reached the city this morning that a terri
BILE accident had occurred on the Chesa-

more than once by the train. The cause of
the accident has not yet been positively as
certained. tlgW

THE SCHOOL CENsUs.-As we stated a
few days ago, Alfred Moses, secretary of
the school board, and his deputies, are now
engaged in taking an enumeration of the
school population of the city. Messrs. S.
L. Pendleton, L. P. Crump, w. +. Fox,
J. II. Peay, Jr., and Rev. W. B. McGilo-
ray are the authorized deputies. This
enumeration is simply to ascertain the
school population, upon which is to be
based the apportionment of the school fund,
and has nothing whatever to do with taxa
ton of any sort. We are thus explicit
upon this point, in as much as the appre-
hension prevails, especially among some of
the colored people, that these deputies are
assessors Of taxes, which is not the case.
The names of all persons within the city
limits, between five and twenty-one years
of age, should be promptly and unhesitat-
ingly returned to them, on application.

Nassau, July 9.-The monument to the
great German statesman, Stein, was un-
yelled in this city to-day. The
took place in the presence of the Emperor
and Empress of Germany, and Prince
Frederick William and the chief dignita-
ries of the court and empire. The specta-
Gle was grand and imposing, and was wit
messed by vast crowds of people from all
parts of Europe. Hon. George Bancroft.
the American Minister, who was present.
was invited to address the assembly. He
gave an eloquent account of the career of
the man whose memory Germany to-day
celebrated. Stein, he said, first kindled
the idea of German unity, and time had
famed the spark into a flame. To him
Germany owed The proud position she now
held among the nations ofthe earth.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

1t is mournful to see a great paper like
the New York Tribune stoop to the degrad-
ing level of bar-room politics in a vain hope
to carry its ends. 5t 1914.
Its editorial columns reck to-day with
reckless assertions and low personal as
saults. Notably false and wicked among
these, is an article on the canvass in North
Carolina, in which the Republicans are rep
resented as intending to make numerous
arrests in order to terrorize the people and
make fees. 1t is stated that the United
States Marshal has carried $1,000 0 there
ostensibly to pay court expenses. 81 twill
be easy, says the Tribune, to divert this to
electioneering purposes. -
The plan is to make a large number of
arrests and then bring in fictitious bills for
fees and terrorize the close counties. Now
we can conceive of no meaner and more
cowardly mode of uttering a libel than the
above. The whole charge is shamelessly
false and baseless. The Tribune affects to
believe that a fragrant assault is to be made
upon the b~allot-box. Thanks to Republic
can forecast cvery ballot-bor IN this broad
land may be protected, By tpo official wit-
nesses, one from each party, upon the re-
quest of ten citizens. Not a dollar Of mon
ey belonging to the government will be spent
in North Carolina for electioneering. We
defy the Tribune to prove its charges, or to
retract them Its attempt to create bad
blood in North Carolina by limitations of
this kind is worthy only of the Tammany
Ring, whose trump card in politics the
Tribune seems to have borrowed.

POLITICAL I

The one term principle, says the Buff
falo IN. W Eapress, is what Horace Gree
ley considers to be his stronghold. lie is
satisfied that the abuses in tho public SER
vice are all due to the reelection Of good
Presidents, such men, for instance as WASH
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, jack
son and Lincoln. There is a man now in
the Chief Magistrates chair who has served
the people quite as well as did any one of the
noble men whom we have just named. I'm
less, therefore, says the editorial candidate,
you would cause the country to suffer as
it did under the second terms of these seven
great men, turn out the honest, faithful
and capable President and put Horace
Greeley in his place. Horace is modest as
well as honest
In a speech delivered at Cleveland,
Ohio a few evenings since, Hon. R. G..
Kirk, late Minister to the Argentine Re-
public, mentioned an act of kindness per-
formed by President Grant toward certain
ex-rebels, which is not generally known.
After the war, q few hundred Southern
men, feeling that they could not live under
the United States Government, went to
Brazil withtheir families. In a short time
many of them became reduced to a condition
of absolute starvation, and were eager to
get back to the United States, but were un-
able to do so. In this situation President
Grant ordered that all who wishedt to return
should be transported on Government steam
crs, free of expense, and nearly all of them
thus found their way back. 3 4a.s
JUDGMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES
FOR $100,000.-In the case of the United
States against the trustees of Lawrence p.
Bayne u Co., in the Circuit court of the
United States sitting in equity, heretofore
reported, Judge Giles gave the decision oil
the court. Judge Bond concurring.
. The court decided that the United States
are creditors of L. P. Bayne q Co., to the
amount of 500, 900, and to that extent en-
titled to a priority over the private and pre-
ferred creditors in the distribution of the
funds in the hands Of the trustees under
the deed of trust, which priority, it is
stated, will absorb the entire fund, the as.
sests not amounting to over sec, 900.
The grounds of the liability of Bayne &
| Co., as debtors to the United States, as
| stated by the court, are First, that trans
fer of 5000, 900 on the Goth of April, 1866,
by Lieutenant Colonel Paulding, paymas-
ter U. s. A., from the First National
Bank Of Washington cityto the Merchants
National Bank of the same city was illegal,
being without the sanction ofthe Secretary
of War /; secondly, that the loan by the
bank the same day to Bayne IL Co. was
with knowledge by Bayne q Co. or then
agent that the funds so loaned were those
transferred by Colonel Paulding, and
that, therefore, the government is entitled
to follow its funds into Bayne 4 Co..
hands. 1t is understood that the case will
be taken on appeal to the Supreme Cour
: Of the United tates.-BaAmore Sun.

WILLIAM AND MARY.-There is no
more important or valuable institution of
learning in our State than the College of
William and Mary, located in the ancient
city of Williamsburg. 1t was founded in
1893, and has for long years done noble
service in the education of the youth Of the
State. 1t is now more efficient and
thorough IN its training than ever, and,
ripe in years and experience, offers induce
ment surpassed by few institutions of the
kind in the United States. We commend
it to the attention Of the people Of Virginia
as eminently worthy of q generous and
substantial patronage at their hands.

NOMINATION OF MR.. srOwELL

AS will be seen by our telegraphic col
umns, Mr.. Stowell received the nomination
of the Republican Convention for the
Fourth district. The report also comes
that a small number of delegates withdrew,
and nominated Mr.. Porter. Mr.. Stowell
seems to have received nearly two-thirds
of the total vote Of the convention, and we
cannot imagine upon, what ground a bolt
can be made. While we detest the whole
caucus and convention system, and hope to
see a move Of all good men to destroy it,
he who enters a convention to secure a
nomination as h~onorably bound TO abide By
its decision. Mr.. Porter has hitherto made
complaints hat he was not loyalty sup
ported in the party. We are not prepared
to see him bolt a regular nomination unless
the justification is very ample. We await
fullei news.
