To the Editor of the Herald:
To the end that further falsehood NAV

details of my connection With Mr. Sawteli

Having heard that . pardon had been grant
ed to Mr.. Ssstell on Thursday. Dee. 10,

an aged lady, who informed me that she

Blair's Educational Bill.

At the Blair educational ,ilI was taken
up as unfinished business. Coke addressed
the Senate in opposition. He opposed it,
he said, because it clearly violated the con-
.titut,on and because it was a measure Of q
policy most mischevous. 1t had constant
y declined in public favor until now, and
indications give good ground to hope for
its defesi. He declared if the bill should
become law and should be accepted by
three fourths. or even q majority Of the
States. /, would be the highest possible af-
6rmation {havipg the moral force and eff
feet of an Amendment 10 the coustitution)
as it now stood, conferred upon Congress
power and jurisdiction to take charge of,
and control, not only education aud schools
in the States, but all other subjects which
like these had always heretofore been held
exclusively within State jurisdiction and
cognizance.
There had been no subject more fully
recognized within exclusive jurisdiction of
States than their common schools, ard if
that subject be taken charge Of and con-
trolleG, partially or wholly, temporarily or
permanently, by the natl ,nal government
there vas no subject in State jurisdiction
which would not be brought under the
power of Congress. II would be the long
est step toward centralized psterDalism yet
| taken in American history, and the passing
Of the bill would be . slanderous 1imputa
| non on every State. 1t would be the nrst
and irrevocable step in the transfer of the
jurisdiction Of common schools from the
States TO the national government. He
Who would urge upon Congress 3 measure

such radical departure from all traditions
and policy Of the government should At
least be able TO show some great and over
mastering necessity for such change, and
none such has been shown.
| Coke declared that the school facilities
of the South were being enlarged every
day and the ability Of the people to main
tain schools vas constantly and rapidly
increasing. II the Southern people were
allowed to proceed in the matter in thei,
