Tho Blair Educational Bill.

We published in yesterdays issue the
letter OF DR.. j. l.. NJ. Curry, agent OF the
Peabody fund for education in the South.
addressed to the editor OF the Richmond
Dispatch. earnestly advocating the passage
Of the Blair bill through the House Is it
came from the Senate at the former session
OF the present Congress. d.. Curry has
met and answered every objection that
could be raised to the bill, and has well set
forth its necessity to the people OF the
South. Based as it's provisions are upon
illiteracy, which. for obvious reasons, Is
more prevalent In our own section than in
the North, the South will get the larger
share OF relief and benefit from this bene-
fcent scheme.
The North, it may be said, emanclpated
our slaves against our consent, and without
allowing any compensation to the owners
for this class Of property. and 1t Is simple
Justice that she should be taxed in part 10
educate the emancipated population that
she also made citizens and vested with the
privilege OF suffrage. Education being q
necessity under an elective Government
where every free citizen is entitled to vote,
the people should be enlightened to pre-
serve their liberties, and common schools
are therefore essential. In the present con-
dition Of the South, it is hardly TO be ex-
pected that she would be both able and
willing 10 meet the whole expense OF edu-
eating the issue Of her late slave population.
Therefore the Government, representing
all the people OF the Union, should help to
accomplish this great result.
While we would not DC willing 10 allow
the Federal Government to take charge OF
our educational system, and would spurn
ibis gift from Congress il II came hampered
with such conditions we are free to say that
there can be no more objection to accepting
this appropriation under the terms OF the
grant than there was to the act giving to
each OF the States the land-script which
realized the money wherewith our Agri-
cultural College and similar institutions in
other States. were estqblished-nOt whit
more; and il is mere aflectation OF state in
dependence. or something else. which our
condition does not justify, that will pre-
vent southern members oi Congress from
voting for this great measure.
In our judgment, the Democrats Will
make great mistake, ard have occasion to
regret it hereafter, IL they refuse TO accept
tins boon, which, in view OF all that the
North and West have received from a
Government that has indeed been "plter-
nal" TO them, we should well claim as our
right. Let wisdom, and not folly, actdate
our representatives in this matter.-Lyach-

A Morited Compliment.

lTimcs- democrat. December 20. lsSf.l
About II O'Clock yesterday morning a
mysterious movement was seen centering
al the installation Office OF the Exposition.
A crowd Of gentlemen entered Mr.. Null

polite request was sent 10 Mss +. 4. Ilg'

that they had asked her had won tneir high
esteem and regard. and as token OF their
appreciation. and as one OF the souvenirs
OF the Exposition he had been desired to
present to her a package, the contents OF
which he hoped she would accept.
Miss Haggerty, completely noupluSsed at
so unexpected pleasure, replied that she
had no words with which 10 express her
gratitude, and could. as evidence of her
feelings toward each Of the kind friends
present Who had so favored her, give the
right hand OF friendship. She then with

consisted Of an elegant plush-linet dress

The Currency Question.

The State OF Tuesday contains well.
digcsted and thoughtful article on the cur
rency question. While holding that "the
safest and surest money IL gold" because
its value 1uctuatcs less than that OF any
other metal; that silver, "whose value is
liable to change, should be used as SUBJ
sidiary coin," and that "the additional
paper currency that may be demanded for
the sake Of convenience, should be redeem
able in gold, such medium in like manner
With silver being therefore interchangeable
with gold" our contemporary utters this
timely and vigorous warning against TAM
pering with the currency at present:
During u period OF great prosperity,
whtn the crops are bountiful, manufactures
are sought, and trade is brisk, legislation
upon the currency is safe. Then il con-
traction be necessary its accomplishment
does not disturb public confidence. Or,
again. 1t is safe when financial calamity re-
suits from one OF those floods in the cur
rency winch are brought on by visionary
fnanciers, who scout the notion OF redeem
ability and pm their faith on faithless prom
lsth, anu III W nan jams Va buVu-
sands OF rash SPECTATORS are wrecked.
But these difficulties do not confront us
now. The fault at this time is to be found
not so much in the currency rs in that OF
which the currency is the medium-the
transactions Of the people in accordance
with the law Of supply and demand. Tam
pering with ii now is dangerous. The IA
lure OF values. unfortunately, Is not fully
understood, and any attempt at contraction
IN this time OF severe pressure might pro-
woke panic. With the exception OF GER
tain great principles Of finance. one OF
which we laid down IN the beginning OF
this article. that study is too largely ole
Of experiment 10 furnish a subject for
immediate and untried legislation at this
time, The coinage OF silver has not yet
brought on the danger Of imitation, either
in its own form or in the certificates that
represent il. Let no contraction OF the cur.
rency, therefore, take place till public con-
fldence has been thoroughly rec Established
by the ordinary processes OF trade, and the
national banks either have been given new
lease OF life or have found their substitute
in some other system. Meanwhile, during
time Of distress which has not resulted
from the condition OF the currency, but
from other causes, the currency should not
be made subject OF mere experiment.
Though written from the standpoint OF a
monoRetallist primarily, the States article
sums up the currency question, gives the
eist Of the situation, not from the position
OF doctrinaire, but from business posi-.
ton. Both monometallsts and bimetalists
may think upon it to advantage.

Suing a State.

II msy be rs well for the public to be re-
minded that, under The Federal Constitu-
ton, the judicial power Of the United
states cannot be " construed 10 extend to
any suit in law or equity, commenced or
prosecuted against one OF the United States
by citizens OF another State or by citizens
OF any foreign State" That is, State
cannot be sued In the Federal courts by
citizens OF another State, nor by citizens
Of any foreign State. Nor can a State
be sued in her own courts unless with
her own consent; and II she allows herself
to be sued and judgment Is rendered
against her, the plaintiff can never get his
money, unless the Legislature chooses TO
appropriate sum to be applied to the salts
faction OF the judgment.
But we shall be told that State may be
sued through her officers. The State courts
can't do much In this line, aud the Federal
courts ,oon't The pendulum is swinging
back even In the Supreme Court Of the
United States In favor Of strict construction,

involved.
Let the foregoing suffice for the present.
