EXIT. 8. District Attorney Corbin,
counsel in the railroad cases, was held
TO bail yesterday in civil suit against
him by the State for the recovery of
$24,0OO. 1t appears that in 1875, the
State retained Corbn to prosecute a
claim against phosphate mining com
pany for royalty due the State that a
Judgment for $2S,OO0 was recovered, and
that Corbin paid into the State Treasury
only $206, retaining the balance as coun-
sci fees. The State will allow him only
5000 and expenses, the award of a ref.
cree, as his proper fee; hence the suit.
In the Louisiana Constitution Con-
vention, yesterday, articles were adopted
prohibiting the passage of any law fixing
the price Of labor; prohibiting all secta-
rian appropriations of money; prohibit
ing all determinations for or against
any religious creed, and all appropria-
tions to any except public institutions.
Also, forbidding Imprisonment for debt.
The Board of Pardons, at Harrisburg,
yesterday, refused TO commute the death

From the Louisville Courier-JournaL i
In contriyance, in machination, IN
cool, deliberate rascality, the poiitfcians
of the Democratic party are no matcn
fot the politicians Of the hepupiican
party, The contest is that party OF
Gentlemen forced by circumstances into
Z rame of cards with aparty OF gamb-
leiy. As long as physical forces were In
the ascendant, as long as the devices OF
scoundrelism prevailed, there was no
chance for the Democrats. But more's
the pity! as soon as the gamblers began
to unarrel among themselves over the
swae, the gentlemen began to differ
about the mode of dealing with and
Furnishing thieves and thus there is
still an equal contest when there
oupht to be no contest at all. In
the altercation, of couse, there is much
hot talk; and all this is seized by the
Republicans to prop themselves. VA. X
Now, we protest that neither MI. Beck
nor Mr.. Blackburn shall be sacrificed to
the clamor OF the foolish and the weak.
We take upon ourselves the RESPONSE
Bility for all they have said, we dismiss
them as far as Kentucky is concerned
from the controversy, and We propose to
speak in their room not only for Ken
lucky, bat for the whole South, when we
declare that it is the purpose of no con-
ciderable part of the population to pro-
seed to any length not distinctly granted
by the organic laws; that we do not pro;
pose TO starve the Government. 1t is
our army as much as the army Of the
wretches who pretend to its command.
1t is our government as much as II

Mineral Point High School


school year of the above named in
stitution, and few friends of edu-
cation dropped in to witness the
commencement exercises.
During the three years that Mr..
}. II. Terry, as Principal, has d-
rected the school, the result most par
ticularly noticeable and commenda.
bic is the marked improvement in
the morale of the pupils. lnstead
of being melted to and commended
for boldly plagiarizing the works of
others, students have been taught
that success can only be achieved
10y thorough, conscientious work
on their own part. However diff
cult the task and desirable the oh-
ject to change the actuating motive
of school from love of show and
seeming accomplishments, to a sim
cere desire for solid requirements
and knowledge for its own sake, the
higher tone OF the papers presented
by the pupils attest their successful
accomplishment From this time
on, if MIR, Terry be retained in his
present position (and we have heard
aud hope to hear 30 hint of IA con-
templated change) the progress Of
the school must be onward and up-
ward. Even now the school begins
to take rank with sister high schools
in other more favored localities, AMI
offers decided attractions to pupils
of neighboring schools seeking High
School education.
The exercises were quite satisfac-
tory, and some of the productions
promisingly me,itorious aud while
all were commen,lable, we may al
nde to few IN particular, without
disparagement to any.
The essay of Miss Anna Clark, on
''The Close of the School Year." was
well conceived, pleasantly delivered,
and characterized by that improved
tone to which allusion has been nade.
The recitation Of Miss Clara Meal,
"The impeachment Of Warren Hast
Jugs, being in an audible and dis
tinct voice, brought the scene before
the listener in vivid outline.
The material Of some of the papers
being necessarily all derived from
books, Of course deprived their writ
ers of tho power of imagination or
invention, which was available to
the other writer's,
The two principal productions
were hy the two members OF the
graduating class: Miss Lizzie Me-
collins essay on the effects Of En-
ulation." and James Goldswortby'
Grafton on "Ihe Relation of the
Public Schools 70 the State;' and
both did their authors credit.
In presenting the diplomas Mr..
Teiry took occasion to remind the
graduates Of the lessons constantly
taught il the school that they were
still bot students, not scholars, aud
rs yet only on the threshold Of

The importance of papers to the
village or county where published
cannot be estimated. The home
news is something that people can
not dispense with and cannot be
bought elsewhere. hn exchange
thus fairly presents the question:
FOR various reasons the larger
cities can send out their news at
quite as low prices. Families can
be furnished with knowledge Of all
the world for two dollars year and
postage. But there is something
they cannot buy in New York oi
Boston--local matter out Of which
home interest and enterprise grows;
it is local newspapers that get at
tie knowledge OF particular necessl-
ties to the value Of individual per-
sons ard means. All the improve
ments begin in ouf small centers-
become important forces by pers oDal
application, and of public va,Ge by
tie fostering care and attention Of
The local press. Then the local press
is such an individual as cannot be
n
swung into line to the help Of selfish
outside purposes. a towns inter-
ests are all closely interviewer with
those Of home organs of individual
expression aud home enterprise
Pelsons who neglect these for the
large bids of city dailies are like the
