Robbiug the schools.

"Trooly loil" men in the Southern
States have been stealing money apprC-
priated for educational purposes. 10
Tennessee this was the case, and the
Montgomery Mail complies, from oili-
cial reports, table showing how the
fund has been managed in Alabama, and
says in referercs thereto: ut appears
by This table, the figures of which are
taken from official reports, that in
eighteen counties of the State alone the
white children have been plundered to
the amount of Sl3j,4l4, and that this
SUN, amounting to more than One-third
of the whole educational disbursements,
has gone, half of it TO paying high-sal-
aried officers, and the other half to pay
incompetent teachers of negro schools,
which are for the most part swindles
upon the school fund" This case is not
quite SO had as that of Tennessee, where
nearly half a million of dollars were
swallowed up by the swindlers at a sim
gle sitting But it shows the utter cor
ruption and Generalization of the Rad
iGal party. When the old lady was told
that her servants were not negroes, but
copper-colore persons, she exclaimed :
at don't make much difference about
the coler, almost any of them will suck
eggs" This is the case with Radical
officials. 1t don't matter about the
color, they will appropriate" the public
funds.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1870-03-08

CONGRESS has given to four great
railroad companies l2O,OOO,QOO acres OF
the public lands. This is what might
be considered fair illustration of the
Radical idea of protecting American
industry" The public domain is the
heritage of the young laborers of the
country. The tendency of our national
growth has heen to throw the young
population westward, where upon the
broad acres of Uncle SAM it has found
its home. But these magnificent land
grants to railroad companies, compris'
ing, as they do, the very best of the
public lands, must soon render itimpos.
sible to find government farm at gov
ernmeUt prices, fit to settle upon.
Monopolists will contrel the best part
of the unsettled territory of the West,
and the poor mans home will be held
at such prices as poor men cannot reach.
