to the thing, and had made up their minds to wait patiently for something definite, They were deter- mined to take the Axnaup’s advice and “keep cool.” Gtill there wes unabated interest in the great doubt of he day, and speculation was rife as to what was likely to be the result. “Will the democrats count — out in the three doubtful States, or wi the republicans count Tilden in? that’s the question,” said a broker as he harangued a little group of friends, there Wasa great inugh at his expense; at whicn of democrats on the street showed, to his mind, that democrats did not know bow to count, and so Tilden would fail to get elected if he depended on their arithmetical powers. Another brok lean, replied that the democrats down So’ well as their democratic tical brethren in this city. “Bus they don’t do it im the same way as Yo ‘ = a democratic gg = ‘ou steal = everythin; get your and then want fo Nola son to office so on, we won't ebance.” There was a good of Str oand shere oa the street, but the this kind of fun bi Dulls and bears rally did not look at the situation of affairs as vy means one to be treated as a fanny aftair. There was an evident general impression shat the situation was a very critical one, and that the Jeast attempt on the part of either party in the South 0 cheat would be productive of serious consequences, GovERNoR TILDEN’S RESIDENCE. e The usual number of visitors called at Governor Tilden’s house on Gramercy square yesterday, among them being Messrs, Manton Marble, Clarkson N. Pot- ler and Edward Cooper. The Governor soemed to be In very good spirits during the entire day, and cx- Pressed complete confidence of his election. He has evidently had no doubt on the subject since Tuesday Bight, and was tly more confident yesterday inne apy ae ince election day. He received, of course, a large number of despatches during the day, cy the tenor of each of them tended to strongipen 18 confidence. Few people assembled about Governor Tliden’s resi- dence yesterday, and the vicinity was nearly as quiet as in ordinary times. The Goverser expressed an intention of taking a ride on horseback in the afternoon, and gave orders for bis saddie horse to be equipped. His fine bay horse was Soon after brought to door, properly parnenress but, during the interim, Mr. Manton Marble arriv at the bouse, and was invited to accompany the Governor during recreation. On this account a Hight spring wagon was sent ior, and his guest were driven through far as Mount St, Vincent. Governor Tiiden was recog- nized by nearly everybody whom he along the route of his ride, and bad to resurn many salutatio: A HERALD reporter called at Governor Tildes house last evening, but the Governor was too busy to beseen, Mr, Smith, Mr. Tilden’s secretary, said that the Governor was quite sure of the domocrats having carried the three doubtful Southern Stat nd tbat if fair counts of the votes was held in thi tes there ‘was no doubt about them. Mr. Smith thought that Governor Tilden apprehended nothing fraudulent if tbe committee of gentlemen who have been requested to visit the South do so and aro pi t the count as roposed. The despatches receiv the house dur- be yesterday were in purport the same as those re- ceived by the National Democratic Committee, Should there be any grounds of suspicion of fraudulent count- ing on either side it should be reported and denounced at once. No man worthy the office of President should be willing to hold if “counted in’? or placed there by any fraud. Hither party ean afford to be disappointed in the result, but the ountry cannot afford to have the result tainted by the auepicion of illegal or false returns. U.S GRANT. THE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS. There was absolutely no excitement at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel yosterday. The location of the private room of tho National Committee being known only to @ few chosen ones, thero were necessarily fow visitors, No new despatches were recetyed from tho Southern States, and matters remained in about the same shape as they did the night before. Many despatchos were eived asking Jor the situation of affairs. Tho re- r «plies all claimed the election of Hayes. There was no change ip the sentiment of the National Committee, 1+ being positively ‘asserted that Hayes 1s elected, ¥. P. BANKS’ OPINION General N. P. Banks, M.C., in conversation last evening with a representative of the Hxratp, said that he had nos the slightest doubt of the election of Governor Hayes. “A fair vote,” and he was sure ‘the republican party wanted nothing else,” would give the States of Louisiani Florida and Bouth Carolina to Hayes an Wheeler. No fave = man, thought the General, would tlaim that the colored people would vote the demo- cratic ticket, They, with the white republicans, would certainly give a republican majority. The sending of troops to the Southorn States was eminently proper, aud if they bad been sent sooner it would have been better. Their presence will insure a ‘air canvass, and @ fair canvass will unq lonably elect Hayes. z AT THE LIBERTY STREET HEADQUARTERS. ‘There was considerable excitement at the democratic headquarters over a report that South Carolina had been conceded by the republicans to have gone demo- cratic, The jubilation was naturally very great on the part of the crowd of democrats who were om hand to got the latest news. The following despatches wero received during the day :— ‘THOMASVILLE, Ga, Nov. 1% 1876, W. T.

It was noticeable that the crowds were greater in front of the democratic offices than in front of the republican offices, The general feeling of the republicans is that Widen bas fairly carried a majority of the ral votes, and there is a growing dis- ion to construe the delay in getting at decisive Fests as a desperate move on the part oi manag- @r8 % Governor Hayes’ campaign.

Geo aul AN INTERESTING LECTURE. BACE EDUCATION OR HEREDITARY CULTURE—A | FIFTEEN THOUSAND YOUR LECTURE BY PROFESSOR S, ROYCE, Asmail but refined audience gathered at Chickering Hall last night to liston to a lecture from Professor 8. Royce on “Race Education or Hereditary Calture.” ‘The lecturer commenced with the declaration that edu- cation was a vast subject, which, embracing the world of mankind, was to form the interest of the hour. Polished phrase and dreamy philosophy would not feed the hungry, pay private or public debt, or keep our goods in the great markets of the world, Writers and thinkers, according to their investigations, based their systems of education upon religious and philosophical principles, as godlikeness, duty, humanity, usefulness, happiness and so on. And. yet the fact was that most children were not educated at all; they wero simply taught the thrve rules. Many were taught to get along in the world, no matter how the world might get along, and 4 smal! minority were educated in schools devoted to the promotion of learn- ing, but regardiess of the advancement of humanity, while our deuominational institu. tions ‘cared more for the propagation of their peculiar tenets than for anything else. Only ‘he education of the fewest childrea was founded upon the study of the human faculties or aimed at thetr im- Provement, and the education of none took in the whole of life and mankiod. The principle he ventured to advance was the result of careful study of the social condition of our people, and he maintained that the general tendencies of mankind were to deterioration, and that they must be counteracted by race education, which aimed at race amelioration, Statistics, he claimed, putit beyond all possibility of doubt thata @eterioration of the physical, mental and moral tone of mankind, rooted in the nature of man, and in the structure of society, was undermining the race. Many Utopian thqories had been advanced, yet nothing but @ race, ameliorating education could stop humanity in its downward career, Even if wo dis trusted the complex theory of statistics, we could not close our eyes to the great historic fact of the decay of empires, Egypt, Assyria, Greece, Carthage, Rome, the Byzantine impire and the Saracens, were all illustrations of the de- toriorating tendencies inherent in an education that wis directed its effort act that deteriorating tendevcy could delay the death ef anation, Despotisms, aristocracies, democ: in short, different forms of government, had dif- ferent vicious tendencies, and so had the different pur- suits, such agriculture, manufacturing and com- different stages of civilization, And ‘each of these varying conditions a totally dill ent’ system education had to teract difforest or even opposite —_tenden: cles of degeneracy. As the masses, whose improvement and happiness are the aim of society, de- teriorated through their unfavorable social position, education must directly alm to counteract it Paupe ism, with all the misery and barbarity inseparat from it—drunkennoss, crime, insauity, a growing mor- bidity, lending through heredity to race, deterioration anda feariul mortalty among young and old; such were the tendencies which surrounded us on all’sides, and must be combated by practical and efficient edu- cation, Ho claimed that our mental powors had attained their present state of perfection through the cumulative or hereditary effect of a thousand genera- tions, and must, therefore, be capable of hereditary improvement in the futuro, as they had been in the past, Education to be hereditary in its effocts must be something more or different from storing the memory. Education, he claimed, was the constitutional improve- ment of the whoio man. Man and not scholarship wus the aim of education, He needed train- ing, which must be gradual, habitual and spon- tancous. It must take place in the formation period of earliest infancy, in order toimprové the very or- ganization, so that it might work rightly and automati- cally through life. Education must be functional and effect the organizativn of man if it was to be neredi- tary. Education, when hereditary in its effects, con- stituted aftruly national education. An education which effected the coustitutign of man through political training in the formation of in- fancy, formed man’s character, and if the training was of the right sort it made him a good man, and a like training of the whole people formed a noble national character. This training, be claimed, meant a practical training of the eye, the ear, the hand, the intellect and the will in the formative period ot early infancy, That produced an effective, industrious individual, and @ like gen- eral training rendered a nation industrious, inventive and prosperous. He would have all children reared to a knowledge of some userul senterment, ores in connection with all the so-called higher studies, and by so domg he felt sure that not only the uation but the individual would be improved. Race education,’ he said, put a new emphasis on Brougham’s celebrated word, and en- dowed it with the form of an almost fresh inspiration ; and s0, comforted and comforting, we call to the suffering masses, “Despair not, the schoolmaster is abroad,” he 18 intelligent, is in daily con- tact with your poor children; bis labors aud inspiratious are for you; your welfare is his success, bis worldly prospects are most modent, Your prosperity is all he works for, and 16 1s the high- est roward of bi st ardent labors, Trust him; he will yet conquer {or you the Sphinx, answer her queries and solve the problem that presses upon you hard to-day, Trust your teacl and the bent you have.
