Political.

1t is estimated that one hundred thousand
men we're employed on election day to con-
duct the canvass in the different districts
in New York, and that the cost, including
tickets, was at least million of dollars.
Mississippi presents one bright spot at
last. G. w. Wells, republican candidate
for congress and opposed to Gov. Ames, is
elected by handsome majority. The
state is not wholly lost to political health.
The Sunday World says the election of
John G. Jacobs to the senate from the
third district, is now settled. Leading re-
publcsns residing in the district admitted
1t yesterday, but it is also given out that
John F. Henry Is to furnish funds to
Colonel Cavanaugh to contest the election.
The Ecening Posts Washington special
says "both General Babcock and Orville
Grant are very indignant at the reckless
use of their names by members of the st.
Louis whisky ring, and they deny in the
most positive terms that there was any
justification for the report regarding them
selves"

of Mississippi "Your birthright, and
those of your children, are at stake The
" present crisis is no ordinary one the is
"sue is not confined to Mississlppl-no, 1t
" is Il contest 10 which is marshaled, on
" one side, pricileged aristocracy, moneyed
" and on the other, Freedom, Justice and
Humanityl" How like the utterances of
Wash. McLane, Sam Carey and Allen, and
probably the source of all their inspiration,
and how well does s. s. Prentiss describe
these leaders of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
inflationists, when he describes the con-
diton of politics in Mississippi at that day.
He says. 1.-THE two parties"-that is the
whig and democrats-"were very equally
"dvidcd, and slight influence was sufii-
" cent to give TO either the preponderance.
At this juncture, few reckless and
"pronigate demagogues, observing the
embarrassed and distressed state of the
" country, which was then at its hight,
seized upon the idea of regulating the
public debt, land threw it, as make-weight,
into their own side of the political scale.
A few persons, for the most part among
the ignorant and credulous, alarmed at
" the thought of increased taxation, which
the demagogues told them would con-
sumo all their substance, and excited by
artful appeals to their prejudices, and
bold assertions of fraud on the part of
the purchasers of the public bonds, were
led away by this dishonest doctrine
In speaking of Mississippi's reputation,
John 9. Calhoun said that should South
Carolina 'tarnish her unsullied honor and
bring discredt on our common country,
refusing to redeem her plighted faith"
whether the money had been spent wisely
or fooishly, "motber as she is to me,
would disown her," but Jeff Davis said
that the insinuation that Mississippi had
done anything wrong was the "hypocriti-
" cal cant of stock jobbers and pensioned
"presscs a calumnious imputation,' apd
that "the crocodile tears which have been
sueu over Tulucu CIcuitOlS are ON u par
"with the lawless denunciations which
have been heaped upon that state" And
now the democracy and repudiationists
having reganed control of the state and
Its legislature, propose to make this same
JEFF Davis their representative in the senate
of the United States. Should they succeed
in electing him, they may find that certain
political disabilities exist that would. pre-
vent the full fruiton of their hopes. And
so, should Mississippi ever again have an
honest government and make an honest
effort to provide for the payment of these
repudiated bonds these repudiationists
may find that their work in amending the
state constitution has been without avail :
that the constitution OF the United States
being the supreme law of the land, "any-
thing in the constitution or laws of my
- state to the contrary Notwithstanding,
and that constitution prohibiting any state
from passing laws impairing the oblga-
tions of contracts. that the constitutional
amendment regulating this contract to
pay the bonds is utterly without force and
void.

Carl Schurz.

General Woodford paid pleasant tribute
to Carl Schurz, in Boston, on Monday
evening. AS he stepped upon the plat
form voice exclaimed, ''Where is Carl
Schurz?" The General replied "My
friend asks where Carl Schurz is. To him
more than any gentleman in the land be-
longs the credit of the great victory that
honest money won in the state of Ohio !;
and knowing the influence that to-mor-
rows election in Massachusetts must have
upon the question whether or not this
country is to keep its faith absolutely with
bll-holder and bondholder alike, have no
hesitation in saying to Boston that the de-
sire and prayer of Carl Schurz is with the
republican party tonight"

Washington Notes.

The president and Secretary Fish are
both out of town, the latter having also
gone to New York. Our hard-worked ad-
ministraton seems to be taking another va
cation.
The treasury department order issued,
last week, in regard to duties on wool, re-
quiring double duties to be collected on
certain imports in the second and third
classes, has been suspended until after a
hearing.
The president has appointed Alonzo Bell
of New York to be chief clerk of the de-
partment of the interior, vice Stanley
Pmmer of Maine, transferred to another
cerkship. Bell has been for some years
in the Office of the second auditor of the
treasury.
The report of the commissioner of the
general land Office is likely to create SEN
sation. He devotes much space to the
manner in which railroads have obtained
and used their land grants, and especially
crticises what is called the California land
ring.
The impression abroad that the printing
of fractional currency has been discontin-
ued, especially as to the denominations of
10 to so cents, is erroneous. There has
been some delay in printing from the new
plate of the so cent notes, made necessary
on account of counterfeits, but the print
ing of all other issues is proceeding as
usual.
Secretary Chandler is about to make
some important changes in the interior de-
partment. Several clerks, suspected of
improper practices, are already marked for
dismissal A clerk who was discharged
last year from the Indian office, upon
charges made by Mr.. Shanks of Indiana,
and who secured place in the pension
office by reason of having made threats
that his knowledge could injure persons of
high station, was recently put under ban.
EX-Secretary Delano is in Washington try.
ing to save his favorites from removal.
The postoffice department rules that d
postal card once having been delivered tc
the person to whom it Is sent cannot again
be sent through the mails to the same ad
dress by affixing an unused one cent STAMP
with the second sending, but must bt
charged letter rates. 1t seems that certain
relief associations sent out postal cards
announcing death, and consequent assess
mcnt upon surviving members. These
cards were returned with the money in O
sealed envelope to the secretary, who
stamped them ''paid," and, aflixing one
cent stamp, deposited them for retrans
mission to the original address as receipts

The Value of a Wife in Michigan.

A jury in the superior court at Detroit,
Mich, has settled the value of a wife at
$1,000. Samuel w. Burrows, a young
merchant doing business at Belleville, was
charged by Henry Lewis of that place with
alternating from him the affections of his
wife, and seducing her to leave her hus-
band and her two children, respectively
aged six and four years, and live with Bur-
rows. These facts were pretty clearly
proved, and, Burrows not putting in any
defense, the jury returned verdict for the
amount mentioned.

The Increase of Postmasters' Salaries

The increase of postmasters' salaries the
last fiscal year, is s931 200. This is Is per
cent. of the entire amount, and is altogether
due TO the law providing that postmasters'
salaries shall be regulated by the amount of
business transacted. The bad effects of
this have already been shown by the nu-
merous instances of fraudulent sales of
stamps. While there has been this large
increase of expenditure, the revenue has
been benefited only TO the extent of 1900
of per cent. The estimate for postmas.
ters' salaries for The next year is 81, 5O0,-
900.

The students of Dartmouth college are
out with manifesto in defense of their
"lark"-as they call their assault on Mr..
Parker and the destruction of his property
saying that the affair has been exaggerat-
ed to the "detriment of the college and the
gentemanly bearing of the students. "
They admit that they threw a stove from
the store into the street, pulled down and
destroyed bookcase, empted set OF
drawers full OF sold and worthless paInph-
" lets into the street that they were de-
termined that Parker should not attend the
trial of the arrested students and that
therefore, but without physical violence,
they confined him in the ticket office until
after the train had left. Having thus ad-
mitted the committing of the acts, substan-
tially as charged, they proceed TO justify
themselves on the ground that the acts were
done "openly"; that Parker has ''never
been very popular with the students" 1;
that his "cose dealings" was the cause of
this general dislike, that he had ne compe-
tition in business, and that the "boys,
alive to the fact that Parker was with
out competition to restrain him in his
acts of smallness, felt inclined to give
=" vent TO their feelings" which they did in
the manner described. Parker has, they
say, "thus rendered himself odious to the
students and the students have expressed
their dislike tc him " in this way and
they don't regret it, Such is the substance
of their statement ard defense, and we
give them the benefit of it-but we still
trust that the New Hampshire courts will
show them that the laws are made for col
lege students as well as for the outside bar
barians.

A MYSTERIOUS Wreck.

Frederick Hoffman and three fellow
sailors of the brig Helen b. Rich, which,
on Sept. 25 last, was wrecked off Damas
Key, on the Cuban cost, were brought to
New York on the Both of last month by
the brig Palo Alto. A graphic story con-
nected with the wreck of the Helen b.
Rich is related by Hoffman, who is at
present mate of the brig Sarah S. Kennedy.
On the fifth day subsequent to the wreck,
he noticed several poles protruding ont of
the water near reef not far distant, and,
after consultation with his fellows, in
company with two Others he rowed about
two miles to the spot. On reaching the
shore the crew discovered the submerged
wreck of a dismantled iron vessel, while ON
the shore in the vicinity they found album
dant evidence of an apparently old wreck.
In the vicinity OF the wreck they saw a
circular structure composed of stones and
covered with matches, which upon exam
ination was found to contain the decom-
posed bodies of two men. Hoffman ex-
amiDed the rotten clothing OF the remains

proved unsuccessful. In a smaller hut,
adjoining this structure, third male
body was discovered, also decomposcd

bent position against the wall of a hut

Hoffman's theory, been driven upon the

ciphered. Hoffman, in conclusion. states
that when he and his fellows finally reach
ed Sagua la Grande, he Immediately COM
municated his discovery to the American
consul, but has not yet been informed
whether the latter has taken measures to
ascertain the name of the wrecked vessel
or the identity of Its victims, who he thinks
died from starvation.

If any fresh argument was needed in
favor of "rotation in office" it Is furnished

1T any fresh argument was needed In
favor of "rotation in office it is furnished
in the case of Mann, the defaulting treas
urer of Saratoga county. 1t was formerly
urged against rotation, that long con-
tinuance of the same men in office enabled
the south to gain controlling influence in
the national councils-but what was the re-
suit? SO long as the democratic party
was in power, the south had 1t all its own
way and when the rights of the north
were finally asserted it attempted seces-
sion and forced on the war Of
the rebellion. In many states treasurer
is ineligible to second reelection and
had such law prevailed in New York,
Mann might have proved an honest man.
certainly the opportunity to carry on his
defacations and over issue of bonds would
have been taken away. The only defalca-
ton Vermont ever had in her state treasu-
ry would have been prevented by more
frequent change of treasurers, and nearly
every public defalcatlon can be traced to
the opportunity furnished in the same way.

Report of the Commissioner of Ed
noof1nn

Report of the Commissioner of Ed
ucatlon.
The commissioner of education has CON-
pleted his fifth animal report. He has In
the present volume discarded all special
papers, and confined the contents strictly
to review of educational work. The re-
port proper covers 152 pages. The com
missioner calls attention to the initiate re-
latlons existing between the educational
work and commercial prosperity He
claims for the work performed in his office
great value to all economists and poll
ticians, as well as to the teacher and pub
lie.
The commissioner states that it is graft
flying to observe the increase of the deter
mination of each state to take an annual
census of the school population. There
has been an increase of 1874, 900 children du.
ring the year. Thirty-five out of thirty
seven states and eleven territories report
the public school income, which shows an
increase of 81, 232, 900; but only thirty-fve
school expenditures. There are enrolled
in public schools 100000 pupils. The
average daily attendance Is four millions
and half. The estimated population be-
tween six and sixteen years of age is ten
millions and a half. The total income of
public schools in the states and territories
in 1874 was 100000 The total ex-
penditures for the states and territories
was $74, 900, 900.
The highest salaries for school teachers
reported is accredited to the Cherokee Ma
ton, 1925 monthly for males and 5000
monthly for female teachers The District
of Columbia comes next, S113' and $40
Massachusetts shows greater dispropor-
ton, 1913 and S32. The expenditures in
the year, per capita OF average attendance
| in the public schools, is as follows Massa
| chusetts, 800; Ohio, $14 Nebraska, 1913;

Many states cannot tell the number of
their school population. Some have not
counted their sittings, and do not know
whether they are adequate to their necessi.
ties. Illinois is the only state with county
normal schools. In schools of secondary
instruction 1881 institutions with 40S more
teachers are reported in 1874, as against
944 in 1873. There were 2O,301 less stu
dents. The diminuton in attendance is
attributed in a large degree to the financial
depression of last year. The effects of
business depression is particularly noiicea-
BILE in the preparatory schools for the SUI
perior instruction of women. During the
year 533 degrees were conferred ON women.
There are now in colleges and scientific
schools 10000; in the preparatory schools,
$4,000. One of the features of thu centcn.
NAL report will be the publication of work
on libraries and museums in the United
States.

Higher Education in Vermont.


The Manchester Journal and Rutland
Herald are very properly discussing the
Importance Of higher education in Vermont.
The leading thought is that we should have
the best kind of fitting schools to feed our
own excellent colleges. We have some
good academies and high schools, already,
where our boys may be well fitted for any
New England college. We need not name
them. No young man need leave the state
to it for college, nor to secure a first class
collegiate education. And 10 our judgement
he gains nothing either in fitting or in college
drill, by leaving the state Sure we are
that on the whole, he is safer and better pro-
vided for, at home than abroad, in this re-
gard. AS TO fitting schools, we should aim
to elevate those already established and
good. And it is acknowledged that another
is needed in the southern part of the state,
and we understand that efforts are being
made to establish first class classical train.
ing school at West Brattlsboro, 10 the
spring, where suitable buildings with delight
full surroundings, are already provided.
As to our colleges, none better can be
found over the line. The University of Ver-
mont is prepared to do good work for all
who go there, and Middlebury College under
the leadership Of President Hubert, with
his able faculty was never more worthy Of
home and foreign patronage. Mr. Hubert
has already shown himself to be "thc right
man in the right place." He is in the prime
Of life, full of energy and good sense, and

1t is mistake that the college that draws
the largest number is necessarily better
than the smaller one The very fact Of large
numbers creates serious objections to thu
college. In a moral point of view, thu
smaller college is decidedly to be preferred
