Senator Chandler denies that he has
offered the Government 100000 for its
uses as fund to pay United States Mar

easily get all the money needed for the

that he is in no sense candidate for the
Presidency.
IT is reported that while Jay Gould
was on his Western trip he narrowly es-
capped from plot to kidnap him. A band
of desperate train robbers were posted
along the unguarded Snake river plains,
on the line of the Union Pacific, with
the idea of catching Gould as he should
pass through to Ogden. With him in
possession, they proposed to take him
across the border into British territory
and keep him until he agreed to$pay an
immense ransom. One of the party,
cutter than the rest, disclosed the plot
for liberal reward, and the millionaire
escaped.

We WouId Like to Know.

When Thomas Ewing went into the
army, was he not a Republican? We
ask any Democrat the question.
If Tom. Ewing were in a Republican
Congressional District to-day, we ask any
candid Democrat if he believes he would
now stand at the head of his party
ticket?
If Tom. Ewing had not lost all his
money in specializing in coal lands, we
ask any person who knows him if, in his
opinion, he would now be an infationist
If Tom. Ewing we're not demagogue,
and were sincere in his Greenback doc
trine, we would like to know if any
thing but office from the Democrats
could prevent him from joining the
Greenback party ?-Salem Republican.

A North Carolina Democratic paper,
the Greensboro's State, speaks very plain
ly concerning the folly which has driven
Northern capital and enterprise out of
the South. 1t says: ut is sad fact for
this worn-out and famished state that of
the thousands of men who came thither,
invested their means, and attempted to
make homes under Republican rule, to-
day but few remain. At the loss of their
all they have wandered away to seek
home where they can speak their senti-
ments and vote as they deem best, with
out subsection to insult, abuse and vilif-
cation of such men as Gov. Vance. I'm
migrants from all countries and all states
pass North Carolina by. The carpet
baggers" lose all rather than remain,
and many of her own SONS seek in states
where schools, the polls and speech are
free, new home"

science can best be taught in the COM
mon schools, how should they be taught,
and what is their educational value ?
He said he believed that the study of
nature was of sufficient disciplinary val
ue to merit place in all school work.
Prof. Peasley advocated the shorten
ing of the hours of study in all grades
of schools, and gave examples of fpupiis
progressing just as much in half days
work as they did before in whole days
work.
What shall be the Minimum of School
Age?" Subject of paper read by NJ. S.
Turrill, of Cincinnati, was the first eXer-
else of the afternoon session; this was a
subject of much discussion. He gave
his experience relative to young children
attending school, and the ingenuity ex-
ercised by parents to get them into
school sooner than entitled by law.
Some of the speakers spoke fayorably of
kindergarten instruction.
]. J. Burns, the State School Com
missioner, offered a resolution that it
was the opinion of the Association that
the minimum school age of children in
this State be left as it is. Upon the
UcIllS puO IL W do
ried, though there were some dissenting
voices. A rising vote was called, which
resulted in a majority that the school
age be left as it now is.
Next, was Paper: Lessons from the
Hinsdale-Rickoff Discussion; Hon. W.
d. Henkle, Editor of Ohio Educational
Monthly. "Our Common School Educa-
tion," was the subject of Paper prepa-
red by B. A. Hinsdale, President of Hi
ram College, and read at the Northeast
ern Ohio Teachers Association, in 1876.
The committee of the Association ap-
pointed A. J. Kickoff to review the pa
per. From this arose the question, Is
the quality of our common school edu-
cation improving? Whether we read
and write, spell and cipher better than
our ancestors, one, two three genera
tiOns ago? He presented the West Point
and the opinion of Prof.
Church in 1875, that the candidates were
not so well prepared in arithmetic, read
ing and spelling as they were twenty
years before. He then presented ta-
bic of statistics showing the number ad-
mitted and rejected from 1888 to 1874
The discussion of this paper was the
closing exercises of the first day. l
would like to give the remarks of Hon.
T. w. Harvey, by whom the discussion
was opened, but space forbids- fear l

BISHOP HAVEN SAYS the abolitionism

BISHOP HAVEN says the abolitionism
was not born in Boston, but in Ohio.
William Lloyd Garrison, its acknowledge
ed father, did not learn it in New Eng
land. He had to go South to find its real
father. 1t was alive and fOurishing
when he took it up. He was its pupil in
Baltimore, and went to prison for his
obedience to its claims. 1t has usually
been considered that Baltimore was its
birthplace. Benjamin Lundy, it was
supposed, started his journal of eman-
cipation first at Baltimore and Lloyd
Garrison became his pupil, and after
ward the master. But the first issue of
the first abolition paper was in Ohio,
which, after several months, was remov-
ed to Tennessee, where it obtained a
wide circulation, and was for time the
only distinctive anti-slavery paper in the
country.

WHEN the two great Union soldiers
who are now acting as decoys for the Con-
federate Democracy were colleagues in
Congress, once upon a time, it became
necessary, in the course of Congressional
events, to elect a doorkeeper of the
House. General James Shields, Dem
ocrat and a MANNED hero of two wars,
and Charles w. Fiel1, rebel Brigadier,
were the opposing candidates. When
the name of Americas Vespucius Rice
was called, he arose and modestly said,
Il vote for Mr.. Field" And when the
name of the great and only General
Ewing was called, he responded: 81 am
paired with my collegue, Mr.. Gardner;
III he aoere present, a0ouLd Uote for Mr..
Field" And SO the Confederate Gen.
eral was elected over the brave Union
hero by an almost solid Democratic vote,
those of the two great Union
Generals aforesaid. And now the Demo-
cratic journals of Ohio are appealing to
soldiers to vote for these two renegade
representatives of the Union army
Amt it a little too cheeky ?-FostOria

GENERAL GARFIELD in a speech in
Congress few days before adjournment,
made telling point in referring to mill
tary interference at elections, when he
said that the only instance of the kind
he ever knew occurred when the Con-
federates were throwing shot and shell
at the Union army before Chattanooga in
1868, and the Ohio troops were casting
their votes for John BrOugh, that Clement
L. Valandigham might not become Gov
ernor of Ohio.

There were thirty five graduates, of whom
seventeen received appointments to

people of Washington, was of comse
greatly enjoyed by all who partook of it.

greater claims upon the people for office
than one who was not? Certainly not
