THE BILL.

There appears to be a good deal
of misrepresentation concerning the
Blair bill now before Congress,
that proposes to distribute
$1,000, 10000 among the States &C
cording to the pro rata o~filIiterates
who cannot write. The principal
objection raised against it is, that it
will be an entering wedge 10y which
the Central Government will ulti
ma:elv obtain control of all the
powers, now belonging to the vari
Gus States, aud transform Il e Union
OfStateS into one centralized power.
Did the Congress propose to ap
propIiate this money, and have the
same distributed aud expended by
its own officers and tools, such ap
prehension> would br dreaded, but
when the bill gives, and donates
the money to be distributed, to the
proper officers of the respective
State governments, no foundation
for such fears exists.
The original plan proposed by
Senator Morrill, was one that would
have tended to a Capitalization Of
political power in the general gov
ernment, by overriding State III
thoritirs, but the one proposed by
Senator Blair is Invested of all such
powers. by an unqualified donation
OF the funds to the proper officers
of the valious States for the i'm
provemei,t and advantage Of the
free public schools.
There is no Capitalization in this
bill, and it should receive the sup
port of every friend Of the illiterates,
who should receive Il common edu
cation.
