Schley? Is it because he has Democratic
tendencies and was not an Administration

The extension of education and the cul-
tivation of a deeper moral sense among
our people will correct many evils. but

There is an old-fashioned. free-for-all
scramble going forward in New Jersey
for the Democratic nomination for the
governorship. This is good sign If
the scramble shall be continued until the
party shall have become so walked up that
its members will conclude to go to the
polls the State may be redeemed in No

The plan of a new United States Bank,
which Mr.. Ridgely. the new Comptroller
of the Currency. is said to favor, is not
now feasible. If the old bank, which was
killed in Jacksons time. had been re-

sixty years would have conformed to it,
and we should have had a system very
different from our present one: but IL is
now too late. EvolutioEs do not go back
