Hinckley Gets Ilrnised.
Thebb la something so nearly approaching
the sublime In the impudenoe of this man
Binokley, his audacity is so unparalleled, his
assumptions so unblushing, that, In common
with the world at large, we must lament the
Borrj plights into which he was thrown yes
terday. So long as Binckley held a position
in the seoondary Cabinet of Andrew Johnson,
his achievements were of the highest order.
Indeed, they savored of the heroio in a field
Wherein heroism is seldom displayed. It re
quires no small amount of personal courage
to defy the judicial dogmas of the ages.
BInokley did this thing, however, and
great was hia reward. The world heard
of hia achievements, and the world was
amazed thereat. But Stanbery, in ezoess
of seal for his presidential client, resigned
hia portfolio, and, as we predicted at the
time, did not suooeed in regaining it. This
was bad for Stanbery, but it was worse for
Binokley. Like the disconsolate Moor, he
found "his occupation gone." Then came
Andrew Johnson to the resoue, and Binckley
was thrust into a small niche whioh had
hitherto been overlooked. Onoe more on his
legs, Binokley began to expand, and soon his
proportions became so portly that he jour
neyed to the metropolis, where he hoped to
find abundant room for spreading himself
Binokley was not deceived. In that great
Whirlpool of energy and fraud he found
fall scope for the healthy development of his
two leading traits of charaoter. He succeeded
in again effecting an entranoe into the news
papers by trumping up a scandalous com
plaint against Commissioner Rollins, and for
a time he revelled in his great delight.
But behold his diaoomfiture! Yesterday he
Bent for Mr. Courtney, the United States Dis
trict Attorney of that section. The fame of
Binckley had reaohed the ears of that gentle
man, and he obeyed the summons. lie was
deBlrous of looking upon Binokley in repose
Binokley in action is grand. In repose he
must be gloomy and peculiar. Mr. Courtney
found him all of this, and something more
lie found the illustrious Solicitor of Internal
Revenue a very amusing little creature. In
truth, he found him so playfully dispo3edt
that he was constrained to style him a "con
summate fool," and to knock him down, and
then to pummel him until the illustrious So
licitor begged that his worthless life might be
spared. The course pursued by Mr. Courtney
proves him to be a genius second only to
Binckley in his inventive powers. No man
heretofore ever thought of knocking Binckley
down and pounding him within au inch of his
life. If some one had entertained such a fanoy
a year ago, Binckley might have been sup
pressed at the outset of his career, and the
country would have been spared the contem
plation of the infirmities of mankind as dis
played in the weakest and vainest man to
whom it has ever given birth. Binokley, fare
well t
Public and Private Schools.
The opening of the soholastio year brings as
usual the numerous announcements of the
various private institutions that abound in our
city. Attention to eduoation is one of the
surest proofs of present prosperity and futur8
progress, and we gladly weloome the multipli
cation of all species of schools, aoademies, eto.i
as a sign of national welfare.
There is a prejudice in the minds of many
parents against the publio sohools, arising
from a fear of the associations necessary to
such a mixed assemblage. This, we think,
Is a mistake. The very equality among the
Btudents, paradoxioal as it may seem, operates
as a safeguard against enforced familiarity
The pupils instantly and inevitably lose all the
distinctions of social rank and are merged into
the mass of students. The very number and
variety thus thrown together is a defense to
the individual. There is none of that neces
sity for intercourse existing in the select
eohool, where the fact that the parent is able
to meet "the terms" assures the respectability
of the pupil, and compels a social equality
entirely I ndependent of intellectual merit,
While the teacher, anxiously dependent for
subsistence upon the attendance of the child,
is also nnduly influenced to endure the vul.
garity or overlook the stupidity whioh would
speedily find its true level in the free sohool
Parents wisely considerate of the manners, as
Well aa the minds of their children, fear that
they will beoome rude and boisterous In the
play-ground of the publio sohool, forgetting
that their daughter, who is taught deportment
by the lady prinoipal of theseleot "Aoademy,"
may be thrown into hourly intercourse with
Miss Shoddy, who has inherited "slang" from
her papa and vulgarity from her mamma.
In the publio school association is limited to
the hours spent within the walla of the build
ing, and only a speoial and strong personal
Inclination is apt to single out a companion
from the throng. The wholesome, busy, prac
tical atmosphere that pervades every aotion ia
in Itself an obstacle to the formation of those
lackadaisical "bosom friendships" that are
often as injurious as they are silly.
Intellectual equality is the only rule of asso
ciation, and no better defense against contami
nation can be devised, at least in the more
advanced classes. However it may be in
"ol ildren of a laruer growth," vicious boys
Ad girls are usually mentally Idle and Inat
tentive, and the vulgar-minded are generally
stupid. The Intelligent child of any rank is
stimnlated by the competition, and ambitious
to avail himself of the advantages and honors
so freely open to Industry and merit.
Where parents are able to choose between
the two systems, and where they are unable
or unwilling to undertake the instruction of
young children at home, perhaps the new
sohemea of tuition by "objeota," and the
varied methods borrowed from the German
under the name Kindergarten, may be prefer
able. But even this exoeptlon we would
trace, not to any fault inherent in the publio
system as much as to its being as yet too re
stricted in its operations. The teachers are
too fer in number, and the pupils are there
fore necessarily ineffectually classified.
Many experienced teaohers urge that one
person is incapable of paying sufficient atten
tion to the individual requirements and idio.
synoracies of each member of a class exceed
ing twelve or fifteen in number. If this be
oorrect. or even if it approximates to the
truth, what can be expeoted from the opera
tions even of the most thorough system, when
each teacher ia compelled to superintend
thirty, forty, and sometimes even sixty pupils f
In thus urging the advantages of the publio
Eohool system, and striving to combat the pre-
udiee aeainst it existing in the minds of
many parents anxious to perform their duty,
we would not be understood as opposing the
nrivate schools as they now exist. Hut we
would like to see the question fairly tested'
and the children of the community mar'
shalled into the ranks of the publio institu
tions, under even a larger number of instruc
tors than are now inoluded under the systems.
No matter how excellent the free schools
may beoome, or how muoh money may be
spent on them, there will be always ample
room in a prosperous oountry like ours for the
employment of all persons fitted to be in
structors. Methods of tuition adapted to se
curing suooess in speoial avocations will
always be required by a people so eminently
praotical. Folyteohnio schools, commercial
colleges, farm schools, and an infinite variety
of institutions for direot instruction in the
professions, sciences, arts, and mechanics will
become more necessary and popular every
year. But as a basis for all this, we should
devote most serious attention to the comple
tion and perfection of our present publio
Echool system, as the ground from whioh all
higher and more speoial instruction must
arise. The High Schools for both sexes in
this city have already achieved a great suo
oess, and are fairly entitled to rank as col
leges. They furnish an education amply suf
ficient to the requirements of any citizen not
intending to pursue any speoial soience or art
to its ultimate issue of professional excellence!
and even in that case provide a very complete
preliminary course of instruction fitted for any
later superstructure.
Subdivision of labor leads inevitably to in
creased excellence in every department of
industry, and an additional number of in
structors would have the further advantage
of restricting each professor to a speciality.
Both publio and private schools suffer from
the necessity that compels one individual to
supervise a great diversity of studies. It
cannot be presumed that the adept in mathe
matics is therefore fitted to teaoh elocution, or
that a linguist must be a superior penman;
yet as schools are now arranged teachers are
often required to teaoh a variety of branches,
often including those in which they are unin
terested, or even naturally defioient.
A teacher of even ordinary capacity, re
stricted to that branch for which he is best
fitted, must achieve greater eminenoe than
when his attention is distracted to a variety of
subjeots, and the increased number of instruc
tors would ensure not only better and fuller
attention to the peouliar requirements of each
soholar, but improve the quality and method
of inBtruotion.
" If Aky Mam Attempts to Haul Dowx tiib
American Ylaq, Shoot Him on thb Spot !"
When General John A. Dix gave utteranoe to
these famous words, he struck the key-note
of the struggle for the Union. When the war
had been brought to a close, he arrayed himself
on the side of the Johnsonists, and acted as
temporary chairman of the Wigwam Conven
tion whioh was held in this city in August,
1866. But now he speaks again, and his voice
is as earnest and stirring as it was when, in
1861, he spoke the words which are destined
to live in history. YtBterday we referred to a
letter recently reoeived from him in Washing
ton, in which he unqualifiedly endorsed the
ticket and platform of the Republican party.
To-day we are enabled to substantiate thia in
a very satisfactory manner. The Paris corre
spondent of the New York Uerald, whose let
ter we give in fall elsewhere, announces that
General Dix is unreserved in the expression of
his views on the political situation at home;
that he regards ''the election of Mr. Seymour
at this juncture as a great calamity, and that
the only hope for the peaoe and tranquillity of
the country during the next four yeara ia in
the firmness, good sense, and patriotism of
General Grant." The same correspondent
also states that he has good reason to believe
that Minister Reverdy Johnson holds the same
opinion as General Dix. Where is MuCrackan ?
He is wanted at both Paris and London.
party, he perambulated the country, and dis
coursed on hia favorite dogma of "squatter
sovereignty" in almost every hamlet in the
land. The result was anything but flattering.
And now Horatio has ventured upon the
same line of policy. He has ex
pounded hia views on several occa
sions already, and last evening, in response
to a Eerenade at Albany, he made another
little speeoh. Mr. Seymour assured his
hearers that "he had reoeived from all sections
of the oountry the most earnest assnranoes of
success in the present canvass." Does Mr.
Seymour inolude Vermont in the oountry f
He neglected to enlighten his hearera on that
point. Indeed, as far as our reports show, he
never onoe breathed the word Vermont. Mr.
Seymour further stated the question before
the people to be "whether a policy oould not
be adopted that would give peaoe and tran
quility to the oountry." On that point he
need not remain in ignorance. Such a polloy
is certainly possible. It only remains for the
people to deoide whether the revolutionary
schemes of Frank Blair point to "peaoe and
tranquility," or whether we are to respond in
all earnestness to Grant's grandest utterance,
"Let us have placet"
Democratic Colonization.
Feom some speoial and well authentica
ted facta which have oome to us, we cannot
avoid the conviolion that attempts are being
made by the Demooraoy to colonize the city
of Philadelphia on a scale whioh will throw all
the coffee naturalization papers into the
shade. In all the doubtful Wards deoided
and systematio steps are being taken. At
tempts are made to rent houses for the de
clared purpose of locating boarders with the
landlord, who is, of oourse, in the interest of
these rogues. The Impunity with whioh all
such attempts, when detected, have heretofore
gone unpunished makes them bold in their
efforts to defeat the will of the people. There
are two things requisite at the present time
which will aid in defeating these frauds. The
first is for the block committees of the Repub
lican party (which should by this time have
been in active existence in every preoinot in
our city) to carefully learn the names of all
the bona fide residents, and note them down.
A'ou; is the time for this work. As the ten days
for election approach the colonizers will begin
to enter, so that it will be difficult to distin
guish them from the real residents; but at
thirty days before there need be no oonfusion.
By this means every one who comes into the
oity between new and the election day oan be
watched, challenged, and detected in his un
lawful attempts.
The second step is to let it be distinctly
known that every rasoal found attempting to
thus cheat the law, will be most striotly dealt
with. Because justice has been lax in times
past, ia no reason why she should be so in the
future, and from the character of the gentle
men who will hold the power, we feel con
fident that the defeat of law will reoeive the
severest punishment. If a few only be ar
rested, and sent below, the others will take
flight, and not dare to run the risk. We hope
the Kxeoutive Committee will give the matter
their most earnest attention.
Horatio Skykoub was sorely grieve! to ac
cent the Tammany nomination, because it de
barred him from participating in the Presi
dential canvass. Indeed, hia anxiety to ad
dress his "friends" on the pending issues is
so great, that he cannot, even for the sake o'
common deoenoy, abstain. In 1852, General
Scott, whose bead was oompletely turned by
the prospects of Presidential honors, made two
or three silly speeches to the publio, and
damaged his cause immensely. Stephen A
Douglas was inflloted with the same infirmity
in I860. Having at last secure 1 a nomination

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Another Gdn. New Mexico held her terri
torial election on Tuesday, and did nobly. The
response which she made to the voice of Ver
mont is of the most cheering and satisfactory
tenor. Last year, Charles P. Clever was
elected delegate to Congress over Chavez, the
Republican candidate, by a majority of 97.
In 1865, the Republicans had a majority of
2331, while in 1863 the Demoorats carried
the Territory by a majority of 1106.'
Now, New Mexico repudiates in toto her
"reaction," and eleots a territorial Legis
lature two-thirda of the members of whioh
are out-and-out radicals. New Mexioo
being still in leading strings has no voioe in
the Presidential contest, but the result of her
appeal to the people shows how thoroughly
they are in aooordanoe with the spirit of the
great Republican party. By-and-by another
worthy member will be added to the sister
hood of States. She will prove, in both houses
of Congress and in the Electoral College, a
fitting offset to rampant little Delaware.
What it Means to Farmers. The Demo
cratic party declares, in so many words, that
it is in favor of "equal taxation on all species
of property." This is comprehensive, and
means exactly what it says. Then, among the
various "species of property," we find not
only bonds of the United States, stocks of rich
corporations, and many other active forms of
capital, but also land. The Demooraoy favor
an equal taxation of laud, of farms, of farm
produce, with that on stocks and commissions.
The result will be disastrous to all our ooun
try Industries. To levy a tax of five per oent.
on investments in farm lands, as it is on other
"specieB of property," means injustioe and
ruin to the farmers. Let them think of this
before they vote. It may be, and probably
will be, to them a matter of peouniary inte
rest. The Republican party favor the laying
of the burdens of taxation on the form of
capital which Is most active in produolng.
Are our farmers prepared to pay the same
taxes as our banks in proportion to the value
of their possessions f
