School r.,nas---Explanat;on.

In an article last week, headed g the School
Lands" we stated that 1--WE find an individual
of this city the record as the purchaser of thir
ty-four thousand seven hundred and one acres.''
We also stated that 50 two men of this city hold
forty-three thousand two hundred and seven
acres We copied this from the record which
shows, under the head of lands sold upon which
none OF the purchase money was paid the an cunt
flrst mentioned charged to one individual, and
$500 acres charged to another, making the total
as we stated. 1t is said however, that in stating
that these individuals hold that amount of land,
false idea is conveyed. tits true it is so char
ged against them on the books, but it is not true
that they hold it, because it was only entered in
their names, they being the purchasers or agents
for others besides themselves. This is no doubt
so, and 1t is an explanation which would be inn
portant, had we been making any war upon or
finding any fault with, these individuals. We
do not blame them for holding ten or ten thou
sand acres if they choose, nor is it any thing to
their discredit if Barstow and all the balance,
and the rest of mankind are partners in their
purchases. We do not even claim that there
was any thing illegal in the conduct of the COM
missioners in selling or offering the lands, and
consequently that any blame or suspicion of
wrong attaches to them or any other purchasers,
and we mentioned no names Of purchasers be-
cause 1t was not them with whom we were deal
ing or with whom we were concerned. 1t was
the abuse of the discretion entrusted to the Gov
ernor and the Commissioners of which we com
planned and which we denounced They had a
tega! right to sell the lands when they pleased
they also had discretion to withhold them until
the best interest of the school fund justified their
| sale. Our claim is that they abused this discre-
! ton for their own private benefit, and we allu-
ded to the purchases made here for no other pur-
pose than to show the results of this abuse OF
discretion. 1t is of little concern to the public
whether one Spectator or twenty receives the
hundred and fifty thousand dollars advance on
the land-the complaint is not there. 1t is that
the Commissioners by the abuse of the confidence
| entrusted to them have robbed the school fund to
that amount. We do hope these gentlemen who
are the fortunate friends of the party in power
! ard the recipients Of this land, will not under
stand us as having or seeking any quarrel with
them, or that we esteem them even subjects OF
censure They happen to occupy position
where they become fit objects to ''pont moral
! and adorn tale" and to this use, and nothing
worse do we ask the privilege of putting them.

The result i'll Ohio.

The winter Of our discomfort caused by the first
news from Ohio, was made glorious summer by
the subsequent authentic figures, and all the
clouds that lowered upon cause here, were
dissipated to return no more forever. Ohio is
the only state in which a republican party was
fairly organized, i'll whose election this fall, the
national issues predominated over those of To-
cal nature In Maine local issues OVERRIDE the
national one in Pennsylvania such was also the
case, with the additional fact that no officers of
any great Importance Were chosen; in Indiana,
only county officers were chosen but in Ohio,
as we remarked. the situation of things was such
as to give the national issues the prominence in
the struggle. The result is before us. Demo-
Gratis and know-Nothings are alike overwhelmed,
and the party Of national freedom has attained
an unqualified and unequalled victory. Is any
person so stupid as not TO see that such will be
the case in erery northern state, under the same
circumstances Let any man rack his imag;na-
ton with scarehings unutterablc and tell us,
when the plain question is presented, Pierce OF
no Pierce, Atchison or no Atchison," what pos
sible motive can lead or cause 4 single northern
state to vote in the affirmative. Ohio shows us
the drift and it can he depended on.
The contest in Wisconsin is similar to that OF
Ohio, and the result will be the same We have
felt from the start that the result in Ohio would
he prophetic of that in Wisconsin, and when the
first news came of the election of Mcdill, we felt
to despair of success here at present. And SO
when came the subsequent returns announcing
Chase'S triumphant success, it assured us that
we could look confidently for similar result
here. To insure MS majority Of ten Thousand
votes it is only necessary that the voters of tn,
rural districts should turn out TO the polls, as il

Change Wanted.

The Milwaukee Sentinel learns that the pro-
portion of this years state tax assessed to Mil
waukee county is $50 ,653- Under the last year
of Farwelrs administration it was $4,000, or
less than one half the present amount. Official
notification of the amount Kenosha county is ex-
pected to contribute to keep the wheels of GO
vernment sufficiently oiled the coming year, had
net been received at the time we penned this ar
ticle, but of course it will exhibit the pro-
portionate increase over former years that Mil
waukee county does. The state until last year
has been in its legislative department completely
under the control Of the present party in power
and the expenses of state government have in
creased from year toyear with steady and indeed
frightful rapidity. An increase of state expen-
ses as the state grows might naturally be cxpec-
ted, but do think the increase is out of all pro-
portion to the growth of the state and if contin-
ued long in the same ratio will involve general
bankruptcy. The state is now some eight years
old, and the state tax this year Is three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, and that generally
conceded not enough by fifty thousand dollars to
meet existing necessities go that we really re-
quire four hundred thousand dollars And what
is the necessity for this expense! We have fig
ured a little on the necessary expenses of state
government, and find eighty thousand dollars
liberal annual allowance. Yet with more than
this amount raised each year in previous years,
we find ourselves now wanting over four hundred
thousand dollars to meet present necessities. We
are quite willing to admit that there many
expenses required in getting up and sustaining
the necessary state Institutions, bat nothing of
that kind yet done by this state begins to account
for the money used and required The truth is
immense amounts are quandered-rccklessly
squandered. We call attention to few small
items for which VIC happen TO have the figures
before us, i'll the account of the legislature of "a,
in which the democracy had unlimited sway COM
pared with that of '55, when republican influen-
ccs were in the ascendant. AS follows:
