The Eastern penitentiary. Philadel-

in the person of one George Woodward.
Woodward, when a boy, was engaged
in cattle raising with his parents. in
Ohio, and early developed an uncon-
guerable propensity for horse-stealing.
T.is brought him many years ago 20
V there he is now, but at the expiration
oi his sentence his friends set him 10
in business. which he afterwards relir-
pushed in favor of his favorite pursuit.
and again he returned to jail-for thir-
teen years. Although he has no hands.
only stumps, he is so clever a workman
that he surpassed all the other convicts,
and when he had saved 5000 he sent for
n lawyer, who contrived to get him
pardoned, and again he was started in
business. But he has been at it again
in his old line, though apparently I'M
der legal advice. He stole n whole
drove from a Delaware county farmer,
and the low price at which he offered
the animals in Philadelphia led TO his
detection.

The concentration Of substantially n ma-
iority of the Republican members "l the Legs
lature upon a candidate for each vacant N'ai
in the Senate imposes serious responsibility
upon the men who profess tO desire that these
two seats, and with them the control of
the Senate. shall be saved TO The Ecpuhhcau
marty. but who nevertheless do not cooperate
with those who are trying to save them. II Is
said, and believed 10y many, that the men
who are blindly voting for Mr.. Conkug have
ceased TO think of their constituents. They know
that they have Justly forfeited 10y their conduct
all claim to consideration in the future, ana
they prefer to take their chances with few
bosses rather than with the people. But the
men who refused, in obedience 10 the will OF
their constituents, to 90 into a caucus, and VIII"
have steadily voted against Conkllng and Plait
without, ut the same time voting for any effective
opponent of these men, stand in a dllcrcntposi
ton. They are prOfesscd opponents OF C0nkllng
and Platt In this they show Difference topuh-
lie sentiment. Do they suppose that this keen
eyed people can he deceived with mere show
Of obediencc7 DO they suppose that the pco-
Die will not swiftly conclude that the men who
refuse to cooperate with the opponents OF
Conklng are in reality Coukling's men, whether
they be voting for Conking OF for the Hon.
Bardwell Siote?
The present situation presents sharp Issue
Of sincerity If there are members who are
not willing to vote for Chaunccy VI. Dtpcw,
they need not find it difficult to vote for Will
lam A. Wheeler and those who have 40 cs-
pccial feeling for Nj Wheeler may easily be-
satisfied with Mr.. Dcpcw. The two men have
become, largely by the force Oi circumstances,
the representatives of the Republican Admin
istration and the Republican party, as against
the men who are trying to destroy both hythrow-
ing Ncw-York into the hands Of the Democrats.
Assuch one or the other of them or both. deserve,
and should receive the support OF every MEM

for themselves what banks TO select "a. drpo-i-

OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHERS.

OIR CHIIDREN AM IHE1h IL1' lifhN.
Our readers haze already drawn their own
deductions from the cases reported last week Of
the effect upon children of the examining ,ys
tenn in our schools One girl who succeeded i'm
winning the highest honors fell into fit in the
exhibition room, and was carried home stricken
with brain fever; another, who had worked be
vond her strength for a year in order to pass
into the Normal School, finding that she had
failed, went to the river and threw herself in !,
a third, a boy of fourteen, was stricken down
at his desk with spinal meningitis from the
long over-taxing of his brain and even then
was kept there that he might finish his task.
The most alarming point in such cases Is that
they grow more frequent every year. Last
summer Mt the close of the examinations two
young girls were removed to the insane asylum
from the schools, and one lad of eighteen who
had not passed blew his brains out in despair.
Everybody knows these facts, and everybody
knows that these reported cases of suicide, in
sanity and fever represent an unknown aggre-
gate of children left each year, by this sustained
tremendous strain upon their physical and
mental strength, with enfeeblod bodies and
with their minds permanently impaired for the
work of life, just in proportion rs their brains
have been overtaxed In tho public schools the
forcing treatment is the most cruel but even
in private schools which profess not to cram"

The pcculiaitics in his character and DISPOSE
