This is the closing week of the pOiti-
cal campaign, as before another issue
of this paper the die will have been
cast. It is attended at its close with
more than usual excitement-an excite
ment growing out of incidents peculiar
to this campaign and caused no doubt
by the knowledge which the registra-
ton list affords of the clcseness in votes
between the two parties The first
intimation of such purpose to strike
from the list nearly 200 voters was
divulged two weeks ago, followed on
Saturday week by certain aflidavits
against about 60 voters in Duck Creek
hundred, less number in other hun
dreds; then the action on Saturday of
the majority of the Registration Board
in erasing their names, succeeded by
the Republicans appealing to the Court
for a preremptOry mandamus ordering
said voters to be restored to the privi-
lege of citizenship guaranteed by the
constitution of the State. At this
writing the hearing had not been con-
cluded, but the Court is expected to
reach a decision to-day. There was
no doubt yesterday among the lawyers
land the Courtroom was filled with
interested parties) as to the result, viz
the Court will issue the mandarin:
ordering the names restored. People
had read with surprise OF the efforts &

THE Iader came to US last week with
a copy of the picture of "mixed
school" in Pennsylvania folded in it..
Presumably copy of the picture was
sent out in every issue of that sheet, as
the statement is made in cue of the
State papers that Prof. Handy mad
10000 of them printed to scatter broad
cast over the commonwealth. MIXED
schools'are never heard of only little
while before each biennial election, and
then packed away in lavender for a
two years more keeping. Thus, for
three successive campaign seasons we
believe, Prof. Handy has brought out
and enforced on the people the doctrine
Of mixed schools, indOctrinating them
in the public mind with his most per
suasive eloquence The people natur-
ally ask why should Mr. Handy SO
press this question on the public mind
