Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer.
TIE State of Oregon has been con-
ceded to the Republicans, but without
rbvme or reason. There is better cause
to believe that it Is Democratic than that
either South Carolina or Florids, or
Louisiana is Republican. The returns
are not in, and no one can tell what the
result will be, We have not claimed the
State hitherto. but we know that
Oregon is Democratic state
in the present and has, tor the most part
been Democratic in the past. The re-
turns come in slowly. We haven't re-
ceived the official returns frC m our own
State even, and could not expect to have
the vote of Oregon. The latest news
from Oregon is much more hopeful, and
we do not abandon that State.

There has been no time within four
years when thorough cleaning out Of
the KELLoGG-PACKARD-CASEY scoun-
drels would not have been regarded by
the North as a very proper proceeding
In Minnesota the citizens made
short work Of similar gang, and
the YoUNGERs in Missouri, who are
really harmless and respectable in COM
parison with the ruffisns h KELLoGG, PACK
AKp and YARMOUTH, will be lynched on
sight. When the laws are not effective in
clearing out criminals in the north
lamp posts is found very effective. Had
the New Orleans people used the lamp
post during the last eight years the
nation would not now be in state
of teverish indecison as to the
legitimate count Of the vote cast
week ago. 1t will be OBJ
served that the KELLOGG song is pitched
10 a very much lower key, and there is
no longer pretsnse that the Republi'
cans have carried the State by ballot.
The purpose is now to throw out votes
on pleas of intimidation and other fimsy
pretexts, and by this means retain all the
Republican votes while decreasing the
Democratic msjorities, real scheme but
useless one, as any discrimination in
the vote cf Louisiana will cause its re-
lection by the House, and in that case the
friends of President TILDEN may rest
serenely secure in the faith. He will
never be cheated out, counted out, or
held out by bsyonets.

Thus it will be seen that children, boys
and girls, are supported at an expense of
$l.50 per week, who, if allowed to grow
up in ignorance and wickedness, will, as
psupers and criminals, cost the county
and city ten times as much, and will ever
be blotch upon the body polite.
In June, 1875, an effort was made to
secure permanent fund of $4,000, and
half that amount was subscribed ON con-
dition that the entire sum be raised. An
effort was also made to secure the fund
of about $500, now in the hands of a
committee Of the sanitary fair, but
neither of these enterprises have succeed
ed. A few of the subscribers 10 the per-
manent fund-Messrs. Henry Wallace,
w. B. Simpson, o. G. Dewey and Robert
Gibson-hsve decided to pay the amount
subscribed by them, independent of the
$4,000 condition, and have already
placed their amounts in the hands of d.
e. List, appointed by the directors, the
custodian or trustee of the permanent
fund. The president of the directors
says they "are anxious to have

many more which might be given, we
earnestly hope the ladies and gen.
tlemen now csnvassing for contr-
buttons will meet with cordial recep-
ton everywhere and will secure
what is needed to meet the present in
debtedness and replenish the empty
treasury. 'Tis as true now as ever that
"An ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" and genuine political
economy points to such reformatories as
he "Children's Home of the city Of
Wheeling" as the way to lessen the uum-
Der of criminals and paupers which SO
increase the burdens Of taxation. 1t Is
asserted on the most undoubted author
ity that the neglect of one girl IN Ulster
county, New York, cost that county
hundreds of thousands OF dollars in the
care of her progeny, there being not one
respectable or honest person among the
number of her descendants for nearly
generation. Facts like this might be
multiplied, but we deem it unnecessary,
Let the Children's Home of the city of
Wheeling have all it needs in money and
sympathy, and as citizens and county
we will be the better for it.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

The sad disaster to the Mohawk in the
Lower Bay will form food for meditation to-
day with Mr.. Mccarthy, of this city, and
Mr.. Steele, of Brooklyn. The former will
utter some reflections on the dangers of the
deep, and offer to weeping mothers and
friends the consolation of knowing their
children and friends when they meet on the
yonder shore. The latter will use the disas-
ter to emphasize the Scriptural doctrine of
Christian watchfulness and care. Mr.. Lloyd
will take leave of his congregation to-day for
six or eight weeks, but before he goes he
will show how the righteous shall grow as the
lily, and cast his roots as Lebanon, and
spread his branches and cause his beauty to
appear as the olive tree, and his fruitfulness
as the vine. But this will be due to the
Lords influences falling as the dew upon him.
And thus thriving, the righteous many will
be ready to crown Christ with many crowns
as Lord over all. The value of men differs.
Some are worth more than others. There is,
too, real and fictitious value set upon
men, and the difficulty arises in setting the
actual value upon them. Mr.. Hepworth has
his congregation to-day, and declare the ac-
tual value of each. Of course shams will not
care to be valued thus, and they will prob
ably keep away. Starting from an humble
model many shapeless thing has been
made a thing of beauty and JOY forever, and
many dry bone has been quickened, as Mr..
Rowcll will quicken some into life to-day.
And in times of need like these it is encour-
ing to know, with DR.. Deems, that God is
able and will supply all our needs. That
the Gospel is the power of God unto saliva
ton we have known for long time, but
the fact is worth repeating and emphasizing
by such a teacher as DR.. Armitage and that
the Lord will give strength unto His people
and bless them with peace we have had as
surances in the past, which Mr.. Johns will
give fresh point to to-day. Bishop Snow, of
Mount Zion, thinks the last trumpet is now
sounding, and that the destruction of the
Ottoman Empire is near and inevitable. 1t
has been long time coming, however.
The New York herald., 1876-07-23

land is responsible for that condition. 1t II
evident, from the testimony of Quarter
master Palm and others, that there was q
spirit of mutiny on board the vessel. The
Captains unpopularity is confessed. To be
complete the inquest. should have shown
us whether Rowland was in any way to
blame for the insubordination and want OF
discipline among the crew of the Mohawk.
All the other facts are plain, but it is in the
condition of the crew, rather than the cause
of the disaster, that we must look for the
moral quality of Captain Rowland's offence.
The interest of yachtsmen and of seamanshir
in general is bound up in the answer to thii
point and the investigation touching il
must be more completely made before this
question can be considered definitely set
tied. There is great wrong somewhere in
this matter-a much greater wrong than is
shown in the mere condition of the yacht
when the squall struck her or the conduct
of the Captain at the time, and every in.
terest requires that it shall be fully exposed
and punished.

The Tompkins Square job.

The Tammany Aldermen yesterday sue
ceeded in obtaining enough votes to pass
the resolution authorizing the grading and
repairing of Tompkins square by days
work. The majority had resolved to hold
daily sessions until this resolution should
be passed, thus endeavoring to coerce those
who were opposed to the work into voting
for it, and their tactics, it seems, have ac-
complished their object. Tompkins square,
under the management of Tammany Off
cials, has long been n disgrace to the city,
the large amount of money heretofore appro-
priated to it's improvement having been
shamefully misapplied No person objected
to its being again put into proper condition,
but the majority of the republican Alder
men insisted that the work should
be done by contract and not by
days work. The resolution, in the
shape in which it has been driven through
by the Tammany members of the Board, is
simply a job. It's supporters cared nothing
for the interests of the people of the dis
trict who live in the vicinity of the pest
hole but only wanted to supply some work
on which they could put laborers to help
them in the aldermanic elections. Long
strings Of their hangers-on will now be fling
up to the Office of the Commissioner of Pub
lie Works with cards from the Riellys and
McCarthys and Tuomeys of the Board, who,
having secured the resolution, will, of
course, each be able to put hundred men
to work Immediately. But if Commissioner
Campbell employs these loafers of the ward
pothouses in the place of honest, compe-
tent laborers the money will be expended
and Tompkins square will be in no better
condition next year than it is at the present
moment.
