DAIL "5L jsra 1 IWBEENIAK. 'entee, Editor. C., MAY 20, 1874. f; iy of - i Public Instruction : POOL, of Chaves. CONGRESS OX ClVIL EIGHTS. Senator Freelinghuysen, who iems to be the special nurse of the African monster, tailed the Civil Eights Bill, seems determined to forceits political christening at all hazards.. He gives notice that, on next Monday, the measure will ; be finally' submitted . to the consideration of Congress, and that it will, be kept before thathon- orablejxxly until fully disposed of. The South ern Senators, as might ba reasonably expected, '.are: said; to be very indignant, and express themselves in language of unqualified Qndem naU6n;;of its provisi6ns. And' another fact, which we were not prepared to look for in this connection, shines out suddenly before the pop ular mind. President Grant discourages the passage of the bill, and says that its adoption will be injurious to the interest's of the nation, j He is backed up in this judicious sentiment by many Radical Senators, who believe that.it will : not be advantageous to force this offensive leg islation upon the South. We .caimot, of course, tell how the matter will be finally settled. But Aye have never doubted that, its adoption will :'; crive the finishing stroke to Radicalism in this country. We have no fears "of a practical appli cation of this measure, even if it become a law. They may break down the venerated schools of the South by their insane fanaticism,' and drive respectable gentlemen to employ tutors for their children. And they may destroy the com fortable hotefs. whose generous entertainments ' haye been patronized by our citizens. But they can no more accomplish the satanic object which , they seek to compass by their fanaticism, than they can mix the joys of Paradiae with the shad ows of "hell. There is one tliiiig which they will fin however: Thev will make Jordan a hard road to travel for the negro. In the meantime there is food for. philo sophic reflection in' the hesitation of President "Grant and certain Radical Senators, to encour ' age the bill. It shows that the rushing wheels of this descending chariot may' be arrested be fore they plunge into the pit. It indicates very clearly that there are some Northern intellects in the Radical ranks not entirely perverted by the -unquenchable wrath of a rehdeWi, vlov sealed I to the' fanatical blindness of abolition extremists. V And we will venture to assert, that if the terrible '.test-of political fidelity is pushed much further, there are hundreds of white radicals in the South who will break ranks at the final tap of the drum, and fling themselves heart and ( soul in line with their Conservative neighbors. We ' Warn the negroes again, that they are playing with fire.

The tour among the Seminaries was really a delightful privilege. Here are the jewels of Raleigh, fair, brilliant and fascina ting. St. Mary's is one of the monuments of the (state. Under the venerable Preceptor, it has fitted for their station the most accomplish ed women of the land.

Dr. Smedes is the ne plus ultra of female educators.' - He stands with his white hairs and benignant countenance in the midst of his fair young flock, as if he had been com missioned by the fathers and mothers of a past generation to instruct the children of this. The Presbyterian and Baptist Seminaries are both admirably officered, thoroughly equipped, and are 'doing splendid service in the cause of education in this State: Now let any poor bachelor devil, who is not an Editor, fancy the feelings of a modest Knight of the Quill utterly overwhelmed by the dazzling beauty, graceful accomplishment and thrilling music, that burst upon him on all sides.

The President, by the advice of the Attorney General, has at last settled the Arkansas difficul ties by sending Brocks into retirement, and confirming Baxter in the Gubernatorial chair. Under all the circumstances of the case, we do not know but that this is the right decision. Whether Brooks had a majority of the votes or not, it seems to be clear, that he had no right to commence an insurrection to make good his title to office. As the President, in settling this question, has simply decided between two mal content Radicals, there was scarcely any chance to strike a blow at Conservative interests. , And - we are not sure that he is not entitled to some praise for his decision, inasmuch as Brooks is said to have had the large si Radical following, and would, therefore, most naturally come in for the support of the Administration.

Of the daily transcript of occurrences in Congress, regular mention is made, -end the public eye and ear are familiar ized. There has been, meanwhile, withoiit any but a casual notation, an investigation going on deeply affecting the reputatien and character of a branch of service not often under tne imputa tion of pecuniary shortcomings. The reed man's Bureau, with Gen. O. O. Howard at its head, has for the last three years emitted a noi some evaporation, not of the class of incense. By a singular fatality everything of our public policy connected with our late serfdom has had with it dishonor and fraud.
