On Thursday evening, the Introductory

that there was no money in the School
Fund. He has been SO good to confirm
our convictions and to let US and the
public know that Carson District is just
one hundred and sixty dollars worse Oft
than nothing, so far as funds are con-
cerued. But beyond this parade of gen
eral results and aggregate balances, DE
leaves US entirely in the dark.
Now, in our opinion expressed with
entire respect toward Mr.. Bivins) this
" Report " is far from satisfactory. He
makes no account of salaries goes
into no particulars. He Jumps the job
and leaves the public to exercise its
inns gination as to details. He no doubt
keeps A strict account of all his transac
tious-or he ought to, at any rate, for
he is the financial head of the school
system of this county. He and his wife
and three young ladies have been con
nected with the school as teachers dur
ing hist of Office There have been
incidental expenses incurred ia the fur-
chase of fuel, printers bilis, &c. Why
not let the people who pay these bis
know what they each amounted to:wheD
they were paid and all about it? BY
the las. appor;ionment of funds, Ornsb5

amount goes to pay "a dead horse

Give US the particulars for the sake 81
satisfying public curiosity and letting
US know if there are not some leaks
somewhere that might be stopped in the
future. Let US know If there is malr-
tanned thorough and unyarying system
of payments by turns settlement OF
accounts in accordance with their date
of record.
Mr.. Bivins owes it TO himself as well
as to the people whom be was elected
to serve to make such a minute ana
particular exhibit a. we suggest. Here
is county, the second il the State, sc
far as the number of its school children
are conc erned, with its school fund re
duced to state of beggary. To those
who duly appreciate the importance c
the educational interest, this IS a matte
of very deep concern. Tbs citizens wh'
paw the taxes and who go further, ant
make private contributions to sustain
the school, are soIicitous to know ant
have a right to know the exact condition
Of this branch of the countgs affair

TIE COMING UNION STATE CON-
YENTION.

The Enterprise gives some very good
rsasons why the Union State Convention
for the selection Of Delegates to the
Chicago Convention should be deferred
until as late day as possible. 1t sets
forth the fact that there are many and
constant changes going on in the politi-
cal condition of the country and that we
should be prepared to adapt our action
to suit such emergencies as may arise
Now while we concur in this view OF
the matter, we think the Enterprise ad-
vises the postponement of the Conven-
ton until rather too late day. We
are Of the opinion that it should be con-
veued soon enough tc admit full DELI
be,ation upon the choice of a candidate
for the Presidency, the character OF the
instructions to the Delegates, &c. 1t
seems to US that it would be unwise to
defer the time of holding the Convention
to q later date than the Goth of April.
A month is none too much time in which
the Delegates may get ready for their
trip and make the journey. But these
may be regarded as immaterial consider
atioas a. compared with question which
il preached by the Trespass. That pa
per sees fit to pronounce, in advance,
against the selection of either Nye,
Stewart or Ashley as Delegates to the
National Convention. This opposition
il offered because of the " radicalism y
of the Senators and Representative
This looks like making an issue in favor
of certain Senatorial candidates who
are distinguished for their canserva-
tism" and ambition to succeed Mr..
Stewart. Now, it had not occurred to
Nc that either of tho gentlemen named
would be proposed as a Delegate; but
if they are to be singled out for repu-
diation because of their course while In
Congress, or their individual views re-
earding Radicalism. the party should

Burglary.

We learn that the residence of Mr.
Thomas Stemples, at East Stroudsburg,
was entered by burglars on the night Of
the 9th ult "wednesday of last week, !,
and lot Of silver spoons carried of. The
rogues were either disturbed in their op-
eraiions or concluded, after search. that
Mr. S. did not allow his valuab!es to lie
around loose.
On the same evening the residence Of
sir Rockafellow, in tie same village,
was also entered, and his pocket-book
containing ten dollars and his watch ia
ken from the bedroom, where ne and his
wife slept. As this is a beginning, and
as it is well known to the police Of our
cities that the pickpockets and burglars
have nearly all started out on a spring
and summer rustication, it may be well
for our citizens to be prepared for such
visits.

The reader will find brief biographical
sketches of Gen. Grant and the Hon.
SCHUYLER Colfax, on the first page of this
weeks paper. We do not publish these
as necessary to make Republicans ac-
quainted with our glorious candidates for
the Presidency and Vice-Presidency.
They know them well, because goodly
portion of their lives enters largely into
the most important epoch of our country's
history, and Republicans kept pace with
that history, from the inception of the
Rebellion down to the present time. We
publish it merely that Republicans may
have an answer at hand for the many and
notorious lies which Democratic leaders,
and Democratic editors, daily invent for
the hoodwinking of their followers, and
to catch those who are lukewarm, and do
not care to take the trouble to look into
the nobleness of character Of our caudi.
dates or the purity of our cause. We
will next week publish the patriotic and
manly letters of acceptance, written by
Messrs. Grant and Collax in reply to the
notice given them of their nomination.

say- The Sunday School Room of the
New Presbyterian Church in our borough,
was dedicated on Sunday afternoon last.
The exercises were Of very interesting
character. An admirable address was
made to the teachers aud parents by d.
NJ. Stiger, Esq, of Jersey City, and one
no less admirable to tie children by Ju-
lius Howell, Esq, of the same place
Several clergymen were present, and took
part in the exercises. Excellent singing
by the choir and children enlivencd the
services, and Prof. Clements manipulated
with his accustomed skill the'kcys Of the
organ. The children of the Sunday
School are trying to get Bell for the
Church, and through the pastor they
asked and urged the audience to take
shares in its capital stock. Such shares
are offered at 25 cents each, and the well
pleased audience showed their apprecia
ton of it, by taking AIS shares, at the pal
value of S10375 The congregation
and especially the children, are delighted
with their new room, and certainly they
should be; for it is neat, commodious ant
pleasant.
The congregation will continue to holt
their regular services in that room unit
the completion of the main room, which
they hope to dedicate sometime in Au
gust. The services on Sunday were al
attended by large and attentive audiences
thus testifying to an appreciation of tn
new building.
