Washington and Jefferson and the Continental Congress sought to establish in the Northwest Territory, was omitted in the measures adopted for the reconstruction of the South. Those measures established universal suffrage. The principles of the fathers require that they should also have provided for universal education. This would have been comparatively unimportant if the number of illiterate voters hud been small. The vast extent of the evil is now only too well known. The total nnmber of men of voting age who could not read and write in the late slave holding States, was in 1870. 1,1(37.000. In 1800 the number of illiterate voters had increased to 1,350.000. In each of eight Southern States the illiterate voters exceed in number the majority of votes ever cast even at the most exciting election**. Most seriously important of ail. the illiterate voters of the South have in the last ten years increased almost two hundred thousand. This increase of ignorant voters exceeds the nnmber of votes cast in any one of twenty of the States at the last presidential election. It will not. I trust, be thought that I would disparage the efforts that have been made since the war by the churches, by philanthropic associations, and by individuals to uplift the colored people of the South. Far from it. The figures of the census are spread before you to show the magnitude of tire work we are considering, and to show that it can be dealt with only by the whole power of our now united people. Under slavery there could be no system of free schools. The general education both of white people and ot colored people was wholly neglected. Only the iar_e property holders of the South were provided with educational facilities. They hud in their own States schools, academies And colleges, and the best colleges of the North, and the universities of Europe were open to them. But when the war ended the impoverishment of the South was more complete and disastrous than ever before befell a wealthy and civilised community. Their la >s remained, but they were wasted by the . .ages of war. Their labor system was de troved, and their currency and credits frisked with the Confederacy, Without capital, without credit, without, a labor system, and burdened with debt they were in no condition to establish free schools. The colored people were eager to learn. To them education was a badge ot freedom. But incumbered with we know not how many centuries of barbarism behind them, and certainly with two or three centuries of bondage. they were utterly helpless to do anything which presupposes knowledge and experience in relation to the complex methods and organizations of social life in highly rivi fixed communities. The difficulties of the situation iu the 3outu are manifestly due to slavery. The illiteracy of large masses of blacks and whites, the lack of familiarity with school organization, the indifference and hostility to education, the impoverishment of the late slaveholders, and the inability of the colored j*eopie to bear the expense of schools, either public or private, are all results of slavery, and stand like a wail in the way of educational progress. I do not debate the question who was responsible for slavery. It is perhaps enough to Bay that the Union and constitution breathed into this nation the breath of life. To the Union and to the constitution we are indebted for our present prosperity, power and prestige and the still more inspiring future which lies before us. The Union and the constitution, to which we owe all we are and have been, contained and recognized slavery. All who took part in forming the Uuion or in framing the constitution, all who maintained them down to the war which brought emancipation are in some degree and in some sense responsible for slavery. The only American citizens who are in no way responsible for slavery and its consequences are the sons of Africa. “They are here by the crimes of our ancestors and the misfortunes of theirs.” And it is especially these colored people who now eagerly and with uplifted hands implore the nation for that light which education alone can give, and without which they cannot discharge the duties which the constitution requires by making them citizens and voters. In the history of popular education nothing is better settled than this: The only power able to establish and support an efficient system of universal education is the government. In the South, bv reason of slavery and its pernicious legacies, to provide for the free education of all by State authority, is simply impossible. Tiie colored peoole were held in bondage, and therefore in ignorance, under the constitution of the nation. They were set free and made citizens and voters by the most solemn expression of the nation's will, and now, tlierefore, the duty to lit them by education for citizenship and suffrage is devolved upon the whole people. The Southern States, with commendable zeal, have begun the work. The best minds in those States support it. The intelligent and able general agents of the Peabody fund, of the Slater fund, and of many philanthropic enterprises in the South, all concur in reporting that the educational work of the Southern State governments is generally in capable and trustworthy hands. What is now needed is pecuniary aid—that aid which the nation is abundantly able to furnish. Ignorance. if widespread, anywhere in our country fits perils the welfare of every other part of the United States and of the whole Nation To educate all the citizens of the United States, is at once onr highest duty and our highest interest. Education is the friend of whatever is most to be desired in civilized society. It is hostile only to that which is bad. There is no safe foundation for free governments without it. Let mein conclusion recall to your minds weighty words spoken fifty years ago by Edward Everett: “We have in the order of Providence allied ourselves to a family of sister communities. We have called them into a full partnership in the government; the course of events has put crowns on their heads and scepters in their hands, and we must abide the result.” The real government in this country is that o( opinion, and with the means and authority for universal education in our hands, it is “optional with us whether the power to which we have subjected ourselves ghali be a power of intelligence or of ignorance; a reign of reflection and reason, or a reckless strength; a reign of darkness or of light.” To complete reconstruction and regeneration in the South the only force now left to the government or the people is popular education. Let national aid to this good cause be withlield no longer. Let it be given by wise measures based on sound principles and carefully guarded. But let it be given promptly, generously and without stint, to the end that the whole American people, of every race and of every nationality, may be reared up to the full stature of manhood required for intelligent self-government under our republican institutions. At the conclusion of the address, Clarence Bowen, son of 11, C. Bowen, one of the editors of the New York Independent, read a pleasing poem on “Our Country,” written for the occasion by John Greenleaf Whittier. Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, spoke for an hour and a half on national evils and the remedies required to exterminate them, touching the liquor question at length. The next speaker was John B. Gough, who made a temperance address with just enough patriotism woven in to make it specially fitting to a Fourth of July celebration. The audience then joined in singing “Praise God from whom all blessing flow,” and the benediction closed the programme at *.r>. Following was the exhibition of Japanese day fireworks, in fantastic groups. A boat race wn3 rowed on the large lake at twilight Ly local amateurs, and the day's festivities

wound up with a display of fireworks. Nothing happened to mur the enjoyment. Mr. Hayes said, “While I am a very weary man, I must say my visit lias been very pleasant, and the Woodstock people ought to appreciate Mr. Bowen’s generosity in catering to tiieir comfort.” ■ " ■ - ♦ — NKW YORK. Return of a Rattle-Flag by Virginians -Tlie KXMViMM. Nkw York. July 4.— The fourth was a holiday hereabouts. The first company of the Washington Continental Guards, of Charleston, 3, C., took part with the veterans of 1312 in raising a flag at the Battery, after which they visited Washington's headquarters,on Broad street,marched across Brooklyn bridge and took a steamboat for Newburg, where they visited Washington’s headquarters. The cadets of the Military Institute of Virginia marched, after 9 a. m., from the Sixty-ninth regiment’s armory to the Fifthavenue Hotel, where, after stacking arras in the corridor, they entered the reception-room, where President Arthur awaited them. Addressing the cadet corps, he said: “Gentlemen of the cadet corps—l am glad of your visit to this city upon an errand of peace and good-will which has hurried your steps hifherway. It affords me the opportunity and pleasure of presenting these diplomas to the members of your graduating class. I regret that other engagements will prevent my presence at City Hall, where you purpose discharging your interesting mission, but I wish here to express the hope and confidence that henceforth, whenever the flag of a New York regiment shall be assailed, if tiie gallant soldiers of Virginia are near they will be prompt and eager to defend it.” The President then presented their diplomas to the graduates. The cadets then marched to City Hall, where they were received by the Corcoran Legion and escorted to the Governor’s room. There were present Mayor Edson, military gentlemen, members of the board of aldermen, and twenty-five veterans of the One-hundred-and-sixty-fourth regiment. The flag was then presented. A collation followed, and the cadets marched back to their quarters. TOE DAY ELSEWHERE. Chicago Treated to a Grand Display of Sky Fireworks. Chicago, July 4.—Advices from points through the Northwest indicate a very general observance of the national anniversary, though with less in the way of set programmes and speech-making than usual. In this city there was no formal public celebration. The races at the Driving Park and four professional ball games furnished the sportively inclined with amusement. As for the remainder of the population many went picnicking to the country round about, and to the parks, and on the lake the excursion boats were crowded. After nightfall there was an unusually large number of illuminations and private pyrotechnic displays. Nature herself seemed in accord with the general rejoicing. the southern heavens blazed with sheet-lightning, and in the west there was the most magnificent display of forked lightning. Starting at a central point the belts radiated in every direction, zigzagging across the firmament with a brightness beside which the brilliant reds, greens and pnrple of the roman candles and rockets were as a penny taper beside a limelight. At 9 o’clock the rain began falling fast, and the heaven’s artillery drowned the multitude of gunpowder clatter. Advices to this hour (10 o’clock) indicate that the day has been unusually tree from accident to life or property. Cleveland. Cleveland, July 4.—A grand military fete was given on the race-course to-day, including a review, prize drills and an exciting sham battle. The Continental Guards, of New Orleans, took part in the parade, but did not compete for prizes, or participate in the sliam battle, which represented the engagement before Atlanta. June 22, 1864. Twenty companies of militia from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, which formed the opposing armies, also drilled for prizes. Three regular officers. detailed from Fort Wayne and Detroit, were the judges. The first prize was awarded to the Detroit Light Guards, the second to the Detroit City Grays, and the third to the Wooster, 0., City Guards. The judges spoke flatteringly of the Palmer Guards, a colored company from Columbus. The Continental Guards gave an exhibition drill and revolutionary tableau to-night in the Opera-house, alter which they were handsomely entertained in the armory by the Cleveland Grays. Cincinnati. Cincinnati, July 4. — There was no formal public celebration here to-day, but business was almost wholly suspended. Picnics and pyrotechnic displays drew great crowds to all the hilltop houses. A balloon ascension was undertaken at the Highland House, but the storm disabled the balloon so that the gas escaped, and when the balloon was cut loose it was blown over against a house aud collapsed. Aeronaut Williams was painfully though not dangerously injured. Two games of base ball were played, with a very large attendance. Celebrations were very general throughout the State. At Leesburg the Grand Army of the Republic controlled the ceremonies. Judge Foraker, the Republican candidate for Governor, delivered the oration. Four thousand people assembled at Millersbursr. 0., and 15,000 at Mansfield, 0.. where afire companies’ contest took place. Toledo. Toledo, July 4.— lndependence Day was observed on a larger scale than has characterized a similar occasion in many years. The order of exercises included the laying of the corner-stone of the soldiers' memorial building, a street parade, addresses by lion. John R. Osborne and General Gibson, a sham battle in commemoration of the battle of Stone river, and a brilliant display of fireworks to-night at League park. The weather was very hot, the mercury at noon standing at 95°in the shade. College Corner-Stone Laid. PrrEBSBI'RO. Va., July 4. —The corner-stone of the State Normal and Collegiate Institute, to be erected on Fleet’s farm, was laid this afternoon by Most Worshipful Grand Master Thomas Clayton, of Hampton, in the presence of an immense crowd.

Norfolk, Alexandria aud other sections of the State. Addresses were delivered by A. W. Harris, secretary of the board of visitors of the Collegiate Institute; Peter J. Carter, rector of the institute, and Prof. R. T. Greener, of Washington. Senator Mahone was present. Tim building will cost SIOO,OOO. Oregon Convict*’ Effort to Escape.

AQUATIC, TURF AND PIKLD. Haitian, Hamm and Hosmer Pull a Fine Itace at Lowell. Troituif anil Running HacA nt Chicago and Miinjr Other PoiuU-ltiibe Rail Game*. AQUATIC RACKS. A Splendid Poll Between Hamm and Hon* •tier at > owe!!. Lowell, Mass., July 4.—The regatta was the most successful ever held here. The principal race and great attraction was the professional single scull, free for all, for prizes of S4OO. S2OO aud SIOO, distance three miles. There were seven entries, but only five started—Haitian, Hosmer, Hamm, Conley and Gai9el, of New York. First money -bad been universally awarded to Hanlan, but there was a prospect of a close contest for the second place by Hamm and Hearner. Spellman, of Halifax, ham been coaching Hamm and Conley, and a rumor was prevalent that they would com blue to beat Hosmer, if possible, to get square for their defeat at Chicago. Hamm was considered the favorite, and Hosmer refused to wager $lO on himself on Thursday night. Hamm had the beet position at Me start near the Dracut shore; then came Conley, Gaisel, Hanlan, and Hosmer. Hanlan broke water first at the word go, and got the lead which he held up to the finish. The other men started even except Hamm, who was furthest from the starter and did not hear the word. Hosmer kept well on to Hanlan on the first quarter, Hamm and Conley pulling hard for the third place, leaving Gaisel behind, and he gave up before going half a mile. The other four men kept on to the upper stake in the same relative positions. Hanlan pulling easily, and Ilosmer working like a Trojan to • hold the second place, pushed hard by Conley and Hamm in the order named. Hanlan turned first, Hosmer second. Conley approached the buoy very leisurely, and Hamm was around before him. The race to the finish was a sharp struggle with Hamm to pass Hosiuer, but the latter Beeiued destined to hold the second place. The crowd on the banks shouted to Hosmer to “Do it or die; you've got him, George;” and Ilosmer pulled for all lie was worth, and held his own for half a mile • two boat lengths ahead. Ilamm apparently couldn’t have worked harder. Hanlan was a few boat lengths ahead, Hosiuer working easy, with no time to waste, and Conley came leisurely into the fourlli position, not making much effort, apparently. The finish was splendid. Hanlan spurting ahead at a quick stroke, and letting more daylight between him and Hosmer. Hamm also made a last effort to at least shorten the distance with Hosmer, but was not successful. Hosiuer held the lead, and crossed the line three boat lengths ahead. Hanlau’s tinae, 21:21; Hosmer, 21:24; Hamm, 21:34. Hanlan said the race between the two was the best he ever saw, and thinks Hosmer fairly proved his superiority. He believes Hosmer is as good an oarsman as there is in America, except himself. If is rumored that Hamm’s backers offered to match him against Hosmer. The other races were the single scull, for Lowell men, and working boats, free-to-all, two miles. Both were won by Dan. Driscoll. The four-oared Lowell boat race was won by the Merrimacks in 14:23X. and the fouroared, free-to-all, three miles, was won by the enterprise, of Salem, in 21:42%. - ♦ Rowing- on Charles River, Boston.

Plaisted, who had the inside; George W. Lee, second position; William Elliott, third, and Johu McKay die outside. The race was rowed in spells. Plaisted took the lead from the start, McKay second, and Lee third, but before the stake was reached Lee had passed both and had the lead to the finish, which was reached in 20:50; McKay second, nearly ten lengths behind, In 21:18. Plaisted and Elliott, much to the surprise of the 10,000 spectators, dropped out of the race at the turn.

Horace Eldred, of this city, to-day bought a horse from S. Trefy, which is, to say the least, an equine wonder. He is a bright bay gelding, sixteen hands high, compactly built, and a perfect beauty. He was raised near Salinas City, Monterey county. The price paid was $4,000. After the purchase the horse was driven around the Agricnltural Park course, and made remarkably fast time. The quarter was made in 30 seconds, the half in 1:04, anti the mile in 2:09%. The owner thinks that before fair time this horse will be able to make a mile inside of two minutes. BASIC BALL.

Davenport, la., July 4.—Bishop John McMullen. of the Catholic diocese of Davenport, died at 4 o’clock this morning, after an illness of more than a year’s duration. His ailment was a cancerous affection of the stomach. The funeral occurs next Friday morning at 10 o’clock. He left directions tti-t V shpuld be interred in Davenport. Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, will preach the discourse. John McMullen was born in Ballanahinch, County Down, in the north of Ireland, on March 8, 1833, and was the son of James McMullen, a farmer. In 1837 the family came to what is now the province of Ontario, and settled on a farm, but iu & year moved to Ogdensburgh, N. Y., soon after to Lockport, 111.; and finally, in 1843, to Chicago, where the father became the proprietor of a hotel on Lake street Here John was entered at St. Mary’s College, from which he graduated in 1853, when just entering upon his twenty-first year. After graduation he went to Home where he pursued his studies at the Urban College, commonly called the Propaganda. In 1858 he was ordained a priest, with the degree of doctor of divinity, and, returning immediately to Chicago, was installed as pastor of the St. Louis church. He soon became very active in the work of building up churches in the suburban towns, and many strong congregations in the towns around Chicago were organized by his efforts. In 1863 the corner-stone of the University was laid, and when the building was completed, mainly through his effarts, he became president of the institution. Here he taught Hebrew and philosophy until 1869. when lie took charge of the church at Wilmington, 111. One year later, however, he again returned to his favorite field of labor in Chicago, where he became rector of the Church of the Holy Name. Many of his benevolent and religious enterprises were seriously interfered with by the great fire, and he was compelled to witness the destruction of several edifices which had been erected chiefly through his labors. He continued in the Church of the Holy Name until August, 1877. when he was appointed vicar-general of the diocese. When Bishop Foley died he was chosen to be administrator of the diocese. In the election of a successor to the vacant see, I)r. McMullen was supported by nearly all the clergymen of the diocese, and there was considerable surprise when Archbishop Feehan was selected by the Pope. However, in 1881, when the new diocese of Davenport was erected, the Pope showed his appreciation of the esteem and regard in which Dr. McMullen was held by his fellow-ministers ami appointed him to be the first Bishop of Davenport. Dr. McMullen left Chicago for his new field on the 30th of July, 1881, accompanied by several distinguished dignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church. He was received at Davenport by a large concourse of citizens, irrespective of religious faith, and given the warmest welcome to his new home. His installment took place on the Ist of August, with imposing ceremonies, lie immediately entered upon his new work, and his first undertaking was the building of a handsome and costly church edifice for one of the congregations of tiie city. His quiet digraty and warm-hearted benevolence made him greatly beloved by all classes of persons. Before he went to Davenport his health was not good, and under the hard work entailed by his new position it failed rapidly. In December last his physicians ordered him to California, where he remained for three months without receiving appreciable benefit. He returned to Davenport in March, and continued to yield to the complication of diseases that afflicted him. He has three brothers, one a member of the firm of McMullen & Officer. Chicago, one in Missouri and one in Tennessee. Bishop Pinckney. Baltimore, July 4. —Bishop Pinckney (Protestant Episcopal), of the diocese of Maryland, died at 7 this morning, at the rectory at Cockeysville, Baltimore county.

Why Shonldn’t It Work Bolli Ways? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. If Ohio is to be made a Democratic State by the enforcement of the Scott law, why shouldn’t Missouri be made a Republican State by the enforcement of the Downing law. The Republicans of the Ohio Legislature passed the Scott law, and the Dem-

ocrats of the Missouri Legislature pa*9ed the Downing law. A Republican Supreme Court in Ohio has affirmed the constitutionality of the Sgoti law, and a Democratic Supreme Court in Missouri has affirmed the . constitutionality of the Downing law.

Pending a settlement of the question by Congress, the trade dollar should be given current value as good and sound policy by all merchants. Warm Weather Greeting. Kaunas City Journal.
