Our 'foreign relations" cost double what they should. Iu alljthe departments are count less superfluous employees, besides thous ands of overpaid ones, and separate Bureaus which were never necessary; or were neces sary only : dqrjng and just after the war. Every democratic Congressman of two years experience knows this. Yet, though our revenues are falling off, and the inev itable result must be the imposition of new burdens upon the people at the first session of the democratic Forty-fciith Congress, the democratic House has so far hardly inti mated a desire for retrenchment. Demo crats in Congress to day are digging their own graves, and the graves of future demo crats. There ia time, even in the three weeks remaining of the session. Many appropriation bills are still under control of the House. Many schemes involviug the useless payment of nioney are yet to be acted on. The House cannot do all it should have done at this session, but it can do much. , j Senator Conkling was yesterday badly beaten in his fight with the adminis tration on the New York Custon House appointments. The result is largely due to a speech of Senator Bayard, favoring con firmation. This admirable Senator's influ ence is. as it should be. very great, and has not been more conspicuously effectual in any case than iu this. The quarrel was a disgraceful one. Manifestly the efforts of the administration were to change the di rection of politic il support in the Custom House, and not to do away with it. i Just as certainly Senator Conkling fought for con tinued control of that influence, and for personal friends. There never was an atom of principle involved.' There has been in the last week a deal of nonsense ottered in the House on the sub ject of Southern war claims. There are thousands of claims now filed here, which were filed and have been completed at great expense under the provisions of a law ex tending wtat is called the ''Sonthern Claims Commission" until 1880. It is now proposed to repeal the law extending the time of that Commission. The question whether or not that onght to be done is en tirely separate from the question as to the original policy of paying the claims. The claimants meet with certain losses. The government promised to pay those losses if proper proof was ' made before 1880. The proof has been and is being made. How the government can honorably escape pay ment in such case I oannot see. It may prooerly, pe.rb. psj refuse to consider claims filed after 1880 j To-day, or as soon as he can get the floor for the purpose, Senator Morrill will call np the Senate bill providing for the taking of the next or tenth census. It is to be hoped thnt the two houses will agree upon some measure for the purpose, and that, as far as possible, the numerous persons who will neoessarily be employed will be selected without regard to politics. ' Solon. all sales, ri$,. hail or sbne, and gobble ap property. J j The fact is that tlaes change and we change with them,: and so ought the laws when it becomes Becessary. The object of the law bag always been to give; publicity to legal sales, but the methoda that weie adequate to that end two hundred years ago or even one hundred years ago are not at all so now. When there -vere. no newspa pers, avd when the only means qf sending information iUrough a county was by pub lic proclamation at the coutt house during court week, and post'mg written notices in public places, there wr.s reason in the pres ent law, for it was to, just such sqcocs that men looked for information; now, however, they no longer look to them, and there is no maxim of the law f oundedT ti'pou sounder principle than that which declares; that '.'the oughC to -cease." The great trouble, we apprehend, how ever, grows not out of any doubt as to the propriety of using the new methods to give the desired publication . to notices of legal sales, on thepart of legislators, but out of fear tbiitfauy action in that direction on. their part will appea't Q be ia the interest oflhe newspapers, and draw dlawn. upon their devoted heads a certain amount of popular clamor. If the thing could only have been done without seeming to do the newspapers some benefit thereby, it would have been- done long ago in. eyeiy State in the Union 1 But j 'ist riht there is the rutV for it is throngu tha eolu-.uus of the newspapers only that i a these modern times the desired publicity ;can be given in. yegnnl to the legal sales; just as it can there only be given iu regard to other "sales In other matters the trnth has long sinoo been acknowledged, and men, as a matter of course go to the newspapers when-they desire ta inform the people as I to anything they have to sell or to bay as jthe quickest, surest ani cheapest means of Mcomplishing their purpose. In deed the first thought of a man who wishes to keep a matter secret is how he shall keep it out of the papers. It is in the matter of legal advertisements alone, we believe, that the methods of a century are deemed sufficient, which is just about as sensible a3 expecting a grown man to wear a jacket that fitted! him when a small boy. The tinie will come, however in all the States as.it has already come in sntue, when legal advertisements will be required by T law to be printed in newspapers, and we h'upe it Vvill come soon ia North Carolina at least; notf however, because of any benefit real or imaginary, that it promises to be to the newspapers, but because we honestly believe the requirement is the : only ade quate means to insure justice to all parties concerned in the transfer of property from one person to another by process of law.

What a state may dp for adults : may be debatable, but the same law which- can. open, a sohool roonr for the good of the young caa close a dram-shop to the same blessed purpose It is beyond denial that if the public-(for iu ojur land the public is the state,) would give its minors any valuable educatiou, that education must ba found largely in casting a purer air around these young hearts. To remove a teinptatiuu is much, within the power of government as it is within that power to place before the mind a text-book If one has a right to administer food, one has a right to exclude poison. The former involves the latter. It would seem that no greater moral absurdity could be dreamed of than that a city should build costly school houses, and then license twenty-five hundred saloons to' carry; on the business, in the same place. The education is poor enough even if not opposed, fox it does n.o,; teach the love of all labor, and the honorableneas of mechanical and agricultural pursuits, but when against this virtue of reading and writing and arithmetic we oppose thousands of grog-shops as open as the school-house the blunder of the publio is seen to be im mense.

As per announce ment, the pedestrianites who were to jtaka part in the walking match in this city, as sembled on Wednesday last at the hour designated for the start, but the weather being unfavorable, a postponement was ordered until Thursday, when at 2:30 pi m., Messrs. U. H Hilton, Wm. Ellis, Jas. G. Hargett and E E. G. Roberts, the only contestants for tho medal aud championship, made their appearance on the course, 'and at once started off in fine order and oondi tion for the accomplishment of tbs weary task before them. Mr Ellis was the first to score the 25 miles, and accomplished the feat in 5 hours 41 minutes and 40 seconds, during which time Mr Hargett had made 24 2-5 miles, Mr, Hilton 24 3-o miles and Mr Roberts 24 8-15 miles. There was a Legal AdTertisIng. About the propriety of publishing lesal advertisements iri newspapers we think there can be little or no doubt. The re quiremeuts of the law to pot eertain noti ces at three or four pu)lio places in a coun ty can be easily complied with and still not a tithe of the proper publicity be given to their contents. . , The time has -gone by when business men, or any other sort of men for that matter, look for information as to things to buy or things to sell anywhere else than in the columns of their newspapers. To say the least of it. whether designedly so i or not, a notice containing a few lines written in pale ink, on a scrap of paper stuck up at the court house, and three more at as many cross roads in any county, leave the great mass of the people there entirely ignorant of what is to be done whereas the very ob ject of posting snob notices is, in theory at least, to give them timely warning. And this warning is intended not merely for the benefit of the people at large, but for that of parties immediately interested as well. Certainly if by prooessof law a man's prop erty is taken from him and sold away from him the law ought to see to it that every reasonable precaution is taken to make it bring its full value, that is to say, unless consideration for the debtors is no part of A SERMON BY PROF- SWIXQ. 1 ( Concluded ) An unanswerable objection to the idea i 1 ' that education, moral and intellectual, either or both should be left to the parent and the clergyman, must be found in the fact that tens of thousands of those who, being now -young must fill the Offices and make and execute the laws of the next gen eration, have no home, and no church, and therefore can never receive culture from those sources of holy influence. Iu the cities and large towns there are tens of thousands of young persons who have no home that can help them, and ; no church ties that can be of any avail. There is only one flag that waves over them all and that is the flag of their country. The flag of Christ would love to cast its shadow over them, and so the benevolence of home would love to extend to them its help, but amid these shapes of willingness, the state is the only being on earth who is the actual father and mother of all this youthful and tender throng. The church blesses a few, it sprinkles the foreheads of a few infants, it gathers into its classes a small number; aud the cultivated fireside draws into its circle a fragment of the red-cheeked host, but it is the state only that can say without omitting a single Soul: "These ! are all my ctrldren." The church and the home must indeed igo onward with their large influen ces for they help from the men who lead in pnblic affairs,but it is the state only that can to-day or to-morrow reach all the individu als, youig and old, of the entire country. Inasmuch, therefore, the publio oannot wait for other agencies to come and care for. its youth, and inasmuch as the public will be politically ruined, unless the young are cared for, the inference is easy that the local and general government must pay some i attention to the education of those who are to be its officers and electors and citizens. In order to save itself; arnation must save its children. ., Out of this evident dependence of govern ment upon education has come our common-school system. One objection now is that the benefits of the public school do not come anywhere near making up the mean ing of the wordj education. The thousands of almost homeless and churchless youth of the land are not educated in the public Schools, because reading and writing are small elements in the formation of charac ter, and what the public needs of its citizens is not learning, but character. Therefore, the duty of the public toward minors is one of guarding them from. the bad associations and temptations of youth as well as leading them up to a few school-books.' A system which permits tens of thousands of boys and girls' to reach adult life without having learned any form of industry, and which permits all the young boys to live these formative years amid whislEey saloons and gambling saloons, cannot, with any truth, be oalled an educational system. It teaches the young how to read and wri te, indeed, but the members of the "whiskey ring," now assembled, perhaps to elect senators, cap all read and write; and the whiskey snmed the people by his; plans to save them. At least he was a fruitless mind and it was hia fate to make a rope of hay and while be was twisting in the sweet new grass at his end, a hungry ass was set to consume the rope at the other terminus. And as the consuming brute had been divinely gifted with an appetite that never abated, as he was hungry and immortal, the race of the rope-maker and the rope-consumer was . painfully even. You will have no difficulty in applying to modern times this fable, for our publio twists in the sweet grass of ed ucation for the-young! and then sets the whisky force, always hungry and equally , immortal, to consuming the sweet rope at I .i. .

These relations are moat sacred, The first fifteen years of life are almost utterly dependent upon the older minds, 'dependent for every ;j opinion, for every taste, for every estimate: of labor and duty and pleasure and for all their views and practices of religion. All the talk we indulge in about the liberty of man te hold bis own opinions and to follow his own will in a free country fails wholly when we oome to speak of the young, j They have no per sonal independence. They must be fur nished with an outfit of truths of everyday life and must be furnished with the fresh air ... . of morals that their lungs may not be poison ed before they have become judges of the fatal and the health-giving. Society owes to all its youth a decent protection and aid in their early years. The church and the state and all soienoe and each civilized home should combine in helping to secure for the early years some fair start ia this danger ous thing called life, j There was a time when yon and I would have absorbed all the vices of our era, when we would have drunk any spirit offered usj would have used any language however vile had been offered our lips, have with but little urging stolen or have thought a. lie more ingenious than a truth But all through those days a wiser heart or wiser hearts stood around us and upheld us nntil our own reason had begun to .dawn. So far as possible these home scenes shad ow forth the publio duty toward all minors the duty of protection of the yovthful years. If we can only throw! around our young people a shield of law j and religion and morals and friendship, and proteot them until they ate well over the most thought less period, we shall see civilization spring forward more rapidly .than from any pro tection thrown around the cotton factory or the iron furnace. ' It was my happiness recently to take an evening dinner with a group of students home from eastern colleges. They had oome at that invitation which Chfiatxnas annnally issues in the same of an infinite friendship. They had come from seven dif ferent sohools. But what concerns our ar- ' ! ''- i gunsent most is that no one of these young men brought with him any vice, but in real moral worth they revisited their homes; but they did this, not in tne came of per sonal liberty, but because -they had been reared in early life between walls that had been full of wisdom and happiness. They bad been wisely aided for twenty years. The only painful thought; which the scene awakened was that he public could not 50. si1ixoli;3. Five-inch, $3.; six-inch, $4.; aevett-iBch, $81 NAVAL8. .
