EDUCATION.
It U » pleasing and gratifying fart to
obaarre the awakened attention on the part
of the people of the Soetb, ol all claam, in
behalf of Education.
An educated people mint be « ..-ee, a
happy, and a prosperous people. The world
uow eery generally scout* that seemingly
aphoristic expression, that “where iguorauce
ia bliss, it ia folly to be wise." The bliss
that comes of ignorance is a misnomer.
There art' many reasons why we should
rejoice to see this awakened attention on the
part of the Southern people in the cause of
popular education.
We notice that the Superintendent of the
Southern Freedmeu’s school makes an
earnest appeal for more teachers. Ho tells
us that the desire to learn is very great, and
says that a million of scholars could be
obtained if there were teachers enough to
instruct them.
The American Missionary Society last year
spent $340,000 in sustaining schools in the
South that year. They had, under the in
struction of teachers appointed and sustained
by them, fifty thousand scholars.
In Wilmington, N. C., fourteen hundred
colored children are now studying in schools
which are said to compare favorably with
those of New Englaud, while a system of
schools for poor white children has been in
successful operation for over two years.
Since the offer of assistance from the agent
of the Peabody fund, the trustees have en
joyed greater facilities for extending the
work, and it is believed that there will soon
be schooling accommodations for every child,
whiteorcolored.iu Wilmington, where all
may acquire a free and thorough English
education.
Other Southern cities are more or less ad
vanced in this respect, but none have made
each rapid and gratifying progress. All the
encouragement and assistance given them
by the people of the North will be judiciously
bestowed, as we may hope for more good
results from the education of the poorer
classes in the South than from the most
comprehensive reconstruction legislation.

Washington, D. C., April 25.
The high court has been bored with
speeches all the week, and will have to sub
mit to a similar infliction for several days
more.
Judge Nelson, of Tennessee, commenced
his speech for the defense on Thursday, ana
did not finish until Friday evening. Ex
pectation was on tip toe to hear this gentle
man, for it was well understood that being
the bosom friend of Andrew Johnson the
remarks he might make could be considered
as eoming from the President himself. In
this respect there was no disappointment,
for the speech was for the most part a
rehash of all that Andrew Johnson has
ever said in reference to the questions in
issue ; even the early history of the great
usurper was carefully reiterated, much to
the amusement of the vast audience present
as well as the Senate.
The only new fact made known was: the
President regrets there’ should exist any
differ* nee of ojiiion between himself and
Congress. He will doubtless have still more
cause for regret before another week pa.-scs
over his head. Mr. Evarts, of the President s
eounsel, does not hesitate to say that the
speech had better been left out, for it has
materially weakened the defense. It was
nothing more nor less than a partizan stump
speech—illogical, full of misstatements as
to facts, and showing a disposition on the
patt of the President 10 resist Congress just
so far as he dare.
lh« conviction of the l’leaidcul is deemed
certain, but as the degree of punishment,
whether to involve disqualification tor hold
ing office in future or not, there is some
doubt. Mr. Johnson, it is believed, indeed
it is known, considers a verdict of guilty
certain, and is putting things in order pre
paratory to an early start for Tennessee. Ho
will leave the Capitol without a friend bc
hind, a self-willed, sour man j and retire to
his native heath; and there, under his own
vine and fig-tree he can sit down and hate
himself tor the remainder of his life.
THE ARKANSAS CONGRESSMEN
have all reached the Capital, and they will
be admitted iust as soon as their election has
been officially declared. They arc all
tborough-going Republicans, and believe as
A. J did, a few years ago, in making treason
odious, and will be a substantial addition to
the majority in Congress.
THE i'ISH GOV KM A NOS
of this city are luxuriating in cheap shad
and rock fish. Freshly caught shad, good
aiee, sold in market to day at twelve cents
each, and a drug at that. Cart loads are
salted down at the fish wharves every day,
the supply being greater than the demand.
Kock and several other varieties of fish are
nearly as abundant.
AW IKIIIAK OEI.EUATIOX
rom Santa Fe, New Mexico, said to be the
last of the Ast.c race, which has been here
,“ ver, ‘ l •neks, will leave for
their distant ItOine on Monday next Thit
nation was loyal to the govern,uentduring
the war, and proved it in a substantial way
a loaning a Paymaster SIOO,OOO, in New
sxico, to enable him to pay off the Union
troops.
TIIH CARI'ET BAGGERS
in the city, from the South, can he seen hy
the sco.e, daily, at the different public
houses. Some of them, at least, came hare
to lend a helping hand to Andrew Johnson,
in case that functionary should decide to get
up another civil war. A majority of these
adventurers, however, are sorely disappointed
at the want of pluck manifested by Johnson's
friends, and do not hesitate to say that be
baa more real friends at the South than
throughout the whole North to day. There
is doubtless some foundation lor the state
ment.
CABINET
for.Mr. Wade is alrcndy made up by his
obliging friends. Mr. Wade himself fully
realising the delicacy of bia poaitiojs has
carefbUy refrained from saying or doing
anything to indioat* what hi* oouree wIU be.
It seem, to be conceded, however, that no
removal* will be made until after the
Chicago Convention. Mr. Fessenden, it i*
believed, will succeed Mr. Wade a* preaid
ing officer of the Senate, Mr. Morgan is
the prominent man for the Trsaanry. Mr.
Stanton remains for the present in the W ar
Department, but will ultimately accept a
foreign mission. Oreely can have Randall's
place ss Postmaster General if he will ac
cept. Some Southern man can have the
Interior Department. But who shall be
Prime Minister ? That is the most difficult
question to solve. Beward's place cannot
be easily filled. Farragut may be induced
to take the Navy Department portfolio ad
interim, to get rid of Welles and give eclat
to the new administration. These are some
of the moves talked of here. You get them
just as cheap as I did.
A GREAT WOU.
An account has been received of another
great national work contemplated br the
Russian Government—of such magnitude
and so likely to affect our commercial rela
tions on the Pacifio, that the Secretary of
State has called for full information.
The new project is to unite the Amoo and
Schou rivers by menus of their ancient
deserted beds, and directing their combined
volume to the Caspian, instead of the Aral
Seu. It is stated that the ancient bed of
the Amoo has been examined by the trav
eller, Yamburg, and upon his report compe
tent engineers have reported the project
feasible.
It is estimated that this enterprise, if
successful, will afford a continuous line of
interior navigation extending to within two
hundred and fifty miles of the Anglo-Indian
Empire. The influence of this new route
to Eastern and Central Asia upon the com
merce of the world must necessarily be
immense.
The reason for Russia fighting so per
sistentlv to keep possession of the Black
Sea was to open a direct line of communi
cation from the Mediterranean to the
Pacific. By her stupendous works of inter
nal improvement, there is a water commu
nication connecting the Arctic Ocean with
the Black Sea, and the Baltic with the
Caspian Sea. The new project, when com
pleted, will open a vast country-now only
reached by tedious passages.
The Baron Gerolt, accompanied by his
accomplished daughter, visited the Geologi
cal rooms of the Land Office yesterday, and
expressed himself much pleased with the
arrangement of the Cabinets, and a determi
nation to contribute his private collection of
rare minerals.
The Baron, who by the way is one of the
most popular of Ihe foreign ministers residing
here, was intimately associated with Hum
boldt in his scientific explorations through
out the world.
THE SURRATT CASE
was yesterday set down for trial Tuesday,
May 12th, but no one fora moment supposes
that the trial will then be proceeded with.
The improbability of ob.aining an impartial
trial in this District was fully showed when
the case was on before. The jury system
will have to be remodelled before John Sur
ratt can receive his deserts.
The President semi-officially annoances
that Collector Smythe of Now York seeks
the mission to England; if he cannot get
this, then he wants the Austrian mission-
From tin- same source we also 4 learn that a
Western lawyer is after the Attorney Gene
ralship, and that there is little prospect of
cither party succeeding. The President is
evidently not in an appointing mood just
now. Capital.
CHIPS. •
Why is an onion like a piano? Because
it smell-odious.
A lady who started out of sleep bv some
one trying to enter the house, cried out.
“Who is there ?” “Your late husband,"
was the reply.
•
There is a young lady in town so refined
in her language that she never uses the
words "blackguard,” but substitutes “Afri
can Sentinel.’’
It is related of two old Scotch ministers
that one asked the other if he was not
sorely tempted at times to go fishing on Sun
day afternoon. “Oh, moil,” replied his
fellow laborer, “I'm never tempted long;
I jist go.”
“Are all these bells ringing for fire ?”
inquired Simon of Tiberias. “No, indeed,”
answered Tibe ; “they have got plenty of
fire and the bell is now ringing for water.”
A prominent journalist in New York,
who is perfectly bald, has offered a reward
of SI,OOO for a tale that will make his hair
stand on end.
“I think,” said Mrs. Partington, getting
up from the Breakfast table, “I will take
a towar, or go on a discussion. They say,
if I collect rightly, that a party is to
to a very plural spot, and to mistake of
a collection, I hope it won't be so cold as
ours for the poor was, lust Sunday; why,
there wcr’nt efficient to buy wood for a
restitute widder.” And the old lady put
on her calash.
A Fhmai.s Witness.— ‘’Facts arc stub
born things,” said a lawyer to a female
witness under examination. The lady
replied: “Yes, sir, and so are women ; and
if you get anything out of me just let inc
know it.’, “You’ll bo committed for con
tempt.” “Very well, I’ll suffer justly, for I
feel the utmost contempt for every lawyer
present.”
• pinions of Sagacious Observers —No
Doubt of Mr. Johnson's Conviction. —A tele
gram to the New York Tribune, dated Wash
ington, Thursday, April 23, 1808, has the
following :
The feeling in tavor of conviction deepens
every hour, and very little doubt is'enter
tained in any quarter that the Senate will
render a verdict of guilty. One of the best
judges of the situation expressed the opinion
this evening that in all probability thirty
eight Senators will vote in favor of the Pres
ident’s removal. Mr. Johnson is very much
depressed, and instead of consolatibn meets
with upbraiding from his Democratic friends.
It is authoritatively asserted that he was
influenced in his action in removing Secre
tary Stanton by one of bis household, and
the gentleman who thus influenced his Ex
cellency is severely denounced by the fami
lies of some of the more prominent office
holders, who ure fearful ol losing their places.
Relative to the end of the triul, it may be
said that the general opinion is that all the
arguments will not have been made before
Saturday, May 2. Mr. Logan will merely
file his speech. It is said that Mr. Groes
betk will make ah oral argument, and Mr.
Stevens will certainly speak ball or three
quarters ol an hour. Mr. Williams, too,
wishes to say something on the asbject. All
these gentlemen's speeches are to be made
before the delivery of the final arguments hy
Messrs. Jvvarts and Bingham.
Ihe Hotel des Invatides contains ordinu
ny a population of I'J,OOO old soldiers, of
whom about 946 belong to the last period of
the hirst Empire. Among the older mem
bers there arc thirty whose services date
from the first Republic. One of them a
Bailor in 1793 on board the Scipion, bss been
a resident since 1806. He.was blown up
with the vessel, and so dreadfully injured
that it was found necessary to cut off both
his legs. He is now ninety two years of age.
