The ONLY REASON WHY.-As water
cannot rise above its own level, neither
can President, even though he be Gen
eral Hancock, rise above the level of the
party that put him in power. Of course
General Hancock would do his part in
carrying out the Democratic programme,
and that is the reason, and the only reae
son, why citizens who have the welfare
Of the country at heart must, more in sor-
row than in anger, refrain from giving

DEMOCRACY AND SCHOOLS.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL PLANK IN THEIR
PLATFORM AND THEIR OWN PRAC-
TICE AND RECORD.
From the Albany Evening Journal.


Some years ago small volume, con-
tanning the speculations of an infant mind
upon the phenomena by which it found
itself surrounded, was published and ac-
quired considerable popularity among the
little folks. The appearance once in four
years OF Democratic platform with its
attractiye generalizations and allegories
always reminds us of "Alice in Wonder
land, and its ingenious attempts to re-
concile pleasant delusions with awkward
facts, Those who recognize that the
stability of a government rests on the in
telligence and education of its citizens
will be interested to learn what the Gam
bassadors''..a ..and ENJOYS extraordinary from
the Sovereign States had to say on the
subject at Cincinnati. The parable is
found in the democratic platform and
reads: "The Democratic party declares
that the public schools shall be. fostered
and protected The Interpretation is
found in thesstatistics of the ninth census
and in the reports of the Commissioner
of Education. In the figures given below
Some twenty years ago Democrats used
to "foster'' the education of the blacks
with the CATO mine tails, and proverbial-
ly the influence of tradition is strong.
In justice to Democracy, ignorant blacks
should not be counted, for it never pro-
fessed an inclination to teach them, and
in this respect the practice tallies exactly
with its professions The States chosen
and are always have been unquestion-
ably Democratic or Republican respect
lively, and the statistics are fair evidence
of the results of party labors in educa-
tion

NEW GOLD EXCTTEMENTs. New
YORK, July 14.-There are new gold ex-

WHAT He THINKS OF TT.-GALENA,
July 16.-It is authoratively stated here
that Grant will return to Galena before
the first of August, settle up his affairs
and go to New York, where a position is
open for his acceptance. The General
has been rendered the presidency of the
American branch of the De Lesseps Canal
Company at salary of $4,000 year.
This he has refused on the grounds that
the enterprise would not prove a fnanci-
al success during the lives of those now
interested in the scheme, and he could
not lend his name to an undertaking in
which his friends were likely to en-
bark and receive no returns from if they
do not entirely lose their investment.

A SLIM SHOW FOR Mr.. WEAVER.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The Baltimore
American says in regard to Weaver's
claim that Maryland will go for the
Greenback candidate:
General Weaver, the Greenback no
minee for the Presidency, must be man
of very sanguine temperament. The
Greenback vote in Baltimore last Fall
reached 81 votes, and the counties, by
vigorous exertion on the part ofthe Green
backers helped to bring the up to about
200, yet General Weaver classes Mary
land as among the doubtful States that
may roll up majority for the Green
hackers. He has stated he expected
large gains in the State. Last year the
the Greenbackers averaged three votes
for each ward in the city, and five votes
to each county. Cincinnati Gazette.

Dangerous Counterfetss.

CHICAGO. June 26.-The Treasury author
tiles are in cave of gloom because the only
original cheap money people. the counter
feiters, are producing in large numbers green
backs and national bink notes which defy
detection indeed. The sole difference be-
tween the bogus and genuine is that the for
mer are more artistic and in many respects
better specimens of eDgraver's skill. The
800 counterfeits now in circulation are so
perfect that many experts have been deceived
by them, and they have been floated so adroit-
ly that the secret service officers have not
been able to obtain the slightest clue as TO
their authors. 1t is proposed to call in al
the 500 bills and to ask Congress next win
ter TO authorize new issue of bank and
Treasury notes.

A Strange Suicide.

CHcAGo, June 26.-D. P. Newell, well
known real estate dealer, is supposed to have
committed suicide under peculiar ci.cum-
stances. His mind has been diseased lately,
and he had become impressed with the notion
that he had invented life-preseryer composed
of lead. He took passage one day this week
on the steamer Sheboygan for Grand Haven.
across the lake, leaving word for his wife
that he Was going out to try his invention,
and that she would soon know the result 1t
appears that he quietly undressed hen half
way to the other shore, and binding the lead
which he carried with him about his body,
slipped unobserved into the water. His body
has not been seen since, and probably will
never be recovered.

Grant VIII Not support Hancock.

CHICAGO, June 26.-The Tunes Galena
special says: It's not true, as reported, that
Gen. Grant has declared his intention of sup
porting Hancock. The report doubtless grew
out of the many favorable comments he has
made on the action of the Cincinnati Con-
vention. He does not hesitate to say that in
his opinion the Democrats have in Gen. Han
cock nominated their best and strongest man
for President, and that neither his public nor
private character can be successfully assailed.
This is the substance Of the ex-Presidents
public statements on that subject.
GALENA, June 26.-Gen. Grant and family
leave for Colorado early next week. He FRO
nounces the statement that he had said he
would support Hancock as malicious and
false in every particular.

Referring to the narrow gauge now so rap
idly approaching Helena, and of the resourc-

mot many people appreciate this little rail-
road which is so fast opening virgin coun-
try to the north; not one person in thous-
and in the United States has any conception
of the slumbering wealth of that country. 1t
is safe to say that as farming, grazing, and
agricultural country it is the best new region
on the continent. The hills are covered with
timber, the valleys with grass, and the wealth
and extent of the mines will make boom in
the near future which will rival the rush
which, in single year, has lifted Colorado
into an importance which makes old Color
ado men rub their eyes in dazed way as
when from dark room one suddenly emerg-
es into binding sunlight"

ging is of an inferior description,
known as unrolled fax bagging, about
which We have previously written
you, and from this cause the claim
upon us is heavier than it would have
been had the cotton been packed in
the regular bagging. We understood
that none of the Objectionable bag
ging would be used this season, owing
to the restrictions of the cotton ex-
changes. We fear that nothing but a
refusal to pay claims for such cotton
will put astOp to the use of it" An
other correspondent, writing from
Liverpool, under date Of March 18th,
1880, says: "We wish to represent to
you that cotton in such bagging ought
not to be shipped. Out of 719 bales,
arrived to-day from Memphis, over
One-half will have to be recessed, the

DAsTARDLY ACTION.
A Lone Widow Brutally Beaten, and
Supposed to be Outraged.
The scOundreI in Jail.

Yesterday forenoon a most villain
Gus outrage was perpetrated on the
person of a poor and humble widow, a
white woman named Martha Haney,
on the public highway, some fifteen
miles north of this city, betweeniK Kerr
vile and Millington. The assaulting
villain is a burly young darky,
eighteen or twenty years old, named
Monford Mcdowell, and the scoun-
drel is now in Jail, fully identi-
fed by his victim as the
scamp who committed the deed.
Mrs. Haney resides on Union ave-
nue., near the hospital at the edge of
this city, and she is now there suffer
ing from the wounds inflicted upon
her. She had been working as a cook
with a family in Upton county; her
time wasout aud she started for home
on foot. She relates that while
on the road toward the city,
she was accosted by a negro man, who
made improper proposals to her
which she resisted. He then followed
her up about three miles and struck
her unexpectedly on the back of the
head with a piece of heavy plank,
knocking her s~enseless into the bushes
on the side of the road. She remained
insensible about two hours, and upon
recovery found her clething disar-
ranged, though she could not be pos
tive hal her person was outraged,
Sheriff Pulliam, of Kerryille, a few
miles distant, was notified, and, hav-
ing a description of the man,
soon arrested Munford Mcdowell
who was brought here and lodged in
Jail. This forenoon. Mrs. Haney was
taken to the Jail in a conveyance, and
there she at once recognized the scamp
as the person who treated her so OUT
rageously. The cries of the poor
woman after she regained her senses
brought a couple Of colored men, who
were blowing near by, to her re-
lief. They found the board
used by Mcdowell in the
assault. 1t was covered with blood,
and scattered around promiscuously
for a hundred yards or more, blood
was also observed, drawn blythe scamp
in his brutal attack. The poor vic.
tim bears an ugly wound on the back
Of the head, and bruises are also on
other parts of her person, all of which
verify the rough treatment she re-
ceived. Mrs. Haneyis under surgical
treatment, while Mcdowell is to have
a preliminary examination before
Esquire Quigley on Saturday next.

Inferior Bagging.

The Importance of planters baling
their cotton in good material and then
taking care of the bales until they are
forwarded to marketsbas been urged
by newspapers, by cotton factors, cot
ton buyers, and by every one familiar
with the carelessness often observed
in the handling of the valuable staple.
Complaints are beginning to come in
regarding the persistence manifested
by many in their determination to
put up their crops in bad baling. The
following letter from a Liverpool cot
ton dealer TO a merchant here was
posted on the blackbOlrds of the cot
ton exchange to-day, and it explains
itself, as we'll as the situation: 1.-THE
Morning Star. We regret to have to
call attention to the packing Of a large
quantity Of cotton on this vessel. Out
ofS34 bales covered by you, 442 have
been landed damaged, the loss upon
which will be considerably increased
by the mending expenses, which will
be very heavy, as the greater portion
Of the bales have to be entirely GOV.
