EIection az Homo.

As regards the township elections in this
county, our returns are too meagre to justi-
fly us in forming any definite idea of what
the result will be in the county when the
entire vote of the townships is known
Our friends in the different townships have
been very derelict In forwarding us the re-
turns. So far as heard from, however,
they show, all things considered, decided
Democratic gain over the last October cleo
tion. In Cambridge township the whole
number of votes cast was 420, nearly two
hundred voters OF the township not being
at the polls. Eliza NJ. Scott, Democrat,
and candidate on the soldiers ticket for the
cffice Of Trustee, was elected by IS of ma
jority. The balance of the Abolition ticket
was elected by small majorities, ranging
from fifty to one hundred votes-showing
Democratic gain over the last election of
from seventy TO one hundred and twenty.

educate the masses-they must be kept in
Ignorance TO be held by their leaders. A
Democratic candidate Is nominated In the
Eighth Ward who has no sympathy with
our school system, and II he had a score of
children he would not send one of them to
our public schools. Some Democrats now
In the Board are gentlemen, and ignore pol
itics In connection with our schools, and
such men with those nominated the people
should elect, as they are patrons of our pub
lie schools, and want their children well
cared for. Union men and all good citizens
should look to this matter at the polls on
Monday next. G.
A more gross libel and utter perversion
of truth was never published within the
same space. 1t is not true that 'the De-
mocrcy have made the Board of Education
apolitical machine" On the contrary, it
is notorious that the action of the Democ-
racy has been to prevent clique of fanati-
cal Abolition agitators from making the
Board political machine, and corrupting
the schools with their nauseous political
dogmas. 3,i. r. fs. 81.
| It Is not true that any teacher, male or
female, has ever been discharged because
they were not Democrats. Neither has the
political test ever been made in the en-
ployment of teachers. In all the instances
mentioned of the discharge of teachers in
the. above article, the Board acted upon
the best of reasons, and the question of
politics was not involved. 1t is fact that,
notwithstanding the Democracy have gem
orally had majority in the Board for some
years, yet during all that time, as at pres
ent,a majority of the teachers are Repub-
licans. Does this look like prescription
for opinions sake?
The election to- day is important, and if
the people desire to keep politics out of the
schools they should elect the Democratic
candidates. 1t is said that the Democratic
candidate in the Eighth Ward has no
children, yet the gentleman elected by the
Republicans in the Second Ward two years
since, was in the same category. Ofcourse,
&C" thought that was all right. 1t makes
a wonderful difference with some gentle
men whose OK is gored. X.

'The iEsIectIon To-day.

The Democrats of the SECOND, FOURTH,
SIXTH, and EIGHTH Wards Of the city Of
Columbus, need not, we trust, be reminded,
that 1t is their duty to go to their respect
i've Polls to-day, and, vote for the Demo-
cratic nominees for Members Of the Board
of Education. The election is an exceed
ingly important one, and ought to be so re-
garded by every voter. The Democratic
candidates are all against making a party
engine Of the Board of Education, and
against NEGRO EQUALITY in our Public
Schools. Let every Democratic and Com
servatiYe elector In the eforenamed Wards,
vote for the Democratic candidate in his
Ward. and all will be well.

Addition to InTirmary Building.

We learn that our County Commissioners
have determined to add north wing to
the County Infirmary building correspond
ing with the south wing. The dimensions
of the new structure, which will be of
brick, will be SO by 80 feet, and two sto-
ries high, exclusive of the basement. The
estimated cost is about $4,000. 1t is in
tended to put it under contract and have
the new building completed at the earliest
possible day, as the present Infrmary is so
crowded, and the number of inmates so
rapidly increasing that more room has be-
come an absolute necessity.

There were tumultuous demonstrations
of Joy in the galleries of the United States
Senate, on Friday evening, when the an
nouncement was made by the Speaker that
the Senate had passed the Civil Rights bill
over the Presidents veto; but on this occa-
sion there was no order issued for clearing

GRANT sides with the President; that, al
though he is more reticent now than ever,
"he has said enough within two weeks to
convince all who heard him that he is the
fast and firm friend and adviser af the

this score Is, thatthe President has not gone

The election in this city, last Monday, re-
suited in the election of the Democratic
candidate for Marshal, by 81 majority, and
City Solicitor by ITO majority. Three of
the four Councilmen elected are Demo-

Assessor. The Democratic township ticket
was elected, with the exception of Treas

The same causes operated to reduce the

The BOARD OF EDUCATIoN.-Next Mon
day will be the day for the election of
School Directors. 1t is lamentable fact
that for years past the Democracy have
made the Board of Education a political
machine. During the war, some of our
best and most competent teachers were
peremptorily dismissed without single
reason assigned by the Board, or by Mr..
Kingsley, the superintendent. Even te-
males were sacrificed upon the Democratic
poverty, but under the elePating influence
of our common school system had prepar-
ed themselves to teach, and were support
ing widowed mothers or orphan children
by their labors; even such were dismissed
tcitbom any reason. Remember Mr.. Norton,
and Mr.. Twiss, Miss Lotta Peters, and
many others. No fault could be found with
them, only they were for the countfy-lOved
the old flag, and dared think for themselves.
Who succeeded them? Those of different
shade Of politics, that's all. This is Demo-
cratic prescription for opinions sake, and
not manliness enough in the Board or Su-
perintendent to give any reason. Sc Er
Will parents stay at home from the polls
and permit such petty politicians to act
thus in the future2 Can't we have men in
our School Board who will scorn to bring
politics into our common school system?-
Let the people rather elevate than lower tho
standard Of public school education. What
do the Democratic leaders care for our pub
lie school system? 1t Is anti-Democraficto
