Doubtless this arrangement. will be
objected TO by such rs decline to pat
ronize the free schools, and receive
unmerrited abuse, but close observa-
ton as to the patrons and delinquents
has convinced us it is inst, as well as
economical. In neighboring sub
district, last year, prizes awarded by
the teachers for best attendance were
received by the children Of the largest
taxpayers in the district. This sea-
son the teachers monthly register
showed n like result, while n family
paying no tax did not send single
day. Therefore, Iconsider it no injus-
tice to the poor class, while they will
not send, to limit the term to four
months, and a few schools in each
district win accommodate all who
will send and be considerably cheap

FOR THE
Campaign Against National Fraud.

A President who was nor elected by the
people having been inaugurated at Wash>
ington through processes o. fraud, we call
upon honest men Ct all parties to rally to-
9ether in a determined and persistent eff
forts for the correction OF this great wrong
and for the punishment Of the guilty to be
enforced through the ballot box.
For this outrage upon the right Of self
government the Republican party and its
chosen managers are primarily responsible;
but the men who have taken Office through
such means and who are actually exercis-
ing the power of the Government upon
such authority are scarcely less guilty than
they who conceived and executed this un-
paralleled political swindie
The Fraudulent President and his advis-
ers having undertaken to forsake the an>
cient ways OF the Republican party; and
having invited Democrat and former
Rebel to occupy one Of the most important
ofiio in the Cabinet propose TO debauch
the honest public sentiment Of tie South
by the bestowal of Offices and by an enor-
nous system of Government subsidies to
railroads and canals, hoping thus to cons
plete in corruption the work begun in
fraud. At the same time with hypocrltio-
al pretences Of reforming the civil service.
they hatterihe vanity of Northern theorists
to the end that the great crime in which
this Administration is founded may be over
looked and condoned.
Against this complex scheme, as against
the consprators with whom it origin tied,
we cali upon the people to commence im>
mediately campaign alike merciless aud
pertnacous. We promise them that from
the beginning to the end THE SUN shall
rever be found laggard or timorous in this
holy crusade; and we invite new recruits
from every quarter to join in the movement.

The Local Paper.

In reference to the home paper and
the duty of the public to sustain it, a
contemporary very truthfully re
marks: 1T is duty that every man
owes to the community in which he
lives, and to himself, TO take his local
paper first, then any other he may de
sire, and if he can afford it he should
send ii to his friends abroad and let
them know week by week what he is
doing. By this means the country be
comes known abroad, the paper is
passed from hand to hand, inquiry is
stimulated and population attracted,
and the subscription, like bread cast
upon the waters, will return many
days with large increase A good 10
cal paper is better advertiser of a
place than anything else; it not only
conveys information itself, but it is
quoted from by others. Thus the
name of the town and county are kept
continually before the public"

MORE STEAImG.-Some hungry
thief entered j. w. Caracas kitchen
Sunday night and helped himself to
loaf Of breed and two jars of black
berry butter. He emptied the con
tents of one jar in the yard, and left
the jar, but took the other one with
him. He should have procured more
blackberry butter, as three gallons
are scarcely enough to make loaf of
bread palatable.
