The New York correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, reviewing the political sitaa-
ton in the Empire state, thinks enough repub-
heans may stay at home on election day to
cause democratic triumph, but believes that
such a result would not indicate that the reor-
gsnized democratic party could even now, carry
the state if the contest were of national scope,
and were between the principles about which
the two parties have heretsfore been divided.
That is to say, he is not able to figure out any
real access of strength to the democracy from
the fact that they carry an election In state or
two through the indifference of republicans.
Ohio and New York are both entirely safe for
the republican party as against the democratic
party in any national election in which the his
toricai principles of republcanism are at
stake.

We do not learn that any steps have yet been
taken to furnish our community with lectures
during the coming winter, except those to be
given by Professor Agassiz. The discOurses of
the latter will of course be appreciated and will

different auspices. and let us hope that those
who have charge of the matter will exercise
due discretion and prompt Judgment in their
selection of lecturers. Lecture lists frequently
include the names of persons who are wholly
united for the lyceum stage. Alecturer should
be able either to instruct ~ to amuse the public,
and when he can do neither should retire. Let
US have lecturers who If they cannot tell US
nothing new, can at least descant on common
place matters in such manner as to interest
their hearers.

Ihe authorities Of Dover, Delaware are going
through the farce Of trying on the charge OF
arson, Dr. West. who murdered a colored man
IN his employ, and afterwards skinned him, and
then set ire to his laboratory to conceal his
crime. He was acquitted of the charge of muir
der on the ground OF .'self-defence, ;" and will
Of course be acquitted of arson. The Whining
ton Commercial says the general impression is
that West cannot be convicted, and that he is
himself confident Of acquittsl. His acq Initial of
the charge of murder a disgrace to the
state, and would indicate that hereafter any
white man may murder with impunity in Della
ware, provided always his victim Is a colored
man

The shipments of Cumberland coal for the
week ending october IS amounted to 6S ,493 tons
! cwt., an increase of II ,359 tons Is cwt. over
the corresponding week of last year. For the
year TO that date 2,O69, 19G tons II cwt, showing
an increase over the same period in 1872 of
$50 ,s94 tons Is cwt.; increase in railroad ship
ments 3S5,6O1 tons II cwt-; decrease in canal
shipments 4, IO6 tons 10 cwt. The decrease In
canal shipments is of course owing to the bad
management Of the canal during the year.
Breaks and accidents of all kinds have been of
almost daily occurrence. and should the bottom
of the canal drop out il would occasion no sur
prise. Last year the total shipments by canal to
Georgetown were about 10000 tons, and from
the many promises made by the new manage
ment it was confidently expected that this year
the receipts would exceed 700 900 tons The
frequent suspensions of navigation, however,
have caused the shipments to fall far behind.
and as the line must soon close for the winter,
there is no hope that this years work will
exceed or even equal last years.

FINANCIAL ANp COMMERCIAL.

The New York Herald of yesterday has the
following regarding the transactions in Wall
street on Saturday: 1.-THE street to-day has
been full OF strange and inaescribable in
huehces. There has been nothing of purpose
elected, consequently nothing to call for alarm.
Those who, ranging themselves on the "bear'
side, have sold "shOrt" have done so simply in
obedience TO street rumors, and for the next
twenty-four hours they will be nervously await
ing the acme of the situation. Those who have
patiently awaited the developments of the
future are not likely to be disappointed because
prices are TOO low TO be natural. The market is
abDormaily weak, and the "bear" party are
poor. The issue at present Is between Wander
bit and the street.-The power of suppositi-
tious money On the one hand and the power of
multitude on the other, who propose to '.sell
what they do not own" and risk their credit
against his strength. This is only another
problem of the street, and it will be decided
during the next ten daysD

Justiee TO our Taxnaxers

If entirely in order, We should be glAI 20 call
the attention of the Cincinnati papers that have
had so much to say about the financial condi-
ton OF the public schools of Washington. to the
following paragraph from the American Esuea
tioHdi Monthly for November, under the head Of
"Ohio.-Cincinnsti.''
"The question OF continuing instruction in
German IN the public schools of Cincinnati Is
seriously discussed. the complaint against il
being the expense il entails. The Board has
virtually declared itself bankrupt. At its last
meeting the state of affairs was fully reviewed,
but the question was postponed fO- future de-
cisiOn. When il was taken up again the school
year was about to commence, and il was
deemed advisable to leave matters in st1fu quo"
Thus 1t will be seen that the prosperous and
wealthy city of Cincinnati has a bankrupt
school system, and is able to put forward no
for the existence of this state of affairs.
On the other hand the city of Washington, with
little wealth OF productive resources, has been
called upon to sustain the enormous burdens of
providing free education for the immense ICON
trsband" population thrown upon the city by
T. c war and also for the large number of chill
dTen OF government employees who are not tax
payers. To sustain this enormous load. and
build the new school houses fOunt imperative
the citizens of Washington are obliged to pay
school tax larger per head than that of anv
other city in the country. san Francisco not
excepted. Even this heavy tax has proved
inadequate TO pay the expenses of the con-
stantly-increasing number of schools. aud the
school fund is already in debt TO the District
treasury $4,000, while the school teachers have
been unpaid for some months. Would it not be
the fair thing for the papers of Cincinnati,
Philadelphia, New York, and other cities that
have crippled school treasures of their own, to
recognize the peculiar difficulties under which
the taxpayers of this District labor in having
to educate an abnormal and enormously dispro-
poItiOnate number of children, thrown upon
them by the e1igencies of the war, and through
the liberality of the system by which our school
rooms are opened to the children of non-tax-
payers temporarily resident in Washington?

"Who fired Richmond?" A story having been

that Kelsey "was killed by persons unknown to

Community. Z Il consists Of sboat eighty midi
viduals. onehalf Of whom sEe women Their

one selects partner, and the two i've together
90 husband and wife for four weeks, when .

that there shall be no special affection. for al
are "brothers and sisters" When children
are born, the mother 10 allowed to retain the
child but few weeks, when it 10 placed in tho
common nursery. and oil the . mothers" u the
establishment take turns in caring for these
/" children of the community" This strange
people came from Northern New Hampshire
about twelve years ago, whore the citizens
were unable to dislodge them under tho laws
of prostitution. and. the Legislature passed
special act which obliged them TO marry or
leave. A few Of them came quietly to Con-
necticut, selected beautiful farm Of about
200 acres, with . large dwelling house, pur-
chased it without stating what they desired it
for. and the 'family" took possession. The
Wallingford people prosecuted tho cOncern -
u house Of ill.fame, but could not convict them
under the existing laws. From that time the
has not been disturbed. and has
grown rich. The females dress in bloomer
costume, aud are seldom seen outside of their
home. rs. s.tt ,f
