Umilmrjj puritan. WILVERT. Editor. aUNBURY, NOVEMBER 19, 1S73. The Lying Cikcclab axd the Grand Jury Report. Previous to the late election the county was flooded with circulars by the Doiuicratic Kins, which pei ported to have been issued by the Tux payer's Relief Association. We tbeu de nounced the circular as a fabrication, cal culated to deceive the honest voter. The Kuthors of this document were anxious to be elected to office, and adopted the plan of exaeratiu and traducing officer who arc well known as houcst men, and who done their duty. But lyiu appeared ne cessary to fptin the object of the I reducers, and they relied upon a larpe display of figures to make the. case look plausible. In this two prominent individual figured coi.pkuoU8lv. While C. Holteiistein did the fibrin;;, Mr. D. S. Rietrlone the cer tifying and wearing to the correctness of the statements made. Their orjan. the Democrat, gave it circulation.ar.d we regret lo say. that many were woefully deceived. The first part of this circular contained a Btatriwnt of the unseated land sales which we copy, as follows : TOTAL AMOl'NT OF BAtXS In 1R73. 8 5.010 Tl In 1874, 17.U31J 1H-J22.047 C'J TOTAL PAID IN TREASURY In 1S73, S3.ca5 5t In is74, 8.1.-.G j:-Sll,781 o'J The itdvt-rtisiaii esH'nc were 50 leaving iu Treasury, 10.004 09 Ivlaking profits to the "aiiency" 0f iJii.:iM oo The Ikmomil nave "thai these ii-ures shall bo officiary verified we yiva the Mlrr ing: Thin cer'iiies that the above ti-uei are correct us taken by me from the bonks in t!io Ooiuniicsionrr'f oilice. but not apfM-ar-iti in th- auditors' ivpor.s in full f.r 1873 ami 1C74. as they nhould have appeared.

The. tax-payers would like to know." Insinuating by this that Messrs. Vastine and Durham had the amount stated, or that it was in some body' hands who did not appropriate it to the proper place. We emphatically denied the cluirga of: any irregularity in the laud sales and gave a plain statement of the matter. Several other statements were made of irregulari ties by the Republican Commissioners, which Mr. Reitz also certified to as being correct. To make their side still better, these same parties wanted to close the eyes of the jdiojiie further. aud got up a petition to the court and presented it about the time the Grand Jury was ready to adjourn, with the expectation it would not be notic ed by the court ami passed over. But Judire Il K-kef. li'er at once called together the jury and held them over another day. and instructed them to in wstigate the mat ter.

A QuetIou of Ihe Future. The election, beln-: over, we cannot be charged with political motive in referring, ouce mow, to a question, the men' ion of which durinu the canvass, was interpreted as being inspired by party aims. We notice all parts of the country the subject of the sanctity of mr Public School System is lieioir earnestly discussed, ami this from one common standpoint. The feding is not that the Republican party, is or should lie aggressively iuclir.ed toward the Catho lic, or any other Church, but to the policy which a certain branch of that Church has seen fit to adopt toward our Free School System, That policy is not de fensive, but agresnive in its character, and seeks, by an alliance with the Democratic party, to overthrow a system that has worked well for mauy years, a system that is devoid of all sectarianism, unobjectiou able to the various religious sects and creeds. benefficial alike to the Presbyterian, Methodist. Baptist, Episcopalian. Jew and Pagan, and should be equal beneficial to the children of our R-miau Catholic citizens. It is purely a secular syf tern, intended to extend to all equal advantage iu acquir ing a good Enalish education. TheUepub licau party seeks to preserve this system Irom nil religious interference, whether it comes trom Protestant or Catholic in tluenccs.. ll clings to our Frew School system as to the ri:k of Nali mal safety, U'lieving that any departure lrotu it that will sanction a division of the Public School Funds, will be the entering wedge to dis rupt the system, destroying it common beneiits, and through this, work untold injury to our free institutions. The benefits of our schools, as now organized and conducted, are too many to admit of achauue being effected without a severe struggle. ": do not even think that, the lait :u the Roman Catholic Church, as a rule, desire it. The more intelligent anions: them as the least, are conscious of the fact that our Public Schools afford a far lietter sectilai education than do the Church schools. Of course those more earnestly devoted to their Church prefer the religious to the secular educa tion, and their children arc, very naturally, sent to the. Church schools. To this no ouc objects. All denominations have special Bchoola. which are patronized by those of the faith represented by the schools and such institution are generally, well sustained. We have not examined the question critically, but our conviction is, that there arc more Protestants in atten ance at select or denominational schools than there are of Catholics in this couutry. IIv'Dce,were it merely a question of money, or even of patronage, there should be a stronger demand on the part of Protestants for a division of school funds than from Catholics. The claim made that our Catho lic fellows citizens are, many of them, poor, is rather an argument for our Public Schools than against them. Our Rchool tax is very light, vt'l t provides for the education of children, irrespective of the number con tainc-d in any one family. It is evident, therefore, that there is uo good reason to justify Catholic interference iu our school system that will not apply with greater force u behalf of Protestants. Vet the latter do not seek any change while the former do. Whv ? Simply this. The Catholic oppo sition to our Free School System is based on u erroneous idea of the function of the fate aud the relationship of the citizen reto. The Catholic taxpayer objects to paying the school tax because Inn children cannot receive, in the Public faith. lie misiht. with equal pn.ierity, object to pay ing the tax levied for pu'i'ic charily. ! cause t lie b- ;ir-iii ir- n e-:itiied to Cille.lijS. or heeauie IV filth e t!l - !t 011.111 C iitieti is nt i !iitr- -i-ed on ev tv ina i, i(in.:ii mil cb'nd an-iis.ed I In fuid. --II.- niiM'.

Ii is a remarkable coinsci-vnee that the war iu Germany is !! fly in the schools. The determinate''1 of liismarck not to allow Uitramontancs to act as teachers in the schools of Germany, unless they will recog nize the authority of the State over that of the Pope, is the root of all the trouble there. It is simply a fight for the control of the schools. The evidence accumulates that along with the promufgation of the dogma Iufallibility, the Ultramontane, elemeut determined to put forth a determined cllorl ".'ontrol of the school system of all counties. . . . ...

The hostility tuanif. sU-d toward he Bible oi tin- fcb . two or three years ao. was only preliminaiy to a demand for a Ji vision ot the rclnxil funds. This demand simply means the breaking up of our ncliool sii in. mid the substituion. not ofdenomi n ihi'.nal schools merely, but of a corrupt nxniein of bargain and division, which do more to corrupt our politick than any thing we have ever known. Tais is the coming battle, and those who know any thing of politics know how the great poli tical parties will be divded. Pittsburg Guzcttc.

Henry Bergh'n new Society, for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Children is doing as good a work as hU old one tor the Preven tion of Cruelty to Anbnals. He has turn ed his attention to the Uousand aud one shows in the city. At the 'r;-oli Gardens in 8th Street, is a boy acrobat, advertised under ihe name "Prinze Leo," who night lj performs the most difficult feats on the light-rope. II i8 a little, wee child, not over six years of age, delicate and pretty as possible. A man named Leonard, a brute of a fellow, owns him, and has taught him not only the common feats of tight rope performers, bat many more startling and -ri:injernu!. Leonard eotnpe'li-d him j to walk the tightrope blindfolded. t -is- j cend and dec( nd a rope f;isti-nid .t an unc'e j of fort v-five decrees, and a score of fcais which the oldest equilibrist decline to uu dertake, and all without any netting un derneath to save him in tin- event of falling. Bergh stationed a few officers in the au dience, and when Leonard and the boy ap peared, they sprung upon the stae and seized them both At the examination the next morning, it was shown that Ihe child was the son of a drunken rag picker in Philadelphia, that the father sold him to Leonard, who has trained him. Leon ard has hahitunllv beatiti, starved and abhscd him. When practicing, if the child failed iu the slightest particular, the brute would kick and bruise him, without mercy. He performs none of the feato willingly ; in fact, there is terror in his lace from the moment lie is forced uiion the rope till he is through. He trembles so Tiih fear during his performance that, ihe chances of failure ar largely increased, bul he does it because he knows that if he tails he tak'-s the chance of being killed bv the fall, and that if he escapes that, his brute of a master will half kill him w ith beatiug. Think of putting a boy seven years old, on a small rope stretched from door to ciiiing. a disiauce ot sixty leet. at an inula of fotty live degrees, and compell trig him lo crawl up the terrible incline! And then wln u at the top, sixty feet from the stage, to slide down the steep descrn with frightful Velocity, grasping tne rope onl with bis tots, bringing up in ihe arm ot his masier. Judge Donohue. will put the child iu tin charge of the Society, who will find him a home. Heigh will go through till the shows, and lake every one of these children out ..i the hands of ihe biutes wboownthem. I. is estimated that there ate three thou-und c-iildren in Ihe city similarly employed, in Ic cheap theatres and in begging on t!i streets, who are slaws in every Sense ol ihe word. Mr. Rcrgh proposes to emanci pate them. HOW THE RICH MEN LIVE. Because a tuau happens to be rich it does tut follow that he lives in gorgeous at Ic. lideed the "bloated aristocrats" of New York, or Ihe most of them, live as quietly ai other people, and a great deal more so tlan those whose wealth is of more recent (hie. Vanderbilt, whose wealth runs up n !oig way into the millions, lives ou Fourth street, a most unfashionable neighborhood in Sew York, in a very plain house. Sam TiUen lives ou 20th, near Fourth Avenue. Feler Cooper, on the corner ol 22d and Ltxiug'.ou Avenue. Cyrus W Field, on G:a mercy Park, aud Hamilton Fish, on Flh and Second Avenue. Daniel Drew's :oodc is ou ihe corner of 17th aud Broad vay. All these locations have been a ban coned by the fashiouable, years ago, bu. the old fellows love their old homes, nu t nay in them. Peter Goelet, one ot the richest men in New York, lives on the corner of 18th and Broadway, in an old 'louse with ground enough about it lo pas .are a cow, and he keeps his cow on it The ground is worth probably So'Jl) OOd but Goelet is fond of milk, aud he wants it fresh and good. Counting the interest on the ground, the old gentleman's milk cos's him about 810 per quart, but he doesn't care for that. He wants good, sweet milk j iu his coffee and he gets it. A. T. Stewart, has a wonderful mansion n 5th Avenue, but I rather thiuk he built it more for an advertisement for his busi ness than anything else. The shoddy aristocrats the suldenlv rich all live on 5th Avenue, aud the streets that run into it above 2-Jth. They -ire obliged to get into this location t -how that the' are rich those who wealth is known and acknowledged can do as they please. I should prefer to lie an i ncit nt millionaire, for I should waul the privilege of living where I saw lit without having snobs t put me out of conceit with llKi if. MOODY AND ANKEY Are ttol ihe sensation ihey wen; when they begaii. Yu can get into the Rink uow, without the slightest trouble aud un occupied scats begin to sh w. Still ihe Evangelists keep up their efforts with as much vigor as ever, and the religious ele ment of Brooklyn seem to be in no wise discouraged. While their success is not what was anticipated, there can be n-. question that they have accomplished great good. They have succeeded in awakening the professing Christians to a more keen sense of their duty, they have brought back backsliders, and have alarmed thousands of sinners. Tho requests for prayers come fiom every State in the Union. Moody's method is peculiar. He selects a subject lor each meeting, and compels the attention of the audience to that one subject, aud nothing else. For instance the other morn ing, the subject was "Love." Frequently agiod brottier, in the course of his remarks would get at some other phase of Christ! iti experience, but the moment he did so Moody would bring him back. He had t( talk of "Love" or nothiiig. They now hold live meetings each day. A WONDERFUL WORK OF ART. A memento of interest is the porlri-'1 l Washington, woven of silk by the Jaequard loom, in Lyons, twenty years g'. Not a dozen copies of this curiosity exist, and the marvelous skill of thef workmanship, together with their rarity, put a high value on those in ..rivate hand. The owners of the Jacquard loom wove pictures in the same manner of the crowned heads of Europe. Nauoleon I. Josephine. Victoria, itie l'ope, and Charlen X.. among the rest, which were always reserved as presents for Sovereigns, one copy being made for each member of a royal family, after which the frames were destroyed so that no more could do produced. The United Slates Consul at Lyons seeing these portraits, suggested to Ihe manufacturers that then' wr millions of sovereigns i" ""' country, and it wout.i vo u present them with a picture of their Washington. The firm. Ponson, Philippe & Viberty, agreed, if the consul would send au authentic portrait of Washington, and an engraving after Smart's Washington wis selectei' as a model.

Sam l'lldeu, a few months ago, i was confident of being the next D.-uiocratic candidate for the Presidency. He had il all fixed. His programme was lo be'p to Heal Alien iu Ohio, which would beltle him ; to help elect Pershing in Penus) Iva nia, which he could afford to do, Pershing iKiViiig no Presidi'ii-lal aspirations, and then to make his name the rallying cry of tne D tiiocracy of N w York, which was to carry the Stale by bLUJUU A pretty programme, wus it uot ? But somehow il (Inlu'l work. Allen was barely U-aten iu j Ohio. Pershing, was uutm ivilully beaten iu I'eiiusylvauia. and the cry ol iiiiieu aud Reform" was beaten liO.UUO in the city of New Yoik. and escaped Uefeat in the! St.iii- ly only 17,0b0! Where does that I leave the calculating I'liden V Alien is as j strong as -vi r lie was. ami il there is a man i ii earth who has earned the undying ha j tred of Western Democrats thai man is j i iideu. Pennsylvania Democracy owes' him nothing, for with his help they were beaten oul of their boots, and no mau from New York need enter the ring who has 1 -unmauy sluck to him. and who came so near sinking his nartv in the Slate. Exit Tilden. If he ever had a chance it is gone, i Small men should never undertake large ombinations. The Democracy must look elsewhere for a candidate. A u'd wheu it conies lo a point ihe people of New York are not as fond oftheDctnou racy as they weie on general principles. Noiv that TASKS ARE HIGHER THAN EVER, they remember that the city has been tiuder Democratic rule for years, and for what ever is bad in tiie government, that party is rcspousible. When business was boom ing, and when the properly -owner had merely to put figures oa his property, they did not care foi taxes. Bul now it is quite litTerent. Rents are down a half, and thousands of buildings arc standing empty, while taxes are mounting up frightfully. The taxes have to be paid whether business yields profit or not, or whetl.er Ihe build ings rent or not. And now that they are woiried lo raise money to pay their taxes, they begin to find that it pays to pay some attention to politics, and the more men hink the less Democracy suits them. It was this feeling that overthrew Tammati) this fall it i this feeling that will give the State to the Republicans uext year. sure. Tiie rings that hav? plundered this city and Brooklyn own the. Democratic party, and the lax-payers find that Ihey can only kill the rings by killing the party. Democ racy iu New York is not a corpse yet, but tin- death rattle is in its throat. Let us make a judicious nomination, and there will be no trouble about tarrying New York. I5EECHER may be as popular as ever in his own church, but he is not outside of thai body. He attended the M ody aud Sankcy meet ings qii.te regularly up to last Saturday. The CiergytH : i pres- nt hi that day were invited to rcniiiu after Uu in-cttug. loc u suit as to the best means of carrying ou un work, and Bn-chei stayed with the rest, bul. alas ! he was coldly received, and many of the reverends did not speak lo him a all. He has not been at the lliuk since. Iu his sermons he speaks ol Moody a8"Rrother Moody." but ihe evangelist always prefixes the plain "Mister" to Boucher's name. There is no gelling rid ot ihe fact, the public have lost confidence in Beecher. He does not stand where he did two years ago, and never will, lun--c ut or guilty, he has lost his grip. ai' ihe sooner he withdraws from public gaze the better it will be for his name. PlKTRO.
