How TO BEAT Grant.

From the Nashville Union and American.
The imminent prospect of Gen Grants
denomination for the Presidency forbid
any discussion of probabilities on that
hand. 1t is foreordained, and it is doubt
full even whether the formality of nom
mating convention will be indulged The
Radical party belongs to Grant and is
the Grant party of the country. Now,
if gentlemen connected with the Repub
lican party desire to defeat even Grant
there is but one practicable way of do
ing It, and that is to call in each of the
States an anti Grant contention and let
that convention nominate an electoral
ticket, composed say, equally of Demo
Gratis and anti-Grant Republicans. select.
ing for the places the purest and best
men in the respective States. Let this
ticket be run 10 each of the States on It's
own merits uncomplicated with anybody's
candidacy for the Presidency. Let this
college of electors if elected such 90 on
the day prescribed by law and cast their
votes for President and Vice President
[ verify believe that such a ticket would
prevail over the Grant ticket in New
York, Pennsylvania, aud OHIO, and in
enough other States TO insure the defeat
of Grant beyond peradventure.
This was the original intention of the
Constitution The convention system
practically did away with it and made
the electors mere cyphers. This plan
recurs to fundamental principles, aud
has the advantage of taking the whole
field againt Grant. A DEMOCRAT.

Kentucky school statistics.

Hon. Y F. Smith. the retiring Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction, has
issued his report for the school year end
ing June 3, 1871. 1t is pronounced by
those who have examined it valuable
treatise on our common school education
and abounds In important suggestions for
the future management of the system in
our State, now in comparative infancy
The pupil children of the State-that is,
those between the ages of six and twenty
years-are reported to number 3S9, ,S36
The auditor estimated the net school
revenue for the year ending June 80
1871, from the school tax, school fund
and all sources at S776 239 SO, and for
the fiscal year 1872 a 1868 176 40 The
pupil children for 1872 are estimated at
405719 The increase in their number
in 1869 over 1868 was 2.978, and esti-
mated increase of 1872 over 1871, 10.
$50 The pro rata for each child in the
past year was 50, and for the next it is
estimated at 50 30.
BY an amendment to the common
school law of Kentucky, past at the last
session of the Legislature, cities and
towns having organized School Board,
may, through their President or Chair
man, make their reports directly to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction and
draw 40 per cent. of their pro rata dis
distribution direct from the State Treas
ury, instead of the County Commissioner,
when they have had their public schools
taught by qualified teachers for one half
session OF FIVE months.

Mr.. A T. Stewart, the richest msn in
America, says he "does not believe In
charity per sc, by which he probably
means that he does not regard promis-
cuous lms-giving as true charity at all.
He thinks that when he employs his
money in such a way that hundreds Of
industrious poor people find living cheap
er ia consequence, his benefsction IL no
less benefaction by reason Of the fact
that the investment yields a reasonably
good return to himself, thereby increas-
ing his ability to do good in other d.
rections He holds that to aid poor peo-
pie By mere aims giving serves to lessen
their own self-respect and to make them
less worthy citizens, but that TO give
them work or to provide them with cheap
homes is to encourage them, to lift them
up, and TO make them wortbier as we'll

but who are longing for the day when
they can take rooms In Mr. Sfe8art's

ca pitalist expects this Investment 10 pay
him handsomely. He has carefully es
timated the cost of maintaining the

charges accordingly. But the fact that
it will be remunerative to him does not
in the least diminish its usefulness. On
the contrary, he expects its greatest value
as a charity to lie in the fact that its
pecuniary success will commend the sys-
tenn of cheap, well regulated boarding
houses to other capitalists, and thereby
multiply through the self-interest Of
Others his own good work. A similar
purpose dictated Mr. Stewards other
great enterprise, the building Of subur-

there to make a village of comfortable

The Great Problem of the
Future

The Great Problem of the
Future
George Wilkes has written a letter from
Paris, 10 which he relates and reviews at
considerable length the politico-lab abor
movements in Europe and this country.
II says that the working classes (f the
world will bedhe supreme power of the
future The relations of capital and la
Dor are to be the great questions divid-
ing parties here and elsewhere, on which
the New York Commercial remarks:
We have buried slavery, We have set
tied the problem Of secession. and now We
are to face the issues raised by the nigh
ty tabor movement whose violent and re-
volutionary principles are represented by
the IaterndtioHdle Society But behind
this dangerous organization are the asp-
rations of wor kingmen who would not
achieve their ends by disorder, aud to
whose solicitations the politicians of the
future cannot be Indifferent The "In-
ternatioBals" may perish of their own
folly, but the problems arising from the
relations of capital aud labor will clsmor
for solution, and will be, in point of i'm
portauce to some future generation of
our people, what the slavery question

OUR ADVICE
From the Louisville Ledger.
The Programme.

1t will be borne in mind that we have
several times recently warned the people
of Kentucky that there is a deep laid
scheme upon the part of the Grant ad-
ministration to manufacture a pretext
upon which to found declaration of
martiallaw in Kentucky. Every other
expedient for getting control of the State
has been tried and has proven abortive
Kentucky stands in the way of the
purposes of the party in power. She is
an oasis in the Sahara which reconstrue
ton has made of the South. She stands
as light house TO which the eyes of the
mariners seeking the harbor of civil lib
erty and local self>government can look
with hope. She is a nucleus upon which
the Democratic masses of the country
can rally. She is an example of the
success which may be achieved by a rigid
and unfaltering adherence to principle
She Is huge thorn in the Radical side
She IS IN impossible barrier to the meas
ures OF Capitalization, so long as she be
allowed to remain free. Hence the pur
pose to get her out of the way; to lay
upon ber the strong hand OF power; to
blot her star from the constellation of
freedom.

Mistaken Notions AbOuI Getting
Mormon WlNea

Salt Lake correspondence of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
There are thousands Of deluded bach.
elors in the outside world who think they
have nothing to do but come to Salt
Lake, and that the Mormons will furnish
them with ready made wives with the
same facility that q clothing merchant
could furnish them ready made clothing.
This is serious mistake, and the sfore-
said bachelors will find it out If they
should ever come here. Even a profess
ed Mormon has to earn by hard work
second wife before he can get her. At
conference times certain number Of
saints are called to go on missions to va
rious parts Of the earth, TO be absent
generally three years. Some go to the
Sandwich Islands. others to Australia,
some to England, and others to different
European countries, chiefly Denmark,
Norway and Sweden. II these mission
aries are faithful and make converts,
upon their return TO Salt Lake. if they
so desire it, they can have an additional
wife by applying to the prophet, Brig
ham. IL such q case the mi=si ouaries
usually pick out some SISTER" whom
! they Converted during their absence, and
between whom according to the spirit,
there is decided affinity" As to the
Gentle bachelor, this is the poorest
country in the world for him. for should
he attempt to play the role of seducer.
or even lover, to any of the Mormon
girls. q thousand eyes are upon him, and
his life is at stake every movement he
makes. Every Mormon is a policeman,
ever watchful Of the households Of his
brother saints, and woe to the intruder
who foolishly invades any sanity abode
with evil intent. Knowing this, the Gen
tile bachelors are very cautious, and they
consider life even sweeter than stolen
sweets from Mormon maidens.

Interesting Facts.

The Commissioner of Education has
prepared series of statistics to be EN-
bodied in his annual report, setting forth
the relation of education to crime in the
New England States. From this it APP
pears, first. that eighty per cent. of the
criminals IN those States have DO educa
tion. or not sufficient to serve them a
valuable purpose in life second. eighty
to ninety per cent of the criminals have
never learned any trade, nor are they
master of any skilled labor ; third. not
far from seventy FIVE per cent. Of the
crimes committed are by persons of for
eigu extraction, born themselves abroad,
or their parents fourth. eighty to ninety
per cent of the criminals are intemper
