Tuesday Evening maroh 10, 1850

Iowa is not the only state 10 which
the republicans are over fond of the
sacred school fund. In Missouri, dur
ing the six years the republicans were
in power, there was appropriated only
1881 ,954 to the common schools
From 1874 to 1879 the democrats
appropriated s2,926, 665 for that laud-
able purpose. The republicans during
their brief power, stole several hun
dred thousand dollars from the
sacred school fund" And the Pitts
burg Post says: In Pennsylvania they
have diverted two or three millions
which should have gone to the school
fund, under the constitution, in ex-
%travagant legislation. AS a result,
warrants are to be issued for the state
appropriation. The sacred school
fund" is not too sacred to be made
way with by a republican legislature.

There was an incident Of the Dow
trial, at Bolton, that most unaceount.
ably escaped the attention Of the local
press, and yet it is entirely too good to
be lost to the public. When one OF
the female witnesses was asked by a
prosecuting lawyer, of a well-known
connivial turn Of mind, if she believed
in the bible, she replied emphatically
that she did. DO you believe, then,
that wives should DO obedient to their

snapped her eyer and responded

The Democracy Of Carroll did nobly on

tho result here. Our majority is ret as
large as it was four years ago, but Tilden's
majority Of 403 then was an unusual vote
Since 1876, too, our party 10 some Ioeali-
ties has uot been harmonious a eonsid-
cradle number have been misled by mis-
representation and fair promises to vote
against ~, whils some, perhaps, have been
induced to change their Fotes BY glitterine
coin. On Tuesday last, however, those
who for time ignored their allegiance,
returned, aud we welcome thsm back
Those who, for pecuniary considerations,
have LEFT our ranks, did not retnra We
did not want them then, and We win not
need them hereafter. Ours is party Of
principle, aud purchasa6le voters are out
Of place in che Democratic ranks. The
Democrats Of Woolcry's district are espec-
tally to be congratulated. The faetions
there buried the l.atchet, worked harmo.
niously, and rolled up majority Of LOG.
The sseadfast devotion Of Hampstead,
Myers aud Manchester challenges our
unqualified admiration. True as the
naedIe 10 the pole, these gallant Demo
cratic districts never disappoint the rea.
sonable expectation Of their party.

The Philadelphia Ledger, independent,

Of Tuesday last, while acknowledging tho
gross bribery praetieed at the Presidential
election just closed, eadeayors to console
itself with the reflection that Americans
are not yet quite as bad as the English
people, aud instances report in Parlia-
meut upon the subject to prove its posi-
ton, It says
Il is quite possible that after the election
to-day Americans may not be in condition
to moralze on the bribery and corruption en-.
ployed in English elections, and il Is, there.
fore, well to note atonee that the Maeeles6eid
Commission investigating cases OF bribery in
the last Parliamentary election found that, of
the 5d34 persons who voted in that borough,
orer four thousand trere bri6ed. The price
OF 4 vote during the morning was six shillings,
say one dollar and half, but il advanced to
sovereign as the day went on. Now, bad
as we may be in this country, il may be said
with certainty there is no election district in
any Of our cities where such large propor.
liou Of voters, or anything within cannon Shot
OF Il, can be bought for money at so much a
head. There is great deal Of trading, sales
OF votes for Offices or promises of appoint
ments, &C., and there is repeating and ballot
box sluiing and false counting, but the great
mass Of American voters, even OF those who
wink at the dirty work. Of politicians, prize
the right to vote too highly TO sell their ballots

In the recent campaign the Democrats
asserted that the Radical party was see
tional 10 It's origen and sectional in admin
isteriug the affairs Of the government; that
that party was corrupt, extravagant and
wasted the peoples money, aud the burden
Of government was excessive; that the
Radical party had mismanaged the finances
Of the country and that Sherman's re-
sumption existed more in name than Ia
reality; that the civil service was corrupt,
&C., &c.
The Radical press will sometimes, in an
nngarded moment, admit the truth against
its own party. The New York Times, the
most influential Of stalwart Radical, Demo
craiic.lating organs, admits these charges
on the day after the election. Aler re.
viewing the result Of Tuesdays election,
it points out to the incoming administra-
ton the line Of its duty, as follows;
It will remain for the Republican party TO
administer the government for the whole
nation.
1t will be its duty to complete the readjast.
ment of the national debt, that is burden may
rest as lightly as possible on the people, to
reduce taxation at sg8ry available point, TO
remove the iniquities which now exist ia oper
alton Of much Of our fiscal legislation, to make
the currency wholly and permanently sound.
II will be lis duty TO correct the evils shich
have orept into the civil service, to perfect the
divorce which has been undertaken between
that service and partisan politics, to remove
all Just complaint in any section that the ma.
tional government is partisan, TO attract to
the government the upright men Of all parties
By IL purity, Integrity and efficiency.
The first paragraph admits that the Re.
publican party has not heretofore admin
Uttered the government for the ,ehole
country.
The second admits that the finances are
not 10 good condition and she taxes arc
burdensome.
The third admits that corruption exists
in the civil service, and that the national
government Is partisan. The Times says
it wants 70 remove all aJast eompIaiist"
that the government lis partisan
