TRUE TO MS INSTINCTS.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "a
few days after the capture of Fort
Sumter, in April, 1851, when the voice
of the whole country was for war, we
had conversation with gentleman who
was an officer in the Mexican war, and
who, besides, in Ohio, has obtained emf
nepce as a civilian, that we have often
thought of since. Said he to US: Il
saw to-day an old comrade of mine il
Mexico, West Pointer, but who resigned
his position in the army few years ago.
l asked him why he was not in uniform,
and expressed my surprise that he was
not already Colonel or General of Vol
unteers. His reply was "T think you
and have had fighting enough. What
l want in this war is place by which l
can make some money" He sought to
get that place here He made an effort
to be selected by the Government as q
buyer of horses, but failed. He next
endeavored TO borrow a few hundred
dollars of military friend of ours, then
and now in the regular army, for the pur-
pose of entering into a business where he
would get army patronage. Being re-
fused, he applied, as we understand, to
Gen. Burns for a position in the Com
misarY Department in this city, but failed
also in getting it. There being nothing
here to suit him, he wendell his way
back TO Illinois, and became a sort of
Secretary to Gov. Yates, and, everything
else being unsuccessful, he chose at last
to go into the army. But he did not
want to go where there was fighting at
all. 1t was money he was after, and
money be has made as General and Presi-
dent of the United States. If he had OBJ
tanned the position he asked for, as a
buyer of horses, the country would have
had a competent, if not sn honest man in
that place, and we should not now have
had a bad President, who makes the fill
ing Of his purse his principal business"

ON the lst inst. Hon. Joseph Z. Brown,
President of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad under the late lease, paid TO the
Treasurer of the State of Georgia $25, 600,
the am punt of the rent of the road for
January. Under Radical management
the road had not paid cent into the
Treasury of the State for many months.
But this is not all, for it appears not to
have even paid its expenses The At
lsnta Constitution states that up to the
9th inst, ''the Treasurer has paid one
hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars
so far of claims against the State Rosd; :"
and that 'the stream seems to be broad
ming every day."

WHEREVER the Radicals have had con-
troll of the South profligacy and corrup
ton appears TO have been the rule. A
special committee of the House of Rep
resentatives of North Carolina, appointed
to investigate the issue of bonds to the
western division of the Western North
Carolina railroad, have reported that
Gov. Holden ordered two millions six
hundred and sixty six thousand dollars of
bonds to be issued to the plunderers who
had the control Of that road, without any
authority of law. Holden claimed that
certificate Of authority was made
and filed in the Executive office, and or
dered 10 be recorded, but there is no
trace to be found of any such document
on record, although the office was in his
own possession. The conclusion is there
fore inevitable, that the issue was fraudu-
lent.

The Radicals are trying to force negro
equality upon the people of the District
of Columbia, through the passage by
Congress of a bill regulating the organi-
zstion and conduct of the public schools
in the district, providing for mixed schools
where white and negro children could he
educated together. This bill was before
the Senate on the Sth inst, when Revels,
the negro Senator from Mississippi, OPP
posed the bill "becsuse he was satisfied
that the passage by Congress of such
law would increase the prejudice of the
white man for the black, which preiu-
dice, he was sorry to say, seemed to be
on the increase" He also said: "Mixed
schools, churches, etc, will not tend to
DO away with the prejudice, and be con
cluded by saying he would abandon the
Republican party, if they were to attempt
to enforce or enact laws which he be
Level would be damage to the colored
people ReVels has shown himself to
be sensible in this respect at least.

LOCAL MATTERS.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
A GLORIOUS CONSERVATIVE
a. TRIUMPH.
TWENTY: SIX CONSERVATIVES AND ONLl
FOUR RADICALS ELECTED.
Heavy Majorities Everywhere.

The election for members of the City
Council, which took place yesterday, was
one of unusual interest, in view OF the fact
that there has recently been re-division
of the wards OF the city, and that the
membership of the Council has been
increased from twenty-five to thirty.
1t was also looked forward to with more
than ordinary solcitude, because Of the
-indcfatigable efforts Of the unscrupulous
leaders of the Radical party to divide the
Conservative vote. The result proves those
efforts to have met the miserable failure
which they deserve, for the Conservatives
have not only swept the city, but by ma
jority largely in excess Of that Of any pre-
vious election.
Monroe Ward, where the enemy has hith-
erto held undisputed sway, comes out now
as the banner Ward, with an average Con-
servative majority of five hundred. Clay
Ward wheels into line with good, fat figures
in our favor, notwithstanding threatened
dissensions and independent candidates.
Madison, ever reliable, toes the mark with
q straight Conservative ticket. Jefferson
comes out nobly, and yields the palm to
none. Little Marshall sends a thorough Con-
servatiYe delegation, notwithstanding CHM
borazo, and Jackson Ward, though over
powered by the blacks, affords us guar
antee that she may be relied on next fall to
swell by several hundred votes the majority
of our candidates for the Legislature. d..
Below will be found the figures as re-
ceived ut the headquarters of the City Con-
scrvatve Central Committee last night:

PUEBLO INSTRUCTION.
schoo1 Population OF Counties and
Second ApportfoHznens.' -

/. The Superintendent Of Public Instruc.
tton has just issued the two, tables pub.
lished below The first gives the school
population Of all the counties and cities OF
the State from which census returns have
been received since the 10Th of April, and
the amount Of money coming to each from
the State school fund then ready for distri-
button. The second shows the amount as
signed to each county and city Except Nor
folk city and Northampton county,, at the
rate of 40 cents for every person between
the ages Of and Il years, from the funds
s,otD ready to be distributed. The counties
and cities in the first table have never been
included in any previous apportionment.
Those county superintendents who do
not propose to depart from the plan of ap-
portioning the amounts given below among
the school districts in the ratio of the school
population need not forward their schemes
of apporUlonment to the State superintend-.
ent's office for approval, but may consider
them as already approved, and at once in
struct the treasurers to draw for the money.
Other county superintendents will forward
their schemes as usual. The money will be
subject to the order of the treasurers on
and after the 1st of juno.

CAPTURE OF WILD MAN.-Sometime
before the 18th OF this month the attention
of persons living near the line of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railroad, and in the neigh
borhood of Backbone cut, had been di-
rectcd to q colored man who seemed to be
lodging about the woods and unwilling to
be seen. On Wednesday week he ap-
preached too near the hands Of Mr. Mason,
who were at work on the railroad, who, to
their astonishment, found the man to be as
naked as when he came into the world. He
was arrested by them, but failed to answer
a single question, he being either unable
or unwilling. Every motion and gesture,
and the expression of the fellows eyes,
proved conclusivcly that he was not only
an idiot, but perfectly wild. He was en-
tirey unable to give an account Of himself,
and did not even know his name. The only
sound he could make resembled the jabber
of monkeys. He was taken in charge, and
the proper authorities will probably send
him TO luuatic asylum. il-:

We reject no boy who Is really an object
or our benefaction. Yet, we have but
fhirty-seven boys in the asylum at present
It Is true, we are constantly sending them
OUT 10 good homes and trades; but, con.
slderlng the desolation Of war and the poy-
erty OF our whole people, there ought to
De IN this institution 100 children. I am
| qulte sure they would be supported. In
This, my church, when We are assembled,
man Of Christian faith and Christian
courage some years ago conceived the bold,
and what some people would call the rash,
idea OF founding an orphan home, to be
| supported by the members Of the church
alone. l have often feared myself, espe-
cially since the war, for its continued ex.
lStence but now, by liberal bequest
made it, this society, SO small and feeble In
its beginning, will grow and prosper, and
bless hundreds and thousands of unborn
children long after its founder Is dead and
forgot: Christians often dishonor God more
by their downright disbelief than by active
transgressions. w. ....

There is much trpth in the saying, " Edu-

not make the man, education with early
religious training will, If it be possible to
make man OF the material.
There was no case of serious illness In
the asylum during the year, and but one
death in six years. This boy was sick when
received, and died in few days from a
congesLve chill, contracted, evidently, be-
fore he entered the asylum. In mentioning
these facts TO an intelligent friend, he re-
marked :" "Surely, there must have been a
special Providence in this"
ALI persons, whether ladies or gentlemen,
can become members of this society by SUBJ

In the year preceding the whole expense
OF maintaining the asylum was S3,10O.
From the report OF the treasurer find
that the whole amount receiyed was s., ,964.
and the amount expended, ,.$3,773. OF this
sum, 1887 was for the payment OF property,
&C.; making the cost Of maintaining the
institution S2,936.
