Judicial Bull-Dozing.

After the election last fall the air |
was full of the frauds practiced by
Mahones officers. 1t was necessary
Immediately to divert attention John
S. Wise was the United States Dis
trict Attorney, and had also just been
a candidate for Congress. While it
has been universally thought to be
violation of all sense of right for
prosecuting attorney to prosecute an
ofense against himself, yet the ethics
of Mahoneism stands upon no such
fine points as this. Mr.. Wise at once
turned loose his bloodhounds and set
the United States Grand Jury upon
sharp search for Democratic frauds
Summary and high-handed measures
were resorted to, but they amounted
to nothing, as no Democratic frauds
could be discovered. They served the
purpose, however, of blind they
enabled lying correspondents to fill
the Northern Republican papers with
false statements, and to fire the North
ern heart again against Southern Dem
ocrats. The smoke of this false fire
has lifted now, and the fraudulent
deeds of the Malone election officers
is being daily expressed by the evil
denoe taken in the contested case.
Another infamous case of Judicial
bull-dozing has occurred in the last
few days. In Botetourt county a
grand jury was summoned to investi-
gate the charges of fraud. 1t consist
ed of nine members. 7aoo of them
WERE Democrats, and seven (of whom
two were colored) were noisy Malone
politicians. The jury heard the testi-
mony of some of the most respectable
men in the county, whose regulations
for truthfulness had never been doubt
ed. Nevertheless the seven brought
in report that the charges of fraud
against the Malone officials were all
"slanderous lies" but they found an
indictment against Democrat for at
tempting to influence a man to vote
for Massey. The taOo Democrats re-
ported that the evidence of fraud
against the Malone officials was abun-
dant, and they protested against
a grand jury of the county being used
for the furtherance of partisan and
political aims. Thereupon the Ma
hone Judge fined the two Democratic
jurors $1,000 apiece, and also imposed
a similar fine upon a lawyer who at
the request of the grand jury had put
the report in form.
How long will the people stand
these things? How long will free
men be ruled by this Boss" and his
wicked emissaries? Let them answer
at the next Legislative election, and
let this Malone Monarchy of Fraud
be torn from the earth, root and
branch.

 A regular meeting of the Board of Educa- tion was held last evening. Present, Messrs. Welch, (presiding,) zunder, Peck, Harrison, Parmelee, Plunkett, Pond, Strong and O'Brien.
 discussion ensued over the matter of overworked pupils. From the general ex- precision of members it was apparent that they did not think the scholars were over- worked. No action was taken. (See report elsewhere.)
 MT. Welch announced that $2,0o0 had been paid on the new school building and that $2O, ,OOO would be necessary to pay the incoming bills for the past month which were in hand.
 MT. Peck, from the Committee on Schools, reported that the committee were trying to reduce the plans of the Congress avenue school so as to bring it within the sppropri- ation
 MT. Plunkett said that the State school I fund would be reduced $1OO,0O0 this year, which would lessen the appropriation to the ] New Haven school district. Anna A. Gildersleeve was appointed teach CT in the Dwight street school at 8 salary of | $35O year.
