GEN. BARLow's MISTAKE General
Francis G. Barlow is beginning to find
that Republican craftsmanship and
common honesty are incompatible,
and he has been offered the alterna-
tive OF surrendering his honesty or be-
ing drummed out of tho party.
During his visit TO Florida be en-
deavored to reconcile his desire to
serve his party with his convictions Of
principle, and as soon as he was in
formed Of the true condition Of affairs
he discovered that he was expected TO
play the part Of q liar, perjurer, ana
a thief. AS he did not, like Index
Noyes, expect foreign mission, as he
had no son to pension in the Custom
House as had Aliunde Joe Bradley,
there was no bribery which could have
paid him for being scoundrel.
As he could not have been scoun.
drel under any circumstances, the Re.
publican managers should have let
him alone, knowing that they bad no
use for him. But he has been to Flor
ida, he has studied the facts, and be
has testified that the vote OF the State
was honestly given to Tilden, and was
iraudulenuy stolen for the benefit Of
Hayes and the Republican party,

thing to make record on tho wrong

think that in the present shape the leg.
islature needs to take action ut all. 1t
is properly a matter for the courts to
determine whether Allegheny county,
or the State, u responsible. II the
courts decide that it rests with the
State, the duty of the Legislature is
then plain, It must bo paid by the State
If the courts decide that the county is
liable, II is not likely any members out

pay the losses out of the State Treasu.

JOE BRADLEY'S DECISION.

Judge Hoadlcy, of Cincinnati, deliv.
cred an address Saturday night before
the Hamilton County Democratic Club,
on that fruitful topic, "The Electoral
Commission" He drew the curtain
from the past in very effective man.
ner. Indeed, the story OF 1867 can
not DO too often repeated before the
Americans, and the Judge was espe.
cally graphic on that Florida business.
After relating the steps which led 10
the order for second count, he said /.
Here was the Supreme Court say
ing, count Manatec, Hamilton, jackson
and Monroe, and here was Zach Chand-
Ter, trembling with fear lest the wick
ed Democracy should get the Presi.
dency, saying, You have got to count
them, but throw out something else
And the State Returning Board very
quietly took Baker county and cut out
Darbyyille and Jacksonvllle, and gave
Mr.. Hayes 46 majority In the State.
That is how Florida came TO be called
u Republican State. Are you surpris-
ed that the people OF Florida are not
IN love with the Republican party ?
What did Florida dof Did il submit
10 this outrage2 Tho new Returning
Board, lnaugurated with the incoming
OF q Democratic State administration,
made o re canvass OF the State and
announced that Tilden and Hendricks
had carried il, and on the same 26ih
of January tho Legislature sanctioned
the rc-canvass, and put the broad seal
Of the State of Florida upon tho result
by law, Yot, when the Electoral Com.
misslon met the ground on which the
vote of the State was counted for
Hayes and Wheeler was the last
ground that would suggest itseli--the
reason was the sacred doctrine OF
States rights. They had stolen The
vote, therefore the State had tho sa.
cred right to have il stay stolen. They
had stolen the vote, therefore no pow.
er existing in the United States could
legally reclaim the stolen property"

authority or PARENTS
OVER THEIR CHILDRENS
SCHOOL STUDIES.

In tho case of Trustees OF Schools
against Van Allen, the question as TO
what right the parent has 10 direct the
studies pursued by his child who ut
tends public school is considered. IL
is held that the trustee of school dis.
lrict may prescribe what studies may
be pursued and may regulate the class.
ification Of the pupils, but that par.
ent may select from the branches pur-
sued those which the child shall study,
50 l0ng as the exercise of such selec.
ton does not interfere with the system
prescribed for the school, and that they
cannot bo excluded from one study
simply because he is deficient IN anoih-
or. In this case the pupil Was denied
admission to public high school be-
cause OF his deficiency iu u Knowledge
Of grammar, which bis father had for
bidden him to study, He had asked
to be admitted 10 pursue only those
studies which he was sufficiently pro.
ficcnt in to pntitle him 10 admission TO
the high sshool, Tho Court held that
u rule Nquiring his exclusion was un
reasonable and could not bo enforced.
In Morrow against Wood, in Wiscon-
sin, a father directed his child who at
tended public school, TO study only
certain branches among those taught
in II school. The teacher, with notice
Of such direction, required the child to
study other subjects, and upon his re-
fusal TO do 80 whipped him. This was
held 10 he an unlawful assault.
In RnIeson against Post, in Illinois,
girl, l6 years OF age. was in attend
ance upon u public school, to the bene-
fit OF which she was entiiled, and was
in u class which, by the COZ re Of study
prescribed by the directors oi the school,
was required to study bookkeeping.
Under the direction of her parents she
refused 10 pursue the study, and Tor
that reason was, by the teacher, acting
under the order OF the directors, forci-
bly, expelled from the school. The
Court held that the directors aud teach
er were all liable in an action OF tres

prescribe such rule or TO authorize
the teacher to enforce it.-Aibany(N n.

STATE ROBBERS.

1t seems to be impossible these days
to construct any public building with.
out plundering the Treasury. Even
the charity venders, who build our
hospitals, steal as boldly as the old
canal rats did in their palmiest days.
The Philadelphia Record, in alluding
to what is going on now, says;
"Among the various methods resort
ed 10 to darken the public mind as TO
the course pursued by the Norristown
Hospital Commission the effort has
been made, by reckless assertion, to
make it appear that tho Warren Hos
pital Commission has been equally de-
relict in its duties, apparently upon
the principle that two wrongs make
one right. 1t has been publicly as.
serted that the Warren hospital has
greatly exceeded its proposed cost. AL
though II would not mend matters for
the Ncrristown Commission II this
were true, reference to the Official
report for 1878, just published, settles
this question beyond all contradiction.
The commissioners, DR.. William Cor
son, Gen. James A. Beaver and DR..
John Curwen, say;
The original estimate for the con-
struction OF the buildings was s962,-
900, and TO that must be added $780,
900 for fire proofng, not included in
the original estimate; and yet, if the
appropriation now asked for is made,
they will have been able TO complete
the whole building, with the price u
the land and everything included, for
s870,000; or il the expense OF the
farm and the farm buildings TO be
erected is deducted, the whole cost OF
the hospital proper will be $4,000
Had the money necessary all been ap-
prOpriated at the commencement, the
hospital could have been finished two
years since, and at less rate than
has now been possible
This settles the question The two
hospitals are intended for the same
number of patients, AT Warren, 9
stone three and iour.story Gre.proo
building, complete, with every appli
ance of q first.class modern hospital
costing tico hundred thousand dollar
less than its ongnal estimate at Nor
rstown, a brick two story building
:, with no pretence to fre-proof costruc
ton, Ind without some Of the most es
: sential requisites for heat and ventla
tion, costing coniessedly one hundre'
and serenity three thousand dollars NOR
than the estimate, and how muol
more besides 1t will cost is O thin
, which, in the words of Lord Dundrea
ry, mo fellow can find out The tw,
cases are in glaring contrast the on
redounding to the highest credit OF tn
Commissioners in charge Of 1t, and th
, other calling for the sharpest censur
, and the most thorough legislative in
vestigRtion."
