nl a c p'o acc c./utruuls with it about ,
ah would a plenty to a giant.
Eovernor TiMcn'h loiter is clear ami
forcible on all great questions touching
the government ami the interests
ol the country. On the Southern
question he uses words ol wisdom and
sound sense, showing that he thorouhly
understands and ajqieciates the nil nation.
Ho does not lind any difficulty
in the great Radical puy./do, the financial
and currency question, and clearly
points out how the credit ol the
country is to be elevated anil tliu whole
debt liquidated and the currency regu.
laicd without etnbarrossment to business
or additional burdens to the
people.
Tho letter mil hi oertninly meet the
highest expectations that tho Democratic
party could havo wished or
hoped lor ami we do not sec how any
man who has a stake in tho -country,
ami an tin prejudicial mind, can rend it
without being convinced that (iov.
Tildeii is the man who should, and
will be, the next l'rosident ol these
United slates.
Why Not I
We have been asked why wo do
not raise aloft in our columns the Tilden
and lit mlrickfl (lag*
We answer it is not because wo do
not believe them the best men in the
Untied StateH lor the position to
which they have been nominated
Not because wo do not w ish the Republican
party utterly overthrown
and thereby coriupliou tooted out-of
the land, nor because we are not thoroughly
Democratic, and ever have
been and expect to be. Rut. it (teems
to us to bo pcilectly useless to talk
about the Riosidvntial election in this
Stale, so far as the Democratic party
is concerned, until some definite plan is
illlonliul liW I lie iii'llrvii mI ill" I I....... I
critic party in ih? Stale election.
At present it looks as though the
wait and watch policy has the controlling
ascendancy over tho Democracy
in this State. Whether thin "wait
and watch" policy wilt eventuate, at
a very late day, in pulling a straightout
Democratic ticket in the liehl, or
whether action by tho party will be ho
dcluycd, in lw.tiling watching
lor the lb-publicans to make their
nominations and blunders, that it. will
be too late to heal divisions and unite
the parly in time lor the election, and
so be lorced to acquiescu and coalesce
in the election of Mr. Chamberlain, is
, perhaps best known to the advocates
of the wait and watch policy.
If the Democratic party determine
not to run a straight out ticket, but to
COaicRCO in the election of (lovernor
Chamberlain, it will be useless lor the
Democratic party in this State to talk
about taking any part in tho l'resi
dential election, nor do we believe I
they will do more that carry the leglar
Democratic counties in t looting to
the Legislature and to county otticci>.
It Governor Chamberlain is all the
relortu wo are to get in this election
thousands of Democrats will not turn
out to the polls, knowing lull well that
the radicals who nominate him can
elect him.
When a straight-out ticket is nominated
we shall have some hope in tho
Presidential election.
The Right of Petition.
Wc have received tho following re
quest;
"Mr. Editor:
1 ask that you do me tho favor to
explain in your journal tho duty ot a
Senator in retrard to nreMmtinfr * m-ii.
u r B " t
Hon to the Governor for the removal
of a 'I rial Justice, when he has no
right to believe the charges in the petition.
15 "
ANswKit.?To got at this question
another is made necessary. Had the
Senator any more right to believe the
charges, made in the petition, false
than ho iind to believe them true?
The qualifiing clause in the question
being thus set ofF it becomes a question
of the right of petition.
The right of petition, that is the right
of the citiccns, the governed, to petition
the governing powers, whether
Legislative or Executive, for redress of
grievances, was extorted by the Lords

A Senator is a representative of the
people, in a Legislative body, ami in
ibm capacity is brought in contact
with the r.vceutivc. He is, ?>r ought
to he, so 1 >ug as he holds thai high
position, whether in or out of that
body, il?c s.-rvunt of the people to aot
and use hia power influence and heat
judgment lor their common good. So
we take it a Senator would ho very
remiss to his duty not to present the
petition of his constituents, It it bore on
us face any degree ol respectahility
lor truth and character ot the petit
inners. It ho differed with them
and thought the granting of their petition
would work more harm than
good ho should, nevertheless, present
it to the petitioned power, ami then
state 11ih objections and arguments
against it. He would then have his,
own conscience ami his, constituents
to satisfy that he was right and they

The report ol the commit tee ?in expendit
uri's in llu> war Department lias
been submitted to the House. It is a
very able document ami groups in a
singularly trenchant ami striking
manner the salient points of the great
mass of testimony taken hy (hat committee
in relation to the barter and
farming out ol army ami Indian Posttraderships
by the Secretary of War
and the 1'resident. As the startling
relations in regard to the Knavery
practised in the disposal of these lucrttive
positions ware from time to time
made before this.comniiilcc the public
was amazed; hut these revelations came
in detached portions, and now lor the
first time the most striking instances
ol these revelations are woven into
a connected story by Mr. Clyiner the
chairman of the committee. What a
beautiful picture of the reputation the
President has carved for iiimeelt! In
this connection may be seen in Mr.
Barrens t e s t i m o n y. Mr. Barron
wanted a trading permit and applied
for one to a brother-in-law of tin* Pivsi
dent, one degree removed, named
lieinatd ottering him one third of the
profits it he would secure tor him ti e
situation, lie did so because ho had
heard that Bern aid had influence
with Grant, founded on the (acts, as
Barron says, that he has been intimate
with him, had been drunk with him,
given him a horse and all that kind ot
thing. But here is Mat rons testimony.
Mr. Barron said "after getting the appointment
I removed my goods from
Lusbegas, where I had them, to Fort
U:?ion in the winter ol lt-07, built my
house and opened my goods lor sale,
Mr, Moore was also at the lime Sutler
theie; alter being their eight months
1 was removed while I was absent in
St. Louis; Mr. Bernard was in the
mean liine out there and proposed to
take his share ol the profits and stay
in the house, which he did tor some
time alter. I went to St. Louis in the
tall ol 1808, without any notification
whatever 1 received a note from my
clerk st*t:ng that my permit was re
yoked and that Mr. Bernard was nn
pointed in- my place. I had a large
stoek of goods on band, probably
60 000 or 00.000 dollars worth and my
buildings baa cost me several thousand
dollars. It was a thing very
unexpected to me, and placer! me in a
very peculiar situation as I owed many
thousand dollars in Ht. Louis. I did
not know what to do. I tried to make
arrangements to sell out but did not
know whom to sell to; and I could not
take tho goods away, as they were not
adapted to any other place than a
Sutllers store. I then met Mr. Dent;
Bernard had telegraphed Mr, Dent tc
see me and to arrange about buying
the stock of goods. I was not disposed
to let Bernard have anything to dc
with it. He was considered u prufligati

The Heliool.
Ah it is about lirno lor opening the
public schools in this county, we qs
pecially commend the following uriicles
to the attention ol iho leaofters
i . . < .. ^ L
: ituoiii iu assume inu respoustwo trust r

preparing {tiat artribute of thought
lor expansion that that mind shall
reach the perfection o! those giant
power? that God and nature intend it
should, and the yoijth under your tu
torago bo iu his day ol manhood a
blessing to his country; and generations,
yet unborn, shall rise up and
oall you blessed.
Teacher, did you ever think ol the
responsibility you had voluntarily assumed?
Does your idea of that responsibility
rise higher than dollars
and cents? We want to see education
I advance. We want to sec the system
I improved in this county, and if you
have carefully thought ol your responsibility
in this great work, to God, to
your fellow man and to your country,
we (eel tjuile sure it will improve in
your school.
It your system of teaching is defective,
and your labors have been without
result, improve it. If your own
education is not eijual to the task bolore
you, don't slack your studies; get
books and periodicals on education;
apply yoursell to knowledge; seek
wisdom mid she will be lowed. The
mmi whose education is peitect is a
stupid ass, ami is not lit to teach a
Hottentot.
TKACIl TO IMPART KNOWI.ttDUK.
The ottico ot tlie teacher is to give
iiibtfuction?to communicate knowledge?
to impart ideas? to stimulate
thought?to facilitate study?to
guide development? to direct effort?
to act as the counselor and (riend ot
the student. The mere drill-master,
unhappily too well known in the
schools ot this country ol every class,
who "hears recitations" and exercises
classes in the gymnastics ot the external
memory, is not worthy to be
called by the noble name ot teacher.
Textbooks, lesson-papers, and the
like, are well enough in their way, as
helps to both student ami teacher,
but they can not adabt themselves to
the many varieties of mind, and the
ever varying states that characterize
its operations. This adaptation is
the work of the living teacher. What,
is easy to one is hard to another. A
reason or an illustration that satisfies
one may he partly or wholly insufficient
to in':ut the wants of another. The
student who is clear ami quick one
day or week, may, liom a different
condition ol health, be dull and alow
at another period. Hence to make
equal exactions, either ol attainment
or ot' discipline, ol all the members ot
a class, without regard to such circuimuauccs,
is to prove the unfitness
ot the teacher tor the duties he has
assumed. The mere memorizing ami
recitation ot the words ot a lesson, so
common in the school*, is rather an
injury than a benefit. Thero is an
undue strain ol the external mind,
and a pretense ol intellectual advancement,
and then the seeds ot' knowledge
that may, nevertheless have
taken root in the Ircsh and fertile soil,
are rudely pulled up to prove the
lael that there has been a beginning
ot growth. This is whv the result*
of modern education are ho thin and
poor. Its processes violate the laws
of the mind, and therelore can not be
truly successful.
The teacher should go to his clans
with something to communicate.
The object ol their previous study
should be to prepare themselves to
receive the instruction the teacher is
to give. The class should meet not
merely to tell the teacher what they
have learned Irom a printed lesson,
but chiefly to have the teacher ex.
plain and make clear what they may
. have found obscure or unsatisfactory.
; The real recitation or review shouid
> follow instruction, not preucdo it.
; The student should leel that the
I teacher is his willing help and guide.
? And the less able the student is to
> mastorthe lesson without help, the
%

more he is entitled to assistance. <
The common system of rewards and
punishment is unjust and oruel to the
last degree. Those whose perfect
heuli.li and fine natural endowments
enable thein to givo the'm.odei superfi- (
uial recitation, are too often crowned
with honors; whilo the tar mors
patient, devoted and earnest? workers J
of the class, who are incapable, from
poorer health or natural endowments,
Irom making tho standard display, are
loo often humiliated by discredits and
reproof. Yet the scholar who gives
the poorest recitation in tcords, may,
nevertheless, have the best gcuerul
idea of the subject of the lesson, and
may in after years attain a knowledge
oi iu and an ability to apply it to use,
quite beyond the reach of the classmate
whoso grfoly .distanced him in
mflfthr * years.' ^his much I ha>V
thought it well to say in defense of
the sb-culled "dull scholar," and in
condemnation of a system pernicious
in morals, and, of course, fruitless.
Tho teacher should give nis instruction
dourly, deliberately and in a certain
sense, slowly, lie should give
Ins class time to receive and comprehend
his teachings. Ho should encourage
those who arc timid.' Ho
should he patient with those whose
minds act slowly. Ho should delight
to remove difficulties aui doubts.
Ho should be anxious, not to get, but
to give; not to receive something fromtlifKiass,

Would the lllouil of a Mllion Negroes Pay
the Forfeit?Wash Out the Ignominy!
After copying The llegister and
Augusta papers, accounts of the outrage
upon a little 5 year old girl in
Edgefield, the Advertiser says:
'l'lio circumstance detailed in the
above two articles is literally true.
And it is a matter where human language
utterly fails to express adequate
giiel, horror, indignation. We had
hoped it would not get into the public
print. We carefully abstained from
all allusion to it. On account of it,
one of the most honorable and
most beloved families of Edgefield
is covered with shame as
with a pall. Pure in themselves, and
with an escutcheon as unblotled an
I hat of Bayard himself, yet, neverthe
itHX, by reason ol the internal lust oi a
bea-tly negro, they must walk forever
in the shadow of this unspeakable
humiliation. Sensible men of the
North, here is a fact to look at. And
11 is only one ot a great chaiu of such
facts.
These rapes, and outrages, and midnight
assassinations are the outgrowth
ol anarchy, and ot such law as negro
Trial Justices dispense. Assassins,
bigamists, perjurers and thieves are
promoted to the highest offices in the
State.
Yes, sensible men of the North,
look upon this fact. look upon it,
Herald. Look upon it, Neves anil
Courier. Look upon it, Chamberlain.
Look upon it, yc crazy shriekers Irom
all quarters. And if yu have the souls
of men, be done with your miserable
and craven stuff about Hamburg and
the killing ol negroes. Again we
ask: Would the blood of a million negroes
pay the lorfeit?wash out the
ignominy.

We cannot be too often reminded of
the injustice ot hasty conclusions in
regard to events whioh inav bo errn
ueous'y reported 10 us in the North;
but it is especially during the Presidential
canvass that opinions as to disorders
in the Republican Stales ot the
South, such as Louisiana and South
Carolina, should be well coneideied
and based upon established tacts. We
will not, therefore, express any judgment
as to the position of Governor
Chamberlain; yet the tone of the

So. it Ci^wie to pass thatpus foolishly
honest man signed tho majority report
oui the naval investigation, simply
because an impart ial consideration of
the evidence had convinced him that
Sccor Robberson was a rascal, and wan
guilty of lite crimes alleged against
him. Ho was even rash enough to
differ on this point with a wideawake
and thoroughly consistent Republican
colleague, Mr. Ananias Hays of Alabama.
And Mr. Burleigh was honored and
applauded by tho party managers at
homo for being the first Republican to
put into practice tho profession* of
the Cincinnati platform? Oh no, not
at all! Tho platform mav do for
*
gosling*, marines, and very voung
voters, but manly fellows like Blaine
and sagacious old patriots like Hannibal
Hamlin and Zach Chandler know
better. There is no occasion for surpriso
at the statement that, if the Republicans
have their way, Mr. Burleigh
will not represent the First Maine
District in Congress alter the 4th of
next March.
Republican Congressmen who are
in doubt about the true meaning of
any portion oftiiie Cincinnati platform,
should take if^to Zach Chandler for
illumination before proceeding t.o act
upom it.

Tilden and Hayes are both claimed
as "reform" candidates, l*et us sec
what their past records have been.
Hayes, as Governor, signed the bills
increasing the fees and emoluments of
Ohio officials $5,900,000 per annum in
the aggregate. Governor Tilden has
decreased the taxation of New York
more than $7,000,000. Which of tho
two is entitled to tfie appellation of
reiorm candidate? The people want
retrenchment and reform and they will
be at no loss to choose between the
two candidates.
