GREEK statistics have been publ shed
lately embodying census RETURN, to
which we recently referred, aud also
various figures relating to education.
From these tables it appears that of the
int tabitant3 Of Greece, 1,331, ,472 can
neither rta1 nor write, and 2I3, ,9I9 can
262, ,Sj6 of whom are men and 56, ,O93 ars
women. The soldiers on active service
and sa lsrs absent abroad are not In
cluded, for the total population in 1879
was BIS, ,479. II we deduct from the
number OF the uneducated the children
under five years Of age, who amount to
249, ,831, the proportion of the educated
male population is 1906 per cent OF the
female, 23.08 per cent. According to the
census OF 1870 the proportions were
1926 per cent and 1856 conseq uently
education has made great proRress.
There exist in Greece /, ,033 public
schools for boys, attended by 81, $50 pu-
pills, and 1873 for girls, attended by II, $40
pupils. Besides there are lG5 private

TMn NEW CoUHTx ALMs Housn.
Tie Trustees Of the Poor Of this
county have adopted plans for the
nsw Alnshouss buildings ON the
Rlandy farm. on the road to Hare's
Corner, about two and q half miles
from this city. The plans are not
entirely perfected yet, and are to un-
dergo some slight changes at the
haDds Of Mr.. Button, the architect.
There will be two blocks of buildings,
one Of which will be for the insane.
The plans are simple, 80 far as
We can judge from the brief Outline
that has been laid before the Board OF
Trustees. The main building has a
front Of 2S6 feet, with wing at each
end 200 feet long, and . centre build
ing 24e feet long, three stories, with
mansard roof. The middle building
viii be used for the purpose Of dwell
ing kitchen, &C., or for other
purposes. 1t win be seen that light
and ventilation is amply provided for
Tho building for the insane will be
somewhat similar, bur not so large.
The plans have to undergo severa
changes yet, and will be given more
fully when completed.

TIE RENTING SEAsoN is crowding
upon our people, aud there is an un
usual demand for houses. Yet We
notice large number OF houses with
bills ''for rent" upon them. THIS does
not indicate that the people are over
anxious to secure houses TO move into
on the coming 25th Of March, or that
rents could be much above the prices
Of last year. We are told by some
agents that they could rent a number
Of houses at $40, s12 and SIS a month
il they had them in another year we
hope this demand viii be supplied.

W. Evans, Esq, Newark loses one of
its best and most useful citizens.
Although advanced in years he never
ceased, while in the enjoyment of his
usual good health, to take an interest
in the affairs Of his neighborhood, and
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
the people to an unlimited extent.
He enjoyed q very large circle OF
friends and viii long be remembered
for his many excellent qualities and

Does Protection prn,.e,

A strike of laboring men occurred at
the Joliet, Illinois, steel works, Thurs.
day, in consequences of a notice by
Superintendent Smith that the wages OF
common laborers would be reduced to
twelve and one-half cents per hour,
Now the query arises, was this reduction
determined upon, because steel is not
protected enough, or because the pro-
prietors of the works are opposed to
sharing the benefits OF the high tariff
with their workmen? Here is a topic
worthy the attention of the free trade
editor of the Des Moines Leader.-Du-
bIque Telegraph.
This is but one of thousand cIrcum
stances which ought TO prove to the la
boring classes that they are not in any
way benefited by the tariff. The pro.
teeted manufacturers have more trouble
with their employees about wages than
any other manufacturers or anybody
else.

Our Washington dispatches show
that the number OF miles Of railroad
built last year under pressnse Of earn
ing grants Of public land was exactly
300. During the same year there were
acertifsds to the corporations which
built these 200 miles ofTOad, as having
been earned BY the construction, IL
049,440 acres Of land, or 6,247 acres to
every mile Of road actually built. 1t
will thus be seen that such corpora
tons IS the Northern Pacific are
conducted not for the purpose OF
building and managing railroads but
simply for the purpose Of acquiring
and selling public lands.

The Revolutionary Party.

From the American Register.
The present Republican party is a
revolutionary party. Trampling down
thu Constitution and the most sac-ed
compacts of the Union of the States,
1t brought upon The country the great
civil war, in which over million of
human beings lost their lives, over ten
Thousand millions of dollars worth OF
property was sacrificed, aud desolation,
mourning and suffering icdescribable
were brought upon the land. And in
order to enable this party to rule The
country after the war was over IL
changed in many respects the Constitu-
tion, before the Southern States were
allowed representation in Congress,
and also established over those States
an absolute military despotism. And
becaase the people Of the South would
not PROSTATE themselves before this
party, but maintained a solid South
against it, the leaders are now laboring
to create party in the South on a me-
farlous scheme Of reputation OF State
Indebtedness.
The Constitution Of the United States
provides, that "No State shall pass any
law inpairing the obligation of con-
tracts" Cart. /, Sec. 10. Yet, IN a
shameless disregard Of this provi ion of
the Constitution the Republican party
is engaged In the business of building
up party iu the South on a scheme
for the reputation of State debts. If
this succeeds, how long will 1t be before
party will spring up in favor of the
repudiation of the debt of the Federal
Government ? When the lion got the
taste OF blood, 1t is said, he became
wholly uncomfortable. Break down
the principle of integrity founded in the
Constitution, aud where will such deg
radiation end?

TEE Republican wants to know why
the Democratic Legislature exempted
tho property Of the negroes in this
city from city and school tax9 We
are mot sure that we are correct; but
we presume it was to enable them to
pay into their own school fund, or be-
cause the legislature did not desire TO
tax them to support white schools
from which their children had always
been excluded. According to the
policy which our Republican prints
have foreshadowed, should the next
Legislature not contain a Democratic
majority, the negroes win be made to
pay q school tax and be admitted to
ali the district school houses on the
same footing with the whites. If this
is not done then school houses will be
built in each district Of the expense of
the State-the means drawn from the
school fund or State bonds issued for
the purpose, the tax for which will
have to como out of the pockets of the
white citizens. The colored people
have the same privilege now to join
together and raise fund for school
purposes as the whites do +; and it is
their own fault if they do not do this.
They cannot expect to be taken into
the white schools, and to force the
cOlored race into them will simply de-
stroy the whole system ia districts

Maryland maintains little navy to
enforce her laws relating to the oyster
fsheries,aud Chesapeake Bay is mapped
with imaginary boundary lines, the
wrongful crossing Of which 1t is the duty
OF the oyster police to prevent. That
these oAAeials are active is indicted by
the fact that several dredgers are killed
or wounded every season, and the coun-
ty jails along the shore are frequently
crowded with captured offenders.

since the receipt Of your letter Of 18th utimo sug
9esting asphalt cross wslks the Fifth ave- road
way al Eighty st. have given the matter further
con but not been able to change my con
clusion that cross.wslks or any Kind OF material
would injuro the maoadam roenWys TOO
seriously for driving To De anmlesipe'
because they would BIO OF no service 10 peues
rsn travel unless raised above the surface OF the road
way and would thus form dangerous projection aud
obstruction TO carriage ~A"''' SMITH h. LANE,
