But these fond anticipations are not being realized. The débris of slavery remain. Reconstruction has engendered troublesome questions re- lating to the civil and political status of the emancipated class, Upon these the great body of tho Republicans are of one mind, while the Democrats aro split into multiform factions, Atone period it looked as if the policy of the party would ultimately favor Degro enfranchisement. Then it seemed if it was eager to exterminate the entire race. ‘We saw Gen. Blair in his famous letter, written an tha ave of the Tammany Convon tion, breathing out threatenings and slaugh. ter against the carpet-lag governments, whose corner-stone is negro suffrage, At the same moment we found Gov. Seymour devising a platform for Judge Chase to stand upon, which recognized the right of the frocd- men to the ballot, to the fullest extent. We turn to the platform that was uctually set up, and which Gov, Seymour now cham. pions, and we discover that it declares tho re- construction acts of Congress, and the govern- ments erected under them to be usurpation: unconetitutional, revolutionary, and void. ‘The shouts that greeted its adoption all over the South had hardly melted away, when the loading citivs and towns of the reconstructed States were all alive with Democratic negro clubs, Democratic mass meetings managed chiefly by negro oratora,and Democratic bar Lecuvs, where the white Democracy advertised their readiness to interchange dishes with negro Democrats, and even eat from the same plates with them rather than have a split in the party, Our eyes had hardly ceased dilating in amazement, and dripping with tenderness at this spectacle, alike as founding and affecting, when we were star. tled from our propriety by the expulsion fiom the Georgia Legislature, on tho flimsi est pretext, of twenty-four colored members, thus inaugurating the doctrine that “this is 8 white man’s government,” in a manner more summary than satisfactory to the ex pelled members, or even to considerate men anywhere. We might multiply evidences of want of aniformity of sentiment and purpose among the Democracy on the negro question; but these will suffice to show that there is great danger of their losing the entire negro vote for lack of a settled policy that shall either win them by concession, or coerce them by terror, or wheedle them by flattery, and thus secure their ballots for Seymour and Blair, er,on the other hand, carry out the princi ple involved in the action of the Georgia Legislature, and which has been so often hinted at, if not openly advocated, by driving them wholly from the polls. At all events, the party must promptly adopt aline of mea. sures that shall have covsistency at loast to recommend it, and that shall be applied anl- formly in every State, or it will suffer ship- wreck through the divided counsels and dou- ble dealing of those who assume to direct its course, teen Training for Teachers. The schools, public and private, are just about to resume their useful labors for the sutumn and winter, No doubt they will all be crowded with pupils, especially the public schools, In these the great mass of the peo- ple are particularly interested. They edu- cate their children, and the proper training of the teachers who conduct them is a matter of importance to thousands upon thousands. The scholarship of these teachers, and thei practical acquaintance with the art of teach- ing, are perhaps not all that could be wished ; and yet they merit high commendation, The great excellence of our public school system isin a large degree their work, and the credit of it is justly due to them, In one important respect, however, they are deficient. Though familiar with the means and appliances of teaching, they are not sufficiently acquainted with the laws of health and hygiene ; eonse- quently they are apt to overwork both their pupils and themselves, One important problem of edueation eon. sists in ascertaining how much knowledge can be instilled into the pupil without ovor- tasking the mind or injuring the health, Our teachers at present neglect the latter subject, and each one estimates his or her succes by the extent of instruction given, without re- ward to its efficts on the pupil. Hence we find schools with Hl ventilated rooms, exces sive atadies, and other evils which are very detrimental to health. Though the blame of these is not altogether to be Inid to tho teacher, the latter is the only agent through whom a reform ean bo instituted. What is needed is to require all teachers to possess a thorough knowledge of physlology | and hygiene, and a rational understanding of the terrible results of transgreasing the laws of health, We cannot afford to educate ehil- dren at the expense of thoir phys'cal strength ; but this truth is neglected by many teachers. We trust that now at the opening of a now season we may have at least the beyin ning of a reform in this dircetion. - —— The Chinese Embasay. The Chincso Embassy, headed by Mr. Burlingame, left our shores yesterday for England, It will be interesting to note what kind of @ reception they mect with when they arrive at their destination, If the growling and fault-finding spirit which the English press haw constantly dis- play while wo wero entertaining our distingulshed guests is consistently followed up, our British cousina will give them but a cold welcome, They will not present them with addresses, nor open to them their royal palaces, nor lavite them to sumptuous but indigestible repasts, nor make a show of them at public mectings, nor in any way condescend to treat them as they treat men whom they account worthy of honor, They will simply listen to what Mr. Burlingame has to sy, and then politely bow the whole company out, without more ado. But consistency is a virtue which nations, as well as individuals, cannot always afford thus concentrated, To this unequal distribation they attribute much of our pavperi«m and crime, and suggest, a8 a remedy, the taking of the sur. plus of one locality to fill up the deficiency of snother, The idea is a plausible one, and | whether or not it be worth the consideration of rkilful, -bodied men, it is certainly well | for those who cannot support themselves here to try another and more promising quarter, - —— Gov. Seymour thinks that financial ques- tions ere not made prominent enough in the Vresidential canvass, ‘The attempt to give greater importance to financial matters cannot succeed, The eleciion will be decided without much regard to them. Questions growing out of the rebellion, and all alive with its passions, will determine the Iesue, ‘The Democrats bave made it so. Hud they nomi- nated Judge Crass, on his conservative platform, itwould have been different, But with Frawx Bram running on his platform of revolution, men will not pay much attention to “ bonds, greenbacks, gold, the public fuith, and the publie credit.” This is Frank's own view of the case, as he expressed it in his celebrated Browdhead let. ter, aud it is the view of the pec In 1878 they probably consider finaucial subjects, Now they will not, Binckley has left us D! ved and de. sorted by his employers, thw in his efforts to blacken the character of Mr. Rolling, he has ingloriously departed from public view. It is generally believed that he wus covertly set on by Mr. Johnson or Mr. MeCulloeh, or both of them, to getup charges and establish some show of proof ogainst Mr. Rollins; but if se, he made such business, that they made huste to disclaim all responsibility for hin acts, He came here with a great flourish, and by some hocuspocus got into Court as the proseou tor of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and others, on charges of conspiracy to defraud the Government. Some days were wasted in a profit. less investigation, which Binckley proved nothing except his wicked —_ fute Yesterday the farce was abruptly termi: kicking him out of Court, It scoms that in or- der to determing his status, « despateh w: to the Attorney-General at Washington by Mr. Courtney, the District Attorney here, who de- clared that his self-respect would not permit him to longer associate with the said Binckley. The reply was that Binekley was not employed by the Attorney-General, nor was it known that he acted under authority from any Department. Th les. to indulge in, ‘The British have got it pretty clearly into their heads that the treaty we have made with China, through Mr. Burlingame, is in some way, they cannot exactly see how, going to be of great commercial advantage to us, and, rather than lose the chance of securing the samo possible Lenefit for themselves, they will not refuse a little harmless hospitality to the mediums through whom it is likely to come. So we shall expect to hear that, after all the abuse and ridicule which have been heaped upon us by their newspapers, the English peoplo will exert themselves to produce the best impression they can upon their new visitors, Mr, Burlingame will be invited to wait upon the Queen, and his in- torviews vith the Minister of Foreign Af fairs will Le neither few nor brief. The end of the whole business will be that a treaty substantially like ours will be made between England and China, and then we Ml hear noend of self-congratulation at the result. Capt. Marryat tells a story ofa pig and a sagacious dog occupying the same kennel and feeding out of the same dish, The nel was so small that the later comer of the two found no protection for half his body, while the rations allotted to both were any- thing but sufficent, Onecold night piggy had got the inside berth before the dog thought of shelter, When the latter came and saw how things stood, he went off to the plate out of which he and the pig were usually fed, and, turning his tail to the kennel, be- gan to champ his teeth as if he were eating something. Piggy heard the sound, at first ineredulous, buat soon became convineod of the reality of the presonce of victuals of which eho was denicd share, Grocd was too much for prudence, Forgetting her warm position, she made a dash for the plate, and as she did so, the dog slipped into her place, So England, when she thinks of the profits we are to make out of the Chinese, imaginary though they be, will lay aside her proud reserve, and contend with us as eagerly as did the pig with the dog. Whether # similar result follows or not, her condescension will be none the less remarkable, fee The Hon, Gronae 8. Houston of Alaba- wa, long a momber of Congress, is not only aman of eminent ability, but of moderate and vative character, During the rebellion he took little part in public affuira, and remained at his home near Athens, criticising the conduct of the Confederate authorities with the utmost freedom, and in several cases was treated with great consid. eration by Union Generals, He has just made a speceh at Florence, at a Democratic meeting, a part of which was particularly colored inen in his audience, ya the Florence Index, “in the most pointed words, that the man who votes for Gant and Couvax is an enemy of his and of the white peo- ple of the South, and that Ae intended to treat all that 90 vole us enemies. When a man like Mr, Houston employs such intimidation as the means of controlling the suf- frages of the electors, there must be a very un- wholesome state of feeling in the community. It is to be remarked, also, that we have uo evidence of the existence of feeling so bitter and so des- perate prior to the publication of Gen, Buain’'s Broadhead letter, and its virtual adoption as a partof the Democratic platform, ———— The Citiz Association has iasued a cir- cular inviting public attention to the advantages of the Labor Bureau, opened, at its recommenda. tion, by the Commissioners of Charities and Cor- rection, on the Ist of July last, ‘The plan of the Bureau is described as follows: “Books are opencd at the office of the Commis- sioner, in whieh are r and dences of able-bodied papneante for employment, their ages, places of nativity, length of residen the city, trade oF yor ether married gle, the bamber of prrsous dependent upon th Support, aud the healt, age, aud sex of euch of such persons, “A record is made of applicenta for laborers, of thelr residences, the kinds of labor required, the nationality, sex, and age of the persons desired, whether married or single, with or without tainilies, and the limit of time from date of application ii which such persons may be forwarded, The expense Of forwarding iaborers is buine by the party making application fur them,” In recommending benevolently disposed persons to avail themselves of these arrange- ments, in assisting applicants for relief, theAsso- ciation very justly points out the great number of unemployed laborers in this city, and the equally great need of such laborers in tho West States, They quote the remarks of several Western Governors on the subject, one of them, Governor Fletcher of Missouri, betng repre- sented as saying that his State alone can furnish homes for 50,000 at once. They also cite the fact that nearly one-half our population lives in cities, while not more than one-fourth of it should be patch practically en every ove turned the cold shoulder to and he, with a grand theatrical flourish, rshed out of Court, exetaiming, “New York shall hear from me!” Very possibly Now York will hear from the great B. 5 we hear fru very often, and certainly have no reason to ex- pect Binckley to prove an exception to the rule, a The Democrats secm to Le taking our ad vice with regard to Pennsylvania. ce that the Hon. 8, 8, Cox and thy busybodies and fools Mon, J.

Without going into the merits of this particular that the facility with whi imprisoned for defrauding the Government are restored to liberty is not calculated to impress the great army of petty officers with any ex regurd for honesty or fear of punishment, As as fraud can be atoned for by money, itis only « question of how much to steal to cover the fine and law exp wvicted and ial , aud leaves handsome profit for the shrewd operator, —— Tho meanness of the railway management between this city and Bullulo, via the New York Central, Harlem, and Hudson River Railroads, bas 10 proverbial since the present officers took itin charge, We print this morning a letter from one of our merchants, complaining of the petty annoyances to which night passengers from Al- by rail are subjected, in order to compel a to pay an extra feo for a berth in a sleopi All will remember how ehurlishly Mr, Van eee car, derbilt behaved, before gaining control of the tral road, about exchanging passengers, freight, and baggage with that line, All summer he has done his best to drive business from the Albany day and night boats, Whereas Western passengers got in formbrly by or befure 8 o'clock for the night boats, the trains now arrive either at 8:80 oF 9:20 P.

Tt but en- US Sa Some of the particulars of a very curious interview which occurred on the Sist ultimo are reported by the journals of Washington, The parties were the Vrosident of the United States, the venerable old Secretary of the Navy, and a young lady named Miss Millie Turnour, whose profession is to perform upon the trapeze, Where these distinguished persons met is not mentioned, but as it appears to have been in a garden, possi- bly it was in the fing, grassy, and shady grounds behind the White House and near the broad Po- tomac, “Though ® drovching rain,” says the reporter, “was prevailing at the time, the little trapeze performer performed for about half an hour on the trapeze in honor of the distinguished gevtlemen,’”” When she returhed to the pavilion where they bad remained seated during the whole time, safe outof the rain, we are told that “President Jolnson and Secretary Welles each presented her with a bouquet and @ kiss’ The President politely remarked on making bis dona- tions “My ehild, God bless you,” We dare say it may have been a great satisfuc- tion to the drenched and panting little gtrl to be kissed by two dignitaries like Mr, Jobnson and Mr, Welles, though for our own part, if we were condemned to suffer osculation, we sbould not choose such dreary old fogies for our execution- ors, It is also agreeable to a patriotic mind to find that the wish which the President puts up on such an occasion is not only polite but pious, But we can't help thinking that he would have given a more sigual evidence of real piety, if he had put off the exhibition to some pleasant day. To ex- pose a little girl for half an hour tos drenching rain, while she is going through with her danger. its on the slippery trapeze, does not seem of religion or even of an ordinary feeling of humanity. — From many indications it seems probable that a large ase of English emigration ix about to take place, Upward of one million per- sons are reported as out of employment in Great Britain, and the attention of all classes is turning toward emigration asa means of relief.
