4 few weeks ago news came from the
West, from the new and prosperous terri
tory of Montana that the people had be-
come tired of Democratic corruption, and
had voted for Republican Congressman
Now the news flashes over the wires from
the golden State, that the Republicans have
elected their candidate for Governor by
from two to three thousand majority. AT
the last election for Governor, the Demo
Gratis carried the State by majority of
7,54S. This don't look much like disin-
Iteration.

COMPARE THE "FRUITs. !"

Those of the Democratic newspapers that
have stood out as the apolOgists and de-
tenders of the Tammany ring in its un-
blushing usurpations and unparalleled
frauds, attempt to break the force of the
blow such state of affairs inficts upon
their party by arraigning the Republican
party for similar frauds in the South.
There are explanations for misgovern-
ment in the South which eXonerate the
Republican party, as party, from respon-
sibilitv therefor Explanations that do
not and caHsaot be be true in New York.
The reconstruction of the Southern States
was naturally one of the most difficult
problems ever presented to political par
ty in the history of this government. The
reconstruction first accomplished was inev-
itably superficial and imperfect work.
The Republican party was divided as to
the best policy to pursue. The work it ac-
complished was wrought in the heat OF
passion and prejudice which the war pro-
voked. 1t was work done amid desola-
ton and with such aid as could be COM
manded.
In carrying out the policy of reconstruc-
ton decided upon by Congress, the re-or-
ganized governments found on the one hand
the stubborn, incorporating bitter OPP
position of unrepentant enemies, and on
the other the ambitious adventures who
ALWAYS follow in the wake of armies to
fatten upon the miseries they unavoidably
entail. With these aids, in some in
stances incompetent, and in others corrupt
men secured position, and bad government
often followed. But no sane man would
Judge the Republican party by govern
ments founded and administered under
such circumstances.
In many of the Southern States the cor
ruption that existed was shared as much
by Democrats as by Republicans. Ii the
corruption in Tennessee could be disclosed,
if would be found that stolen mon
les went into the hands of rebels and
Democrats oftener than in the pockets of
Renublicans. The same is true of North
Carolina and Georgia 1t is eminently
true of Tennessee, for the last Democratic
Legislature dared not begin general and
impartial investigation. They began it but
feared to carry it through and if the Demo-
cratic newspaper writer of this city has
any recollections at all of the few days be
attended the deliberations of the last Legis-
Iature. no one knows the truth of our de-
1aration better than he.
But the fruits" of Republican rule are
70 be determined by its record in States
where it has been controlled by its leaders,
and upon the traditional policy Of the
party. The incompetent administrations
IN the South have met with no severer de-
nunciations than from the leaders and
press of the Republican party. They have
not defended corruption in the South, OF
anywhere, but have boldly denounced it
and exposed it. a|t
What, on the other hand, is the record
of Democracy Take its administration
in the Empire State of the Union, in a
time of profound peace, where its leaders
have been untrammeled, and where it has

had no extraordinary difficulties to over
come. While in the South some State
| debts have been increased by incompetent
| rulers in building railroads and encourage
| ing'internal improvements, in New York,
| the CITY and State debts have been in
creased by downright robbery and UiUdiny,
and the punishment of the guilty parties
prevented by corrupt courts and corrupt
| high officials. While corruption in COM
| paratively limited form under Republican
! rule has been exposed and punished by its
! own press and leaders, robbery and usur-
patton on an unparalleled scale under
Democratic administration, has been pro-
tected and defended by venal press and
cowardly, truculent leaders. While mis-
rule under Republican ascendancy has
been on the skirmish line, in the
advanced posts of the great army plum
dering and rascality on a magnificent
scale has characterized Democratic rule in
the very stronghold of its forces-in the
Ring that dictated the nominations of the
Democratic National Convention and con-
trolls the whole machinery of the party in
the metropolis of the continent and in the
first State of the Union. Corruption there
means something. 1t is the result of the
settled policy of the party-a part of its
scheme for buying its way into
national ascendancy and something
of what we have right to expect, if
it succeeds.
If this comparison of records is agreeable
the opposition are welcome to such COM
fort as it affords.
ONE very gratifying feature connected
with the opening of our public schools is,
that the children of all classes attend them.
They are not patronized only by those who
cannot send to the paid schools. This is
as it should be. These schools are paid for
by the taxpayers, and their patrons are
not awaiting themselves of public charity
in any sense. This notion must be done
away with at the very beginning, and the
best way to do it will be for all citizens to
patronize them. The best way to make
education general is to make our public
schools so good that every citizen will en-
courage and endorse them by patronizing
them. We understand some of the schools
are crowded and cannot admit more. This
is gratifying, but should spur the Commits
sioners to provide, if possible, greater ac-

Escaped Convict Shot.

This morning Deputy Sheriff Cranmer,
armed with requisition from the Gov
ernor of Mississippi for the body of a
negro named George Washington alias

ington fed through the back lot and hid
himself in an out house, but the Deputy
Sheriff walked in upon him and made
the arrest. Both shots took effect in the
back of the negro, just above the right
hip, the balls lodging in the muscles Of
the stomach in front. The wounded
man was conveyed to the county jail
and will be sent back to the Mississippi
penitentiary in few days. he is des-
perate character, and escaped from the
penitentiary after ASSEMBLING one of the
guards and beating him terribly. He
says he never would have been captured
had not his wounds prevented him from
running any further.
