Over column of the last number Of the Cam

to showing how great liar is that other Demo-
cratic sheet, the Neys, of tho same place. 1t

for prize story, worse than many given away !;
has claimed that his Office expenses were $40 a

guilty Of bad faith in offering for consideration

stamping for another; aud has attempted to ca

ALI of which seems to show terrible mean
ness and corruption prevailing in the Democratic

HORRIBLE MURDER.

THREE PERSONS KILLED IN THEIR OWN HOME.
[From special Telegram to Phila, Press.I
horrible murder is reported near Huntingdon,
pennsylvania, on Wednesday evening. The VIC
tins were three persons, q farmer named John
Perghtal, his wife Sarah, and his son Scott Gard
ner, boy Of ten or twelve years. They were
seated ut the supper table, talking when they
were fired on, by robbers, and the father and son
Instantly killed, being shot through the head.
Mrs. Perghtal was severely, but not fatally,
wounded, and was dispatched with Ratchet.
The villains then ransacked the house and re-
ceved, 1t Is said, several thousand dollars In coin
and greenbacks: They next picked up the bodies
of their victims, placed old clothes and bedding
on them, aud attempted to set fire to the whole,
and then fled. The fire, however, merely smoul-
dered, and so attracted the peighbors.
Two Germans, named Oliver Badenhurg and
Gottleib Bohrer, the latter q recently discharged
convict, were arrested, yesterday morning at
Altoona. and some Of the stolen money found
upon them. The rest they are supposed to have
hidden in the woods. One of them has made a
partial confession, and there seems no doubt of
their guilt

Our Bank Buildings.

The Banks of this city Az cot open to the
charge of extravaganza in their erection of bank
ing houses. Still the buildings of the National
Bank of Wilmington aud Brandywiue, and The
Farmers Bank, arc quite stylish, and handsome
structures, and those Of the First National, and
National Bank of Delaware, are at least neat and
good looking, that of the latter institution having
an appearance particularly appropriate to lis
character. Now If we could say, in addition to
this, that the Union National Bank, having wait
ed until much younger institutions surpassed her
in the beauty OF their buildings, has resolved to
build house which shall far eclipse anything Of
the kind in this city, and rival those OF the larger
Cities we should be glad 10 do SO. But then we
cannot, for we have not the slightest intimation
that there is any such Intention.

THE ED UCA71ON OF OUR PEG,
PIE

There are, in Delaware, outside Of Will
mington, and few limited localities, no
efficient public schools. The children Of
this State have no certainty Of an education.
This is true, even of the white children, and
it is still further true Of those who have
the State neither pretends to educate, nor
desires to. Five years ago, it was still law
ful to hold and use them as slaves, in Della
ware, and under the reasonable theory of
that day, education was denied them, be-
cause it has long been understood that intel
ligence and scholarship ruin man for the
condition OF slavery. But that theory has
even yet undergone no change, and there is
still just as little public education for the free
men and women of this State, who happen
to be colored, and for their children, as there
ever was, in the darkest days of slavery.
Under such rule, with such laws,
We bring up the children of the State;
the white ones, with pretentious but
useless, inefficient, and inert, school
system. the black ones with not
even pretense of schools, save
those laboriously provided by private philan-
thropy. Nay, even more, the last Legisla-
tire, with bigotry and meanness, of which
even that body should have been ashamed,
refused the colored people the privilege of
being equally taxed, according to their prop
erty, and having the proceeds applied to
their education.
Uuder such circumstances, these people OF
our State come semi-annually to be pun
ished by our Courts of Justice, mainly for
petty crimes. Five colored men were whip
ped, and one pilloried, at New Castle, on
Saturday, and white men are often thus
punished. We are willing to lash their
we permit hundred children to enjoy
at least the education of that spectacle;)
but we are unwilling to cultivate their bet
ter natures, and thus prevent crime. We give
money, cheerfully, for new whipping posts,
and new "cats," but we neglect to provide
school-houses, and spelling books.
How much longer are these things to con-
tinue How much longer will we prefer to
make public exhibitions of our barbarous
and brutal laws, enacted in the reign of sla-
very, and continued now, although these
are the days of Freedom How much Ion
ger will we prefer to whip men rather than
teach them? How much longer will we
rather punish than educate

Miss Logan's lecture, at Institute Hall, on
Friday evening, was representation of the Suf-
irage movement similar liz fact, but very differ
ent in method, from that of Lucy Stone. Olive
intends to make her ''cause" popular; nay, even
fashionable. She believes in appealing to other
senses than that of logical confinement, alone,
and she will charm the gentlemen into being lust,
if anybody can. Her ways are full OF womanly
art, and feminine grace while the matter of her
lecture was good II was her quite inimitable mar
ner that made il so entertaining. Some of her
audience, perhaps, did not expect her to touch
upon the Suffrage Question, but they must have
been unaware how warmly Miss Logan has taken
it up, and how prominently she already stands in
behalf of woman's voting.
When one lady says, 81 do not want 10 vote"
she should reflect that there may be many women
who do want 10, and that her preference ought
not to control theirs. She may have good rep
resentative to go to the polls, while they may
have none. 1t is the justice and propriety of the
case which VIC are to be considered not the mere
ly sentimental preference of one or another.
