over the boat interrupted any further

The Democratic Penalty for Educa-

The State Journal, with the best Of in
tentiOns, doubtless, enters into serious
argument with the stolid Democrats. of
the Legislature to convince them Of the
injustice and impOlicy of retaining IN
Mr.. Rex's bill to preserve the purity Of
elections the section which distranchis-
es young men who are attending
schools, seminaries, academies, colleges
and universities, or other institutions
of learning, unless they or their pa
rents have an actual residence in the
places where the schools are located.
This Is a mere waste of words. Years
ago, Mr.. Vallandlgham declared our
schools and colleges, our telegraphs,
railroads, and other aids Of civilization
to be anti-COuserVative,- anthem OCrat-
ic agencies They are abolitiOniZed,
and their Illuminating Influences are
predjudicial to that blind obedience
and exacting discipline, without which
Democracy can not flourish. Mr.. ReNfs

titled bin TO discourage education and
