DARLINGTON, May 23d, 1876.
Nix. EDITOR: In the Hartord Democrat Of
the 10Th inst, reference edltoraly is made
to Public School matters. The writer twits
the Deer Creek Farmers Club with being
better posted i'll farming than in school mat
tiers. Now, why he should be more able 10
make correct examination of records than
any of them is strange fact. The records
are open TO general inspection no hindrance
debars them, which might not as completely
prevent him from making search. Then il
must be that their training us farmers does
not qualify them for Investigation of books
and papers.
| But to the point Why docs the writer
take such pains TO show that Bel Air con-
sumes every cent of the fluid raised within
her limits for school purposes2 Does it not
show q covetousness by no means praise
worthy Should all the rich portions of Har-
ford county claim that the school tax levied
within their limits ought to be expended
within their limits, the poorer sections would
be sadly off. The writer boasts that a crumb
is left-scramblc for it under the table,

But again; The writer seems TO endcayor
to make it appear that the Bel Air High
School is cheaper than common schools

If High Schools are so economical, let us
have more of them. The editor of the DEM
ocrat will bear in mind that have noticed
his editorial, not out of the slightest ill feel.
ing towards him, but because think he has
too hastily examined the "books and papers,"
and too ncautiously formed his opinion /
fatty pronounce, that the attempt of men,
but little posted in educational matters, to
establish and put in working order school
system is simply absurd. 1t seems to be an
easy matter, but is in reality most difficult
one.
BY the way, the editor spoke of four miles
square and Bel Air | looked at the law
and find the Act speaks of four miles square,
meaning of course four square miles, very
different thing. Now, under the law we
have go school districts in this county, more
than the law allows. Respectfully,

Our Washington Letter.
PRESIDENTIAL.

The Republicans i'm and about Washington.
and the Republican press through the country,
so far as have information, are predicting the
defeat of the Democratic party in the coming
Presidential campaign, because, as they assert,
we cannot carry Ohio. They argue that the
Democracy were beaten in OHIO under the lead
ship of Governor Allen last October, and that
they will, therefore, be beaten again next Octo.
Der; and consequently in November, as well.
1t is further asserted that if the Democratic par
ty is beaten in Ohio in October, IL will so dis
courage the voters in other Statcsas to result in
the defeat OF the party in the Presidential cleo
ton In November. All this is utterly false, and
should be met at once. In the first place, there
is no warrant for the assertion that the Demo-
cratic party cannot carry Ohio in Presidential
election, because they were beaten in a Guber-
material contest. But suppose we do lose Ohio,
and Indiana as well that cannot defeat U.S.
The Democratic party does not depend on those
States for success. was present. last evening,
when this subject was discussed by several gen.
tlemen high in the counsels of the Democratic
party, and it was clearly demonstrated that q
Democratic President can be elected witho ut
the vote of either of those States. The South
ern States, which we are sure to carry will, with
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California
and Oregon, give us majority. While, on the
other hand, If we were to carry Ohio and lndi
ana, and lose New York and Connecticut, or
New York and New Jersey, we should be de-
feated. If, therefore, we do not depend on the
vote of Ohio and Indiana in November, the loss
of Ohio in October cannot affect us. We want,
and hope to carry, those States; but their loss
cannot defeat us.
THE PRESIDENTS $50, OUO SALARY.
The tenacty with which Grant holds on to his
1000 salary grab obtained in the first instance
by lobbying in favor of the pickpocket bill by
which every Congressman, on the last day ofhis
term, laid hands on s. 600 extra pay, was to have
been expected from the character of the man
whose whole appreciation of the Office he holds
is limited by its material advantages. 1t is true

The season has been an Improbable one, and

obtained for number of years. But few
