Lies Against English Exploded.
New York Herald.
The latest campaign story Of the season
is that thirty -four years ago w. II. Eng
lish, the Democratic candidate for the vice
presidency, became pension administrator
of his grandmother, who was the widow Of
a revolutionary pensioner, and under the
plea of insolvency has defrauded the heirs
Of their money ever since. This is the SUBJ
stance Of the story as it appeared this
morning in three column communication
in the Cincinnati Gazette. Such a story,
appearing just before the election. is not
likely to be believed, especially as it is
known that Mr.. English has always been
able to pay, and could have been made to
pay, any legal claims against him, and it
is not at all probable such claim, if Just,
would have remained thirty four year Q
without being enforced. In this case,
however, Mr.. English has the most posi-
tive evidence of the injustice and falsity of
the charge made against him, being no
less than the receipt in full Of every one Of
the heirs in question, attested before re-
spOnsible witnesses, and his settlement
with and discharge by the court granting
the letters of administration. 1t would be
hard to find charge with seemingly less
foundation. The real controversy about
this case was whether the living children
were entitled to this money to the exclu-
sion of the children of deceased children.
Such was the law of Congress, as shown
ON the face Of the pension certificate itself,
which required the money to be paid "to
William H. English, administrator for the
exclusive use Of Mahala English, Sarah
Reed. Lucy Rawlings, Fanny Frick,
Charles and Philip Easton, the only
surviving children Also, by decree
of the pension department., as shown
by official letters that the living
children, who alone were entitled to the
money, were all settled with, and Mr.. Eng
lish, as administrator, fully and honorably
discharged, is conclusively shown by re-
ceipts in full from all of them which have
been published.
Tho indianapolis Neus, Republican
paper, publishes complete refutation of
the slander.

fact that for the past three or four
years. during which the country has

Time yet, IL might Oe advisable to change
as many as possible, during the second
week in November, when we assume the
schools will be closed to enable the teachers
to attend the county institute. Another
reason why this should be done as soon as
possible is that the benches in some of the
class rooms are arranged in manner very
injurious to the eyes Of the pupils, who
are in some cases required to sit facing the
windows, and in others with their backs
to the blackboard. Some Of the class
rooms also have insufficient seating capac-
ity. Relief in these respects should
be granted at once, and the most
complete, as we'll as the most economical
in the end, will be the change suggested
above.
Pursuant to the call of the superintcnd-
end, the teachers of the primary and Sec
ondary schools met in the male high school
room August 80 and 81 for the purpose of |
mutual consultation. The course of
study submitted to the board was ex-
planned and discussed, ard programmes
were submitted for discussion, amend
ment and approval. The utmost har-
mony aud good feeling characterized the
in which the teachers gen.
orally participated. The new pro-
gramme provides for recitations, simultan-
eously in the study hall and in the class
rooms. The reeitations in the former are
generally conducted by the principal, thus
ofher to teach her class and govern
the pupils belonging to the other classes
not engaged in reciting. 1t will readily be
seen that this demands rare ability, and
hence the principal was chosen as the most
suitable person and the one most likely to
possess that measure of skill necessary to
render the plan successful. It affords me
great pleasure to state that the additional
abor was assumed by them with alacrity
md believe they are doing their utmost
o crown the experiment with success.

IL Alabama manipulation of the
counting process has been very sue
cessfully substituted for the Missis-
sippi plan of carrying elections by the
Democratic managers. At recent
election held in that State, in one place
where the Republicans polled by actu-
al count while balloting was going on,
a majority of over three thousand, the
Democratic counters returned q Dem
ocratic majority of about fifteen hun
bred. In another precinct the Repub-
hcans polled four hundred votes and
the Democrats two hundred and thir-
teen, by actual count, yet Democratic
officers returned a majority for their
party of over three hundred. In other
localities where the colored element
was very strong they were permitted
to vote without molestation, and their
votes were then quietly counted out.
In this way the Democratic majority
of 10000 was made to appear. Yet,
the United States Constitution guaran-
tees to every State Republican form
of government. "This guarantee
reminds us of the boosted freedom of
this country while four millions of hui
man beings were held in bondage I'M

a DANGEROUS SENTIMENT.

Much has been said concerning the
alleged proposition of General Han
| cock to bring the army to the aid of
| Tilden IN 1877. The report of such a
purpose on the part of the present
Democratic candidate for President,
| grew out of letter written by him to
| General Sherman. in December, 1875,
| upon the situation of political affairs
at that time. Though embodying
none Of the open threats reported, con-
| Sidering the circumstances under
which it. was written, the letter con-
tans sentiments of an extraordinary
character expressed by a distinguish
ed military officer to his superior in
command. III the course of this letter
| General Hancock says:
"OnicerS in command of troops often
| find it difficult to act wisely and safe
| ly when superiors in authority have
different views Of the law from theirs.
and when legislation has sanctioned
action seemingly in conflict with the
fundamental law, and they generally
defer to the known Judgement Of their
supcriors. YET the superior officers Of

Of ii, that ii Is necessary on Sltch mo-
BteRt0uS occasions 10 dare to determine
for themselves Whdt Is tutgfuL and
oitat is not idWfNt under or system"
Considering the incidents that
prompted the letter from which we
have quoted, the most rational inter-
probation of the language employed
therein is, that to the mind of Gener-
al Hancock, under contingencies which
for a time seemed likely to arise, he
would have considered it his privilege
as well us his duty, being near the
head of the army, to have dared, him
self, to determine what was lawful
and what was not lawful, override his
superior officer and assume the con-
troll of the government us Il dictator
or else usurp such control for another.
Let it be observed that all the peril to
free institutions that it IS possible to
conceive from the action of the army
is embraced in the paragraph above
quoted, emanatlng from General Han
cock, whom the Democratic party is
running us one who favOrs the subor-
dination of military to civil authority.
The claim that Hancock favors such
subordination is fraudulent one, and
should he become COMMUNICATIVE
of the army by virtue of his election
to the Presidency, imbued as he is
with the sentiment that it would be
within his province to decide "what
is and what is not lawful, setting at
defiance the functions OF Congress and
the judiciary, with the army to sus-
tain his DEGREES, it does not require
very lively stretch of the imagination
to picture what would follow.

THE Republicans of the Sixth Con-
gressional District should make a Wig
orous attempt to redeem it this fall.
Hon. d. N. Kelly, of Green Bay, who
has long been regarded by many as
the 'comng man" on the Republican
side, has announced that his private
business interests will render it mex
pedient for him to accept a Congress
sional nomination. This is leading
point i'll favor of the party, and we
trust that it viii now rise to its oppOr-
tunity and nominate Hon. Richard
Guenther, our present State Treasurer,
to succeed Bouck. Mr.. Guenther is a
progressive German, who has expert
enced practical application of the
fundamental principles which under
lie the superstructure of this great
American Republic, and is one who
appreciates their worth; he is one Of a
very few whose candidacy would re-
deem the District, if indeed he is not
the only one, and his election would
secure a creditable acquisition to the
Republican portion of the Wisconsin
delegation in Congress. The nominal
ton of MI, Guenther would he a har-
binger of victory.

IT will be remembered that the leg
islature of 1880 ordered an ingestiga-
ton into the management of the Wis

and McGrew were appointed commit
tee to make such investigation. Near
" four months have already been oc-
cupied by the committee in the work
assigned #, and tho facts elected do
not indicH q very satisfactory condi-
ton of affairs. The Superintendent,
who is presumed to be employed be-
cause of his special training for the
medical treatment of the insane, Wis
its the wards oltce neck, the most of
his time being employed outside the
Hospital. The evidence shows neg
lect of patients as well as their III
treatment, and that they are some
times supplied with bad food and I'M
fit water, notwithstanding the large
sums annually appropriated for tleir
support and care. The financial man

duct of the institution generally, II
we may ! . permitted to judge by the
fact that over two thousand dollars Of
the moneys deposited by friends OF
inmates for tile purchase Of extra lux

DEMOCRATIC s.PRINCIPLES.'1

When Wade Hampton, of South Car.
Dina, pledged to General Hancock the
one-hundred and thirty-eight electoral
votes Of the solid South, he doubt
less did SO with the conviction that
certain underlying principles were in.
volyed i'll the pending contest. He is
one of the foremost rebel statesmen
II Congress and unquestionably d
faithful representative of Democratic
principles as understood i'll the South
to-day-a section of country in which
IS vested the controlling power of the
Democratic party. From so distin.
guished member of that party an eX.
position of those principles is mat
ter of profound interest. In Virginia
the Democratic party is racked by in
ternal dissensions which threaten its
defeat and Hampton rendered his SER
vices as mediator in the hope of eff
fecting a reconciliation, during which
he made a pathetic appeal to one of
the factions, in which he very sue
cinctIy defined the principles which
now actuate the Democratic party, in
the following words:
Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are
the sane principles for which they
fought for four years. Remember the
men who poured forth their life-blood
on Virginia's soil, and do not abandon
them now. Remember that upon your
vote depends the success of the Demo
cratic ticket.
Naming Robert Z. Lee and Stonewall
Jackson, fighting Generals in the rebel
army, this speaker who stands high in
Democratic councils. says of Demo
cratic principles-''IheSe are the same
principles for whtch they fought for
tour gears. These few words. ex-
pressed by a representative Democrat
ic speaker, tell the simple truth that
hundreds of Republican speeches have
been made for the purpose of impress
ing upon the loyal people of the North.
The principles for which Lee and
Jackson fought was the right of Sc.
cession. The purpose of secession
was the perpetuation of sidvery-the
preservation of the legal right of one
class of human beings to hold another
class of humanity in bondage, right
against which every sense of outraged
justice reyolted. To crush out this
doctrine Of secession, for which Lee
and jackson fought, the loyal people
of the country raised and equipped ar
mics, expended millions upon millions
of treasure and sacrificed the lives oil
| two hundred thousand liberty-lovine
men. After all the suffering produced
by four years civil war of unexam
pied magnitude. in which the eterna
principles of truth and justice tri
umphed, are those who eontended fol-
those principles to vote that they
were wrong in defending them!
