Newberry- \fjjropN in ihe I'uhitc-ohoots ol Wash- The Washington cm respondent of tie Baltimore sun says: Some of the trustees ot the public schoi F-, bucked up by the mayor, seem determ in mined to fore** an issue on the question ot mixed schools. On Monday last a iittle girt named Martin, daughter of Rev. Sella Martin, pastor of the Fifteenth street Pres byteriuu Church, presented herself to the “mo.tel Hchool.” taught by Miss Noyes, with a ticket of admission signed by Geo. B. Vashon, a colored trustee for the first district. The girl’s father being a bright mulatto uud Ike mother almost white, the negro blood wasnot{at first discovered, ami the ticket was admitted uud the scholar ac cppted. A few moments afterwards Miss Noyes discovered that the child was colored, and sent tor Mr. J. S. Brown, one of the sub board of the trustees, who sent the girl home, and then went to see Mrs. Martin, uud advised her not to send the child to tne school. The sub board subsequently hud a meeting and determined that the girl should be considered suspended until the corpora tion attorney could give an opinion ou the subject. This morning Murtiu re-appeareil with the girl, and talked to the teacher iu a very boisterous manner. He claims to be supported by Mayor Bowen and Corpora tion Attorney Cook, anil says bo wants the issue to be made in this case. The trustees say that the attendance of tho girl before the question is definitely settled will have a demoralizing effect upon all the schools in the District. M»yor 80-wen, it is understood, claims that the actual admission of the child by the teacher, although she was not aware of her race, now necessitates her remaining !n the school. The subject has created a great deal of excitement among parents and scholars, and it will probably be met by the action ot the school trustees in special meeting. Miss Noyes, the teacher of the school, is from Boston, and has no antipathy to the colored race; but when she ascertained the presence of her African scholar, she considered it her duty to inform the trustees and to leave the matter entirely in their hands. The trustees had another meeting this afternoon, but no definite conclusion was rpaehed. Martin himself does not receive much sympathy. The white people, of course, object to his movement, while the colored 1 people say it is with him a question of caste, I and that as bis child i 3 nearly white, he j considers her above association with black people, and wants to force her upon the whites. Important Speech of Napoleon. Paris, Nov. 29. —The sessions of tho Senate and Corps Legislate were re-oponed to-day wuh great ceremony by the Em peror, who delivered a speech from the throne. It the Empress might return in time to take part iu the ceremo nies, but she has not yet reached Pari.-. The Emperor said: “It is not easy to establish regular and peaceful liberty in Franco. For months past society seemed menaced by subver sive passions, and freedom compromised by excesses of the press ami public unseal blages ; but common sense has already properly judged these culpable exaggera tions, which after all have served but to prove the solidity of the edifice founded by popular suffrage. But this uncertainty uud trouble must lust no longer. The will of the people must be known. Franco wants liberty with order, and order I an swer for. Help m<>, Messieurs, to secure liberty. Bet ween those who would change all «nd those who would grant nothing a glorious course may be chosen. The Emperor then referred to the Sona tas Consultant of September lust, which he said he had proposed with the purpose ot inaugurating a new era of conciliation and progress. He proceeded to enunciate the municipal reforms to be made. He pro nounced the situation of the country satis factory, and declared that the more ho was ready, however, to grunt reforms, the more decided he was to maintain the principles of the constitution. The relations of France with foreign powers were friendly. The Emperor continued : “ We have rea son to be proud of our epoch. The Now World suppresses slavery, Russia frees her serfs, England renders justice to Ireland, Bishops are meeting at Romo lor wise and conciliatory purposes, aud the progress of science draw’s nations nearer to each other. While America unites the Atlantic and Pa cific, everywhere capital and intelligence combino to connect by electric wires all nations, France and Italy will soon be joined by tunnel through the Alps, and the Suez Canal buß already united the Med iterranean and the Red Sea. The Empress is not present to-day, because I desired her to testify the sympathy of France with the wonderful genius and perseverance of a Frenchman.” The Emperor concludes .* Messieurs, you resume your labors after an unusual inter ruption of the session; I hope the bodies of the State will apply loyalty to. the modifi cations lately made in the constitution.— There is to be a more direct participation of the nation in its own affairs. This will be a new force for the empire. France can support free Institutions which honor civ ilized nations.” Paris, Nov. 29.—The following is a sy nopsis of the reforms promised in the Em peror’s speech: Mayors are to be chosen from municipalities; municipalities will be elected by universal suffrage ; communal councils will be established; fresh preroga tives will be granted to the' “ conßeiles gen eranx.” The colonies are to participate in this movement. Universal suffrage will be extended, and there will be a more rapid development of primary education, a dim!- nation nf tha nnaf* of jnatice And A redac tion of die war t«T on successions; the savings bank system Is to be extended; more humane regulations are to be made for 4be labor of children, and there is to be an increase to small salaries In pnbliC offi ces; useful measures connected with agri culture are promised, also an inqniry into the excise and project of law regarding cus tom duties. - The speech sayß the situation is satisfactory; that the foreign relations are the snbject of congratulation; that its finances are prosperous, and- that the Chambers must prove that France is capa ble of free institutions, which are the honor of civilized countries. Paris, Nov. 29—Evening.—Large crowds were collected around the hall of the Corps Legialatif to day, but no disturbance occur red. Within tbe Chamber the scene was one of great interest. Henri Rochefort jwas not present, and his name, when called, was received with hisses. The Emperor's address was listened to with the deepest attention, and was fre quently applauded. At that point where tho Emperor declared be would answer for the preservation of order the applause be- 1 came enthusiastic. The official journals this evening praise the speech, while the opposition press complain that tbe Emperor does not promise reforms which France needs. London, Nov. 27.—Despatches from Cork, Dublin and Tipperary report that there have been several Fenian demonstra tions in various parts of Ireland.

Copenhagen, Nov. 27.—The official newspaper of Denmark publishes the fol lowing : “The ratification of the sale of the island of St. Thomas to the United States Government has been postponed for six months.’’ Paris, Nov. 27.—M.

Monday Afternoon. —Court met at 21 o’clock. The case of Brintnall va. Sprenger was resumed. Counsel for defendant asked that a non-suit be entered, on the ground that the contract between plaintiff and de fendant was void, from the fact that its ful filment would have resulted iu a violation of law’, aud that no penalty can attach to its non-fulfilment. Plaintiff’s counsel argued that the con- tract between the parties was not an illegal one, as it only stipulated that defendant should deliver two barrels of beer to plain tiff at Penningtonville, Chester county.— Defendant being a licensed manufacturer of beer, had a legal right to sell to plaintiff, who was a licensed dealer; and be did con tract to sell to him, as be had frequently sold before. Defendant bad no right there fore to refuse to fill his contract on the mere supposition that plaintiff might dispose of the beer in un illegal manner. The Court ordered a non-suit to be en tered in the case on the ground that the tes timony clearly showed that plaintiffintend ed selling the beer in Chester county, where he had no license. As the contract con templated an illegal act, it was void, and plaintiff could not recover, no matter what his pecuniary loss may have been on ac count ot its non-fulfilment. Plaintiff’s counsel asked for a rule to show cause why the non-suit should not be taken off, which was granted. Price and Dickey for plaintiff. Atlee and Reynolds for de fendant. In the case of Bair & Shenk vs. Benjamin B. Hess judgment was entered'in open Court in favor of plaintiff for §314.84 dam ages and costs—the value of a certain prom issory note. “ Casts.”—d?nl ton Hall was filled on-Fri day evening by a large and intelligent audi ence, assembled to listen to tbe Hon. Charles SamneFs lecture on Caste. .The speaker was introduced in'.a few compli mentary remarks by Mayor Atlee, who said that the Honorable Senator’s name was a household word wherever liberty is loved or freedom cherished. The orator thanked Ibo Mayor for his handsome com pliment, and after describing the throbbing of bis bosom, on ibis the first occasion of his visiting to the sacred spot which bad been the home of bis great colleague Tbaddeos Stevens, be at once prepared for the heavy work be had cut out for himself, which was to demonstrate tha. absolute equality and unity of all tbe races and tribes of tbe hu man family; their equal co partnership in all civil, social, religious and political pri vileges, without regard to caste, color, hab in-, language or conformation; they were all men, created in the imago of God, who had made of one blood all the nations of the earth. Profoundly believing this doc t. ine, he maintained that if man was white, he was no more than man ; and if he was black or yellow, he was no less. The gov ernment of man for centuries has been but a device, a trick, or at best an art; but tbe time will come when it will be a science, ‘ with laws as fixed as astronomy or chem ! iatry, when the science of universal jus j tice will place all men of all climes under | the law of right, which is to.do unto others i as they would De done by. Tbe Senator then took his hearers to In dia, and exhibited to them the rigid orders and ranks that have existed there for ages. The Sacred Book of the Hindoos describes five different castes or orders of human be ings: Ist, the Bramin, who was boru cut of the mouth of the Creator. 2nd, the Sol dier, born from the arm of the Creator. 3J, the Husbandman, born from the thigh of the Creator. 4tb, tbe Sudra, born from tho foot cf the creator. No one belonging to an inferior Caste could ever hope to rise to a superior one —a vegetable might as well be expected to become a mau. The Brahmin was the child of rank; the Sudra the child of toil and servitude. The Brahmin was ex empt from punishment, toil aud taxation ; the Sudra pays all. the taxes, does all the work, and receives oil the punishment. If a Sudra dares to sit on the carpet of a Brah min he is banished, if he speaks contempt uuusly to a Brahmin a red hot stile, ten inches long, is thrust into his mouth ; if be dares to give advice to a Brahmin, hot oil is poured into his mouth and ears. As may be expected under such circumstances there is not much advice giveu. But there is another Caste still lower than the Su dras; they are the Parinha, the outcasts, with whom uo others hold any communi cation ; they may be killed without ques tion; their preseuce is considered contamin ation ; a Brahmin may not walk where their shadow bus fallen without undergo ing purification; they are thrown over board by all, and to use a modern phrase, “ a Pariah has no rights that a Brahmin is bound to respect.” The Senator adverted to tbe Caste exist ing in Europe, where nobles and serfs suc ceed to the titles or toils of their respective parents, instancing among others tbe great Bunyan, who succeeded his father as a tinker. In our own country the hereditary caste of honor has been white, and the opste of degradation black ; and the advocates of caste, forgetful of the teachings of tbe fathers and the principles of the Declara tion of Independence, cry out for “a whito man's government.” The white man is our Brahmin, and the black mau our Sudra. This assumption of superiority of color opens a question of surpassing inter est in religion, science and government. — The Senator acknowledged thut Prof. Ag assis and most other eminent ethnologists und philologists denied tbe unity of human creation and claimed divers origins for the various races of men, and attempted to prove their theory by language, history and the sculpture on the monuments of ancient Egypt, where tho different races are found to be in shape, color aud condi tion the same ns they are now; but the .Senator says these scientists cannot agree among themselves, some of them dividtug the human family iulo four races, the white black, yellow and olive, whileothers subdivide them into eleven tribes, aud still others into sixty five. Science therefore was still at fault, having failed to fix the number of races originally|created. On Him other hand the Seuutor quoted from Hum boldt and Shakespeare as to the uu” oi the human family, and stuted that v unl ever difficulties there might be in the way of proytng a siugle creation, there were far greater difficulties in supposing or proving a plurality of creations. And.be the races few or many, there is one overrul ing unity, one common humanity, and one moral, physical and prophetic destiny knitting together all mankind, and separ ating them from all other creations. God has given to all men the same organization, the same longevity, the same capacity,aud the same hope of after life; and by these tokens he claimed for him everywhere the same rights of man. The grandest, noblest achievement iu the history of the world will bo the establishment of a universal government oi humanity. The Senator was uot discouraged by the vast extent of the earth’s surface now oc cupied by barbarian savages. Believing iu God, he believed aUo iu man. Tbe Eu inpt-an who now stands in the light of civ ilization, once groveled in darkness and barbarism. lauded iu Great Britain the English, now so polished, were naked, painted savages. They were cer tainly not above the level of tbe native New Zealander or Australian. They were then represented as large, and tall, and clumsy, and could not stand firmly on their legs. They dwelt iu tents and were savage m 1 matiner. ilumau sacrifices were offered by bloody priests. There was an active trade in slaves—not black but white slaves —tbe English pedlers Igoing through the country buying up children as mod tu pedlers buy rags, parents frequently selling their own offspring, when a tempting price was offered. The Irish were still worse. They were vo racious man-eaters, who led on the dead bodies of their own parents, and it was his torically stated that tho Irish slaves fre quently fed on human flesh. They planted little or nothing, taitoed their bodies aud painted them blue to make them look more terrible iu battle. Fathers and brothers had wives and concubines in com mon. lathe time of Henry VIII, there was no such thing as comlort in Eugland, the very word was then unknown. The people lived in hovels built of atone, with out mortar; they bad no doors or window?; the floors were of clay, covered with rushes, festering with ;spittle, vomit, uud the ex crement of dogs and men. They bad no books, no writers, no works of art; but lived aud died in filth and misery on beds that had been unmade for years together. And yet these were not Africans, but your own ancestors. Could anything worse be said of tho moat barbarous tribes of Africa ? As an illustration of how caste affected the French people, even at a comparatively modern date, the Senator informed bin hearers thui the celebrated Madame Duchastelet, a lady of rank aud great learning, u great mathe matician, the translator of Newton, un£ the friend of Voltaire, thought it not amiss to undress and expose her person ifa the pres ence of her men-servants, on the ground that they did not belong to the human family. But there has been progress in Franco since then, and progress here, which prefigures progress everywhere. Op portunity and a training baud will raise nations or individuals to the same level. Drive caste from this Republic and it will soon, like Cain, find no place on earth to rest its foot. Especially would the Senator plead for the poor down-trodden African. He may bo as savage as your aucestors have been. If you imagine yourself supe rior to him, give him the helping hand lift him up. To whom much has been given of him shall much be required. Wherever mau exists thoro also exists the capacity to develop aud improve manhood. The Senator paid a glowing tribute to the power of the Printing Press, the Steam En gine and the Electric Telegraph. By these is civilization extended and secured. By these time and space are overcome—the most distant parts of the earth are brought i iuto communion. Like the wheel of the Alpine engine, they constantly move for ward and can nevor fall back. The world could better afford to lose all knowledge ol the greatness ot Greece and Rome, includ ing the eloquence of Demosthenes and Cicero, than lose these great agents of uni versal civilization. In taking leave of this question of Caste, the Senator felt that be had not done it jus lice, having left out whole chapters and arguments that might have been adduced ; but he felt the graudeur of the theme ; and painted in glowing colors, the mellenium of universal unity and humanity which is about to dawn, when all the nations of the earth shall fuse and umalgimate iuto one homogeneous whole; when the Europeans, Chine.-e, and Africans, shall lose all dis auctions of caste and color, aud be blended with us into one harmoious citizenship as the rivers of the earth are mingled ,and lost in one vast seu. Masonio Visitation.— M. E. Comp. George Griscoin, Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Pennsylvania, will com mence the last of his visitations to the dif ferent Chapters of the State this day week.

Alone Christmas. perhapa N>°ner, the power of the Snow Ssng will be fnlly re vealed onto us, and for many weeks he will hold almost an undisputed sway over oar land. The streets will with snow, and the music of the sleigh bells will ring merrily out in the cold, frosty atmos phere. The demand for overcoats ana far* will be largely increased and while the rich, comfortably clad, glidealong in splen* did sleighs, the poor will shiver in their thin, ragged garments. In the country there will not be so much poverty and wretchedness, the coming winter, as there will be in the city. When the wind fiercely drives before it the cold sleet and snow, a dwelling in the country, although it may be of the moat humble character, often presents in its interior a scene of comparative comfort. The propri etor may be a day laborer, bat fuel uod many of the necessaries of life are much cheaper and more generally distributed a o4 ong all classes of people in the rural dis tricts than they are in large cities, and con sequently QtterdestitutioQ is seldom known : in his humble dwelling. It is therefore the duty of those living in ! cities to aid, as far as toeir oircuinsiauoea ! will admit, the worthy poor, aud particulur ! ly is -it incumbent upon those, who have j been blessed with a surplus of the world’s goods, to give some portion of them to the benevolent institutions among us which are especially established to care for those, who through no fault of their own, are unable to provide for themselves the necessaries of life. Send in Local News.—A contemporary very appropriately requests that its friends throughout the county furnish it with the local news. The arguments ji uses are strong ones, and we hope the readers of t be Intelligence it will follow the advice given, and forward us all items of public interest. It says: There is nothing that adds so touch to the value of a county paper as a liberal supply of borne news. Nothing is needed to ac complish this bat for some person of ordin ary intelligence in each neighborhood t" send for publication whatevet events of local iuterest may transpire. Many event* may happen ol local interest that some persons think not of sufficient cousequenee to send for publication; but it is a pretty good rule to lay down that whatever excites interest among the people of the neighbor hood is a matter of sufficient interest for publication in the county paper. What ever happens that people are sure to talk about, when they meet, will iuterest them If they see it in the paper. Au unusually large crop, the sale of real estate, accidents of any character either to man or animals, an unusually large day’s work or the thousand and one things that ;form the staple of conversation throughout the coun try, will contribute to make the column of a county paper interesting and attractive. Send In your items, friends, and all our readers will thank you. Quercitron Bark.—The chief supply of Quercitron Bark for Europe, ever since its general introduction fifty years ago, has been sent from the ports of Philadelphia and Baltimore, with occasional consign ments from New York. The following ad ditional facts respecting this bark will be of iutferest to our people, a number of manu factories of this bark being located in this couhty. Philadelphia Bark comes in hogs heads, as is well known, and from the lact that in Philadelphia it is branded ‘firs, sort und must consequently be up to the mark in quality, gives a reputation to that port which no other rivals. Baltimore bark eomesUn bags, and most of It is intrinsical ly the same as that which comes from Phil adelphia, but from the fact that it is not so carefully ground orpacked, fetches, a much lower price; ths first quality of Phiiade)“ phia commanding §OO per ton. and the first and second qualities of Baltimore Bark commanding s>3s,to $45 per ton. As this article abounds in untold quanti ties in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, At*., and as tho consumption in Europe is so enormous, it may be well to call attention to a “ new feature,” which will give more general employment, and benefit every body. Thu “ new leature” is, to send the Bark “ pulverized,” like Flour or Flavine. This attained, the port of shipment or place of production makes no difference, whereas the value increases to $7O to $4O per ton, -Wherever Bark or Sumac mills abound llieir present machinery can readily be ad justed to do the work of “ fine .grinding ; ” when nolhing remains but its being packed in hogsheads, lined with paper, and tran shipped to England from any contiguous port. The consumption will be Jurgely in creased. Moravian Anniversary.—Sunday Avas the l'24th anniversary of the Moravian Church of this city. The morning service commenced with Te Dcum Laudatans , aud was followed by an able sermon by the pastor, Rev. Bishop Bigler, tbe text being from Ezekiel 34: 29. “And I will raise up for them a plant of renown.” In the after noon love feast was celebrated, each one of the congregation partaking of a cup of coffee and a.rusk, as is usual ou such occa sion. Bishop Bigler delivered an Anni versary. Address, in which he recounted many interesting facts connected with the history of the Church from its organization ,to the present lime. Iu the evening the ; sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was ad ministered. The ceremonies throughout the day were interesting and impressive, aud unusually large congregations were present.

The Book Table.and Editorial Department are vigorous as useful; Mr. Burr gives his valedictory, retiring to make way for Dr. English, under whose vigorous ability the volume for 1870 will, unquestionably, in crease in merit and popularity.

The ceremony took place in the pool or a Baptist Church in Reading—the water in the Conestogo creek being too cold; and perhaps for another reason. A man was recently baptized In the Schuylkill, who said be was so wicked, that he feared all the dams on the stream would be washed away before damnation could be washed out of him. Gray, the author of “ An Elegy written In a country Church-yard,” wrote the fol lowing lampoon, on an. old sinner who had been admitted to Holy Orders: So Tophet looked—so grinned the ertsaly fiend.

The ladies say: . ~ , „ “ It has doubtless been noticed in-looking over our acknowledgements that very few donations have been received for some months past, occasioned we presume to an erroneous opinion prevailing that we are paid for the maintenance of our children. We have eighty-four soldiers’ orphans, lor each of these we are paid two dollnn per week for board, washlug, clothing and tut tion. It is self-evident that a fund accruing from such a source must be leanness itself. We have fitty-seven friendless children wholly dependent upon a bumaneand gen erous public. For these we make this ap peal. They too must be fed, clothed aud educated. The wants of these, denied the precious boon of fostering parental solici tude, committed to our care prompts us at this period to urge attention iu their behalf. We therefore invite a general donation visit on Wednesday, December Stb, 18G9, at which time we will be moat happy to wel come to our new Home, tbe farmer, bring ing with him wood, Hpples, applebutter. meal, lard, vegetables, Ac.; Cabinet makers . with any useful article of furniture, eur merchants, grocers, und every friend of the Home, come laden with something to sup ply the wants and thus gladdeu the hearts of the inmates and Managers. We will be glad to see our friends from Columbia, Marietta aud all parts of thecounty. Every friend of tbe friendless couie and see the new Home erected by your benevolence and see also the children, the wards of the people of Laucaster county. Reader,this is your Home and these your children, many of you have seen neither. A merchant of our city called the other day, stiying, “ I want to see tbe new Home, hav iugseen tbeold ouetfor tbe first time to day, and say that you have not secured a new Home a day too soon.” We trust there will be a generous response to this call, knowing alt who will thus lend to the Lord will surely experience that “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Mrs. S.

To ow CutUmerM and : The surprising development of onr national resources and tho rapidity with which tho government Is now enabled to reduce tho na tional debt, by weekly purchases, render It ap parent that the time la approaching when tho Five-Twenty bonds may be funded at not over four or four and a half per coot. Interest. Meanwhile their high price, as compared with other classes of securities paylug an equal rate of interest, la leading to general In quiry for moro profitable forma of investment in which money may bo safely invested. During the war the necessities and peril of the government, and tho consequent cheap ness ol Its securities, rendered them so attrac tive lha*, from this cause, combined wllh tho patriotic faith of tho people In their safety, they absorbed almost tho entire floating capi tal of the country, and diverted attention from other cla'a-B of securities which had boforo been deemed sufficiently conservative aud toaud to meet the wants of the most cautious investors.

It no longerneeilH th-* country's capital, but de sires gratefully and honorably to ropay 1C The rapid accumulation of capital for invest ment, and th'i reduction ot tho national debt and Improvement of the notional credit— rendering It oertatu that hereafter but a com paratirly low rate of Interest can be derived from Investment In government bonds—ls compelling the search for other sa'e and well guarded chanuols Inio which capital not em ployed In buslnosu may wisely How. Tho cfileiprlpas of Peace, no less uoedful tn their time aud pla'co, for tfio common welfare, than were Uio waste aud cost of War, now call for the capital which the government no longe. needs, and. offer for Its use a remuneration which tho government need manager pny,;and in somo cases, a security as stublo and endur ing os the fall li of the nation Itself- The deslro to capitalize tho premium which may now he realized upon Five-Twenty bonds, and which a muto-lal decline Iu Gobi toward par, and tho ability of tho Government to fund thorn at a lower rate of interest, may at any time exilngujHb, Is felt by mauy holders who deslro s'tmo satisfactory assurance as to wtiich of the many lower-prlcoJ securities lu the mar ket would afford the necessary cafety to justify an oxchuugo.
