1 EPTET A O 1l VOL. XIV NO. 129. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1870. DOUBLE SHEET THREE CENTS. FIRST EDITION Government Reports. The Southern Military Division. The Educational Bureau THE ARMY IN THE SOUTH. Animal Report of Mnler-Oeneral Hallerk, Ctumandcr f the Military Division of the Heath. The annual report of General Ilallcck, as Commander of the Military Division of the fcoutli, will accompany the report of Oeneral Belkt-ap, Secretary of War. The report is dated October 24, and, after giving the limits of the division and the troops therein, states that Georgia on the 4th of January last was remanded to the condition of a military district, and Oene ral Terry was placed in command. As he was specially instructed from the War Department aud by the President, General Hal leck did not deem himself authorized to inter fere with General Terry, and he says his administration of civil affairs has in no way been subject to his directions. lie says, iu regard to Texas, that, with the exception of the Indian troubles, the State has teen remarkably quiet and prosperous. He says the discipline of the troops during the year bas been excellent, and that their supplies were satisfactory except clothing, which is almost universally complained of. On the important question regarding the relation between the civil authorities and the military, General Hal leek sars: It will be seen by the reports of the Depart ment Commanders that but few cases had oc curred where the military have been required to interfere in civil matters, except to assist revenue ollicers in the performance of their duties. I respectfully repeat the recommenda tion of my last annual report that military officers should not interfere in local civil troubles, unless when called out in the manner prescribed by law, and that the requisition of revenue officers should be aceeinpaniod by affi davits, or some other proof that the case comes within the provisions of the law authorizing or requiring military interference. As the prac tice now is, the revenue officer is the sole judge of the necessity of military guards aud escorts. Moreover, a large portion of the cost of revenue seizures is now paid out of the mili tary appropriations, which expense would otherwise be deducted from the property con demned before the products of the sale could be divided between the Treasury and the reve nue officer who made the seizure. Where the United States Marshals and Assistant Marshals call for military aid to execute the process of the courts, there should be an order of the court authorizing such requisitions, on the ground that no proper civil posse comitatus could be obtained. Such restrictions in the use of military force in civil matters would, iu my opinion, not only effect a large saving in military expenditures, but would relieve army officers from much of the responsibility which they are now obliged to incur in the performance of disasreeablo duties which can hardly be said to legitimately belong to the military service. It may be pro per to remark in this place that I have been actured by Federal civil ollicers that the use of troops in executing judicial processes, aad en forcing the revenue and other civil laws, seems to increase rather than diminish the apparent necessity of using such iorce. la civil mat ters the badly-disposed become more and more exasperated at being coerced by a force which they think has Lccn unconstitutionally employed against them, and the better-disposed relax their e it oris to punisn local crimes on uio Pica that this duty now devolves on the mili tary only. Hence, In the case of a robbery or a murder there is a call lor n etterai troops to arrest and guard the crimiuaK It is, there fore, a question well worthy ot consideration whether the military power, in civil matters. should not be limited to a few well-defined cases, such as riots and insurrections, which cannot be suppressed by local aud State autho rities. The report closes as follows: Although no very important military opera tions have transpired la the division during the past year, the industry ana capacity or the De partment Commanders have been severely taxed in executing the laws of Congress and settling apparent conflicts ot autbority between militia aud civil officers. It is very creditable to them to be able to sav that they have performed these embarrassing duties in such a manner as to re ceive the approval of their superiors, and to give general satisfaction to the people of the elates in their respective commands. EDUCATION. Report mt the roiuinUatener of Education .Facta of t.rent Iiupurtuuce Collected far the Fli.t Tiute. lets than tluht months ago the present Com missionercf Kducai ion entered upon the duties of Lis office, then with a working lore of only two clerks, but now naving mree clerks at iu creased salaries. Besides the current work that has been despatched, an annual report ot COO pagi-s, to accompany the JCxecutive documeuic, is now in proof. As a National Executive document it is the first of its kind. No attempt has heretofore been made to put in a re pen a comprehensive survey of the educational condition ot tuu wuole country The review occupies 60 pages, the remainder of the report being ubstracls from all the latest re ports of States, cities, and Territories, and the general progress of education throughout the country. Tbe total income and expenditure for public school purposes for 30 Slates (not Including Alabama. Georgia' Mississippi, Oregon. South Carolina. Tennessee. Texas, and Virciuiai are nearly 61.OCO.0C0. Twenty-two Slates have 5 G'Jo.blo children enrolled in tue m-iijoia, but tbe average attendance is only 3,377, 0iJ. At the same time there is a total average absence In these 22 States from the uifblic schools of the enormous number of 4,813,563 children of school age. This is the great evil that recently eemea so appalling to sir. aiunaena. SCHOOL XFKMUTUHK PER BBA.D OF THK SCHOOL rOPl l.iTION.

The provisions for education in Delaware re main the same as before emanclpatioa. There is no State supervision, no Slate provision for training teachers, no school law adequate for keeping schools open; municipalities may tax themselves for school purposes or not. as they tee fit. The schools generally are of an infe j lor ci, aid, so lar uruil uuuer tue school law of the State, provide only for the education bl U-e tllcs.lt U noticeably tUal the school fund is divided amoDg the three counties, on the basis of the population as it was forty years ago, in 1830. Maryland has a law for the conduct of the white schools, ex cellent in seme of its features. The principal of the normal school Is the nominal, bnt pow erless, bead of the system; the county exami ners perform, in some measure, the work of superintendence. The Baltimore schools have many excellencies, and provide for the educa tion of the colored children; but in the country ed children; but In the country r&df, ."Jeeax.- nriiralA an(anria Ifanrnnlrw districts of the ceptine tbe whites provided for by private enterprise. Kentucky provides supervision, but the Legislature last winter, in endeavoring to curb the energetic efforts of the Superintendent, reduced his salary, and. instead of adopting the efficient mea sures for white schools which be had recommended, enacted a law very much in accordance with the provisions of the statutes before tbe emancipation of slaves. SVest Virginia, after having struggled, so far successfully, in tbe establishment of a free school system, seems now to be contemplating its destruction. Virginia is just puttiug a free school system into operation, but encounters great difficulties in the lack of means, the want of correct information, and the lack of school bouses and qualified school officers and teachers. North Carolina bas been struggling for about two years to pnt a system of free schools into operation: the obstacles encountered have per mitted only partial success, more having been accomplished by the instrumentality of the Freedmen's Bureau and the aid of the Peabody fund, and other charities, it is believed, than by tbe expenditures of the State. The friends of education rather fear defeat than hope success. In Tennetsee the school system was put into operation and nearly 200,000 children enrolled, but reactionary sentiments, save in tne cities ot Nashville and Memphis, bid fair to restore tbe Eauper schools of the days of slavery. Missouri as a free school system fairly established. Arkansas has secured a greater success than a majority of the Southern States. South Caro lina, among the States having the largest per centage of Illiteracy, is confident of final success in establishing free common schools. Florida has hesitated in giving the greatest efficiency to the system sought to be established. Alabama now debates the question of advancing or retreating. Mississippi is making efficient progress in the establishment of a system of free schools. The Echool code ot Louisiana has encountered an opposition so persistent and fierce that its suc cess, outside of the city of New Orleans, has been most unsatisfactory to its friends. Georgia has just passed a school law and appointed a State Commissioner, but must wait a year for funds with which to put the system into full operation. In Texas no school legislation has so far succeeded, and no public officers are at work for the organization of schools. In the District of Columbia the white public schools of Washington can aacomrnodate about one-third of the white school population, and the colored public school about one half of the colored school population. Whatever has been the sentiment of the people of the District in tbe past, it is manifestly growing rapidly in favor of free public schools, elsewhere so suc cessful. EDUCATION AMONG TUB INDIANS. Over the vast territorial domain of 1,619,353 square miles, already supposed to be occupied by a population of 493.310 whites and 318,013 Indians, the National Government lias, in edu cation as in other matters, exclusive responsl- i y. - A statement, revised in tne inaian uureau, is to the effect that the first Indian appropriations for educational purposes were made in lsuu, Since that time $8,000,000 have been expended for this object, and at least $500,000,000 for Indian wars. Of the appropriations now made for the relief and civilization of the Indians, about one dollar in ten is for the purpose of education. A most liberal estimate indicates only one child in ten or eleven receiving even the simplest rudiments of an education. The retroeradation ot the rueoio ana otner Indians as respects intelligence, since their territory has been udded to ine united estates, is too suock- lne to American ideas to be longer tolerated. ihe But erintendent 01 ruunc cnoois in ine Cherokee Nation, for the year ending July 15, lb70. reports 45 schools for Cherokee children, 3 for colored children; with males and Uji females; total, 1923 enrolled; and an average at tendance of 1124. No Information so recent has been received from tho other civilized nations All have, however, their school system, officers, teachers, and schools, and give a most abun dant proof of what can bo accomplished under thoroughly excellent educational management. Exact accuracy is at present impossible, but in cluding Alaska, our total Indian population is estimated at 3SU,tKJ'J persons; about y.i,oooot these ore within ages enabling them to re ceive instruction. But 153 schools are known to be in operation, with 194 teachers and C204 scholars. The appropriations made at tbe last session of congress for this purpose are estimated at $240,418 90, of which 9100,000 is in KiiK. aud placed under tne discretion 01 tne Secretary ot the Interior for tbe maintenance of industrial and other schools. 10 tbe above amount, expenditures bv religious bodies add tl6.o5f)t, and by tribes and individual Indians, 25.022 f2, making a total for the current year of 29,927-88. Under treaty stipulations the liabilities for educational purposes are estimated at $1S5,051'56. The total liabilities for this pur pose are given as bU$,4UU i, wnue the school and orphans' funds held in trust by the United States amount to 1,44 1,420 Oil, making the total liabilities 2,104,820-71. WHAT CONGKESS MAT DO FOR EDUCATION 1. It may do all things required for education In the territories. 2. it may do all things re quired for education in the District of Colum bia. 8. It may also do all things required by its treaties with and its obligations to tbe in dions. 4. The National Government may also do all that its international relations require in regard to education. 5. The Government should provide a national educational office and an offi cer, and furnish him clerks and all means for the fulfilment of the national educational obi I cations. 6. Tbe National Government may use either tbe public domain or the money received from us sale for the benefit of education. 7. The National Government may know all about education in -the country, and may communi cate of what it knows at tbe discretion of Con gress and tbe Executive. RECOMMENDATIONS. As tbe present opportunities of the bureau are utterly inadequate to the proper execution of these duties, the Commissioner recommends, first, to increase tbe clerical force of the bureau, to enable it to extend, subdivide, and systema tize its work, so that the correspondence, domestic and foreign, and the collection of statistics, may each be in charge of a person specially fitted for the same; second, that ap propriate quarters be furnished for making and preserving a collection of educational writings and materials; third, that Increased means be furnikhed for the publication of facts, statistics, and discussions; fourth, that tbe educational facts necessary for the inform tion of Congress be required by law to be reported through this Bureau, and that all schools among the people aided by the Govern ment be required to make all necessary reports called for by this Bureau; that no person be em ployed as a teacher among the Indians who has not a certificate of fitness, aud that no salaries be paid such teachers until such certification bas been received; fifth, in view of the specially limited financial resources and the great amount of ignorance in certain portions 01 our country, and the immediate necessity for elementary education to the people of those sections, and , tbe anxieties awakened by Impending Asiatic ' iu.iuiLiuoii. that LLo but lucootj from the sale of tte public lands be divided annually pro rata iB-wz tie jeij?l. lit t&e repcuve cwive.

Owing to private arrangements which I had the geofl fortune to make, I can gtve yon a pretty eor- reci account or wnat nappena nauy at me here, so far at least as those matters are conceraed which come under the observation of persons la the Jtmperora sane. Thus I can tell yon that the rumors about the pro babMltv of an armistice have caused a great flatter among the imperial party at the castle, which wan not allayed until tne newa or us rejection reached here. The vote of Paris, giving, aa It were, the stamp of legality to tte Provisional Government, has also caused very aopieasant reeling. The Kranerer naa expressed ins anguish at tne thought of a bombardment of Paris, the reconstruc tion and beautifying of which he considers as one ef the proudest works of his reign.
