The Democratic editors seem to be
getting scared at the work the Legis-
lature is not doing. and frantically
call on Democrats to 80 to work and
enact some laws that will, at least.
have the appearance OF benefitting
somebody. From lake Michigan to
the Ohio river these papers are de-
elaring that this Legislature is squan-
dering the peoples money at rate
unprecedented in the history Of Law
making in this State, and they think
that as the Legislature is Democratic
the people will hold ti.at party re
sponsibls. And 1t Is not improbable
that they will, but the people ought

Democrats TO Indianapolis TO make

and we heartily indorse his method OF
teaching history. Next came physi-
ology. which was recited with accu-
racy and promptnsss, followed by
grammar, 1t being the pupils favorite
study; this class certainly Is without
an equal. Arithmetic came next Ia
order, tho recitation Of which was
also excellent and complete; and.
lastly, came geography, on which
twenty minutes time was allowed,
and which proved to be the most in
terssting recitation OF all. The pu-
pills drew a map OF South America,
locating mountains. capes, bays. CULTS,
islands and capitals all from memory,
with great accuracy. The pupils did
honor to themselves and credit to the
teachers. and deserve the praise of all
well-wishers OF education. After this
visit to Mr.. Atkinson's school, we
heartily indorse the notice In last

4 Washington special says: There
Is no doubt Of the passage OF the bill
by the Senate, restricting Chinese
emigration by q majority proportion
stely as large as that given in the
House. The Chinese legation are
very much sgitated on the subject.
A member of the legation said that
they had not anticipated any such
legislation and had taken no thought
a. o acti. in case the bill passed,
which speared very r robsble to them.
They could not allow the bill to be
signed by the President, however,
without entering a protest against
what was plainly violation OF trea-
ties with China. Further than this
they could not anticipate their action.

Nearly all the Southern papers
that supported Tilden for the nomi-
nation In 1876, are now bitterly op-
posed to his nomination In 1880. A
free use Of the contents OF that new
barrel which he Is supposed to have
opened, may however, bring them
round In his favor.
Hon. Zach Chandler said, In his
speech accepting the nomination fol
Senator, that Tilden was the greatest
fraud on earth, and that, so far az bis

was concerned, there was not thing
done that he would be ashamed to
SEQ in print.

Tilden's testimony before the Potter
