NATIONAL EDUCATION.

That section of the Republican
party which insisted on making the
seventy-seven millions of govern
ment surplus simply national cam
paign fund by providing distribution
funds direct to the teacher, has been
sadly disappointed by the shape in
which the bill actually passed the
Senate. For with this immense cap
ital to work upon, the party in pow
er would have permanent bureau
in Washington with an agent in ev-
cry school district and political in
fuence on the next election second
only to that of the Post-Office De
partment.
Therefore there is wailing and
crashing of teeth amongst the elect
because of the thing which might
have been and was not. This fail
ure to provide for the politicians is
the sole ground of complaint. Says
Tourgee: "The bill which has been
under discussion in the Senate, pro-
poses to throw money into State
treasures to be appropriated and
applied by State legislation. 1t is a
system altogether vicious and dan
gerous under the most favorable cir
cumstances and especially absurd
and ridiculous when we consider the
state of affairs at the South. The
race-prejudice which exists through
out that entire section is q thing so
pronounced and vital, that no man
of common sense can profess to 10
more it. * 4 That it exists, is
not of necessity any imputation
against the white people of that re-
gion any more than its absence is to
the special credit of the people of
the North; but it establishes fact
that a fund designed in large part
for the cure of illiteracy among the
colored people is put in the hands of
men predisposed by inherent charac-
ter against them"
Now these sentences are as full of
misrepresentation as an egg is of
meat, and have been scattered broad
cast throughout the country. In
the first place we deny that any log
ic or facts can be shown in support
of his assumption that the fund is
more liable to Misrepresentation from
the treasures of the State than from
that Of vast Educational Bureau
or Freedman's Bank under another
name. Besides the political changes
to be dreaded, the record made by
government agents in these matters
is not of such character as to invite
trust.
But more important than this, is
the necessity to deny first and last
any race prejudice which would pre-
clude the negro from advantage of
education, and we think that the
race prejudice which does exist is
stronger at the North than in the
South. When T. T. Fortune, the
black man of soundest brain and
clearest vision, is advising the negro
to trust the Southern white man,
and Longstreet, Norcross & Co. are
kicking him out of the Republican
party, it is lamentable that our fell
low citizen sho6ld be told he may
expect no sympathy from the men
with whom he comes in daily con
tact. Tourgee acknowledges that
the reconstruction measures of the

Bitten by q Wolf.

On Thursday evening of last week
a wolf was observed lurking around
the premises of Mr.. Philo Garfield,
living near the old Sampson place on
Bone Creek. Mr.. Garfield told the
hired man to drive it away, but the
hired man remarked that it wasn't
one of the kind of wolves that took
kindly to being drove. Mr.. G. then
tried to frighten the animal away,
accompanied by his dog. The wolf
then circled around Mr.. Garfield and
bounced the dog. When Mr.. Gar
field went to the help of the dog, the
wolf turned on him and bit him
badly in the left arm.-Mr. Garfield
is a very stout man and finally
succeeded in choking the savage
brute to death. He is doing we'll,
but some fears are entertained that
the wolf was mad with hydrophobia.
