The result in the English House of
Lords shows that
,the apprehensions of
"any serious - resistance, by that body, to
the enactment of the church-disestablish
ment policy, were really without solid
foundation. Net only a decisive majori
ty supported the Ministerial measure, but
the House went even farther, and took
the wind fairly out of the sails of the
Liberal - agitators. Ministers had pro
posed to relieve the injustice - which main- ..
taxied the Protestant form of worship in
the midet of - and at the expense of a pop
ulation almost exclusiirely Catholic, by
stripping the , former of its offensive fea
ture as .a State establishment, substituting
therefor an equal but shadowy protection
extended to the , two religions, sub
, stantially remitting both -of them

local populations. This policy was car

sent to the other House, there were seen
indications of an opiOsition to it by the
Tory press, both temporal and spiritual.

longer to present the two anomalies of a

Lords has overleaped the liberal opinion
of the Commons, since the one has raised
up a faith forcenturies despised and trod

was simply content to remove a large
part of the civil burdens from a crushed

turned upon the ministerial policy, de
volving the responsibility for an issue of

sectarian faith, upon the original engin

MANUFACTURING SUPREMACY .
Some months ago, lir a series of arti
cles, we endeavored to depict and im
press on the minds of the manufacturers
of this city and, county the advantages
which would result to themselves and
successors, and the whole count-y, now
and through xl2 bate, from the establish
ment in tne University, located here, of a
Department cf Technical Science, liber
ally endowed and equipped, for the pre
liminary training of large numbers of
young men for the higher industries_ of
civilized life. What we sought to show
was, that the market value of labor de
pends not so much upon the muscular
force put into it, as upon the amount and
grade of intelligence with which it is
conducted; tharoperations, Whether large
or small, encounter failure or win suc
cess, mainly as bthins or bones are relied
upon, tbe former generally getting
ahead, and thtlatter as commonly falling
behind; that treign manufacturers were
resorting to mental training, the mosttex
act and thorough, as a substitute for the
highly protective duties which their gov
ernmenti formerly imposed on coni s peting
products, and were finding unexpected
and opulent resources therein; that the
New England manufacturers, quick to
perceive:and eager - to **age, bad cor
dially accepted this policy and were ar
dently pursuing it; and , thatif the,manu
fficturers of Pittsburgh - 'did not bestir'
themselves, earnestly in this matter they
might, after the lapse of,some,years, find
the PiOtective Policy - deserted by the New' ,
Englanders, and theintgilves without those
educational reliatices. ;which w4ll have
become, in the Progress of affairs, the onli
'effectual tiabstittite: We do not hear,that
.what we then offered has as yet produced
any subtitatitial fritieDnr niantifietetrers,
if they were really made better acquainted
with their,needs and opportunities, were
not - brought to feel that the University
his special ;thins on them, or eau be
•
made as absoluteli subidditsiy t(i' the
growth and permanence of their fortunes,
joi any engine, leVer,-whiel Or teortirhar.;
soever in their mills and. factories, and
even more productive than any merely
physical instrumentality. The University
does, indeed, grow apace, but not pri•
rustily because of their interested or dis
interested liberality towards it. One cite,
izen, and he not & manufacturer, headman
more to •make the University what it
should be, so far as pecuniary largesses
can contribute to that end, than either of
them, or perhaps all of them put together.
Nor are indications given that in future
the manufacturing class, as a body, will
cease that withholding of more than is
mete, which is tending to poverty, and de•
vise those liberal things whereby they
shall themselves be enabled to stand,
when the day of trial, which cannot be
averted, shall actually arise:
:Public opinion changes: slowly. Only
in rivolutionary epochs, under the most
fiery incentives, is the speed quickened,
so that the process becomes distinctly
observable by any - except each as have
made - the birth and transmutation Of ideas
a Special study. , Let most men consider
how grntbutily these chsnges aro wrought

The late Mr. H. J. RkirllOßD IS reported to
have said that it stook him at least two
years to obtain a full and fair hearing for
any idea for which popular appreciation
had not been previously prepared. He
was fortunate above the majority of
leaders of opinion if he succeeded in ar
restingattention and obtaining compliance
even in that considerable space.
Meanwhile the President of the Uni-
varsity and his co.laborers have been
doing what they could, and have, in fact,
accomplished much, enough:to show them
how rauch more ought o be done, and
\the benefits that would flow from the do.
'ing thereof.
On the other side of the State, at the
confluence of the Leh'...h with the Dela
ware, is situated the t. wn of Easton, the
site of La'Eayette Co ege.• Until within
a quite recent period, .is institution was
without further impo : nce than a strictly
local one. It was; in
a high school than
Dr. C&TTELL, forme
terian church at Har
Presidency of it, an.
been made, with gtea
-its foundation and en
especially in the direction of Technica
Courses. Twenty Professorships are now
establiEled. Dr. CATTELL has been sent
to Europe, where he will remain a year,
examining the best scientific schools, with
the view of emulating at home the best
that has as yet been done abroad, and
giving as much beyond as shall be - 'found
practicable. The moneys which these en
largements of the College will' require,
are expected to be drawn mainly from
one individual, and he not a manufac
turer. Comprehending what is needed
in this country, and having more than an
ordinary share of pecuniary means at his
disposal, he makes a most worthy use of
it. Well is 14 when one of the great
money prizes of life falls into the hands
of a man.who, if not gifted to amass ideas
above his . fellows, knows what all the
higher uses of money are, and has a &-
position to appropriate freely of his own
in those directions. We are right glad to
see La Fayette College thus lift its head
into a statelier position.
Would that some man or men would
enable our Western University to make
the same step forward. It would be of
vast advantage to the industries already
congregated here, and which the future
ought to expand and multiply indefinite
ly, if the Scientific- Department of the
University could be put at once on such
a basis as to extend the proper prelim
inary training to the young men who are
destined either to preside over these in•
dustries or to engage actively— in them.
What we contemplate is not simply that
tie proprietors or managers shall be
duly instructed up to the highestflint,
but that all the workmen shall shar in
the advantages, thus enhancing their pro
ducing power, and, consequenvy their
remuneration. It is inevitable that, other
conditions being equal, the workmen
that are most accurately and thoroughly
instructed, will surpass those that are de
ficient in this particular; and the events
are hastening that will make the profit
ableness, if not the very existence of
manufacturing, on a large scale, in any
spot, turn upon the sufficiency of prepar
atory education.
Then if workmen would relax their
unwise, if not deEipotic rule, and allow
all boys who should fbnish evidence of
proper education and character, to learn
trades.. we should have strong hopes of
the developmentof Isuch power produc
tion here as would defy competition,
come-from whatever • quarter it might.
How skilled workmen can resolutely
and systematically deny most of -their
own -sons the right to 'become such in
turn we cannot. comprehend. What irt
conceivable form of selfishness has seized
upon them thavthey are not merely cOn
tent but eager to• aid In (=thing
down their own flesh and blood to be
common or, Worse,' into the
ranks of the dangerous clieses, that per
petually haunt society like• spectres from,
the itifenial Suiely, it is a crime
against the State to deny the knowledge
of any honorable industry to a boy who
needs It as a means of livelihood and
usefulness. It is , a crime against nature
for a man to deny this knowledge to his
''~"
point of fact, rather
ollege. The Rey.

.We know what motives conspire to ,
this denial, and what reasons are assigned
thereto. None of them can stand any
reasonable test. The denial is a flagrant
wrong, without justification or even ex
cuse. What is demanded by the general
good is the right sort and proper degree
of preltininaty education of every boy,
and then a fair and unhindered field for
him to apply hie knowledge, make a line
and move for, himself, and rear his family
in circumstances of comfort and respecta
bility. Whatever stands opposed to this
is an usurpation and an abuse.
THAT OIL REPORT.
Here is what a proMineat oil firm of
Oil City says of the late report of the
Titusville Herald
We now believe the Herald's report to
be at least 50,000 barrels out of the way..
They have it less in nearly all quarters.
and if the Herald made a proportionate
error in giving the production on upper
Road and other places, then it is from
75,000 to 100,000 barrels wrong, i.. t. too
little. We think it quite probable that
such la the case:on urper road and upper
districts, because parties there are all on

A Radical View of Virginia Politics.
An_ inteligent citizen of Richmond,
who has resided there since April '65,
writes as follows to the Chicago Post:
The s,
contest just closed in this State has
resulted in the election of Gilbert C.
Walker for Governor, the candidate of
the rebel party, and nominees of that
ticket generally, by a majority of from
fifteen to twenty-five thousand. The new
constitution is adopted, with the excep
tion of the disfranchising clause, which
was submitted to a separate vote, and
stricken out. The Legislature is con
servative, or more correctly speaking,
rebel, giving Walker the opportunity,
which he repeatedly said he desired, of
enforcing only such features of the new
constitution as. might _ I be acceptable to
himself and the rebel party.
Oatside of Virginia this contest has
been much misrepresented. - Even the
New York Times lent its powerful influ
ence to the aid of the rebel Walker party,
either knowingly or ignorantly—in either
case wholy inexcusable—and said no
word in the cause of Republicanism,
which is struggling for a foot hold here.
That paper and others held out that it
was a contest between two rival Republi
can candidates, both supporting Gen.
Giant's policy, the Walker party being
the representative of liberal principles
`and opposed to proscription. The re
verse is exactly true.
Walker was nominated by a committee
of the leading rebels of the State, by men
who haye persistently proscribed Union
citizens. White and black; who bitterly
opposed Gen. Grant's election; who
despise and obstruct the policy of Con
gress, and who stand to-day allied to all
the worst features' of rebel rule in the
South. Their watchword was that which
has disgraced the country which they live
in : "A- white man's government;"
"Down with negro equality," and such
other clap trap as finds approval in nca
other country yet blessed with Cilrwza-
don.
The rule of the narty which plunged this
Fate into rebellion is to-day restored, and
this is precisely what the election of Walk
emeans, and nothing else. The cause of
Republicanism (and you should live here
a few years to fully learn, just how much
this means,) the cause of humanity, is de
flated, and the cry is, "Virginia for white
men."
The rebel papers in this city are now
trying the game of making out that the
election is a "Conservative Republican"
triumph, and that it is General Grant's
policy sustained. The chainnan of 'their
committee here, Mr. R. T. Daniels, has
the impertinence to send a dispatch to the
President, congratulating him upon the
success of his policy in this State. This
man Daniels is one of the most malignant
and violent of rebels, and has never lost
an opportunity, since the close of the
war, of showing his hatred of and hos
tility to the. Government of the United
States. He held the office of Common
wealth's Attorney for this city, but was I
removed for his bitterly rebel and parti
san course. He is, however, a good type
of the men who have supported and
eleqed Walker. The guerrilla- Mosby
made a speech from the same stand at
Warrenton, with and for Walker, while
old Juke Early, Lee, Henry A. Wise, and
lall the rest of that ilk, were active sup- -
porters of that ticket.
From the - start there has been much
bickering and jealousy among Republican
politicians In Luis State, and a very mod
erate degree of ability. Lack of thor
ough organization and intelligent effort
has been always apparent. The colored
people themselves must be exempt from
this statement, however, so far as zeal
and earnestness are concerned. They
are exceedingly jealous'' of their right to
vote, and I have no doubt there will ap
pear a very great difference between the
colored vote oat and the same vote .as
registered— a discrepancy that. Gen.Canby
will give close attention. On the other
hand, the organization of the rebel. party
has been thorough, vigilant, active, with
nearly all the ability of the State, the in
fluence and the money to back them, The
rebel sympathy was all for Walker and
against the colored men—and, indeed,
there was all the aristocracy of slavery
and the rebellion in the field—represent
ing nothing that is new or liberal, noth
ing above prejudice, but standing on the
old effete ideas that have ruled here - for
fifty yeals past • The colored men and
the Republican party in this State' are
outnumbered—and henceforth Virginia
lapses into the position of Kentucky—the
political power being fully in the hands
of the rebel party.
Gen. Canby's administration here is
that of a man thoroughly sympathizing
with loyalty and the policy of Congress.
It is statesmanlike, and yet soldierly,
firm, prompt and strong. His decision
that the reconstruction laws require the
members of the Legislature just elected
to take the iron•chid oath, will deprive a
great many rebels of seats in that body.
Congress will undoubtedly stand by his
construction and his enforcement of the
law in this regard, and it rests with that
body to determine whether the work that
has now been accomplished by the rebel
party of this State shall be ratified and
confirmed.
The enthusiasm here is intense. The
whole white population is in the streets
parading and yelling after the fashion
that.we used to be familiar with a few
years ago when we were . engaged in a
little unpleasantness. It is only since the
election that we have heard that old pecu
liar yell, which has been; so long sup.
pressed. Newsboys are running mrough
the streets selling caricatures rep.
resent i ng 4 ,, carpet-baggers and soil
awagis leaving Virginia." ' Colored
men stand in knots In out of the way
places, discussing with anxiety their
probable destiny, as yelling
_crowds of
rebels sweep by, escorting Walker
through the city. The colored man has
great reason to know that all this noise,
this enthusiasm and parade, mean noth
ing good for him. Ho understands per
fectly well that his old .masters are again
triumphant, and, though he may know
liltte else, he knows that they have no
regard for him or his rights, except that
which Uncle Sam's bayonets enfbrce.
The work of reconstruction is not only
not forwarded by this election, bat mast
be greatly retarded, and the people of the
North should understand that fact. Ev
erything connected•with it, from first to
last, sprang from the - .4 impulse which

whole trip in eleven days, a remarkably -
short space of time. It is rumored that•
his hasty appearance here has something
to do with the noted Mcqrarraghan.
Governor-elect Walker of Virginia,
spent nearly two hours with the Presi
dent to-day. Secretaries Fish, Bontwe3i
and Rawlins were present during a greater
portion of the interview. Walker was
very emphatic in his representationa to
the President ofhis intention to gire his
administration a r full and hearty support
in governing Virginia. The President
was very cordial, and answered that he
hoped he would succeed in carrying out
his representations. A failure, he thought,
would be ruinous to the State. Secretary
Rawlins remarked, daring the ixinverss
tion, that he thought Virginia was the
only truly reconstructed State in the
South.
It is understood that twelve prominent
New York capitalists have undertaken to
complete the work begun by the 'State of
Virginia before the war, of building a.
railway from Richmond to Washington
and,to the Ohio river... A party of engi
neers and railroad men has just returned
from an expedition over the route, and
say it is entirely practicable, the distance
and grades being much less than by the
present track lines. Twelve million dol
lars are wanted for the enterprise: Two.
Million have already been raised for it.

calla loudly for some efficient and unmistakable
remedy that will not only in every case give eft-
cleat relief, but In many cam effect a radlea
and thorough cure. These cases of hernia have
become so frequent that it is computed that one
sixth of the male population are raid' to . be
