Peabody Board.

Hon A. I'll. III. Stuart, of this place,
one of the original trustees of the Pea
body Educational Fund, has retired
from the Board. Mr.. W. Writ Henry,
of Richmond, grandson of Patrick
Henry, has been chosen to fill the va
age, but retains his mental faculties in
vigorous condition, as we'll as his inter
est in all public affairs. He has been a
very valuable member of the Peabody
Board. and was the author of the SPLEEN
did report issued some years ago, in
which he argued with great force in IA
vor of national aid to public education
That paper is probably one of the
strongest he ever prepared. 1t was the
result of laborious research, embracing
valuable historic information, and ar
ranged in graceful and perspicuous style
Hon. Robert G. Winthrop and Hon.
Hamilton Fish, each so years of age, are
still on the Board, having entered upon
the duties of members of it at the time
Mr.. Stuart did.
Perhaps the most pleasing service to
himself that Mr.. Stuart has rendered
the public, was while discharging the
important duties of the position from
which he has voluntarily retired. 1t
was labor of love, involving the future
welfare of the South especially, and
more directly affecting the condition of
the colored people, who had been clothed
with high privileges relating to gov
eminent and society, which they were
not prepared to exercise. Time, how
ever, and the beneficence of George Pea
body, have assisted to ameliorate that
condition, and in another generation
the progress that will be achieved will
fully justify the philanthropic gift and
the care and labor which have been
given to it's application.

The members OF the International
Congress, which adjourned over from
the 1st inst. to the 18th of November,
for the purpose of making a tour of a
number Of the States, to learn some
thing of the internal condition and re-
sources of this country, will return to
Washington on tho 10th. In January,
another itinerancy will be arranged to
include the Southern States. It will
probably begin at Nashville, taking in
Chattanooga, Memphis, New Orleans,
Montgomery, Atlanta, Jacksonville,
Charleston, and back through the Caro-
inas and Virginia to Washington. An
effort will be made to include Texas as
far as Galveston. Nothing definite has
been determined upon as to this. Mr..
Blaine has promised that a trip Of this
sort will be given, and that it will prob
ably take place in January

The New States.

The election, on the 1st, in the new
Washington, and Montana, resulted in
the three first-named electing Republi-
can State officers, and Legislatures and
Congressman; and in the latter, the
Democrats electing the Legislature and
Governor, and the Republicans electing
the member of Congress. This will give
six Republican and two Democratic Uni
ted States Senators. This Is about the
result that was expected. 1t will have
an important bearing upon the next
electoral votes certain for the Repubi-
cans and two probably for the Demo-
Gratis.

Defeated Himself.

The remark of Gen Groner, at the re-
cent Republican Conference in Rich
mond. on the 1st inst, that Gen Ma
hone was already defeated-that he had
defeated hilnself--was significant. Had
there been literal observance of the
terms Of the compromise, published
by the several members of the Nationa
Committee, instead of studied viola
ton of it's conditions. 1t Is more than
probable that the nominee Of a fairly
elected and constituted Republican Con
vention would have been elected Gov
ernor. Had Gen. Malone, himself, been
the nominee of such convention, there
would have been no good excuse for any
Republican to oppose him. II he was an
aspirant for the honor, as it seems he
was, the most polite course for him
to have pursued, would have been to
leave everything to the people. What
ever objection there might have existed
to him would have been reeonciied,
when the people had spoken through
the delegates of their choice. No one
else was anxious for the nomination, and
there would have been a disposition to
overlook past differences and past con
tentions, in consideration that a real
Convention of the Republicans of the
State had announced him as its choice.
But instead of adopting a course of con
ciliatton-seeking to unite the party
on whoever might be the nominee, he
provoked opposition and invited re-
volt, by disregarding the terms of the
so-called compromise prescribing those
who were not his especial pets, and fore
ing himself upon the people. Were he
what his friends claim for him, q wise
leader, he would have essayed to lead,
and not to drive. He presumed too
largely upon past submission, and in
dulged too freely his dictatorial spirit. He
now finds that those who wanted to be
his friends and would have supported
him had he ahated his arbitrary meth
DDS and deferred to public sentiment, are
arrayed against him and will be felt on
the day of election. They are indiffef=
especial friends. They believe that they
are right-that they are serving the
best interests of the Republican party
and asserting their self-respect in the
course they are pursuing, and can Meth
err be coaxed, driven nor c0erced into his
support. In short, he has defeated hi1il-
self, and for the result he will have no
one to blame but himself-defeated him
self, Notwithstanding the support that
has been given him by the National
| Committee and the administration. They
have done for him all they could and
more than he deserves-they have done
| it from an honest motive, no doubt, to
promote the cause of Republicanism, but
it was not accepted and appropriated in
the same spirit. 1t has been used to
promote self, and humiliate those who
would not bow to that self. Gen. Malone
and Gen. Malone alone will be RESPONSE
BILE for the defeat of Gen. Malone in
/ November next.
