Ho would better leave tho discussion of this subject to the theologians, DOOLITILE AND GARFIELD. Simon Cameron always entertained and always freely expressed a soverelgn con- tempt for the eluss whieh he emphatically styled “those damnod literary fellers,” He would never havo anything todo with then, and it wonld have been better for ex-Senntor J. R. Doolittle had he been equally careful. When Mr. Doolittle was in the Senate tho War was raging, and after the Union troops hiad obtained control of the Mississipp! River there was a groat demand for “permits” to trade in cotton, Cotton was at that tine sell- ing for n dollar and more a pound, though 1b could be purchased at the South fora fow cents, ‘Lhe trouble was to obtain permisston to buy tt and to move ft to the North, Con- sequently n cotton permit was itself a fort- une, and these cottun permits were only to be obtained with greatdiMfeulty and through great Influence, At that tine thera was a clerk in the Treas- ury Department named Conatty, who thought he would lke to have one of these hermits, Ie nppiled to Doolittle, who was then an extreme and ultra Republican Sena- tor, and In favor of smashing everything In the shape of State-rights and the Democratic party, Conatty, backed by Doollttle, ob- tained, after much diticulty and delay, 2 pertuit to trado at the South in cotton, A few days after he recelved tho pavers he inet Doolittte Ina horse-car in Washington City, and told hin of the good news. Doolittle congratulated iim on his fortune, aud when leaving the enr requested Mr. Conntty to call on hint next morning at the Senute coin- inittee-room. Conatty was prompt; the Senator was graciots; and as soun us thoy were nlone the Senator unfolded the scheme for thelr mutual beneflt. What took place wns subsequently related by Conatty as fol- lows: Teulied the next morning, in accordance with his request. On that ocension he suid substan- tally: “You hive a Roce thing, and will make a pilo of money.” did not know what ho meant, Ho thon sald to mo in substance: * You Anow Tim a poor mun, and hive not mado an, money since I haye been in publie ite. 1 thin you can afford to let mo share in: the procecds: And bo none the poorer.” Aud with this he handed me the letter hereto attached, murked lotter No. 1, whieh ho snlit ho td scribbled off, wishing nielo copyandscud titohimasiay own. Ab the sane tiie he handed mo fetter No, 2, hereto. attached, dated the following day, which bo auld would be bls reapanse to iny goneruus of- fer contained in letter No, 1.

Doouirrer, Some days aftor this “correspondence” Conatty recelved an additional letter from Doolittle, introdueing him to Gen, Binks, then commanding the Southern Department audin control of the cotton-buying district of Loulstana, and asking for him facilities in trading in cotton, Doollttle offered further Chat if Conatty would remit some of his profs he (D.) would invest the money for hii In bonds, and, with more than ordinary Christlan unctlon, added: “May God bless and prosper you will bo the carnest prayer of yours sluceroly, J. &, Doolittle.” When Mr. Doolittle §n 1873 started out fn the Greeley campaign denonneing scandals and wbuses of the Republicans ha was con- fronted by photo-lithogtaph copies of the origins of all theso letters, and the Domo- cratis National Committeo found it advisable to cancel all of Doollttle’s appotntments to rapenk, It was considered too gross an insult to popular Intelligence ant decency to have thig man denouncing the Republican party with oficial dishonesty with the Conatty coutract published wherever he went, ‘This samo Doolittle, with the facts of his contract with the holder of a cotton permit, by which, in consideration of his aldasn Senator in obtaining that valuable contract, he wasto have one-fourth of the profits, Is now perambulating the State of Ohlo de- nouncing Garticld with selling his Influence da the De Golyer bualness, ‘Tho partners in the Do Golyer business had a quarrel, and went to law, and Doolittle was employed ns attorney, Haylng a personal hatred of Gar- field, ho used [ils position as attorney Ina case to which Garfleld wus notand could not boa party to do what he could to gratify his personal hatred by abusing him.

The Meridian (Miss.) Mercury takes oceaston maliciously to nilsrepresent tho project and condem the purpose In viow by the following comment upon oneof President Mayes’ recent speeches hon the subject, Referring to his statement that there is much for the General Govern: ment to do before some of tho States ean educate themselves,” the Southern organ ‘That means that the Federal Government, disregarding the rights of tho Stites und the feellugs of their citizens, shall invade them with tun ary of achoolmnsters to educate the Tents of the South to read, write, and ciphor, and vote the Republican ticket. It is mora reconstruction, and of the most offensive kind, aaitisnt tho sume time tho least authorized. Whon the Federal Gavernmont, with Garileld ns Prestdont, takes charge of the cducation of the negrocs of the South, and, as Mr. Hayes ox preases it, earrica education to every negro's door, it willie time for those whites who have bean opposed to tho Mercury's views of spocd- ing the exodus tu got und exodust thornscives, ‘Phat will intensify tho nogro's disngreonbionens, and fix his worthlesness boyond doubt and cavil, With tho grip the Northern Mothodlst Eplscopnt Church bus an the negro, superadd an ariny of Yankee schoolinasters, nnd sehoulme'ame, chosen by strangers and onemics, and you who: bave a recollection of educnting the negracs under the auspices of the Freedinan’s Burcatr imay have u faint idea of what it would be, but be assured it would be made worse, Tho color-ling -would be drawn ngnin closer anid blacker, and all peace between the races would. be atau end, The animus of this Southern comment is furthor betrayed by . the statement that “When o State gives up the education of Its. youth, if abdicates Its self-respect,” ant that “As parents are too proud for strangers to rear their children and alienate thetr at- fecttons, 80 should a State be too proud to alow another Government, haying no re- sponsibility forthe way in which she edu- cates her children, do that for her and wean their affectlons away from their own Stato.” Any one unfamiliar with the elremnstances would come to-tho conclusion, after reading this comment, that tho Southern editor was writing of some forelgn Government's effort to interfere in the educational matters of tho South, and we have io doubt the Mississippi editor had precisely that thought In his mind when writing of the Natlonal Government. The project for Nationallzing tho public- School system, to the extent of providing the ineans for its equal oxtension Into all parts of the Unton, has heen wantonly misrepresented. by the Mertdinn Mercury, 18, Indeed, most National projects are when brought before the Southern people. ‘The suggestion enme from ‘Tne Ciicado 'Tripuxk some months ago that the taxes on whisky, which the Southern- ers want torepeal altogether, should continue to be collected and turned over to the States, pro rata, for the behetit of public schools, under certain conditions which should guar- antec equal rights and fucllitles to all classes, races, and sects, President Muyes, in hls reeent public addresses, has given his np- provul té this project in general terms, with- out enterlug into the details which wero mapped ont by Te True. When, there- tore, tho Southern newspapers seek to con- vey the lmpression to thelr readers that tho . scheme contemplates the establishing of pub- Ne schools under the ausplees of the General Government, aid Is designed especially for tho Instruction o£ tho negroes in Northorn senthnent, they are guilty of deliberate per- version and deception. ‘The agoney of the General Goverment In- tho proposed. Nationalization of the publie school system woul bo confined to the col lection and distribution of certain amount of revenug for the malntenance of such schools In tho varlous States, If thls rev- enue were contributed by the consumers of whisky and beer, there would be a peculiar fitness In the disposal thercof, because tho indulgence of appetites which noboily con- tends to be useful or elovating would then be made to furnish a certain compensation by contributing to the cause of educa- tion, It would also’ be apparent to everybody that n school revenue could bo obtaiped In this manner with infinitly less burden to the people than by the present sys. tem of direct taxation on real and personal property, ‘Cho tax on whisky and beer ia really pald in trifling sums by those who drink, It is not felt oven by those who pay the tnx, and of course cannot be oppressive upon those who do not use the artieles which ure taxed, ‘The compensation which the General Goy- ermnont would recelve for the collection and distribution of such revenue would be two- Tuli. First, 1t hag become pretty evident that, In certain sectlons of the country, the great mass of rowing citizens will bo de- peiyed of the benefits of free common. sehool education unless the General Govern. nent shall provide tho means, and tho Ke- public ennnot afford to allow Its citizens to mature in ignoranes and thon excretse rights and privileges which should apportatn to In- telligence, and which require at least the rudiments of education to be properly em- ployed. Honco It will be a good investment for tho General Government to provide for something Ike an equalization of the public- school system, In the second pluce, the Gen- eral. Governinont will thus ve enabled to Impose conditions upon the States decopting its reyenuo which shalt prohibit discrimination against race, condition, and religion, and shall prevent any section or State from abusing the pubile schools by educating {ts youth In tho doctrines of secession and treason, as many of the text- books now used In tho public schools of tho South actually do, Perhaps both these ren- sons will incite antagoulam to the project aniong the sectlonallsts of the South, but tha Southorn States will novertholess aval! them- solyes of tha ald whon It shall be offered to them, and the result will bo topromote educa- ton among the poor in spite of thelr opposi- tlon thereto, Jt laa gluring error to suppose that a proj- ect for extending National ald to public schools is intended to assist the nogroes nlone te learn the “three 1s," which seem to be held In sa wuchgontempt at the South, Itts designed morely that tho negroes shall recelve thelr full share of the benelits grow- ing out of Natlonal asslstance, and that they shall not be excluded by local Inws from participation In the puoile-school factiitles, As a mattr of fact tho great mass of the Southern whites need new educa- tlonat facilities even more thon tho blacks need them. ‘There are hun- dreds of thousands of children be- Jongtng to families known as " poor whites? in the South who are growing up in denser Ignoranes than the children of the blacks. Ever since the War the negracs lave evineed astrong desire for Information and common: school learning, which they were prevented from obtaining during tho days of slavery, Tho trouble has been, and is still, that they have never bech able to secure facitities com monsurate with thelr yearning for extuention, and that they have been excluded by diserim- Inating tnws and practices even from n faly share of tho grossly Inadequate factlilles that have been provided. ‘The provaillng South ern Idea ty expressed by the Mereury when it says that education © will Intensify the hegro's disagreeableness and fix hls worth lesness beyond doubt and cayil”” ‘The notion is nlegney fromthe timo of slavery. ‘fhe Southerners have acted in accordanes with this thgpry ever since the local governments missed Into the control of the former slive- drivers aid ex-Confederates, and the Nation eannot afford inuch tonger to Ignore the wultiptiention of eltizens in one section of the country who haye not the rudiments of edu ention to protect thomselves against decep- tlon and persecution. Tne probablo effects of M. de Freyctnet’s Montauban speech were clearly outlined in the Paris correspondenco of the London Tones une itor date of Sept. 0, The correspondent sald notonly that the Do Freyelnet Ministry would full, but that {t would be to tho Prime Minister's ndvantuge to have ft fall) For he falls now. de- fending tegallty, inasmuch as the religious de- erees could not be enforced {inpurtially against fll tho non-Jesult orders, but must nave been enforced arbitrarily against some of thom, By tnklug this ground and going down with it, M. de Freyeinct “remains,” to use the words of the correspondent, “na force in store for tho Moderate Republica, a Cabinet in reserve, thoruughly Mepublican, without any tinge of reaction,;—a thing wanted by tho Repubtie, whtels is alwoys pressing forward and resorting to moro and more advanced Cabinets," As to the reulity of the rupturo between De Freycinet and Gambetta, which is no longer questioned, the correspondent was equally positive. Ho reports Gambetta na having suid to everybody who Spoke to him on the subject of the Montauban. Byeech: “One ought not to mike such declara- tlons without constulang ono's collengues.” De Froyeinet, itis furtbor safd, did not wish to act in hostility toGrunbetta; “ho simply wished tonct according to his honor and conselence.” ‘Tho day provious to his departure from Paris, De Froyelnet recelyed u visit from a trlend who lives in the country and whom he had not seen for some time.
