The Morning Herald" refers to the
liberality Of Alabama in the provision
she has made for the education OF her
colored citizens, as an Offset to the
charges that are made by northern Re-
publican papers, accusing the South.
srn Democrats Of keeping the colored
people Of the South In ignorance, and
as a proof Of what it says il publishes
the following from the Motils "Regis'
ter"
"Hon. F. +. Box, the accomplished
and earnest Superintendent OF Education
for Alabama, has made his report Tor
the school year ending September 81,
1878. : .N....
The total school revenue was..... $s77, 6A
The amount appropriated to schools
was: .e x.,. M.
For white schools ................... s?lo,S4
For cOlored schools. ioo,@Ao
Our nsighbor thinks he has gained a
point when he refers to the above and
says: SIT is not fact, therefore, that
the Southern States are depriviDg the
colored race Of their proportion OF
school revenues, but on the contrary,
in a State like Alabama, where every
d apartment of Governments in Demo-
cratic hands, the negroes get large
share of the public funds, and that. too,
when it is we'll known that the use
made of it by the race is not such as q
care full State should permit"
He forgsts however to tell his readers
that this liberal provision was made
by Republicans which the Republicans
snprafted into the Constitution OF Ala
bama, since which time there has been
no State Constitutional convention
held, and therefore the Democrats
could not make change if they even
desired to do so. If the "Herald' Is real
ly anxious to find State where there
is an inequality of laws and where
the colored people are deprived of edu-
cation by the Democrats, it need not 60
80 fer away from home to find it. 1t
need not even go outside OF its own
adopted State of Delaware to find 1t.
The Democrats have been in power long
before the rebellion, and have had
every opportunity of showing their
liberality in the education Of the colored
people. Let us see the "Herald" make
up statistical table of the number Of
colored children educated at the ex-
pense of State munifcence in Delaware,
and will it let US know the amount of
money that Delaware appropriates for
the education of cOlored children COM
pared with the appropriations for the
education of white children. This will
be very interesting reading, and
then Delaware is so near home that
we know all about it. Indeed We know
of no State in the Union where Demo-
Gratis have had such grand opportu.
nifty to show their impartiality in the
education of her children than in Della.
ware. Then too Delaware is the home
of Thomas F. Bayard, the very embo-
diment of the boasted liberality Of South
ern Democracy. By all means let the
"Herald" tell us how Delaware cares
for her coIored children. II the "Her-
aid" can show wherein the State has
contributed solitary dime for the edu
cation of c,lored children We would
like to hear o. it. Tell us Herald"
tell US something about education in
Bayard's little State.

PHILADELPHIA is now revealing in the
excitement of the discovery of a rich
placer of Democratic frauds comm tilted
by that distinguished reform Democrat
Coroner Gilbert. The credit of expos,
ing the ghostly frauds belongs to the
Philadelphia "Record,' a Democratic
paper, and therefore the exposures can
not be- called Republican lies. DR.. Gil
bert it will be recolectsd was the Dem
ocratic candidate for Coroner and was
endorsed by the Reform party of Phila.
dslphia, hence his election. This is
one instance at least where reformers dc
not reform.

SINCE THE CONGRESSIONAL Committee
has been investigating the Cincinnati
plan of carrying ele ctions it has been
discovered that Eph. Holland, leading
Democrat was paid money by Mr.. But
terworth to aid him in his election, and
all the money paid was $50. Holland
was not asked even to vote for Mr..
Butterworth but simply to stop the
ballot box stuffing and repeating by
Kentucky roughs who generally come
across the river to vote in the Fourth
ward of Cincinnati. Holland though
paid small amount of money seems to
have done his work effectually as the
roughs were arrested, the ballot boxes
were not stuffed, and Mr.. Butterworth
was elected by good majority over Mr..
Saylor his Democratic competitor. We
think it would be a good idea for all
Republica rs to do as Mr.. Butterworth
did even If it should lead to Congression-
al investigation to know why the Re-
publican candidates would not allow
the ballot boxes to be stuffed and why
roughs who had no right to vote should
be prevented from do ng so.

The Ohio Democratic Ticket.

WHAT Is SAID
The action of the Ohio democrats yesterday
In nominating Generals Ewing and Rice to head

sagacity which surprised even the republicans,
or, as Secretary Sherman puts it, 81 did not
think the Ohio democrats would place in nomi-
nation such respectable ticket" Gen. Gar
field says the ticket Is strong One While he
does not think 1t will be elected, he admits that
no stronger combination could have been Sc
lected. The democrats generally are
DELIGHTED WITH TICKET
MacMahon, OF Ohio, says that il it cannot
sweep the state no other ticket could. He says
that Ewing can get the rank and file of the

or not. Gen. Ewing received quite an
ovation on the floor of the House

who has been at the head Of the committee for

Of his nomination about O'Clock last night.
Then followed a flood of congratulatory tele-
grams from his Ohio friends. Among the most
cordial were those from Gov. Bishop, Gen. Dur
bin Ward and Gen. Morgan. Soon after, the
General sent by messenger the news of his
nomination to his wife, who is in the city. She
replied" Your news Is stale. Over twenty
have called already to congratulate me, and
now do you come home and congratulate me
yourself
SATISFACTORY ALL AROUND.
Altogether, the nominations seem to give sat-
isfact!on all around. The republicans like
them because they say that the fight Will be
financial one and on that issue Ohio is repuD-
ncan state. They say the Germans will not
support Ewing because Of his greenback
theories. Per contra, the democrats say that
TIE republican party is q minority party in
Ohio, and that Ewing will get enough of the
greenback vote to elect him by handsome
majority.
