The Times’ Jacksonville special gays: The Sheriff of Baker. county was before the Senate Committee to. : day, and he testified to the fact that } a local Democrat offered bim $125 to sign the bogusreturns by which the Democrats are claiming a majority for Tilden on the fave of the returns. The agent of the Democrats who selected a party to bribe him in the ‘first instance failed, and a second attempt to do the dirty work was made upon hit by one Hartridge, a lawyer of this place; who went to Baker county specially commissioned by the agents of Tilden and Drew. Considerable testimony was taken showing the bitter bastility. oxisting in’this city against the Northern men who, although they never run for office, annonnce their Republican prin. . ciples and make themselves promiThesa Northern meh have made Jacksonville thé: most prosperous city of the . South, and by their capital and énterprise are building up the eastern portion of the State to a great extent, If the Northern-men here were to _-withdraw their capitalthere would be nothing left but uttor désolation, yet they are contemptuously called carpet baggers, Yankees, etc,, and all beease they don’t join the Democratic party. One gentleman, named Abbott, had a small Union flag hanging over his door, which was torn down and disgustingly besmeared, together with his house, because he rode in a : “Seartiage in a Republican procession. It was shown, also, that the Demoorats withdrew their deposits from the First National Bank in rans city because one of its officers ‘appeared in -@ Republican procession, The sub-committe of the Howse, which went to Jackson county, arrived here last night; and the Democratic members admit that they put their foot imit in going there, Every precinct they sat down to inves' tigate revealed nothing bat Demo-. cratic rasoality. It was proved by Democratic witnesses at Friendship: ‘Church that the Republicans were swindled out of 145 votes. A Republioan member of the committee asserts that at two precincts the Republicans were cheated ont of a suffigient num-ber of votes to havegiven a majority. on the face of the returns for the ~ ‘whole State ticket, aad yet Drew has been inaugrated Governor, thanks to The Other is behind time; ‘. sons of punctuality and .Panctaality. . _{* There is probably nothing which tends more to the success of any pupil than punctuality in ‘his atttendance at schédl, What is true of other avocations is true in regard to pupils. The employer who engages his laborers, expects they. will work’ for hin the alloted time. Neither does an employer. expect that ‘his help will come and go as they may see fit, bat as the time for labor comes around, che expects to see every laborer at his proper place, otherwise his business]. will fail and he will become. bank‘lupt. Attendance upon, #gehool is dnuch different from any other kind of labor, * of each succeed+ ing dayde ends more or less upon. ‘the preceeding one,and he Who stays cut ote day bas lost-onedink —whiob LHe has failed to forge, and the chain’ beeomes as useless as a rope of savd. Take, two.pupils of. equal ability and su:rounded by similar circumstances, . and send thein‘to sonool; let one remain out of schookfor two days of each week, and_at th the.end of a term. of four thonths, while ‘the one who baa been regular in attendance passes the requisité examination, the other fails. ‘wo travelers start out on a journey, possessing equal locomotive powers. One sees fit to spend a day occasionally at the billiard. table, or gait t j the race course, or perhaps to gee “the elephant.’** “Bike other pursues a straight-forward course, without-turning to the right hand or to the left, and ever pursues ‘‘the even tenor of hid way,” and in due time his honest labor is rewarded with a successful and completed journey. ‘he is ‘“‘weighed in’the’balance and found wabting.’”’ The absent and tardy discouraged, and when he sees the examination stare him fully in the: face, hé makes some excuse that he is needed at home, ‘and withdraws . . from school. The habit, engendered by retaining pupils out of school for frivolous causes, sows the seed of truancy and disinterestedness; at Jlength a dislike and hatred of a school, andthe result too ‘vften is, the pupil is ruined for life, and he grows up to become a hoodlum or something worse. It hag been truly said that ‘‘man is a bundle of habits ;”’ _.and who is the man or woman today, if he possess a bad habit, caa “not point back to youtli af’the time when the seed. was sown? Habits while being formed, are the servants, but when'wholly formed they then become the masters, and where is the individual who may be s0 unluéky asto be the servant of some evil habit, bat-can-truly—say—he—has-—a -hard-master, —If our children are to grow up to khecome useful business oughly the habit of punctuality, Children are expected to learn lesedience as much as intellectual culture in school, and that parent acts the part of wisdom who ‘is willing to make such sacrifice, in order that his children may learn those lessons in youth which will prepare them to hold places of honor and trust, whereas, . if he neglects his daty, to his children, will repent when it is too late.

Eprtor Transontrr: In yesterday’s issue, I read'a very interesting communication from North Bloomfield. on the good Order of the Knights of Pythias. However, in the.course of your correspondent’s remarks, , I read the following passage: ‘' Every ‘Supreme Being, to live @ moral, upright life. With his ‘‘particular religion, or political belief, we have noth-. ing to do, for nothing of a political or “sectarian” characteris allowed to enter the portals of the Lodge.”’. The Knights of Pythias do not interfere atall with our religious belief, Oh, no; but we must, we are required, to no chances whatever for us to join the brotherhood and be benefitted by parposes. This is what the Knights of Pythias call ‘charity for all,’’ no sectarianism whatever; and in the mean time, infidels are ostracized for their very belief, or unbelief. — ‘Now let me ask the Knights of Pythias what they mean by Supreme Being; ‘for, since a-man to join their Order must believe in a Supreme Be‘ing, they ought consistently to give a definitioa, and’a clear one, of that Being. Has that Supreme Being anything to do with the God of Israel, Jesus of the Christians, Buddha. of the Hindoos, Mahomet of the Mus sulmen, Khoung Seu of the Chinese, and the. host of divinities of ancient and modern times? or is it 6iil ficticious or fanciful being, a myth, through which a man who is ashamed to say that he believes in God, Jesus or Boodh might, that way, become a Knight of Pythias? Supreme Being is certainly a long and sonorons name, having seven letters more than that is all I can see in it. If a Sopreme Being’is all the same as God why not, then;-use the latter word; if itis not,, what is it; _ ca Pea eney Oe Nevada Foundry. As will be seen elsewhere, David Thom, so long and favorably known tothe business men, and miners of the county, has sold out his interest in the Nevada Foundry to.Seorge G.

It hag been truly said that ‘‘man is a bundle of habits ;”’ _.and who is the man or woman today, if he possess a bad habit, caa “not point back to youtli af’the time when the seed. was sown? Habits while being formed, are the servants, but when'wholly formed they then become the masters, and where is the individual who may be s0 unluéky asto be the servant of some evil habit, bat-can-truly—say—he—has-—a -hard-master, —If our children are to grow up to khecome useful business oughly the habit of punctuality, Children are expected to learn lesedience as much as intellectual culture in school, and that parent acts the part of wisdom who ‘is willing to make such sacrifice, in order that his children may learn those lessons in youth which will prepare them to hold places of honor and trust, whereas, . if he neglects his daty, to his children, will repent when it is too late.

Eprtor Transontrr: In yesterday’s issue, I read'a very interesting communication from North Bloomfield. on the good Order of the Knights of Pythias. However, in the.course of your correspondent’s remarks, , I read the following passage: ‘' Every ‘Supreme Being, to live @ moral, upright life. With his ‘‘particular religion, or political belief, we have noth-. ing to do, for nothing of a political or “sectarian” characteris allowed to enter the portals of the Lodge.”’. The Knights of Pythias do not interfere atall with our religious belief, Oh, no; but we must, we are required, to no chances whatever for us to join the brotherhood and be benefitted by parposes. This is what the Knights of Pythias call ‘charity for all,’’ no sectarianism whatever; and in the mean time, infidels are ostracized for their very belief, or unbelief. — ‘Now let me ask the Knights of Pythias what they mean by Supreme Being; ‘for, since a-man to join their Order must believe in a Supreme Be‘ing, they ought consistently to give a definitioa, and’a clear one, of that Being. Has that Supreme Being anything to do with the God of Israel, Jesus of the Christians, Buddha. of the Hindoos, Mahomet of the Mus sulmen, Khoung Seu of the Chinese, and the. host of divinities of ancient and modern times? or is it 6iil ficticious or fanciful being, a myth, through which a man who is ashamed to say that he believes in God, Jesus or Boodh might, that way, become a Knight of Pythias? Supreme Being is certainly a long and sonorons name, having seven letters more than that is all I can see in it. If a Sopreme Being’is all the same as God why not, then;-use the latter word; if itis not,, what is it; _ ca Pea eney Oe Nevada Foundry. As will be seen elsewhere, David Thom, so long and favorably known tothe business men, and miners of the county, has sold out his interest in the Nevada Foundry to.Seorge G. Allan, who will in fature couduct the business alone. The Nevada Foundry is one of the most complete in the mountains. ' It has conven. ences for tarningout any kind of a job, and the work performed there is not excelled in the State, Mr. Allan thoroughly understends his business, and will afford miyers, and of patrons of the foundry, no cause to complain about price, or quality of thence through land of. and. 5.
