THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1880. uGod has not breathed the breath of life into the nostrils of the man, or set of men, who can again thwart and de feat the fairly and legally expressed will of this people mark, that "Hon.

The necessity for public education of the youth of the country, like Banquo's ghost will not "down" at any man's bid ding, and it will not do to say that this is thepoor man's measure. The richest man in Charlotte is, or ought to be, as much in favor of the general education of the masses of the people, as thepoorest.vag abond on the streets. In fact it has been the experience of the people of both the North and the West, where public education has become a part of the government of the States, that pub lic schools are a failure as long as they are carried on for the benefit exclusive ly of the poor, but that success in the highest degree comes, when through the better classes of the people the stand ards of the schools are raised, and they are favored by all classes of the people. A common maxim now is that public schools must bu of sufficiently high grade to attract all classes of society, to make theirbenefiis commensurate with their cost. ISecause this is not so, the public schools of North Carolina, as they are now carritd on, may be said to be failures in every sense of the word, and the five thousand, five hundred dol lars, now contributed for the public schools in Charlotte, does not yield that measure of benefit which its import ance would seem to indicate. According to the estimate made by Maj. Root. Bingham ' some years ago there were only two hundred and fifty students at college in North Carolina, out of the two hundred thousand young men and girls in the State whose ages would imply that they ought to be enjoying the advantages of our colleges, and not one young person in fifty was attending the higher classes of our schools, and the census of 1870 revealed the fact tha there were more persons in North Carolina, over the age of 21, that could neither read nor write, than in any State in the Union. Such facts are a lasting shame and disgrace to the past history of North Carolina, and a blot on our civilization. Shall we sit down quietly until the juggernaut of progress shall have crushed out the lit tle spark of vitality which we still have left V No! Let us have schools and col leges, reaching through all classes of society, and from the old field school to the collegiate grade, and because of the training influence that they exert in behalf of the best interests of society, and then let the management of these schools be in the hands of the most capable men, assisted if you please by the most Capable women in the com munity; to accomplish which every man should realize, to a certain extent, that a certain amount of responsibility rests on his own shoulders. The charge of bribery in the Wash-burne-Donuelly case before the House of Representatives, against Mr. Spring er, was not sustained when the matter was brought before that body by Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, on a question of personal privilege. The charge, it will be remembered, was that Springer received an offer of $5,000 for his in fluence and vote in favor of Donnelly. The Herald correspondent says, and others confirm the statement, that when he got through with Mr. Manning he received the hearty congratulations of almost all the members of both sides of the House. The battle of King's Mountain was fought on the 7th day of October, 1780, and the Battle of Guilford Court House was not fought until the 15th of the following March, something over six months. The length of time between the two battles, and their distance apart causes the reflection that the present generation is very much ahead of their grand-fathers. Under the same circum stances the two battles would be fought to-day within a week of each other. Out in Virginia, during the late con test between the States Stonewall Jack son taught the world some lessons in war which will not be forgotten soon, and among these was the necessity for striking quick, active blows, in rapid succession. The New York Herald prints oral ex pressions of opinion made to a repre sentative of that paper by nearly all the members of Congress from the three important States of Virginia, Louisiana and Mississippi as to the sentiments of their constituencies respecting the nomination of Mr. Tilden. The pretty uniform tenor of the statement is that, in the judgment of the Democrats of these three Southern States, it would be not merely impolitic, but fatal to put Mr. Tilden at the head of the Demo cratic ticket. Representative Armfield, of the sixth district, has introduced his bill relating to the collection of revenue. It provides for the abolition of the tax on spirits distilled from fruit, reduces the tax on spirits distilled from grain to twenty- five centa per gallon and provides that producers of leaf tobacco may sell the same in quantities of not more than ten pounds at a time without license. The women of New Rochelle, N. Y., had their first opportunity to vote for school trustees, last Monday, but not a single one appeared at the polls. One of the poll -holders accounted for the to tal absence of the -sex by referring to the fact that the statute allowed only those who were oyer twenty-one years old to vote. .. UV-J V'J ! The announcement pf the resignation of ;Bismarck is a shock' to the Old World, and will be the theme of themes for the (rreat newspapers; for weeks to come. In the light of present events, it is impossible t6 tell the significance of the step. Hale's Weekly shows very clearly by the published correspondence between Gov. Jarvis and'CoL Fitcli, for the "said Wallace and his associates," who made an offer to purchase the Western North Carolina Railroad, that the whole thing was a farce from beginning to end, exactly the view The Observer took of it when the proposition was made. Fitch was engineered by the Republicans in and out of the Legisla ture, with a view to offset the Best pro position and as a sort of stepping stone out of the difficulties in case the Best project should by any means fail. OoL Fitch could not, at any rate did not show his power of attorney for "said Wallace," nor even tell where he lived or carried on business. : Grant's friends are endeavoring to start a boom for him in Massachusetts, and it is reported that they are succeed ing. We apprehend that the third term will receive very little real support in the Bay State. FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. SYNOPSIS OF l'ESTEKDAl'S PRO CEEDINGS. Washington, April 7. Senate. The secretary of the Senate, Colonel Burch, called the Senate to order and read a note from Vice-President Wheel er, stating tnat he would be absent several days, and that the duty devolv ed upon the Senate of choosing a presi dent pro tempore. Wallace submitted a resolution that the Hon. Allen G. Thurman be chosen to preside during the absence of the Vice-President. Adopted. Thurman was escorted to the chair by Ferry, and on taking his seat thank ed the Senate for this renewed mark of their confidence and esteem. 4 Wallace submitted a resolution in structing the secretary of the Senate to inform the President of the United States and the House of Representa tives of the action of the Senate. Adopt ed. After the transaction of some unim portant business, Saunders submitted a resolution providing for inquiry into the expediency of removing the Santee Indians to the Ponca reservation in Ne braska. After considerable discussion the resolution went over. Saulsbury gave notice that he would to-morrow call up as a privileged ques tion the report of the committee on privileges and elections in the Kell 'gg Spofford case. The Senate then resumed the consid eration of the Ute Indian agreement. There was a general discussion of the whole Indian question, in which Kirk wood, Hill, White, Beck, Burnside, In galls, and others participated, pending the conclusion of which the Senate adjourned. House. The House having refused to dispense with the morning hour, the Speaker announced that the pending question was upon the reference of the bill authorizing the Secretary of War to contract with San Antonio and Mexi can Border Railroad company for the immediate construction of a railroad from San Antonio, Texas, to a point on the Rio Grande, at or near Loredo. After some discussion the bill was referred to the committee of the whole. Slemmons, of Ark., from the commit tee on railways and canals, reported the bill for the construction of railroad bridges at or near Shreveport and Mon roe, La. Referred to committee of the whole. Scales, of North Carolina, from the committee on the militia, reported the bill to organize and discipline the militia of the United States. Placed on the House calendar. McCook, of New York, asked leave to offer a resolution asking the Secre tary of War for information with re gard to the hazing of the colored cadet, Whitaker, at West Point military acad emy. Aiken, of South Carolina, objected. He said he represented the district from which Whitaker came, and was competent to see that the latter was protected. He thought it best to await the investigations of the West Point authorities, especially as the latest re ports seemed to show that it was a bogus outrage. . The House then went into commit tee of the whole on the army appro priations bill. The pending amendment of Sparks. of Illinois, with regard to the employ ment of contract surgeons, was re jected. Sparks said he should demand a vote in the House. The chair decided that he could not do so without permission of the gentleman in charge of the bill (Clymer). The latter said he would not promise to give such permission. bparfcs thought that as the amend mentcame from the committee on mil itary affairs, Clymer should allow a vote upon it in the House. Clymer said he had received no re quest to that effect from the committee on military affairs. bparks, advancing towards. Clymer in a threatening manner : "If the gentle man from Pennsylvania insinuates that that amendment does not come from the committee on military affairs he lies, and thut is all there is about it." Great confusion and excitement which the chair tried in vain to quiet. Clymer. "Oh.you cannot insult me." When quiet was restored, Sparks's words were read from the clerk's desk, and the committee rose and reported them to the House. Sparks explained that he was labor ing under excitement, and that if Cly mer did not intend to insinuate that he (Sparks) was trying to deceive the House, he would withdraw and apolo gize for the offensive words. Clymer disclaimed any intention of making any such insinuations, and the quarrel was amicably settled. After some further unimportant amendments to the bill, Sparks, of Illinois, by direction of the military committee, offered a supplementary section providing that no money ap propriated by the act shall be used in subsistance, equipment, transportation or compensation of any portion of the army to be used as a police force to keep the peace at the polls, at any elec tion in any State. Keifer, of Ohio, raised a point ofor der, pending the decision of which the House adjourned. COMMITTEES.

Tne Resignation off the Prince Sent fo the Emp of-er -Tlie Caue Which Broafht.lt About. . London, April 7. The Daily News in its leading article this morning hints that the Conservatives will-co-operate with the Home Rulers in order to de feat a Liberal administration. London, England, April 7 A Berlin dispatch says the Bundes ruth passed the stamp law, but with certain modifications. JThese were not agreeable to Bismarck, and he sent his resignation to the Emperor, who re fused to accept it, using the word "never." Bismarck again sent in hi3 resignation. saying that the vote in the Bundesruth was the sole ground for his action, but that his health was such that he considered it necessary to with draw from public life. Bismarck will confer with the Emperor to-day. The popular opinion is that he will remain in office. London, April 7. A Berlin corres pondent of the Times telegraphs that the resignation of Prince Bismark cre ated an excitement there which over shadowed the interest taken in the Eng lish elections. Upon a second thought, however, the alarm which the an nouncement occasioned subsided in a great measure, is being the general con viction that Prince Bismark would not actually retire and leave so much im portant work unfinished. His threat to do so is regarded as an attempt to bring about certain changes in the Federal council. The correspondent says: "The chancellor probably does not care whether the proposed receipt stamp tax is adopted or not, but its rejection af fords him a convenient opportunity to alter the state of things in the Federal council, which has long annoyed him. Nor can it be doubted that a fundamental change of the imperial constitution af fecting the Bundsrath is the real ob ject he has at heart. Of the 58 votes distributed among the 23 members of this body, Prussia possesses 17. That is to say, a little less than a third of the Legislative influence appertains to it, while her proportions of the impe rial population is about five-eighths of the whole. What has hbw happened might very well occur again, and Prus sia might find herself in the predici ment of being out-voted on some much more momentous question than the present one by petty principalities and dukedoms, even when seconded by one or two kingdoms. To obviate, there fore, such an untoward contingency, is unquestionably the aim of the chancel lor, and it can easily be doubted that rather than part with this altogether indispensable Prince, the States will readily consent to a representation in the Federal council more in accordance with the principle by which the popu lar deputies are sent up to tne Reich stag, to-wit: In proportion to the num ber of inhabitants in the respective States. Wllll'AKER'8 IXJl'IHES. The Opinion Expressed iliat IBc In flicted them Himself. New York, April 7. The Herald publishes an account of the outrage on the colored cadet, Whitaker, at West Point Academy, in which it is insisted that he inflicted the injuries upon him self. The dispatcli is dated West Point, and reports that Dr. Alexander, post surgeon, declared his belief that he was shamming unconsciousness when found in his room. The doctor had Whitaker taken to the hospital, or rather had him walk there, and then, pursuant to direc tion, Gen. Schoiield had him stripped and thoroughly examined. The result of this examination was that not a bruise was found on him. It was fur ther ascertained that his nose had not bled as he stated. "You are not hurt; you can go on duty," said the doctor. and Whitaker at once repaired to his quarters and put in an appearance at the 9 o'clock recitation, and is to-night occupying his room in the barracks as if nothing had happened. Gen. Sdio field is also reported to have stated that Whitaker had no enemies among the cadets, and that there was no indica tion so far that any one of them had a band in inflicting the injuries. The Heraltfs theory is that Whitaker took this way oi escaping the conseauences of his own deficiencies and avoiding 11.- j - J J. i me uisgrace oi iaiiure. West Point, N. Y.. April 7. Gen. Schofield says: It has been fully dem onstrated that the outrage on Cadet Whitaker was not committed by mem bers of the cadet corps. The "general had an interview with Whitaker to day, and told him that he was suspect ed of having mutilated himself. Whit aker denied it indignantly, and de manded a court ot inquiry, which was granted, and it will convene Friday morning. municipal Elections. New York, April 7. A special from Columbus says : The municipal election to-day was the quiestest ever held in this city. The entire Democratic tick et, including mayor and aldermen, was elected without opposition, the ne groes voting with the Democrats. An unusually large vote was polled and there was little or no excitement. Milwaukee, April 7. The Republi can city ticket was elected by about 3,500 majority, being the first Republi can government Milwaukee has ever had. Madison elected a Republican mayor, council divided. Oshkosn elected Democratic ticket by a small majority. Eanclaire elected the Republican ticket by a large majority. Cincinnati, April 7. Unofficial foot ings give E. Shelby, Republican, for city comptroller, a majority of 3,800, and elect an entire Republican board of education, with majorities from 200 to 2,000. In Indiana all the constitutional amendments were carried. This will make the State election come off in November. mini Raymond Againkt Senator Hill. Washington, April 6 The case of Jessie Raymond against Senator Hill came up in the Circuit Court to-day. Upon- motion made by Senator Hill s counsel that the case be stricken from the docket on the ground that the suit was instituted by plaintiffs attorney without plaintiffs consent and against her protest, the court took the papers. Later in the day Mrs. Lockwood ap- Sared with Miss Raymond, and the tter, in open court, swore to an affida vit that she had authorized its prosecu tion and that her claim for damages was a just and true one. Court took the motion of Senator Hill's counsel under advisement. A Lock-up in a New Jersey Town. Bordentown, N. J., April 7. All the hotels and beer saloons ot this city were tightly closed yesterday for an indefin ite period in consequence of the com mon council refusing to grant any licenses. The charter election will take place next Monday, and as an entirely new council will then be chosen, the greatest interest is felt in the result. Bordentown has been a chartered city for 31 years, and this is the first time in its history that its public houses have been closed. . , . , , Condition of the Ralph Howes. New York, April 7.

The new Legislature of Maine pro vides that the constitution of the Unit ed States and the constitution of that State shall be read as a part of the exer cises of the public schools, at least once in each term, by every scholar who has reached the age of 14. A very prominent Republican politi cian of Cincinnati has told a reporter of the Enquirer of that city: "There is no use trying to conceal the fact that Garfield wants the presidential nomina tion at Chicago. His friends up in the Reserve, and particularly in Cleveland, are working night and day to obtain it for him, and they expect to have the Northern Ohio delegates votes for him."
