ROCHESTER, June 28.-The Union

A SOUTHERN SCHOOL HISTORY.

The New York Herald in a recent
issue takes the Southerners to task for
wishing a new school history in their
schools, and objecting to those now in
use, because the Union soldiers are not
called Lincoln's hireings" 1t also ad-
Vises the South to chew to the historic
line, and If the flying chips are likely
to hurt just dodge a little"
In this the Herald does the Southern
people great injustice There is not q
man in the South who wants q school
history of the United States which speaks
OF the Union soldiers during the war as
"Lincoln's hirelings." So far from such
an insinuation being true, If any history
OF that character should be written. #
would at once be rejected as being. to
say the least, a ribald concern, and
therefore, wholly unreliable But the
Southern people do want their chill
dren instructed in histories which will

which have been in general use in our
schools do not do this by any means.
They have, as a general thing, been COM
piled in the North by Northern authors
who have allowed themselves Ia bA

all, either deliberately or through igno-
rance, give no account Of the reasons
which led up TO the war. The Kansas

Insignificant part In the struggle, while

hordes of men collected by the North
from all over the civilized world and
hurled against her. winning nearly every
battle OF any consequence. and even de-
feating her enemies whenever meeting
them up almost to the very day Of her
surrender to overwhelming numbers at
Appomattox.
Southern people naturally want their
children TO know the truth about their
ancestors who took part and fell In the

THE DEMOCRATIC BANQUET.

The movement which a number Of pub
iic-spirlted gentlemen in Richmond have
set on foot to have a splendid banquet
here, as a means of expressing our graft
tude to God that the great shadow Of
the Force bin has passed away, is most
timely one that should, as it no doubt
will, receive the attention Of the whole
country. The occasion should be made
one for declaring the feelings not only OF
Richmond, not only of Virginia, but Of
the whole South. 1t should be made the
occasion for informing the world that
the Force bill means death to all enter
prise and progress in the South as well
as the extinction of social order; while.
without such a measure there is no land
where the rights OF person and property
are so safe as in the South.
The world should be invited TO inquire
into this and ascertain for itself that life
and property are safe in the South, not
through the operation OF penal laws,
which, Of course, are all that they should
be, but by reason of the instincts and
impulses OF the whole people. We need
no body of ten thousand armed men in
Virginia to suppress riot and preserve
order 1t is in the minds and hearts OF all
the people to keep order. and we have lit
tie or no lawlessness here for that reason.
This is the lesson which the banquet
should teach the world.

garded their most cherished and sacred

1t is because school histories compiled
by Northern authors do not do this. but
teach what is false. that Southern pa
rents object to the text books on United
States history which have generally been
used in Southern schools. This is why we
hail with pleasure the impartial. just and
true history Of the United States written

Percy Greg, which has been published

hope to see II adopted as the standard

for in her school histories OF the United

JA.UESTOWN ISLAND,
Where MT. Barney May Possibly Obtain
the Information He Seeks.


In your article in The Times Of this

that Mr.. T.. f.. Barney, recent purchaser
Of that Island, desires information as
to the old residents of the Island and
their descendants, so that the graves.
may be located with fac SMILES Of in
scriptions-Only one tombstone being left
that OF William Sherwood, the vandals
and relic hunters having dispoiled all the
rest.
In the last few years a republication
has been made Go be found at the book
store of West & Johnston Of Bishop
Meade's well-known book, "Old Churches,
Ministers and Families of Virginia"
In the first volume under the head Of
Jamestown" the Bishop gives an ac
count Of visit made by him in 1856 or

others, and gives copies Of such inscrip-

Since his visit, the war and pillage have
swept over that country, and much that
the good Bishop and his companions saw
has vanished forever. Perhaps no better
information can be had for the use OF
Mr.. Barney than the chapter on James

jamestown would probably please Mr..
Barney and some Of the readers OF a
paper so popular as The Times.

ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF THE
PROTECTIVE PRINCIPLE.

II seems to be made perfectly clear now
that the Committee on Grounds and
buildings awarded to Mr.. John Bowers,
of Richmond, a contract for certain ma
terials to be furnished the new City Hall
although his bid was si43.S4 higher than
that Of Mr.. w. H., Riddle, of Baltimore.
and that It did this, knowing Mr.. Bowers
bid was higher because he is Richmond
merchant. while Mr.. Riddle does business
I'm Baltimore In other words, the people
Of Richmond have made Mr.. Bowers
present Of S44332 because he has the good
fortune to reside in Richmond. His good
fortune comes to him in two forms. He
has the good fortune to live in Richmond,
and that good fortune brings him 4 gift
Of sil3.3i.
The principle involved in this case is one
which cannot be submitted TO. 1t is not the
wish or the intention Of the tax payers OF
Richmond that their money shall be thus
thrown away. When they contribute 1t to
the public treasury 1t is with the distinct
understanding that 1t shall be made to go
as far as possible. 1t Is of no consequence
to them whether articles for the city
Hall are bought in Baltimore or not, so
that the best article is secured for the
smallest sum. They do not intend that
more Of their money shall be paid to a
Richmond merchant for an article than
the same article can be bought for In
Baltimore merely because the former Is
Richmond merchant. All other things
being equal, they Of course prefer that
the Richmond merchant shall be given
the preference, but If he is unable to meet
the Baltimore merchants price. they want
the article purchased from the Baltimore
man.
This idea that we must patronizs home
Industries at ali cost is one of the forms
in which the protective tariff manifests
itself. 1t is the protective tariff in prin-
ciple and carried out to it's logical result,
it would compel the Committee on Grounds
and Buildings to give the contract to the
plumber who lives nearer the City Hall
than Mr.. Bowers lives Qf there be such
an one), though his bid were still higher
than that of Mr.. Bowers. The whole
theory is wrong and not to be tolerated
for moment.
