Jpdoe Lewis Dent bus evidently ruruie np his wind that if the "crown' of MiHsisHippi (for he calls offices ''crowns") is to slip through Lis fingers, ho will at least have satisfaction out of Secretary Boutwell. It would scaroely tlo at this juncture to demand redress in the good old fire-eating style, by ordering coffee and pistols for two, and the best remedy loft is to attack the guardian of the public funds in the newspapers. So far as the matters in controversy be tween the high contending parties are con cerned, we are inclined to suspect that there is some truth in the charges which euoh makes against the other, and that Dent is about as near right in alleging that lioutwcll cherishes Presidential aspirations, as Bout well in turn is in attributing to Dent the de sign of dividing and eventually destroying the Republican parly of Mississippi. It is therefore a very "pretty quarrel as it stands," and if the Secretary can be induced to follow it up it will afford no little amusement to the public. In Virginia and Tennessee Mr. Uoiitwell's efforts to keep the Republican party in good working order have resulted in over.vhelinin conservative victories, but as ho has taken time by the firelock in his Mississippi experi ment, that may prove more successful. Judge Dent alleges that the interest displayed by the Secretary in these campaigns, in connection with the use of the national patronage to pro mote his views, is not merely a perversion of power, but a purely selfish intrigue to under mine General Grant's prospects for a renonii nation and re-election. Indeed, the more direct charge is made that by ''dexterous management and occult political strategy" "Boutwell has induced Grant to "nourish the club" with which he (Boutwell) "intends to treak his (Grant's) head!" so that the busi ness is decidedly serious. The general tendency of the so-called "con servative" movements in the South is no doubt Democratic, and they have at least afforded great facilities for dividing the negro vote. It is barely possible that some of the conservatives, men like Governor Walker, of Virginia, for instance, may be disposed to yield a faithful support to the President: but certainly their organizations cannot be con sidered as reliably Republican. And Judge Dent, in calling the Mississippi faction, of which he is tha ostensible lender, a "Nation il liepublican party," can scarcely be ignorant of the fact that the main body of its supporters Late nothing worse than genuine Republican principles. He cannot deceive the public on this point, no matter how much he may rail against the Secretary. His diatribes are only interesting and important in consequence of Lis elucidation of the mysteries of the next Presidential campaign. Ho has resolved th vt if he must howl as a baflled aspirant for thu Governorship of Mississippi, the world shall know his opinion of the plans adopted by Boutwell to win the first prize in American politics. He gives direct expression to the rumors which have hitherto been circulated only to be denied that tho Secretary "aims to be the next President." He alleges that the Kew York Sun is Boutwells organ, and that, in the same breath it ridicules tho capacity of his "master," and praises his administrative capacity; that Tullock, who is called an "ex cellent tool," manipulated the Treasury De partment in the interest of Bout well's ambi tion; and that the Secretary has assumed power as an "infallible Pope of Republican ism," for the purpose of destroying the Na tional Republican party in the South, with the intention of reconstructing "from the shat tered fragments a Boutwell party." If Dent is to go down as a gubernatorial candidate, he is determined to sink with his flag flying and his guns shotted. It is early in the day to devise plots for the succession; but such things have been done before and may be done again, and although the public will receive with much caution the alloga tions against Boutwell, who can say that there is not at least a grain of truth in thorn ? EDUCATION FOR BUSINESS. Parents whose sons are not to study profos 6ions are often puzzled to determine exactly what course of school or college instruction will best prepare their boys for life. Rocog nizing the value of an educated mind in any occupation, they are unwilling to send their sons into the world with half -formed judg ments and but little or no knowledge of their own language and its literature. Perhaps 6uch a lack of early mental training has pre vented their own success, or, if they have succeeded, still leads them to say, with a pro minent merchant of our city, "Had I only en joyed such a training as 1 now give my son, Low much greater might my usefulness have been!" And yot thpv both hear it boldly as serted, and (as they suppose) often see exemplified, that the old classical training of nnr colleces not only does not fit, but i " positively unfits, young men for practical life Of the several plans suggested as furnisLin the required education, no one has proved entirely satisfactory. Some parents, con niderincr the colleL'o "cvat" altogether "too loner." adopt the verv "short" ono of a little commercial arithmetic and some business do tails, hoping that those will make an able merchant; but they usually see . in despair, when it ih too late, that their sons can never rise above the rank of clerk. A few whose vealth enables them to employ private tutors, supplement ho inbtructiou of tho school with a course at homo, and ofton, it is true, find fbe'r money well spont, when they boo not only the prosperity, but the intelligence and hiKh-toned lives, also, of which this expendi ture has been largely the cause. But for the many this plan is far too expensive, and there fore impracticable. The question still ro mains unanswered. The validity of this position against tho old collegiate education is by no means univer sally acknowledged. . Many educated men, as well in business as in tho professions, con tend that both time and money aro well ex pended for a regular college course Groek, Latin, and mathematics; that if a young man does enter the store or bank at eighteen or twenty, and though neither Euripides, Ho race, nor tho Calculus helps him in planning ventures or in keeping a lodger, yet tho well balanced judgment which he brings with him, as capital, more than represents all that it cost. This opinion, however, it is not our purpose to discuss. "We wish to present to those parents who are unwilling to givo their boys classical educations other possibilities which they may have overlooked. It is never denied, we suppose, that every system of education must fulfil two condi tions: (1) That it strengthen, by develop ing, tho mind, and (2) that it liberally sup ply valuable information. A boy who aim to be an eminent merchant, therefore, no more than one who is to study medicino, may fail, without loss, to acquire by a course of study such intellectual power and genera' knowlodgo as will make him both tho more able to solve the problems of his occupation, and tho more agreeable, intelligent, and worthy of influential social position. Other wise, though he be a member of a firm, he i t below his proper station. His ability is of an inferior grade, and his success is apt to be as his ability. The examples of successful un educated men, few as compared with the whole number of men in business, can gene rally bo accounted for opon tho ground of genius, solf-education, or efficient help from educated employes or partners. An educa tion for business, then, should fulfil both tho conditions named above, though, perhaps, it should comply with the second in a greater degree than tho first. To furnish the course of study apparently required for this purpose, several colleges and among them our own University of Penn sylvania have so arranged their curriculuuis that, while the classical or the scientific course may still be pursued by those who wish it, two other courses, the elective and the par tial, are open to other students. In the former, a conspicuous place is assigned to tho modern languages and their literature, espe cially English, French, and German, while enough of abstract study remains to insure mental development. As set forth in the last catalogue of the University, this course is un usually attractive; and, as at Harvard, is re warded at its completion with the degree of A. B. The partial course is selective, the stu dent pursuing any selected course sanctioned by the Faculty of Arts. No degroe is given, and therefore the time occupied by it may be considerably shortened for students whose age renders it advisable. During the last year fonr students pursued stndios belonging re gularly to tho two first years, and a similar plan might be pursued, we suppose, for the last two, if the case were urgent. Such a "half loaf" is surely better than "no broad." Business men, whoso sons are to succeed n their firms, and who desiro to avoid tho Scylla of what they term the " dead culture," find in these suggestions a plan by which to escnpe the Charybdis of no culture at all. Many young men to-day read nothing but the newspapers, because they lack the intelli gence which makes standard works interest ing. Hence their dissipated lives: they have nothing else to do, after leaving tho store. If the boys who in the next generation are to conduct the great material interests of our country aro to bo at all equal to the possibili ties of tho coming age, their intellectual training must compare, more neorly than at present, with that of our prospective lawyers, physicians, and theologians. THE LABOR CONGRESS. Yesterday the Labor Congress labored through an immense quantity of words, but without any results that are likely to have any appreciable effect in revolutionism, society. The resolutions and speeches, which fill whole columns of the papers, when boiled down to their essence appear to be nothing more man tne querulous complaints ot men who have worried themselves sick over tho problem of "Have and oh had I!" There was a groat deal of talk about tho unequal distribution of wealth, the oppression of labor by capital, and the inadequate emolu ments of tho working man, all of which, in substance, amounts to a working man saying: "I have but a dollar that I earn by obey ing the Divine decree to earn my bread by the sweat of my brow, while there is a bloated banker or bondholder who has a hun dred dollars that he did not labor for. He has, therefore, violated the Divine mandate, ho is no better than I am, part of his wealth is mine by a natural right, and therefore matters ought to be fixed up in such a man ner that ho will be compelled to divido his ill-gotten gains with me." How to make these ill-conditioned holders of capital dU gorge is the interesting problem in political economy that the Labor Congress is appa rently attempting to solve. One of tho reso lutions which was ottered yesterday invited tho co-operatio n of "all who opon np and cultivate farms, build cities, construct rail roads, erect factories, toil in workshop . i l i it i lencu scuoois, ianor in meir pro fessions of law and medicine, and divinity or preaching of tho Gospel as also those 'who by intellectual labor extract the principles of science from from the great arcana of nature and givo thorn practical forms of art and direct the hand of industry.' This seems to bo tolerably comprehensive bankers, brokers, and editors being appa rently tho only ones excluded from participa tion in tho movement for tho advancement of the dignity of labor. It is significant, how ever, that ono delegate was greeted with hisses when he said, "But supposa I did not do a hand-stir, but abor mentally. It is a great deal harder on the constitution. I can not understand this sort of thing of working meaning one kind of la'ior. I hold that a man if ho labors at anything is a working man." This stray gleam of common sense amid such a mass of pure bathos was refreshing, but it was evidently not in accordance with the leading ideas of tho Conrjss, and disapprobation was therefore expressed in a marked manner. And yet it is evident that the ability to do a littlo mental labor is just what the majority of tho delegates to this convention, and tho labor ogitators generally, most stand in need of. Tho main idea in all tho discussions on this subject appears to bo, that tho "ancient rule of thumb" is alone entitled to be called labor, and that tho man who digs and delves, and never tries by his own efforts to do anything better, is tho only workman, and that a man who can earn more money by using his head instead of his hands is an oppressor, an aris tocrat, and a bloated bondholder. A very largo majority of the wealthiest men in this country commenced life as manual laborers of the lowest class; they worked hard, how ever; they saved wherever there was a chance to save, ond they availed themselves of every opportunity to push ahead in tho world. They were not sotisfied with their condtiion in life, but they did not whine about it, and attend conventions and offer resolutions, but set themselves seriously to the business of making money. They did not limit them selves to eight hours, but labored day and night, and undiscouragod by defeat they made their own opportunities, and without waiting for something to turn up, they con quered the situation by their brains no loss than by their hands. The course of tho re doubtable Brick Ponioroy is an example to tho complaining workingmon of this country. However little ho is to be admired in other respects, he is entitled to commendation for tho way in which he won his way to fortune. His biography, published some time ago, told how, after his egular work was done, ho sat up the best part of the night to learn tho niceties of job typo setting, m writing, in studying books, and in fitting himself by every possible means to rise above tho position of a mere laborer. Ho established paper after paper, which failed or passed out of his hands, leaving him as poor as before, until at last he made a hit, and acquired a fortune which doubtless many of the delegates to the Laboi- Convention would like him to divide with them. The fact is tho American workingnien as a class have nothing whatever to complain of. Our social and political system does not admit of great fortunes and great landed possessions being transmitted unbroken in certain fami lies. The accumulations of tho millionaire of to-day will, in a few generations at least, bo divided up into a number of fragments, and its benefits enjoyed by a great number of per sons. Wages, too, are higher hero than any where in the world; and if the average work ingman cannot support himself comfortably on what ho earns, it is either because ho idles away a portion of his time or because he does not practise a reasonable economy. Even for those who complain that the various trades aro crowded, and that it is hard for a man to make a living at them, there is no proper cause for complaint when immense tracts of fertile country, capable of supporting mil lions of people for centuries to come, are standing in our "Western States and Territo ries waiting for settlers to come and put them under cultivation. Nothing has boon yet said at this convention to indicate that the workingnien there represented have anything but a sentimental grievance to complain of, and they will scarcely gain anything but ridi cule, even from their own associates, unless their sayings and doings display a littlo more practical wisdom than tney have done as yot THE TERRIBLE SUSAN. Miss Susan B. Anthony has proved herself entirely too much for the Labor Convention She has conquered the masculines, and suffi ciently demonstrated the superiority of her sex, in powers of persuasion at least, to satisfy tlie most incredulous. The convention do clined to admit the champion of woman's rights because they wore evidently afraid of ner; hut as an outsider she seemed more likely to be an object of terror than as a dele gate. Consequently the convention yesterday reconsidered tneir action of the day before and finally concluded to admit her to their deliberations, evidently also because they were afraid of her. This speaks well for Miss Anthony's intellectual supremacy, and it is more creditable to the gallantry than the pluck of the convention. The caso of this lady has already ocoupiod the convention obout naif tno time it has been in session. If she speechifies at her usual rate, now that sho has obtained tho right to do so, tho discus sion of tho capital and labor question is likely to suffer. There is this much to be said for M iss Anthony, however her ideas are not commonplace, whatever else we may think of them, and sho is likely therefore to illuminate tho sessions of tho convention with so flashes of thought that, whether pertinent to tho subject under discussion or not, will have the tilect of making lively times, esneciallv among those working-men who fear that the imiouticuon oi lemulo labor will ttiko thj bread out of their mouths. NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. A m h'atch received yesterday from Helena, Montana, from the exploring party which has recently been engaged in examining tho route of the Northern Pacilio Railroad, brings tho welcome intelligence that the character of tho road traversed far exceeds their anticipa tions, not only in the mildness of the climate and fertility of the soil, but in tho favorable nature of tho grades. Tho Rocky Mountain was crossed ot a pass where tho elevation did not excood five thousand feet. The practica bility of tho projocted new enterprise is now fully demonstrated. A CHOICE OF TWO EVILS. "Monn than two-thirds of the members of Assem bly at A llmnr lost winter hart the reputation of sell ing thi lr vob?s to the highest bidder. Home mem bers elected by Democratic votes, therefore, be longed to the venal crew. If money is to control the next legislature, we should prefer the Republi can party to have a clear majority and the disgrace of It. The Democratic party has for II task to com pletely redeem the State and the nation from Repub lican corruption, extravagance, and misriuc. no thing Is gained by the country, and much Is lost by the Democratic party, If its representatives, or any coiiPKieraDie nunioer oi mem, can oe junuj ,.r piuu Blbly charged with like corruption." AT. 1'. World. This is the true theory. Tho talk of tho World about the "corruption, extravaganco, ond misrule" of the Republican party as a whole is, of course, mere twaddle such as it is compelled to indulge in, day after day, in order to retain the confidence of its readers; but aside from that, tho paragraph we have quoted is ono that deserves tho careful atten tion of all true Republicans, and especially of all the Republicans of this city. If "corrup tion, extravagance, and misrule" aro to bo tho characteristic features of any legislative body, the political party whose adherents are in tho majority in that body will bo the greatest suf ferer in consequence. It would be infinitely preferable to have tho Legislature at Harris burg unanimously Democratic, if mere per sonal profit and reckless plundering are to bo the only objects kept in view by tho members. Tho last Legislature of this State was about as corrupt as a Legislature could be, and tho only hope of a change for the better lies in an entire change in its composition. Six of the old members from this city Messrs. Stokes, Davis, Bunn, Adaire, Cloud, ond Ilona have contrived so to mani pulate tho delegate elections as to se cure so-called renominations. But tho people have not yet forgotten, and we trust will remember until October, the fact that the whole half dozen were nothing more nor less than fair and overogo specimens of the class of men whose shameless and reck less course brought so much disrepute upon tho State last winter. If the six seats which these men filled so discreditably last winter are to be filled next winter by men of the same stripe, it will bo much better for the State of Pennsylvania and for the Republican party to have six Democrats in their places. If we cannot send to the Legislature decent and honest Republicans from these districts, let them go over to the enemy. The -can not possibly be made any wor .;u,i it is barely possible that decent and honest men disguised as Democrats may be elected in some or all of the districts in question. Behind the Times. The New York Times, in serving up a small conflagration on Staten Island, goes into the particulars of the losses and insurances with such excessive minute ness that mere fifty dollar items are not suf fered to go without mention. How the Tinea and all the rest of the New York journals would rejoice at an opportunity to detail a three million dollar whisky fire. But there are some things in which Philadelphia can and does leave the "the metropolis" in tho back ground. Edicationai.. The fall terra of the University of Pennsylvania will open on Wednesday, September 1(5. with very fair prospects for tlio coming Acade mic ycur. Last year there were H9 students la at tendance upon the Department of Arts, but the large number of Freshmen already admitted indicates that the aggregate will be swelled to about 173 for the com ing year. The lectures In the Medical Department will begin on Monday, October 11, and those in the Law Department on Friday, October 1. The ques tion of a removal of the university to a more elegible and commodious site than that now occupied by it, although in abeyance, nan not been altogether dropped. As soon as Councils resume their sessions, the subject of disposing of u portion of the super fluous Almshouse property will again be brjught up, and we trust that the proposed measure will at au early day receive the sanction of both these bodies. The University of Pennsylvania will then be on the high road to a degree of prosperity which it has never attained in the past. The fall term of Dickinson College, located at Car lisle, in this State, will open on Thursday, Septem ber 2, with flattering prospects for the coming year. Thomas Reaver, Esq., of Danville, Pa., who had already given $25,000 to Lafayette College, at Eas ton, has just donated a like amount to Dickinson, the Income from which will be devoted to tne sup port of a chair of Biblical Literature, to be known as the "Peter Reaver Professorship.-' The large cen tenary collections, in addition to the value of the old college property, make the endowment of Dickinson about a quarter of a million of dollars, the proceeds from which aro suf ficient to place it in a very satisfactory condition. The old buildings are being thoroughly renovated and repaired, and undor tho administration of the Rev. Dr. Dashiell, the new President, all the dif ferent departments show signs of Increasing pros perity. The Institution has a very eligible location, a full and able corps of professors, and dates back to the year 1783 as the commencement of her career of usefulness. The list of the alumni numbers over a thousand, and among the names of her sons we liud many which have figured prominently In the hiHtoryof the country, including those of the late t hief Justice Taney, the late President Uuclianuti, and the present Postmaster-General, lion.
