The Burfaco view of politics in some of the Southern StatcH, and especially in Virginia, Tennessee, and Mississippi, would indicate that a golden age had been reached, and that men's minds had all been cast in the same mould. As Jefferson said of the political situ ation half a century ago, " We are all Fede ralistswo are all Republicans," so each of the contending parties in the States named have been claiming that they are devoted friends of the administration and zealous sup porters of Republican principles. The lions and the lambs have laid down together, ritch-tar-and-turpentine Tarson Brownlow stands on tho same platform as the irrepres sible Andy Johnson. Hunnicutt 3onsorts with tho fiercest of fire-eaters, nnd even Wise does not disdain companionship with negro voters, provided they support conservative candidates. It would be really charming if this appa rent millennium had been produced by a genuine change of heart and opinions; but such news is too good to be true. An old maxim teaches us to distrust the Greeks when they bring ua gifts; and while we expect the voters who were lately in rebellion, and those who last year supported Seymour and Blair, to 'accept tho situation," we are not prepared to place implicit reliance upon professions of friendship which are belied not only by old records but by present intrigues. Victories against the organizations to which tho bulk of tho Republicans were attached have already been won in Virginia and Ten nessee, and though a nominal Republican has been elected Governor in each instance, the Democrats have taken good care to secure a large majority in the Legislature. There was originally a color of truth in the claim of Walker and Senter that they were the best representatives of the views of the adminis tration, for they advocated the removal of political disabilities, a policy which Grant also favors; while many of the friends of Wells and Stokes desired tho continuation of restrictions upon Rebel suffrage. But upon this point no further struggle is to be main tained, and the only practical question con nected with it is whether the doctrine of uni versal suffrage and universal amnesty is to be fairly carried out, for the common benefit of all classes, or to furnish the Rebels with a stepping-stone to future domination. The forces of the contending parties are now being marshalled in Mississippi for another contest in that State. The most desperate efforts have been made to surround the issues with doubt and uncertainty, and to divide the negro vote. Some of the newly appointed Government officials have exerted an influence in favor of the so-called National Republican party, and its originators have claimed that its triumph was desired by the President, citing as proof of this allegation that one of his relatives, Judge Dent, was its prospective candidate for Governor. So thoroughly have the Democracy of the State in which Jeff. Davis formerly held imperious sway lowered their banner, that even the name of their old organization is not men tioned. But by a striking coincidence all its active partisans are very zealous friends of the Dent movement, and very earnest in their efforts to detach the freedmcn from the regu lar Republican organization. Both parties have been seeking aid and comfort from the national administration, and so many conflicting rumors have been circulated in regard to its real attitude, that tho President has at last spoken in emphatic and unmistakable terms. Hitherto he has preferred that "acts and results should speak for his administration rather than words" a good maxim, and one that he may profitably adhere to on all proper occasions; but inas much as the votes of thousands of the citizens of Mississippi may depend upon an accurate knowledge of his position, and as the politics of other States maybe sensibly affected by it, we are glad that he has spoken so freely. General Grant desires tho maintenance of the unity of the Republican party, and depre cates the dissensions which have been fo mented in the South for the purpose of di viding it into feeble factions. He penetrates the designs of the conservatives, and while making all duo allowance for the peculiar cir cumstances which prevailed in Virginia, he regrets that the friends of Governor Walker rejected tho proffer of conciliation tendered by tho chairman of tho Wells Committee, and he evidently desires that wherever the Re publican ranks are broken they may be closed up, and that its organization may be pre served intact. Hereafter there will be no ground for doubt in tho Southern contests, nnd any future vic tories which may bo won must bo ob tained under a full knowlege of the fact that the administration sympathizes with the party which is in closest accord with tho National Republican organization. Future difficulties in the South can arise only from tho inordi nate and selfish ambition of the Republican politicians of tliiit region. The freedmen rarely or never go astray in a well-defined contest, and their instinct seems a better guide than the boasted wisdom of their leaders. The administration is true to the party that placed it in power, und the whole responsibility for tho future political condi tion of the Southern States now rests with the ambitious Republican aspirants who have nlreudy done too much mischief by their petty iivnU'i'.'j; flU'.l uncompromising pcvsyual naneljJ. THE DA1LT EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TIIURSDA.Y, I 'NIFORM MARRIA OEAND DI 'ORCE LA WS. The British Government is about to bring about another great reform by amending the present illiberal and unsatisfactory marriage laws, and by making them uniform through out the entire United Kingdom. At present the English, Scotch, and Irish laws on tho subject are all different, and the discrepan cies which exist are not only unjust in them selves, but they afford a convenient opportu nity for such scamps as Major Yelverton to be married or unmarried, as may suit their convenience. In England and Iroland tho marriage ceremony is impeded by legal re quirements that are so absurd that it would scarcely seem possible that an enlightened people would submit to thorn in this age, and they are particularly onerous to the Roman Catholics and the dissenters, for whose annoyance they appear to be particu larly devised. In Scotland, on the contrary, the marriage laws aro as loose as they are stringent in the other portions of the Queen's dominions, and this mixed state of affairs has at length become such a serious cause for complaint that the present Liberal Ministry has promised to take the subject in hand and regulate it on liberal and unsectarian princi ples. We may therefore expect to see the matter taken up at the next session of Par liament, and the required reform will proba bly be brought about without serious oppo tion. In tho mean time, our own marriage and divorce laws are far from being satisfactory, and it would be well if tho attention of our statesmen could be turned to them, with a view of producing a little order and system out of the existing chaos. By the Constitu tion of the United States, the regulation of marriages and divorces is left with the seve ral States; but it is a question whether it would not be better in every way if the mat ter was placed in the hands of the General Government. The Constitution, as it was originally shaped, was an experiment, and it was impossible for its framers to provide for all future contingencies. Amendments have been made, therefore, from time to time to suit the various changes in the condition of the country and the people, and there are still others that experience dictates that might be made with advantage. In most of the States the marriage laws aro sufficiently liberal, and in many almost too much so. It is perfectly proper that the marriage ceremony or contract should be im peded as little as possible, but sufficient safe guards should be thrown around it to protect both parties in their rights and to give a reasonable guarantee against fraud. In some of the States these provisions are curious, and even smack of a sort of semi-barbarism; as in Delaware, for instance, every young man who enters into matrimonial bonds is required to give bonds in the sum of $:5(M that his wife shall not become a burden on tho public. But then Delaware still hugs the whipping post to her bosom, and she is consequently hardly to be considered as an example of the common practice throughout the Union. While there should ke a reasonable libe rality in the laws regulating the marriage ceremony, those in relation to divorces should be proportionately stringent. The doctrines of some modern philosophers, and particularly of soino of the prominent woman 's-rights advocates, on this subject have done incalculable injury to society. Abstractly, it may appear better that an ill-assorted couple should separate, but for the good of society it is better that a few persons should be bound in uncongenial union than that tho sanctity of the marriage relation, upon which the whole framework of our modern social organization depends, should be dis regarded. The facility with which the marriage bonds can be dissolved in Illinois is a great scandal on that State, and it has already produced incalculable misery. I he ill efteetsof the divorce laws of that State show the importance of having uniform regulations on the subject, and as the matter is one that affects not the welfare and happi ness of the citizens of Illinois alone, it ought to b e in the hands of the central government. A resident of Illinois to-day may, a week hence, take up h'S abode in Pennsylvania, and if he has procured a divorce there, no matter how unjustly, our courts are obliged to concur in spite of our own laws on the subject. Now, this is a great wrong that calls for a remedy, and the remedy con sists in having a uniform code of marriage and divorce laws for the United States. Tho evil complained of has not yet become so great ns to excite general public interest, but it is increasing every day, and it is well to take it in hand before its demoralizing influ ences extend further than they have. The subject is one that calls for tho thoughtful nnd earnest consideration of our statesmen, clergy, nnd nil who are interested in the welfare of society and our national prosperity. Those who would make marriage nothing more than a licensed concubinage, existing only during the pleasure of the par ties to the union, strike a blow at social order, decency, religion, and national pros perity, the evil effects of which cannot rightly be estimated. This is a subject that good men of all parties and nil religious creeds can unite upon heartily, and if it is properly ad vocated the remiived reform ,,, t i. brought about without serious difficulty. I he Mobile Riot.-"Soiho eighteen white and colored witnesses of unimpoached in tegrity have sworn that one David P.

If Pavi.l R0id ilia not fire the tlrfct bliot, wlio did ? The Ohio Democracy were placed in a very tight place by the family and creditors of General Rosocrans whose claims upon the latter prevented him from accepting the gubernatorial nomination. Ignoring all the prominent candidates before the convention over whom Rosecrans was nominated, the State Central Committee have appealed to George II. Pendleton, and that shining light of modern Democracy has listened to the appeal and consented to take the place upon the ticket which Rosecrans has vacated. The selection of such a man as Pendleton for a candidate is an open confession of weakness, a shadow of coming defeat. Pendleton's real aspirations are towards the Presidency, for which position he barely missed a nomination by the Tammany Convention of last year. His defeat at that time did not, of courso, en tirely suppress Lie aspirations, and he now enters upon the contest in Ohio merely to enable tho party to make the best possible show, without any expectation of being elected. The Case or HAOGERTX.A-dcspiitoU. from Washington states that the Governnieut Vili. take no "present action in the case of iTag- gerty, who was appointed consul to Glasgow's! but to whom the British authorities refused to grant an exequatur, on the ground that he was actively associated with the Fenian movements in this country. It is difficult to see what action tho Government can take in this matter. Haggerty shftuld never, in tho first place, have been appointed consul to Glasgow or to any other place under the sovereignty of Great Britain, and tho refusal of the English government to permit him to enter upon the functions of his office was the least that ' could have been expected. If Laird, tho Confederate raiA-builder, should be designated as British consul at Philadel phia, our own Gpyernment would act just as that of Great Britain has done, and with per fect justice. If Haggerty were the only man in the United States fit and willing to be consul at Glasgow, there might bo some hard ship in the case. 111K SCHOOL OF BESrON FOR WOMEX. This institution will commence its regular academic session on the 13th of September, with increased fa cilities, which will materially add to its efficiency and give its conductors a better opportunity than heretofore to carry out their plans. An extension of fifty-eight feet, running buck to Fifteenth street, has been put up in the rear of the present building on West Penn Square, which will permit a better dis play of the valuable collection of antique casts anil other objects, and will afford additional class-rooms. This improvement will be a great bencilt to the school, although it will not give all the room that is desired ; but it is an advance, and the managers pre fer to enlarge their field of operations according to their means rather than to attempt at one time more than they are certain can be accomplished. We have on several occasions alluded in com mendatory terms to the School of Design for Wo men, and we again desire to call the attention of our readers to it, because we believe that it Is conducted on essentially the right principle as a school of art, and on that account, as well as a number of others, it Is eminently worthy of the confidence and hearty support of the public. This school is, we believe, the first attempt in this country to teach art as a science, to teach it according to a system, which will give the student a firm foundation of practical knowledge to work upon. Although the efforts of the School of Design have been mainly directed to the education of industrial artists, with the excellent object in view of giving young women a respectable and desirable profession by which they can earn a living, the system adopted is the correct one for any school of art, whatever Its ultimate objects may be. Professor Braidwood, the principal, is a thoroughly-trained designer, and an enthusiast in his profession. He believes that drawing can be taught to any person of average Intelligence the same as reading and writing, and that art education means substantially the same kind of training that is given in our schools and colleges. Drawing, as it is generally taught, is, in a vast majority of cases, a mere wate of time, with no results of importance: the pupils are anxious to make pictures, and they are allowed to do so before they understand the first elements of drawing. The system of the School of Design is intended to be thorough from the beginning, a discipline to mind, hand, and eye ; and tho dullest scholar, if she will pay attention, cannot fail to learn something. Professor Braid wood puts all ideas of genius and inspiration us artistic qualities to one side, and substitutes industry instead. Alter his pupils have mastered the princi ples of their art, they can then avail themselves of any talents that nature has given them; but it is as absurd to expect a young woman to write a first class work of fiction without having learned to read and write, us it is for her to produce u picture, statue or piece of artistic ornamentation without having been thoroughly drilled in the principles of design. Such a system as this is the more important, as the scientific basis of art has never been thoroughly recognized in this country, and to this fact may bo attributed the great amount of inferior work that Is turned out every year by our artists and designers. The School of Design for Women is not all that It should be, or all that its managers desire to make it. It lias been up-hill work to establish it at all; ami, with excellent judgment, it has been thought better to do a little at a time thoroughly than to run any risks of ultimate failure. The true value of the school, however, has been fully demonstrated by ex perience ; and the number of young women who are engaged In profitable employments through its influ ence testifies to the practical utility of its system of instruction. If we expect to enter into any compe tition with Europe in the productions of industrial art, it Is to such Institutions as this that we must look ; and it is to be hoped that ere long there will be hundreds of them in all parts of the country. Professor Braidwood expects to add to his corps of assistants two ladles who have for some time been connected with some of the principal art schools in England, and who have been highly recommended as being thoroughly qualified and well posted In all tho latest improvements introduced on the other side of the Atlantic. Other improvements will be made, und the School of Design will open this year under more favorable auspices than ever. The following gentlemen constitute the Hoard of Directors: William J. llorstmunn, President; James II. Orne, Secretary; P. P. Morris, Secretary; James L. Clughorn, Treasurer; W. P. WilHtach, Cieorge Whitney, David s. Drown, K. W. Clark, Jay Cooke, John Sartain, Redwoed V. Warner, and Edward S. Clarke. It is proper to state that much of the effi ciency and prosperity of tho School of Design has been duo to the exertions of tho President of the Hoard of Directors, Mr. Ilorstmann, who, both by edu cation and long business experience, is fully alive to the Importance of educating competent designers In this country. Mr. Ilorstmann has looked at the matter from a practical, business-like point of view, and ho hus given Professor Braidwood his hearty co operation in building up tho institution. Those of our citizens who are at all interested In art, or in tho important question of women's work ami wages, should visit the School of Design und seo for themselves what It is doing and what Its system of Instruction really is. The subject is ono that tho Intelligent people of this city ought to take a deep interest in, as the influences of such an institution us this conduce tg tUv C( sis!; la luvrc ways tliau ouo, OIIITITAR V. IIn. Jernmlnh Mrholn. Hon. Jeremiah Nichols died at 1 o'clock this morn ing, at Ills cottage-residence on Federal street alK)ve Thirteenth, in the Twenty-sixth ward. He attained the age of forty-six years on the 0th of May Inst. In early life Mr. Nichols was a carpenter by trade, and worked at his business for a number of years. He was always an opponent of Democratic principles, and naturally changed from an Old-line Whig to the Republican party on its first formation. A man of comparatively no culture, he was thoroughly versed In all the crooks and turns of political life. From the outset he has been especially identified with the Cameron faction in this State, and has been considered by Senator Cameron as one of his most valuable adhe rents In this city. Possessed of great energy of character, he always accomplished his purposes, and among local "wire-pullers" the support of Jere miah Nichols was eagerly sought. Ills active work in the Republican tanks was rewarded by successive nominations to the Legislature, and he was elected State Senator from the First district for two terms, extending from i860 to 1S06. This success was ob tained In a district that has always been strongly Democratic, and Illustrates Mr. Nichols' practical efficiency in political Hie. He has been a dologate to various State Republiun conventions for the nomination of State officers, nnd is believed to have liberally contributed of his means to the success of the party. After the close of his political career at Harrls Imrg he established the "Cameron Mills," in the Twenty-sixth ward, and engaged In the manufac ture of cotton goods, under the style of Nichols, Alexander A Co. His social qualities and life secured hlu hosts of friends, and his popularity in his Imme diate neighborhood was Increased by his liberal con tributions to the distressed, especially in the exciting times of the late "drafts." He was a member of the Camenm Club of the Twenty-sixth ward, Maletta Lodge, vA. V. M., the Washington Fire Companv, the Hlbernia Society, and the Union League. His Illness has been a lingering one of some months, and of the nature of consumption. The funeral will take place on Sunday next, from his late residence, ami the esoort will be a large one.
