have never heard Democrats complain
of this one-sided distribution OF school pat
reT age; | suppose they care very little
about it. They seem to rejoice In the
strength Of their own strong arms for their
support. But really it does seem that since
the AbOltioni>ts hold every Office and place
in the gift of the Federal and State Gov
ernments, from the highest to the lowest,
that they would not adhere, for themselves
and their friends, with such death grasp
to the smallest crumb of common school
patronage. But as the duties are light and
the pay good, better, perhaps, than they can
hope In any other business, we will not tall
out with them about this little matter; per-
haps the Democrats who for the most part
are able-bodied and well to do, had better
relinquish in the future, as they have for
the most part In the past, all claim to place
and patronage, all part and lot in these
schools, except always to contribute to their
full share, in the way of taxes and other
assessments. One thing, however, should
be demanded and insisted upon, that here
after Negro politics, Puritanic creed and
Miscegenation literature be forever kept
out.

Mammoth shoe store.

Attention Is called to the advertisement
of Dunford & Co., in another column. They
have received, and are daily receiving, the
latest and most approved styles of all kinds
and varieties of boots, shoes, and the best
selection of ladies' wear in the city. All
they ask is, that the ladies and gentlemen of
the city of Columbus call upon them and
examine their stock and prices before pur-
chasing elsewhere.
They have established reputation for
honest and upright dealing at their old
stand, No. 276 South High street, and they
are determined to maintain their standing
with the public. This is the place where
the pedal extremities of humanity can be
fashionably and neatly clothed. Call and

The Journals ement-General
WiIcOX's Opinion.

The Morning Journal of May IL, speaking
of the opinion of Gen. Wilcox on the cleo
tion of Presidentof the City Council, says
1t was given "dfter the election of Demo
cratic President of the Council six years
ago-the said President having been elected
by his own vote" This statement the
Journal has, in substance, repeated several
times. 1t is false in toto. No Democrat
was elected President of the Council in the
spring of 1860, when the opinion of Gen.
Wilcox was given. Mr.. Donaldson was
elected President, and Mr.. Comstock was
chosen President pro tenn.
Both these gentlemen were elected by
majority vote of all the members of the
Council. After their election, some dis
cussion having previously arisen as to
whether such vote was necessary to the
choice of a President, resolution was, on
motion of Mr.. Buttles, adopted, referring
the question to the City Solicitor. Gen.
Wilcox reported his opinion in response to
that resolution. 1t was given as mere
matter of speculation, and not upon an ex-
isting case. 1t consequently involved no
responsibility. It had no effect in any way
upon the action of the Council, to whom it
was presented, and was designed to have
none. a ts.

The New Cars on tho G. @. & C. Road. .

The New Cars on the C' u. ~ u hOnu.
By invitation OF James Patterson, ESQ.,
Agent of the Cleveland, Columbus & Gin
cinnati Railroad, party from this city,
consisting of Messrs. John Miller, of the
firm of Miller & Donaldson; G. A. Hill,
Agent of the G. & |. Central Railroad; 4.
Ganson and ii. Farmer, Conductors on the
J.. NJ. & G. & Y. r. r.; Henry Shinn, OF the
latter Road; and representatives OF The
STATESMAN, Journal and Gazette, enjoyed
pleasant excursion yesterday to Cardington
and back. Taking the Express train at
1920 A. NJ, &C. Gale Conductor, the party
were soon at Cardington, and there met the
Express train from Cleveland, due here at
l:l5 p. NJ, VIM. Blee, Conductor, on which
they returned to the city.
The party at Cardington was augmented
by the addition OF the following gentlemen
from Cleyeland: Messrs. VIM. f. Smith,
master-machinst of the shops of the G. G.
sc. r. r. in that city; VIM. Cleave, foreman
of the car shops, and Robert Blee, train
master on the road.
The Express train from Cleveland was
composed of four new passenger cars and
the baggage and Express cars, recently
manufactured at the COmpanys shops in
that city. The cars run through to Cincin-
NATL and will, on the return trip to Cleve-
land, be at the depot in this city at 10 A. NJ.
to-day, when gentlemen can have an op-
portunity of examining splendid train of
cars, superior in many respects to any they
have ever seen.
The cars are manufactured of the most
durable material, and present on the outside
and interior bright and polished appear
ance. The passenger cars cost on an average
$4,000 each, and each will seat 6S persons.
The arrangements for light and ventilation
are excellent. The springs ON which the
cars are set, are SO light and elastic as to
render riding, even on a rough road, as
pleasurable as though one we're sitting in
an easy chair. The veneerlng of black
walnut, with its fine polish, adds much to
the beauty OF the interior, and resembles a
series OF mirrors.
We noticed in these cars new kind Of
window fastener and holder, by which the
windows can be raised and held at any de-
sired heighth. There are to each car three
lamps-one at each end and one in the GEN.
ter. These lamps are lighted, not with oil,
by which cars, from the breakage of lamps,
are sometimes set on fire, but by large can
dies moved upward as they burn, by means
of springs. One of the new features in
these cars must not be omitted, and that is
the saloons in the middle, contributing to
ornament and convenience. The ventila-
tors in the roof are neat and are covered
with thin wire gauze, protecting the in
terror from dust and smoke. The aisles
through the cars are some inches wider
than usual-a very decided improvement.
The general design and finish, the cabinet
work and upholstery, the painting and other
work on these cars, reflect the highest credit
on the master mechanics and workmen en-
gagged upon them, as well as upon the Com
pany by whom these splendid coaches have
been placed upon their road.
