The leaders of the Republican party
have adopted quite novel way of man
ufacturing political buncombe. They
employ mean and unprincipled men to
90 South and start newspapers, in which
the meanest and vilest expressions OF
treason that can be thought of, are used,
against everything that exists north of
Mason & DiXon's line, and these articles
are extracted and sent to all the Repub-
lican papers of the north for publication.
50 you need not be surprised at anything
which appears in a Republican paper
and credited to Southern journal
Interstate.
Elsewhere in to days paper we publish
the actusl faets about the editor of the
Okolona, (Miss.) States, the paper we
presume the above squib alludes to. The
point we desire to make is that such
manufactured statements, utterly
untrue aud known by the writer to be
false, is hardly proper for paper that is
supposed to have some intelligent readers.
Ordinarily we would not dignity so bold
an asserLion-a manufactured falsehood
by noticing it, but the attempt made
in this case to mislead, deserves to be
called by its proper name. We believe
the editor of the later State knew better
at the time he penned the article-con-
sequently there is but one conclusion to
be drawn.

THE scHooL-BOoK LAW.

The County Attorny of Marion county
recently wrote to the Attorney General
for information concerning the new
school book law. His letter has drawn
from the Attorney General q circular
letter, in which the law referred to is
discussed at length. The Attorney Cen
eral decides, LIST, that the provision re-
quiring district school boards and boards
of education to determine upon uni
form series of textbooks to be adopted
and introduced in each separate branch
of study, is absolutely mandatory, and
must be complied with within six
months from the passage of the act. I'd,
where school boards had, prior to the
passage of this act, adopted uniform
series of textbooks, as required by the
act of 1876, they may re.adopt the series,
or different one, and the fve-years'
limit begins to run from the date of the
actual adoption. The law is SO far man.
datory as to authorize penal prosecu-
tions of school boards failing to comply
with its provisions. And finally, when
ever school board adopts, or re.adopts
a series of textbooks, such action is abso-
lutely final, and cannot be changed until
after the lapse of five years, except upon
the petition of four-fifths of the legal
voters of the school district interested.
1t would be we'll for School Boards
the State to determine, as
soon as possible, upon a uniform series of
textbooks, and as their decision il, for
the term of five years, final, the choice
should be made with unusual care and

THE rRUrH OF THE MATTER.

Tom Hubburd is the Democratic edi.
tor of the Belfontaine (Ohio) Examiner.
He rejoiced at the murder of Lincoln,
and uttered prayer that the time might
come rhen the bones Of the martyred Pres.
ident ,could be torn from the Craze and
strung on rires to be hung IN efiqy." He
begins to hope now that the period is APP
preaching. His nephew is one of the
writers upon the OkOlona Southern States,
and the uncle comes to his defense. He
says:
AS matter OF fact, the founder, editor and
owner of the Southern States newspaper is Col.
A. ii. Harper, an eX-Confederate soldier OF
tried and unquestioned courage, and a gentleman
whose ability and personal worth are widely
known and acknowledged in the South. That
Mr.. Herman is the author of majority Of the
articles attributed to his pen is undoubtedly
rect; that they approved by Col Harper (who
stands responsible for tnem), and sanctioned by
all true hearted Southerners, is also presumably
true. Will IL. keraan turning up few years
ago as u stranger in an obscure Mississippi town,
has.succeeded, by the force of his genius and the
vigor of his intellect, in getting the ear and COM
manding the attention, either in praise or adverse
criticism. of almost the entire country. He has
reason to be proud of what he has accomplished,
and we tender him our heartiest congratulations.
He likewise has AN opinion of "red
mouthed Radicals" and "bastard North
ern Democrats" and remarks:
When Northern red-mOuthed Radical journal
copies one of his trenchant articles in denuncia-
ton of the black amendments, or of Federal en-
croachments upon the rights of the States, and
vigorously calls attention to it as genuine Gre
feN Of Southern sentiment Mr.. Herman is re-
joced to know that the article was not written
in vain, but that ii has become food for Radical
indignation and digestion. Then again, when
one OF the small-bored Democratic editors above
described sails in and swears that the article in
question does not represent Southern opinion,
but simply the vagaries ola cowardly Northern
carpet-bagge ger, etc, and raves at the idea like
magnificent turkey-gobbler at red rag, Mr..
Herman is UNNECESSARILY happy, for lie feels that
above all uihers-a bastard Northern Democrat.
The bastard Northern Democrat by the way, is Il
person who, claiming TO be u Democrat, is yet
either grossly ignorant of the underlying princi-
piles OF iree government and constitutional liberty
or ba>ely recreant unto them.
1t is undoubtedly true that Herman
has. commanded the attention of almost
the entire country" but So did the Mol
ly Maguires and the Chisolm murderers,
and, tor that matter, the jackass with
Two heads that Barnum used to exhibit. !
1t is a question whether the faculty of
commanding attention is an evidence of
Inter- Ocean.

Well, yes. 1t is a revolution and no

The Inter State accuses our Represen-
tatives in Congress of deceiving the set
tiers and keeping the land troubles in
this county open for political purposes,
and says further that that question has
been used as political hobby for years.
Yes, John r. Goodin was the one who
rode to his political grave on that hobby
but since then politicians have not
burned their fingers to any great extent.
The league kept John r. in Washington
at their expense one winter and had only
the satisfaction of finding out just what
he was. 1t is decidedly cheeky for Good
ms organ to talk political clap trap at
this time about the land troubles. The
boy he left behind him is wild at times.

and he who doubts can be convinced:
"We propose to celebrate our return to

those degrading restrictions on freemen,
and by striking away the shackles which

stricken the last vestige of your war

Nearly two hundred Dunkards, or Ger.
man Bartists have recently settled in
Dickinson county near Abilene. They
bring with them their Bishop, ministers,
and full church organization, and no
colony has come west of the Mississippi
for years that is better equipped. They
are virtually one family, all of them be-
ing either related by blood or marriage.
They are unusually we'll off for emigrants,
some of the families being worth from
$50, 900 to $40, 900, and nearly all of them
are in comfortable circumstances

Cincinnati has a Board of Public
Works, the majority of which have been
Democrats, and it was regarded as a val
liable public organization. BY the result
of the election on the 9TH of April the
majority was made Republican, and al
ready bill has passed one branch of the
Ohio legislature turning out all of the
board and making their successors ap-
pointive by the police judge, the only
Democrat elected at the last election.

by Democrats, let alone done.-K. C..

Thus far the Democratic party has been
able to produce but two instances of the
sort of Intimidation" which the new
election law is to check. Senator Will
Jams witnessed one, and Senator Hereford
the other. As our Washington dis
patches show, the outrage upon the bal
lot box which General Williams saw was
committed while the war was still Ia
progress, and consisted in soldiers stack
ing their arms in the open square of a
Kentucky town and Mr.. Hereford's in
stance was not an instance at all, but
apparently mere blunder on the part
of his memory. The party should adver-
tise for ''horrible example"

The Democratic gentlemen who. uud,

The Democratic gentlemen who, under
the belief that they have captured the
Capitol at Washington, are driving
things so recklessly in Congress, can find
in the great unanimity among Republi-
cans of the country in favor of Gen.
Grants election in 1880 the response to
their proceedings. Between now and
1880 this unauimity for Grant will have
borne down all opposition. 1t will not
be confined to the Republican party
alone, but will extend generally to the
people of every Northern State. 1t will
be popular uprising. The majority in
Congress has practically declared war
against the Government. 1t has taken
steps to disband the army, shut up the
courts, and starve out the Government
by refusing appropriations for its sup
port. To that declaration of war the
North will respond in 1880 as earnestly.
and as eifectually, and as generally as it
did in 1861. The election of Grant will
become the National demand. The
starved government will be rescued, the
disbanded army will be reorganized, the
courts will be reopened, and the nation
once more placed in the hands of those
who will protect and not betray twill
preserve and not destroy it.
