with great affection of virtue
turned over the amount to
public institutions of one kind
and another. This one to an
educational enterprise, that to
a church, another to a theolog-

most cases it is the fear OF con-

get some advantage from it,
induces them to hand it over to
some local philanthropy. Their
moral sense lacks fiber; they
have not the stomach for the
complete and perfect sacrifice
required to turn back to the
National Treasury the money

subterfuges, confess rightfully
belongs there. 1t is cheering
to know that in some cases

The extent to which greed
for money has debased the
standards of moral conduct,
even among those whose pro-
fessions warrant the eXpecta-
ton of much purer and better
things-among those whom we
are accustomed to look up to

more groveling considerations
that move the minds of basel
men-has been illustrated in
some degree by the manage
ment of what is called the
religious press. Mercenary and
venal Journalism is not entirely
secular by any means. Temp
tations to sell editorial opinions
and endorsements, and to trade
upon religious character and
professions, are not absent from
the counting -rooms of relig-
lous journals, nor are they
always withstood. Indeed
there are cases where the cons

newspapers VIGOROUSLY and

and draw down to the low level

who Founded the PublIC
schools

The question Of who originated.
founded or secured the establishment
OF the Common Schools of Pennsyl-
vania has been MP for discussion in
the Constitutional Convention, where
the honor was claimed for Thaddeus
stevens, but denied, and a claim set
mp for Governor George Wolf. 1t
is fact that Governor Wolf was
friendly to the establishment OF these
schools--that he recommended their
establishment in his annual message
but the heat and burden of the
fight in the Legislature to secure
what the Governor recommended
were borne by Mr.. Stevens. Had it
not been for his eloquence and oncr
gy, sustained by such men as Wilmer
Worthington, of West Chester, who
was then n member Of the House,
the measure would have been lost.
because the power and prestige of
Governor Volts own party were
against it. At the time Mr.. Stevens
had it universally conceded to him
that his championship of the schools
saved them. The House was "set
up TO defeat the subject, when the
eloquence and scatching sarcasm of
the member from Adams rescued it
from its enemies aud triumphantly
carried it TO success. We do not
desire to deny Governor Wolfs
memory the credit and gratitude due
it for the zeal which he displayed in
behalf OF the system of free educa
ton, but on the other hand, it must
in no manner be attempted to rob
the memory of the great commoner
of the glory which belongs to it. for
his services in the same direction.
While he lived, and in the midst of
the potential influence which he
welded in Congress, an intimate
friend asked Mr. Stevens which of
his public works he considered great
est With the frank unselfshness
peculiar to the man he promptly dis
claimed all claim Of greatness for any
thing he ever did. 'but," continued
he, 81 believe will be remembered
by my fellow citizens for what l did

where sone FOrty.Three' Millions
OF Bonded Debt Went.
BosroN, Feb. 1.-THE books of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company; which TeFe tele-
praphed for arrived this morning, and B. e.
Ham, Secretary of the Credit Mobiler, and
Auditor of the Union Pacific Company in
New York, proceeded 70 make up the
figures upon which Mr.. Wilson, the Chair
man of the Committee, proposed to exam
inc him. Mr.. Ham testified: l have ex-
amined the balance sheets presented by
Crane yesterday and find them substan-
tially c1rrect. The trustees profits were
described as in securities and stock Of which
Crane gave the footings, and the several
items are testified to. The summary is as
follows: Profits on Ames' contract Sz9,-
So. 1860; on the Davis contract $780,, ,135,
and On tie Hoxie contract S., ,76S 292: total
p-otjt to the contractors of the entire road
$40. .S25, ,329 in stock and securities at their
par value.
Mr.. WIsor-Now will you look at the
books of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany and see what appears to be the cost OF
the whole road.
Mr.. Ham i should prefer to estimate it
mYSelf and not CTuSG myself u eStlHa5eS
made by others as found on the books. 1t
would take some time.
An intermission was taken and the book
keepers made up the answer under Hams
direction. 1t WAS as follows: The whole
cost to the company appeared to be by the
book S114,033, ,72S.52, an itemized state
mept of which was submitted. Actual cost
to the builders was S71, ,206, ,999.19, the
items of which were also submitted.
Mr.. Ham continued: The trustees IN
der the Ames and Davis contracts we're
compelled on account Of the pressing ne
cessities of the company to sell the seeuri.
ties at so large discount that the actual
amount divided at its cash value l should
consider worth not more than $4,000, 200.
Mr.. Rollins, Treasurer Of the Comp any,
tss'ifd that By special vote on Jan. ~,
1871, &. S. Bushnell was allowed $685.
900 in land grant bonds at 20.
This closed the Boston investigation,
aud Wilson leaves for New York tonight,

mort.

ISIT REPUDIkTION?

We respectfully suggest TO the members
of the Legislature that thorough discussion
should be permitted on every question per-
tanning to so important subject as the
finances of the Safe, and on the determi-
nation of every such question the ayes and
noes should be recorded. Tennessee bonds
are now quoted at over eighty cents in
New York under the impression that this
Legislature, elected unrestricsedly from the
people and By an unrestricted people, in
tended to fund the debt and prepare for q
resumption of payment of interest.
Every resolution passed, or bill
introduced, which looks to hinderipg or
delay Of this purpose, under any pretext
whatever, viii cast cloud upon our integ-
rlty and depreciate our credit. Should
the present General Assembly refuse to
pass plain, practical, emphatic funding
bill, or should they pass one ambiguous in
its terms, f He'd with ifs and butts, and bedged
with doubts, it will be regarded as the first
step toward repudiation. The bonds which
are now worth over eighty cents
on the dollar will go back to
forty-three and q half where they
once stood, and perhaps sink lover,
never TO rise again. There may be specu-
lators Of the Credit Mobilier stripe who
consider this q coDsummation most devout-
ly to be wished, tthey are not members
of the General Assembly, nor are they the
people, who have the honor and prosperity
of Tennessee at heart. Heed them not.

Was He only n sespegOat for Out
ragged Justice?
PEORIA, H., Feb. Henry McNulty,
convicted Of numbering his wife at Chilli
cothe, H., On Sept. % last, was hung here
to day in the presence of about 100 people.
McNQlty had maintained since Thursday,
when Gov, Beyerijge resolutely refused to
intervene in his behalf, that he would die
ike an innocent man. He accused the
witnesses for the prosecution offslse swea,-
ing, and asserted that prejudice alone
placed him upon the scaffold. He retired
at 3 O'Clock this morning, but slept very
little, although allowed to have limited
quantity of brady to facilitate rest. He
dosed at O'Clock aud awoke at 7, seem
ingly refreshed. Fathers Halligan and HUI
leg were with him almost constantly, pray
ing and encouraging him.
When the Sheriff told him everything
was ready, he was smoking cigar as indif-
ferent to surroundings as street gamir.
He was conducted to the gibbet by the two
priests named, who offered the customary
prayers for dying person. These concluded,
McNulty spoke for nearly an hour proclaim
ing his innocence, charging the witnesses
with perjury and claiming that he was
murdered and not his wife. He fo-gave
those who had prosecuted him and hoped he
would meet them in heaven.
Just previous 10 the cap being adjusted
on his head be kissed the Sheriff and couI-
sci, and to the latter be said: Remember
me-" These we're his last words. Tie
bolt was withdrawn from the trap door ct
precisely 1;20 o'clock, and McNulty fell FIVE
feet. There was cracking noise and it
was subsequently aseertained that his neck
had been broken at once. Life was said
to be extinct in ten minutes, but the body
was allowed to hang for twenty minutes
longer. It was then cut down and bulied
in the Catholic Cemetery, at the expense
of the county.
Public sentiment was decidedly in favor
Of carrying out the sentence, but Nc
Nulty's protestatiOns of innocence, when
within the grasp of death, have caused a
slight change. Physicians who examined
the body insisted that McNulty kept up
bis spirits with brandy, but he did not ap-
pear to be under the influence of liquor at
any time during the day, although all he de-
sired was at bis disposal. He was certainly
remarkable man, and if guilty, to main
tain bis innocence as lie did he must be
considered the greatest dissemble ever
