The PENALTY OF LiEs.--During the pen
dency OF the Presidential question, the Fill
moreitcs and BUCCANEERS in the southern
states We'd with each other in misrepresent-
ing and maligning the Republican party !;
said they wanted to abolish slavery in the
states, steal niggers, foment seryiIe insur-
reeiions, and all that. The positions and
aims OF the Republican party were very
clear. These traducers lied and they knew
1t. Bot cufee heard them. And he believed
them. And he grew insubordinate. Is it
marvellous With human nature as God
made it, could il be helped? And for the
painful transactions which have followed,
who is TO blame? Let those who scattered
lies like autumn leaves, endure the bitter
consequences as best they may.

- Ab.rs ooa the cuReFanto0 4Ont.
Walling, tho editor Of the Timer, and the
paid advocate Of DIR. Eads, has been, for
some weeks, laboriously employed in an at
tempt TO deceive the people in regard to the
Official conduct OF the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, while every one at all
familiar with the facts in the case, knew
perfectly well that there had been gross mis-
management Of the School Fund, and that
there was strong probability of very heavy
loss in consequence. Mailing publishes and
proclaims that everything is right, and de-
flames the character of every one who seeks
TO give information to the people upon the
subject.
few days ago the Times contained the
following editorial endorsement of Eads,
and certified to the people the assurance that
all was we'll.
ssDf. Eads has made his report, submitted
his vouchers, and that they are most con-
elusive exhoneration Of himself from all the
charges made, and a most complete assn
rance to the public that the fund entrusted
to his management, has been used in strict
accordance with the law defining his powers
and duties. And further, that the black
republican House refused to hare the report
published, and 90 before the people 20
In regard to the statement of the refusal
to publish, il is simply false; the report Was
ordered to bepubiished, and that without op-
position, on its presentation.
Now, 80 far as DR.. Eads having exonerat-
ed himself, the Committee appointed to in
vestigate the affairs of his Office, stated to
both branches of the Legislature on Monday
last, that they had progressed SO far with
their investigation as to satisfy them that it
was neither safe or expedient to leave the
financial affairs of the Superintendent de-
partment any longer under his control. They
therefore asked the passage Of a law which
should take all the monies, contracts, mort
cages, and other evidences Of debt out Of
his hands, and prevent any more money be-
ing paid to him on account Of the School
Fund, from any quarter whatever. And .
bill to that effect passed both Houses OF the
Legislature BY a unanimous vote in the space
OF thirty minutes, and became law the
same day.
In view Of such O state of things, what
credit attaches to the hired defender of
kadss What reliance is to be placed in an
editor who is directly interested in the de-
fence of Eads, to the amount of twelve thou
sand dollars, plundered from the fund sacred
