The Legislature would doi; a wise and merciful act if it were to. pass a Jaw .regulating the matter ; of school books ; in the public schools , of the State. We have often felt that it would , be a genuine act of 'benevo-T lence if the teachers of male i and female schools, high and low, elassi cal or otherwise throughout the State reason under heaven why there that he has achieved, a reputation which en would hold a meeting and decide should: have - been any incVeasel : Of J?,?li,nJ0 ?e "fF 4T and pe- - - r . -. , cuha, attitude which he has taken; and upon a scheme of studies and the cqurse, we ail understand . that it is we should like him to tell us what better books to be nsed. A father who has to educate a large family j will have to spend a small fortune j.fer books alone. It is well known that; every the net ordinary expenses of the teacher has his favorite authors, and United States government : were the consequence is every time a new $153,000,000. Mr. Wells states that teacher is employed, or a new: school. General Garfield stated in that year is attended, a complete set of new that -the expenses would be reduced, books-must be purchased. ' This by 1876 to $125,000,000. Butrwhat causes a heavy harden-to fall upon I many parents ho are not really able to sustain it. - The constant changing of books is an embargo on education' I to some extent. t ! ,; J I We notice that a .bill was: intro- duced in the Pennsylvania Legisla-' J ture to prevent the freqdent changes I of text books in the public schools of 'i that State.

There is , really no necnlation and cheating and extr&va. gance that have done the work. T ; Why only, consider that in 18Y2- are the facts? Has the prophecy been fulfilled ? In 1875 the uet ordinary expenses were $171,000,000, or $18,-1 000,000 more than they were in 1872. That is ' reducing with a vengeance. The Democrats got a majority in the House of Representatives last year, and Uiey reduced the expenses to $158,000,000, in spite of a Radical Senate that was disposed to throw many; obstructions in the way of-re- form and retrenchment . Mr. ' Wells says of the indebted edness of: the States: "Great, however.as has been the increase ? ! in Federal expenditures, the increase of our State and municipal expenditures has beeaicomparatively : greater, .The aggre gate of Bute debts was reported in 1875 at $328,000,000, of which $164,000,000 baa de faulted. The present aggregate Of munici nal indebtedness is in excess of $800,000. 000. i The aregate taxation of the Uni ted Stales has increased ;irom less man fa er head in 1861 to more than $13 In 1876. here has been paid out in taxes Federal, State and municrpal-by the people Of the United States, from 1805 to 1876, the as- toubdiiuxsum of at least $6,000,000,000. j-m . a - m -a a - . , uertainiv oi au near ana expensive wags s .w: -.k; w .ml tw for, 'government has become'tbe dearest .7. , ? , , . . ;.One of the chief leaksin, our gov v -' IV ernment is tne rascality praewceu uy srr""? - w..v- customs , $175,000,000.

As the case stood. the President, the Vice President and the benate, commanding the Army and xiavy, were a unit for counting in Mr. Hayes, through the agency of Mr. Ferry. The House which expires on the 4tb of March, would have been powerless, and it was plain to the meanest understanding that the game warlost by the method before ns when the Electoral bill was matsred and passed. This is welt done,' and puts the matter .in a nutshell. It was the Commission or Hayes. Such the American people and the American press believed. We have reason , to think that some of the North ' Caro lina delegation would not have sup ported the bill had it not been, un derstood that such a course was in accordance with the wishes of the people. The State press clamored for the bill. As far as we remember there was very remarkable unanimi ty, and the representatives '.in Con gress endeavored to reflect the senti ments and wishes of the party, at home. A prominent lawyer writes us: - "Had it not been that our State press so unanimously represented that our people wished the bill to pass, perhaps some of onr delegation would hot have supported it; but it was proper that our delegation should on such. a grave question fairly rep resent the will of , their constituents. This they did in voting for the bill. It is to be honed that the press will now frown down any purpose of crimination on the part of those who are ever quick to say 'I told yoa so.' If an error has been made: about which I express no opinion, it has been' made oy the Democratic party at large--and as far as North Carolina is concerned, It has been. made by the people, speaking 1 through the press at whose ? instance, our 'i t . - 1 3 m t m n aeiegauon cast a buuu vuic iut iue uuu . ... ' The Stab advocated the passage of the Bill. It stated at the time fully its reasons for so doing. We stand by what we then, advocated.. We did what we' considered right and proper, with alt 'the lights "before-i We urged our, representatives to vote' for the Bill, believing it best for the country and the South. : If we should be sadly . disappointed in our hopes, and men wearing the robes ot justice ahoold draggle; them in the besmirch thejr cannot even then presentatives in J .u. tw- I Cono-res.4 and denounce them.
