FUNDING THE SCHOOL DEBT.-The
County Commissioners, by vote of four to
one, on Monday passed an order to issue the
bonds of the county, in payment of the
public school debt. The law under which
the Commissioners have acted authorizes
them to issue bonds to an amount not ex
ceeding $4,000, but having appropriated
over $4,000 last year towards paying the
school debt, which has thereby been reduced
to $2l 900, they determined to issue bonds
amounting in the aggregate to that sum.
OF this amount $4,000 will mature in 1878,
$4,000 in 1879, and $4,000 in each of the
years 1880, 1881, 1882 and 1885,
None of the bonds will be sold at less than
par, and the amount realized, provided all
the bonds are sold, will relieve the School
Commissioners entirely of debt 1t is be-
lleved the bonds can be sold mt par, as they
offer II safe investment, AID are exempt from
taxation.

MENDING OUR WAYs.-The County Com
mlssloners have recently caused to be turn
piked about 26O yards of road at Bynum's
hun Bridge, on the road from Bel Air TO the
Hickory. This piece of road, for many years,
has been the worst between Bel Air and
Conowingo Bridge, and must have been a
terror to market and church goers. Its per-
manent Improvement shows wisdom on the
part OF the Commissioners. The people of
the county, we are sure, will not complain
on account of money well spent on our pub.

President Hayes's friends are reported
to be deeply engaged in an intrigue to secure
the organization of the next House of Rep
resentatives. 1t is not likely they will sue
coed, however. The gratitude which the
Southern people might have felt for the re-
storation of Home Rule in South Carolina
and Louisiana, is embittered with the con-
seriousness that the act was delayed as long
as possible, and was done neither gracefully
nor graciously, but simply because large
| majority of the American people demanded it.
1t is safe to presume, therefore, that South
ern representatives will not be eager to trust
the fate OF their section to Republican hands
in Congress. On the other hand, Hayes, in
listening to the voice of the people, and
choosing to obey them rather than the ultra
leaders OF his own party, has aroused storm
OF Indignation among the latter which he
will find it difficult to weather. He is
openly charged with having sold out his
party to the Democrats, and TAINTED witt
ingratitude towards tic men who boldly
subverted law and justice to make him Pres
ident. No act of justice or right can atone
for the fraud committed in his behalf, and
as long as he is regarded by the American
people as an usurper, he will be obliged TO
suffer the consequences.
The Republican State officials in South
Carolina, who decline to retire with their
Chief Chamberlain, have received peremp
tory notice from Gov. Hampton to evacuate
the offices to which they hold no legal title
by election or appointment. Like barnacles
on ships bottom, they will be removed
with difficulty.

The Railroad.

The friends of the Baltimore, Towsontown
and Delta Narrow Gauge Railway have set
to work in earnest, and the prospect that the
road will be made is very favorable Mr.. S.
G. Boyd former President of the Peach
Bottom Narrow-Gauge Railway, has under
taken the work of soliciting subscriptions
and rights of way, and on Monday, assisted
by committees of canvassers, the work was
regularly and Systematically commenced at
the Little Gunpowdcr.
Two routes are suggested, both of which
will be thoroughly canvassed by Mr.. BOYD.
One of these is by way of the Rocks of Deer
Creek, Twining's Valley, Long Green and
Towsontown to Baltimore. This route
would leave Bel Air on the east, distance
ofperhaps six miles. The other route is by
way of the Rocks of Deer Creek to Bel Air
and thence 10 Baltimore by the most feasible
inc.
The route chosen will depend, we imagine
upon the liberalty of the people in subscrib-
ing and granting the right of way. There
fore if the citizens of Bel Air and the neigh
borhcod Immediately surrounding it want
the railroad to touch the county seat they
must be up and doing They must not only
subscribe to the capital stock and grant the
right OF way, but must also contribute to.
wards the expense of the canvass in this di-
recton. A large and increasing interest is
manifested by those in favor of the
winnings Valley route, and in Baltimore
county the people are, for the first time
aroused on the subject. Committees have
been organized 10 aid Mr. Boyd in the can.
Yass, and altogether, the efforts to make the
road appear to be better directed, and we be-
lieye with more likelihood of success This

Boss TwEED's CONFEssIoN.-Wm NJ
Tweed, of New York, whose gigantic and
successful plunlering schemes, arrest, trial,
escape and subsequent re-capture have given
him notoriety he never could have attained
in any other manner, has made full confess
sion, giving detailed account of the vast
and systematic operations of the ring of
which he was chief lshowing how Leg
islature was bought, a mayor of New York
CITY elected to further the conspiracy, and
the method by which the public was robbed
Among those implicated are ex-Mayor
Oakley Hall, whose share of the plumber was
ten per cent, and whose sudden flight is thus
accounted for. Hugh Hastings, editor of the
New York Commercial Advertiser, received
from Tweed 100000 for advocating the mass.
age OF the charter which which placed New
YORK city at the mercy of the thieves, Re
publicans and Democrats figure alike in the
history as participants in the crime, Tweed
says he has been deserted by those who
shared with him the i,l.gotten gains, and
now proposes to turn States evidence.
The plan adopted by the ring was to COM
pei contractors for public work to increase
the amount of the bills they presented.
These were passed by the Board of Audit
and ordered to be paid-Tweed and his con-
Misunderstanding the surplus charge, and
paying the contractor only the original
amount of his bill. The utmost consterna.
ton exists among those who shared with
Tweed, and explanations will be in order for
some time to come. One pleasant fact stands
out in Tweed's confession, namely that Sam
uel j. Tilden was his determined foe, opposed
his schemes, and finally brought him to JUS
tice.
