May smith, aged fourteen months and four
teen days.
This budding flower was sweetly open

when the frost Of death came aud it
withered. Tut God knows best; and
those who are bereavod by the death of
their child have no words Of murmur-
ing against Him WHO doesl MI things
we'll. Though they must sadly Miss the
presence of little JAMIE, they know she
is in glory, and that were enough to
know. Her presence in heaV ell is but q
new attraction there for those who loved
her here, and as she mingles with the
angels in the bettor world she heckons
them to follow. i. r.

Arlington Grave Decorations.

A few days ago the "Grand Army of
the Republic" passed resolution de-
clarng that any attempt to decorate the
graves of rebels on last Friday, at Ar
lilgton. would not be tolerated.
a dispatch from Washington, dated
9th, says:
1.-THE Secretary of War has addressed
letter to Quartermastar-G General MeiGs,
stating that, for the purpose of decora-
ting the graves Of deceased Union SOL
diers, the National Cemetery ut -trling-
ton will be under the control of the Grand
| Army of the Republic on the 3Oth inst,
aud that all organized professions and
parties desiring 10 visit the cemetery for
the purpose of decorating graves other
than those named above can be admitted
any day subsequent to the one above
named, upon proper application
It's simply folly lspiritedly and truth ruth
ny Nems,) to characterize this action as it
deserves. Such.a people care not for de-
cency, and laugh at denunciation. The
meanness wrapped up in the thing is too
puerile and contemptible to provoke in
vcctive.
We hope. however, that the first Con.
faderatc Inan or woman that makes an
effort, over or own dead heroes, to soi-

corators, MAY fall dead upon tho spot

THE PLUSH TIMES" OF 1870

The recent developments made by our
virtuous neighbor Of the Tines are worthy
Of all commendat;on. Why such an in

four years should have been concealed We
can not tell. Silent as the ring itself
during that period, the Times has accom-
panied the change i'll public sentiment,
and now brings to light the most damning
evidence OF deliberate combination to de-
fraud the people. We commend the
Tines for the developments now being
made Of these iniquities. We do not
choose to be too critical in inquirins why
they have been deferred until their pub.

than useful precaution. And this in-

on Tuesday last. and officially published
in the REPUBLICAN Of Wednesday. Ger.
tainly exhibits the administration of our
city government tor tie past six months
il. AZ improving light; and if the improve.
men: had been wrought by the curtail-
;aent Of salaries and the adjustment of
ali s;necu:es instead of the disseminating
o: work on essential public improvements.
tie REovH:.:.AS would not be disposed to
say aught agains: the extravaSant lauda-
tons Of press that can only see good
when i: is supposed to come from Dem.
ccratic administration. The RE4UILICAN
is willing and anxious to acknowledge the
600: acts Of public servants, 10 matter

70 accord full justice to Mayor
Wit and the gentlemen associated with
him III the present conduct of our city
government We believe they are endeav-
oring to :educe tie expenses of the city.
bu: deny that the reduction Of expendI'
lures is entirely a Democratic measure.
This is the impression partisan press
Las attempted TO make upon the public
mind. and this the REPUBLICAN desires to
correct. 1t has no disposition to find
taUl: with Democratic administration of
our city affairs that is endeavoring to dis
charge faithfully its public duties. And
70 prove that the measure of retrench-
men: il the curren. expenditures Of the
city for the present year is not
entirely Democratic measure. We
have only to refer to the very
able message Of Mayor Wilt, just
transmitted to the Council. The Mayor
very distinctly says IL thar message: 1.-THE
budget OK expenditures for 1872 amounted
TO nearly s7000,Ooc .s6, SCI, ,3S1). almost

THE TIMES ON UEIFICATION.

Very much after the plan of the ag-
grieved schoolboy. who. concluding he
couldn't whip the other fellow. proposed
to get square with him by making faces
at his little sister. the Times has COM
menced fighting the unifcation move
ment. Its yesterdays evening issue says:
At present there are separate schools for
white and co!oced children, equal in al!
respects. Now clamor is raised for miXed
schools. Though the colored population do
not contribute OLe-third of the taxes that
to share educational privileges equally
with the whites. The result of this agita-
ton ls likely to end in des:rying the pre-
sent excellent school system.
This paragraph is not aimed at either
State Superintendent Brown or Division
Superintendent Boothby. Since they
have been in Office they have made no
effort whatever to mix the schools. They
found colored schools, white schools and
mixed schools in existence just as their
predecessors left them, and have not asi-
tated the question Of mixing them any
further. There are about fifteen Or twenty
co!ored schools, thirty-tive or forty white
schools, and about fifteen mixed schools.
OF these the mixed schools are the best in
the city. and the colored schools the
poorest the poorest in quarters, fucni-
ture, text books. and in every way. So
fax, the Tines, is in error. Otherwise. its
paragraph can only be considered as a
censu,e upon the good citizens Of the
unification society, who are the only ones
who have agitated the mixed schoo, ques-
ton for some time.
