Richmond Dispatch from Richmond, Virginia • 2

Jliclttttflmi jjjjjij THURSDAY APRIL SS. iwrtliero their n-preasnWivw, to ondra-a thr at the moment that the wlato are taxing themselves heavily to pay tho education of colored people, 'lhe neZc pay very little tax. One-fifth of he tax on properly iu this State is appropriated to education by the State, while the counties have authority to levy an additional tax for the same purpose. This city has expended a srroat deal of money in building fine schoolhouses surpassing in elegance and commodiousness any educational building ever be fore erected in the State, save at the l.mversitv and the Military Institute. These fine buildings are divided between white and black, and a large annual appropriation is made to pay the costs of educating the children of both colors, with whom they are crowded.

The blacks have accommodations and opportunities unknown to the best and most distinguished people of former days, and they are treated with a kindness they have never known anywhere north of itginia. How cruel it is? how ungracious? at such a time, with these proofs of the dispositions of the southern whites? their large appropriations in the midst of their poverty to educate negroes that the Congress should endeavor to cram down our throats theii laws about social equality The of the South are endeavoring by education to give the negroes the capability of themselves. The manner in which they improve this opportunity must be the test of their fi.ness for the elevation the law-maker? are endeavoring to establish by force of law. How do they suppose that people can cheerfully taxes for negro education while they are dally threatened with humiliation to a level with the very beings they are endeavoring to lift up to a higher stage of civilization lhit Radicalism has laid its plans for seeming the vote of the colored race, and Radical leaders find it necessary to continue to resort to now means of amusing colored people and binding them to the Radical pavty. These! ideas of social equality serve the purpoMvery well, and hence we see them insistently agitated.

Like all their schemes for making lhe blacks slaves to themselves, these ideas of Radicals only tend to disturb the peace of the nejro and imjuiir the general order and thritt. But one just consequence is that they injure the Radicals. The appropriation of the time of Congress and the money and power of the Government to tliis party speculation in negroes is all the time alienating the great sovereign jmwer of the white people of the United States from the party in power and its policies. The devotion to the idea that the negro is their salvation, will in gieat degree he the death of the Radicals. Their true policy was the paciiicatiou of the whites by just government for white and black, and the restoration of political equality to the States.

But they have, like the poor, deluded dog in the fable, cast away the solid wealth which they had In their hands, and gone after the shadow? the great black shadow? tliat led them ofl" into quicksands and African bogs and jungles, out of which they will never come. If Congress passes its supplementary civil rights bill, ami forces whites and blacks indiscriminately into the same schools, it will abolish the whole school system in every southern Stale except where negroes hold the power. Then let Congress take the States under its control and abolish the State Governments. It will be then time for that. Better that this should come than that the whites should submit to the destruction of personal freedom and social conventionalism in life, which are indispensable to the preservation in life of the order and decency ot society and of virtue itself.

It is well that Congress should understand this. It can do many things, but it cannot trample the spirit of the white man into the dust. It may lorce the squirrel and the rattlesnake, the and the rabbit, the wolf aud the kid, to live in peace and harmony, but it never can force social equality between distinct races of men. Can't be Done." In the language of the day concerning great undertakings it often occurs that ''can't be doue" winds up the vehement opposition of a dogmatical debater. Now, there should be "no such word" amongst enterprising and stout-hear ted people.

They can do anything that may be deemed desirable and im- 1 portant to the public advantage and welfare. The words "can't he done" are the text those who have not the energy, and cannot conceive that anybody else has to achieve even light undertakings. They are as poorly supplied with energy as was the man with jmwical abilities, who declared that if he had hand-organ set to Old Hundred he did not Xhiuk it possible that he could jret more than seventy-five out of it There Is a great deal of the "can't be done" in Richmond, while there is a great deal to do. It is very evident that there must be here, and that very soon, the necessity for improvements consistent with the commerce and wants of a growing and nourishing community. Some of these improvements must initiate the growth that we anticipate, So paliiably practical and important are they that they will force themselves onward to completion.

Others will Assuredly come with time and increased means and energy. An enterprising community, as we say, cau do anything, and a pros. 1 perous aud flourishing city will not permit obstacles to public convenience and course to exist. There is a great change going on in this community at this time. There is a new spirit of enterprise springing up; and the administration ol affairs, public and private, is rapidly being shared with the representatives of that school of young men in whose lexicon there is no such word as fail." We liave here tho loveliest site for a city iu the Uniou.

If it be beautiful, it is uo rich in solid elements of wealth and power. There can be no mistake iu calculating largely upon its future aud planning for its anticl- pa ted prosperity. It will force it-self upward but it may be made to flourish with for more rapidity by boldness and energy in the measures that people elsewhere employ to build up cities. The policy of expansion, grading, beautifyiug, aud advertising is a hundred ways, built up i with wonderful Rapidity. Richmond feat fcifaUely btiter resources than cities that by dint of these measures of a spfm4 tnerKHit population been made to I Itf? in few decades.

If Awr tho potable examples jWfcfltaaV both liope aud Mnif'ftbouJ a fikt! faUttm Of the Uswd (4 man i fifl?

Journal hM cn Hnl tliat Congress bad forced thtatmconstitutional provision of our State organic law upon and therefore wo were bound maintain it. The Supreme Court of the United has answered all tbew; repudiating arguments. In the ease of White vs. Hart et from Georgia, that august tribunal on Monday squelched them all.

The Supreme Court of Georgia in deciding the case had laid dewn the following propositions: First. That tho Constitution of 1S0S was adopted Georgia not a tatc in the Union: that she had surrendered her connect ion ax such, and was a conquered teniton' wholly at the mercy of the conqueror that hence the inhibition of the tates the Constitution of the United to pas. auy law impairing the obligation of contracts IfflH 110 application to her. Second. That her Constitution not affect the contract, but only denies jurisdiction to her courts to enforce it.

Third. That her Constitnlionwasadopted under the dictation and coercion of Congress, the act of Congress rather than ot the State, and that, though a Suite cannot pas i a hw impairing the validity of contracts, and that for this reason also the Inhibition in the Federal Constitution has no effect in the case. These are plain and genera applicable to all such cases. 1 Supreme Court of the United States brushes them away as follows: The subject presented by the first proposition lifts been considered incidentally several times by this court, and its former decisions in reject of it, need only be reAthim? The National Constitution creiited not i-onfederacv of States Ixit a government of individuals, 'it assumed that the Government, and the Union which it. created, and the States which were incorporated into the Union, would be indestructible; and las rui as human means could accomplish suv' work, it intended to make them so.

1 he Government of the nation and of the State each are alike independent and absolutt ill their respective spheres of action, but the former as much a part of a government oi the people of each State, and as much entito their allegiauce and obedience as thenown local State Governments, the aua laws ot the United States made in pursuance thereof being, in all eases where thev a wplv, the supreme lawot the land. Ihe il '('trine ol" sccessiiiu is the doctrine ot treason practical secession is practical treason, seekiii" to give itself triumph by violence. The late rebellion was without iinv element of right or sanction of law, and the duration of the war did not change its character. The States in rebellion were never out of the Union, and never absolved from the duties, liabilities and restrictions, always incumbent upon them. On the second point the court says that without the remedy the contract may not to exist.

The ideas of validity and remedy are inseparable, and are both parts of the obligation which is guaranteed by the Constitution against invasion. Hence the deni il Ihe remedy by the State was not valid, bei-ausp it annihilated the contract. The third proposition is said to be clearly unsound. Congress authorized the Shite to frame a new Constitution, and elected to proceed within the scope of the authority conferred, The result was submitted to Congress as a voluntary and valid offering, and was so received and recognized in the subsequent action of that body. The State is estopped to assail it upon such an assumption.

I pon the same grounds she might deny the validity of her ratification of the constitutional amendments. The action of Congress upon the subject cannot be inquired into. The ease is clearly one in which Ihe Judiciary is bound to follow the action of the political department of the Government, aiul is concluded by it. It is added that If C'ongiess had expressly dictated and expressly approved the proviso in question, such dictation and approval would have been without effect. Congress has no power to supersede the Constitution of the United States.

Newspaper Remedies. "We seldom put them into our columns. Hardly one out of a hundred is worth anything. Keeipes for making good dishes, good bread, good pickles, and good preserves, are generally valuable and highly in? ten-sting to the better part of mankind. Occasionally a simple prescription for minor ailments, and often suggestions of ingenious modes of preparing and applying remedies, appear in the papers, that are worthy of careful preservation.

But when you come to serious maladies as old as mankind, trust not your newspaper remedies the more especially in diseases considered incurable such as cancer, hydrophobia, etc. Trust them not. They have been the cause of a great deal of suffering, and very little good has ever been accomplished by following them. There yesterday appeared in the Dispatch a remedy for hydrophobia, by a Mr. Siiokm akkk, of Montgomery county, Penn.

This remedy is elecampane root and Mr. SnoEmakek avers that it has been known for thirty years in his bail wick and about Philadelphia. We think Mr. Suoeuakek would better stick to his Pennsylvania is a wellknown State, and Philadelphia is by no means a light hid under a bushel. People without number travel through Pennsylvania and visit Philadelphia.

The newspapers flourish in Philadelphia, and in that city are two of the famous lhedieal colleges in the United States, and yet this elecampane remedy has not found its.way into those colleges, nor has it travelled to any great distance from the places where it is alleged to he well known. People have died every month from the most painful and distressing malady which it is said to cure with unerring certainly? and we never heard that any body had been cured by elecampane before now. Some short time since a cure of rabies was reported to have been effected in or near Chicago by the administration of a powerful sedative beneath the skin. But siuce the publication ol this remedy there have bepn a dozen dentin from this dreadful disease announced in the papers. Surely the doctors would be eager "to seize upon auy specific remedy for a suffering that by sympathy intensely distresses those who look upon the hopeless patient.

Good remedies rarely float around loosely through the papers. People should receive these with great caution. We never publish remedies for serious afflictions but with great distrust, and when we do we warn the reader not to trust them on our account.

The theory not very plau.siljleluis gained some circulation here to the effect that should the Cincinnati Convention, Inch it is admitted by all jiarties will be coiaposed of elements of very great strpngth tlaoughout the country, nominate a ticket lor 1 1 widpnt and Vice-President which in the of the managers of the Philadelphia Convention cannot he beaten by Grant, that then the Philadelphia meeting will nominate Grant, who will formally decline on the ground of a desire to harmonize the Pepubfieau factions, and recommend that the 1 lnladelphin Convention endorse the nomination made at Cincinnati, and thereby preserve the party organization, may he considered the wildest ol all the ild speculations which have flouted on the current of political but having gained some character by its discission, it cannot be undeserving of mention. Grant i.s a very silent man, and keeps his motives altogether to himself in very rcspet ts but the- scheme alluded to here is said to meet the approval of several of LLi friends, in and out of Congress, and Is spoken of as a shrewd move on his part to escape the disgrace of an overwhelming defeat. a movement could only be accounted for by the rule that desperate diseases call for desperate remedies, and even if it is to occur it would hardlv happen without full consultation before 'the meeting of the Cincinnati Convention, so that a mutual understandinf would be had between those who would originate such a bargaiii-and-salo proposition. A circumstance which impels disn'edjt upoi) the delightful theory alluded to is the fact that with Grant out of the field a war immediately commences as to who shall be the favored man. The Senate is full of aspiuuts, and the sections would present their available statesmen in prompt array to the Convention.

The time to do that is extremely short so that if the leaders of the Cincinnati movement have not already been advised of the reported intended immolation of Grant, there will bp uq chance of success, as one might he nominated who would not be acceptable to Morton, Conkling and thus nip the whole scheme in the opening of the bud. publish the foregoing as mere wild speculation. We should not have deemed it worthy of a place if it had not come from our own It is understood from a trustworthy source that the tenor of the correspondence which has passed between Secretary Fish and Karl Granville has not been of a character to preclude the possibility of this Government withdrawing its claim for consequential damages. The various notes from Mr. Fish to Earl Granville have been mere- 1 lv argumentive.

This Government never informed Great Britain that it would not for any consideration modify its case or recede from it as originally nor has a point been reached here sueii a contingency becomes a necessity. the case now stands, this Government can modify its case to the expulsion of the consequential-damage claim without compromising its dignity in the least, as the correspondence, when published, will fully prove. When the President shall become fully satisfied that public opinion in this count ry is against the claim there is no doubt that it will be withdrawn. Timos. Speculations as to due Cincinnati Convention.

A "Washington correspondent of the York Herald speculates as follows TllE lav of the land. It looks very much at this writing as if Trumbull would gobble up the strength of Adams and Gratz Brown, and leave the Greeley element to make choice between Davis and Trumbull. The tight for the nomination, as it is a very pretty match between these two, Trumbull coming in rather late, but supported by energetic and buoyant friends. Tint EE NEW ENGLAND STATES DAVTS. The managers of Judge Davis's campaign assume that the delegations from Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Islaud, at Cincinnati, will be largely in his favor, having been placed more than one month ago in each of these States to" take charge of his interests.

Senator Spragne, taking his cue from the Democratic party, announces himself as preferring Davis to anybody else but Chase, and it is mooted that Spmgue is ready to put bis name to a paper for Davis. MASSACHUSETTS FOR ADAMS. Massachusetts and Connecticut will presumedly declare for Charles Francis Adams, who will probably get a small portion of the New York delegation and the majority of the Ohio folks, the Cincinnati Commercial having been tooting in his interest for the past three weeks, apparently with the object of creating a diversion and 'playing fast and loose with the movement. Sain Bowles, of Springfield, Edward Atkinson, David A. Wells, and two or three more, want Adams in case the contest between Trumbull and Davis should become animated, when they can throw in Adams as a compromise candidate and bring the Trumbull strength over to Connecticut folks regard Trumbull as a Connecticut man, and he will get some votes there.

The larger part of the NEW YORK DELEGATION WILL BE IN FAVOR OF HORACE OREFLEY, and the well-kuown enterprise of New York politicians will probably be instanced by a big train to Cincinnati, with fireworks and guns booming for Greeley at every station on the road. If Greeley finds that he has no chance he will probably make the best terms he can between Trumbull and Davis, preferring Davis as a Wing and Trumbull as a statesman. CURTIN's PROBABILITIES. Pennsylvania expects the second place on the ticket for Andrew G. Curtin, whose interests in this country have becu committed to Alexander K.

McClure ever since Curtin retired into voluntary exile at St. Petersburgh. McClure lias some faint hope of trotting out Curtin's name for the first place ou the ticket, and if he eanuot get it there will hold him ready for the Vice-Presidency, for which at present there appears to be very little competition. Greeley's Whig friends, who prefer Davis for the first place, will endeavor to get Greeley to consent to place his own name at the tail. As the affair stands at present, it looks as if Curtin would walk over the track for the Vice-Presidency, and the Democrats generally favor his nomination, many of them preferring him to Parker, whom soke call "superannuated, and a granny." Henry D.

Foster, who ran against Curtin for Governor of iu 1SG0, and was beaten by Curtin, now comes forward and says that Andy ought to goon the ticket, and that the Pennsylvania Republicans can get enough Democrats to elect him easily. As Pennsylvania is one of the three States holding elections in few weeks before the presidential election comes off? it is deemed by many Liberals advisable, to put on a Pennsylvania man who will have some ehauce of carrying, his oiyn State, and thus creating a superstition in advance of the presidential election, TP? STATE IN OCTOBER. This same argument is wed in Davis's favor, because an flection will heboid In October in tlie Indiana, where Davis has long held a circuit couit, and is personally known aud popqiAr lawyers aud people from La Porte to Evansvllle. None of these arguments wotJJfl seem to apply to the Ohio election in unless it cap be shown that Davis has some strength and tradition in that State. Tint TWO VIRGINIAS FOR DAVIS.

Both Virginia apd West Virginia have been counted for the former state taking its Demaawifl and find thft Hitter ivom wftmiNanaa put there by BftvU'n fMends a month ago. Tnii BLAlh AND WARD PARTV IN MICMOAV. "Dock" Thompson, of Grand Rapids, lias running Davis's Intcnst In that Statn for some tiinp, and Austin Blair, liber Ward, and others who will go to Cincinnati, prefer Davis to any mail named, Greeley excepted. The whole auUrC'handler wing of the party in Michigan is up in anus; for Chandler and Ferry have sworn to crush Jihur out, and it is a struggle with hiui for existence. TITK Kit DELEGATION AT CINCINNATI.

"Wisconsin, where there a large German vote, will probably go for Trumbull; and, indeed, the German vote in Missouri, Illinois, and elsewhere, wiil be thrown solidly in Trumbull's favor, if Carl Schurz, Koener, and Ueeker can wield it. Schurz himself pes to Cincinnati committed to Trumbull. The latter astute, gold-spectacled gentleman will stay in his lodgings at Washington city.snu fling the battle from afar, while Schurz pitches in. MINNESOTA FOR DAVIS. Minnesota will send a large Davis -legation to Cincinnati, led by Fitz Henry Warren, formerly Minister to one of the Central American republics.

IOWA 'ON TUR FENCE. William B.Allison and the majority of the Iowa men in Congress look yearningly and yet nervously towahl the new movement; for in that strong liepublican wise politicians are slow to leave the regular organization. Iowa, however, will send a delegation to Cincinnati, probably for Trumbull and possibly for Daws. Among the Iowa men put down delegates is one Hawkins Taylor, oi Washing ion, heretofore presumed to be a townsman and crony of Secretary Belkuap. MISSOURI AND KANSAS TOli BK0WX.

Missouri will vote 011 the lirst ballot for Gratz Brown, and so will Kansas. William M. Grosvenor. chairman of the Brown Liberal Republican Executive Committee, has for several months conducted a large and exhaustive correspondence with all parts of the country in Brown's interest, and it remains to be seen what effect this will have. After the lirst hr.ilot.

it is presumed that the vote of Kansas will biv.tk up and seek out the strongest man. Missouri will hold ou tor another ballot or two to Brown if heshows any great 011 the lirst trial. Ni-iiRASEA CALIFORNIA. under in? influence of Senator Tipton, will comeupior Trumbull. California is claimed both for Davis and Brown.

THE REBEL STATES. The southern states, Louisiana excepted, aie generally thought to be for Davis, as the liberal movement there is, in fact, directed bv the former scalawag element of the Republican party, or what are now called Liberal' Republicans, and a mild tyjie of Democrats. The carpet-baggers and scalawags all over the south have had a falling out, as in North Carolina, and the scalawags that the carpet-baggers ride 011 their necks and make the Union side unpopular. Wherever the carpet-baggers have got the bulk of the otlices the scalawags will endeavor to get into the Liberal Convention. South Carolina will probably not he represented at Cincinnati, as her enormously preponderating negro vote makes it impossible to expect that she will Mipport anybody but the Philadelphia nominee.

aukansas err r. It is alleged in Washington eity that Senator Pice, of Arkansas, will be Cincinnati, it hi in person or by proxy, as he in not having his opponent, Senator Clayton, brought up for alleged misdemeanors committed at home and expelled. Clayton has had enough skilftilness either at i he While House or among his fellow-senators to stave oil' any investigation into his status. Yt'cc ct'jvu, if Bice should get any partiality from the Administration Clayton will probably thn-ateu to appear at Cincinnati. TIIK sot Til FOR DAVIS.

The Davis men boast that they will get the vote of the whole South, with the exception of a few straggling ballots given for Horace Greeley. They say they do not want the vote of Louisiana, MARYLAND FOR THE EASTERN SHORE MAN. Maryland will go for Davis, as it is his native Slate, ami the Democrats tiiere are verv thoroughly roused up in his interest. Tom Swann, wIjo was one of the capitalists and prompters of the Washington Patriot newspaper? Davis's particular organ? is an outand-out Davis man. So is Governor Bradford, of Maryland.

WHERE DAVIS WIN (JED TRL'ilUl LL. When the Labor Iteforin Convention was about to meet at that small but since proved to be portentous nomination was offered to Judge Trumbull he was then in his cautious mood and declined it in advance. The leading 1 sucli a- General Morgan? then told the labor folks to nominate Davis, and he would be bold enough to accept instantly. We all know that Davis did, without hesitation, take the offer in his grip with the emphatic sentence that "No man could afford either to seek or decline the DAVIS SUPPORTED BY TIJE ABE LINCOLN' COTERIE. Davis has another immense advantage in the personal support of nearly all of Abraham Lincoln's old coterie of coterie which looked askant at Trumbull.

There, for example, is Leonard Swett, the famous Chicago lawyer; William II. llerndon, Lincoln's junior partner at Springfield, and Ward IJ. Latnon, Lincoln's old marshal, all heartily committed to Davis, and bound to come to Cincinnati and raise for him there that same wild yell with which Illinois scarced the heart out of New York at Chicago in 1SG0 and put Old Abe at the head of the party. Lamou has just finished his biy book "The Life of Lincoln," written from Lincoln's private papers, Herndon's recollections, and a multifarious correspondence between the late President and his factotums. Emerging from his retirement in West Virginia, Lamon will put on his armor, go to Cincinnati, and endeavor to make another man out of the old Lincoln set Chief Magistrate.

WHAT IF DAVIS BE NOMINATED. If Davis 1k? nominated the probabilities are that he will throw aside gown, stalkout in his portly person before the people, and show himself. He reallv the ablest popular leader 011 the Liberal side, not excepting Gratz Brown. Oil' for Cincinnati. There Is a prospect for quite a hegira of correspondents from this city to Cincinnati, drawn thither by the Liberal Republican Convention which meets there next week.

George Alfred Townsend has already gone for the New York Herald Ramsdellfor the Tribune goes to-night, and they will be followed by Poore of the Boston Journal, Hinton of he Boston Globe, und Macfarland of the Philadelphia Pres s. It is likely that several others will go whose arrangements are not yet perfected. Washington Slab. Farnsnorth vs. ltntler.

Washington, April The old feud between Famsworth and Butler has again broken out, and this morning Farusworth appeared before the House Military Committee to protest against any further continuance of Butler in the position of treasurer of the National Soldiers' and Sailors' Asylum.
