THE
MISSISSIPPI ELECTION
SOUTHERN POLITICS.
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.

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

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.

FRANKLINITE BANKER'S CHEST,
Pbrkyvillh Station, Pennsylvania RR.,1
Juuo l!i, isoi,
Mebbks. Fahhrl, Herring A Co.,
Ho. 629 Chesuut street, Philadelphia.
Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort wag
made on the night of May 29, lsoo, to drill the
Banker's chebt received from you a few muntti ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it la
evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on
Sunday evening following. FlndlDg all efforts to drill
It useless, the eirort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties in the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with, the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that yonr
Banker's Chests are whufj'ou claim for them, Burglar-Proof.
Respectfully yours,
