MAKING TREASON ODIoUs.-A Democratic paper
gives prominent place to private letter written
10y "a resident of South Carolina" to "a distinguished
Democrat" OF New York city. The only comment
which it needs is the query, Whose fault is 1t? The
South Carolina Jeremiah says
"The Legislature of this State is now sitting in
Columbia, having in it seventy negroes, being
two-thirds Of the whole number; the other third is
made up OF adventurers from New England, carpet
baggers, as they are called here-put down as white
in the catalogue, but, If their deeds are to mark
their true COLOR they are as black as the blackcst
''These men recent cOmers into the State
They have not the remOtest interest in the South,
except 80 far as they enrich themselves by me-
nopollzing all the ofIlces. They live generally with
the negroes, and thus sent by their votes to the
Legislature q certain number OF col0red men being
put on the ticket with them, as many as may be
necessary to pass just such laws as they will dictate
from time to time, to enable them to carry out their
nefari0us purposes.
''You can we'll imagine how 1t chafes the citizen

OBITU AIRY.
Richnrd IL. Lnnea.


Richard b. Jones, former associate judge OF the
courts OF Montgomery county, died recently in the
neighborhood OF Doylestown, In the eighty-sxth
year of his age. AS judge he was noted for his
intelligent and honest-hearted opinions, and by all
his constituents OF that district was regarded as
something above the ordinary run.
In his youth he was midshipman In the navy,
and while in this position was present at the
famous bombardment of Trlpol, at the begin
ming Of this century. on the death OF his father,
who was q man OF considerable wealth, he resigned
from the navy. He Inherited the family homestead,
in Lower Merton township, known as "brookfeld, "
which at that time comprised some five hundred
acres. At one time he was appointed Consul to
Tripoli and the expiration OF his term of service
returned to the United States, when he brought
with him the famous Arabian stallion, "Grand
Bashaw." This, and "Grand Bashaw," brought
home by his Secretary Joseph G. Morgan were the
first horses OF this noted stock which ever In
troduced into this country.
Under President Fillmore he was appointed Con-
sul-General to Egypt. On receiving the appoint
ment he sold his estate of "Brookneld" at q low
ngure and removed to that country, where he re-
NAMED until removed by the new administration,
when he returned and took up his residence at
Salem, New Jersey. Hs remains were inferred in
the cemetery at Doylestown.

A TRUE PICTURE Of the Democratic party is
sketched by the New York Wor9d, which, in
the course of an exhortation to State Sena-
tor after reminding him that it has neither
money nor patronage to offer him, expresses
the belief that, like all honest Democrats in
the city of New York, he has concluded to
join the World in its war to rescue New York
from the Ring, and the Democratic party
from a fatal milestone which has hitherto
hung about their necks-the fragrant dishon-
esty of their rule where their rule was undis-
puted. Why should the World speak in
such harsh terms of the sachems of Tammany
Hall, who, having at last succeeded in getting
every branch of the State Government under
their control, are now engaged in the lauda-
BILE task of undoing the work of preceding
Legislatures?

SUSAN b. ANTHONY has not been up to time.
The municipal election in Salt Lake City fol-
lowed SO close upon the passage by the Ter
ritorial Legislature of the bill comforting the
elective franchise upon women, that the
great she-dragon could not reach the scene of
conflict before the battle was over. About
half a dozen women voted, we are told.
About half dozen! And there are at least
five thousand whited sepulchres in the city of
Brigham, all signing for an opportunity to
redeem themselves. When Susan reads this
news, we doubt if she will be greatly encour.

THE BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

THE BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
SEVERAL months ago the question was elabo-
rately argued before the Superior Court of
Cincinnati whether the action of the Board
of Education of that city in prohibiting the
reading of the Bible in the public schools
was legal, and yesterday decision was rem
dered, by the grant of perpetual injunction
against the course adopted by the Board of
Education, and an Affirmation of the principle
that the reading of the Bible can never be
prohibited by such authority. This view was
sustained by two Of the three judges on the
bench, but Judge Taft delivered dissenting
opinion, and as the counsel for the defend
ants say they will carry the case to the
Supreme Court, the controversy is not yet
conclusively determined. Similar disputes
are likely to arise in other cities, and
increased Importance is constantly being
given to these agitations by efforts to apply a
portion of the public school funds to secta
rian purposes. In New York this has already
been done to an alarming extent; while in
Cincinnati the practice of reading the Bible
in the public schools, which was commenced
fifty years ago, was recently temporarily in
terrupted, and it can only be restored by the
force of the late legal decision. Under these

The subject of an appropriation for con-
tinuing musical instruction in the public
schools will probably come up in Select
Council tomorrow afternoon, and we trust

carry no weight with such of our rulers as are

NORTHKRN PAOIFIC RALLROAD.

NORTHERN Pa ACIFIC RAILROAD.
ANOTHER great national work was fairly com
menced yesterday 10y breaking the ground
for the Northern Pacific Railroad at the
Dalles of st. Louis river, Minnesota. All the
exploring parties that have passed over this
route unite in praising it, not only for its
directness, the ease with which the road can
be built, and its freedom from the obstruo-
tions that interfere to some degree with tho
success of lines in more southerly latitude,
but because Of the magnificent country that
will be opened up to civilization. The North
ern Pacific Railroad will be the shortest route
to the Pacific, and on account of tho confgu-
ration of the ground and the fact that it is
less elevated above the sea, it will be less
liable to distractions in winter. Indeed, the
engineers are confident that there
will be no difficulty in keeping
the line open all the year round.
The country through which this road will
run is almost a terra iacognitG at present, but
those who have visited it bring back the most
glowing reports with regard to the fertility Of
its soil, the magnifcence of its forests,
its great mineral wealth, and the salubrity of
few years it will be thronged with eager set
tiers, and that it will become one of the gar
den spots of our great empire. 1t only needs
the completion of the Northern Pacific Rail
road and its branch lines to carry the ad-
vancing tide of civilization over this magnif-
cent region, and the actual commencement of
the work of building the road announced
in the kilograms from the Dalles of the
st. Louis river and Duluth is a national event
of the first importance That it has been
possible to break ground at this early day is
due in a great measure to the efforts of
Messrs Jay Cooke & Co., who have placed
the merits of the line in such a manner be-
fore the public that they have easily secured
subscriptions to the amount of $4,000, 900.
The entire cost of the line, including a
branch road, is estimated at $S5, 900,
which is considered exceedingly liberal, and
the engineers are confident that the road can
be built in irst-class manner, with all it's
appurtenances, for much less money. The
road, when completed, with its connections
will be the shortest direct line from Japan
and China to Europe, and there is no doubt
that it will transport a large portion of the
Asiatic commerce, while it will by its home
traffic realize magnificent revenue The
road, when completed, will be another great
link binding the shores of the Allan tic and
Pacific together, and making the people on
both sides of the continent feel that their in
terests are identical, and that the union of
the States is something that is more than
ever worthy of being proud of.

PUTTING a valentine under door is certain
ly not such crime as will warrant the infic-
ton of the death penalty. And yet this
appears to have been the opinion of Richard
Ficken, who shot boy named Arthur D..
Curran on Monday for this offense. The lad
was not killed, but he was wounded so severe
ly in the leg that it is thought amputation
will be necessary, and that murder was not
committed was in no respect the fault of the
perpetrator of the outrage. Admitting all
the aggravation caused to an ill l-grained and
savage nature by the frequent ringing of O
door-bell, and the receipt of satirical valen-
tines, this fendish act admits of no paliation
or excuse, and the perpetrator merits prompt
and severe punishment. Boys are trouble
some and if Richard Ficl1en will allow his
memory to run back far enough he will
probably have no difficulty in recollecting q
good many pranks that deserved to be
punished much more than the one committed
by the poor boy who is now suffering by his
hand, and if he is not able to bear the ordi-
nary inconvenience of juvenile mischievous-
ness without resorting to firearms, he should
be locked up where he will neither be annoyed
by such trihes or have opportunities offered
for the qualification of his murderous pro-
pensites.

The New HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS have
sustained q severe shock. Dawes has written
to the chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, avowing his desire for the success of
the Republican ticket, but threatening to
drop down to New Hampshire and make a
speech before the election comes off. Dawes
will, of course, repeat his speech on the ex-
travagance of President Grants administra-
ton, as nothing else will do the party such
signal service, and tend to bring over to it's
lines shaky Democrats.

Aran adjourned meetingo of the stockholders
of the Mercantile Library, held last evening,
It was decided to keep the library open on
Sundays between the hours of and o'clock
p. M. This important step will, we are con
fident, result in benefit of the most positive
character to the institution and to the com
munity. The Mercantile, to very large
extent supplies tho place of free library,
and with its comfortable and attractive road
ine-room il will offer inducements to many
young men to spend Sunday in manner
beneficial to themselves; whereas, for want
of occupation, they would otherwise be roam
ing about the streets, lounging at tho cor
nels, and by their enforced idleness be
subjected TO temptations innumerable. The
library need not be and it will not be brought
into competition with the churches, and by
throw ing its doors open on Sunday it will be
doing its work as well as they for the moral
and religious improvement of the coInmu-
nifty. IL would have been better il il had
been determined TO keep the library open on
Sundays during the same hours as through
the week, but it is qualification to find that
there is a disposition to look at this important
matter in a proper light, and to make the
facilities of the library available even for
portion of Sunday. The question of extend
ing the library hours ON week days TO II
O'Clock p. NJ. was referred to the Board Of
Directors for consideration, and we hope that
it will be decided upon favorably. This is
matter of some importance, as the reading
and chess rooms are crowded every evening
with young men, who are thus enabled to
pass their leisure in rational amusement and
self-instruction. To many of these 10 clock
is a very early hour, and it would be great
accommodation to them if an extension of
the time of closing were to be made.

are transiently in Paris are admitted to
share French hospitality. There are many
Americans who reside in Paris-quite a
