A RELIGIOUS TiDE-An exchange

church, in Brooklyn, N Y, concludes to
withdraw from the Presbyterian do

YES. .HLS PLAIN DUTY"


The editor Of the Lancaster Mtelh-
gencer very appropriately alludes to a
public measure In this way:
"The December number OF the School
Journal contains the following an-
nouncement from DR.. J. p. Wicker
sham, Superintendent of Public In.
struclion
DEPARTMENT oy Public IssrRucuos,
Harrisburg. December, 1879.
STATE APPROPRIATION
No money can yet be had with which to pay
the State appropriation 10 the school districts
or the millions Of dollars due for the school year
ending June last. not dollar has been paid. II
Is hoped this condition Of Affairs will not last
much longer, but no one 70 At preseE. st3- ,'-ss
when II will cad. All Q oncerped msy rest as-
sured, however, that the warrants will bo sent as
soon as tho State Treasurer 10 able or willing to
cash them.
"Now, this isla mere begging ci the
question and shirking Of positive
duty on the part of DR.. Wickersham.
The Constitution provides that the
General Assembly shall appropriate at
least one million dollars annually for
the support Of the schools there is no
pretense even that the General Assem-.
bly, has not done 80. The law enjoins
the Superintendent TO draw his war.
ran. on the State Treasurer Tor the
quota of the appropriation due the sew
eral school districts. The law does
not say that he may draw bis war.
rants 'as soon as the State Treasurer
is able or iciliing TO cash them 1t says
the Superintendent shall draw his war
rant-wlthout regard to the condition
OF tho Treasury, or the wiH OF the
Treasurer. The Treasurer may be a
thief or defaulter. He may nerr be
able TO cash the warrants, or, If able
may not be iciiiing to do 80. The Su-
perintcndent's duty is a plain one IL
is to draw his warrants forthwith (he
ought 10 have done SO long ago. on
the Treasurer, without stopping to in
quire whether that functionary is will
ing or unwilling, able or unable, to cash
them. Nobody expects the Superin.
tendent to cash them, nor will be be
held responsible should the Treasurer
fail to cash them. Whatever trouble
there may be in this regard will be
settled between the State Treasurer
and the several School Boards; and
DR.. Wickersham has no more to do
with the matter than the smallest boy
in primary school. DR.. Wicker.
sbam's position in this matter is en-
tirely indeiensible. A million of dol
lars belonging TO the schools is in the
hands of somebody who, without a
shadow of right, is having tho use of it.
Every School Board in the State should
at once demand its quota, and we much
mistake the temper of the Lancaster
School Board il it does not at once lead
the column. 1t has already lost heavi-
ly through the orookedness of the
Treasurer Of a banking house, who was
not able or willing to pay the school
funds deposited in his keeping. The
difficulty in that case was that q war.
rant for the money was not drawn
quite soon enough"

mits that "the fundamental doctrines

Of government When they are up

the government are removed from

life languisbes and the future becomes

A PRETTY GOOD LICK.

The editor Of the Washington Post
wanted the Democratic Senate to re.
Ject the appointment of Secretary
McCrary as Judge; but he was con-
frmed. He now cauterizes the men,
bers in this way;
ain order to make determined
fight against the Fraudulent Admins
tration in the matter of appointments,
the Democrats in the Senate need q
Republican to lead them. Without
this assistance they meet disgrace as
well as defeat. Witness the case OF
Arthur and Cornell, of the New York
Custom House, as compared with that
of McCrary.' Again;
"Was there no single Democratic
Senator out of the forty or more who
were assembled in the Senate yester.
day, possessed Of sufficient courage or
resolution to speak Of McCrary as he
deserved when his nomination was re.
ported ? Or is it TO be the policy ol

THE INDIANA PLAN.

wrought on its unfortunate victims
much greater injury than has yet been
inflicted. Over wide section OF North
Carolina, in localities where tho blacks
prcponderate, they have become in
iatuated. The widest stories Of sud
den riches, social equality and political
preferment, TO be attained by going to
Indiana, have been industriously circu-
lated among them by hired cmissaries
and have found ready crcdeuce.
The credulity OF the plantation
negro is Commensurate with his igno.
rance OF the world. These deuded
people have seen nothing Of the world
except their present surroundings
Most Of them have never been outside
Of their own counties. Those who
were not children when freedom was
given TO them cannot read or write.
They do not know of the poverty that
exists in other places, and are readily
made TO believe that their condition is
worse than that of the poor, the igno-
rant and dependent of any other State
or section. Thus they are easily duped
by the creatures sent among them Ia
stir up spirit Of restless discomfort
and lure them away from comparative
comfort to settle in State where they
are not wanted by any body except
reckless political trlckstcrs, aud where
their labor will not bring them 80
much Of Substantial comfort Us they
have hitherlo enjoyed
There is absolutely no evidence that
they have been i'll treated by the whites
among whom they have lived. They
donot allege abuse, and the most griev-
GUS of their Complaints are that they
can't get goods as cheap on credit AS
they could for cash, and that they have
not been able 10 accumulate property.
Men with six or eight children feel
that their lot is exceptionally hard, be
cause they have not laid up money.
or course such complaints are childish
to the last degree, but, frivolous as
they are, they indicate very clearly
that, instead of rough usage, they have
experienced that Kindness and liber.
allty ior which the rural population of
North Carolina have always been
noted.
The underlying cause of all this
trouble is a despicablo and desperate
political scheme. The leaders of the
