DR. FRANCIS LIEBER, author of Polit ieal Ethics and other valuable books has, -under instructions from the Union League of New York, reported on the use of public funds in that city for sectarian ed ucation. In a single year over $500,000 have been taken from the school fund of that city for the use of religious sects and of this sum a single sect has received over 9400,000. The same sect has received from the city as a gift real estate to the value of $3,250,000. Is this according to the American system? Are Church and Btateto be united in New York and through the whole country as fast as a single sect shall obtain the balance of power between the parties?

NEARLY five years have passed since our Civil War ended yet, remarks the Tribune,

Army officers drawing pay from the Treasury, but doing nothing whatever to earn It. It is not their fault that they do not earn their wages it is our good fortune that we have no present need of their services, and we are entitled to profit by It. The boys who, for $16 per month* carried muskets through blood and fire till the rebellion was crushed, were then paid off and sent home, as was right their mustering-out bounty of $50 to $100 each was all the extra they received. The officers, who, since LEE'S surrender, have mainly done nothing and been well paid for it, should now be paid off and mustered out as the rank and file were. They should not ask to be paid longer for doing nothing, and if they did ask, they should {not be gratified. We are bound to be just we cannot afford to be bounteous, much less prodigal. If we are ever to pay our great debt, we must be rigidly, sternly, systematically frugal

in mind that the convention which meets in this city next Saturday—the call for which will be found in another column— is a mass—not a'delegate—convention. In such a body every member of the party Is the peer of any other member all have equal responsibilities and equal rights. No Republican can consistently neglect to attend, and it is the duty of all who cherish the great principles of the party, all who believe that the maintenance of those principles is essential to the prosperity and happiness of the country, to attend a convention which must, inevitably, have a very great influence in shaping the circumstances that will control the State canvass upon which we are soon to enter. With a single exception there is no county in the State whose influence in State politics is more potent than that of Vigo. Whether that influence shall be wisely and properly directed depends, to a great extent, upon the result of the convention of Saturday next.

The Political Oatlook

INNTHTSWLINII'DEBOMT.

Within' thefist yeartnany influential and able Bepfiblicans iia'ra uken position openly &cainst certain things which have been done by the party, by Congress or Stiile governments control of the partyf Their protests have been joyfully caught up by Democrats as proof that the Bepublican party is going to pieces, and in many cases manly declarations by Republicans have been gratuitously circulated by Democrats as evidences of the short-comings of the party in power. On the other hand, men who have Republicanism as a cloak for selfish schemes have bitterly denounced the protestants, and shallow-brained persons, who worship a party as the Stupid Hindoo worships his little brass god, with a blind ana slavish submission, have made haste to bark at the heels of every

peril of extinction. The catch in 1868 showed a great falling off in quantity compared with previous years, but that of 1869 has proved smaller still. This decrease is attributed to the use of pound or trap nets, which are employed to drive the fish into pens, from whence they are taken as required. Others say that fish are changing their haunts. It is suggested that artificial breeding be resorted to for replenishing the supply.

Republican who has been conscientious enough to dissent from any measure of Congress or of the majority of the party. Thus the Democrats subscribe for 150,000 copies of Mr. Daw®'speech Col.Fprney read him out of the party, and party hacks of the lower order think him very much to blame for his conduct.

During ttfe eight years from November, 1860, until November, 1868, the Republican party, burdened with a heavier responsibility than any other party has ever borne, had a tasfc to perform which required all its energies. To that task, the party devoted itself with that concentration of effort and singleness of purpose Which are needed to accomplish great results. The party and the loyal people who were behind it harbored but one thought—to crush the rebellion and extirpate its causts* Every moment in that direction was watched with close_scrutiny and intense interest. Meanwhile, men who cared more forjtheir private advantage than for the public welfare were pushing through Congress bills for their personal benefit—railroad grants, tariff monopolies, wasteful appropriations. The body «f the Republican party, and of the 1 *3 AM 4I\ 4

people, paid no attention to these things, Extraviagance of expenditure was forgotten Indian frauds continued from the thieving days of Democracy, were forgotten all other matters were overlooked in the intensity of interest in the great work at hand. So after the war, when the question of reconstruction came up for settlement and engrossed public attention, little thought was given by the Republican leaders or by the people to the legislation on other subjects. I any voice was raised in question, the peo pie answered, "We will pull up the roots of the rebellion first:

afterwards we will

attend to these other matters!" Before the Presidential election, the Democrats tried to fix attention upon financial ques tions, but the people very properly re fused to consider these until the main question had been settled beyond the possibility of change. Encouraged by this seeming indifference to their per formances, schemers became more bold, and calculated upon the support of the Republican party in their doings. They forgot that the" people said, "Afterwards we will attend to these things." Afterwards is now. Reconstruction, negro suffrage, all war questions are practically settled. Now the people begin to ask how the government has been administered in other respects- To the Republican party, for its glorious course during the rebellion and since, they render all honor, but they now demand, and have a right to demand, that the government shall in other respects be wisely and economically administered. All the past services of the Republican party will not avail, if it shall not prove itself able and willing to govern the country wisely as well as to save it from treason. To save it was infinitely important, and those who accomplished that work will ever fee re membered with gratitude. But the Nation now demands services of another character legislation for the future prosperity of the country.

Certain able Republican leaders, who fully realize that the time has come for the party to show what it means to do on these questions, have thrown themselves heart and soul into the work for putting it on the right track. To do so, tbey are obliged to say that many things have been done which should now be done no long' er. Extravagant expenditures, once excusable, will no longer be tolerated by the people since the war is over. Members of Congress must learn that this country cannot afford to build a national post office and court house for each one of them in the different towns in his district or to establish navy yards on every mud bank, or to build railroads to every man's farm, or to pay men for every sort of wasteful investment of money or labor. Whether what has been done was expedient or not, the people will not ask. They balanced accounts with the Republican party on the first Monday in November, and gave a receipt in full of all demands up to date, by declaring the party still

up worthy of confidence and power. If any errors had been committed, the people considered them more than balanced by the services of the party. But what shall entitle the party to future support? Only fidelity to the future needs of the country I Republicanism cannot live in the past exclusively. It cannot live on reconstruction or justice to the negro any longer. Those, questions are settled, and the party must henceforth deserve power by promoting the prosperity of the people. Leaders who see this begin, therefore, to oint out measures of reform which must adopted. The President himself set the example in his inaugural address,and he aud his cabinet have since so admintered the government that there is a surplus from present taxation of over $100,000,000 yearly, Well done, so far? The Postmaster General proposes an abolition ofthe franking privilege, and the House votes it well done, again! Then Mr. Wells' proposes a revision of the tariff and a reduction of- the taxes, and Mr. Dawes declares that Congress must stop wasteful appropriations for local or partizan ends, and at once there is a howl that Mr. Wells has been bought, and that Mr. Dawes has gone over to the Democrats, and the members of that defunct party become very happy!

Do not flatter yourselves, gentlemen! Mr. Wells and Mr. Dawes know what they are about. They mean to put the Republican party on the right road to victory in the future, and it is a most gratifying sign that in a house elected on quite different issues, the attempt of monopolies to prevent the printing of Mr. Wells' report was defeated, and the League Island scheme, which Mr. Dawes assailed, was voted under the table. In the same house, moreover, railroad schemes get no favor, Indian treaties are denounced almost unanimously* and the franking privilege is declared a useless burden. Good for the House!

We think the signs are very fair that those who seek to bring the Republican party to an understanding of its duties will prevail. Men like General Butler and Colonel Forney may indeed denounce Mr. Dawes, who was a Republican, staunch and true, when they were known only as Democrats of the most unscrupulous sort. Men who have been elected to Congress not by the people, but by some monopoly, may denounee Mr. Wells who represents to-d^y more nearly than any other man, the will and opinion

A MURDERER IKTERYIEWEI*.

How McFarland Views the Situation— Efforts to Set Aside tlie Indiana Divorce.

From the New YorkStar.l

Mr. McFarland, now confined in the Tombs awaiting his trial for the murder of A. I). Richardson, has instituted proceedings in the Indiana Courts to Bet aside the decree of divorce granted his wife. His grounds for the application are that it was fraudulently obtained, aud that through the chicanery of her lawyers he was prevented from ascertaining the court in which she had sued for the separation, and thus prevented from taking measures to resist her- applicaton.

His appearance gives no indication that his confinement has yet materially damaged his health. We found him in excellent spirits, and in a good conversational mood, disposed to be chatty on any subject of general interest but that particular one which it was our especial wish that he would unbosom* himself, namely, his own case. On this point he is entirely non-committal, so far as any thing connected with the legal points of the case. The following digest of our conversation with him explains his posi tion:

Reporter—Mr. McFarland, I called to see you in relation to a statement published a few days ago in an Indianapolis paper, which alludes to proceedings said to have been instituted by you for setting aside the divore procured by your wife, on the ground that it was fraudulently and surreptitiously obtained. Is tfiat statement correct?

McFarland—You must not believe any thing you see in the papers about my case. I will not affirm or deny any state ment published about my ease.

Reporter—Well, sir, of course it is not my wish that you should communicate any information the publication of which would be prejudicial to your interests, But you know the anxiety of the public for reliable news in such cases, ana how ever unpleasant to the reporters the task of obtaining it is sometimes, their feelings must be sacrrficed to their sense of duty.

McFarland—I have no fau&at all find with the reporters they have all treated me with great consideration.

The conversation then assumed a gen eral character, much of it, however, per tinent to the case, such as ministeral responsibility, free-loveism, &c. He was very severe on the minis ters, asserting, in the strongest terms that they had willfully falsified facts his case. On the free-love question took a philosophic view, and in a very terse way disposed of that doctrine. "This talk about affinity," said he, "is the sheerest humbug. We are not chemi cal. Is it not a little strange that an 'affinity' that holds good for ten or twelve years suddenly loses its power. The truth is, any man that possesses the re quisite materials—wealth and station— if he sets about it can easily develop this affinity with any proud ambitious .woman that he sets his eye on." The reporter being inexperienced did not feel justified in denying this assertion, and then the matter dropped, and we bid Mr. McFar land adieu, receiving a kind invitation to call again.

DEATH IN THE WILDERNESS.

A Hunting .Party Stricken Down by Diphtheria in the Woods—Only One Han Left Alive.

The Boston Post has the following from Bangor, Me.: The particulars of a shock ing case of suffering and death are report ed here by one of the survivors of a hunt ing .and fishing party, consisting of fiv iuaividuals (French Canadians), who were stricken down by disease and per ished in their camp on the Canada side not many miles from the American bor der. A party of five persons, of which lie was one, set out with two horses and pung, about Christmas, upon a huntin^ and fishing expedition in the wilderness near the American line. The party wer well equipped with guns, traps, fishing tackle and provisions, intending to spend a month or two in that uninhabited gion. Returning to camp one evening, one of the men complained of a sore throat. Not much was thought of it by the rest of the party till toward the mid die of the night the man gave evidence of extreme suffering, his throat being swollen. JBte had been attacked by that most loathsome and fatal disease, diphtheria, Without medicine of any description, and nearly fifty miles from any human habitation, before night set in the man was a corpse. Before the first victim ex pired, however, another of the party began to complain of the same difficulty, and on the second day died of strangulation, or from the filling up of the throat The three survivors took the two bodies out ofthe camp, and covered them over with snow, for the purpose of preserving them till they could carry them out ofthe forest. Determined to break up camp the next day and return with their dead comrades, they were doomed to disappoint ment, in consequence of two of the remain ing three being prostrated by the same terrible agent. The last two survived about forty-eight hours, when they, in turn, were carried out by the only one remaining, to be buried in the snow. The sole survivor resolved to start for the abode of civilization with his freight of pulseless humanity. During the night the deadly contagion fastened upon himself. In his own words, he "felt the monster at lus throat," and resigned himself as well as he could to his fate. He lay, as he thinks, some four or five days before he awoke to a consciousness of his fearful situation. The mildnessiof the weather and a good supply of blankets and boughs saved him from freezing, in the absence of a fire, which he was too weak to kindle. As soon as he could crawl he went to the hovel, and, to his amazement and grief, found both of the horses dead. They had died of starvation. Returning to his camp, he thought he would take a look at his dead companions. Judge of his horror, when he found their bodies nearly eaten up by the ,wolves and Other wild beasts that inhabit that wild and desolate region. Nothing now was left for him to do but to make his way, alone, out of the forest. With a pair of snow-shoes upon his feet, and as much provision as his weak and feeble frame could bear, he started forth, and on the third day reached an Indian camp, where lie rested till he was able to proceed on hi9 journey. He gave his name

Le Roix or Le Broix,

and stated that he was born near the River de Loupe.

Last evening about five b' citeing scene

was witnessed

neir the

entrance to the harbor. A father

hadpf-

ten forbidden his boy, about nine years of age, from going upon the docjcj fearful that the little one would by accident be drowned. Last evening upon returning home he found that the boy had-disobeys ed his order, and was plaiying with other children near the river's edge. The father hastened to the spot, ana somewhat excited, grasped the boy by the shoulder anddispite his cries, tied the eral .of a rope about his waist and soused hiin in the cold water. As he was drawing the boy up the rope was loosened, and the little fellow, still struggling to get the water from his mouth, fell back and sank. The excitcmentof the father was now most earnest. He fairly yelled in agoney, and would have jumped into the river himself, had not bystanders anticipated his intentions and prevented. The boy came to the surface once and sank again, came up and was about to sink for the last time when a brave sailof jumped from the dock and caught him by the hair. When the boy was taken out he was to all appearances lifeless, but the father clasped the inanimate form in his arms, hugged it close to his breast and kissed the wet lips over and over again, while the tears fairly flowed in streams down the man's cheeks, and his sobs could be heard by all. Carrying the boy, and bestowing endearing caresses as he went along to the nearest house, the Kttle fellow was soon brought to his senses,, and the delight of the parent knew no bounds. He kissed and embraced-the boy and the sailor and the physician over and over again, and when the boy was able to walk, still carried him in nis arms to his home, alternately crying and laughing, so great was his joy. The father received a lesson in the way of punishing his children that he will never forget, and the boy will no doubt mind the advice given him by those in authority.

THE art of making selections' for a daily paper i3 one of the most difficult to acquire, and one for which the journalist gets less credit perhaps than for any other sort of work. To sink his individual tastes and to provide for the multitude so as to satisfy a majority is very hard, and it is not to be wondered at that so many fell short of success. But the news editor who daily searches tlirough his pile of exchanges for a bit of poetry is especially to be sympathized with, for he labors under peculiar restraints.

understands his business he will aim to give a fair, variety from day to day. At one time he Will offer something humorous, at another something pathetic, at this, something in a religious vein, at that, some vivid word-painting or some simple ballad. In the hurry of work he has no time to hunt up extracts from volumes of poems or to draw upon well filled scrap books, if perchance he have any. He has to depend upon his exchanges, and woe be unto him if he does. In an ordinary pile of papers of nearly uniform date, there can be found two kinds of poetrv, verse or doggerell, whatever you choose to call it. The first is original,and the editor knowing it to be the sheerest balderish passes it by as if'it were poison. Once in a rare while something good can be found, but a man who wades through the chaff to find the wheat, will end his days in a lunatic asylum. What the other kind is depends upon circumstances. It is a generally accepted law now that all things move in circles things exist periodically they disappear for a time but by and by return again.— The same periodicity applies to newspaper poetry. At one time it is of the rolicking, humorouB sort with a touch of sarcasm, at another it is of the high and lofty kind, again it breathes the spirit of religion, and now it is of the descriptive order. It continually changes. "From grave to gay, from lively to serene."

Whatever the style may be, all the papers have it, and the poor man hunting for a variety is at his wits end where to find something different, after he has treated his readers to the prevalent kind for a week or ten days. Just now the style is what may be called the "wailing" one. It calls for the shedding of tears. It deals entirely with sadness and woe. The want of charity, especially to fallen women, is. its great theme. It bewails the loss of purity, and in heartrending accents beseeches the reader apd God to have pity, pity. It alludes touchingly yet hopefullyto that last day when mercy denied on earth will be found in heaven, and when the sins of poor humanity will W swallowed up in forgiveness. It slops over in various other ways. Everybody knows what it is. The "Beautiful Snow" is a fair specimen, and the piece entitled "Charity," which we published the other day, is a still better one. The poetry is good, but there is too much of it at one time. If a littlesunshine and a few flowers could only be thrown in it would gladden the heart of the editor, and doubtles gratify his reader. They know that the world is a pretty good one after all, and even if it is not, they have to make the best of it, and do not care about having disagreeable facts thrown into their teeth all the time. The wailing season has lasted much too long this winter. The mild character of the weather will not admit of such a prolongation, and we insist upon the poetical machine grinding the other way for a while. The spring is sufficiently near for birds and green leaves, and johnny-jumpups and dandelions to be sung about, and if the poets do not improve the opportunity and abandon the Worn out rut, srur readers will lipve to be content with prose for a season.—Ind.

since a poor but talented

gentleman of the medical profession conceived the idea that if he could produce a medicine of universal application and extraordinary merit, and makfe it known he could not only enrich himself and escape the drudgery of a Physicians life, but also benefit the sick in a greater measure than by his private practice. He therefore consulted with the best Physi cians he could find and the result was the production of the Judson's Mountain Herb Pills, a famous and most successful med icine. He began in a -small way to make the Mountain Herb Pills known by advertising them and such was the value of his Pills, that in a few years he had not only amassed a fortnnp, but had that rare satisfaction for a rich man, of having relieved the sick, and benefitted his fellow-men in every part of the country, as thousands of grateful testimonials could prove.
