School ACCOUNTS, There appears
to be a general negligence on the part
OF School Directors to publish the ac-
count OF the receipts aud expenditures
oftheirrospective districts as required
by the Act of Assembly. The State
Superintendent of Common Schools
states that this section OF the law is
as obligatory upon the Board of Di-
rectors as is the section requiring
them TO keep open the schools, and a
neglect to perform this duty according
to the law will subject Directors to
removal by the courts, the same as
the neglect of any other duty required
by law.

The Era OF FRAUD.-The entire
fraud, embezzlements, or malfeasance
in office of any kind, during the long
years of Democratic rule in this State
concentrated and then thrice magni-
fed, would be invisible TO the naked
eye placed side by side with the fraud
and corruption being practised this
very hour by the Republican loydlists.
The entire party has become one pes
tiferous mass of corruption, and will
remain so until fumigated by the peo.
pie, which we think they will do about
next October.

her look behind, and iancied she evinc-

A PRETTY GOOD RECORD

The ArgH & Patriot Of last week has a savage
article on our friend Gregory which he will doubt
less survive, as it is but the rawlings Of mad man
with a very narrow plank under his feet. The
facts are Gregory was elected Representative By
the Democrats from the venerable town of Quincy,
Massachusetts, and his vote made Marcus Morton,
Governor, nearly thirty years ago, with all the
facts which Atkins has published well known to
his constituents He has also been elected twice
by the Democrats OF Mortified in later years (af-
ter their conversion TO Free Soilism.) ichere he
married The only iaicfW toife he eper had, so pro-
nounccd 10y the Grand jury of Norfolk county,
Massachusetts. IL is a nasty bird that fouls lis
own nest But more Mr.. 6. has been twice
elected by the Republicans as Senator Of Wash
ington county by 1900 majority. A pretty good
record for SO bad a man as Atkins would make
Gregory appear to be. Blow away. Hiram, and
keep your courage up until next March.
