"The undersigned resumes the
editorship of the Tribune. which
he relinquished on embarking in
another line of business six
months ago. Henceforth it shall
be his endeavors to make this a
thorough, independent Journal,
treating all parties and political
movements with judicial fairness
and candor, but cOurting the fa-
vor and deprecating the wrath
of no one. If he can hereafter
say anything that will tend
heartily to unite the whole
American people on the broad
platform of universal amnesty
and impartial suffrage, he will
gladly do so. For the present,
however, he can best commend
that consumation by silence and
forbearance. The yictors in our
late struggle can hardly fail to
take the whole subject of South
ern rights and wrongs into early
and earnest consideration. Since
he never again will be a candi-
date for any office, and is not in
full accord with either of the
great parties which have hitherto
divided the country, he will be
able and will endeavor to give
wider and steadier regard to the
progress Of science, industry and
the useful arts than a partizan
journal can do, and he will not
be provoked to indulgence in
those bitter personalities which
are the recognized bane.of jour
nalism. Sustained by a gener-
GUS public, he will do his best to
make THE Tribune a power in
the broader field it now contem-
plates, as when human freedom
was in peril it was in the arena
of political partisanship.

God never created two standards Of
morality and virtue, one for the male
and another for the female. The two
standards that we find extant, one is
counterfeit and the cffshoot of the D.,
and shall we say that the ladies have
been the effective agents in establishing
it2 Oh no, we won't say il, but let Us
zee if the finger board don't point that
way. All ladies say drunkenness is a
vice. All sensible ladies say that mod
crate drinking leads to drunkenness


All good ladies say, aud carry into efeci
by their action, that female who gets
drunk, or is addicted to dram drinking


is not fit associate for them, and yet all
ladies, both sensible and good, will suf-
fer, permit, tolerate and encourage males
who are regular dram drinkers, and who
frequent saloons to associate with, and
visit them. The ladies have il in their
power to drive this counterfeit standard
of morality from society, and if they
would but do it, more good will be ac-
complished than all else beside has ever
yet done.

and finding the ducal party before the

and wanted to know who was the grand
duke, that he was any better than she,
accompanying her query with an en-

from an eyewitness, who thinks Miss

that she arrived at the appointed time

General Burnett said that he now felt
discouraged and disheartened.


He did not think that civil service reform

such men. Greeley was honest. progress
sive and liberal in his views, yet he was
man of crOchets. He had no judgment of
men. and his political friends and associates
in New York were among the men who did
not enjoy the public confidence, and who
were nearly allied TO the ammany cOrrup-

the result to-day, he thought they ought to
maintain their organization for future work

Summers Mixed School BiII-NOtice of


an Amendment-Day of Debate in the


House.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-Sendte.-Mr. Sum
mer called up his bill fer mixed schools,
which meeting with some objection, Mr.
Summer threatened to object to every bill
until his was disposed of. He then moved
to take up the bill, which was agreed to.
Yeas 25, nays u.


Mr.. Bay ard, who was entitled to the floor
on the bill said it was an utterly unneces-
sary measure and uncalled for. The people
chiefly to he affected by it are opposed to
it: charity does not demand it. Justice,
either to the black or the white, does not
demand it. II is as unjust as it is uncalled
for, as Unwise as cruel. 1t was mere act
of visionary zeal.


He (Mr. Bayard) would show by the
school laws of this district that now most
ample and generous provisions were made
for the education Of the cOlOred people of
the district, and cheerfully, at the expense
of the white people. He believed that this
mixture of the two races would be fraugbt
with great evil to til, weaker race, and that
it would be most injurious to society.


There is not a white parent in this dis
trict, whose children attend the common
schools, who has asked for this bill.
There is not a Senator On this floor who will
vote for this bill whose children or grand
children will ever go to these schools to mix
with the negro children, but ;hey will vote
to force this association upon the children
of poor parents, who are compelled to send
their children TO the comm n schools
What kind of philanthropy is this!


The white people of this district are now
compelled to contribute most unequallY to
the support of the cOlored schools, and now
it is proposed to take from them the poor
privilege of doing as they please with the
rest of their money.

an amendment providing that before the
act goes into effect it shall be submitted for
ratification to the qualified voters Of the

that the present law be so amended as to

power to convene the board at Washington
or elsewhere if he sees fit, to frame new
rules and regulations to carry out the law,
and that he have the power to review the
