The case of this girl was, no doubt. the source of many of the charges against the .'plac- ing outs system. A very careful examina. ton was then made of the Indiana State Reform School at Plainfeld. We have sent some 6. 900 children to Indiana, and here, fl any where, the ''failures" were to be founds @Mr.Fsy with the assistance of Mir.

Here considerable number of names was found as from New York. Many of these were compared with those on our books, but nothing is shown as to the boys having come from this Society, or from any other benevolent institution. They may have emigrated with their fam flies. or they may have given false address-at all events, they are not on this Society. The Superintendent was absent, but his assistant. Mr. o.

The Springfield Republican, one of the real independent papers of the country, says very sensibly of the bearing of the coming election on Resumption
 This is. then, the difference between the two parties on this great question: Three-fourths of the republicans are ear nestly in favor of early resumption, and au. or nearly 80. are opposed to positive imitation, while two-thirds of the demo- 'crats are opposed to resumption. Say that Tilden is an honest resumptionist, for it is true, what can he do against a majority in his party? Both Hayes and Wheeler are for resumption, and a very large majority of the party agree with them. It would seem as if a voter on the fence, honestly seeking after the truth, could not long hesitate on this question.
