NON-pARTISAN PATRIOTISM.
The leading subscribers to the cree.
ton of monument of Mr.. Seward in
Madison Square, New York, were the
brothers Schell, leading Democrats
and majority of all who subscribed
to the enterprise were Democrats.
There is a contrast between the iber.
atty of the two parties towards their
opponents, of which this is but one
example.
Wright and Marcy, Stewards COM
peers, if not his superiors, are still
without monument in the metropolis
Of their State. 1t is to be hoped that
the issue of the present political con-
test will bring about better state of
feeling, in which all parties will unite
in doing honor to distinguished merit
THE GEORGIA ELECTION.
The Democratic majority in Georgia
reaches the enormous figure of seventy
five thousand votes, which makes n
total of votes gained by the Democrats
in the State elections held, as compared
with 1872, of one hundred and ninety
thousand votes.
MORE ABOUT MORGAN.
The latest allegation against Morgan,
the Republican candidate for the Gov
ernor of New York, is, that prior to
the war he was extensively engaged in
fitting out vessels which were used
only in the slave trade. About 1860
this trade was SO fourishing between
Africa and Cuba, that special feet
was maintained for the purpose of inter.
cepting slavers.
Men who worked upon Morgan's
vessels, and who were experts in such
matters, assert that some of his ships
were fitted out in manner which
clearly indicated the purpose for which
they were destined.
The case of the bark Cora, which
Morgan sold in 1860 to one Machado.
is one of the cases in question. Morgan
got an enormous price for her from
Machado, whose exclusive business was
known to be slave-trading, and but a
short time after the sale the bark was
captured with 1000 negro slaves on
board, en- route from the coast of Africa
to Cuba.
Neither Mr.. Morgan nor his friends
take the pains to deny any of the
allegations against him. If they were
frivolous and without proof, this might
be considered the proper course; but
there are SO many of them, and, taken
all together, they form so nearly COM
plete history of his life and fortunes,
that they cannot with propriety be lon
|ger ignored.
His friends were the most abusive
about Governor Tilden, because he did
not answer the income allegation, while
the delay was caused by failure of the
Internal Revenue Bureau to furnish it's
records at Mr.. Hewitt request.
THE JAPANESE EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION
have concluded their labors in the
United States, and the Bostonians in
Washington are jubilant. After hav-
ing infinitely examined the various sys-
TENS of education in Europe and Amer
lea for the past four years, the Com
missioners have selected the Boston
system, and, on their return to Japan,
they will make collective exhibition
OF that system in Yeddo. To carry
out this plan, they have not only visi-
ted all the grades of schools in Boston,
but have purchased a collection of all
the materials in furniture, maps,
blanks, textbooks, and books of re-
ference; in fact, a specimen of every
thing used in the schools, from the
lowest primary to the highest depart
ment; and, in addition, they have Sc
cured all the school documents since
the organization of the present system
of education at the Club" CHEHA11s.
