ASSUMING THAT all the utterly baseless
scandals about Governor Cleveland's private
life be true, though his neighbors, who have
known him from his boyhood, pronounce
them to be without the slightest foundation,
what difference marks the treatment they
receive from the Blaine newspapers and
that which the newspapers opposed to Mr..
Blaine give to his depraved private his
tory and which the same papers
gave to President Arthur's scandalous es-
capade since he has been in the White
House? But under the persistence of the
ISLANDERS against Governor Cleveland his
friends will naturally cease to look much
longer upon forbearance as virtue, and
will retaliate in kind, and, what's worse, all
they'll say will be true

The Washington Republican speaks OF
the negro who abducted an insane white
woman and was married to her by negro
preacher in that city, as "persecuted", be-
cause the poor woman's family are trying to
find her and take her back to her home in
lower Maryland. A long rope and short
shrift, 10 such case as this, instead of perse-
eution, would be inadequate to supply the
demands ofjustice.

The Supposed Case of Cholera.

ST.. LOUIS, July 2G.-The captain of the
steamer Annie P. Silver, the boat Oh which
the supposed death from cholera occurred,
says the child whose demise is creating such
excitement was but six months old, and all
hands on the steamer supposed it had been
suffering from ordinary summer complaint.
The father of the child was Spaniard, and
had arrived in this country from Oporto.
He could not speak French, and probably
never was at Toulon.

1T IS not probable that the cholera will
visit this country this summer, but even if
it should, as there is neither a specific pre-
ventive nor cure for it, there is no cause for
excitement, as it is silly to attempt to resist
the inevitable. People should live, there.
fore, just as they have lived heretofore as
any change in the mode of living, by alter
ing the habit of the body will render it more
susceptible to all sorts of diseases.

DEcIsIoN.-The Court of Appeals in the
case of the State Normal School at Farm.
vile has decided adversely to the petition
OF DIR. Curry and others, trustees, for a per-
emptory mandamus to compel payment of
the 1000 annuity supposed to have been
provided for by the act establishing the
school. The act is declared to be unconsti.
tutional, in that the Legislature directed the
payment of the $4,000 out of the public
frees school fund. The opinion of the Attor-
ey-General that this fund is dedicated to
The free schools, and cannot be devoted to
establishing normal school, is sustained.
The Court further declared that by the
Constitution and laws made in pursuance
thereof, this fund is to be managed by the
State Board of Education, and that this
power cannot be delegated to the trustees,
Dr. Curry and others who are the parties
petitioners. Judge Lacy delivered the opin.
ION OF majority ofthe Court, Judges Lacy,
and Fauntleroy). Judges Lew

ng the opinion, corresponding with very
pertinent decision in Missouri, that nor

hat the Legislature shall establish normal

'ears from the record that the town of
'armville made a contract with Virginia
hat if she would establish this normal
chool in that town that corporation would

was decided by the board to postpone
any matter PERTAINING to the county
seat question until Wednesday at 10
A. NJ. Atthat time petitions signed

presented to the board asking them to
call an election the coming fall on the
location of the county seat. Cham

ing the question. Iii of the names
We're on the petition first mentioned.
This would leave 1871 on the betitlon.
The assesors list shows 1850 votes in
the county. Two thirds of this num-
Der, the amount required by the board
to COMPEL them to declare an election,
would be 100. Thus it will be seen
the petition has 81 more names than
is necessary. Arguments for grant
the petition were made by w. II. Cur

Robbed.

One of the most dastardly outrages
ever pcrpctrated upon an American
citizen; q crime that would cause the
tongue of shame to MATTE the cheek
of the most hardened criminal, has
been committed in our mldst--
Just as we had finished writing
the above opening paragraph, . copy
of Tuesdays Daily Index was handed
M; from which We clip the following
as ii saves us the trouble Of expressing
similar sentiments.
"Brothcr Tinan is the maddest
man in the country. Some low-l,ved
sneak broke into his claim shanty enc
night last week and stole everything
he could carry away, including bedd-
ing, dishes, stoyc-pipc and a stone
jug. The latter was empty of course
but was highly valued because Of
long and pleasant associations. The
thief also removed a window from
the building and carried it away.
Taking all in all, it was one of the
meancst robcries we ever heard of,
and we hope the base plunderer of
Tinan's once comfortable and happy
rural home may soon be apprehended
and held over the hot Goals Of the
law. Any man who would steal from
a poor editor is mean enough to sneak
down cellar during family prayer and
lick the cork of a molasses Jug"
P. s. The Index purposly neglected
TO mention that a prayer book and a
copy Of Gospel Hymns e also
stolen.
