Our attendance suffered somewhat this
month from the races and the Election What
effect bull-fight or ear-baiting would have,
deponent sayeth not, but can make a good
guess.
During the last three days of the month we
had written examinations in the High School;
the result of which, with grades in conduct and
attendance are here given, under the heads of
Study, Conduct and Attendance.

else-they alone are responsible, and will be
held responsible for the utterances of their or
gan, the Express. What that Journal says
has no importance other than as it is known
to be controlled and owned by the supporters
and friends of Mr. Tilden. What it says has
no influence except as it is believed by the
Democratic masses to speak the sen iments Of
their leader If in its mischievous and in
cendiary article of yesterday it does not speak
the sentiments of Mr. Tilden, let him and his
friends dsown its utterances. Let them call
off their dog.
This is not time to be playing with fire;
but if the Democratic leaders mean to do SO
We warn them that they will get their own
fingers burned. 1t will not do for the Demo-
cratic politicians to let it be understood that
they do not mean to abide by any just and
lawful verdict which the people may give. 1t
will not do for them now, when nothing is
decided, to hint or threaten about what they
will do if the issues goes against them. The
people of this country have not forgotten 1861,
and they do not mean to be dragged into an
other war by a set of men the burden OF
whose blunders and wicked ambitions we are
still bearing.
We repeat, if President Grant has done
wrong, if he has broken any law or violated
the constitution by his acts of the last few
days, let him be impeached. The Democrats
have majority in the House of Representa-
tives; the Congress meets in December. Let
the Democratic House, as soon as it meets,
accept and bring forward the charges framed
and the proofs to be adduced by the Demo
cratic politicians But let us have no bullying
meantime, and let us have no threats of what
will happen away off in February when the
electoral vote comes to be counted. 1t is not
a good time for such childs play, and it is
very bad time for incendary assertions and
insinuations If the Democratic leaders are
statesmen, if they are anything higher than
unscrupulous demagogues, they mnst see that
this is a time conspicuously for moderate
speech, for mutual conciliation, for conserva-
tive language and conduct, for instructing
their people in the ways of peace and honor;
and not for misrepresenting the facts of the
difficulty, melting to suspicion and distrust,
and thus inflaming the minds of the ignorant
members of their party with sentiments
which can lead only to riot and civil disorder,
and which to the cursory reader seem deliber-
ately intended to Fro1uce these effects

Hsyes and Wheeler Electors, and IN
thI owing out the counties of Edgcheld
and Laurens. He does not admit the
power of the Supreme Court to control
the action of the Board during the
time of its existence, and he is certain
that the Court has no power to extend
that time. He also insists that the
Board has not been guilty Of contempt
because the Court in all its proceedings
has put no restraining order on the
Board. When asked what would be
the effect of the setion of the Board the
Governor said he was not certain, but
thought it might be the opening act In
a great drama, in which the whole na-
tion might be called upon to take part.
When asked his opinion of the sn-
preme Courts action, the Governor
said he would not question its motives,
and would only say that they had act
ed i'm a feeble and tampering manner.
If it had made restraining order IN
the first place, such action as the Board
had taken to day would clearly place
the members in contempt.

The yongeeS.

The proceedings of the Democratic meeting
yesterday are elsewhere given at sufficient
length to indicate the spirit prevalent Cen
eral Ewing was placed In the leadership and
struck the key which was followed with tol-
erably accuracy, though not with Ewing's
force, by the other speakers. Amidst meek
and lowly professions of peace, the real object
of the meeting seemed to be to get up a
scare" There was a disposition to impart
the impression that the Democracy were dan
gerous and that conflict of force was i'm
pending, though there was reluctance to
come out flat-fuoted for ''wah." The burden
of the remarks, analysed so far as analysis is
possible of the heated partisan expression,
was that Tilden must be counted in or the
Democratic House of Representatives must
take the matter in charge; and if there should
be any interference with Democratic stretch.
ing there might be trouble. The general tone
of the affair was scarcely consistent with the
kind of patriotism the speakers at times ex-
pressed in such a self-sufficient manner-TO.

From the Burlington Hawkeye.
Low, my bird, sing low, it fills my soul with
loathing
To hear you waste your crow, growing over
nothing.
Bulletins are frauds, and specials are but van
tiles,
And all your lies can't make things appear
much better than it is.
Low, bird, low:
Hide your head beneath your wing, and mod
ulate your crow.
Low, my bird, crow low what's the use of
hollering?
Radical Returning Boards all our votes are
coliar:ng.
South Cardinals gone all wrong; I'm badly
left in Foridy,
And Hayes has Louisiana fixed so that he'll
beat me horribly.
Low, bird, low:
Flap your wings less noisily, and weaken in
your crow.

ertions, if they hope to graduate. Their stu
dies are much more difficult than those of the
other classes and demand harder work and
more time. Some of the other pupils are with
this class in Mathematics but not in Latin.
l wish could believe that any parents ever
give second thought to my repeated appeals
to have the children kept where they should be
at night. Our town was never so disgraeed as
now by Juvenile rowdyism, and to allow q
child free use of his time after dark, is, l hon.
estly believe, to expose him to ruin, body and
soul. Knowing what do on this subject,
would sooner bury my children than run the
risk that so many parents are incurring.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 22-11 P. NJ
So far the Board has completed eigh-
teen parises, except twenty precincts
laid aside for future deliberation on ac'
count of charges of intimidation. 1t is
singular that no official returns have
been received from fifteen parishes, al.
Though more than half of these returns
are known to be in the city and have
been for weeks. The Democrats open
Iy charge that these parishes are held
back for purposes of fraud. The Re-
publicans make no defense, and give
no reason. The Democrats have dupli.
cate returns from all of these parishes,
except two, certified by the Circuit
Court, the Clerk and Supervisor, i'm
mediately after the election. Any at
TEMPT at alteration at this late day
would, therefore, be detected.
The Board found, to-day, in one pre-
cinct of St. James Parish, that thirty
Democratic tickets had been voted
with only five Electors. The Board re
fused to count the Electors not voted
for-thus establishing q precedent
which will operate against themselves
in the case of 2, 200 Hayes tickets voted
in the Fourteenth District with only
three Electors. Further along, in La
fourche Parish, it was discovered that
over four hundred Republican tickets
were voted with only Hayes and
Wheeler upon them. The Republicans
were startled by this discovery, as 1t
makes nearly three thousand votes the
several Hayes Electors will lose by the
omission. However, Kellogg and
Packard, and other leading lawyers,
that the Board can count them
just the same, thus carrying out the
voters intention. The Board took the
case under consideration.
A startling story is afioat tonight.
Heretofore we have not been able to
understand why the Board did not fill
the existing vacancy with Democrat,
according to the intention Of the law.

Tweed's Memory of Faces.

Tie New York correspondent of the
Toledo Blade says: The Boss never for
gets face He had learned that men
esteemed it compliment to be remember
ed personally, aud he practiced upon this
information. Some years ago, at Albany,
the writer had occasion to call upon Mr.
Tweed, having met him frequently, and
having always found him ready to give
any information that lay in his power. An
acquaintance said he would 60. too, having
only met the Tammany Sachem once, and
being DESTROYS Of renewing the acquaint-
aDce. Tweed met the writer cordially
and then, turning to his companion, called
him by name and inquired after his little
daughter. A flush of gratifed delight
spread over the gentlemans face, and he
alterward expressed his establishment at
the recollection. It seems that at the
time they mad first met the gentleman had
his daughter with bin, and she attracted
Tweed notice, and he spoke to her. The
incident bore its fruit Tweed gained a
firm friend by the power of his memory.
The courtesy cost nothing, and in its rank
fruits proved to be very valuable. y
