We in ip pose that tho misplacing of a
period, iu our Thursday night’s tele
graphic report of the uctioii of CongrosM
on thin bill, nmtci tally changed tho mean
ing. Our leport, us published yesterday
morning, gives it: “No Htnto loses her
share of the fund by legal enactments
forbidding mixed acliools after ten years.
Tho distribution will he upon tho buais of
population instead of illiteracy." Tut
the period after “mixed schools," and let
tho last scntouc# read, “After teu years
tho distribution will he upon the basis of
population instead of illiteracy,” and tho
reader will lmve what wo have little doubt
U tho tru© provision of tho bill as ii
passed the I louse.
The object of the bill is to distribut#
the proceed* of tho publio lands among the
several States, according to their ronpect-
ivo needs, for tbe purptmea of ednoatioti;
and if tho provision iu relation to mixed
schools is us we suggest above, wo regard
the measure as a good otto and trust that it
will pass the Soaule also. Having alwayi
boeu a supporter of Mr. Olay’a policy of
laud distribution among the States, we
need hardly aay that wo have uo tniagiv
lugs as to tho coustituiouality of Iho bill
before Congress, unless indeed it was ob
jectionable details of whioh wo are now
ignornut. Uudor the prosout mode of
aqnanderiug thorn and giviug them to
sectional favorites, the Southern State*
oau derive but little if any benefit from
the public lands or the proceeds of their
sales—certainly uothing liko their pro
portionate share. But the bill before
Congress will givo them more than the
proportion to which population would
entitle them, because of the illiteracy of
tho negro population. The basis of dis
tribution adopted by tbe House is never
theless a just one, because Congress is in
* groat measure responsible for th# con
ferring of equal political rights upon tb#
educated and intelligent and tbe illiterate
uud ignorant classes among us. We be
lieve that this plan of distribution and ap
propriation is far preferable to the preva-
AXXNWTt lErtiTKI.
Tho action of th#. U» 8. Senate on Fii
day may, wa thiuk, fenptfcd ■ laliu-
Uv. of ill. iutfi of uijr g«s«a| uwoMtji
bill by CoofTMl at thla Mttion. TU bill
had, IndaMt Wta k> |Htfaite| by Sum
ner’s amendment that the Democratic Sen-
nlom, the warm friends of amnesty, killed
it. Only thro# or font licpstdiean Kens-
iota (and these few diasffcofed towards the
Adraiuislration; voted with the Democrat*
•gftinst it. Tho qncMlon, wc fancy, is now
left in jn** *weli a position a* the Omni
l*arty desire for the I’residentinl eloction,
and they will probably keep it so until
after that time. It onablee them to put
in a strong claim for the negro rot# eve
rywhere, ou (ho plea that they demanded
social equalUj without diittiuction of color
as nu aeoompanimont of amnesty, and tlie
Democrats rcjecled it. We uppleml tho
course of the Democrat* in defeating the
bill with Buuitier's amendment, but we
thiuk that on some of th# preliminary
vot*a shaping that amendment they might
bavo acted with a tact tjiat would have de
prived tho Uadicsls of tho advantage they
liope to gain by the present status of the
question. Had they endoavored to make
tho amendment ax objectionable as possi
ble, instead of voting to etriko out its
most radical provisions, they might have
prevented its ndnption, or have compelled
a number of Administration Senator*, on
tho final vote, to aid them in defeating
tho amendment. And bud the bill parsed
iu its roost objectionable form, its opera
tion might hnvo boon to tho injury, in
stead of the advantage, of the Kadieal par
ty in tbe l'residential election. For in
stance, had tho votes of tha Democratic
Honators retained tho clauso requiring ne
gro equality in the chiiruhos, this clauso
might cither hnvo enusud the defeat of tho
amendment, or if tho bill with this feature
kml boon passed by a Itadical party vote,
it would probably bavo injured instoad
of benefiting that party at tbe North.
That seetion of tho Union Abounds with
aristocratic churches in whioh there is no
whito equality oven, and the spootaclo of
negroes weekly obtruding tbemsolvos and
demanding equality under Sumner's
ufiicudioont would have boon ropnUive in
stead of gratifying.
Tho Ilona© has, we believe, pnt.Hnd an
other amnesty bill that tho Senate has yot
to act upon. But though general iu its
soopo, with the exclusion of Hasson, it is
fur from being a ineasnro of universal
amnesty. It whs passed by tho Houho on
Monday lust, and is described as u bill “to
remove political duubilitisa from r or tain
classes of men in tho Houth who hold
irtiall judicial or fedurul or municipal offi
ces prior to the wnr, which positions bad
required tho taking of an oath to support
th© constitution." When this bill couios
lip in the Semite Sumner will doubtless
again move his nmeuduioul, and wo hope
that tho proceedings in that body will
havo tho efl'eut of more distinctly reveal
ing the ItudicalH ns the opponents and the
Democrats as tho friends of amnesty

Nkw Yokk, Feb. 8.—A special London
dispatch says tlio Time* of yoHturday used
the following lungutige •
“Tlio treaty of Washington 1ms become
inoperative for tlio reason that it is nat
based on a perfect understanding between
the signatory parties. It is with the ut
most reluetnnee that wo contemplate tho
possibility tlmt the reference of this ques
tion to the nrbitration court will come to
nothing; that there will remain nothing
of the expectations thus raised of a suc
cessful issue of tho ease. A satisfactory
answer from Washington excluding tho
American claim for indirect damages,
cannot bo anticipated. The misunder
standing, which will thus bo defluitely es
tablished between in, can have no sequel
but tho nbaiidotiineut of tho refcreiieo
for arbitration."

The Inst issue of 1’rinco Bismarck’* or
gan contains an artiqjo on our relutiou*
with tbe United States which places our
iHNtition in a vory fair though unenviable
light. Hmun people, says tho writor, may
think that tbe Amorioau* neither wish nor
expect the enormous sums they ask for;
the majority, bowevor, aro of tho opin
ion that tho Americans would not havo
wormed out sll their grievances ltulcss
they really wished England to snfTer se
verely, and relied on u verdict in their fa
vor. If, however, Great Britain is acquit
ted of all blame, then, adds tho article, in
any conflict in which she ia engaged,
whether with Ireland or a foreign l’owor,
she will understand that the ports and
dockyard* of tbe United States aro opon
to her enemy. The writer then goes ou
to laugh at Mr. Gladstone for having re
commended the system of arbitration to
foreign l’owora before he had any experi.
once of its working. Should tho arbi
trators adjudge England to pay four mil
lions only, America will bo dissatis
fied. Should they, on the contrary, take
an American view of the case, England
will be obliged to deolaro the Washington
Treaty as null and void, a* no Ministry
could demand from Parliament a greater
sum than an nnsncces*ful war would have
cost tho country. In ovory cuso, con
cludes tbe writer, the Convention of Ge-

more lasting animosity between tho two
nations than has hitherto at any time ex
isted.

—did you ever hear of him before ?—has
mude a speech about the “Mayflower"
and tlio Buntans, in which, with rather
too florid a fancy for a clergyman, he
gives us th# following piece of informa
tion, as curious as now :
**The Puritans still live for their prio
ripica, if obedient*# to conscience and
faith are living principles. Their chil
dren, inheriting their indomitable spirit,
have fused States into compactures and
strength, built schools and homes. Their
spirit, which would not bear ala very, had
purified tho republic from it*

ers if their example does uot make of us
nobler men. Saul Alexander to oue of
tbe same name, ‘Change thy name or thy
works.' So say the pilgrims from their
grave* to ruauy a degenerato son.”
Now, we admire some traits in tho Pu
ritans os much a* if we belonged to the
Boston Hutu:ioal Society, and some oth-
«s we detest with sll our heart; but,
among their virtues, we never heard tu
tor© of the detetttatioa of olavery.—
“Their spirit, which would not hear
this, bought and sold negroes and Indi
ans, and defeated the effort of Yirgluia to
stop th# slav# trad# by operation of the
Federal Constitution. Th# reason* Mas

much capital invested in the trade to per
