Our Table.
UiSTORV in our Covuox ScnooLS. Love
of country ought to burn in over breast with
a steady and reliable flame. It ought to be,
and is to a great extent, the mother element
of our national life. It would be stronger,
steadier, moro rename, h every citizen un
derstood our institutions, their origin, devel
opment, progress and promises. This un
derstanding can bo had by thoso alone who
study tho history of tho country from ila'dis-
covcry to the present time, who gather tho
lesson of its greatness from the successive
steps tno miners made toward liberty and
independence, until mey gained the realiza
tion of their hopes in a frco land and a self
governed people.
Systematic study of tho history of tho
United States is not generally pursued in
tho common schools, although something
to answer tho form of historical investigation
Is there attempted. The subiect has becomo
distasteful In late years, not becnuso it lacks
interest, not because Its importance is un
derrated, but because historical text-books
do not convey tho facts of history in attrac
tive form. The story of our national travail
and birth is one of tho most exciting and
absorbing relations in all history, when
properly presented. When shorn of its il
lustrati-vo incidents, legitimate deductions
and grand climax, it is tame ana dry as any
uooks oi nisiory cut tno grand and soul
thrilling record down to its dry chronologi
cal features anil expect it to excito the en
thusiasm of youth 1
Wo feel Impressed with the view that no
chance presents a wider field for improve
ment than that contemplated by the friends
of reform in school histories. It Is a subiect
of the first importance to tho eople, for
uiion its wlso determination depends the ad
vancement of our children in knowledge of
their own country, nnd no knowledge is of
greater moment to tno iiuuro cuizen.
Our attention has recently been called to

Wasiiisbto.v, D. C., Nov. 19, 1877,
Tho efforts of a few Republican Senators
to institute a war upon tho adminlstration,on
account of its courso with respect to appoint
ments, has met with a decided rebuke during
the past week. Mr. Edmunds and a few
other Senators have had a free and full talk
with tho President, and havo carried back
to their colleagues a very comprehensive un
derstanding of his intentions. This, in brief,
is that tho President has appointed Demo
crats to office only in such localities in the
South in which ho has been unable to secure
Republicans of suitable responsibility and
ability. So far as the fear that such officers
will not carry out the constitutional amend
ments is concerned, no win hold them re
sponsible for the performance of their duties
under their oaths to support the constitution.
The appointment of Democrats is exception
al, and only aunlics to excetttional raises. In
regard to the other features objectionable to
these Senators, the President lrankly stated
tuat lie is responsible lor tue Honesty ana
success of his administration, and. therefore.
must bo remitted to exercise jwrfect freedom
in tho selection of his instruments, nnd that
his first desire was to inako appointments
which were acceptable to tho communities
in which thoso filling them were to perform
their functions ; that ho did not wish to
wholly ignoro tho friendly interest of the
Districts or (States in wnich tno ollicc to be
filled were located ; but that ho would not
mako appointments in tho individual or
personal political interests of any ono as
ncainst the wishes of a community, as had
frequently been donc,and tho result of which
lias been weaken tno nep.ubiiean party.
On last Saturday a Republican Senatorial
caucus was held, in which Senator Edmunds
stated substantially these views as tho result
of his conference with the President. There
is no question that Conklmg and thoso Sena
tors, Cameron of Pennsylvania,- Jones of
Nevada, and a few others who havo embark
ed their political fortunes in tho same craft,
have started off on an up-stream conflict.
There are no less, it is now discovered, than
fifteen Republican benators who will sup
port tho President. As the Democrats will
support all capable nominations, the dis
satisfied Republican minority will not have
much of a show. Tho caucus did not indi
cate that its members would embark as a
body in the olrensivo demonstration threat
ened beforo tho elections.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs havo
completed their labors upon tho Paris Exiio
sitiou bill. Hewitt's " corn cake" propo
sition was voted down without a dissenting
voice, greatly to the indignation and irrita
tion of thoso masters of ceremonies of the
Tilden campaign of 1876,
There is an excellent prospect of turmoil
on the tariff question. The Comraitteo on
ways anu jucans nave appointed a suu-com-
mittec of fivo to revise existing shedules of
duties and tne modo ol their collection. At
least, three out of the fivo aro pronounced
that the inoro recent exticricnces of England
anu tno increasing clamor oi per mauuiac-
turers tor protection against American com
petition, may havo something to do with in
fluencing their action. It is generally ad
mitted that tho present list of dutiable art!
clcs could bo materially simplified without
seriously affecting tho interest of American
manufacturers, or tho revenuo of the Gov
ernment. Tho results of the labors of tho
committee will doubtless bo a traiff on tho
basis of revenue.
Tho " dollar of our daddies." as tho silver
rcmonetization is facetiously expressed, is
not gaining as much head-way as " Bonan
za" Jones would like. The House bill.better
known as tho " bill of Flood and O'Brien, of
tho great silver mines ot Nevada," does not
seem to be quite as taking .with tho Senato
us uiu jKirut-s uuensivu wish.
The Committee are evenly divided on the
question. The Secretary of tho Treasury
Bays mat unlimited rcmonetization will per
manently anu disastrously euect tue luuu
ing operation oi me government.
Tho moment this bill passed tho House
tho sale of Government bonds by the Syn
dicate abruptly terminated. Up to this time
the Secretary, in tho sale of low-interest
uonas, nad ciiccioi a savinir ol 4,uuo.uuo,
and in the completion of the placing of this
loan would save an 'aggregate of $24,000,-
uuu.

priations was routed on Saturday, in its ef
forts to reduce tho numerical strength of tho
Army from 25,000 to 20,000 men. The voto

ment and 130 against it. Tho whole bust

subject knows that the cost of transportation
of a small body of troops from place to place,
and particularly at long distances, will
amount, ot the end of the year, to as much
as If the ranks of the army were maintained
at a footing equal to tho neccessitics of the
country. Ueneral JlcClellan ex-on to Rich

Tlie Coolbaugh Suicide.
From onr Speolal Correspondent.
Chicago, Nov. 17. 1877. It is not often
that a caso of suicida a plain, unquestioned
case, with not a shadow of a possibility of its
being a muruer causes tuo excitement cre
ated by the self-murder of Mr. William
Coolbaugh, tho banker. lie had been so
troinineut in nuance anil pontics, no nau
cen nt tho head of so creat an institution,
nnd the announcement of his death came so
unexiiectcdly that it created an intense ex
citement. The place where he did tho deed
too was apparently selected with an eye to
dramatic effect. He shot himself on tho
baseof the Dpuglas monument an unfinish
ed structure which stands in a littlo park in
tho southern part of tho city. What strange
attraction drew him there, and why ho
should havo blown out his brains thero rath
er than in one of a hundred other equally
lonely spots, it is hard to conjecture. It is
most likely that it had struck his fancy in
Ilia ramblincs, and that tho very solemnity
nnd quiet attaching to the littlo enclosure
were what chietly drew him thither. That
ho was insane when he killed himself is un
questioned. As to what disturbed tho bal
ance of his powerful mind, thero aro many
conjectures, each of which has doubtless
some truth in it. Ho was beginning to feel
