as the Times claims, any members of the State

Lusher's action, or who are astoflishe(

. Mr. Lusher has stated in the collumrns of tih
Timm, Itself that in what oe did he acted under
- the authority of the board. That is a squari
t, statement. The Times insinuates that (er
tarn members of the board share its curlosity
to know why and under what authority tie
Superintendent acted. It further aflirmr
that his action is "the genuine matter at
stake." Now, if the Times Is willing to pass
from vague and damaging insinuations t,
open and manly charges, let It mention those
gentiomen of the board who condemn the
action of the Superintendent as arbitrary anl
e unauthorized. This, as we have said, would
e immediately bring the whole question of
veracity to a head.
And now let us show the real aihnus of the
'limes in this fierce and disreputable attack
upon the State Board and the Superintendent
of Education. It has very Ingeniously, in its
late issues, attempted to create the impres
sion that the issue is between the Watson
readers selected by the Superintendent. for
graded selooals and the Mc(Aufoey readers
i still retained for the ungraded and originally
- provisionally selected for all the schools.
- This Is a miserable and palpable feint. The
r Times has no interest in the Metlulfey
- readers, and it Is doing the pul
I fishers of those very excellent pubii
- cations it very gross and damaging In
I Justice in attempting to antagonize theni
. with the school authorities of this State.
I The Times says it hats said nothing about
the Harper Brothers books, and that the
practical effect of Its expostulatlons would
have been to restare the Metluifey books.
Patriotic and disinterested Times! Such
cheek has never before adorned the Journalis
tic profession. Thedear, disinterested Timei'
sweet, innocent soul! 'twas only wishing to
restore the Mcultey readers to the children
and supply them with cheap hooks. Unhap
pily the facts do not sustain these professions
of disinterestedness in this iushuess.
If the public will observe, the chief
complaint of the Times all through this
controversy has been that the original
list of books chosen by the State Board of
Education has not been adhered toi. That se
lection we have time and again shown
was provisional. The Times, however.
ignores this statement made by us,
made by Mr. Lusher. and by the Board;
it does not deny it. It simply Ignores
it, and insists that the original selection was
final and Irrevocable. And why? Becanse
by the change the Mc(#uffey readers were
adopted for ungraded, and the Watson sub
stituted for the graded schools ? This is the
issue under which the Times seeks to cloak its
pertinacious attack upon the school authori
ties. JnUL is 15 not tie trUe Onll.
We find that In the original and provisional
list of books adopted that " Swinton's Lan
guage Lessons,"' punblihed by harper Iirothers,
was in it. The Harper Brothers, however, re
fused to make any reduction in prices or to
make any contribution for the indigent chil
dren, and their grammar series were rejected
for Butler's grammars, published by John P.
Morton & Co., qf Louisville, who entered into
a liberal and satisfactory arrangeuent with
the State.
This explains the motive of the 'l'imnrs'
fight. It pretends.to dusirs that the original
and provisiontal list shall be restored so that
the M(Guffeyyreaders may be replaced. Dis
gusting dissimulation! It is the organ of the
Hlar~pr Brothers, and it is fighting for the
rpstorction of the original list solely in the
int rest of the Harper Brothers' graummor
series, on the price of which the harpers re
fused to make any reduction. and of which
they refused to make any contributions.
This unmasks the Timrs: this is its whole
ti ;at. In the interest,of the Harper Brothers
it has attacked the State Board of Eluertion,
maligned the Superintendent of E l il'atiori,
asd made itseif ridiculous nod contemptible
before the whole communit y. P'e 'line's is,
then, as we have satd, the organ of the Har
per Brothers in this conte(st, and nothing
else. What share it was t) have hlel in the
spoil. er what fee in the event of failure, we
know not, nor do we dente it of suflicient
inportanee to recomnniend an investigating
committee to find out.
The Timrs complains bitterly that its ene
ruies have assailed it with "stink-pots." We
fear there may be some truth in this not
originni complaint. Indeed, we have always
found an almost irresistible disposition on
the part of the people to pelt frawlis and hum
bugs with rotten eggs, dead cats aol the
like. We are not surprised, therefore, to learn
that a few "Chinese stink-pots" have been
broken over the head of our contemporary.
We never use such weapons ourselves, and
would restrain others from using them if we
could; but. whatever we may think '.s to the
propriety of the use of "stink-pots," we
warn the Timrs that they will be used against
It by the less relined until it learns to prac

THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION.
So far the investigation of tie legisatlive
committee engaged in the inquiry into the
abuses in the Trensuirers owe'e. has been di
reetel to but one end. and that is the ascertain
mr'nt of the truth of the allgartions of favorit
ism in the payment of warrants. The testimo
ny upon this point is conclusive, and ei'tabuishes
the truth of everything that has been charged
in this respect, and which has been the source
of so much just accusal tion and complaint.
The most important testinmeny so far Is that
of Dumas, tax collni'tor of the Third District
inter Kctlogg, given on Fi May last, which
throws a good deal of light on the me'bods
that prevailed under that corrupt administra
tion. and it is quite conclusive that. In those hal
cyon days the kissing went by favor, and was
limsited to a very exclusive coterie of choirole and
solit. friends. Dumas was appointed tax 'ol
let'tor of the Third Dis'rict in .January. 197r,
and removed in December following. His re
moval, ill says. was mails by Kettocg, avowedly
hoilnuli the office "bol-nged to the Monatllr
(M stel') and lierresentative (Jourhain) from
that district "of whom Ke'logg vo'unteered the
assertion that he know them to be "thieves and
scoundrels." and yet whose behests he was corn
pelhed to obey.
Dumnas testifies that during has incumbency
of offica he had paid to these men, Masicot and
Jonr 'aln, upwards of $10,000. the payments

Mr. John Klein, broker, another witness. was
al-o one of the unfortunetas who had to
languish " in froit of the railing" and could not
win the open sesame to the eacred mysteriie of
that "hack room" of the Treasurer's. He hadi a
large number of warrants which he had duly

which he never got cashed, though he knew of

anti Opnlousits i'i"'urer have most thoroughly
discussed this subinet, have had. eaih of them, a
long series of articles favio ing the plan and
ltovi valiantly combated all opposition to it.

The Union Ruierd, Sparta dareal Times. Alex

The Carroll (Nuiserralire. ('lalthorne Guardian
and Attakapas Iuetisier have likiwise exprirssed
their disapprobation of a convention, although
they have not taken up arms against it as
earnestly as the others. Th" oippsition of all
these papers, however, is nit entirely against
either the convention or a "hitrge In thu consti.
tution. All of thett agree that. our pros iit ion
stitution needs revision, but some think that
this reeslon can be done by the Legislature'
others by a commission appointed by the LTgis

simply on the ground that it is premature. and
declare their wit lingness to ai''opt and indorse
