CHEAP EDUCATION.
Just at this time there is more or
less attention given to the necessity
of haying better common schools,
and more educational facilities. It
is quite certain that ignorance is wide
spreads in"1 bar 'State.1- it is equally
certain that the schoolmaster is need
ed from one end of North Carolina to
trie other The wisest legislation. is
to redace the burdens of taxation to
the minimum point, and to increase
as far as possible educational advan
tages. The next Legislature is bound
"to consider these points. AH useless
expenses must be got rid of, and the
children of the State must be pro
vided with larger and better educa
tional advantages. The best people
demand these things. ;
The press f ma at do its duty in the
premises. The editors of the State
by a united and earnest co-operation
can compel the Legislators to take
the question of education in hand
and give It a practical shape. It is a
standing reproach that North .Caro
lina has a larger white population, in
proportion to numbers, who cannot
read and write, than any other of the
thirty-eight States. This ought not
so to be, and it is the duty of the
members of the Legislature to re,
mov-the cause of -such reproach as
far as possible, and to open the way
for a generous and wise educational
plan by which the children of the
State may be taught.
It would not be difficult to prove
that the negroes are making more
headway in the matter of educating
their children than the whites. , We
are satisfied that this is so, and it is a
great reflection upon the 'whites that
such a statement can be truthfully
made. It ought not to continue. We
cannot now enter npon an argument
to show what such a state of things
will end in; if allowed to continue.
There are certain things the . white
children of the State must be taught
if we would have them to be good
and. useful. t
It will beran eternal reproach
if the recently freed negroes pay more
attention to educating their children
than clothe whites born free.
The Oxford Orphan Asylum is do
ing a noble work in the direction of
furnishing education to' the poor
children of the State at a very low
figure. ' The education given is bet

Superintendent, it would have stopped.
ong ago. But let us look at'what it
s doing in tjie way of supplying good
educational opportunities at a ery
low price.
When orphans, are sent to poor
houses, the counties are usually
charged about eight dollars a month
for, their support. This support gen
erally means ordinary food and cloth
ing. Now the Orphan Asylum can
furnish healthlui food, comfortable
clothing, aud thorough instruction in
the different branches of a good Eng -J
lish education, for onlv four dollars a
month; or forty-eight dollars a year.;
This is just one half of the amount
now paid where no instruction isi
given. So then the State may save'
money and benefit the orphans at the
same time, by a contribution to the
orphan work.' Legislators swear tcj
support the constitution, which posi-
tively requires the opening of an
Orphan House. Yet when Senator
Flemmmg proposed to appropriate
$5,000 to the Orphan Asylum, and
the Judiciary committee 'pronouueecj
the resolution constitutional, it was
- ' ' i
voted down. If our Legislature
really wishes to retrench and reform.
the poor orphans can be fed, clothed
and taught, at an average expense of
four dollars a month. s

THIS COUKXE OF THE NEW YORK.
BANKS. ' '
The action taken by the New York
Clearing House that they would not
receive the standard silver dollar op
deposit on the same precise footing
of gold dollars and greenbacks, has
provoked a vast deal of comment and
some surprise. Their action was un-
wise, to say the least. It was hostile
to all that Congress had done in the
way of legislating upon the subject,
and was. a direct act of nullification
on paper. It placed the Clearing
House of the greatest city in open
opposition to the Treasury De
partment. It will turn out that
the banks will find that they
are not masters as yet, and
they will . have to receive the sil
ver dollar however much they may
be opposed to the same. It is almost
certain that the New York banks
will have to lake water. There are
many signs that they regret they
were so hasty. Many of the bankers
themselves now see the blunder they
have committed. The opinion add
purposes of Secretary Sherman, as ex
pressed in his interview with the Bal
timore bankers, was a regular roor-

t .- i
Banks, and the latter will have o.
draw in their horns a little bit jpr
they may get gored before they are
aware of it. !
To show how the subject is regard
ed in New York we extract a para
graph from the letter of the New
York correspondent of the Philadel
phia Ledger, of Nov. 21st: ,
"The precipitate action of the New Yoik
Associated Banks, with reference to the
status ofsilver dollarslafter resumption; is
coming to be more and mere a matter of
regret with people of sound financial views.
and who deprecate any policy which is
calculated to place the banking interests
in a position ever so remotely antagonisti-
cai to uongress. The JNew York bank
presidents are undoubtedly an influential
and powerful body, whose co-operation
with the Treasury in steps for resumption is
of the highest importance, but the regret is
that they have committed themselves to
a course which they will find itexceediae
ly difficult to adhere to with so little consi
deration of possible consequences. , They
have been advised by some of their : most
discreet friends that they have made a mis.,
take, and that they would - best : conserve
their own interests and the interests of the
public by rectifying it as speedily as possi
ble. The real trouble with the Bank Presi
dents, as heretofore shown, was the taking
upon themselves to decide the status of the
silyer dollar, without inviting the counsel
ot anybody beyond their Immediate circle,
albeit the policy they have adopted directly
affects the financial and business interests
of the whole country." ?
As the Philadelphia and Baltimore
banks, as well as those of the targe
cities in the Northwest, have not
adop'ted the New York programme,
it is pretty certain that the bankers
of the latter city will have to recon
sider their position, and cooperate
with the government. j
Comptroller Knox says the action
of the banks was premature and un
wise. , He says there was no necessity
for such a coarse, as the probability
is that the entire silver coin will be
absorbed in revenue and custom dies.
The folly of. the. New York Ld
Boston banks in thus endeavoring1 to
nullify an act of Congress will dnly
increase the hostility that already Sex
ists to National Banks,and give thlose
who are fighting them "further Van

Till resolution passed by the Chi-
Jagbjconmercial conventiop, fn favor
or jtnjpjroving uu tiuauu water coui
municalion between Virginia "and
North Carolina, was offered by Mr.
Beasleyv formerly of North Carolina,
but naur residing in Baltimore. From
his'f'arniliafiCy with the matter he was
appoT6tef ty Oovernor VaiMje to rep
resent North Carolina in the conven
tion. His idea was that one of1 the
two existing water ways the. Chesa
peake & Albemarle or the Dismal
Swamp.canal be chosen for the inv
provement. , The government has an
interest, of. five-twelfths already in
),he, Dis,mal Swamp carnal, and from
surveys inade by Mr. Hutton, at pre
sent civil -engineer of the Baltimore
harbor board, ' he reported to the
War'Departraent that the improve
ment of the latter canal in the
manner proposed could be made
for $480,000. His estimates were
based on the work to be
done, which was to make it eight or
nine feet deep and sixty feet wide, so
as to allow of the easy passage of
ocean steamships of 1,060 tons. Mr.
Beasley's resolution, as adopted by
the convention, recommended the
opening up of a suitable and cheap
water liue,to be permanently navi
gable by steamships of 1,000 tons,
between the waters of Virginia and
North; Carolina, and 5 thas avoiding
the dangers of Cape Hatleras. The
total cost, i ncluding the redemption
of outstanding bouds at fifty cents on
the dollar, he assumes would be with
in $700,000, which, by'1 increase of
tolls and the organization of a sink
ing fund, would, he estimates, reim
burse the government for the entire
cost of the canal in the course of twen
ty or twenty-two years, and leave it
thenceforth free, to navigation the
government in the meanwhile having
control of the canal. :
