It gives US pleasure to report the con-
tinued improvement of our neighbor,
Mrs. c. Kline, who is now considered
about out of danger. Mrs. Kline has
had very severe attack Of the prevalent
typhoid fever and her promised recovery
was something her friee'ds scarcely dared
to expect when her disease was at its
height. We hope the prolonged and
tedious period of convalescence which is
consequent upon this virulent fever will
be safely passed and that our nsighbol
will in due course again enjoy the bless.
ing Of health and strength.

Repndiation alias Readiustm ent

The New York Tribune and Tines, in the
face OF all their proteslations Of regard for
national and State obligations, are giving
their influence to men whose cardinal prin.
cilleis the settlement OF the debt OF Virginia
upon basis determined by the debtor party
10 the contract. This action OF Republicans
shows that there is a growing sentiment
that any course OF political conduct is de-
fensible IL il tends to the defeat or overthrow
of The opposite party. The tendency is
strong TO conduct politics on 3 low level
and TO separate the politician from the man.
IT Is by some thought prudish OF Puritani-
cal 10 poster or embsrrass oneself in party
matters with conscientious scruples. DIS
RAELI, IN one OF his novels, speaks OF a po-
~iltlcian, or a statesman rather, as "the
creature Of his age, the child OF circum
Stances, the creation OF his times" This
idea Of craftsmanship subOrdinates con-
science, the rule Of morality and right, TO
expediency and success, and allows one to
adopt whatever plans are feasible in order
20 accomplish what is desirable. No more
faisl mistake can be committed. IL is better
20 be defeated on on ineligible aud honest
ayowal Of principles than TO succeed by
evasion, chicauery, fraud, Defeat then
brings no dishonor, and a party can rally;
for The members are held together by con-
curing opinions on what is fundamental.
To ignore the right and the true
and the honest, and thus attain sue
cess, is 10 entail disastrous consequences.
Numerous examples can be eited where
governments, Influenced by ambition or
other passion, have attained ends at the
sacrifice of the right and the true, aud suf-
fered therefor a terrible retributioD. His
tory Is full OF instances OF frail men, who,
seduced from their integrity, have sunk
lower and lower and abandoned all that was
patriotic and yirtuous. The memories OF
some men win be cherished as stimulants to
what Is noble as long as honor and virtue
are admired. The memories OF others ex-
cite no generous emotion. awaken 10 aspI-
ration for good, because they sought sue
cess by ignoble or perfdlous means. What
q mao or party or government may do Is
not the question, but what ought 10 be done
under suggestions Of reason and justice and
honor and right. To deceive, to adopt a
subteffuge, to do injustice, 10 corrupt, ID
one node Of action. II is another aud bet
ter to observe Ia ali dealings the highest
standard Of right.
Parties aud public men seemingly forget
at times that right Is right everywhere.
There are eternal yerities not affected bg

ginla would be dishonesty ID the stare. To
consent to wrong under any pressure, to
cennise at II, apologize for II, defend It,

gets another, and they bring f~etrlbgtise

plifs the system. -,
/ was an earnest advocate OF the Henkel
school bill, which has done more Tor the
schools than ans other single measure. The
Coalition party, which was IN full power
dnring the last session OF The General AS

cellent Democratic measure by leaving "

OF. tbe public schools. Two reasons alone
suffice TO confirm this opinion-6rsi they
constitute the cheapest system OF pubic
education which the wit Of man can devise;
secondly, they furnish tue most certain
means OF education, opening The Goors 10
an races and all classes alike, and lnYlllng
them to come and drink Of The water oil
knowledge freely.
II is falsely pretended by fhe Coalition
party that they ro0pened two thousand
schools. which had been closed. The Dem-
ocratic measure known as the Henkel
school bill, and the reduction OF the amount
OF coupons received annually, furnished
the funds TO reopen them. The Democratic
School Board applied them. The Coall-
~tionlsts did nothing hut let the funds go
where the Democrats designed they should
90.
1t is equally false that The Democracy
ever diverted a dollar Of the school money.
The COUPONS which intercepted 1t Tor a

Democrats I'm the General Assembly voted
against that set. Apd /. at that time,

which passed il.
The Democrats subsequently repealed 1t,
and when the repeal proved ineffective,

raj courts. they devised and put IN force TIE
measures which have secured the schooi

party which pledges itself 10 support ana

Whosoever shall insinua'e or declare that
am opposed to the public schools, will do.

his manner, his courteous style OF speaking,
his ~eloquence, and his pondcrous argu-

Of bis hearers like a magnet, and round after
round OF applause greeted his utierance.
OF his reply TO Colonel Fauntleroy it says /:
No man, we caresnot where be halls from,
could have used the time to better adj
vantage. Every second was big with
crushing force and power, and as words OF
impassioned %earnestness and eloquence roll
ed from his lips they took the house by
storm, and we have never witnessed wilder
bursts OF enthusiasm than those manifested
throughout the delivery Of that little gem
OF genuine Oratory ; 20 much so, that we
were not surprised when Mr. Fauntleroy
arose TO close the discussion, that his words
fell " fat and Improbable on the ears OF
those present; the crowd had been worked
up to the highest pitch OF enthusiasm, and
it was beyond human power TO break the
