Intelligent voters arc indispensable tc
the integrity and %perpetuity OF our Re-
publican institutions. In Senator Blair's
recent argument in the U. 8. Senate, in
favor of the Educational Bill, Of which
he is the author and chief promoter. he
gives it as a reasonable estimate that only
three-fnurths of the voters of the coun
try are fitted for the elective franchise, OF
that at least one-fnurth Of our whole vot-
ing population arc unable in%telligently 10
weigh the %easons. pro and con-, as to
the public measures brought to the arbi'
tran,ent Of the ballot-box -Erchange.
Senator Blair, we think, gives a very
high estimate, three-fourths, Of the pop
nlation of the whole population, who ire
tntcihgenNy to wcigh the reasons, pro and
con-, as to the public bromght to
the a~rbitramrnt of the balIot-boI! II
there are that msnv the country may
breathe casilS-there is no danger, with a
majority Of threc-fourths Of the whole
voting population thus gratitied. We
were simple enough to think that there
were not onc-fourth of such voters, else
how is it that the Radical party carry the
elections. Hut what we would have
liked, is, that Senator Blair had explain
cd the connection between tho teaching
in n Of our model common schools,
and the ''pul,lic measures brought tn the
arhitrament ri the ballot-box." What
inspiration emanates from the average
colored teacher. through a little effort at
writing, reading, and spelling, to reveal
to the mind Of his pupil the great princi-
Piles of government? Perhaps these are
better times than those of our school
days, for we confess that, on many meas
ures, we feel that we might very proper
ly be placed among Senator Blair's one

Senator Blair might be placed there him

common schools are becoming a favor in

Conquest OF the South.

It il said that a colony Of farmers, from
the Highlands of Scotland, have recently
settled in North Carolina. They speak
both English and Gaelic. and are a desir-
able class of pcople-all small farmers
This is said to be the first of a large i'm
migration Of these sturdy people, to the
South. A large number of Northern
people are also prospecting for homes i in
the South. The genial climate, variety
and value of products, fertility and cheap
ness of soil, all combine to make our
Southern lands most desirable, and the
indications are that when the tide fairly
sets in, it will pour a flood of itnmigra-
ton down upon us, that we have not an
ticipated. Southern lands are engaging
the attention Of foreign capitalists to an
extent they have never before dove. I'm
mense areas in various States are being
bought up by wealthy land companies.
and settled by tenants Of their own selec-
ton. These lands, wild and waste, it is
true. are bought at q nominal price, and
perhaps is the most that could he obtain
ed for them but the signs of the times
are not encouraging in this particular.
Monopolics arc dangerous. and especially
in such matters rs affect the unity of the
body polite, every part of which should
beat in unison and sympathy i'll order to
he healthy. This is but a method of con-
quest, by which the South will be rs ef-
~fectuallv occupied and wrested from us,
as If overrun by them rs conquerers; 1t
is a peaceful process. however. and not
likely to Gus opposition. but will, the
more surely he crowned with success.
The history of large foreign land compa-
MES is a sufficient warming against their
obtaining a foothold in our midst. 1t is
far better and safer for the State that our
lands be occupied by people of our own
choosing. Worthy individuals from any
quarter of the globe, arc not to be repell-
ed, who act upon their merit and respon-
sibility, but powerful monied corpora
tons care for nothing but their gain. 9th
err schemes are resorte1 to looking ulti-
mately to the acquisition Of Southern
lands at cheap rates, with Southern ten
ants. by a process of money loaning,
which will operate as a purchase in the
final adjustment between the borrower
and lender. With such schemes at work,
in a few years, there will be an astonish-
ing revolution in the character and indi-
vidnality Of the Southern people. and
how to preserve that individuality is an
important inquiry. OF n thing we are
we'll assured. that the price of land will
he greatly enhanced as even private set
tiers come among us, and develop the
productive capacity of Il soil. Let our
people be patient, settle their own sons
and daughters or portions of their farms
md in a few years the country will be
to an extent that is not now
of. "Hasten slowly" in this
Of foreign immigration, is an ex-
motto for u guidance.

What think our agricultural friends of
the above fact? Is it not a reflection on
the intelligence and independence of tho
American farmers7 II at least shows an
indifference. which is any thing but
c~omInendable. They allow others tn
control their interest and then complain
if it is not managed to suit them. The
same indifference is shown in local legis-

naturally subordinate all other interests

representation proportionate to their

High Price Of School Books.

Parents complain of the heavy expense
Of books they are required to purchase
every year for their children. II is not
nnfreqnently the case that an entire new
supply has to be bought, not that those in
use have been worn out, but a more re-
cent work on the same subject has been
issued, which is m improvement on the
one in hand. We attach 10 blame to the
teacher for endeavoring To keep mp with
the progress cf his profession. If books
are to be purchased let him adop. the
most approved authors, while at the same
time a proper regard for economy should
induce him to adhere to those already in
Use as far as ~ consistent with n judirions
classification of his pupils. Under a com.
petent teacher, according tn the modern
system of teaching. textbooks are used
more as hooks of reference than rs exrlu-

different authors on the same subject are
not objectionable. The teacher is the
roper authority in the school room, who
should he s%ustaipcd and confirmed in his
views by the book of reference The
chief source of expense is the heavy
charges made for these hooks, and it ap-
pears that there is no uniform price. An
