a few days ago the 0bscrrer gave a
leugthy account of the drummer barber
deserting his wife and three children and
marrying Miss Annie Tate, OF Hender.
sonvile, We gave both good send oil
and all would have been well but for the
vndictive wickedness of the editor of

stirring up the sympa by Of the ncwspa-

country in behalf of the young lady, for
the Laadmark to come out with the lol'

but as Joe enjoys 4 more intimate ac-
quaintance than we do with the young
lady, we must take his statement as au.
lhorily. lie says: 1T is very sad
story and we regret that we cannot lind
room for the whole OF it. What makes
it so much more sad is the fact that this
is the second or third time Miss Annie

Filled with I'riciliu;r.

New YoGK, April lO.--Autonu
Pisino, twenty-five years old, WAS taken
to Bellevue hospital on Monday night.
EIe complained of tenderness and pain
in his muscles, and thought he was suH
ering from rheumatism. His symptoms
were those of trichinosis, and it was dis,
covered thai he was afflicted with u well
defined case of that disease. a piece OF
muscle, about the size OF Il small pea,
was taken from his arm and examined
under the microscope. In the muscular
tissue were found overa dozen trIchlnn'
DIR. Hammond, assistant house surgeon
of the hospital, said that it had not yet
been fully determined whether The dis
ease can be cured or not. The treat
meut now followed is to give the patient
cathartics and build up his system with
tories and nourishing food. Much has
to be left to nature. In pi>ino's case the
disease has made great headway, The
trichn;c being found in all the muscles.
This can be determined by the pain it
causes the patient when pinched in any
part of the body. But three authentic
cases of trichinosis have been treated at
Bellevue hospital in five years.

We publish elsewhere the letter OF
Senator Butler, relative to his position
upon the Educational Bill, which has
recently passed the Senate. The Senator
Is somewhat nettled at the strong criti-
cism upon him for changing front on
this measure, and speaks plainly his
mind as to them. We have no doubt
that he was actuated by proper motives
in assuming both positions, and that be
changed his mind because he believed
the passage of the bill would injure the
South. Believing as he does, we think
his course was manly aud proper, but we
do not at all agree with his present views.
The negro will not, after the present
election, be any appreciable factor in
promoting sectional politics. he is a
citizen, and is to-day getting his portion
offthe school tax paid by our people,
and to that extent taking from the prop
er maintenance of the schools for white
children in the State. The proposed
appropriation will benefit the cause of
education, and give to all classes of our
citizens better educational advantages.
We do not perceive any great danger of
raising up crop of witnesses among the
negroes 10 yex our citizens in this State.
Taken s'together, we think our able and
efficient Senator has allowed his imagi-
nation to get sway with his judgment in
this matter.

The y, S. Marshal Case.

W.,*ilJSGro&, a pril i3-It WAS a>ctr.
Iaincd at ;he department Of Justice lc-
day that the charges against ex Marshal
Blythe and his deputy, A. +. PhiIippy,
originated from the rendering of false
actual expense accounts, in which he
charged larger sums than were actually
expended. An investigation was ordered
by the department last May and has been
continued until now, 50 That all the facts
might bc brought out. Blythe also took
credit for payments which he did not
actually make in his disbursement ac-
count He also misapplicd public funds.
For instance, funds were turned over to
him for Il certain appropriation, but he
misapplied them and rendered false
weekly statements to cover his tracks. In
the case o. the deputies The same old
charges were made of disbursements ior
services never rendered. Meals would
be charged which were not furnished
and the same in the case OF guards for
prisoners who never accompanied them
also for transportation which was not
furnished. IN the case of Philirpy he
would send for man to come and sec
him and would then charge the Govern
meut for transportation, guard. meals
&c. which were never furnished. From
all accounts he has succeeded in making
his escape into Mexico, and it is consid
cred doubtful if he can be reached 10y
process Of law. There is 40 doubt thai
there is good case against Blythe and
Philippy, and the amcunl disalIowed il
the marshal's account will run up into
the thousands. 1t is proposed 10 g
ahead and try these cases rs speedily a;
possible.

The Senate has passed the Educational
bill with some amendments, by q vote OF
3S yeas to IL nays, with 92 absent mem
bers. Senator Hampton voted aye, and
Senator Butler nay. The bill now goes
to the House where its fate is uncertain,
although its friends have strong hopes
that they will be able to pass it. 1t is
intimated that Col. Aiken, the Chairman
of the Committe on Education, is opposed
to the bill, but we trust this may prove
incorrect. We believe that nine tenths
of the people of this District favor its
passage, aud we hope our Immediate
representative will use his position to
forward its consideration and adoption
TIE common school is to-day the dial
shade by which the progress and devel'
opment of States may be read. Its per-
fection is the greatest accomplishment to
which craftsmanship can direct its atten:
ton. The affording Of the advantages
of education to all our citizens is the
greatest boon that philanthropy can be,
stow upon the multitude. The'very life
and civilization of the State depends
upon education. In republics, where the
people.are the scvereigns, it is pre-emi-
nep.ly true, and any State which from
temporary expediency or prejudice neg
lects the education of her children, is in
dulging such expediency or prejudice at
an enormous loss to her future progress.
It is upon the citizen Of limited means
that the common school system, when
efficient, confers the greatest blessing.
It gives to their children an equality in
the race for progress with the children OF
The wealthy. 1t is the duty, therefore,
of the State to give to ali her children
the advantages of solid primary educa-
ton. The trouble with us is that we
have not the means fully to perform this
duty, owing to the fact that we have a
very large number of negro children in
the State whose parents contribute very

There are strong indications now that
the Democrats may take Senator bayaro
for their Presidential candidate il Mr..
Tilden refuses to run. Mr.. Bayard is,
and has been for years, our first choice
for the nomination. His high character
and clear and conservative record would,
we believe, ensure his election. If the
wrapglers in the Democratic party can in
duce our Convention to nominate such a
man as Mr.. Bayard, it will more than
compensate for all the damage that they
can do.
