Blurs education bill came up. In the Jcune o! the debate which followed, Sir. Vinee spoke in support of the bill. The mioied people, be said, had been freed «d enfranchised by the national govern- merit The Southern States had lost so much and had been s« bled by reptilian lurnet-bag governments that they had not been ableto do as much as they otherwise could have done for the education of the people. Yet those States had been held bv the public opinion of the North to as tirii a standard in advancement in edu cational and other respects as was expect ed of States and people whose civilisa tion and socity had not been dis turbed for one hundred years. « it only was this expected of them, bat e world was made aware of it on every occasion the Southern States had been in vestigated. Now that a bill was brought in to aid those States in educating tbeir colored people, the singular spectacle was preiented of opposition by gentlemen who had been moving all the powers of Con gress in order that the sick calves of Kan sas might be doctored. Some objection might naturally have been expected from strict constructionists, but it came with bad grace from the gentleman from Kan* Mr. Vance would not withhold his sym pathy from the sick cattle, but would not the gentleman from Kansas express his sympathy for the negroes by making illit eracy the basis for distribution. Mr. Vance thought there was no proper basis but illiteracy. Bid the Senators wish to dsitribute the money among college profes sors or membera of Congress? It should he distributed where it was needed: but lir. Vance did not expect the bill to pass. He bad long believed, and be now saw the continuation of his belief, that Senators on the other side of the chamber were louder in professions than in acts in bohsll of the oolored people. While the party which !h«y represented would send emissaries among the colored people to bawl them together for political pur poses, and take tkem to the polls, he bad always thought that when It came to really doing something for these people, it would be s failure. Hence, Mr. Vance was not disappointed. He had no doubt that the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) attach ed more value to the negro as an ignorant person,a fruitful source of Investigation, than he would attach to the negro as an intelligent man and intelligent voter. No doubtlie answered the purpose of that Senator better in ignorance than with In telligence. Mr. Ingalls congratulated Mr. Mr. Ellis excepted to the word “legerde main” used so glibly by the gentleman from Kansas. The object of the resolu tion was not for the relief of sufferers, bat wns to prevent what might be the most ap palling calamity of the age. The wate- of the river was up to the top of the levees, anil whenever the flood waters went over a levee, that levee was doomed. There was nothing between the city of New Or leans and a river sixteen feet above the level ol the city but a dirt wall. The ca lamity that must ensue If the waters rose higher cohid not bo depicted by the hu man tongue. It would be the calamity of the age. Mr. Dunn withdrew any objection, but called attention to the fact that In Ills dis trict the Mississippi river was ninety miles wide. There was the rise coming from the Missouri river supplemented by a great rise out of the overflow of the Ohio river. There were to-day in his district 70/100 people whose houses were flooded. Mr. Itico (Massachusetts) objected to the resolution, saying that it should be con sidered by the committee on appropria tions. The joint resolution was lost—yeas 05, nays 115—but by unanimous consent it was reintroduced by Mr. Ellis and referred to the committee on appropriations. The bill to increase the salaries of United States district judges was again taken up, discussed and passed—yeas 42, nays 13. As passed it makes the salaries of all United States district judges 35,000 per annum and prohibits them from ap pointing to positions In their courts rela tives within the degree of first cousin. The next order of business was the calendar of unobjected cases, subject to the flve-min ute rule. Mr. Call’s joint resolution pro viding for the payment of laborers in gov ernment employ the same wages for holi days as other days was taken up, read three times and passed, without debate. Mr. Blair’s educational bill was taken up as unfinished business, the pending question being on Mr. Harrison’s amend ment to require the States to contribute annually on amount equal to the amount severally received by them from the na tional fund. The discussion was by Messrs. Harrison. Blair, Jones of Florida, George, Allison, Maxey.Coke, Hoar. Sher man and Brown. Sir. Brown said that when the late war commenced neither side thought the slaves would be freed. Provi dence had a deeper design than the Con gress of the United States, and it began in time to be seen that the free dom of the slaves was necessary to the salvation of the Union. At the closo of the war the Southern people were required to incorporate in their constitu tions provisions which clothed the slaves with all the rights ot citizens. The slaves were Irccd as a necessity of the Union. What then became the duty ot the Union? Certainly it was the duty of the Union to take such action as would qualify the newlv-made citizens for the 'duties of citi zenship. It had been a fearful experiment to enfranchise the freedmen in their then condition, but, having freed them, it was clearly the duty of the whole Union to aid the States in preparing them for citizenship. However willing the Southern States were to do this work, the fact was they had been so impoverished by the war that they coaid not do it. Even though tliss individuals were now present as freed men, and the country is no poorer in that sense, yet oil know that the property own ers of the South had lust their property. There lmd keen an actual loss of $500,000,- 000 in the taxable property of the State of Georgia alone,- according to the returns ot the year before end the year afterwards. The States had supi-ortcd front their prop erty all the armies of the Confederacy, ul 11 o’clock Mr. Eaton r * ;ci to odjonrnd, but this motion was df .ed by a large majority, sir. Morr’J? 3 resolution was adopted by 110 to fiS It provides that tlie ways and means bill to reduce war taxes should be considered in committee of the whole, subjeetto amendment, a rea sonable time, and that then the bill should be reported to the House and passed. Sir. Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment that the action of the cau cus should not be binding. Mr. Morrison oflered es a pro viso: “Except so far as In dividual members shall think they ere bound by the action of the majority of the caucus.'’ The amendment and proviso were adopted. Mr. Carlisle then oflered a resolution providing for the repeal of the tax on to bacco, cigars and snuff, and a reduction of the tax on fruit brandy to 10 cents per gal lon. Mr. Carlisle's resolution was carried by 88 to 27, The resolution offered by Mr. Morrison, which was adopted by a vote of 11 1 to 57, is as follows: “Reiolrcd, That the hill commonly known 1 the Morrison (tariff bill shall be taken up for consideration nt the earliest possi ble day and a reasonable time (or debate allowed thereon, and after such debate that a Mil be passed for the reduction of duties and war tariff taxes.” This, before adoption, was amended by Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Morrison by adding the following: “Knotted, futthcr, That the adoption of this resolution shall not be considered binding in controlling the individual action of Democrats except to the extent that each member may feel that he ought to be influenced by the expressed opinion of the majority of bfs associates.” Mr. Carlisle then offered the following resolution, which was adopted bv a vote of 88 to 57: "Rrtokcd, That, in order to reconcile conflicting opinions and to secure legisla tion reducing taxation, the plan of reduc tion of taxes at the present session of Con gress shall embrace n provision re pealing all internal revenue taxes ok tobacco, snuff /,:.d cigars, and the special tax connected therewith, and also reducing the tax on brandy disl tilled from fruit to 10 cents per gallon— provided, that snch repeal and reduction shall not be made except ip correction with the reduction of tariff duties.” The attendance on the caucus was very large—in the early part of the evening there being but ten members absent, aud marks made by him (Logan) the other day, with reference to tho propriety of basing aid upon the number of cnildren and not upon tlie total ot Illiteracy. Mr. Butler agreed that that would be n better basis. It would be Impossible to educate old people, bat of what did edu cation consist anyway? Education did not consist of cramming letters into iieople's heads. The most intelligent man in South Carolina was a man that could not read or write. And there was another consideration, one which Mr. Butler thought of the utmost importance. There was an education more important than book learning; that was the educa tion of the family relation. He thought we had better pause, lest we destroy the education that grows out of the family re lation—tlie education in which the charac ter, honor, integrity and honesty of man had their origin and largest growth. He feared, too, the effects of a measure of this character upon peraonal and private eflort. There was no success in life compared to that which resulted from individual effort, and he would hesi tate before doing anything to discourses It. The people of South Carolina, Mr. Batter continued, were not so badly off in the way of education is might be supposed from the debate which had taken place in the Senate. He cited statements to show what the State had done for the public schools, end said that with the disposition that existed in the South to remove illiter acy there, he could not doubt that the peo ple would eventually succeed in removing it. He would not say it would be done in live years or in ten years, bat it would be done. Mr. Butler was opposed, unal terably opposed, to the tendency growing up all over the land of rushing to the na tional treasury to remove every diflSculty of a local character. He would continue to oppose a policy that he believed would lead to the subversion of the government— a policy that would turn a government of limited constitutional nower into a pater nal govemmmt. For the measure before tlie Senate, Mr. Butler could find no authority in the constitution. Some bad customs had grown up, how ever, and custom bad been used -■1 an argument far this bUl. He did not think the argument sottnd, however. Ho was very anxious to remove illiteracy from tlie people of his State, but be thought that illiteracy and its consequences had been exaggerated, and in any event he could not consent to remove the difficulty by means of a measure of this kind. His State needed money—there was about that. They GREAT STORMS.

FROM ATLANTA. Politics In the New Tenth District—The Position and Probable Candi dates—Notes. [SPECIAL COREEHrOhDEUCE.] Atlahta, March 25.—Politics in the nevr tenth Congressional district are not getting a fair share of notice over the State. While the discussion of State politics is waxing warmer, this district is entitled to far greater attention in Georgia than it is now receiving, for the reason that it is a new district, a new political creation, and its first regularly chosen rcpreo<?ntative will be watched with more than ordinary interest, not only for that reason, but that he will follow lion. Thomas Hardeman, who is now so ably representing it as eon- grf«sninn at large. The new district is made up of the fol lowing counties: Burke, Columbia, Glass cock. Jefferson Johnson. Lincoln, Mc Duffie, Richmond, Taliaferro, War ren and Washington. It has a score or more of brilliant names, distinguished men, whose reputation covers the SjAte. who might fitly and ably represent 1 !! at Washington. Richmond, of course, is naturally the pivotal county, and has not been alow in taking tho front seat. She has been zeal ously nursing tho Barnes “boom” until the notion has, in a small degree, gone abroad that there is hardly a chance for any other kin-1 of a Ixmhii. This will bear a little careful sifting. A number of well-informed gentlemen hare been hero for several days, from va rious counties in the district, and my in- formatiou from them is that the district is not so entirely unanimous for Barnes. I give you the impression I have gath- eu from them: There is no special op position to Barnes and no personal fight to be made on him, except that it is claimed that there are better and abler men in the district, men who would be more accepta ble to the people. Ho is a negative cbai ac- ter, of little popularity in the district, and whose nomination would create no cn thusiosm. His chief claim upon tlie party seems to be his service on the national Democratic committee, and tlie warmest friends of that able committee will hardly claim that its past services liavu t>ccn of any great value to the party or the coun try. Major Barnes, if nominated, will un doubtedly receive the undivided support of the Democracy in tho Tenth and it may be THE AUGUSTA BANK ROBBERY. Tho Thieves Captured and Most of the Money Recovered.

No one of the Southern Btates that had been fully recognized ns in rebellion had passed any laws discriminating against the ap plication of the school fund to schools lor colored children. The tame arrange ment existed for both colors. He thought he might, then, under tlie circumstances, fairly ask Senators who were on tho other side of the question in the war to come forward and nelp out those who. while doing their best, could not do all that they could wish or that the country could wish. Aa to the constitutional auction involved, while Mr. Brown declared himself to be a strict con' •tructlonist, he could not but see in the general welfare clause of tha constitution a clause clearly covering so fundamental a consideration aa the education ol the peo ple. If there was anyUxing nec essary for the general welfare in a republic, was it not the education of the people who formed the republic and madeita lewi? If, again, Mr. Brown said, Congreaa had the power to protect men in their exercise of tne ballot, did it not fol low that Congress had the power to pre pare them to cast thatballot.
