THE Democratic press fnds consolation in
the fact that the Revised Statutes provide
for the punishment of executive officers OF
the Government who give or receive money
from other officers for political purposes.
Secretary GoRHAM has already been in
dicted, sentenced, and put at hard labor,
working out ane of $500, more or less,

Baltimore GdEcte for his violation Of
this law. The mere fact that he is
not an executive, but simply legisla-
tive, officer does not interfere with this ca
lamitous result-on peper. We are glad
to hear, however, that his " at hard labor. "
Ths more he does of it in his line, the worse
it will be for the Democracy.

This institution, subject of State benefcenCe,
is dong a noble work in furnishing a home for
the children of those who fell in the late rebellion.
FROM the report of the Lady Managers recently
made, we learn that at the commencement of the
Home year, now closing, the number of hildren
in the family was sixty nine. During the year
twelve have been admitted, making the whole
number in the family at any time eighty-one. OF
these seventeen have been removed in various
ways, as follows: Eight have been placed in fam
lilies, which are, we believe, good and suitable
homes for them particulars in regard to these are
appended to this report; five, at the request of
their mothers, have been restored to them; three
have died, and one has been placed in the Gen
eral Hospital IN Portland; and AS this arr angc-
ment was made without any consultation with
the Managers of the Home, the institution is
relieved of any responsibility in regard to II.
There has been prevailing disease in the
family during the year. There were few cas-
es of whooping cough last winter, and in the
course Of the year few mild cases of scarla-
tina. There have been three deaths in the fam
lily this year.
Tho children attend the public schools of this
city, and make good progress. At home the
girls are taught housework and sewing all who
are old enough make their own beds. They
sing play games, and engage in amusements of
various kinds. On the Sabbath, all who are cid
enough attend church and Sabbath schools.
The annual meeting Of the Home Association
was held on Monday, and the following officers
were chosen for the ensuing year:

the salary of the high school teacher and left him
with one assistant, thus practically aboiishng
that branch of our educational system. But
screw is little loose in the reckoning. These

previous meeting put certain SUN Of money
into the hands of the Directors for their in

nothing will be done TO cripple the efficiency Of
the schools. The speeches of W. II. smith Esq,

standard Of our schools, were manly, truthful
aud eloquent, while many OF the remarks on the
other side of the question were unworthy the geu-
