Judge Davis.

The constant fings Of the Radical press at
Judge Davis indicate that they apprehend he
is going to be tho candidate Of somebody else
besides the Labor Convention. They would
not open so heavy fire upon the nominees Of
that assemblage, if they did not look upon them
as the advance guard Of formidable demon
s,ratiou. They are beginning to fear that the
Cincinnati Convention and the Democratic
Convention will unite on the Labor Convention
ticket. We know not how that may be, but
fit ever occurs, nothing but Grants bayonets
can save him. That be will use them pretty
freely in such contingency, and tha: the
South viii see sights in the way Of Ku-Klux
arrests, compared with which its past has been
child's play, we entertain no manner Of doubt.
Grant was promised a second term by Forney
& Co., when he accepted the first nomination,
aud be is going to eight it cut on that line.

DR.. Smith, Of Baltimore, at the head of tie
profession in that city, in letter on the sub
jet Of smallpox, says that vaccination is a sure
preventive; that if it be repeated as long as it
produces its characteristic effects, it is sure
preventive Of varioloid and that though there
is possibility Of what deters many from vac
cination, the transferring Of other diseases with
vaccine matter, yet the danger is infinitely
small in comparison with the protective char
acter Of vaccination.

tons were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, Since the last regular meeting Of our

Editors Free Press, Charisstocn, w. Va.
Dear Sirs: Ia your paper Of March 9th, alter
quoting portion Of nv official report to the Cen
eral Superintendent of Public Schools, you ask
how it was that I allowed the colored children of
Bolivar and Harper's Ferry, with my gushing ten
derness for them, TO be cheated out of their entire
portion Of the school fund. If you had looked at
an article from the pen Of my excellent successor,
in the same issue of your paper, you would have
found an answer 20 your question, IN those words:
The Free Schools of each Township are entirely
controlled by its Board of Education" Lest this
may not be satisfactory, send you to-day, copy
Of Chapter XIV of the Code Of W. Va. you will
take the trouble to read this much nege dOcu-
mcnt think you will believe me when say that
the reason why did not give the colOred children
their portion of the School fund, and the reason
why did not have well graded schools for the
white children established at CharlestOwn, Boil
var and Shepherdstown, was simply, because had
no power 20 do it.
So far as "gushing tenderness" is concerned,
have only to say that, have been taught by the
masters Of the Political School to which | belong,
viz: Webster, Clay, Fessenden, that civil officers
Of all grades should execute the law, as they find

Messrs. II. n. & W. W. b. Gallaher.
1t was Mr.. Bracket, not ourselves, that
stated that the colored children of Harper's
Ferry and Bolivar we're cheated ont of their
entire portion of the school fund We did
not aver that they were cheated by Mr. Brack-
EFT, but called upon him as Superintendent Of
Schools and Charley on the spot as one
likely to know, if he knee they 'cere cheated,
how aud by whom it was done. His reply by
implication charges tie cheating upon the
Board Of Education Of Bolivar Township.
Let US know, Mr.. Bracket, who composed
said Board. We would also suggest that you
commend to their consideration some proyi-
sions of the much neglected" Code to which
YOU invite our attention.
If Mr.. Bracket: is iudisposed to give the
reader the information on this point, probably
Capt. Grub, quite active as school officer
about hat time, will arise to explain"

"A fire occurred at Waihee last week, by which
considerable cane was destroyed belonging to the
Waihee Mill, under the management of Mr.. n. W.

On Tuesday, the 14th inst, there was a heavy
shower of rain at Wailuku, causing the streams to
rise suddenly. In crossing one of the small streams
between WaIkapu and Wailuku, Mr.. Chas. A. Bailey
missed his footing, and such was the power of the
flood that he was carried some distance before get
ting out, and then found that his boots were ripped
of his feet. He luckily escaped without any hurt

On Sunday last. the house of Mr.. VIM. Graham

$3.50. The thief-a native-was seen going in

soon after. On Wednesday he was a~rraigned before
Judge Daniels, the District Justice, when he was
fined SO and So costs, and sentenced TO nine
months Imprisonment at hard labor. He was only a
youth, apparently under fifteen years of age.

The QUEENS BIRTH-DAY.-Yesterday was the an
niversary of the birthday OF Her Most Gracious
Majesty. Queen Victoria. In recognition of the
day, the u. S. S. NdrrdgGnSett was dressed very
handsomely with nags. aud on shore the national
ensigns were displayed over the Government build
ings. Consular Offices. etc. Not only are all true
Britons proud of the noble lady who occupies the
throne of the great empire, but all other rationale
ties delight to do her honor. At the Consulate,
Theophilus II. Davies. Esq, who recently was APP
pointment as Vice Consul for Honolulu, received
The cOngratulatOry calls of his fellow countrymen
and others. Mr.. Davies did the honors in a style of
generous hospitality and with a hearty old time
English welcome that made bis numerous visitors
feel quite at home. In appetizing and luxurious
lunch was spread and abundance of the finest and
most recherche wines were provided. not forgetting
an E~nglishman's standby, without which any feast
would be incomplete-good beer. Altogether, it
was one of the most pleasant and social reunions
seen on Queen street for many a day, and we wish
Mr.. Davies many happy returns of the suspicious oc-
casiOu
