Peeples, A. H. Smith and P. Walsh, on
the part of the House of Representatives.
A PRACTICAL EDUCATION'.
The Legislature of Massachusetts has
passed a tall, and the Governor has signed
It, which ordains that sewing shall be ope
of the branches of public school education.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin hails this
new feature not ao mnch for what it author-
ices, but what it promises, and adds: "It
is to be hoped that this is the inauguration
i of on advance movement in our present sys
tem of education, a system which cultivates
the mind (or rather, pretends to do ao), at
the expense of the body,—a system which
keeps girls fussing and dreaming over
studies which will neverbe of the digfatest
practical use, at an age when they should
be making their husbands’ shirts, or at least
helping their mothers and becoming ac
quainted with household duties. It is sad
to think into what useless puppets these
charming girls arc being educated. ‘ They
toil not, neither do they spin;” yet do they
expect to be arrayed more magnificently
than Solomon in all his glory. At home
they are perfectly useless, except for orna
ment or luxury, like rare China or canaty
birds.”
The Augusta Constitutionalist, comment
ing upon the above, chimes in as follows:
“These are words of “truth and sober
ness.” That the education of most girls is
neglected, in practical matters, we all know
to be a grievous fact. And the young men,
fimlty as they may be themselves, but who
do not care to marry doll-babies and
dowerless Princesses of May Fair, confess
that, with hard times before them and
harder to come perhaps, they shrink from
a partnership for life with women who
have been reared to spend money, when
they could get it, and to save none by
thrifty habits.”
Theso plausible remarks may indeed
prove words of “ truth and soberness,” and
the public generally may be greatly in
debted to these legislators and journalists
* for thus ventilating the subject. A woman
ought, unquestionably, to know how to
sew, for in every era of her life - as maid,
wife or mother—and indeed, should she be
thrown upon her own resources, as many
are, it will be indispensable.
But, are there not other arts which are
also useful? Shouldn’t a woman know
something else than how to hern a handker
chief, tuck a skirt or sew on a button ?
Are there not other things iu which females
may be instructed to their profit and ad
vantage? These do not suit them, you
say. Why not? Simply because they
have never tried them, have never had op
portunities to become so capacitated or
adapted. If the Massachusetts legislature
therefore, intends to interfere with this sub
ject of female education, let them insist
that other arts, as appropriate, useful and
for more remunerative l>e introduced into
the curricula cf the public schools, _so that
woman’s sphere of usefulness may be widen
ed ; and iudecd, should the Augusta Consti-
tutionalist insist upon any such reform we
offer Mrs. Westmoreland’s ideas as food for
reflection. But it strikes us that this act
of the legislature of the “bay State” is again

arts be grafted upon the education of boys,
as well; for surely they stand in need of pre
cisely such a provision. Nine tenths of our
youths to-day leave college with Latin and
Greek and some ideas about oratory which
impel them at once into a professional ca
reer, already overstocked and crowded.
Turn your eyes to your own sex, gentlemen
and see if no improvement cannot there be
suggested.
These ideas may indeed be defective, if so
we would like to be corrected, but as the
case now stands we present our two object
ions as amendments to the Massachusetts
bill, which in its purpose may be eminently
considerate and patriotic.
At each
triennial meeting, said Board of Trustees
shall, by ballot, select from their number,
eighteen member.-*, who shall be known as,
and styled tho “ Board of Regents for the
University,” who shall serve for the term
of three years, and w ho shall be charged
with the duties of the immediate adminis
tration of the business affairs of the Univer
sity, and shall be vested with all the powers
of the present Board of Trustees, excepting
that the said Board of Kegeuts shall not
be authorized, uuless empowered by the
Board of Trustees, to convey any of the
property of said University, or to make any
expenditures ou account of said University,
excepting for books, apparatus and furni
ture, and excepting ordinary current ex
penses, and excepting repairs required upon
the property of the University. In case of
any vacancy in said Board of Regents, the
President of the Board of Trustees, shall,
from the Board of Trustees, appoint a
member to fill the unexpired term.
Section 5. Re it further enacted by
the authority aforesaid, That at the tri
ennial meeting of said Board of Trustees to
be held in the year 1879, the said Board
shall by ballot fill the vacancies caused by
the expiration of the terms of office of those
members of the Board elected under this
act, for the term of three years. And the
members so elected, shall be elected for the
full term of nine years. And at each suc
ceeding triennial meeting of said Board, the
members thereof shall by ballot, fill the va
cancies in said Board, caused by the expira
tion ot the term of office of the members of
said Board and all members so elected, shall
be elected for the full term oi nine years.
In case of a vacancy or vacancies in said
Board, the Board shall fill the unexpired
term or terms by election by ballot.
Section 6. Re it further enacted by
Hill.—Ben Hill was invited by the Dem
ocrats of Bangor, Maine, to celebrate
Washington’s birthday with them. As he
was unable to go, he writes them a long
letter, thankiug them for the honor, aud
exhorts (lie people of the North to arise
above the ignoble passions and rebuke their
demagogues who would promote the strife
of section*. “Gather then around the
cradle of liberty in celebrating the birthday
of Washington, and invoke a return of the
spirit of the founder of the Republic,” he
concludes. Well said, Mr. Hill! well said!
GEN. COLQUITT AND TUB SOUTHERN
LIFE INSURANCE COMPART.
Wa have seen an item friskily floating
around in the papers and have heard it
whispered by certaiiLfMUties, that General
Colquitt's gubernatorial chances have
been seriously injured by the failure of the
Southern Life Insurance, of which he was
a Georgia 'representative. Gen. Colquitt
being merely the Vice-President of this
Company, as a matter of course, the same
financial disaster has likewise undermined
the popularity of iu noble President, Sena
tor John & Gordon. Now, the failure of
this Company, resulting from the Memphis
Directory assuming the policies of the
M Carolina Life," no blame whatever can be
attached either to Gordon or Colquitt.
How then has it injured these .two gentle
men? How has it impaired the popularity
of Gordon, how shaken the public confi
dence in Colquitt? Has any dishonesty
been traced" to ether of them? If so,
prove it. Does the failure of a Company of
which he was the Agent, prove Colquitt’s
inability to manage Georgia’s finances?
Not «t all .The' business of the Georgia
branch of this Company ia-.shown to have
been most successfully conducted—the
blame, if you are pleased to find any, cannot
therefore be imputed to him. The whole
idea is so supremely ridiculous, that we
mast assign the brain of some hot-headed
enemy of Gen. Colquitt’s as iu birthplace,
and upoa whose leaden ASgia we can de
tect the gorgon of enmity and malice.

7HE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
This body has adjourned, and while its
session has produced nothing very startling,
we presume that no harm has been done.
Relief to our people, as has been wisely
said, can come only from industry, and leg
islation, while it can 'assist, cannot create
prosperity. The Code has not been “mang
led” as some are please to state, and no ex-
s of public legislation can be complained
o£ We thiuk therefore, that the many
imputations, and fault findings thrown up
to the body have been both ungenerous
and uncalled for, and though generally, too
obscure in origin and weak in character to
do much harm, they show a decidedly
Small disposition on the part of the disaf
fected. The multitude of local bills which
flooded the Senate and House have come
directly from the people themselves into
the hands of their representatives. We
agree with Gregg Wright about this matter,
and heartily add, “Hon. Potopher Pea-
green, depart in peace.” '
National Democratic Convention.
—The National Democratic Convention to
nominate President and Vice-President has
been colled to meet in St. Louis, June 27.
The National Democratic Committee met
at Washington and was presided over by
Hon. Augustus Schell Charles D. Jacobs,
Mayor of Lbbiaville, read a paper drawn fay
the Kentucky delegation in taror of holding
the Convention in that city. Louisville is
the Democratic metropolis of a Democratic
State that gives 40,000 majority; a State ao
uniformly Democratic shonld meet with
some regard for her adherence to troth,
right and justice; The State of Kentucky
is central and has no sympathy with the
ultraism of any section. Kentucky had no
son to present for nomination, and, there,
fore, the deliberations would'be free from
improper influences. Kentucky, however
would cheerfully acquiesce in whatever the
Convention ought deride.
Notwithstanding this plausable appeal
however, St. Louis, Mo, was selected by
two votes over Chicago.
