NalioitaltiepubUcan *U»V«'A. «A* WEDNESDAY MOHWIWO April t». t»M PRESIDENT Os the United Status : ULYSSES S. CRAMT. 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. [From our Special Correspondent. WASHINGTON LETTER.

Surratt—A Jfontler Enterprise — IVbat Collector Stnylhc trout and Ukr to have. 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.
