
and, when he was editor Of that paper,
always kept it true to Republican princi-
pies, yet never allowed it to be untrue to
the white race. The present editor says
Of our comments upon Governor CAME
RoN's negro school trustees:
CAS- bare propositions it does not at
once appear why it is an honor in
the one case and a degradation in the
other. In this country no man,
white, black or betwiXt-and-b between,
ought to he put in public place or debar-
red from it for any other reason than fit
ness or unfitness."
And yet not one single negro can be
found among the two hundred elected to
Congress from the northern States. Not
one negro Governor, Lieutenant-Governor,
or Judge. Not one negro in any position
OF much honor or profit, except BRUCE,
FRED. DOUGLASS, and a few others who
were appointed to office by the Executive,
lust as CAMERON's TWO negro trustees were
appointed. The Republicans Of the North
are Just as much afraid tonominate negroes
for election by the people as are the Repub-
licans OF the South. The white people,
North and South, regard it as wrong to put
negroes ever whites in any Official capacity.

A PoIitlcnl Crime.

There IL no subject worthier puOhc a,-
tention than the education OF the young ny
the state-a problem not yet solved, AZ,
though for many years the white people Oh
Virginia have patiently made an earnest
attempt to do so, taxing themselves IN ,hcl
poverty for that purpose ana only ashlhs
that the nublic schools OF the State be not
dragged into the mire Of party strife. UP
TO comparatively recent period tnelr ei,
forts were highly successiul-ali snades VI
political opinion working together III UNI
usual harmony for the sole end OF develop
ing our public schools to their hlghest Ell
ficiency and usefulness. ,,
Those DAYS are gone! Now the public.
school system Is political burear-one OF
the many heads OF that political hydra
under whose "malign influence Virginia
has so long suffered.
Those who hold controlling positions are
selected with view to party ends. Men
who stood by the system in its infancy,
when nerve was required, and who subse,
ouentlv gave 1t years Of patient labor aud
Supervising care, have been unceremolii-
ously kicked out upon trumped-up preteXts,
and their places taken, not only by latteT-
day converts. but in the majority oil IN
stances by men who have the brass to ac-
cent but not the brains to ill the position
rs it should be flied. The military man OF
the past. whose occupation Is gone; the law
YER without clients, ready for dirty work !;
the doctor. willing to degrade his profess
sion: the cross-rOad and city politician,
who manipulate the counting OF ballots at
the polls. and last, but not least, that hardy
son OF toll. the Governors body servant,
are all Mt in these days to sit upon our
School Board. provided they or their friends
can bring the necessary political influence
the Boss requires.
When it is remembered that the School
Board appoints teachers in the public
schools. decides the many nice questions
that there arise, and that its president
signs. or is presumed to sign, many OF the
most important official papers, appoints
from among the Board all the committees,
who in turn are expected to closely super
wise and direct the working OF The
system, every candid man must admit that
the introduction OF politics into the public
schools in the manner noted in this article,
and which cannot be fairly denied. Is not
only political error, but also politich
crime Petersburg Nail.

The report adopted yesterday by 'he
Council of the Protestant Episcopal Ch'lrch
of Virginia on the relations OF the Church
TO the negro is the most sensible paper
which we remember to have seen, read,
or heard OF, on that subject. 1t is plaln'
practical. candid. II blinks no question,
and INDUCES in no circumloeutions'
but speaks the truth boldly. Why the
matter cannot always be thus treated we
cannot imagine-especially by ecclesiastical
assemblies. Let not man join together
those whom God hath put asunder. The
new version reads:
"And he made Of one every nation OF
men for TO dwell upon the lace OF the
earth that they should seek Goa
il haply they might feel after him, and
find him though he Is not far from each
one Of u.s."
Not "of one blood" The words fol-
loving the astcrisks tell what all men agree
in-wherein they are all rs one.

Raal Estate and the Schools.

The interest OF the country peop'e =" '"s
public schools Of Richmond Is eVioe ,"oa
by the fact that on the 9th OF MARCH, ioo-'
the General Assembly passed an ACT op.n-
ing the schools to the children OF al cur
Gems owning real estate and paying axe
in the city, whether residents OF the Guy VI
not. Many persons have availeu .non1
selves Of this privilege; and many o,"ei'
living on the lines Of the railroaas nave
been considering the expedielcy ana econ
omy OF buying real estate in the Guy III
order that they might, by boarding 'ne',
children with friends in town I'VE DAYS Oh
every week, enjoy the advantages OF INC
admirable educational system when 'he
late lamented JAMES II. BINFoRp, as Tue
executive officer OF the Council, erecleu'
developed, and established here. TO pros
titute these schools to the inordinate lusls
of greedy partisans is a wrong to the whole
State.

Why do they not have colored policemen
in philadelphia, Cincinnati. and Boston?
Are the coored people North inferior to
those South g-LUnchbuTg Addnce.
Does any body want a war OF races ?
Wing.
No. But putting negroes in Office will
bring about Il war Of races. Your party Is
doing that thing to fearful extent. and it
gets worse and worse every year.-Ddnrihe
Times.
Now that it is a settled fact two negroes
will be on the board of trustees, the people
of Richmond are very much incensed. And
well they may be. Those negroes were put
on becausethey were colored, and therefore
in defiance OF law. 1t is our opinion that
the "blessed" Farr will have colOred
trustee in Danville in very short time

A Princess Not Afraid to Work.

Prince Louise has been styled the
beauty of the royal family But that
is only by comparison. She has regu~
lar features, an agreeable expression,
true and clean, no nonsense, no false
hood in it; fair skin, shoulders which
a sculptor would be under no tempta-
ton to correct i'll molding bust of her;
an elegant figure, not light, not airy or
angelic; little heavy, but pliable and
graceful, and a smile that lights up her
face. Her disposition is English; that
Is, serious but capable of humor and
with keen appreciation of the finest
things and purest things in art and in
life. Least of all, Victoria's children
she resembles the old royal family, and
most OF all of them the GOtha branch of
the house of Saxony. She thinks for
herself, is Independent, original, sensible
and impulsive. If she had not been drill
ed in the experience and restraints of
court life, her feelings would often run
away with her Judgment. She has Il
splendid talent for house keeping, with
out which no woman is tit to live, even
princess. She served an apprentice
ship at Osborne cottage to a cook, con
fectioner, laundress of line things, seam
stress and dressmaker. Every day for
years dish appeared on the Queens
table at Osborne that was made by one
OF Her Majesty's daughters; once q
week tin box full of cakes, which were
mixed and baked by them, was sent to
the German Crown Princess, with fruits
end flowers from the cottage garden.
Princess Louise started in married life
with the determination not to be the
rival, on their own ground, of plutocrats'
