Who are the Repudintor. .

The Negro Suffrage press of the State
charge the Democracy, because they wish
to pay off the National debt in legal tender
notes, in order to lessen the taxes of the
people, in the same money in which the
debt was contracted, with being in favor
of repudiation.
The party whose press charge these false
hoods are the only repudiato1s the State has
ever known.
They repudiated the debt due the indi-
gent soldiers, and the widows and orphans
of those who fell in defense of the natio n,
by filching SSO0,00O from the amount set
apart by taxation for their support, thus
lea wing them to starve or to hide their
mise ry in the poor house.
They repudiated the solemn obligation
of the State to pay the interest on the debt
due to foreigners in gold, by ordering it to
be paid in greenbacks, when greenbacks
were wort h only about one-third of the
amount called for on their face.
The q 80 Government bonds were bought
with greenbacks-were covenanted to be
paid in green backs, and in greenbacks, the
only legal tender currency of the country,
they will be paid, and he who dare say
that to do so is reputation, either express.

In closing this series OF letters, may be per-
mitted TO drop a word of caution. The writer
who describes the West as 1t actually presents
itself in appearance TO the intelligent traveller,
is apt to give, after all, one-slded view. The
elements of success reveal themselves more
vividy than those Of failure. The more pros
porous phases of life are those that strike the
observer Because this country has In 1t all the
elements Of future growth and greatness, is no
reason why those who are we'll situated at the
East should phil up their stakes and come
hither. The professional callings are crowded
in all these Western cities. There are more law
yers and doctors, as a general rule, than can
find profitable employment. There is also
an overplus of traders. The middle
men are too numerous. The cities are ahead
of the country. What this portion of the West
needs, most of all, is an influx of producers

ducements TO that class of farmers who can

ing on an extensive scale pays splendidly. Men
without capital can secure themselves homes
by going into the more remote districts, where
lands may be obtained from the Government
under the provisions of the Homestead act;
but they must expect for some years
to put up with the privations of a
new country. But even thls class of settlers
should have few hundred dollars in ready
money for the purchase of teams, wagons,
ploughs, and stock, aud for the support OF their
families until the first crop can be raised. In
the older sections of the country improved
farms can be rented or taken on shares. Along
the lines of the railroads lands can be pur-
chased of the railroad companies at low prices
and on long credits Considering the location
OF these lands, they are in many instances. in
my opinion, cheaper and more desirable than
the more remote lands which may be obtained
under the Homestead law. Old persons and
even those of advanced middle life, who ire
well situated at the East, had better stay there.
For the young, VINO have their fortunes to
make, and who can afford to walt and grow up
with the country, this part of the West offers
great inducements.

A RUMoR has been prevalent for some time
past that Edward Shppen, ESQ.,, will retire from
the Presidency Of the Board of School Control
lers at the close of the present year. Although
it has obtained general currency through the
agency of the press, it is without foundation, as
far as we can ascertain. Aud we trust that, on
the organization of the new Board next week,
there will not be found dissenting voice when
Mr.. shippen is placed In nomination for that
position. He has performed the arduous duties
of this important office with entire satisfaction
to the public, beng eminently fitted for it by
education, experience, and thorough devoted
ness to the best interests of our public echocl
system. While the new Board is great i'm
rroVcment upon the old one, whose term OF
office expires with the current year, and C n
tains number of gentlemen in whose hands
the affairs Of our schools would, perhaps, not be
permitted to suffer from lack Of zeal or wisdom,
there is still DO other name upon the list or its
membership which presents as many indsputa-
Bile claims to the position as does Mr.. Shlppen,
His re election TO the position will be fitting
commentator of his past course and certain
augury of good management in the future.

From The ". Y. Com. Adv. Of last evening.
We few days ago printed in the Commercial
an account of the bold robbery of Clearing
House messenger, oy two men. The robbers 1t
was soon ascertamed, had made less tnau they
thought by the magnl Gcens enterprise, as the
messengers budget contained very little IN
funds available to rogues. A new phase OF the
affair has just been m ade public 0y Superintend-
ent Kennedy, who received very curious
Christmas present, under The following clrcum-
stances:-
On Christmas Day he was seated in his Office
at the Central Ponce Department, in conversa-
ton with Mr.. Smith Ely and other gentlemen,
when lad brought in package or roll done
up in nc Hspaper, aoout tWentyeight inches
long and four or i've in diameter, aud handed it
to the SUPERINTENDENT, 10 whom il was addressed
on a sin of paper attached. Mr.. Kennedy
asked, What is this 2" The boy ans wered, "a
gentleman at the Ansou House directed me TO
hand it to yoo." "Who is the gentleman ~ 81
don't know, SIR" The parcel was then lad on
the table by tue Superintendent, and he pro-
ceeded with the business which had been inter
rupted by the entrance of the lad-the business
being the consideration OF an imputa,lon that
one of his officers was implicated IN the hInap-
ping of a man, named Gill. from Troy.
AT the conclusion OF the business, at the eXpi-
ration of halt an hour or so, NlT. Kennedy
thought he would examine his Chris pre-.

ON several occasions 0lIver has been arrested at
the instance of the family, Yesterday, while the
family were seated az the table, dispute arose
between Oliver and his son, during which Oliver
seized fork and struck several blows at his
soop, two of which took effect. One wound was

fortunately are not of a serious nature, although
painful. Oliver was arrested last night by

No selections or hymns were sung in which
the people could join. Voluntaries and strange
anthems, consisting of singing one word in
hundred different notes. and by score of diff
ferent voices, took the place of the song Of
praise, and the services ended with benediC-
tiOn and series of alarming bows.
Such is the form of ritualism. Such is the
improvement which is to take the place Of the
earnest and unostentatious worship of other
days. And yet these followers of this new
notion of devotion pray that ''from all pride,
vainglory, and hypocrisy" the "good Lord
will deliver them" We can see in it but a
sign of lp-service, where the heart is cold.
We can see in it an attempt to cover up back
sliding and frivolity with an assumption Of
righteousness. Under this new formula, as
the Independent says, the Church, which was
intended as the home of weary souls the nurse
of manly virtue, the gathering spot for the
communion of saints, is converted into scene
for aesthetic display. Soft, seductive ve--appeals
to the imagination are made of more account
than masculine reasonings on righteousness,
temperance, and judgment to come.
