'Tho funeral took place at Vicksburg yosterday, tho remnins of tho brave aud chivalrous oflicer being followad to the grave by a lorye coucourse of people sorrowing wincerely for theloss of one wlio was a friend indoud, According to a Washington dispatch print- ed this morning, Laxnent Toex is unwilling to become a candidate for Hepreseutativo from tho T'hird District even upon tho por- suasivo terms offered by the Domocratic Cowmittes, and iv as yot undecided whother ho would consent to scrve if elected. 'I'o a man who dova not waut the oftico, and who will bo utterly unalle to conduot tho can- vass in person, the prospect of being put up against his will only to b knocked down Without being able to offor any resistauce inuot very attractive, and it is altogother likely that the Third District Dewocracy will again Lo reduced to tho necessity of Eoing u begging for a candidato, — Judge JanrsoN, of the Buperior Court, Lad an intoresting experience yestorday with a jury in tho suit against Aixz Evaxa to re- cover the 2 per cent commission on the city tazes retained by him as South Town Collue- tor. ‘Tholawin the case was clearly oud explicitly pointed out by the Court in the in. structions to the jury, but tho latter, consti. tuting themselves judges of both tho Jaw and’ the ficts, rendered iu favor of the defendant & verdict 80 grossly in contravention of the law that it wus prowptly sot aside Ly Judge Jauesoy and the jurors discharged with a fit. tily rebuke. Tt is uot an uucommon thing for petit jurics to violate law, equity, aud deceucy in their verdicts, and the occasional exerclse of tha veto power of the Court, after the mauner of Judgo Jamesox's firm sud upriglt treatment of the Evaws case, is calculated to have a most satutary effect. et Mtoh et Delaware is o auwall State, but there are comparisons fn which tlus little Commson- wealth shows up to immense advantage. "I'he Greenbackers held what was advertised to be a Btate Oouveution in Wilmington yesturday. There wero in attendance jost thirly-ous delegates, of which number Wil wivgton contributed twenty-five.

The Fiat pbalanx ‘in Delawara may bo wenk ns to numbers, but it ia strong indeed in their per. ceptions of the magnificent currency possi- bilities embodied in the flery, untamed rag- money *idoo.” * : . The Congrosslonal campnign has nover be- fora boon so prolific in candidates or compli- cated 1n issues, Thera are 203 Congrassional Districts in tho United States, nud of these fifty-one have thus far clected Congressmen, leaving 242 qistricts as yet unropresented. In these districts thero should be, under the rulo of straight nomtnntions, 726 eandidates, but there are alrendy 84 candidates for elec- tion, although 127 districts are yot to com- plets nominations, When theso are filled, there will ba nenrly 1,000 candidates for Congress in the November eloction. The field is nlmost as badly mixed as the recent Patlinmentary fleld in Germany. There are Repnblicans, Independent Republicans, Demoerats, Independent Democrats, BurLer Democrats, Greenbackers, Indopendent Greenbackers, two or throe factions of Groen- backera distinguishod from the original by the names of thelr leaders, Conservatives, People's candidates, Prohibitionists, and So- claliats, By o rosolution passed yeslorday, a Com- mittea of the Citizens’ Association is request- ed to moot and confer with & Committee of the Connty Board for the purpose of devising the best means for raising funds to continue the work on the Court-House Building. No conferenco is necossary to deviso monus for thisend. It nceds no Committes from the Citizons' Associntion to discover tho bost way of raising mouney to finish the Court. House, A porfectly simplo, oasy, and sure way is for the Ring membera of the County Board to rosign and allow their places to be filled with honest men at the ensuing clec- tion. Once tho taxpayers are assured that ono-half the money realized from a new fsauo of bonds will not be stolen by the Ring, thora will be no difilculty in raising moro monsy. But the taxpayers will not vote the bouds o long s the present corrupt combination holds control and thoroe is dan ger that at least two of its members may bo re-elocted. Nothing is suror than that. MR, TILDEN'S PLEA, Mr, TiLoes's open letior on the subject of tho ciphor dispatches fs more of n whine than o denial. In that respoct it is charac. teristie, for Mr. T1LnEN hgs givon Limself up to lamentation, either personally or by proxy, aver since Croxiy failed him'and the Orogon vote slipped through his fingers, It has be. como excoedingly tedious, aud the exposure of tho Democratio efforts at bribery in Flor- ida and South Carolina has not had tho effect of drawing out any new sympathy for the tiresome lament. 8o fav as the deninl goes, it is sufficiently Lrond and sweoping in its torms, Every ono who rends it this' morning will bo im. pressed with tho fact that Mr, TrLoxN desires to sny lio knew nothing abont the scandalous business, It is not impossible that Mr. Trr- vEN bns beon crafly enough to leavo soma small loop-bole out of which he can crawl in cnso the responsibility of the dispatches shall ever bo absolutely fixed upon him, but it would take n lawyor equally crafty to dis- covor {t. 'Wa profer to accopt his letter us n positiva nnd nnequivoeal deninl of all con- nection with the Florida and Bouth Carolina nttempts at Lribory, and for two reasons: (1) It is the ouly answor that Ttubew could make without confessing his disgrace, and (2) Mr, TiLozx is the sort of man, if Lo went into the business of bribery, to cover his trucks so carefully that his own fndjviduality could nover be fitted into thom. In tho faco of this denial, however, tho facts romain undisputed that the cipher dis- pstches wero cxchanged; that thoy have' Ueen corroctly printed and acourately traus. Inted; that tho authorship of the most damning of them lies at the door of the T'1r- vEN residence in Grameroy Park; that thoy wero cxchanged botwoen PELTON, At the Now York end, and Mannr, at tho Florida ond,— tho one thoe nophew nnd confidentinl agent of T1Loey, aud -tho other his chosen political lioutonant, It would bo dificult for any man environed by so closely-linked a chain of convicting circumstances to freo himsolf Dy tho simplo plea of “uot guilty” which ninety-uiuc out of uvery one bundred enter up; but it {4 especially difilcult (we are tompted to say impossible) for a wan like TiLoex to earn immumty from suspicion Ly such n°ples, forit is not the first time that Lio Lins beon acensed of disroputable conduct under circumstances cqually suspicious, A man who amnssed a great fortune in rail. road-wrecking; a wan who is belioved to have purchased the nomination for Presi. dont; & nan who is to«isy o trial for de- frauding the Government by sawearing to a fulso ucome, and who recontly used cipher telegrams to sanction the forcible wnppras- sion of evidence ealculuted to help convict hin,—such a,man ean scarcely command the confidenco of the American people by mersly saying ho Is not guilty, when all the circum. stances ure opposod to such atheory, W aro iuclined to thirk, too, that wost of those who read TiLves's letior will come to the couclusion that ho *“doth protost too much.” Whon bo scoffs at the idea of trying to purchnse Eluctors because his own Elact. oni * Liad been aotnally chosen,” aud when Lo bonsts that if any proposition for bribery had como within his power he would have used that power to “ crush it out,” thory 1s on assumption of virtue which will bringa smilo evon to the lips of Democrats who aro nowmourningover the exposureof Democrat. {s corruption. Aud it is ouly when he reverts to the phrase, * systewm of reforms,” that wo recognize how completely that cant has beon turned into ridicule. If Mr, ‘I1epEn over séod the comle papers, or could sufficiently relux his paturo.to commuue with contem. porancous salirists in cartoons, wo thivk ho would havo avoided all suth expressions, ‘Thiero is ono point in thy letter that may bo worth special mention. Mr. ‘IiLoex says that e did not kuow anything sbout this bribery business **till after Dec. 6,” whon tho votes wera cast, 'Tlren ho did know of it long Loforo now. How is it that o omi. nently virtuous a citizen as Le affects to be could waintain silency during theso two long years ubout #o vicious a proveeding? Iow 1 it thut ho baa failed to expose; repudiate, and deuounce a corrupt kcheme which he must bave folt would by charged up sgsinst bim if over ruvealed by ovy oue elsa? Wouldn't it hiave boeon the natural course for su innocent aud patriotiv wan, at the very first iutjuation of such nefarious businoss, to scek imwmunity for himslf by voluatasily exposing and condemuung it? . The carly kuowledge of tho affair to which Mr. TTLDKN now confusses bas nuother bearing on tho cese. Buch kncwledgo wust Lave fucluded the cogulznes of the fuct tlut his nephow, Pruroy, was one of the princi palain the transnction, Vet it in well knowa that Letween Dec. 6, 1877, and March 4, 1877, this same nephow, PRLTON, was nt Washington as the nctivo manager of Air, TiLpey, Aguring and wire-pulling to secure a misconnt of the votea by Congress, IHow could 8o upright a man ns Mr, TsLpex have permitted so great n scoundrel as PrrroN, after having had information of the latter's complieity in the bribery business, to repro- scnt his intereats in the subsequent struggle to ronch the White House? Tho problem is perplexing,—coheurring always in Mr, Tit- DEN'S protestations of virtue,~—and Mr. Tir- oex should not have confessed to any knowl. edge at any timo abont anything, Wo shall not stop o consider Mr. Trz- DEN'S “argument” to show that heis the Presidont; it is an argnment known in logic ns ““begging the question.” Ilis prosent complaint about Congress ** abdicating™ lorca most of its force when wo recall Mr, Hew- 1’8 testimony to the effect that ho (Trr- neN) approved of what he now calls **abdi. cation,” and the phrasing whereby e secks to pictura the high and nnrestricted authority of Congress to count the votes is a con. firmation of the right of Congress to adopt the mothod finally chosen, All this, how- avor, is foreign to the caso in hand. The only question is whether Mr, TiLpen's denial, scrutinized in the light of the cir- cumstances wo have stated, Is entitled to boliof. A very large part of the American peoplo, without regard to party, will cou. clude that it is not. Tho plea of *‘not guilty " is onlerod on the rucord, and the prisoner is remanded for further trial. e WAITING FOR THE ICEBERG. Mr. Cuanves Fraxcis Apass bLitherto bas boen considered so far removed from the frailty that charnctorizes ordinary humanity thiat ho hins como to Lo popularly regarded ns a sort of' vestal virgin of the masculine per. suasion seated upon an lecborg so cold, so glassy, so high, so impenotrable, that its sammit lins never yot thawed sufficiontly to dampen the seat of Lis lrousers, A man ocenpying such a position of low thermome- tar, where butter nover melts in the mouth aud emiles freeze instantly, mnay affcct-to eriticige the rest of tho world benenth him, appoint himself Judge and jury in all cases affecting the walfare of mankind, considar himsolf proof agninst tho blandishments and temptations that affoct other podple who can't sit on jcobergs and enjoy themselvas, and ot liberty to give his upiutons whother any ona asks for them or not, Acting in this capacity, Mr, Ciantrs Fraxcis Apaus, upon the occasion of tho Presidential election, informed tho country of his disapproval of its action, although tho country had not expressed any wish to Liear from the top of the jveberg., Ife toll the peopla they hind done wrongto consent to an Electoral Commission, IIe charactorizod tho members of the Senale and of the Su. prome Court as dishonorable, He npplied ** the brand of fraud " to the President-alect. Now, if things appeared in_this light to him on the top of the iceberg, ha may Lave von. siderod it his duty to act the part of tho stern censor ; but sineo that timo thero Lias beon somo fraud golng on that is perceptibl to tho naked oye, and ita rospousibility Lng beon tracod dircetly to 1he door of No. 16 Gramercy Park, whero Basomn J.

Tho proof ix overwhelm. ing that Sauuen J, ‘LiLpey mado overtures to pay 850,000 for the Yresidoncy by buying up Florids, and that ho furnisbed the sum of $80,000 to buy up South Carolina, und ovly failed in ench instance through his fatal mn. nin for beating down customers. Now if a man is going tobe tho consor of tho world he must be immaculate himsolf. It never would do for the vestal virgin to keop the lnnp burning at the shrine and admit lovers in by the back door, He must draw 2o lines of distinction, Frand must be fraud to him wherever ke finds it, whoover commits it, This bundlo of frand was loft at Mr. L't~ pex's front door several wuoks ngo, and yot not n sonnd has boen heard from the top of the fuoberg. Is he asloop? Is Lo frozen to denth? s he himself n orystallino, glassy, frigid, iey humbug? All tha little world 1 watching nt the foot of the fcoberg for an- other brand? What is Lo doing? 1ay the now fraud thawed the jceberg uud drowned Lim? ‘WANTED--A CANDIDATE, Tho Democrats of tho North Side are be. tween a ohiver and a sweat. Thero aro plenty of candidates for Congress, such as thcy are, but the respectablo ones don't stick any bettor than sn uugummed stamp, After ruking the district all ovor at tho ontuet and uot finding a candidate, the Democracy wont to Europe and found Lamneur t'see, aud nominated him, helter skelter, and then anxiously awaited b arriva) to seo if hu would run, The first thing the Judge did, After stepping on shora frow tha stesmer, was to decline the nomiuation politely and porcmptorily. 'The Judgd was too busily ungaged in ronding * Great Expectations,” His health was not very good. He hind largo family carcs. Ilis Lusiness wns pressing.

Committee started on another Luut for a candidate, Thoy wont alt over the Nprth Side, from Lincoln Park to thd river sud from tha lake to tho North Branch, without scaring up any game. They weat through the lordly wmanors of Yiuo strect, (he palatial mansious of Laflalle streot, the beer-shops of Clark street, tho distilleries of the North Branoh, tho slums of Kinzie stroet, the crowds at the Turper MHall, and never stopped until the Mau at tho Crib positively refused to come ashore aud run. Inafit of sheor despera- tion, the Commiltes took a humorous view of the situation, went up to the temporance village of Evanston, aud pominated Dz, N. B. Davis! Tho effect wasg instantancous, If by somo sacrol apparatus a colossal douche had been applied to the wholu. North Side, drenching cvery one to tho wkin with lcy sproy, the result could wot have been more appalling. Cold shivers ran down the back of the North Side. Denunciations of the Waisersampel were hoard everywhere. There was a talk of barricades ‘in the becr. saloous. Barloy fell in tho wmarket. Men stopped on tho streot and asked each other if this weroa joke. Thoro wes Lot dis. cusion iu the beor-saloous as-to the avail- sbility of swinging thejbridges andquarantin- ing Evanston.

Would the rosorvoir burst? Would a tidal wave from the lake wash them away? Rolief came tho noxt day, The enlnnfly wan averted. Deer wns saved and Gemuot- lichkeit once moro roigned, Dr. Davis de- clined tho nomination. Tired of looking for cnndidates, the Committce has once more saddled the nomination upon Lasnent Tase, and now doclares ho mnust run, whother he willornot. If he will not min himself, he shall bo pulled over the course. He must come up to tho rack, fodder or no fodder. Is this nltogether courteons? s it altogother fair to sot up a oandidate against Lis will, who will wmake no cffort in his own behalf, and allow him to be beaten down by his opponent without n contest? There nre othor candidates in Europe.

SUBSIDY IN A NEW BHAPE. A great poet, wnting in the interest of reform, wound up ono of his stanzas Ly teiling what, In caso of a failuro in reform, would bo tho noxt beat thing: If we cannot alter things, By Gnn, we'll change their names, elrs. Thero was o Convention held on Wednes- day evening in ono of tho rooms of the Grand Pacific Ilotel in this city having for its purposo the promotion of international commoree, whereby thoro might be a larger tendo betwoon the United States and Mexico and the Atlantic nud Pacific States of South Awerles, with Australia, Jnpan, China, and our American neighbors of Canada nnd the West ‘Indies. Tho **international.com- morco " proposition isa taking one. 1Itlis, moreover, a wiso and most sensible mensure, ono which has beon prohibited for alinost a goneration lvy our tariff law, and to promote which most dirootly, speedily, and effectually requires only the ropeal by Congress of the *protoctive” foatures of our rovonuo laws. The meeting, or Convontion, of Wednesday evoning, with remarkable dexterity on the part of tho orator and tho suthors of the resolutions, avoided nll reforonce to this mnost sorions of all tho obstacles to a large &zport trado in American manufactares, Gen, Craus Bussey, Iresidont of the New Orlenns Chamber of Commerco, was presnt, and addrossed the assemblago on the subject of international trade. The Prosident of the United States and numerous other per- sous high in official rank hud been invited, but unfortuuately were pot able to bo pres- ent. The apooch was an instructive one—on international commorco. It was an intoresting one, showing how civiliza. tion snd cowmerce always go hand in lbend, =snd that true cominerce consisted, of an interchange of commoditics, Weo wnntod many things, such, for instance, a9 sugar, and the wmore liberally wo bought of this the more liburally the foroign pro- ducors of thoso, articlos would buy of our cotton goods aud u varloty of other goods, ncluding onr provisions, We need not ro- capitulato the arguwmonts, the {llustrations, the fncts, uod tigures so ubly und’clearly pro- sonted by Gun, Bussey, They wero omi- nently satisfactory, and ought to bo con. clusivo on tho polnt that a foreign commerco 18 desirablo; that tho greator this commerco tho better for this country and for all its in. sterestd; that the United Blates aro so lo. cuted on the map of the world as to have superior advantages for dealing with all the Siates on this continent, aud with Japan, und Ching, and Australia; that our vp- riod climate and productious, vur inoxhaust. ible fuul, our abundance of raw aterial, and cheap food, should unable uy to be man- ufacturors for nil tho nutions of the earth, and honce we ought to hava the wealth, rep- resoutod by tho products of all tho earth, pouring into onr lap, purchased by an ex- chunge of our own products, With all this the readora of Tue Tumune are familiar, that question having been long and froquent. ly discussed in this paper. . Having told tho story of our commercinl possibilities, und forcibly coutrasted thom with our actual trade, especially with conn. tries with which wo Lad advantageouns prox- imity, Gon, Bussgy oxplained the real pur. poso of his visit here, ond of his addross. ‘Fhe ** promotion of intornatioual commorce " was tho new and euphonious name by which ho described the grauting of subsidies to Tox Bcorr’s Tuoxas Pacific Railway, aud subsidies to varlous lines of ocean steamships rouning from all the At. lantic ports to the West Indies, to Drasil, to Buenoy Ayros, to Chili, to Poru, to Australia, to Japun, und China; andnlso to Germuny, Frauco, aud Greut Dritain, with nt least one lino to the forts on the Mediterrancun, and perhnps another through tho 8Suez Canal to tho Last Indies. Frow romarks msdo by nm we assume that he wants o subsidized live of stenmers from Duluth to Liverpool, which, of course, in. cludos another line frow St Louts to Lon- don, 5 Gon, Nussey admitted that the term ** sub- 8idy " hud bocome oglious (o the American people, and’ Lience, we supposo, the chango of name from that of an appeal to the peo- ple for n subsidy of §150,000,000, casli or bonds, to onablo some bankrupt construction compaules to build a railroad, and sonw fifty or @ hundred millions of dollars aunually to sulaidize occan steamships, to that of a schemo to promoto * iuterna- tional . commorce,” The - thing tself hes mnot boen changed. Tox ' Scorr bas a right of way aand s grant of langd to build o rilrond from a point fu ‘Texas through the Torritories of Now Mexico and Arizoua to a poiut in Culiforuia. Ho wants tho Govornment ta guarautes tho interest for forty years on his funds at the rate of $35,000 per wilo ; otherwise he cauuot build the road. At the samo ‘thne there isa rail. road comploted from Ban Franclico for 700 wilos to tho line of Arizons, and the Cow- pauy is asking the right of way only through tho territory to tho cast, Oue liue asks ouly pormnission to cross the Government land sud no subsidy, and the meeting at the Pacific Hotel actually votud that Congress ought to vote tho subkidy—swounting iu all to $150,- 000,000-~in 0:der 10 preveat the other com- pany building the rond at ita own expense. And this shonld bo done under the pretenso of promoting international tradal ‘Tho coolest pieco of impuidence, howover, was the association of the Northern Pacific Railrond Compauy with Tox Scorr's Acheme. Tho Northern Pacific nsks for no subsidy, Ite constrnction wns inter- rupted by the panic and by the failure of its mavagers, and all that the new Company nsks {s that Qongress shall extend the time in which the road shnll bo completed. That is no subsidy, and]that is all that is nsked ; nand to treat tho two maasures as identicnl is not honest or just, even to promote inter- national commerce, The country has tired and becomo dis- guated with tho dishonest systom of subsi- dios, and will have no more of it, There Is 1o mora fjustico or propriety in subsidizing ateanters running on the ocean than thore is subsidizing steamers on the internal rivers nod lnkes; and thero I8 no more reason or jusoo in taxing the country to enable men to operate ocean stenmahips than thero is subsidizing mon to build and operate’ cannl-boats, or to build clevators and warehouses, or fo build and operata cotton and woolen mills, or to work segar or {obaceo plantations, or to grow corn and whent, or to operate s distillery, or earry on o dry-goods or a hardwaro store, a black- smlith's shop or a rolling.mill. ‘The whole system is rotten and corrupt, false in prin- ciple, and unjust in practice,—in fact, it is nothing but robbery of the many to support o system of genteel panperism. THE COUNTY BOND STEAL. + Thore is ono houest reporter on the Chica- go- Times, or rather there was one lonest ro- porter on ihat paper; we fenr that his carecr camo to an untimely end yosterday. 'Chis young man, ovidently ambitious to ostablish n good name for thae concern which employ- od bim, went around among cortain taxpny- ers lo ascortain their opinions sbont the pro- poscd ssue of $760,000 county bonds for the benefit of tho Ring, He found a unanimous sentimont agninst this audacious steal, aud Lonestly roported it s he found it. Besides giving tho individual exprossions of opinion which ho gothered, he summarized his caso as follows: Those who own any real eatate, imnroved or un- improved, incity lots or subnrban ncreave, nnd those who own any personsl property that is tax. ablo, in short, thu taxpaying broportion of the cuminunity that keeps buth o county and munics ipal mills” going, are strongly averse to it (L. r, the lsmue of bonds,] Mony are afrald that the #chemo to et the bonds voted may provall after al), through tho carelessness of the people, and while they do not huitato to avow thiefr bellef thut the peopla will kill the scheme ot the volls If they Keepa uirict watch of the tickets, they nevertiie lers feal apprehensive that some trickery will mmmu to that will causd thio success of the Coun- ty ting. Thero is no doubt that the reporter who wroto the above told tho truth, and it ho had _visited 10,000 taxpayers he would have fonud tho sentiment opposed to the bouds about as unanimoygs as it was among tho fow whom ha sctually interviewed. But how bad this raporter's chancos arg for keoping his place may bo inferred from tho fact that AMr, Sronry, tho editor and proprictor of the pn. per, printed a leading editorial only a dny or two Lefore, urging the poople to vote the Ring .Londs. The following is oxtracted from tho cditorial article : 'There |8 no question as to the desirability of go- ngz un with the work; and it is equally not a ques tion an lo the fact that the work nust atop unless 1he people of the county pormit the loan to be made. e contractors have for monthe tad up- bl work, . . . ‘The county certafuly ought to favor tho lssio of The 8600, 000 1n bonas [the call ta for $700,000, providing it l)m}mnul to have the Court-lloues completed, i simply doing o very menn thing in pursning a conrso which per- mits its paper to be pedaled around the strevts and held nt such o discount.

It is only necessary to keop tho facts about tho proposad issuo of Iting Londs bofora the peoplo to insure an overwhelm. ing dofeat of the schieme. Wo will restato somo of them briefly, - 'To vote nn issuo of $7560,000 bonds will givo tho present Ring over two millivns of dollars to squander end steal during the next year, The Lting have actually appropriated the entire tax-levy for the cominy year in gou- eral expunses, in order to persuado the publio that it will be uecessary to issue bonds or stop work, To vole the bonds, therefore, will result in the oxpunditure of noarly $160,000 more during the coluy year for the support of the conuty institutions than wad expended vither Jast year or the yunr beforo. 3 ‘When the Ring denired the public to lusue §500,000 bonds n year ago, the same an. uouncoment was mado (hat the bonds must Le fwuned or tho work stopped; the people, novertheless, rofuscd to vote the bouds, aud then the Ring was obliged to save wouoy out of thd gonoral expenses in urder to pro. ceed with tho work, ‘Tho situation is pre- clsely tho samo this yoar, Up to this timo tho Niug has been limited to tho constitutional tax-lovy of 75 couts on £100, out of whick to draw monoy for bulld. ing the Court-Houso, and yot it has been ablo to pay out $1306,000 in * extrus" (tho Ring synonyn for steals), in addition to the granito job, which was also *extra,” o place 750,000 In the hands of the Ring, plump, iu additlon to the entire tax.lovy, will cunblo the Ring to steal twice as wuch 1n ono year as they huve boen able to steal iu two years, ‘This bond question {s not a party question, <It is & schomo to plunder the taxpayers out of $(}50,000 at least during the coming year, for, if tlo bouda Lo voted, §400,000 will b speut on geucral expenses that would othor. wiso be saved, and 8250,000 of tho $750,000 Londs will be,divided amoug the Ring, 'I'ho ronl soutiment of the public on this matt, hias been correctly stated by 3r, Stonxy's re- poster, and we doubt whother even 3fr, Broney will dare to support tho job since ity * truo fnwardness " has buen oxposed, No tuxpuyer should consent to voto any ticket at next mouth’s election which dues nct couspicuously bear tho words; “‘Acainsr TuE Issus oy Counry Bonps," Io bis famous lecturs upon * Technical Edu- catton,” delivered somo tlime ayo fu Loudon, Prol.

And this subject, which can only be hinted'at here, nat- urally suggests whether we are not departing from the origiual purpose and {ntent of those who planned the common-schaol system, and provided ways and meaus to carry it on siccess- fully. Thisls a question that s attracting the attention of educators and Yaxpayers more aifl more, and wiil be likely to eliclt conslderable discusesion Lefors the publle mind is zettied uponit.

They begin to feel that there is reat deal of useless waste n our methods ol public fnstruction, and that some wholesome reforms in the intorest of cconomy are loudly demanded.
