The attention of parents is called to the
fact that the attendance is far from what
it should be. The punctuality, also, is
poor. 1t is impossible for children to adj
vance as rapidly in their studies as they
should, if they do not attend school reg
ularly and punctuallv. See to it, pa
rents, tnat your children are sent in good
season, and on every day on which it Is

THE Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday last
says: yesterday the Third Street banks
refused to pay any premium on gold,
while they were free sellers at nc. Re
sumption is with us.'' 1t is hardly nee
essary for Congress to take up time in
legislating for the repeal of the Resump-
tion Act, for resumption is here. AS it
regards resumption, there has never been
much difference of opinion among the
Republicans. While some may have
doubted the propriety of the passage of
the Resumption Act, at the time-and we
among this class-all, we think, have been
in favor of resumption just as soon as it
could be done without injuringthe trans
actions of the legitimate business of the
country. The passage of the Silver bill,
the law to prevent the contraction of the
greenback currency, and the fact that We
had large balance of trade in our favor
has made resumption possible and prac
ticable, as the events of every day fully
demonstrate. What we want now, ant
what the country wants, is to let the cur
rehcy alone; let it rest, and prices, ira Il
aud commerce will, like water, find theil
level.

The Election in South Carolina,

The Election in South Carolina.
The late election in South Carolina was
no better than a miserable farce. Neith-
er law nor justice were regarded by the
Democratic usurpers. Republican voters
were driven from the polls and denied the
right of suffrage. Ballot boxes were
stuffed with Democratic tickets printed
on tissue paper, differing in size and
Quality of paper from those of the regu-
ular Democratic tickets, or the regular
Republican tickets, being much narrower
ana shorter than either; and in many
cases more ballots were found in the box
e. than there were names on the poll
books. United States Supervisors OF
E ections were beaten and driven from the
polls. The large r Rspublcan tickets W ere
taken out of the boxes and these small
Democratic tissue paper tickets, without
regard to limit in numbers, were substi-
tuted for Republican tickets. At one
poll $500 of these little Democratic tissue
tickets were stuffed into the box after the
polls had been closed. Out of this same
box 1868 ballots were counted, and the
managers refused to throw out any OF
them, and returned but 46I for Mackey
the Republican candidate, and BIOS for
his opponent, O'COnnOr, and at other
polls in Charleston the same kind of vii
lainy was perpetrated.

THE Democratic papers in this State are
doing a good deal of growing over the re-
suit Of the elections in the Southern States
where, if a colored Republican should
undertake to go. to the polls to vote, he
did so at the risk of his life. The Demo
cratic papers always have been in the
habit of exulting over victories in the late
rebellious States, whether it was at the
polls or in their bloody efforts to destroy
the Government.

On Saturday night last, four stores in
ChillicOthe were broken into by burglars,
and valuable goods taken from each. So
frequent are the burglaries that there is
no longer any safety for our homes or
business houses, and it has become neces-
sary that the doors and windows of every
and means OF defense should be kept i'm
Convenient reach of the occupants, and
should be used fearlessly when their
houses are entered by sneak-rhieves and
burglars. We have certainly come upOr
evil Itfmes, and some means Of protection
should be adopted to protect ourselves
and our families against these outrages

TIE election for Probate Judge, in
Hamilton county, has been contested by
c. B. Montgomery againstJudge Isaac B.
Matson. 1t seems, from the evidence in
the case, that the tally sheets and number
of names on the poll books do not agree,
and that they have been tampered with
since the election. Some of the poll
books had been returned to the county
clerk without being sealed up as required
by law. 1t is about time this thing of
tampering with poll-books, tally-sheets
and ballot-boxes, after the count has been
made and the pOll-books sealed, was stop
ped. 1t looks very much as though our
boasted system of free suffrage and the
purity of the ballot-box was fast drifting
into mere farce.
