HON. ROBERT J. WALKER.
Hon. Rodebt J. Walker, whose doatli in re
corded in another column, and whose public
Caroer is sketched at length elsewhere,
was in some respects the most able man ever
Lorn in Pennsylvania. lie possossod a re
markable degree of the statesmanlike saga-
City which is one of the rarest attributes in
this nation of politicians. At an early period
of his life he departed from the usual line of
emigration by seeking a now homo in Missis
sippi, and speedily established a reputation
there which secured his admission to
the national arena that was best fitted for
the display of his talents. As a young mem
ber of the United States Senate, at a tima
when it was filled with intellectual giants, he
strengthened and confirmed his reputation,
and during the last quarter of a century he
exercised a marked and, in some cases, a
controlling influence upon masy important
national events. In the Democratic National
Convention of 1844 he was the prime mover
in enforcing the two-third rule, which,
by defeating Van Buren's nomination, gave
a new direction to the whole policy of the
country, and as Mr. Polk's Secretary of the
Treasury he was the author of the tariff of
184G, which gave such deep olTonse to his
native State, and laid the foundation of many
important political changes. In a number of
leading Presidential contests pamphlets from
Lis pen obtained a wide circulation, and ex
erted a greater influence than any other docu
ments of contemporaneous issue. He rendered
great aid in this manner to Buchanan in
the memorable contest of 18,)(5, which was
illy requited in turn, by Buchanan's treat
ment of Walker when he was acting as Gov
ernor of Kansas. His careor in that oflioo
and the occurrences connected therewith
gave the culminating interest to the nnti
Lecompton movement, which finally resulted
in the downfall of the old Democratic party
and tho triumph of the Republican organiza
tion. With the latter Robert J. Walker was
never in full sympathy, although he aided the
Cause of the nation during the war. Ho was
devotedly attached to the Democratic party,
but one of his great aims was to purify that
party of Southern sectionalism and of treason,
and he was a deadly antagonist of Jeff. Davis,
whom ho had opposed in Mississippi as well
as on a broader arena. Intellectually, Robert
J. Walker had few equals. As a lawyer, in
great national cases, ho possessed wonderful
astuteness; as a statesman his perceptions
wore remarkably clear; as a politician he en
gineered some of the most difficult and im
portant movements ever made in this coun
try; and as a controversial writer on political
questions he surpassed all his contemporaries.
THE SCHOOLS FOR FREE DM EX.
One of tho most iniquitous features of the
American system of slavery was tho prohibi
tion of education by severe penalties. Soma
of the slaves of ancient nations wove tha most
intelligent and learned men of their day, but
our Southern taskmasters, not satisfied with
enchaining the body, sought to dwarf the
minds of their unhappy victims. It was
deemed a crime to teach a slave the alphabet,
and no bondman could acquiro even the rudi
ments of learning oxcept by stealth or as an
especial and unusual favor. A Maryland
negro, now more than eighty years of age,
who manifests much interest in the freod
men's schools of that State, was recently
asked if he had any learning himself, to which
lie replied, "Only what I got behind de plow
tail stole it like." When ho was asked,
'How was that, uncle ?" he replied, "Why,
when children gwine to school, I goes up to
de fence, get little lesson from dem in
de book give chile hen egg for it, you see."
Thus, while all the civilized world was striv
ing to make education universal, ant whilg
some of tho most despotic countries of Europe
Vero making it compulsory, no pains were
spared to stamp out every spark of intelli
gence among the Southern negroes. It is no
wonder, under these circumstances, that tho
philanthropic spirits of the nation did not
consider the work arising from abolition com
plete without an earnest effort to illuminate
the mass of ignorance which had been thus
artificially and most unjustly created. To
deny to four millions of human beings, in
this age, all opportunities of mental enlight
enment, was a crime only one degree less,
detestable than the perpotuation of slavery
itself, and the duty of undoing this great
wrong was only secondary in importance to
emancipation.
The eighth semi-annual report on schools
for freedmen, giving an account of the ope
rations for the six months ending July 1,
18Ct, has recently been issued by the General
Superintendent, J. W. Alvord, and it fur-
nishes much valuable information illustrative
of tho progress of the groat work which has
been prosecuted iu part by the Government
and in part by benevolent associations. The
field of labor has been so wonderfully exten
sive that many of its subdivisions have never
been reached, but the results, on the whole,
are eminently satisfactory and creditable. In
the wide domain where, ten years ogo, there
was not a single school for tho education of
an enslaved race, thoro is now an aggregate
of day, night, regular, irregular, secular, and
Hunday-schools for the freedmen of no less
than 44''4, supplied with It.'OH teachers and
fttondod by 250,353 pupl s. For the support
TUB DAILY MVBNIXO TKIiKfllUl'Il-imLADBLPKIA. THURSDAY",
of these schools more than one million of
dollars was contributed during a period of
six months, not quite half of this sum being
obtained from the Government, and nearly
one-fifth of it being contributed by tho f reod
men themselves. The schools are now in a
better condition and more largely attendod
than at any former period, tho increase over
the six months previously reported being 4 1 1
in the number of schools, 8"r in tho number
of teachers, and 10,407 in the nnmbor of
pupils. In view of the many difficulties that
bad to be overcome, the neglect of all forma
of popular education in tho South, and the
strong feeling of hostility to the enlighten
ment of the negroes by which a large portion
of the Southern whites are still animated,
the work has been attended with extraordi
nary success, and it well deserves to bo
ranked aenong the greatest triumphs of
modern civilization. We regret that, although
cases of criminal hostility to tho froodmon's
Bchools and teachers are growing loss fre
quent, they still occasionally occur. Not
long sinco a now school-houso was burnt at
Slaughter's Neck, Sussex county, Delaware,
before the plastering was dry, and there was
little doubt that this destruction was the
work of incendiaries, as declarations had
been made that it was "no use to build a
nigger school-house; it shall noU stand; it
shall be burned down." At one place in
Louisiana a faithful colored teacher was killed
a few months since. A teacher in Kentucky
reports that ho was visited one night by tho
Ku-Klux Klon, who threatened to kill him if
he did not instantly give up his school; and
similar occurrences are reported iu various
other quarters. There is, however, in thou
sands of Southern neighborhoods, a marked
improvement in tho tone of popular senti
ment, and in some Slates active opposition to
the education of the freedmen seems to have
entirely ceased.
The continued interest of the negroes is a
constant incentive to renewed exertions, aad
it is frequently displayed in a touching man
ner. One old colored womon in North Caro
lina, who attends night school, and works
very hard that her children may go to school,
feels consoled for her labors and privations
by the family progress in learning, and says:
"I tells you, niassa, we can't feel hungry
when we reads; dats better than vittals,
ninssn." Another old freedwoman in Missis
sippi, a widow with seven children, who is
very poor, says: "I mean to educate my
children, if I havo to work my hands oft".
While the hoccake lasts they go to school."
An old negro in Mississippi says: "If I nob
ber docs nothing more while I live, I, shall
give my children a chance to go to school, for
I considers education next best ling to
liberty," and another negro in tho same
localily declares: "Dere isn't money enough
in all old Massysippi to buy what laming niy
chile got from you all.''
There is good reason to believe that at no
distant period the education of the mass of
the Southern whites, which has hitherto been
fearfully neglected, will bo liberally provided
for, mainly on account of the example set,
and the exertions made, primarily, for tho in
struction of the freedmen. A double good
will thus result from the labors which have
been prosecuted with such praiseworthy zeal,
and (lie removal of tho veil of ignorance
from the Southern mind will prove in the cud
the crowning glory of the great work of re
ccnsUuction. PAT AND IllS VIVE.
The war for tho liberation of Ireland from
British tyranny is about to commence in
earnest. Tho l'enians have talked lop.g
enough, and now they intend to act with de
cision. It is their purpose to subduo the
Britishlion, but first they intend to pull out his
teeth and cut his claws. There are to bo no
nioro insurrections, riots, and invasions; to
produce no better results than sending a few
unhappy patriots to the gallows, but Pat has
now fallen back on strategy, and very Irish
strategy at that. The Fenian Amnesty Com
mittee in London ha issued a general request
to Irishmen to abstain from the use of tobacco
until the imprisoned Fenians are released, tho
object being to reduce the revenue and thus
bring the Government to terms, through fear
of bankruptcy, and at the same time to
accumulate a fund for continuing tho agita
tion. This, it will bo seen, is killiug two
birds with one stone, and really tho scheme
has a most fascinating appearance on paper.
The duties on tobacco furnish England with
a large portion of her roveuue, and it is
scarcely possible to estimato the effect that
will bo produced when millions of Irishmen
knock the ashes out of their dudheens for the
last time, and raisiug the blackened bowls aloft,
swear that not another whiff shall be blown
until Gladstone succumb end strikes the
chains from tho limbs of tho imprisoned he
roes. And then all tho money that would
have been expended in tobacco will of course
go into the Fenian treasury; and as John
Bull's purse grows less, that of Pat will bo
swelled with a plethora of wealth, and he will
be able to meet his aucient adversary on
something more than equal terms. The Bos
ton tea party was no'thing to this, and yet it
secured the independence of America. When
Pat abandons his pipe, Ireland also will be
free perhaps. To make tho thing a cer
tainly, however, all tliit is needed is for
every true-born Irishman to refuse ou any
terms to chink any more whisky until the
green banner with the golden harp of Brian
Boru we believe the harp originally belonged
to this hero waves iu triumph from the top
most tower of Dublin Castle. What a no vol
spoctaclo would bo presented by tho entire
race of Irishmen forswearing tobacoo aud
whisky ! This of itself would be sufficient to
induce Gladstone to conulude that tho time
had arrived for tho adoption of a conciliatory
policy, and tho prison doors would fly opon
without further argument, and the Fenian
captives would fly to tho arms of tho Amnesty
Committee, aud rejoice with them that the
hour of Ireland's deliverance had come at
last. Tat may give up his pipe, but the

THE RESPONSWILITIES OF INSUR
ANCE COMPANIES.
A cask of considerable interest has just boon
decided in tho Now York Superior Court, in
volving the responsibility of insuranco com
panies. An insurance company declined to
poy a policy on the ground that tho porson
insured vitiated it by committing suicido. It
was found, howover, impossible to prove this,
and tho affair was settled by tho company
abandoning its case. This brings us to the
question whothor it is to the advantage of an
insuranco company to dispute a matter
of this kind. The number of mon who
would be likely to kill themselves for the sake
of securing to their families the amount for
which they may be insured, must nocessarily
be so smnll as to bo scarcely appreciable in a
calculation of risks; and, indeed, death by
suicide is so rare that it seems scarcely worth
while to consider it at all. The trouble is
that, with an except ion against death by sui
cide, such as is contained in most life insu
ranoe policies, the door is opened for litiga
tion and troublo, both to insurer and insured,
without corresponding benefit to either.
Would it not be much better and more satis
factory to all parties if the insurance com
panies were to strike an average of all risks,
and so give the insurer and his family to
understand that they, arc secure under every
contingency?
In other branches of the insurance business,
the manner in which policies are usually drawn
is even more unsatisfactory, and the number
of exceptions, generally printed in tho finest'
typo, is so great that many persons really do
not know whether they aro insured or not.
In marine insurance, especially, a wido door is
open to fraud; and the notorious difficulty
that insurers have in getting payment for
damages of limited amount, annually causes
a loss to the insurance compauics f thou
sands of dollars that might bo savod by a
little liberality. Many owners givo tho
captains of their vessels orders not to bring
in bills for damages under certain amounts that
will bo sufficiently large to secure payment. In
all of these cases the most satisfactory mothod
of doing business would certainly bo to esti
mato all the risks, and then strike an average.
Even if tho premium were to bo a little
higher, insurers would rather pay it thau run
the risks they now do of having their property
destroyed, and then to find somo excoplion
in tho policy, that had been overlooked,
brought forward by the insurance eompanios
as an excuse for non-payment. Under the
present way of doing business many insurers
scarcely feci any more secure than if they had
not taken out policies at all, and the disposi
tion manifested by some companies to shirk
their responsibilities, if possible, is not cal
culated to advance tho interests of the busi
ness or to increase the confidence of property
owners.

The peine forte ct dure to which accused persons

from the marked contrast which it presents to our
own plan of procedure. A French paper, describing
tho effect of this process on tho murderer Tropmann,
says: "This Interrogation is the terror of the guilty.
It Is an agony that is dally repeated a moral torture
