How THE MONEY GoEs.--The Board of
Education recently advertised for bids for
stating the new school-houses, aud they
have given the contract to Col. Albert Ord
way, late Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, who was not the lowest but the high
est bidder. How can honest men do such
things? This contract was awarded to this
rising Democratic politician in thcface oftbe
fact that other responsible bids were before
the Board at the time, agreeing to do the
work for fifty cents per square less than
the amount agreed to be paid to Ordway.
The slate offered by both bids was of ex-
actly the same quality, and both from the
same vein in Buckingham county, and
the responsibility Of the lowest bidder
was not questioned. Why should Ordway
be paid for his past services

Outrageous Release Of Hazel.-Upon
ascertaining that Hazel, who recently escaped
from the Jail Of this city. had been arrested at
News ferry, Marshal Parker deputzed the
sheriff of Halifax county to take charge of and
bring him back to jail, and bad supposed Q
was in tho custody of the sheriff uotil this
morning. 1t has since been ascertalned that
he was released aud permitted to escape, al.
though by whom has not been ascertained. II
the people of Halifax are so prejudiced against
the government as to turn loose these outlaws
in their own community the consequences be
upon themselves.

The free-trade ideas of England do not
appear to have taken very deep root 10
the minds of her young aud lusty colonial
progeny. 1t is stated that the policy of
protection for native industry is very
rapidly gaining ground in Australia. and
that the watchword OF the recent elections
was demand for duty of twenty-five or
thirty per cent. on every imported article
which could be produced as well in the
colonies. The next colonial parliament is
expected to be strongly protectionist.

A CURIOUS feature OF Southern politics
is revealed in the Richmond Conservative
papers. A municipal election is shortly
to be held 10 that city, which, from the
tone of the journals, promises to be as ex
citing and hotly contested as if the fate Of
the nation hung upon its result. The
Conservative papers, in their appeals to
the "white" voters to register, after be-
seeching them personally by all "that is
sacred, profane, holy, or otherwise" ad.
dress themselves to their mothers, wives,
sisters, and daughters, who are asked to
see to it that their sons, husbands, brothers
aud fathers names are found euroled.
Such a persuasive campaign as this
ought surely to be rewarded with success !;
and if the Conservatives do not carry the
city after so supreme an effort, our faith iu
the Influence Of woman will be sadly
shaken. Our local Democracy, who are
SO hungry for the spoils of office, may
learn lesson from their Richmond
friends, and next fall convert the city cam
paign iuto purely family fight. Their
other tacties--ba ballot-box stuffing and pro-
testations of economy ARE too well known
aud guarded against to ever carry them
through - Washington Chronicle.

GENERAL NEWS.

The taxpayers convention, as it
called, assembled in South Carolina yes
terday.
The Southern newspapers general,
publish the Ku-Klux bill, and the NOR,
candid of them admit the existence O
that murderous band
The Mobile Register, for the enlighten
n,ent of the Southern Democracy, eact
day makes room Oh its fourth page for th,
constitution of the United States, omitting
however, the thirteenth, fourteenth, anc
fifteenth amendments.
A United States commission is taking
bales of negro testimony on Ku-KluS
ouuages in Jefferson county, Ga and
shipping it North for market. The
Savannah Nc,cs suggests that, if it is true
it will be we'll for the men who are yenti-
lating it to look tn their own safety.
Tho Charleston Courier accepts the
amendments to the constitution as accom-
plished facts, and sees no prospect of relief
from the Supreme court. 1t urges the
Democracy to incorporate these articles
utO tutli POlttlCht Cltcuy II tDcy udVG aDH
desire to elect the president in 1872.
The Cincinnati Commercial, in an arti-
Gle of column aud a half, presses the
claims of Mr.. Robert B. Roosevelt, mem
ber Of Congress from New York, to the
honor OF the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency. The main couut in the
Commercials indictment seems to be that
Mr. Roosevelt is not fool. It's views as
to some other Democratic candidate are
discreetly left unspokeu.
The round figures of the railroad interest
are easily learned and remembered. The
whole length of all the railways 10 the
world is 100000 miles, The cost of the
same was in round plumbers ten billions of
dollars. Those of Great Britain are the
most costly, and those of the United States
the least SO. The railway system of the
world is supposed to give employment to
over one million persons.
A jury at Huntingdon, Tennessee, 10
which, we are informed by Nashville
paper, there were nine Democrats, has
convicted Democrat of that place of Ku-
kluxing, and he has been sent to the peni-
tentiary for ten years. If every Southern
community initiated the example of Hunt
ingdon, and if every Kuklux was so pun
ished, there would be no need for enforce
ment bills or military despotisms.
The Paducah Herald says: "We do
not believe that the question of the right
of secession has been settled by the sword
or by any of the fraudulent amendments
to the constitutions. That is a question
outside of, and, from its very nature, inca
pable of being settled in this way. 1t is
sovereign right, belonging to the States
which no earthly power can take from
them, except by utter ami hlation as
States.
"Now is the time to put in your early
spring candidates for the Presidency"
fhis is what the makers of political alma
lacs ought TO say, but they don't, meteor
ology having reference to the past and not
he future. We have COUNTED as many as
'ix candidates in one paper--not au extra
ordinary paper for presenting candidates,
'ither. One of the candidates mentioned
ived in Indiana, two in Massachusetts,
md the Others are equitably distributed to

"CHEsTER" AND THE MECHANICS UNIcN.
The Richmond correspondent of the Peters,
burg Hdex, under the signature of "Ches:-
ter" has written letter to that paper,
saying that "the President of the Union
has consented to call meeting OF his body
for Thursday night, and this is prelimi-
nary step, towards settling the uphappy
difficulties which have arisen between the
@ nservatives and the Mechanics Trades
Union"
Neither the president or the Union re-
cognize any difficulty between themselves
aud the Conservatives, or any other political
party. They claim to be independent of
both, and have submitted ticket, not to
parties for their endorsement, but to the
achole people. who are requested to unite
with them in electing the men chosen by
themselves, and we are assured will fear
lessly stand by their action. Ifrepudiated
by both parties, it will not change their
action, or if endorsed by either, it will still
be sustained by them.
Any statements to the contrary are gra.
tuitous and without foundation, and we
regret to find such persistence on the part
Of newspapers, as they. have exhibited, to
misrepresent the facts and prejudice the
public against the action of this body, Ger
tainly under no obligations to others than
themselves.
If "Chester" is disposed to deal fairly in
this natter he will at once correct the inn
pressions his letter has made and state
that no such arrangements are contem-
plated, as he has charged.
The intention of tie charge, that these
gentlemen have been misled and deluded,
IS too plain to deceive any one, aud we
are satisfied will not have the effect de-
sired.
They are quite old aud wise enough to
think for themselves, aud their doing SO is
the great cause of complaint found by
"Chester" and those who agree with him.
