In nearly every grammer school in the city there ia just each another excresconce, in the shape of what iscalled a sepplementary courre of in- struct on, This course is confined to pupils uot! ethan thirteen years of age, who have 62 ce y Jearnod all that ts tauglt in the regu Jay course, and who desire to learn, among other things, algebra, geometry, astronomy, vhyslology, rhetoric, Dbookkveping, the acien.co of government, and mechanical and architecuical drawing. The number who enter upon this course is, we learn, neually very small in proportion to the rest of the school, while nearly as many teachers are employed in it asin the lower departments, and, from the nature of their qualification thelr pay is much higher. It therefore ac- tually costs the city nearly as much to teach the few children who can aflord to go to school after they get to be thirteen years old, and whose tastes lead them to pursue the wore ornamental branches of study, as it doce all the reat put together.

Witn Cumpacn and Gov, BAKen of that State, Cusmack was promt nent as an aspirant for the Republican nomi. nation, and the correspondence was brought ont with a view to damage his chances, It cons'sted of the two lettors which wo sub- join: Gor, Roker.

Ido most earnestly hope for the unity of the Republican party, Tam, as ever, your trier a, WILL CUMBACK, InprANAvorts, Jam, 4 1903, Tron, Witt Cumback, Greensburg, Ind. 6in: Your commnntention of the Oth invt. was reevlved, and absence from the city prevented an immediate reply, The proposition is corrupt and indecent, and 1 feel humiliated that any human being should measure me by so low a standard of common morality as to make it, 1 have the honor to be your obedient servant, SONRAD BAKET These letters wero very elaborately do- bated in the Senate of Indiana on the 14th and 15th inst., especially by the Hon, Jamus Hvaites, an Independent Republican, and himself a candidate for the Senatorship. ‘The sentiment prevailing in the discussion was, that Mr, Cuseaack’s propoeal was really corrupt and indecent, as Gov. Baker had do- scribed it. No friend of the accused gentle man defended his letter, aud finally the Sen- ate adopted resolutions condemning it as “an improper attempt to tamper with the in- togrity and destroy the independence of the appointing power vested in the Governor.” We daro say that many of the gentlemen who denounced Mr. Cumpack, and joined in passing the resolutions against him, were per- tly sincere in their expressions; but some who took part in the debate talked very much like hypocrites. Considering that the authors of the correspondence were intimate personal friends as well as members of the same party, it was not a very wicked thing in Cumpact to write his letter, Such arrange ments are constantly made between poli cians; and if the gentlemen of that profes tion never did anythingg worse, the world would be better offthan it is, Indeed, the re- solves of the Indiana Senate seem to have been regarded as nothing but humbng by tho very body which adopted them ; for at the logisiative caucus on the evening of the Mth inet. Mr. Commack received fifty-one votes against twenty scattered among four other competitors, and was thus mado the candidate of his party, and we prosumo ho will be chosen Senator, The election takes place today. — Sound Democratic Sentiments. The World is properly classified smong tho ablest Democratic journals of the cou try. Ia giving some hints to its party New Hampshire respecting the approaching election in that State, it recommends that it nominate for Governor “ ono who is not identi- fied with past struggles or past issues, and who would come before the people as the representative of a party which will contend for nothing which the Presidential election of 1868 may fairly be assumed to have set- tled, and will make no man its leader in county, State, or national campaigns who, clinging to what is dead in the past, is un- able to fix his eyo steadily on what affects the prevent and will affect tha,future.” ‘'Vhese wise words afford proofs, as striking 8 they are gratifying, that lofluential and far. sighted Democrats see not only the perils that environ their party and threaten its existence, but point to the avenue through which it may escape, and reach the com. manding position it once Leld in the nation. If evidence were needed that the World intends that its advico ehull have a far Lronder wpplication than the exige of the New Hampshire election, it is furnished in the closing paragraph of its cogent ap- peal, “The members of the Democratic party, from the highest to the lowest,” says this judicious journa), “cannot be too thoroughly permeated with the idea that the new era upon which we are entering—in deed, have entered—calls for new men where old ones have not suceeeded, and for an in- ent discernment between the issues that Delong to the dead past and those which are justinct with the life of today and quickened with a life in the future.” These sentiments will not appear novel to the readers of Tut Sun, For a year past we have been iaculcating them upon the Demo- cratic party, Not in their substance only, but in their very phraseology, the quotations we have given suund like echocs from our own columns, We congratulate our contemporary upon the clearnces of its vision and the boldness of ite utterance, If the Democracy will not hail it asa beacon light by which to guide their course, they may listen to itas a fog rellaed (9 160%, previons to bie finning as the bli¢am copdidate for Lieutenant Gorernce of nsin. ‘There can bene question, wo pre- sume, that he fe cligible to the offlce to which he has now been chosen, eg Tho Democrats are delighted with the election of Mr. Fextox to the Sonate, They think it precedes the entire breaking up of the Republican party in the State. In their judg. ment, it inangurates # foud {n that party as biiter and dangerous as the famous conflict between the Weed and Seward men on the ono ride and the Greeley men on the other, In that case, Axpr Jonxsow came in to save the party from destruc. tion, and the fight was ended by the complete triumph of the Groeley men, toon to be further filustrated, in all probability, hy the appointment of Mr. Gaeeter as Minister to the Court of St, James. Perhaps @ similar quarrel may now break ont; but, on the other hand, it may bo that the Republicans will have wit enough to heal up their differences, and go ahead recraiting their forces, They are madly in ned of anion and harmong, aswell as of @ wiser policy ; for under their present ayatem thoy have reduced themselves to @ woful atd ominons minority in the State, If they mean to regain what they have lost, they must leave off quarrel.
