The munipal election takes place March
18th, two weeks from next Monday. But lit
tie has transpired in the newspapers in re-
gard to it. Yet considerable wire pulling and
manoeuvering have been going on for some
time on both sides.
Portland is Republican city. The Repub-
leans have 1000 majority on National and 500
on State and local issues There is no reason
why we should not have Republican citv
government. Citizens movements are hum
bugs. No party responsibility tends to reck-
less administration. make party RESPONSE
BILE and affairs are better managed.
The present city government is apparently,
citizen: really, Democratic and the Mayor is
a Democrat.
The present Democratic arrangement,
which will be fully developed by Friday, is to-
have citizens meetings called and Mayor Put
nam nominated again for Mayor, with four
Republicans for Aldermen and three Demo-
Gratis, and twelve Republicans for Council
men and nine Democrats-what a congomer-
alton!
The vote last year was-whole number
4344-Putnam (Dem.) Citizens, 2241; Drum
mond Rep, 2O96 ;:Scattering 4. Putnam's ma
jority 12s.
The following wards gave citizens Dem
ocratic majorities: Ward one, Sc; ward two,
1t6: ward four, los; ward seven, 40; Islands,
1. The following gave Republican majorities
ward three, 100; ward five, II; ward six, 43.
The total vote in 1868, second trial. March
1877 was 5631-Republcan 3OO1; Democrat
263O; gross, Republican majority 81. The
Deering vote, however, 2S6 and scattering,
q Republican and Democracy prevented an
election by the people, and the City Council
elected Mcclellan. At the. March 10th cleo
ton Mcclellan, Irregular Republican, had 2412
necessary to a choice 2S16-4O4 short of an
election.
The average citizens or Democratic maiori-
ty for Aldermen last year (1S69) was 226 /:
Councilmen 163. Putnam, therefore, ran be-
hind both, showing after all, that were it not
for the Aldermen and Councilmen contest
Putnam might easily have been defeated.
Therefore let the Republicans nominate a
strong ticket-giving popular and efficient
man for Mayor, and with great care select
Aldermen, Councilmen and other subordinate
officers On them largely depend the full sue
cess of the ticket
Let us have no more mongrel citizens tick
cts, full OF the sound of justice but hollow
and deceptive. Let Portland be redeemed
and again placed where it belongs-by the
side of other equally Republican cities.
Rally the forces, wake up, make an onward
movement, rout the enemy and sweep the
course.
1t can and ought to be doue, with our 500
to 1000 majority, and if every Republican will
attend the caucusses and see that proper men
are nominated and everything harmoniously
and forbearlngly conducted, on the 7th of
March, P. NJ, we can say, ''Portland is re.
deemed! We have routed the enemy, horse,
foot and dragon.

T,,e R;bie i'm the Schools,

The decision of the Ohio Court that the
school board of Cincinnati have not authori-
tv TO exclude the Bible from the schools seems
to be based on the doctrine that Christianity
is recognized by the Constitution. and that
the prohibition of religious instruction in tbe
schools is contrary to the bill of riobts. The
imperfect abstract of this important decision
tnat mas been laid before the public probably
gives an imperfect idea of its meaning, for il
Is hard to reconcile it with the guaranty OF
religious freedom which is found incorporated
IN all State Constitutions as in the Consttu-
ton Of the United States. The question con-
corning the use of the Bible in the schools
was once brought in different way before
the Supreme Court of Maine The decision
here, as in Ohio, upheld the compulsory use
OF the Bible by pupils in the public schools
but upon what appears to be more Vaiiu
ground.
In Ellsworth, about sixteen or seventeen
years ago, the daughter OF an iriSliiian nanieu
Donahoe was expelled from school by the
school committee because she refused to read
in the Protestant version of the Bible, where
upon her father brought a suit for DAMAGES
against the committee, employing eminent
counsel. John A. Peters and r. IT Dana
Jr, of Massachusetts,, appeared for the com.
mittee, and of course the whole question was
deliberately discussed. From the very full re-
port in the 3Sth volume of the Maine Reports
we learn that the opinion of Justice Appleton
IN favor of the committee, concurred in by
the rest of the Court, was based on the con-
ciuslon that the reading of the Bible is not a
religious exercise, but merely a reading exer-
else. And this has been the established law
of Maine ever sine.

Has the Public Debt Been Reduced e

1t is very natural for the Democracy to at
tempt to break the force of the fact that the
public debt has been steadily reduced since
the beginning of Grants administration.
The credulous and uninteligent masses of
the party have been taught to believe that the
apparent decrease shown in the monthly
statements of the Treasury department is ac-
counted for by the omission from the exhibit
of Indebtedness of the Pacific Railroad bonds
for which the United States has become re-
sponsible, though it is hardly possible that it
will be called upon to pay them. Secretary
McCulloch included these bonds in his state
ments, and the ignorant and unrefecting are
made 10 believe that the pleasant appearance
of Boutwels monthly bulletin is accounted
for simply by the different method of making
them up that he has adopted. In the cam
paign in New Hampshire now pending the
opposition party has made the most of this
fallacy, till at last a letter from Secretary
Boutwell, to Senator Cragin has destroyed its
efficacy as an instrument of harm to a good
cause. The letter makes the following state
ments which will prove of great general in
terest:
The net amount of the public debt on the
LIST OF March, 1869, including interest accrued
and not paid, and excluding Pacific Railroad
bonds, was $2,525, 463 ,26OO1. The PRINCIPAL
OF the bonds then issued TO the Pacific Rail-
road companies was $50, 937 900, or an accre-
gate liability and Indebtedness of S25794OO.-
260.01.
On the LIST of February, 1870. the net
amount on the debt, excluding bonds issued
70 the racine Railroad companies, and includ-
ms interest accrued and not paid, was S2.444.-
Si3,2oS.92. The bonds issued to the Pacific
Railroad companies, amounted to $G4,457.-
5z0, or an aggregate liability and indebted
ness OF S2,509,270,60S 92.
1t thus appears that the liability of the
Ohited States on account of the Pacific Rail
roads has been increased during tbe eleven
months, under acts of Congress preyiouslv
passed, to the amount of $1O,52O320.
during the same period of eleven months
the direct debt of the United States has been
diminished SS0,649,971 o.; and if the increas
ca liability o~the United States on account of
the Pacific Railroads be added, there still re-
mains an actual diminution of the total nublIc
aeot OF the United States, direct and contin-
651 O9. VI ~'o'AA''
Inese statements are based upon the books
Oh the Treasury Department, and cannot in
any way be impeached.
hhese Iacts are worth remembering. Con-
ciseiy stated they are to this effect: concedinc
.nat railroad bonds have increased the debt
ten or twelve millions, the total decrease is at
the rate of more than eighty millions per an
cum since the 4th of last March.
