The questions that enter into tho advisability of such appropriations are the advantages thatimay be secured to the Nation through such a policy, the agreomont upan A system of distribution among the people, and tho resources of the Government that ean be mado available for cduentional purposes without crippling other essential supporta of the Natlon and Government or oppressing the people with taxation. No one can travel through tho sixteen Southern States without being impressed with the notable doficlency of eduentional facllities, the prevailing Ignorance among the masses, and the Injustice and suffering which the weaker classes enduro by renson of theirignorance, If the population of the Southern States bo estimated at 16,000,000, {tis safe to sny that there aro not more than 1,000,000 well educated people, 2,000,000 mora foirly educated, perlinps 4,000,000 with tho rudiments ofeduention, white the other 10,000,~ 000 are swamped in ignorance. Tho political situation in mostof the Sonthorn States ts unfavorable to the emancipation of the Hlit- erate classes. Tho cost vf supporting schools falls upon tho land-owners, and the Innd fs owned fn the main in large tracts by the wealthy few possessing some education and whose class prejudices and privileges render them averse to taxation designed to provide schools for the despised negrocs and the “poor whiles.”? ‘Che poverty, Ignorance, superstition, and weakness af the laboring masses are accountable for the wrongs ant oppression which they suffer at the hands of the ruling caste, and there seems to be no hope for escape through a more Iberal sys- tem of schooling unless it shat! bo provided in some other way than at present. It ean- not bo doubted, however, that, Ifthe public- school system in tho Southern States were oa brond and comprehensive as that which pre- valla in tho North, thero would result a rapid improvement in the material prosperity of the Sonth, a repression of many of the abuses which now keep alive the conilict of the races, a development of National senti- ment, ond a new growth of useful citizen- ship, ‘The spirit of frea government and the sentiment of National citizenship could be encoumged by ample school facilities mora than inany other way which fs open to the Government, ‘There fs one plan for the Government en- dowment of unlyersal and Lmpartint free schools which seems to Ue feasible, and to which all sections, all States, all erceds, and all conditions could agree, It {s to draw upon the constmers of Hquors for tho chief maintenance of free schools. ‘The tax on sptrits ylelded ta the Government $50,420,816 In 1873; the revenue from beer and ale dur- ing the same year was $0,037,059, In round numbers, whisky and beer yield now an an- nual revenue of $00,000,000, und the amount. will fully keep pace with the future growth of population. When the refunding operations of the Goy- ernment shall have been completed, thoro will be a saving in the nnnual intorest charge of more than the entire sum collected from the tax on Hquors. The annual Interest patd onthe Goveriiment debt in 1866, at Its high- est, amounted to about $150,000,000; this Item of expenditure will have been re- duced to teas than $70,000,000 when the outstanding 63 and 53 shall have been refunded next year nt 4 percent. The reduction of taxation in the aggregute will notexcead the saving of interest over and above the revenue from Haquors, leaving the latter {tem o surplus revenue. Tho only notable reductions In taxation since the War were In the remission of War taxes—such ag the tax on gross receipts, the Income tax, and certain stamp taxes—and the abandonment of the duties on ten and coffec. The tarlit taxes remain substantintly the same, atid there iz no prospect that the Protectlonista will consent to nny matecial or general reduction thereof, Thobank taxesarathesame, There is an evident purpose to maintain the present revenues; and, in that case, a surplus of 960,000,000 or §30,000,000 n year will bao constant balt for subsidy-beggars and spolls- grabbers, and a constant temptation to @x- travaganee, wastefulness, and jobbery. The first novement for a reduction in taxes would come from the manufacturers of whisky and. beer (tobacco has rlready been reduced), and these aro the very taxes which tho country feels the least, and which might better bo devoted to un enduring and useful National purpose, The obvious distribution of an annual Government school tind would be among the States ona basis of population ns ascer- tained evory ten years by the Nutlonal consus and under the supervision of a National Board of Eduention. Such on distribution would, of course, be accompanted by condl- tlong, tho most important of which would bu these, 1) ‘hat no part of the Government fund stuuld be used for the construction of school buildings or purchase of school prop- erty, which would furnish States, politicians, and ringsters with an opportunity for squan- dering the money In Jobs; (9) Ubat the appor- tlonment for each Stato phould be distributed among the different achool districts for the payment of tenchors and the current ex- ponses of tho schools; nnd (8) that the public schools should be absolutely free, impartial, and universal, open to all children between the ages of Gund SL years, without distinction of creed, color, race, previous or present condl- Kon, ‘The rich and the poor, the white and tho Dinck, the native and the forelgn born, tho Catholic, Protestant, Jew, and Free- ‘Thinker, the Northerner and the Southerner, should all enjoy the ald and advantages of such 9 aystom, ‘There would bensort of componsatory jus: tice In such a distribution of tha tax on whts- ky and beer. ‘Lo the extent that the con- sumption of Nquors fa an ovil that cannot bo cured by polltteal methods, {t would be nade to atone bya notable contribution to tho ennay of education and good citizenship, Practical morallsts could not refuse to ape prove of such a disposal of tho revenues de- rived from the consumption of Hquor, Tho tax on whisky and beor la not rently a com- pulsory tribute levied upon the people, be cause it ls voluntarily pald by overy person who voluntarily takes uw drink or asks 9. frlond to Joln him in drinking. At the samo thne Us voluntary contribution to the sup- port of schools by tho drinking people would rellevo the agricultural clagses and the land- owners of 4 heavy tibute which they now bear for the maintenance of the schvol sys- tem. If the revenue from spirits nud fore mented Havers be $00,000,000 a yeur, It Amounts to about $£ por enrolled pupil. If devoted to the free schools, {t would relleve the farmers and house-ownersof this Stateot about four milllona of taxes oyery your which they now pay out of thelr pockets to the State, district, and city School funds, ‘The people of Minis would thus save the annual interest ot 4 por cont on $100,000,000, and the people of -Indlana, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebras- kn, Minnesota, and all the other States wonkd make a shullar saving in proportion to thelr numbers, This alxty million fund would ba sufiiclent to pay the teachers In nine-tenths of the school districts of tho whole United States for teaching seven to nino months a year, It would leave to bo ralsed by taxes enough to build and repalr school-honses and provide fuel for the cold weather. The rellef to the taxpayers of the country would be very great, and the National fund would | be immensely povular, Ther could bo no tax on Hquors, beeausa the burden would fall upon the drinkers in tho North and South, in the Enat and West, 1 proportton to tha oxtent of thelé consumption. The benefits that would neertis from tho universal spread of Information would be enjoyed by the Nation aso wholo ns well aa by all ite parts, > It is to be hoped that any future discusston of n Notional cilucationnt project may take tho direction wo have indicated, Tho sug- gestion Involves no {ncrenso of taxation. On tho contrary, at least forty millions of direct taxes pald in the Northern States for tho support of public schools could thon be re- vented, giving great relief to property- owners, and it would secure to the Mliterate South tho means of «universal poputar edu- cation, which, from a Natlonat polut of viow, {3 n matter of the utmost importance to the future peace and welfare of tho Re- public, Great ns would bo tho saving of direct taxes to the North for school pur- poses, the general eduention of the people of |- the South would bo of still greater Interest to the Nation, for republican self-govern- mentcan only bo stcecssfully maintained, and mado to contribute to humay happiness and advancement, by tho intellectual en- lghtenment of the masses. Knowledge Is not only power, but National safety and perpetuity, WEST POINT JUSTICE. "The investigation of tho West Point wn- pleasnntness (we think it better to allude to the butchery of Whittaker 1s an unpleasant hess) presents some collateral issues of in- terest, as, for example, the testimony of Cadet Frank B. Andrus. We regret that tho country docs not know more of Andrus, for hejs evidently a noble fellow. He has, itscems, borne with Christinn meekness a too Intimate association with Whittaker In tho ranks for a long time. In reply to 2 question by Mr. Townsend, Andrus satd that “Whittaker had been ‘falling in? with him six.or eight weeks, and he (Andrus) got tired of It for two or three reasons.” What those “two or three reasons” wera ho docs not state to the Court, but doubtless he In- formed Whittaker, for he says “he spoke to Whittaker about It, and told hin ho wished he would step it’? Me probably said to Whittaker: “You don’t look like a niggers you are so pale that the sun hins painted your face with freekles; but you are a nigger, you know, and [t fsn’t ‘tho thing,’ you know, for a white cadet to permit n niggor cadet to associate with him, oven In tho class, officially, so please don't ‘fallin? next to me again; please stop it.” After this expostulation Andrus says: “For two or three times Whittaker did stop,” but “after wards commenced ‘ falling In’? alongside hin. Ie spoke to bim agalu and told him he wanted to see it stopped, but it did no good,” ‘Che second expostulation was probably moro severe, perhaps something of this sort: “Whittaker, you are a nigger; your father may have been a white man, but, your mother way a nigger, She at least wasn slaveand you wore a nasty Httlo ‘ plokanniny® slave. ‘There Ig a disagreeable odor about you which I might endure, but I can’t bear tho taint of slavery and your impudent as- awunption of equality; don’t ‘fallin? along- side me again”? Everybotly will admit that Andris had a renl grievance, Ue (An- airts) muy be descended from Sir Walter Raleigh. Who knows? Or he may travo his Mneage ,back. to the white over. seer who Inshed tho bare back of Whittaker’s mother in the cotton-fietd. Think of the Impudonce of the bastard son of aslave in assuming to ‘fall In? nlong- s{dathe son of a white freeman, whether elon of the houscof Raleigh or of the houso of tho slave-driver! ‘True, Whittnker may well have sald: “ My father fought to pro-; serve tho Government which your father fought to'destroy, and he pays taxesnot only tosupport me but to-support you In this In- stitution. ‘Tho food you eat, the bina cont you wear, and tho bed upon which you sleep are pald for out of the hard earnings of my father, from whose back your father draw blood with tho lash!” And the “ nigger” cadet may have added: “If f don’t ‘fall in? alongside youl must ‘fall in’ along- side some othor white endet, and ho will tell me to ‘stop It’? The presumption ts that Andrus Is tho Ieast projudiced of all the West Point cadets, elye why should Whittaker “fall in’ with him for “six orelght weeks” consecutively? ‘hls fact furnishes 9 clow to tho social status of Whit- taker, It 1s eyident that he hag been systom- atleally ostrncised, sneered at, scorned, and treated with insolent coutumely by every cudet in the Academy, and that Andrus alone condescended to expestulate with him upon the enonnity of tho offense of * falling in” with him, notwithstanding the fact that to “fall In’? with anybody elo was to subject itself to still more scornful treatment, Anothor colfateral fsauo developed by the investigation is the military theory in regard to the credibility of uyldence, A dispateh says: "Tho thoory of tho post ly, that If tho entats ore guilty thoy will adinit it under oath,” Of course thls theory Is utterly rldle- ulous, except upon one view of tha easo— uninely: that there was nothing intrinsically dishonorable in the act of mutilating Whitta- ker, For example: Suppose an able-bodied beggar should meat a respectable citizen, ask ahns of him, bo refused, and pass on, But Instead of boing content with one refusal, suppose the beggar should constantly follow -the respectable eftizen and for the tentioth tne plant hinself squarely in his path and ropeat ils request? Nobody would regard the act of Kicking tho beggar off the sldewalk ag Intrinsivally dishonorable, notwithstand- ing its Jegaf character nga criminal assault, for which tho kicker might bo proceuded Aginst and punished, Now, elthor the offi- cers at West Point look upon the act of mutilating Whittaker as not In itself dishon- orable, or thoy comult themselves to the proposition that the criminal whet placed under oath and asked if ho ls guilty fs quite ready to adinlt the fact of Is guilt and take tho legul consequenees. ‘This theory of the credibility of evidence will be altogether new to veteran orhuinal lawyers and Judges of lnrge experienco in criminal jurisprudence, ‘They do not expect When the culprit charged with murder is plaved In the dock to testify in his own behalf, that ho will frankly admit that he did the deed, fho theory of the post"? Id dhimetrically opposed to the cur- Tent of human expertence, A third curlous developmentof the investi- gation {s the “general order” of Gen, Seho- field. In tho midst of the Inquiry he hastens to assure “the corps of caduts of his unshak- on falth in thelr honor and Intwgrity, and of his appreciation of thelr manly bearing un- der the grievous wrong and snjustica which thoy haye recently suffered.” As this gener- al order adinits that the butchery of Whit- taker, if committed by “some of thelr num ber,” was “an outrage upon the corps,” Jt senis the lps of the guilty, cadets, sluce con- fesston would not only.subjuct them to ox- pulston and prosecution jn the Courts, but disgrace the corps, Monce the inevitable af fect of the “general order” must bo to pro vent the voritleation of the theory of the post that “it the cadets are guilty they will admit it under oath.” It will be observed that the humiliation and sufferings of tha victim of the outrage do not recelye the slightest notice in the “order” of the commanding oflcer,- His utter cous secltonal strife oyor such an allotinent of the’ emipt for Whittaker Is.ag plain In the “or- der’ ns if referenca had been made to him therein as “nothing but a poor niggert”? Gen, Schofield grioves over tho wrongs of tho scores of white endets, “tho insults and indignitles heaped upon them,” but has no wort of commiseration for the bound, gagged, and mutilated colored endet. In coneluston the commanding General {fs “pleased to remove all restrictions hereto- fore Imposed by hls orders upon the usual privileges of cadets.” What thoao restric~ tlona wera we aro uninformed. ‘The pre- atunption fs that thay were prohibited from visiting Ryan’s saloon st Ulghland Falls with the purpose of getting drunk, In 1856 Gon.

Perhaps it was at that institutfon, under the slavery régime, that he learned the mens- ure of contempt which itis propor to moto out to the “nigger”? rome ANOTHER NATIONAL CONVENTION IN CHICAGO, Miss Susan B, Anthony, Viec-Presidentess at large, N.W.S. A. and Matilda Jostyn Gage, Chairwoman Executive Committee, N. W. 8, A., have issucd thelr call fora National Convention of “nll women who want to vote,” to bo held “June 3 1880, at 10.0. m., 220 and Bp.m,” and wo note with mingled feelings of surprise and consternation that It will be held In this city, or, ag it Is stated In the call with that charming particularity that always characterizes Susan, “at Far- well Intl, 48 Madison street, between Clark and La Salle, Chicago, Ill.,”"—n statement so expllelt tint there Is no danger any woman will lose her way in finding headquarters. ‘The program laid out by Susan and Ma- filda ty so ecomprehonsive as to oxeite ap- prehension, Not only every woman who wants to vote, but every woman who secs tho call, is carnestly invited tocome to this Convention. ‘There are In this country about 1,000,000 women who could vote if thoy were allowed. Supposing, in one of those woods which women haye sometimes and no one can explain, thoy should all tako a fancy to come!. Suppose half of them, or the hundredth part, or thousandth part, or ten-thousandth part of them should como, what would be done with them? We do nob learn that Susan and Matilda have nado any arrangemonts with railroads for transportation .or with hotels and lodging-houses for board, The hall Aecommodnations even scom Indicrously in- adequate, for o hall that seats about: 1,500 people fs hardly commensurate with « call tnt includes 9,000,000! It ts evident, how- ever, that Susan dovs not anticipate they will all come,—only 8,980,000 of them, ‘Iho remalning 20,000 she invites to send postal- cards, expressing regrata and at the same time demanding suffrage in the loudest pos- sible manner, After the Convention assembles, what thon? “Our delegates will proceed from this meot- Ing to the Republican Nominating Conven- tion to present our demand,’—the demand fora conalitutonal amendment granting the right of suffrage irrespective of sex. How are they to secure thelr demand? Susan Is equal to any cmergency, “Dy ovorwhelm- Ing force of numbers.” Here wo have tho situation then, Woe see the great procession of tho sisterhood, headed by Susan,—old ant young,» pretty and homely, short- hatred and long-haired, Jenn and fat, fleres and gentle, <Ainnzons and Iilics of the yalley, an army terrible with banners and gorgeous with parasola and green umbrellas, bandboxes, grip-sacks, and rotlenles, marching down Madison street to the Exposition Building, the front drawing unin solid phalanx around tho speaker's stand, with the renr resting somewhere near Dixon, demanding suffrage all along the ling, Orit may be that no such imposing array Will present Itself,-only Susan with her 20,000 postal-cards, headed by a band.of musle, entering the Convention, on easy match for 759 men, hurling her postal-cards avout In defiance, demanding the right of self-government by overwhelming force of numbers, for onc Susan B, Anthony to any 769 men Is heavy odds against the men, Wo do not belleve, however, the struggle will bo so one-sided as the Vice-Presidentess at Large of tho N. W. S.A, seems to imag- fue. Tho 750 politicians and Presldent-makers wilLnot yleld without desperate struggle. ‘They will notify her in thunder tones that thoy are busy and she must enll some other day, ‘or, taking refuge bohind that cunning female strategy which avoids unpleasant callers, they will notify thelr deorkeeper to hifofn her there ls no one at home. If sho’ gains admission, then thoy will demand to know for whoin they intend to vote. Lf they are going to vote the Democratis ticket, as the Inherent quality of female obstinacy Which makes n woman desirous of doing Just the thing which her husband don’t want her to do would probably tempt thom to do, then thoy would have to go over to the Demoorats, who, In thelr present desperate strait, would promise anything, ‘They would thon domand to know categorically from Miss Susan B, Anthony, not so much her views as to the third-term polley, but as to tho generat term business, as she has never yet had or been in favor of having one term with any man, It worst comes to worst, peaceably If they can, forclbly if thoy must, the delegates muat refugo to be captured by the overwhelming force of numbers, and show thelr devatlon to principle elther by tho rout of the enemy or death at thelr posts, Upon genera! principles the Suffragists will be welcome here, as tholr presence i conalderable numbors will wdd to the general Milarity and breeziness of the city, and in- crease tho business of tho shopkeepers, ns unquestionably the great majority of them, when not wrestling with the inherent rights of the Amoriean citizen, will exercise that ine herent right of the American woman,— namely: shopping,—and the dry-goods stores, millluers, and candy-shops will be the galn- er, Undoubdteilly the boys In-Iarga nume bers will alsa improve the opportunity to ileluge Susan with -postal-cards demanding suffrage in the lsguise of persecuted ant trampled-town-tnto-the-dust and shacklo- bound sisters, Looking the matter ayer in all Its bearings, perhaps there is no cause for alarm, When Susan finds that the 20,000 postal-carda dwindlo down ‘to twenty, and that of tho milllons of women who seo her eal and are urged to come possibly a hun- dred will do so, she will came to the deolsion that the women of America aro not cast in her mold, and do net pant and thirst for sulfrage as she docs, So come on with your Conyontion, Susan. ‘Tho more the mer- rier, only Jet us down casy, and don't draw Jt too strong vn the Tyrant Man, ‘To the Editor of Ine Chicago IWidune, Monts, Grundy Co,, UL, April 92—-Will you ploase inform me, through your paper, how inany Republican Btate Conventions published anti-third-torm resolutions four years ago?
