Wb know of no subject of moro importance to Iho country than that of education in the South. Accustomed as we of the North have Win to our systems of public schools, afford ing the blessings ot education to the manses almost without money and without price, and securing a general diffusion of knowledge among the great body of the people, we can hardly imagine the true state of the case at the South. Under tho slave dispensation there were no public schools such as prevail at the North. In the first place, it was not desirable that tho black people should be educated. The slave who could read or write was looked upon as a dangerous piece of property. Hence, to teach him to do so was a criminal offense under the slave laws. And, in the second place, the constitution of Southern society, with its vast plantations and scattered inhabitants, made it impossible to sustain any system of general public education even for tho whites. The result was, that while the children of wealthy planters were taught by tutors or in private schools, or sent to tho North, and while in the cities and larger villages something was done for public education in the way of select schools or academies, the great mass of the people, both white and black, grew up in almost unrelieved ignorance. That large class of the Southern population known as "poor white trash" were as illiterate and degraded as the lowest black slaves. It is a state of things growing out of such facts as these that we are now called upon to confront. The mighty ploughshare of revolu tion has overturned everything in tho South. There are no longer masters and slaves there, but only people. To these people the great work of reconstructing State Governments has been assigned by Congress. Every vestige of the old aristocracy is to be swept away. The former master is to deposit his ballot by the side of his late slaves, his vote counting for no more than that of the humblest of his late chattels. Not only so, but these people are soon to become equal participants, under the Constitution, with us, of political power in the general Government. The two Senators from South Carolina, with her 21)1,000 whites and her 412,000 blacks, will count for just as much as the two from Pennsylvania, with her three millions of inhabitants. We are trying the democratic experiment on a vast scale. Shall it succeed f Now it must be evident that in the educa tion of these Southern millions, white and black, there is a field for the noblest exertions of philanthropy and statesmanship. And it is a source of great congratulation that, just at this juncture, Mr. Peabody has stepped in with his munificent gift to lead the way, and call the attention of the people to this great sub ject. We are rejoiced to see that the Trustees of the Peabody Fund have wisely concluded to make Trimary or Common School education the leading object in the efforts they are abou to put forth. This is commencing in the right way. Take care of the education of the masses in Common Schools, and the Academies, Col leges, and Universities will follow in due time. What we want now is to reach the great body of the people with the elements of useful knowledge. And in this connection, we must not omit to commend the wise liberality of the Appletons, publishers in New York, in the gift to the Trustees of the Peabody Fund of one hundred thousand volumes of school Looks, adapted to the use of Common Schools. Other publishers might well emulate their example. Indeed, why may not this Peabody fund be made the nucleus of a great national movement for Southern education ? The Board of Trustees of that Fund have already offered the position of General Agent, under whose supervision the work is to be carried on, to one of the most able educators in the country, the Rev. Dr. Sears, President of Brown Uni versity. He will probably accept of the office, and we shall shortly behold the good work in full operation. At the same time those other agencies through which Northern philanthropy has already commenced the work of education among the Southern masses, and which have already done a noble work, should be en couraged and upheld. The field is broad enough to absorb all the labor that can be ex pended on it. The work is vast enough to tax the energies of all who love their country, and desire to see the blessings of education diffused throughout all its borders. Hiikridan Puts His Foot Down. General Sheridan's prompt removal of those three in lamouB men, Mayor Monroe, of New Orleans, Andrew S. Herron, Attorney-General of the Provisional State Government of Louisiana, and Edmund Abell, Judge of tho Provisional District court oi iNew urleans, will send a thrill of delight through the breast of every loyal 'citizen. They are the men who plotted and engineered the horrible New Orleans massacre, and whose hands have never yet been washed clean of the innocent blood shed upon that occasion. The judgment of the people and of their Congress in regard to these notorious Reikis lias at last been vindicated. General Sheridan deserves public thanks. If the Re construction act had accomplished nothing niore than the removal of these creatures, whose presence in official position has been a constant disgrace w iuo wuuuj, it wuum bare deserved the pupport w all good eitueaa THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THUItSDAY, Should Cabinet Minister be Subject to the Legislature T Tub speeoh of the Duke de Persigny in the French Senate has turned the attention of the French journals and people to the pro priety of making the Ministers ot State respon sible to the legislative department of Govern ment. Tho debate caused a comparison to be instituted between the British and Americau systems, and a discussion of their relative merits. Our readers all know that in Great Britain the Ministers of the Crown sit in both Houses of the Parliament, and are liable to be displaced from office by a vote of the lower Houses. In the United States, on the contrary, the Cabinet is entirely free from all legislative coercion, and can only be removed by that complex system of impeachment, the very complicity of which is the best safeguard against its abuse. In France, however, the Ministers, while they sit in the Chambers, are not directly responsible to them. In fact, It seems as though tho real condition of affairs were allowed to remain vague for fear of the result of any definite settlement. The ques tion, however, was brought directly before the Upper House by the speech of the Duke, who, after contrasting the two systems of America and England, emphatically favored that of America. It is evident that the public men of Europe have watched with eager eye the effect of the war on the various peculiari ties of our governmental structure, and have drawn their own deductions. The Duke de Persigny declares that, had American Minis ters lmen subject tothe Legislature, like those of England, tho war would not have been brought to a successful conclusion, aud he made a strong case out of this argument : "Take the case of America during the lata war. The Chambers oi the North were as ar dent as the Government for the conquest or theHouth; but suppose that responsible minis ters had been sitting In them, do you suppose the issue would have been the same? Certainly not. At every battle lost there would have been a change of ministry, au upset of the Stale, and the rout of the armies would have exletided to all men's minds." There is, indeed, a great deal of force in this idea, and we of America, looking only at the great result, lose sight of tho many seem ingly slight variations of our national system, which have really been the salvation of the republic. Having thus given an instance of the safety of the American plan, the orator gives a characteristic and novel reason why the British Government did not actually en deavor to destroy the Union: "Look at the attitude of England during that struggle. The sentiments ot our neighbors were not doubtful. Assuredly their wishes were not for the re-establishment or the Union. Never was a finer occasion presented to free England for some centuries from her American nightmare. Hut her responsible ministers were there! They counted the ranks of their adversaries so many Radicals will vote for the Union from political passion, so many Tories, who, though they wish lor the same things as Ilia Whigs, will vote against them to tu'n them out. Before this calculation they stopped short, inert and discouraged; and the Goddess Oppor tunity escaped their powerless hands." The Duke then declared emphatically in favor of the American plan, aud urged the Senate to adopt a law similar to that of the United States. "Wo have before us two courses one, to choose the English liberty, in which it would bo necessary to change our interior organiza tion nnd hand tho Ad mini! ration to a class of rich, independent men; or, on tin; other hand, if we wish.to maintain, as in America, our de mocratic society with our organ i.ntiou of de mocratic functionaries-, then we must renounce, us in America, subordinating our Ministers to the Chambers, leaving tho palm of eloquence to the speakers in the Assemblies, and treeing the Ministers irom the preoccupation or aeoaie, und placing them under the sole authority of the Executive ,ower." Some time since it was moved in Congress to allow the Cabinet officers seats in the two Houses. We think that General Banks was the father of the idea. The proposition met with some favor, and has not yet Leon defi nitely acted upon. It is well for U3 to look well at the advantages of the various systems of government which have come down to us from our forefathers. They had good cause for any peculiarities, and in the present case we cannot but think our plan of rendering Cabinet officers irresponsible to Congress a good one. That it is attracting the attention of all the Old World is well attested. Only a lew days since John Bright referred to this peculiarity, and was accused of a desire to 'Americanize Parliament." There must be some great merit in it, otherwise it would not be favored by so many of the Liberals of Europe. If it has the disadvantage of retain ing in power a Secretary of State in whom the people have lost all confidence, and who could not command a half-dozen votes in either branch of Congress, vet it undoubtedly tends to promote the freodom of the Legisla ture, and also of tho Cabinet itself; and has in the past, as the Duke well observes, "served the American nation." We hope that we will hear no more of the proposed alteration in our system of responsibilities. There is one other matter on which the Duke spoke, and which we would commend to general attention. He declares that the good secured to a nation by eloquence is far inferior to the injury done to it bv too much talking. It is One of tlltt fnilmo-u .f mi r rmltliit men. Their "un.lW nun-,,.,.. i .a Whiff ier nnll.4 them, have done far more damage than the light they have thrown upon a subject can compensate for.

The Annual Message of the Mayor of Philadelphia. LLHBwnmtR in our paper to-day we publish the able and exhaustive Message of the Hon. Morton McMichaol, Mayor of our city. It is a carefully prepared document, reviewing the workings of the various Departments of the corporation, and laying before Councils a succinct account of the condition of eaoh branch of Municipal Government. The great body oi the Message is taken up with the dis cussion of the three great interests of the city its finances, its police, aud its water supply The Mayor states if not in words, at least by implication that, while the finances are not in such a dangerous condition as they might have been, yet they can hardly be called in that state which is conducive to the prosperity of the Corporation: "The funded debt of the city on the 1st day of . nonary, iaoo, amounted io S,J.i,S7,7!H1i0, which vun lumcuttu uy mc issue oi ciiy loans, as lot lows: J .xpensos incident to the war Jl,fn,40V00 uiuer expenses 1,488,6X5-81 2,532,lW5-8l From which deduct: LoniiH redeemed by City 'J i (-usurer 1105,09172 Lou us cancelled by Com missioners oi (Sinking Fund l,0On,M370 1,204,2-8M2 Actual increrme of the during the year funded debt Total funded debt of the city, Jan. j, i3Ui nnciuuing oasu balance on hand January 1, 18(it 93-5,105.02135 Tho entire receipts of tho city trea Bury uuruiK me past year were Tiie total expenditures of the city lor the same period were 9,10,802-81 8,392.370 -02 The receipts for taxes amounted to $4,810, 751 The creation of the Sinking Fund and its pre sent condition is treated of at length. The figures show a remarkable proportion of taxa tion, requiring for the annual appropriation to the Sinking Fund 2(j 30-100 per cent, on the value of the property assessed, or $431,415; to which add 1 37-100 per cent, for the annual interest on the loans, or $2,250,000, and the total is 1 b'3-1000 per cent., or $2,081,445 for 1SG7. His Honor well remarks: "A sufficient burden of the kind to satisfy every one that only improvidence could have allowed its accumulation, and that nothing but very extraordinary causes will justify its increase." Viewing the heavy annual demands on our city treasury, the Mayor proceeds to discuss that most rotten of all our systems that of assessment. He calls attention to the gross irregularities, and contrasts Philadelphia with New York and Boston: "In 1'lilladelpliin, In 1855, the assessed value of real estate was $132,000,000; 1805, $1"0,000,000; 18b7, $100,3.511,1 00. "In Boston, in 1855, the assessed value of real estate was S130,aJO,OOJ; 1805, SiiOl.tiUO.UU); 1807,' fii,7oO,iHX). "In New York, In 1855, the assessed value of real estate was $3J7,00U,OJO; 1805, 8127,4uO,OO0; 1SU7, (-170.000,000. "Ihe assessment of real estate has increased iu New York In twelve years S142,Wl,oo); in lioston, $8,i500.000s iu Philadelphia, 28.W,hk). During this period the growth of Philadelphia litis been very great, ana the whole increase iu the twelve years, as represented by the assess ment. Ib not more than the increase of one prosperous year taken out of the twelve." Yet notwithstanding its inefficiency, our system is the most expensive of any that can be devised. We hoartily join with his Honor in urging that a new department be created, which will have charge of the whole subject, and be independent of mere local prejudices. Such a reformation is essential to our city's credit. We are glad to see the city executive speaking plainly against the mistaken action of Councils in making insufficient appropriations, and letting the deficiency be met by a loan, rather than lose political prestige by fixing the needed rate. The Message well says: "Unlortunately, however, from causes which are easily understood, low rates have beeu often levied, with a consciousness of their in suilicleucy; and thus deflciencies from year to year have occurred, to be covered by lo.ius. The representatives of an intelligent commu nity should bu governed by fixed principles, and it is due both to themselves and their constituents that the provisions by taxation, with the revenue from other sources, should be alwuys equal to the expenditure for the year." The tax per capita in New York is $22; in liostcn $34; and in Philadelphia $11; which proves that there is no good cause for such wilful deficiency. The people have to pay heavier in the end, and it is sound economy to pay debts at once and save the interest. The second subject for examination is the Police force. There are engaged in the de partment 843 men, of which number OSS are patrolmen. It is obvious that such a force is insufficient. New York has 1800 patrolmen, and while increase of expense may at present be opposed by some, yet we think it is more economical for property owners to pay a slight increase of tax, and have their real estate and persons made secure. Put we have so often iavored such a step that we will not argue it here. Tho number of arrests made amount to 43,220, of which 20,079 were for intoxica tion and 29 were for murder. His Honor states his convictions in regard to the useful ness of the detective force. In his deductions, however, we cannot mittiiisiastienllv ioin. He promises to continue to prevent corner louug' Ing, and, yet further, abolish that nuisance We agree with the Mayor that the present police condition of our city is a decided iui provement over what we have been accus tomed to. i The extension of the water supply, bo vitally interesting to every inhabitant, is dis cussed at length: t "Itis admitted on all hands that, in the pre sent condition of the Honuyiklil, the works at aud adjacent to l'alrmouut cauuot much longer be made available for tho supply of even thai portion of the city which Is now dependent on them, (supposing their capacity to be sullioienl, which we know ltis not, theBteadlly increasing impurities thrown into the Bireani airord rea sonable ground for apprehension that the water uiay become permanently unwholesome, as it is now frequently unpalatable." Yet, at the same time, his Honor doubts the propriety of preventing the erection of manu factories, observing that Philadelphia ewes muob of her nnommnlnd growt h and prosperity lo the facilities she has furnished lor manufacturing under favorable condit ions, and tier progress hereafter will be materially lunuenoen by similar causes, ilow far it may be expedient to interfere with tbls growth and prosperity, and to limit this pro gress, Is a pregnant inquiry; but at the same time no commercial sacrifice can be equal to the want of pure and healthful water. Happily, however, we need not be embarrassed by either alternative. If It be desirable to seek other sources of supply than the Schuylkill, they can be found within convenient dlstnnce. and under favorable auspices; or If it be more desirable to continue the use of that stream, means of puri fication and enlargement can be empiored which will enable us to do so without harsh dis till bance of vested rluhls, or damaging interpo sition against prniiuseu no vanmge. uut mea- j sores must be immediately adopted to solve these problems, and provide a remedy for the threatened evil." He recommends the appointment of a scien tific commission to determine on the needed improvement. Having thus glanced at the Messago, so far as its principal topics are concerned, we must commend it as a model municipal dooument. It is of exactly the right spirit, design, and compass; and his Honor has demonstrated his ability to draft an official document, as well as to act as the executive head of a great city. For ten years Philadelphia has been fortunate in the choice of her Mayors; and she would be blessed indeed, if always in the future she could secure so able, courteous, and honest a chief magistrate as the present incumbent. In concluding his Messnge, he reverts to the legis lation on city affairs at I larrisburg, and, quoting his own words, we assent most heartily to every sentiment which they contain: "Of late years it has become too much the custom to settle at llarrlsburg the atl'alrs of Philadelphia. I do uol sneak of such legisla tion as is beyond the scope of our chartered rowers. But as to things that are purely muni cipal in their character for example, the supervision of our thoroughfares, and kindred local matters the Councils of the city, not the General Assembly of the 8tate, are ihe. proper law-makers. And I go further, and aver that whatever concerns the city alone, and does not involve principles of general application, be fore a final decision is reached, the city, through its recognized organs, should oe consulted. "Hut when our functions are usurped or dis regarded, wheu measures ati'ecting the city, and tho oily only, are adopted without our sauc lion, or in despite of our remonstrances, we are const) ained to protest against conduct which we cannot but regard as discourteous to the otiiees which we have been called to till, and Inimical to the iuterests we are sworn to bus tain." The New York Legislature Upon tub Question of Suffrage. The action of the Legislature of New York is being misrepre sented upon the suffrage question. The pro- sent Constitution of that State restricts the right of suffrage in regard to colored men to those worth two hundred and fifty dollars. An effort was made to remove that restriction by legislative enactment in the vote to be taken for members of the proposed Constitutional Convention, but the majority of tho Legisla ture were of the opinion that it could not be legally done. This was the view also taken by the Republican State Committee. There is no opposition on the part of New York Repub licans to the removal of the restriction by the Constitutional Convention, when it shall assemble. Nor do we believe that opposition to its removal will be made a party issue by the Democrats. On the contrary, from pre sent appearances, they are much more likely to manoeuvre with the hope of catching as large a portion of the colored vote as possible. Off for Connecticut. Senator Doolittle has gone to Connecticut to take the stump against the Republican party. It is suggested that Collector Smythe and Mrs. Perry are about to follow his example.
