WASIIINCJTO jLU'lTER. Washington, D. C.,1 Kov.2, 1877. J The Senatorial lie Mblicap caucus Leld oo Saturday uiiFB seemed to re Bult only in on agree Hnt not to agree as to the policy of tlie 'Administration in making appointments. It is said on as good authority as any that each Re publican Senator will make objeotion to the confirmation of such appointees as be chooses, but that thero was no agree ment among Senators to support each other. From this it would seem that all of them rocognize the necessity for interfering with some of the notioos of Mr. Hayes, but that a majority are ei ther afraid to make an open quarrel, or wish to postpone it. While this uncertainly exists as to confirming appointments; there is no less coufusion and wavering es to an acreeuieat oo the other distinguished features of Mr. Hayes' course the Southern policy. There M?y not be an open rupture an either subject at pres ent, as the caucus seems to have shown a disposition ou the part of a major, v of the Senators to give Hayes a ohp.nce to come back .to his jwvey p.llegiance. The irreconciluhles are understood to jave been very few. , There is a clear u.'i jorily of Senators in favor or the bill which passed the House remonctizing silver, lut it is now evident that final action will be postponed uutil the regular session. This means until Jauunry, i i least, as the holiday adjournment will come early this year. Looking astlio work Congress came here in Extra Sestion to do. and at what progress it has mnde. one is inclined to doubt the policy of holding extra sessious. What has been done in the labt few days seems to indicate that.oo increase of the rimy beyond 20.000 will be al lowed, aad tiip. fb lie present ibe force wt I not oo reduced below .hat Djmber.

Texas IuhV purchased fourteen huu dred acres of land near Austin aa the site of a state 'university for colored youth. ' This rather oontradiots the in dustriously-oiroulated Republican idea thai the Soulbcro whites are unwilling to give the blacks suitable advantages oi educatiou. The whites are sensible enough to know that ignoraooe ia the most dangerous dementia any com munity, and thai as the colored people are urooug them, and likely to remain with them, public safety, if no higher consideration,' demands that the proper facilities for the acquisition of knowl edge he provided. ' ( Wo should have been bettor pleased, however, to have had a thoroughly good, common school than the pro posed university. The country seems to lave run mad in regard to what is called "higher ed ucation." Now high er education, even when all that the name implies, is a useless, luxury for the great mass of mankind, while low er education is an imperative necessity. With the fundamental branches firmly fixed the student) can easily rise to tho more ornamental,' if he chooses; and it he does not choose he has enough to carry hira through the world respecta bly. A vast araonn t of time end mon ey is wasted in trying to give a univer sity culture to those who do not appre ciate it or are incapable of receiving it. Probably in all Texns there are not a hundred colored youths who have the desire or ability to go through a uuiversity course creditably; whereas there are probably in all Texas not a hundred who lmvo not tho desire and the: ability to master a com Jion sohoc course. It the state authorities are wise they will abandon the university project r od secure the common-school Sc. Louis Republican.

We must learn to make large crops with less labor. To do this, we must go over less ground, and make science and praotioal skill properly supplement muscle and maohinery. Dr. Jaques. Hon R. C. Winthrop, in his address to the Trustees of the Peabody Eduoa, tional Fund, in accounting for dispo. sition made of the revenue, said: " 1 You will learn from that report which I have beea privileged to see ia tdvanee, that, while rigidly adhering to our original policy of not encroaching on the principal sum intrusted to us, we have been able during this period to appropriate from our income little less than a million of dollars toward the en couragement and support of education in the various States to which our work was limited by . Mr. Peabody, And as almost s II our contributions have been conditioned on the appropri ation of much larger sums by those who have bcea aided, it would be safe to say that the action of this board has ovolved an ercndilureof at least ten millioca of do' lavs in the cause of Souevn cduocv'oo during the past ten yea-3.
