The ChOrpenning.BiaCk
swim die,

There is, we presume, very lit,l
doubt but that there has been a des.
perate attempt at huge steal in Chor
penning case, which has made SO much
excitement in Washington and else
where, within few weeks past but
who is responsible for the inaugura'
ton Of the steal seems to have been
forgotten by the Democratic poli,i-
clans, who are now shouting fraud
and corruption and charging it to the
present administration. 1t originated
under the Old regime when slavery
democracy and stealing were the Or
der OF the administration, aud when
negroes had "no rights which
white men are bound to respect ,
Then no democrat questioned the
" claims" that came through Demo
cratic officials or Democratic lobby lists.
Let us 20 back lltle.

Happiness ruled the city yesterday
AFTER the news of the safe arrival OF

suspense had wrought the public mind
up to painful intensity. There

the fate Of the Tennessee absorbed
,ovsry other topic. There was no; a
chord iu'.he Americao heart that was
not touched 10 these hours Of anxious
solicitude. There was the true-hear-
ted Ben Wade, the President Of the
Commission, and his associates, DR.

family, that had scot him forth ask.

A BRUTAL TEAcHgR.-Easton

A BRUTAL TEAcurR.-Easton has
had O sensation caused by ouirag, ous
cruelty towards an invalid pupil. The
boy, about fourteen years old, the
subject Of punishment has, for several
years past, been afflicted with St vi
tus' dance. and at times would laugh
quite heartily without any apparent
cause. Just before the close vi school
one afternoon, the boy had one OF
these spells aud ~, having the power
to stop when ordered to do 20. by hi.
teacher, was rudely seized by tbr
breast Of his coat, ani numerically
beaten with hickory stick, and then
taken To the head of the stairs out
side the building, where he was al
lowed TO remain in the cold while the
teacher unfeelIngly went home. Som,
oi the little fellows comrades tried tC
cary the boy to his home us he was
unable to walk, but not being able to
do so, Mr.. Derr, the father, was oo,i'
fed, and when he arrived NJ the schoo
house the child was found nearly iro-
geo. bis arms risiily folded, with h''
head resting upon them. The repor'
porter OF the Erpress next morning
noticed on the child's body the fnse
marks Of the brute, where he grasped
him, and the long black stripes eve
the back, caused by the hickory stuck
What makes the matter still wors,
/ is, that the teacher had been previ
ously notified of the child's aill elton
From the fact that the school earc
showed the conduct OF the boy to have
been No. duiins the month just
pa, t, there is no, shadow OF au ex
cusc tor the brutal conduct above de-
scr,bed.
