our educational institutions operates
to their disad vantage or to the injury
of The cause of education, but on the
contrary. he is disposed to conclude
from his extensive observation, that 1t
proves one of the chief aids to the
cause of education and is to be credited
with the rapid progress made by this
country in the development of her in
stitutiOns of learning.
He cites the fact, in support Of this
view, that the very same conditions
which make our Universities a subject
of political strife, makes the cause OF
education a subject of public debate;
compels our public men to inquire into
and acuuaint themselves with the mer-
IFS and dement's of the existing educa-
tioEal system; thus bringing the sub
iect frequently aud forcibly before the
whole people; interesting and oduca-
ting them upon the subject; making
our legislative halls a lyceum where
not only politicians, but representatives
of all classes and industries in the State
vie with each other to discover the
most efficient methods of promoting
the welfare and development Of the
cause of education.
Gen. Eaton further maintains that if
party emulation and competition will
make the administration Of any depart
ment of State government more cir
cumspect and efficient, it makes no ex-
ception to the rule in his observation
when party competition is applied to
the administration and development OF
an institution OF learning. 1t not only
insures an earnest and intelligent aim.
at inefficiency and success, but it carries
with 1t the support of strong public
sentiment: The political strife may be
an unpleasant process in itself, but like
Lincoln's gadfly, If it "keeps the mare
up to her work" it ought to be lA
alone.
We admit that there is some philoso-
ply and practical merit in this view of
the subject that assists to reconcile US to
the periodical agitation and the politi-
cal brOils which arise betimes over the
government and patronage OF our pub.
lie institutions.

First Train to Charleston.
Charleston Leader, 6th inst.

On yesterday the first passenger train
over this road reached Charleston. And
to-day an excursion will be made over the
road from Point Pleasant to this city. In
few days the regular trains will be put
on the road. Thus, after patient, long
waiting, Charleston has another outlet by
rail. 1t is an outlet to the populous and
progressive sections OF Ohio, where the
elements OF progress thrive in large meas
ure, and to be in close contact with, is to
give q powerful impulse to the develop
ment of this valley. The population
brought by this connection sonesr to as
is a population that has so fully and we'll
developed Northern Ohio and placed it
abreast with the most favored sections OF
the older States.
And then this new road brings Charles
ton in close connection with all that vast
system OF railroads in Ohio that have so
rapidly and surely added 10 the wealth Of
that State-that have built up the iron and
manufacturing interests OF that people and
placed them in the front rank as an enter
prising and industrious and wealthy pso-
pie.
This road opens up 10 our people new
and inviting fields where markets with
great demands will be found.
1t should be the purpose Of this people
to enter these fields, and early. The great
iron regions penetrated by the Ohio Gen.
trail, and its connections, present peculiar
opportunities for our coal men. And when
the connection with Grand Haven, Michi-
gan, shall have been completed that large
territory moi tn and west of Lake Michigan
will be added to the field.

GEN. EATON'S VISIT-SOME VIEWS
DF OGR EDUCATIONAL METHODS.

In q conversation with General EA-
TON, Chief Commissioner of the Ma
tional Bureau of Education, who was
in the city the other day, looking into
the workings of our school system, he
gave Inference to some thoughts re-
garding the effect of State or political
control in our educational system that
We think are worthy of repetition.
General EATUN's- observations are
not confined to one State or locality,
but his position gives him the OppOrtu-
rity of looking into all the different ed
ucatiOnal methods of {; Il the States, and
his views are therefore of some value
upon all questions of this kind.
From commenting upon the different
features of the common school system,
in which he was very complimentary
to West Virginia, the conversation
drifted into a discussion of our edu3a-
tional institutions of a higher grade,
such as our State Universities, AID the
manner of their support and control

which seem to be inevitable when a
State undertakes the support OF a uni
yersity from the public treaSury-the
difficulties with which We are perhaps
not less familiar in West Virginia than
they are in other States. The State
treasury is always under the supervis.
ion of one of the political parties; the
appropriations are dispensed by the
majority party that has been entrusted
with the administration; the executive
officers who control the appointments
and patronage of the universities are
generally disposed to favor members Of
their own party in the distribution;
these institutions thus become more or
less involved in politics, and like every
other object of State patronage, become
a bone of contention between the pc.
Etical parties, to be fought over on the
hastings, in the Legislative halls and in
the party caucus and conventions.
But admitting this, Gen. Eaton does
not think that the political control OF

in the presence of a number of capital

were made, with the same rate of speed
up and down grade, about seven miles
