before the Republican convention, Prof. McRao has the reputation-of being one of the most thoroughgoing educators in tho West. Gen. James A. Garfield, a zallant Union soldier, was unanimously nominatcd for United States Senator by the Republicans of the' Ohio Legislature lat Tuesday. Gen. Garfield sncveeda Allen G. Thurman, tho ablest Democrat in the Senate. Gen. Garfield will reflect honor upon the grand old Buckeye State, which Mr. Thurman.has so long misrepresented. According to the law passed by the Spanish Cortez for tho abolition of Cuban slavery tho cursed institution h allowed ten years in which to drag out its damnable existence, Wc trust the law will not havo tho . effect of . ........ quieting the slaves. Insurrection should run riot in the. island; there should be no peace, no safety for the propert' and lives of the masters until the last vestigo of this curse of God and human kind ceases to exist. Voorhees ought to have Parnell and Dillon arrested at once and sent back to Ireland in chains. If they are permitted to make a tour of this country, and continue to receive such splendid novations as have thus far been tendered tLem, there is danger that they may give such a glowing account of our people, advantages and resources on their return to the Emerald Isle, that a very heavy emigration of the oppressed Irish people to our shores moy be the result. Dan ought to see o this at once. If he lets it" run on unchecked, first thing we know these people.will begin rto.. arrive ,by the shiploadj'and the 'country' "will be ruined. ' ' r The Chicago Tribune and a few local politicians are all "tore up" be cause Senator: Cameron did 'not'appome genueman ' jam es r. nooi on the sub-committee of arrangements for the National Convention. Now, wo doubt not, Gentleman Root is a very proper sort of man and .a good Republican withal; but for the life of us wo can not see why a residence in Chicago should give him a pre emplion rignt. 10 mis particular posiuon.. Wo suspect that Gentleman James has fallen into the error of supposing that the convention is to be a kind of a side-show, gotten up for the special benefit and edification ef the Garden City. Senator Cameron has grasped the situation, and his action shows that he regards the convention as tho property of tho Republicans of the United States, and that no special favors are to bo granted to any State or locality. The distribution of the tickets seems to be the bone of contention, and on this point the Inter-Ocean wisely says, "It was thought proper to give the National Covention entire control of tho hall and the seats; thatf being a National .Convention, the distribution, of tickets , should be a National affair." Exactly. The tick ets should be distributed to each State according to the number of delegates to which she is entitled. Of course, if Chicago comes down handsomely in the way of accommodations, and develops no Jnordinato propensity to crowd the mourners with a "boom," no one will object to giving her a few extras; and, eo far as we are individually concerned, Gentleman James may distribute them. The appointment of Hons. John C. New and exSenator Clayton, of Ark., and Postmaster Filley, of St. Louis, is entirely satisfactory to the Republicans throughout the country. It is a guarantee that Cincinnati will not be repeated at Chicago.

The Maine Villainy.

- Another chapter has been added to the cataloguo of Democratic infamy. Base and infamous as this Maine affair is, it is not the basest infamy of which the Democratic party has been irumy, lt) ls not me nrsi urae mat party has stolen a State and robbed the people of a Republican form of government.

Is Voorhees a DodoP We submit to a candid and impartial public the following momentous Huvpuuii, uuu reapecuuuy usk lur it, a calm and dispassionate decision by popular opinion. Tho question is this: Is the Hon. Daniel Webster Barnwell Sloto Voorhees. natriot. or. 4 ' r 7 . politician, lawyer, senator, s. of 1. (son of liberty), n. of g. c. (knight of golden circle), u. r. of r. a. (unconditional repealer of resumption act), i. of N. C. e. (investigator of North Carolina exodns), and so on for quantity a Dodo? We give this question to the public, and especially to tho Democratic party leaders in Indiana and the country at large, and earnestly beg that it may meet with the consideration which its importance demands. We frankly state that we desire to be understood as taking the affirmative side in the discussion. A colored boy eleven years old was kicked out of school tho other day in Clermont county, Ohio, by a brute by the name of Buntin, who "keeps" tho school. . It appears that tho boy made application for admission to tho school and was refused. Ho afterwards returned and claimed tho right to attend school, at which time he was subjected to thisbrutal treatment. A meeting of tho trustees was called to consider the matter. A resolution to dismiss Buntin if he refused to teach colored children, was rejected by a vote of 6 to 2. The father of the boy, has brought suit in the United States circuit court at Cincinnati for $20,000 damages,

and retained Judge .Blackburn and

other ablo counsel. It is time that Ohio had gotten over such beastly conduct as trying to de privo a boy of his right to an education simply because, by the accident ui uirin, ne is noi wnue. in oeaunful contrast with Ohio's conduct stamds tho policy of Indiana.

A few Democratic papers, precious few though, have had the decency to denounce tho outrage but nearly all of them, like the Sentinel, approve and applaud.

The .presentation ot three sets of books, one to the church and Sabbath school, one to the pastor, and one to the seller of the most tickets, drew a large audience. The books were paid for by subscription, and the church had the benefit of all the tickets sold. The prize for selling tickets was won by Mr. Bryant, who sold more than 200. Mr. Griggsby wa next, having sold 1S4, Mrs. Sandridgc following ciose with 168. The total amount of money cleared was over three hundred dollars. With great sorrow we chronicle the death ol Mr. MackCurd, previously mentioned in these columns s& mysteriously missing. This estimable young man was 28 years old, of excellent character, fine culture and great thrift He was working his way bravely through the University of Chicago, having the encouragement and assistance of both faculty and pnpilg. In color he was quite dark, and though there is but one other colored man in the Üniversity, he was never lacking for friends. In order to pay his way, he worked for the Inter-Ocean as carrier, and stood high in favor of his employers. Immediately after his disappearance the faculty and students of the University offered $125.00 reward for him dead or alive. This was increased to $175.00 by the Inter-Ocean Co.; but the days went by and the mystery remained

unsolved, despite the Beach made by hie

friends. Just ast we began to despair of finding hun, his remains were found in a slough that haa caused the death of two men before him. Carrying his papers in the darkness of early morning, a fatal misstep plunged him into this quagmire whence there was no escape, lhere is no telling what that poor man suffered nor how long he remained in the terrible slough before death came to his relief, lie leaves an aged mother and brother to grieve over their almost unbearable loss.
