We printed the Presidential vote
of this county exactly as given us by
our neighbor, with the assurance,
that he had taken it from the Official
records and Just as he printed it in his
issue of Nov. 11th. The Hancock
column is enormously footed in the
Democrat. 1t will only make ,2706
instead of Pill votes. If we were
in error we were led into 1t by our
neighbor. 1t ill becomes him to
write us down "dunce or ignoramus"
for following his tigures.-Register.
We don't think our .neighbor
would deliberately write a lie on any
subject, but in statements against
his political opponents he exhibits a
very treacherous and impaired, mem
DRY, and the above is not an excep-
ton. He did not receive the Presi-
Dental vote of Preble county from
us at all, but an unread proof of it
from one of the hands in the office,
which was not printed i'll the Regis
ter as in our issue of Nov. 18th.
The footings in the table we publish
ed were correct, but in the vote of
Israel township there was an error
of fUe, which we did not discover
until our whole edition was worked
off, and there is where our Uncle got
his foot into it by adding it up,and
the whole table.

That q majority OF the voters OF
this country have actually elected a
perjured man to the Presidency,
there is scarcely q shadow of doubt,
and the whineing of "small fry"
journals will not remove that doubt.
Nor is that the only dark stain upon
the public life of Gen. GARFIELD.
Besides the salary grab and DeGol-
yer pavement r~ascality, it seems he
was q prominent character in the in
famous Black Friday under GRANTS
administration. DOM P1Arrr, the
confidential friend of GARFIELD, thus
addresses him on that national
shame:
at was your committee that in
vestigated that national shame call
ed Black Friday, wherein FISK,
GOULD and GRANT sought, through
a use of the national Treasury, to
enrich themselves at the expense of
thousands of honest men.
at is not my purpose to recall the
details of that infamy. The chief
criminal was tracked to the TIRES
hold of the Executive Mansion, and
your committee passed q resolution
calling upon the Presidentto appear
before your committee and defend
himself from the damning proof that
made him the chief conspirator.
"The night of the day that resolu-
ton was passed you called upon the
President. 1t was after midnight
before you left the White House,
amazed and sick at heart, and at
your suggestion, that very day, the
resolution was revoked.
4 81 need not say that you and /
know Why that resolution was aban-
doned so suddenly. The fact that
under the circumstances it was re-
voked tells the whole story. The
very Democrats Of the committee
shrunk from the threatened expo
sure"
We hope DOM PlATr will come
out and tell the whole story of what
happened from which GARFIELD de-
parted from the White House amaz-

HOW TO HAVE A BAD SCHOOL.

1. Elect the most ignorant. bigoted.
close-fsted old fogies in the district to the
school board.
,. Employ the cheapest teacher you
can get regardless Of qualification. repu-
tation, or experience.
3. Find all the fault you can with the
teacher, and tell everybody: especially
let the pupils hear it.
4. When you hear bad report about
the teacher or the school, circulate it as
fast as you can.
). Never visit the school or encourage
the teacher.
6. If you should happen to visit the
school take close notice of what seems to
go wrong. and tell everybody about it,
except the teacher.
:. Never advise your children to be
obedient to the teacher, and when one is
punished, rush to the school room before
your passion is cooled, and give the teach
er a hearing in the matter in the presence
of the school.
=. Be indifferent about sending Your
children to school regularly.
.. Do not concern whether they have
the necessary books.
10. If any of the pupil make slow pro-
gress, blame the teacher for it.
II. Occupy your old tumble down
school-house as long as you can, and do
not go to any expense to repair it.
II. Do not go to any expense to get
apparatus. improved furniture, etc.
10. If the teacher OF pupil should COM
plain of an uncomfortable OF inconvenient
school-room, do not considerit worthy of
notice.
IA. Get the cheapest fuel you can.
In general, conduct your school on the
cheapest possible plan, and let your chief
concern be to find fault and devise ways
of retrenchment.
If, these rules are faithfully carried out
you are not likely to fail in having bad
school.

swayed frightfully in the terrible pace
they were going. lie watched the train
following behind, and with his hands
made motions to the engineer to run
slower and slower, till, with a crash, the
two parts of the train came together
This feat was not so successful as the
first, as the engineer could not see the
rear ears. The engine was reversed, and
the brakes put on, and they came to
stop-not wheel off the metals, and not
Il man hurt. Two of the cars badly
smashed, but that was all. What had
threatened to be fearful disaster, with
a loss of men, engine and cars, was only
a slight splintering of two cars that the
carpenters could repair in day. They
had general shaking of hands alone
there in the woods over the engineers
splendid feat; and for months it was
told to listening men in every flag sta
ton and freight house along the line how
the brave and cool engineer brought his

The Tramp.

Should not the dictionaries revise their
definition of the word hanp, now that
legislation in SO many Of our States has
made the person Il criminal? MasSaChu-
sets, following her New England sisters
offers the tramp the advantages of her
state work-house aud houses Of correc-
ton, but in such compulsory way as to
deprive the boon of the attraction which
it might otherwise have for him. For
the tramp is too sincere lover of liberty
to be grateful for any act which relieves
him of it, even while insuring him those
two prime necessaries OF his life, free
board and lodging. The selection of Il
work-house as his place of confinement
is peculiar indignity to the tramp whose
existence is based on the avoidance of
work. Whether his practice in this re-
spect is the result of :. thoughtful con-
sideration of labor of the primal or con-
seuuential curse, or Is based on an intui-
tive perception of the value of leisure, it
is not now necessary to inquire. 1t is
enough to emphasize the rigor of laws
which now only assume the criminalty
of the tramp, but aiiiX to it punishment
which is especially offensive to his sensi-
bilities.
