In THE COURSE of long, prosy ar.i-
Gle, the Euery Erening, yesterday, at
tempted to explain the reason for the
existing financial troubles between the
school Board and the City Council.
The reason is plain and simple. Under
the change Of laws passed by the last
two Legislatures, and by the generous
cooperation Of City Council, the Board
received its full appropriations for 1878
and 1879, without waiting for the school
taxes for those years to be collected.
These taxes, however, as they were COL
lected, were deposited in bank, to the
. credit of the Board of Public Education.
For awhile, the Board honestly return
cd them to the Council, by orders drawn
In favor Of the City Treasurer, but for
some unexplained reason, this plan was
stopped by the Board, about year ago,
and the school taxes have been accun-
ulating ever since, until they aggregated
over $4,000
II Is true, as alleged by those who
were not in favor of The Board return
Ing this money to the city, that the sur
plus thus occasioned was caused by the
accumulation Of taxes levied solely for
the support Of the public schools. But
1t is also true that the Council paid the
school appropriation out of tdres leuied
solely for the current expenses Of the city.
The payment of money to the School
Board before the collection of the school
taxes was simply, TO use homely but
suggestive phrase, stalking from Peter to
pay Paul." But Paul (the School
Board) having received from Peter
(the City CounciD money enough
to run the schools until the school taxes
came N, refuses to pay back to Peter
the money 50 generously advanced.
This is the whole situation in nutshell.
and no amount of specious argument
can disprove this position.
When Council in January, appropriat-
cd to public schools the sum of $6e, SOC;
1t was with the distinct understanding
that the Boards surplus would be re.
turned to the city, as was stated at the
time by the chairman of the Finance
Committee. Having been deceived in
this matter, 1t is competent for the
Council to now rectify its error BY
amending the appropriation ordinance
30 as to reduce the appropriation for
public schools to the extent of the

THE efervescence of the Republican
- quite superhuous. Its anger is
aroused at the GAZETTE because the
latter does not show the least intimida-
hon or dread Of all the threats that may
emanate from it, or the grand array of
q. 5. Supervisors. The election will be
conducted under the State laws Just the
same as though no Supervisors had been
appointed; and Democratic victory
achieved In defiance OF all the scrutiny
that may be indulged either of registra-
tion or Of the voting at the polls. The
sting has been drawn from such U. s.
Court threats since the trials will be
before impartial jurors, and not before
negroes and whites summoned to court
without regard to testimony.
OF one thing the Republican might be
ashamed and that is of the fact that
some Of those who are vouchlng for
negroes and urging them TO be assessed
and pay up, have not yet paid their
taxes aud may If they don't look sharp,
be returned as errors. Democratic
voters pay their taxes and hence they are
secure in the right to vote.

10 fCAMERoN's success in securing the
vote Of Pennsylvania for Grant in the
Republican National Convention, is
astounding to bis own party in Phila-
delphia and many parts Of Pennsyl
vania. 1t could hardly be otherwise.
Mr.. Cameron is himself q Senator of
the United States representing Penn
sylvania. This position sivos him great
power over all the government offices in
that State. But how he could control
the voice OF four millions of people so
Intelligent as the people of the Key
Stone State claim to be, is a mystery to
the uninstyucted that is quite perplex-
ing; and only shows how careless
the people are of their own interest /;
their own liberty we might well say.
Cameron believes the people fear
Grant. He says as much, He wants
Grant therefore to overawe the voice of
the multitude. Unfortunately Cameron
Is backed In this position by heavy
capitalists and railroad magnates.
