What Needed to bo Doue and What Was Done. Continuing our exposition of the net results of the last Democratic victory in Indiana, in which we have already shown "what needed to be done"- tipon the ac-cemwrof-the Democracy lo-power,. and "what was done" in tbe Wab^h and £rie Canal case, we will consider: 2nd. The Sinking Fund

money:

'For some time

past the State has been getting in the Sinking Fund loans with the purpose of winding up the affair, and putting the money into the School Fund, where the law preating Wye former lund, directed itjfd: sro.| Wfietfljthe \4 about jfeOO^OO fc#*lfese paid and was held by the State Auditor, as Controller of the Sinking Fund, at the disposal of the Legislature. By the 1st of January next, when the lime limited by law for payment of the Toans"Spires, there will be about $700,000 in his hands. Every member of the Legislature knewf that this money belonged to the schools, and that some provision had-to be- made for its investment so that it could be effectively applied to its object. Two bills were introduced for the disposal-of it, one distributing it to the different counties in proportion to their population of pupil*, to.be lent by the cpunty, officers, at eight per cent, on landed security the other, devised byvGov. Bak&r, retaining it# in the Auditor's hands to be lent by hjm4P citizens of the diflerent counties proportion to school population, but directing him 10 lend to anybody if, after, a certain time, the citizens of any of the ccoJitSfci had failed to borrow their proportion, and, after a certain additional time, if there remained any portion still unborrowed, to invest it in government securities, holding him responsible upon his bond for the income if he failed to thus invest it. The Governor's bill would have kept the money together, under a single and uniform management, where it was always subject to the examination of the State officers aid the Legislature- ind have followed strictly the system by which, in thirty years, the SinkingCFurtd BpJ'felit^lOimraH'OTer the State and^-tww lost a cent.. She otfi^r bill would have scattered the money into ninety-two lit tla funds, tb berBfttaged by ninetyt.y_o sets of local notions, partisan preferences, and indiyidnal ignorance or indifference. It Would'ail hive bien lost, the mtoriey thus distributed in 1868 was lost. That pays nothing to the

Schools. ,Nei tlyer wouid

this. The Democracy adopted the latter measure, of course. Being the worst and most hazardous, that was inevitable. It became the Jaw. That law has now been decided invalid and the Auditor enjoined from sending the money to the counties. This leaves the monfey in the Auditor's hands undisposed of, and he may do with it what he wifl", so long as he tiirns it over to his successor intact. For two years he will have $500,000, and after next January he will have $700,000,"to lertd, the proceeds of which he may put in his pocketr^It wiirpfcy:fcrm at least $40,000 in the first.year .(.this year) and more than $50,000 next year. He will thus make, by Democratic management, over $90,000, which ought to go to the •choois. It would give schooling to 3,000 children fdr a year. Will the people of Indiana just think of thb calmly for a moment. The Democratic majority of the Legislature have leftlhfir AaditojMo put into his private pocket enough school money in two-years to educate three thousand children one year. The Republicans tried to prevent such flagrant outrages as this by enacting the "Enl'bezzWmebt lair," which compelled every State officer to take nothing but his fixed salary, and to account for every cent of fees and^fnfeome outside of it, But, the Democratic Supreme Court' set this' law aside, as everybody knows, and now the stealings o^n be carried on as safely and more extensively than ever. This is the setohd point «f failure of the Democracy, who obtained power by pledges of "economy and reform." It is a pretty serious failure, too, but the party will profit by it, for the State Auditor will, of course,, give liberally to the electioneering expense? of 1872. 3d. In 1865 the 'Republicans provided for the gradual extinction of the State debt by a tax of Ten cento on the hudred dollars. Last summer that- debt was all paid off, except a small amount^. ,for which the money was provided, and notice given that |Ayment otintgreat should be stopped after the 1st of September of that year, (1870.) There was •no farther oeeof the tett-oente-taxfbofraa no Legislature could tueetfto abrogate it till 1871, the tax would accrue and be paid necessarily for 1870. It would become due in April of 1871. The Legislature knew this. The majority had, these* fore, to provide for the disposition of this accruing tax. They knew the Treasurer would have it before the 1st of May- of this year, and knew that if they didn't make some disposition of it, lie could use it for his private profit, just as the Auditor would use his $700,000 of school money.

We say they knew this. Every body with the least acquaintance with State affairs knew it. It was their sworn duty to provide for aome useful appropriation of ihat money. They did nothing mth it at alL They never noticed it, yet they passed a bill abrogating^ the tax, whioh mbst have reminded tMeift of the necessity of appropriating the income of it for 1870, which was then partly, and, by the 1st of May would be wholly, in the ^Treasurer's hands. Th$y ,«aid wooing „»bout it in that billlor any other..ItjffQUId have been just as arpass an additional section appropriating it, as it was to repeal the tax, but they did not it.

Now the Treasurer, has the entire proceeds of tbe ta* to nse for*his o%& private ^profit.Ten cents upon a total appraisemient *an the State of $662,000,000 yields $662,aQOO. Allowing for delinquencies, it will

give the Treasurer at lea6t $500,000. This will pay him fully $40,000 a year for (wo years. He will pocket $80,000 which belongs to the people, and which, unde? the Republican Embezzlement law-, nnl* lifie'd by a Democratic Supreme Court, ffiey~ would have got, and saved tbSt atnount in taxes. It his half million had been appropriated to the regular expenses of the State, it would have paid tKern all for this year and saved every cent of Slate tar. This is a fact. There is no •longer a State debt to pay—the Republicans have wiped that out—and all other ej^pfenses amount only to $40,00(^9^ this j|ag wliiclv the money fat 'f^ea^Jrer's lisn&s would uirire than coVeri But instead of paying the State's expenses with •it, they have, left it for their Treasurer to speculate with for bis'own benefit. Splendid "economy," beneficent "reform," isn't It?

FROM lhe returns received at Cincinnati yesterday morning, the "Commer cial" is satisfied that "the Democratic majority on the State ticket in Kerituckv will not exceed twenty thousand, though thousands of negro voters were, under various pretexts and bv unscrupulous devices, excluded from the polls. The able and mapjy canvass made by General HABLAir was very effective. The Ifcte-publican-party in the State has been consolidated, and the gains of the Republicans are so large that they wili regaid themselves substantially victorious. Another gfich campaign will end the supremacy of the Confederate Democracy in the State."

The Cincinnati "Gazette" co'n6lndei its notice of tbe same event thus: The Republican party of Kentucky has done splendidly this year. It has for the first tin.e' measured its strength with the dominant party of tbe State. It has found, to its own great-surprise, that Kentucky is not so hopelessly beyond redemption as had been feared. The task of bringing it into harmonious relations' with the.general government will be an easier one thin was expected. The Ken tucky resolutions will Be forgotten if the work that has been done this year is repeated'next.*' It'only needs that General Harltfti and some of the live progressive young men ofthe.State shotiJdtake hold once more W lift the common wealth from the ruts. We hope to call General Harlan GotfernoV yet. Of toiirse there were riots. True Kentucky Democrats can hardly hold an election without resorting to bullets. Paris, Lexingtori, and Frant-, fort were scenes of bloodshed.

Gfi^TiiEMKN. who .propose canvassjpg any portion of the State, in the interest of the Republican party, next year, will do well to preserve, for reference, the series of articles on Slate affairs, "What was to be done, and what was done," now being published in the

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD, Herald correspondent writing

from Paris says, the Prussian occupation of Paris is every day rendering the situation more unpleasant. Strife and bloodshed between the German and French people frequent, and the murders of Prussian private soldiers which have taken place, render the Prussian soldiers more harsh and embittered.

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. The Tribnne charges the Brooklyn City officials with bribery and corruption in the matter of letting contracts for paving streets, alleging specifically the purchase on one contract by Bonesteel, and payment by him of $150,000 to Wm. C. Kingsbury, who, though not aiv_ officeholder, is said to be influential with the commission which let the contract. This, the district attorney was made officially aware of by the testimony of Bonesteel before the Grand Jury, but apprehension of his own complicity prevented exposure of it. Property holders -on the line of Clinton street are assessed two hundred and thirty-seven and a half square yards in excess of price paid by the city for pavement, and that excess was dishonestly appropriated by the ring. The District Attorney is further eensured because of his efforts to prevent citizens going before the Grand Jury for the purpose of presenting as a nuisance the asphalt pavement on Henry street. A contractor, W. H. Adams, is mentioned as a witness to an attempt to increase an accepted bid for work, and dividing the swindle, $7,000, with tbe Commissioners, who upon refusal of Adams to join the fraud, rejected his securities. In the mat ter of the East River expenditures, more than half the appropriation,eight million of dollars, is already gone, though the work is scarcely more than begun.
