while the police here were watching those who

stopped at 10. Batlos, and was known to have
considerable money, also watch and heavy

removed from his face, leaving only mus

THE BRUCE no THE FORE.


1t is very evident that Senator Bruce, of
Mississippi, is determined to get even with
the world some way. If he can't get forty
acres of land and mule, he will at least
have the land and an academy, and such an
academy, too, as the world has never seen
a very prodigy. During the closing hours
of the session of the Senate the ebon-hued
representative of his race introduced bill
that is decidedly unique, it's provisions equal
ing in lucidity the renowned opinions Of
Jack Bunsby. The bill proposes to estab-
lish national academy of education, givinq
the preference to genius and talent, and the
land to the orphans of the Republic. It pro-
vides for the appointment of national
board of education who are to establish
academies in the several States,
and Congress is to appropriate an
nually one-third of the amount neces-
sary to their support, providing the State
contribute the other two-thirds. It further
provides that there shall be established in
the District of Columbia an academy on the
basis of equality with any university in the
world, which shall be the model for the
State academies.
We are glad to see that genius and talent
are at least to be appreciated and provided
with thirty eight academies patterned after
a model son the basis of equality with any

IHE New York Senatorship is beginning
to attract considerable atttenon among the
politicians of the metropolis. ConklinS is
OF course, a candidate, but is opposed by
Morgan, Everts and Curtis. He has, how
ever. the support of the custom house ring
for which be fought SO stubbornly and sue
cessfully against the administration. Everts
is lacking in personal popularity, though
his ability is admitted, while Curtis is the
candidate of the kid-glove aristocracy who
never elect anybody. His only formidable
foe, therefore, is Morgan, who, besides be-
ing acceptable to the administration, is on
good terms with the custom house gang.
Conkling, however, may be said to have the
best backing. He is supported by Jay
Gould's paper, and it is said that Tammany
Hall will give him whatever support may be
necessary to win victory. His espousal Of
the cause of Fenton during the last day of
the session of Congress has conciliated that
gentleman's friends, and he may count on
their aid. Altogether it is very probable that
Conkling will be his own successor, and will
continue TO be thorn in the side of the
President until his fraudulency shall step
down and out of office.

HE execution of the murderers Sherry
and Connolly at Chicago yesterday for a
most atrocious murder, may prove whole
some lesson to the sluggers and slashers Of
that depraved city. Although there have
been over three hundred murders committed
in Chicago since August, 1871, the date of
the last execution, the perpetrators
have all escaped the gallows, and
many of them are now roaming
at large unwhipt of justice. This laxity in
the execution of the law has no doubt en-
boldened the murderously inclined to deeds
of violence. They have been wont to de-
clare that hanging was played out in that
city, and snapped their fingers at the officers
of the law. If this double execution is fol-
lowed up by few more incidents of the
same sort, human life may become reason
ably safe in Chicago.
