thusiasm. On the the part Of the trustee,
in the place of manly frankness and
firm discharge of duty, Il offers temptation
to and opportunity for acting in secret and
striking in the dark. It destroys individ-
ual responsibility, and substitutes the eva
siveness of the star chamber. It puts an
end to the division of power, and that local
government under which our schools have
steadily improved. and In its place estab
fishes the most Objectionable form Of cen
tralizstion, by making the superintendent
the arbitrator in the case of hundreds OF
teachers. 1t confers on him an authority
that cannot safely be entrusted to any man
and while he may protest that he has no
power, makes him practically omnipotent.
The people, who are most interested, how
ever, will not fail to place the responsibility
where it belongs, aud those who have
watched the gradual absorption by one
officer, through the neglect or Indifference
of trustees. of seemingly irresponsible
dictatorship, will not be deceived, and will

1t is, perhaps, improper in q newspaper

teacher, should not be allowed to carry any

it touches him and his eide, the executive
appropriation bill, where he carefully pro
vides for every friend he has had appoint
ed. For example, the folding-room is

$500 to superintend department for

mIttee clerk is paid yearly salary, and his
committee messenger is paid yearly sal

ish the League Island navy yard, on the
ground that it would be ''nest-egg for him
after the next election" but had no voice
to retain any other. He advocated the bill
giving the Centennial commission 81, 500,

poorly paid clerks and messengers at the

SEVERAL of the New York papers which,
while claiming TO be Republican, lose no
opportunity Of abusing President Grant
and his administration, have censured him
severely for the appointment of Hon. Geo.
P. Fisher to the District Attorneyship Of
Delaware. Judge Fisher has been for the
past year the subject of a great deal of mis-
representation and undeserved abuse; but
whatever his enemies may say against him
those who know him best have the highest
opinion of his merits. He has held many
positions of the highest trust both in this
District and in his native State, and to-day
no man stands higher in the estimation of
the people of Washington and of Delaware
than George P. Fisher. His greatest fault,
If fault it can be called, is his too-confding
disposition. Frank and honest himself he
has been slow to suspect treachery in 9th
ers, and even when convinced that he was
betrayed, his forgiving disposition has led
him to pardon when he should have Sc
VeTely punished.

By reference to Mr.. Morris report, 1t
will be seen that the same facts apply to
and the same conclusions are to be derived
from the matter of the construction of the
Central Pacific road. That road also re-
ceived nearly $50, 900, 900 of subsidiary
bonds, and therefore both roads received,
in the aggregate, $5S. .000. 900 of bonds.
Thus, by repealing the act of July Q, 1854,
the Government would secure restoration
of Its lien upon bo;h roads, and thus save
S5s, 0O0. 900 in bonds, not including inter

not sold of the additional grant of each

THE reputation of Tammany Hall is
odOrous and suggestive of corruption.
When Sam Tilden and Boss Tweed were
intimates, that reputation was justly
earned, but when Tilden became a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination, Boss
Kelly, the latest TammanY leader, opposed
him. The reason for this opposition re.
sided in the fact that Tilden was desirous Of
freeing himselffrom the pernicious influence
of TammaDy's reputation. Meanwhile he
could not shake off such adherents as John
Morrissey and Bill McMullen, and as soon
as he was nominated Kelly came back into
the traces. Thus it appears that Tilden is
supported by all the worst elements of the
Democracy. And yet he claims to be re-
folm candidate.

THE "reform" Republicans in Alabama
g. e., the traders and tricksters who bought
their way into the Cincinnati convention
over the regularly elected delegates-have
already begun to show their regard for
civil service reform, for which they have

for campaign purposes, but these reform

Gone to the Hills.

The city presented a decidedly
lively appearance yesterday. During
almost the entire forenoon, 10Th,
Ferguson and 18th streets were
nearly impossible on account of the
large number of teams loading with
freight for the Hills.
The stage company loaded thirteen
4-mule teams with grain, -four and
vegetables, all of which goes direct
to Deadwood.
The Black Hills forwarding house
loaded twenty-three wagons with gro
ceries and provisions, to the amount
of nearly 100 1000 pounds. This train
is accompanied by twenty-five men.
Among the goods taken was a stock
of drugs for Hurlbut Bros. branch
house at Deadwood City, which will
be conducted by Henry H. Hurlbut,
who goes to Fort Laramie on Mon
day next and will accompany the
train from that post.

A Good Day for Runaways.

Always, two very lively ones having
occurred so faras known, with several
wards to hear from at sspress time"
The first occurred in the forenoon,
and while little damage was done be-
yond scraping some hair off the side
of a huge mule, things looked quite
serious at the start. A hay wagon,
to which were attached a span of
horses and a span of mules, was
standing in the alley between 10th
and 18th streets, at the rear of the
First National Bank, and the horses,
which were in the lead, suddenly de-
camped, their first jump throwing
one Of the mules, which had fallen
asleep, off its feet. The animals few
out of the alley, several pedestrians
who were approaching it from both
directions, narrowly escaping, and
the hapless mule dragging on the
ground. This outfit was stopped at
the corner of 10th and Hill, without
any damage.
The second runaway occurred on
18th street, in the afternoon, l..
Kabis' team having become suddenly
possessed of the devil, running away
out toward the lake at lightning
No damage was done.

A Sickening Sight.

On Sunday, as an east bound train
on the Union Pacific was approach
ing this city, having reached a point
one mile this side OF Hazard station,
the train men noticed a couple of
boys who were evidently travelling
with an emigrant wagon which stood
near by, trying to lead a horse to-
ward the wagon. At this moment
the horse, either through fractions
ness Or fright, suddenly galloped
away over the prairie, n of the
boys, about whose body the halter
rope had become entangled, being
dragged along behind the flying ami
NAL. The train men describe the
sight as simply horrible, and state
that by the terrific plunges of the
horse, the body of the unfortunate
lad was frequently jerked five or six
feet into the air. As the train pass
ed out of sight of the scene, the
horse, which had then reached the
summit of a small bluff, stopped, but
we have not yet learned whether the
boy was dead then or whether he be-
came unconscious and was dragged
about until life became extinct.

Opening Of the New Theatre.

Manager Mcdaniel opened his
new temple of Menus last even
ing, the popular Langrishe troupe
appearing in the great play of
''Pique'' to a crowded house.
The new theatre may properly be
termed a model of taste and elegance.
The drop curtain, upon which APP
pears a fine painting of the lake of
Mount Deria, is a beautiful piece
of work, rejecting great credit upon
Walter Krieger, the artist, and his
assistant, james Moran. The upper
reception loom and tiers of boxes
r elegantly decorated and the
boxes Hastily ~curtained and furnish
ed, this work having been done by
Mr.. Scott.
The stage is admirably construct
ed and fitted with every appliance
for the proper representation of ev-
cry variety of theatrical business,
and is lighted by means of new APP
pliances which are the invention of
MIR. Jonas Hellawell.
Martin ALDER, who was the con-
tractor for the entire work, deserves
great commentator for the artistic
and rapid in which he has
performed it, and the new theatre
presents an appearance fully equal
to that of the finest establishments
of the kind in cities of ten times the
wealth and population now claimed
for Cheyenne. The appointments
of the interior have been made with
an eye single to beauty, comfort and
convenience.
The painting throughout, with the
exception of the drop curtain and
scenery, is the work of Messrs.
Ovren 4 Anderson, and therefore
needs no praise at our hands.
Cheyenne may now lay claim to
having a ffrst-class. theatre - one
which will prove attractive to people
of the better class, to whose theatri-
cal taste Manager Mcdaniel now
proposes catering. None but artists
and combinations of merit will be
employed, and the public may rest
assured hat the stage of the new
theatre will be devoted to legitimate
purposes and that nothing to offend
the most fastidious will ever be pre-
scented thereon.
