The bill to establish a system of national education, introduced into tho House of Kep resentatives at its last session by Mr. George Frisbio Hoar, of Massachusetts, is again up for consideration, and its discussion is Bet down for the third Tuesday of January. If the'House has an adequate appreciation of its duty to the couutry, the debate on the bill will be brief, and its rejection over whelming. The nuiju and substance of the project is this: The President is to appoint for eaoh State, by and with the advico and consent of the Senate, a State superintendent of national schools, at a salary of $:S0O0 per annum. Eaoh of these superintendents is to diride his State into as many divisions as the State has Representatives in Congress, and the Secretary of the Interior is to appoint an inspector of each division at a salary of $2000 per Annum. Each of these divisions is to bs again divided into school districts, and the Secre tary of the Interior is to appoint in eaoh one a local superintendent, who is to receive $11 per day for the time actually employed in the duties of his office. The State superinten dent Is to direct how many schools shall be kept in eaoh dislriot, and the local superin tendent, with the approval of the State super intendent, is to hire or build the Bohool housos. There are provisions for taking pro perty for school purposes where none suitable can be had by voluntary contraot, and for furnishing books gratuitously to ohildren who are nnable to pay for them. The sum of $50,000,000 is directed to be oollected by a direct tax npon the several States to carry out the provisions of the bill; but if it be proved to the satisfaction of the President that any State has a system of common schools which provides reasonably for all the children there in, the collection of the tax and the appoint ment of officers in that State shall be sus pended. The chief point that strikes us in this sohe&ie is the immense patronage it proposes to place at the disposition of the United States Government, and the enormous ex penditure it will involve. There are 37 States in the Union, and nnder the new apportion ment there will be 241 representatives in the next Congress. Taking the population of the United States as 38,500,000, and allowing one school district to every 2500 inhabitants on an average, would make 14,400 distriots. Each district would require at least two schools, with at least one teacher for eaoh school, or 28,800 teachers in all. The num ber of officers and their annual salaries would therefore foot up something like this: 17 State Superintendents at $3000 ft 11,000 241 Division Inspectors at tioou 432,000 14,400 Local Superintendents at 13 per day for ir0 days. .-. 6,480,000 2S.OO0 Teachers atsooo 14,4oo,ooo 43,478 OrUeers, costing $21,473,000 Besides this, there are the expenditures for school-houses, books, stationery, fuel, and etceteras, to be made under the direotion of the Washington authorities. But without taking these into account, it is apparent that ine making of 4.5,47 appointments, and the disposition of $21,473,000 in money, give to the party in power an amount of influence exceedingly dangerous to the publio in tegrity. It will be said, of oonrse, that there is no design to apply the act to any States but the few which refuse to provide oommon schools for their people. There is no guarantee of this moderation. The whole thing is left to the judgment of the President, and there is nothing to prevent him from declaring that Massachusetts and New York, for example, do not provide 'reasonably for the ohildren therein, and in consequence taking their sys tems of public education into his own hands. And even as to those States which have no pretense of oommon schools, by what right does Congress meddle in the matter? The General Government was not ordained for any such purpose, and for it to attempt it is the grossest usurpation. Let the bill be killed as soon as possible, and buried forever. REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION. Prtm tht N. F. Timet. The meeting of the Republican Slate Com mittee foreshadows important and, we trust, salutary action. For years past cor rupt associations have demoralized the Re publican organization in New York oity, and deprived the party of its legitimate strength at the ballot-box. To oppose the "organ ized conspiracy" miscalled a municipal gov ernment, good men who werenot to be frightened or cajoled by Tammany Sachems and their camp-followers have made various reforming efforts from time to time. In all such efforts since the year when Tieman was chosen to the Mayoralty, Republicans have practically co-operated with honest Demo crats against the demagogues who wilfully betrayed every trust committed to their charge. When tax-paying citizens in voked a Republican Legislature to interpose in behalf of our city, the response to tneir appeal was prompt and earnest. When these citizens protested aqainst Democratic misrule, and denounced the municipal Government as "a conspiracy of bad men who had risen to power by deceiving and blinding one portion of the people, and buying another portion," bow oould the Republican party answer the plea, save by assenting to the demand for the creation of Metropolitan Commissions ? Anx ious, moreover, to conciliate those Demo cratic tax-payers who were so largely" re pre Rented by the "Citizens' Association," the Republican legislative majority ooncedad an equal share to Democrats and Republicans in the composition' of metropolitan boar Is The Board of Sepervisors was reconstructed through Democratic suggestions, under a law which gave six members to each of the two political parties, and in a corresponding spirit oi lnienuea --iair piay, the authority of commissions was originally divided Time has demonstrated this action to hive been a grave political error. Ktriutl v parti san commissions in the beginuing might have been unpopular, but they would, at least, have been responsible. Non-partisan boards were responsible to no one. The bars between Demooraoy and Republicaairfui were abruptly let down, and dishonest men in both party organizations began to ooalesoe and conspire for common profit. Influential lie publicans speedily . became participants of Democratic jobbery and its proceeds, and, in due time, made their way into Democratic) "twcH. lienoe the Sachems of Tammanv were soon found mingling in social clubs witn Republican leaders, and it was not long hf lore the underlings of these frater sizing chiefs had learned to imitate, in ward and district bargains, the corrup tions initiated by their superiors through joint official schemes and plundering don tracts. So. by decrees, from non-partisan Commissions, from irresponsible Boards of Supervisors, from New Court-house Rings, from jobbers in market-building and street opening, grew into strougtn tnose combina tions and intrigues oi disnonest Kepnblioans with dishonest Democrats, which have been active causes of party demoralization. Year by year the evil has grown until New York politics are sosndalized by the spectacle of successive legislatures bought and sold, judges bribed or otherwise improperly in fluenced, party leaders subsidized by their political opponents, municipal reformers pur chased outright with lucrative omoes, the "Citizens' Association" itself reduced to be a mere purveyor for the Tammany Ring, and that ring dominant in btate and city. From this state of things the Republican party has suffered grievously, and up to the last election it was almost hopoloss of relief. Of the Republican General Committee of 18,0, no less than forty delegates were recipi ents of Tammany money in salaries as office holders under tht Democratic city and county Governments; and the zeal with which they expected to do the bidding of their Tammany employers was measured in the late election by the activity and pertinacity with which they opposed all efforts to reform and reor ganize the party. For this reason it is now properly urged that Tammany office-holders shall not be placed in positions where they may, by any possibility, work harm to Re publican interests. The honest members of the Republican organization in the city, who cast y.,0(M)votes for their State ticket, and who have bo object in view but the rescue of our State from Democratic election frauds and violence, demand that their Republican associations and conventions shall be pro tected hereafter against the abuses of primary elections. They demand that Republican councils shall be secured from Democratic scheming, and that Republican candidates shall be honestly nominated and faithfully supported on Republican 'issues only, and elected, if dossible, by a pure ballot and a fair return. Concerning any question of so-called "re gularity auecting this or that county con vention or general committee, the State Com mittee, if they be wise, will take no heed. With any supposititious attitude of either United States Senator, they will have as little to do. The matter before thnm involves more than "regularity;" it affects the integ rity and efficiency of Republicanism in New York city, and relatively in the State. This putrid cancer of Tammany influence must be cut from the Republican organization, or it will eat out the strength thereof before ano ther Presidential cauvass. Let the State Committee direct such a reconstruction of the local associations as will make them ele ments of Republican strength, instead of auxiliaries to Tammany liall. Let their rolls, which now carry majorities of Democratic names, or of "bogus" names on which Democrats vote at Republican "pri maries," be purged of such spurious mem- uersnip. iiet ttie General Committee be no longer controlled by Tammany delegates. and nominating conventions be no longer "packed in trie interest of Demooratic aspi rants for office. Let Republican hucksterers who provide convenient inspectors for ap pointment by Mayor Hall, be left henceforth to Bell themselves only, and not their party. As for threatened divisions, there need be no apprehension on that score. The defec tion of the Republicans who are owned by Tammany will be no loss to us; they had better oppose openly than betray in secret. The Republicans w hom Tammany cannot buy will not be found alien to a sound party or- gamzuuon. SIGNS OF A PRESIDENTIAL SCRUB RACE AND ITS TERRIBLE DANGERS TO TIIE COUNTRY. F,om the JS, Y. Herald. When a great political party in the height of its power is slain, like Ctesar, in the Senate House, it means revolution and confusion in all tho body politio before there can be a res toration of order, system, and harmony. In a political sense, General Grant and his admin istration are menaced in the Senate with the fate of Ca-sar. The conspirators are there and the conspiracy is under way. Sumner, pompous, pretentious, and consequential, is the proper man to play the part of Brutus, Fenton is not quite up to the calibre of "the lean and hungry Cassius," but he has the spirit and the will, and be will do. Carl Schnrz, a red revolutionist by profession, of the Luropean Jacobin school, is the very fel low for the role of "the envious Casoa." The faithfnl Drake, in his farewell epeeoh in the Senate, might have said of Hohurz, in refer ence to the late Missouri election, as Mark Antony said over Ciesar s dead body 'See what a rent the envious Caaca made. Indeed, exoepting General Cameron, Gene ral Wilson, and one or two others, we are not certain General Grant has any supporters in the Senate who are honestly working for his success as the mainstay of the Republican party and the National Treasury. Some of the Senatorial body want a new party, as Calhoun wanted a new party when he found that General Jackson was too mnth for him: some have their petty personal revenges to satisfy, Bucn as A enton; some, disappointed in the spoils, have ceased to care a button whether Grant goes np or down; and some, intent only npon the enormous plunder of railway land jobs and whisky rings, would like to get General Grant out of the way, as an obstruction to their schemes. These are among the numerous signs of a general break-up of the Republican party, and of a disastrous scrub-race to the country for the Presidential succession. In this sorub-raoe we may look for three or four candidates from the dthria of the Republican party, and over three from the drifting materials of the Democratio party an Eastern candidate, say lionman; a Western candidate, iiendricKS, most likely; and a Southern candidate, pro bably Andy Johnson or Wade Hampton, and possibly Jen. Davis. In this month of December, 170, the con dition of the Republican party, though not so sharply defined, may be compared to that of the Democratio party in December. IS.j'.L Then the signs of an impending Daoaojratio dissolution stood out in bold relief ia both houses of Coneress: now the si ens of a Re publican break-up are only partially visible in the Senate. . Then the Southern oligarchy were with the President and ho was with them; now the Northern bolters and malcon tents are against the President, and so far they have not fatally crippled him. But the grand result of the fight among the Demo cratic politicians of 185D-00 is promised from these Republican bolters and disaffected leaders of 1870 the dissolution of the party and a Presidential sorub race from its sepi rated factions and sections. - i . What then? We shall ' not have the easy reconstruction of parties which followed the scrub race of 11424, nor the bloody resulU of a terrible civil war such as followed the L$ mocrstio dissolution and sontb race of 18".0; but chaos will come again. In 1824, when the old Republican party was finallvdissolved, and Jackson, Adams, Crawford, and Clay were run lor tne presidency, eaon upon bis personal merits, there were no delicate and dangerous questions to beanected by the election or any one of them over the others. In the end, there being no choice by the people, when the election was determined by the House of Representatives in favor of Adams, the re construction of parties which followed (crys tallizing eventually into the Demooratio and Whig parties) was more upon personal issues, such as the battle of New Orleans of 1815, raised between Jackson and Adams, than npon anything else. . In 1800, on the other hand, the Democratio scrub race was delibe rately contrived by the bouthern slaveholding oligarchy as an opening for an armed Rebel lion and an independent Southern Confede racy by force of arms. It was a fenceless and suicidal war on the part of Jeff Davis and the South, as the war against Germany has proved to be to Napoleon and France; but do we not see in both cases that asDirins and desperate demagogues are reckless of consequences.' Assuminc. then, that we are to have a Presidential scrub race in 1872, the Republi can party being broken up, it will make no material difference whether the election is made by the Electoral College or turned over to the new House of Representatives chosen in this year's elections. With the Republican party out of the way the party lines will dis appear, even iu congress, ana me meuiuors of the House, if called -to choose a President, will be controlled by the spoils and plunder. Therefore in 1872, whether we get a Presi dent from the people or the House (the Re publican party being broken up, and the Demooratic party too, on different candi dates, and General Grant being thrown out), a Bciub race will be followed by a political revolution in the Government itself. The political elements which for twelve years have been kept in the background will, as the most active and united forces, come to tho front; the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution will be de clared irregular, spurious, and void; the sove reign rights of the States eaoh to control its social institutions and political elections will be reaffirmed, and the national debt resulting from the war againBt the Confederate South ern states will be abated and repudiated, as a monstrous insult to the South and as an oppressive burden saddled upon the country by an unconstitutional despotism. btrong as our national bondholders feel in their secimties, we can tell them that their only reliable security is General Grant. He is pledged to the faithful redemption of the debt, and we all know that he is safe and sound on this great question. We are sure so far, but no further. Break up the party identified with Grant's administration, out off Grant, and give us a scrub-race candidate for our next President, and we shall have a scrub administration, a scrub Congress, and a con dition of political and financial chaos worse than that of I ranee under Gainbetta. Take away General Grant, and you can carry even the negro vote of tho South to-day for repu diation, and you may carry the vote of the West in the same direction to-morrow. The success of Carl Schnrz in Missouri i? a revo lutionary sign in that quarter of bad omen; for Schnrz is aptly defined in Bismarck's ex pressive allusion to those revolu tionary gang cuhttfH of France as "thoso gentlemen of the pavement." We have finished the work of a great revolu Hon, but now the reaction is upon us. Andy Johnson, in his last annual message to Con gress, in plumply proposing repudiation, had a glimmering of this, only he was a little too fast. But he picked out the arrow which may still strike the vulnerable heel of Achilles. If the administration party, pledged to the public debt, is broken up, the elements pledged among themselves to repudiation will take its place. This is the simple logio of the question. . Then, indued, shall we have something like the blessed bankruptcy, anarchy and universal demoralization of Mexi oo in full blast. Look at it. Twenty-five hundred millions of debt is a heavy burden; but it may be wiped out with a sponge, There is the danger the sponge. Schurz has none of these national bonds, they Bay, to look after, and bo the oourse is dear for him against Grant; but Fenton and bum ner are among the bloated bondholders, and their folly is amazing. But, oh! it may be said, these horrid foreshadowings are absurd. So it was thought of the warnings of the late Rebellion. We are sure of nothing in this age of startling events, and nothing revolu- lionarv is impossible. We venture, there fore, another prediction. Let these mutinous leaders of the Republican party continue their mischievous work against the adminis tration, bo as to make in 1871 General Grant's retirement from the Presidential field or bis defeat a foregone conclusion, and by tho year 1872 such distrust and fear will come upon our national securities aad such depre ciation that repudiation will become the ruling condition of the Presidential election. HONORS TO YOUNG MR. COLFAX. fruit Ike Sete Oiitans Time. The American mania for presenting parties in office with silver slop-bowls and ornamen tal tea-kettles has just touched the climax of its absurdity at Washington, where our solemn Solons of the Senate have stamped 1 1 . i 1 i j ' . i i wim ma seal oi approbation img custom, bo extensively practiced heretofore by needy custom-house subalterns and syoophantio policemen. The victim of the testimonial mania in this instance is the amiable owl who fills the second office in the nation the Honorable Smiler Colfax; but, in order to rob it as far as possible of the fish-like smell of fawning adulation, they have struck, as Bru tns did at Rome, through the bosom of her greatest son. Schuyler Colfax, Jr., aged about a half a dozen months, bound in swad dling clothes, still muling and puking in his nurse's arms, is the object of this weighty compliment from the "Senators of the XLI Congress, valued at $1000. In Taftany s window at New Xork city it is exhibited daily to gaping multitudes, and is described in an ecstacy of enthusiasm by the iournalistio bairey Gamps who nave examined It.

It is to be hoped that some other Senator will enhance the value of the gift by mixing the "young gentleman's" pap in the silver service. Senator Wilson, being a family man, could doubtless do so to per. fection, while Chandler iield the baby, and Morton chucked "goo, goo I'' to it. As for Sumner, Lis unfortunate lack of experience in such matters wonlJ perhaps debar a Par ticipation in this national tribute to. inno cence; he xuigbt still, however, maintain his standing in Sohujlor's estimation, by for warding from his scphomorio study a portion of infantile outfit, strangely neglected iu thin tefctimoniul; we refer to a hilver piu, of curi ous construction but Important use, thtt too might be made of fretted silver, elegantlr carved with flowers, in whioh the "bachelor's button" and "sweet pea" oonld be appropri- ateiy entwined.

From tht Barrinbitrf Patriot, The rumor that Mr. Forney has again be come the victim of a Pre ridential ingrate is fully confirmed. He announocs his determi nation to dispose of the organ in Washington, and devote himself henceforth to his beloved Pbilndelpbians in the Press. When the groat patriot became convinoed twelve years or so ago ot tne ingratitude of Buchanan in refus ing to give him a Cabinet position, he rushed from the White Ilousa breathing vengeful quotations from Byron's "Mazeppa," and started a newspaper. Under a keen sense of like injury at the hands of the present occu pant of that mansion, his first impulse is to Bell a newspaper. Then wrath and revenge impelled him to write. He now expresses his resolve to withdraw from the editorial service whioh has brought curses instead of rewards. The duodeoennial which has wrought such changes on all else has had its effect on the Philadelphia patriot. But a little while ago all was serene. The air was filled with pleasing rumors that Pennsylvania was again to have a place in the Cabinet of President Grant, and that Forney was to be the man. It was believed that the President was anxious to get rid of Postmaster-General Creswell, who'Uad shown no political power in Maryland. Some peo ple of course there were who affected to be lieve that the telegraph wires from Washing ton had been skillfully attuned by Mr. Forney himself. All the while the Chronicle was working most vigorously for the administra tion. Inspired by Cabinet expectations, the faculties of the editor seemed to expand. andf resh tales of Ku-klux barbarity were daily served np to his patron in the White House, In the very excess of his adulation, he lavished his praises on that clumsy mosaic, the Presi dent's message. All is changed now. Forney realizes that he has been deceived. Creswell is not going out of the Cabinet, and if any of Grant's ad visers withdraw, the editor of the Chronicle will not take bis place. A special Washing ton correspondent of the Patriot has given some of the details of this second of Mr. x orney s l residential quarrels. it seems that Grant insisted that the editor should "pitch into" Sumner and fcxhurz. This he refused to do, giving the excuse that they were his friend?, and that he had done enough of that Bort of work without receiving any substantial recognition of his services. Graut was probably asking too much of I orney in requiring that he should abuse Sumner, but it must be remembered that he witnessed the abuse which the Chronidc had poured out on Fessenden, Trumbull, and other Senators because they were honest and fearless enough to discharge their duties in the impeachment trial, in "ae fiance o& party clamor. Grant has his own views of the rela tions between the head of an administration and its organ, and they seem to be quite cor rect. Forney was entirely willing to perform the services required of him, but Grant did not show any disposition to reoiprocate. For in the position of Postmaster-General, he would have made war on Sumner, Hohurz, and any other political friends with the same facility which he evinced in reconciling him self with Senator Cameron. In oonsequenoe of Grant's obtuseness, Mr. Forney withdraws from the organ, and Sumner will have the in finite satisfaction of retaining his friend. When Forney is gone, who will invent those Ku-Klux tales which filled the souls of the faithful with horror and furnished the ready pretext for military interference in Southern elections? Who will( interview the "intelli gent gentleman who has just arrived from Texas," or the "devoted loyalist who gives a thrilling picture of the outrages committed on our colored fellow-oitizens in Alabama." Grant will yet realize the extent of his loss in the defection of Colonel Forney. There is no one to fill his plaoe. city rrisra. B0Y8, Boys, Boys.
