Night schools.
Editors Intelllgenrr:

Editors Intelligencer:
The action Of the Board OF Education
at ia Thursday evening meeting, in rela-
ton 10 the teachers Of night schools, is
calculated to strike tho uninitiated pub
lie as peculiar. :.
The fourth resolution first decidedly
recommends" and finally expands into a
full blown prohibition Of the employ
ment Of teachers in the day schools as
teachers in the night schools. l also oh.
serve that 10 the resolution fixing the sal.
airy Of each Principal and assistant teach
er in the night schools at $40 and S25 per
month, amendments were offered making
the salaries S32 and $50 and $50 and $50,
both Of which were lost.
Ifnot inconsistent with the interest OF
the public school service, il would begrat-
flying to the patrons OF the night schools
and perhaps to the general public, to
know-frst-why the school term in
tended for the special benefit OF those who
find II impossible to attend school In day
time should be shortened one month
Second-upon what principle did the
Board act in recommending decidedly"
that teachers in the day schools should
not be employed in night schools and
finally prohibiting such employment,
save and except in the colored schools
Thirdly-what valuable public interest
is to be subserved by such prohibition,
and-iourthly-did the Board by the ex-
clusion OF professional and experienced
teachers and the proposed reduction Of
salary expect to maintain in the night
schools a scale Of efficiency necessary 10
usefulness. Will some member Of the
Board rise and explain. Cue.

t,hnlIenrIng AT thc Polls,

There is no more wholesome check on
illegal voting, after a good Registration
law, than few resolute and honest men
at each poll who are bent on preventing
frauds. We allude to this matter thus
far in advance OF the November election
because it is important! 10 select picked
men for this duty at each poll-men OF
large acquaintance, who can not be bull
lied or over.awed by fraudulent voters
or their partisans whether inside or out
side OF the places Of voting. Resolute
and honest challengers are important to
both parties and neither side should OBJ
iect to them. We understand that at the
First Ward polls on last election day
about IS votes were rejected, 20 Of
them Democratic. All, or nearly all Of
these men would have voted but Tor the
challengers. How many more voted who
should not have voted il would be hard TO
say. Certain it is, however, that
very decided suspicious are ailoat in tho
city that there was entirely too much
voting ut the last election. Human ma.
ture is not different in Wheeling from
what it is in New York, Cincinnati and
other cities, and we all know what
constant vigilance and effort it takes to
prevent elections in those cities from de-
generating into mere farces us expires.
sions Of popular opinion. The Cincin'
natl Commercial publishes list OF l43
names from the Second precinct OF the
Twentieth Ward in that city for whom
no lawful owners can be found. We
should like to know how many such names
could be found on the poll books OF the
various wards Of this city. It's the bus.
mess Of each political organization to
know something about names that can
not be located in the different wards, A
dozen men OF general acquaintance in
each ward can be selected who can per-
sonally account for any honest voter in
their ward. Why not then get u list OF
the names enrolled on each poll book at
the late election and submit them to the
closest scrutiny. Somebody out Of twelve
good and true" men can tell something
about any honest name on each ward list.
The names that can not thus be located
should be put on memorandum books for
the use OF challengers and every mothers
son OF them should be made TO account
for himself on next election day or else
they should be arrested as frauds.
This is the only way 10 purify the bal.
lot and make the verdict Of the boxes
respected and respectable. Our remarks
on this head will apply to smaller places,
to such towns as Wellsburg, Moundsville,
Fairmont, Grafton, and other points
throughout the State, but they gre more
particularly applicable to our own city.
1t is to the larger places that mercenaries
are brought to vote, because their detec.
ton is more difficult, and there is more
dexterity in the way of concealment. A
hundred votes in the coming Congress.
siOnal election may make very decided
change in the result, and hence every
good citizen in this Congressional Dis.
trict is interested in seeing that we have
thoroughly honest vote.

regret TO say this; for, during the nearly
forty years that ! have been n voter, |
have never yet deviated from the plumb
line OF straight.out Democracy, except,
perhaps, in a few cases Of district or mu-
nicipal elections. My reasons for this
conclusion are these:
/. Col. Wilson stands upon the records
as having introduced into the House OF
Representatives some OF those bills known
rs the Southern Claims" and has given
no intimation, either on the stump or in
private, that he is opposed to the allow
ance or payment OF those iniquitous bills.
| believe that those bills are iraught with
the direst mischief 10 the American peo-
pie, and that their agitation will only
open the Pandora's box Of turbulence and
possibly civil feud. am willing and
anxious that every lOyaiman in the South
should receive the utmost farthingof his

suit to the memories Of those old patri-
ots who first achieved our independence,
TO even talk about rcmunerating any man
who attempted 10 divide this Govern.
menl in any losses he may have incurred
by such action. The South is a unit upon
this question. It will demand the pay
ment Of these claims with the same per-
sistency with which its unreasonable do.
mands were made that led to the rebel.
lion. Also, the payment Of these claims,
which amount to more than the present
national debt, will utterly destroy the ma
tional credit and render US hopelessly
bankrupt The final settlement Of these
claims rests with Congress, and I can vote
for no congressional candidate, l care not
what his politics are, thatwill not pledge
himself to oppose them to the end. CT.
Scott pledges himself openly and publicly
to oppose them. Col. Wilson does not,
but on the contrary he manifested a ia.
vorable, opinion to them last winter, by
having introduced some Of them. For
