GRAHAM, N- C., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 1876
BDUCATIO>,
How the Radical* Rolibrd Ibr Mchosl

[Front (he Wilmington Journal, 1873.] .
s 111 no respect possibly have the Had-,
.. icals shown more plainly their wan
ton. wilful disregard of the best iu*j
* lerests of the people than thoj- have
, hi the matter of education. .It is
} cleai Jv one of the first duties of n
State, if it would be prosperous and
, happy, to educate its children. No
g political party, therefore, lia vin»" cons'
B trol ot the Goveruiucn r to such an ex
s en t as to shape its action, can be held
blameless if the children of the State,
especially and particularly the poor
children of the State, do not have
placed within their reach facilities for
acquiring at least those ordinary
branches of education that a citizen
' must possess to enable him to frans-,
act the every-day business affairs of
life.
Let us apply this test t.o the Uadi
| cal party since it came into power in
April, 1808. From that time until Ist
of October, the beginning of ttie next j
fiscal year, there wits not a dollar
spent for teaching unless SO9 paid to
Ashley for services of clerk can be so
considered.
During,the fiscal year, beginning
on the Ist ot October, 1808, there was
spent out ot the E lucational Fund,
$167,158,18. Not one dollar of this
large amount was spent in teaching
the poor children of North Carolina
to read or write. Instead of that the '
Radical Segislaturcs took $158,000 of
that amount and paid it in 1 art to
themselves under the nauie ot per I
diem at the rate ofsevei dollars adav. 1
Fur this ami other purposes, equally
opposed to the advancement of the
cause of education, we say, the RadK
cal Legislature used $158,000. Three
the usand dollars of toe money Was
"loaned" to t lie University to pay the
salaries of Professors such as Ashley's 6
broth»r-in»Uw, Professor Marl ling,
so-called; Settle's cousin, Professor
.Patrick, tho Banjo Player; John Pool's \
brother, President Sol, Pool; and
Dickson the Professor of Agriculture,
"ho in, making contracts for clearing |
the College lands, it is said, specially
reserved to the Coi/ege, cut all of the '
hickory and tall gum trees because
'•they Would sp!it so easy and make
such elegan' rails," and Dickson >vas >'
about the best man in the lot!
The balance of the : mount $6,158,- a
18, is put down to what is called the
"expense account." Jn this account (]
we find that one J. W. Hood, a negro
preacher, was paid $925 as a salary as
Agent of the Board of Education. lie '■
made a report declaring that the
whites had burned the echo Nhouses
ofthc blacks and were interfering
wit'i their education. This report is a
part of the work that this negrc
preacher Hood was paid $1)25 lor in '
the yea.i 1868. j
Not a dollar of this large sum or ,
$107,158,18 wai spent in teaching *
children to read or write. We get
these figures from the Radical Audi
tor's official report.
During the Fiscal year beginning (
Ist October, 1809, there was spent out
of the Educational Fund the sum of
$203,411, 01, which vas expended as
follows.*

The investment in Stale bond*, has
ot course, proved an entire loss as
have ttic amounts paid to Jlood and
loaned to the University. Indeed, il
js thought Pioiessor Dickson will get
his gum fails before the Educational
Fund will get ha/'k its SIO,OOO. -
'lf ot one-lifth of the whole amount
expended was ap'plied to Common
schools! Out ot over two hundred
thousand dollars expended, less than
thirty-nine thousand was paid to teach*
er«.
Let us look into this mailer a Utile
further. $150,000 was invested iu
Special Tax State Bonds. These bonds
are worthless, but, I lie money with
wliicti they were bought was gooF
money. $148,00 of it came from the
sale of 4,000 shares of slock iu the
Wilmington & WeWLon Itailroad Com
pany. The jntr value of this stock
was $400,000, and according to the
terms of the late lease of that road
the parties who bought those 4,000
shares will receive year, $28,000!
Had tikis stock l>eeti held, Hie Educa
tional Fund wonld now recoivc a
yearly income ot $28,000 instead of
holding worthies cov/xtm of worth*
less Special Tax Bonds!
During the Fiscal year, beginning
on Ist October, 1870, the Cousjrva
tives were parlialy in power, and
daring that time $177,497,96 was
spent ont of the Educational Fnul,
Of this amount the Itadlcal Auditor's

I From tno New York Evening Exprcw ]
GOVKRKOII Tir.DKN'B QUALITIES.
As tlie Times distinguished the Ex
press among its authorities on the
candidate, the Express must return
the compliment a" well as it can. The
New York Times said, September
18th, 1874:
"The New York Democratic Con
vention marie au end of its work ves*
tcrdav by nominating Mr. Tilden for
Govern>r. Mr. Tilden is a highly
respectable candidate, and 110 man in
the State who wishes to witness the
return of the Democratic party to
power need be ashamed to vote tor
him.'*
On the day a riot- Mr. Tilden was
elected Governor, November 4th,
1874, the New Jork Times said:
•'We doubtless see to-day the Dem s
ocratic Presidential candidate for
1870, aud if llie Republican partv i« j
n-t conducted .with greater wisdom
and go d lorttino during the next
two yeaia than it has been during the
last two, Mr. Tilden is the most pro
bable successor of General Grant."
And said the Times in 1871:
" Vbte for Samuel J. Tilden. The
voters of the Eighteenth Assembly
district ought to esteem it an honor
and a privclegc to elect. Samuel J.
Tilden to the I/egis.ature. He has
shown himself a gallant, conscientious,
efficient foo to corruption. We ap«
peal to every Republican to work and
vote for him, and do so the more
cheerfully—as we make this appeal
because be is an honest Democrat.
r Do not hurt the fselinea of others
by saying sharp, sarcastic things. It
ia better to •lu>|iense with t'.iat jnra-.
tionable reputation of being smart,
than merit one of cruelty. A |»er
son pushing his way through a crowd,
dealing blows right and left, thrusting
his sharp elbowa in the aides ol thia

that one, ia considerate and tender ia
comparison with one who treads ruth
lessly on the sacred feelinga of hia
