in 1870, the schools had increased to LAOS,
and the pupils to Al, 573! All this we CLEAN
from Mr.. Hoar's tables, which demonstrate
that under the most adverse circumstances,
family education is every day improving, and
hence, according to his own logic, the less
necessity form fact, the absolute mischief
of-thc interference Of the State. There are,
we repeat, 130, 900 more children voluntarily
educated in the Southern States to-day than
there were ten years ago When the losses
resulting from civil war and the disturbed
condition of the South, occasioncd by recon-
struction and military rule, during the last
six years, are taken into account, this result
may be considered wonderful. If Mr.. Hoar
and his Radical abettors would honestly say
that their scheme was nothing more than a
Freedmen's Bureau redivivus, there would
be some reason Or plausibility in it; but they
mingle up white and black, and, making an
average, draw differences which are utterly
inconsequental as affecting either race
There is neither philanthropy nor statesman
ship in this scheme, and the impudence with
which, Us q matter of constitutional compe-
tency, it is urged, is beyond all comprchen-
sion

The Cost Of Hanging Free American Of
African Descent.

A few weeks since the Bangor Wing pub
lshed the alleged items of the Shcriff's bill
for executing Clifton Harris, making tho
whole amount S31l.58. Sheriff Crosse writes
to us that the facts in the case are as follows: :
lie was directed by executive warrant to ex-
ecute Harris on the 18th Of February. After
nearly all the preparations had been made,
the prisoner was reprieved. Tho execution
was then ordered for March 18th, when it
took place. In the absence of any known
precedent for making the bill, Mr. Grose
made memorandum for the Governor ana
Council stating what he had paid, and what
he had not, and asking that the bill might
be corrected, as to them might seem right
and proper. They made and ordered the
payment of the following bill

THE LITTLE CHURCH ROUND THE COR
MER

The above heading, by q singular combin-
alton Of circumstances, a contrast between
bigotry and true Christianity, has become one
of the pet phrases of the day. 1t happens in
this way. Mr. Holland, an actor Of the city
of New York, of great purity Of character,
and endeared to its public, died suddenly
His friends applied to the pastor of a well
known church to have the funeral services
performed in the edifce. This was refused,
the pastor adding "there is a little church
round the corner that may accommodate
you" To that little church the mourners
Went and found in the preacher devout
and sympathizing Christian. At the funeral
it was crowded with the beauty, fashion,
wealth and talent of the city. The story was
told in the papers, and alluded to from the
stage. An elegant Bible was presented to
the little church round the corner by the
Dramatic Association, and valuable presents
flowed in continually. It is now proposed
to decorate the building in manner sur
passed by no church editice in the land The
following are specimens Of the daily reports
in the papers concerning the matter.
SIR: The Little Church Round the Corner
should be the granlest church in our city 70 eff
feet this object am willing and ready to present
$4,000. | greatly admire the Rev. DR.. Hough ton
and | trust he may find no difficulty in IA ising
sufficient funds to accomplish this purpose.

{ church fOJInV the cOrnnrD New York
The Cincinnati entertainment for the benefit of
the ''litte church round the corner" on Thursday
was an immense success. The seats were all sold
before 10 O'Clock in the morning, and hundreds
were resoll at s. each. The hall, printing, nd
yertsing, gas and other usual expenses ere free,
and the net receipts will be nearly $4,000.
So much for the bigotry and Intolerance of
one preacher, who forgot both the precept
and practice Of his Divine Master.

NEWS FROM THE TENNESSEE.

SAN DuMlNGo. Feb 8 The Commission
arrived here from SANTANA Bay yesterday,
Every one connected with the party i iii eX-
cellcnt health. 4 want Of coaling facilities
detained the ship six days at Samana
The Commission found the inhabitants of
that peninsula very generally in favor Of an
nexation. A full investigation made into
the ownership of the land around the harbor
showed that no United States official is in
volyel in any private transaction there
whatever. Fabens and associates and O'Sul-
livan have Il perpetual lease at nominal
price Of nearly all of the available water
front for large vessels around the harbor of
SANTANA. There is no valuable mineral in
that section
The Commission landed here THIS morning
and was formally received hr President
Baez. Mr.. Wade explained its character
and object to Bae2, and Baez ana hs cabinet
gave u cordial welcome President Baez
said that peace and / stable government
would follow II union with the United
States The people were I'LL anxious for the
union. Cabral had no Dominicans with him
The commanders of the force he was sup
posed to command We're IIaytiens and lIayt
was the real mover in the whole matter
Tie had information that IN incursinn was to
be made while the Commission wa5 here To
ihllutncc thclll, anu from ms agents nc II az
learned the whole movement He expressed
the hope that the Commission would exam
inc all classes and promised to extend every
facility.
Five Of the party came across the Island
from SANTANA to this place. The Commits
sion find thus tar no appearance Of public
disturbances OF dlssenslon. The season is
very healthy. The officers and crew Of the
United States Steamers Tennessee, Nantlsk-
ct and Yantic, now in this h;trbor IRE all
well. The Commission will be here il week
longer and will probably visit aqua next
The stories Of trouble are untrue The COM

tertiary. This was the feather you stuck in his
cap; for this you think him entitled to the ''gratc-
full admiration of his loyal countrymen.' Isought
him, by showing that the money was paid accord
ing to law, on claim satisfactorily established,
out of money regularly appropriated to that pur-
pose. l tried to prove that it was not an embez-
Element and that there was nothing criminal in it
But this took the loyalty out OF it, and left it with
out anv merit in your eyes. Therefore you fly into
passion and become abusive, which shows that
your moral perceptions are very much distorted
and makes me fear indeed that you are altogether
incorrigible.
This paper has grown much longer than in
tended to make it, and have no space for the eX-
hortations | meant to give YOU in conclusion. |
leave you, to your own reflections.

The terrible murder, alluded to in the let
ter from jacksonville Florida, on the outside
Of this paper, is thus described in a local
paper
MIR. Joseph Pagan, from New York who is fore
man at Fairchld,' Mills and has occupied that po-
sitlon for two years past, resided in small house
near the null, his family consisting of himself wife
and two children-Catharne aged six and Fannie
aged four years-and Miss Rosanna Carlind, his
wfe's sister, young lady of twenty-five.
Saturday evening about half past six O'Clock, MI
Pagan and his wife came to the city, leaving the
house and children in charge of Mis-, Carna ana
returned home about ten o'clock. On reaching the
house, about half past ten O'clock, a most horrible
sight met their view. The dead body of Miss Car
lind was found lying across the door SILL between
the dining room and IN adjoining bedroom, her
head fearuy cut and disfgured. The body of thu
eldest child, Catherine, next found lying on
the bed in another ROOM her head also cut almost
to pieces, and the body Of the youngest child Fan
ME, in another room, also lying on the bed with
two frighttul cuts across the head and the axe
which had done the murderous work still remain
ing i'll the last wound. The rooms We're bespattel-
Ell with blood and the bloody tracks of the murder
er disigured the floor. a secretary standing in
the sitting ROOM had been broken open and $500
in money and two gold watches taken and the
house had apparently been ransacked for plumber

THE CANAAN EXTENSION.

Al the town meeting on Saturday, the
people of Canaan voted $Gl 900 il ail Of the
extension Of the railroad from this city.
Private subscriptions will make the amount
$4,000, which by bonding the road, will
suffice to build it. The subscriptions of
Hartland and St. Adams are already on the
books OF the company for about 800 GOO
The prospect Of extending the road 10 those
towns is excellent.
