INDIANA HAS AOPTED A conlstitu tional amendment postponing the State elections until November. She does rot propose to be any longer the battle-ground of the Union. TrIE (OI.tTrimrA Register thinks that, Iiieluding expenditures for repairs and cOnstruction, the net earning of the railroads of the State for the past year exceed three million dollars. TII-: AGOUSTA Chronicle and Con atit.utioalist does not think that Til- I deen's quarrel with Cyrus Field will injure Judge Field's chances in New York, and believes that the Judge would be a formidahle candidate in any event. IT I8 SHREWDLY sUsI'ECTED THAT TIHE colored etet, Whittaker, at West Point. was not attacked by anyone, and that he was nerely shamming. The post surgeon examined him and, finding no bruises whatever on his p'+rson. ordered him at once to report ir duty. The reasons for his self martyrization are not given. A love ly outrage has been nipped in the bud, much to the grief of the stalwart or gaus. BISMARCK HAS RESIGNi.D DF.CAUSE the Bundesrath failed to pa5s8 a mncas nrc exac61y to his taste. The Kaiser reftses to accept the resignation, an(d the people believe that liismarek will withdraw it. His real object is said to be the securing of represonation in the Bundesrath according to popula tion. Prussia contains five-eighths of the inhabitants of Germiany and elects not quite one-third of tie' whole num-I .ber of members. It is thought. that the minor prilnripalities will makc concessions in this matter rather (han lose the services of the man of blood and iron, 4 TEmn DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN Co lumbia was so quietly achieved that I its importance is scarcely realized. Five or six years ago the RIadical vote in the city outnumbered the white vote two to one, and Nash and Minort t wielded supremne power. This ye a" the entire Democratic ticket was elect ed(. with but two scattering votes. Right well has the campaign opened in the caplital of the State. Columbia follows Charleston in its trlump)h, andI as the two leading cities have gone, the rest of the State will go by a rousing majority. We 'onlgratullate the peoplet of Columbia on the selection of such a representative council. The Campaign Opening. With the meeting of' the County Excutive Committee on the 24th of A pril the campaigni will open in Fair field. The State Convention does not meet until June, and the County Con vention will be held sometime in May. It does not follow that the campaign will[open vigorously for some mouths yet. Still it is well for Democrats to begin thinking of their duties and re sponsibi litiles. Public opinion should crystallize upon the question of nomi nating a State ticket in Juine, anid able and discreet delegates should be senti to Columbia to speak the mind of Fairfild. The Radicals are working secretly but vigorously. Whether their Coni ty Convention wvill be held in Winns.. boro or in some hidden locality is not known. They niee4 not expect to gain anything by a still hunt, and might as well show their hands at once. Fairfield is a Democratic county and It will remain so for years to comne. Major Woodward for Congress. Now that the campaign is opening, and there Is a posslbility that the Con-] gressional Convention will be held at a not distant day, we ask the voters of' the Fourth District to consider' the -claims of Major T. WV. Wood ward, of Fairfiled.~ Major Woodward needs no iutroduction to the D)emioratie voterse of the State, and especially to those of the distr'ict of wvhich Fair'fleld for'ms a part. One of the original straightonts, hie bore the bannier of undetild Democracy through every nook and corner of Fairfild ini 1876, and Invad ed the arena of Federal politics by capturing the Radical .anidate forI Congr'ess on his own gron d. Hie was the leading candidate in the Congres sional Convention for a number of ballots, and when the prize was borne away fr'om hhin, he did yeoman ser vice in behalf of the Demnocr'atic niominie, Beneath a genial and jovial oxterior' Major Woodwvard carries a clecar liead! and a true heart, and lie wvell knows the importance of. prudence and cir-' cunmspeetion in mat ters of gr'ave re sponsibIlity.

Spring acld nepublican .et'er. 'I'ownslheud, of Illinois, is atonce on his feet. lie Is the source of all this ontroversy, for it was his action in isking the reference on Monday of a arilt bill to the committee on revision f the laws, instead of the committee n ways and incans, where it. belong :d and would have gone had its char meter been known, that caused the rouble. He is a youngish looking nan1, with a bright face, well-dressed id on the whole of rather prepos essing appearance, but with an irre istible impulse to have his say on very possible occasion, which had aused him to be voted a good deal of bore even before this escapade had nade many of his associates regard )im as a trickster. lie asks if the irst thing in order is not the reading )f th 11e joirnal, and is supported by Bllackburn, of Kentncky. A tall man, vitl a strong voice. a good coilnild )f language and great fiuiliarity with >arliameontary laws und tricks, Black Jun never has mulch ldifficulty in cot nailing a hearing. There is a sort )f (ev'il-inav-care air about him, and ls natural love of a tight is stimulted )y ti opportui'nnity to wreak his spite n his rival in the speaker's chair. Garleld is the first (in' tle Republican aide to chaipion the opposite view, t(1 cominuds, as he always does, the attention of the HLouse. Reed, of Maine, who has been wriggling arouud in his seat for some time, at la4t tannot. keep quiet any longer. Ile is a very tall and large man, with a big head, of which the forehead runs back aver a vast expanse, and his loud nasal tone is aggravated by a peculiar ly exasperating mainner.

Newbcrry, the Detrolt baiker and richest man perhaps in the I louse, puts mother from his seat near the rear of he hall, and Blackburn walks around to the centre aisle to hear and reply. The discussion runs on A FI.I. IIOURt OR MOnE, ror Mr. Randall is al way liberal in tlowing debate on- poiuits of order. uger, of Michigan, who has kept (uiet an unusually long time, at last lus in his oar, and has a little spat vith Springer, of Illinois, a trim gen lenian, always sleekly dresse(d and enerally with i nosegay in his but Ion-hole. iland, of Missouri, famous for his silver bill, rises to a parlia ucintary inquiry-au undersized man, vth a weak voice and ra.her con. emptible sort of air generally. At ast. the Speaker stops the discussion )y submitting the question whether he Journal shall he read to the House 'or its decision. Blackburn demandls he yeas and nays, and thie clerk calls lie r'olI. The result is fhumlly an mounced--115 for readIng the jo'urnal, .27 ag.ilnst. There follow a li'ttle dis mussion, and then ThomnaR Turner, of (entuck r, conies to the front. Th'iere ire two 1'uriners firom Kentucky, and ['homas Turner always raises a laugh vhen lie 0opens his miouthi. iIe Is very all, his head is pretty bald, and1( as lhe rots excited, which lhe soonu does, it rrows redder and redder, while he irandhishies his right arm in a most udierous mainer, lie moves to ad ourn, but it is onily 2 o'clock, and he ani get onuly 16 men to jin himi ini icimanding the yeas and nays, which is iot enough' to require a roll-call. Then ie mUoves for a recess till eveiiing, but nleets again the same fate. A NEW QUE8TION NOW COMES UP vhether McLane's pro0position is a lnestion of privilege. Hie argues at ongth that it Is, failing, as he always loes, to sccur'e theC atteiitin lie deC erves, by reason of his dlisaigreeable 'oice. Ie has an hour at his comn nanid, and lie yields fragments of it to rarious members. Mills, of TreXas, a trong free-trade member of thie ways md means committee, who has been nluttering his disgust at intervals (dur ig the discussion in tones loud enough o be heard in the galleries, gets an >pportuuity to speak his mind1( and nakes some very vigorous remarks. Fudge Kelly, "the father .of the louse," who seldom takes (lhe floor in hese days,says afewv words ini his dleep), olling tones. Gen. Hawlev, who has ecen over conferring wvith MleLane, is granted three miiutes to present and irge an amend ment. Finley, of Ohio, i weak-looking and officious sort of erson, obtains a chance to speak, but iardly anybody pays the slightest at ention. At last the hour is~ up and he roll imiust be called. It. is men on [ilackburni's own side who have beat mi him-half a dozen Demociats from P~ennsylvanuia, two a piece from New Jersey and Marylandt, and scatterlng votes from hailf a dozen otheir States. Blackburn moves to adljoiun, anid 3aslly rallies enough of his8 followdra .o get the yeas and naiys called, iIe Is yeaten, of course, 64 to 164. Singleton, >f Illinois, an old gentleman of nearly r0, benevolent and somewhat amusinig in asp)ect, makes another dilatory muo tion anid gets the rolU called on It. I'hen another imotion to adjourn31. It is low 6 o'clock, and McLane, who hpus hitherto voted against all such prop)o uitions, moves to adljournu remarking that lie Is not disposed to be kept there ill night. Springer rises to propose oume compromise, but McKenzIe, of Kentucky, a burley, fellowv shouts, 'Sit. down, Bill," theure are eries of "No," "No"' on the Democratic side, and "11111" subsIdes. Mr. Field, who Is unwell, secures leave of absence and goes home. lackburn moves that when the House adjourn It be to meet on Friday, and (lien instructs huis f'ol lowers not to vote at all, which makes thme roll call show 110 quorum. Then comies another propositIon for ad toturinent, and the motion is all but catrriedl, 69 yeas to 70 nays. Itis now Iif-past 6. 'For the last hour members ont both sIdes have been drolpping out, after arranging pam's. The last vote has shown less than a quorum present. A Riepublicant moves a call of thie House, and it. s agreed to. ' So thme clerk again calls thme roll, One hundred and fity- members' re spond. ?HE DoORS ARES LOCICRD, and the sergoamt-at-arms Is ordered to arrest mombire who Are absent With. out leave. The roll of absentees is called, antd the colleagues of several who are sick pres mnt excuses for their absence. The next nour or two drugs on slowly. Randall, after sitting for about six hours in his chair, comes down and stretches his legs, while one anld then another mremnber acts as his substitute. The galleries, which were crowded in the id(dle of the after noon, have thinned out, until the light in the dome-or cupulo, ais Murch, of Maine, calls it-begins to notify the city that there is a night session, and a nlumbl)er of spectators drop in. About 8 o'clock the sergeant-at-arms appears with 1113 FInST nATCH OF VICTIMS. Thle House is in a good-natured nood, and iml proves the slighte.-t op'ort unit y for a lan glh. Each mhlemnber, as he is arraigned at the bar, is asked by the Speaker for his excuse. Then the question is whether it shall be accept ed. The Speaker puts it, there is a taint "Aye," then i trehremndous "No." A "division" is called for, whereupon about everybody who just velled ''No" gets up and votes inl the afir1irma tive. The farce is gone through with over and over again, andl the members seem never to lose their enjoymnent of it. Singleton, of Illinois, had been excused when his name was called on account of liis age, but he comes of his own accord, andc is in t very jovial mood. 'le wears some remarkable kind of a yellow-colored vest, and feels an uncontrollablo iuptllse to use his tongue, despite the fact that it has grown rather thick. lie has a great deal to say about the "unseasonable hour"; he makes imnpossible motions to excuse half a dozen niembers in a bunch ; lie proposes that the House take fifteen minutes "for repose"; lhe talks about "tihe great principles of the Democratic party"; he turns and sharply says, ".Don't pull my coat tails" to a colleague who seeks to re press him ; amid whatever he says, he sets the House and galleries inl a roar. Steele, a queer old fellow from North Carolina, fills up one of the intervals with a recitation from Tarn O'Shanter. From time to to time the sergeant al-arms brings in a fresh invoice of victi ns. Frost, of St. Louis, the youngest menbe' of time Ilouse, is ar raigned In the full evening dress which 'he had assumed for a dinner party, and his aIppearance calls forth roars of laughter. Later on Robeson, Tucker and several others are brought in in the same apparel, as they had been (Iragged from the ex-secret.arv's hospi t:able table. Tucker, who is always running over with fun, feels jollier than usual) and laughs "as though he weould split," while Deuster, an lion ost. Germanu ieIber fron Wisconsin, tells how he went home because he wanted to see his wife. Ileilman, a fat Dutchman from Indiana, brings down the House by renderinhg his ex cuse in his native tongue. Everythim; goes onm smoothly, save whent dluring a roll-call Cotli oth, one of the Pennsyl vania )emocrats who have beeu con sistently voting against their party all through this struggle, replies to a ti rade 'of Blackburn's against the Speak er. an1d the twvo men get to talking so loudly that people in the galleries can overhear stch words as "traitor" and ''liar," and look to see the difficulty proceed from words to blows. Black burn has apparently been drinking ust enough to make him ugly, but thomnas Turner plays the p)art of peace maker and takes Cof'roth off. The more moderate Democrats are evide'tly sick of the farce, anid Tonm Ewing doees inot hesitate to character ize the questioii as "somewhiat frivo lous." A t last the familiat' motion is made again, amid the clerk calls the roll, for the fifteenith timen during the ses sion. One or twvo sleepy R<p.mblicans vote with ths Democrats, ant it is car rIed, 79 to 76. Most of the members already have their o :ercoats on and their hats ini their hands, when at a quaterpas 12theSpeaker dieclaures theHIouse adjourned, the rest rush for the cloak-rooms, and5( within five mini utes haull and galleries are emphty and given over to the force of sweepers. 'The procession takes its war downm the hill, out of the foul air In which many members have staid1 almost constantly for over twelve hout s, and into the bracing air and bright moonlight of a most b)eaut.iful niht. And so ther go home wi th a disatreeable conviction on thme part of a great many! that all they have succeeded in doing~ has beoin to make fools of themselves.' BETihEL PRIE5nYTERY.--The spring session ot Bethel Presbytery convened ~at Beersheba church, XYork county, on Thursday, AprIl 1st, anmd wvas opeined with a sermoni by the retiring m odera tor, Rev. E. Brantley, of Lowryseville, fromi Psalm xlv., 1. After prayer thme body was organiized by thme electlin of R1ev. W. W. Mills, of Fairfld, as moderator, and Rev. G., A. Treniholm clerk. Reports were read from the various pastoral charges wvithin the bounds of Presby'tery. These showed the favorable conditIon of tihe church, in all its interests. The comimittee on Sunday Schools, through It.s chairm an R1ev. G. A. Trenhmolm, recommnended that all tile smaluler hysmn books nowv in use in the Sunaday Schools of thme Presbytery be abolished, 'and that the hymn book used In congregational worship be used also in the Sunday Schools. TIs led to a lengthy debate, but the recommndatl9un of thme com mittee was fhially agTed to. Con sidlerable discussion arose f'om am overture sent up from the church at Rock 11111, askIng that the law of the chmurch requmirinsg membeirs to hold their member'ship at churches nearest their residences be eiifor'ced.

T1I H QUIXCY MMTIHOD. A New Doparture ln the Style of Teaching Good ReRults. IFroln the Soutliern Edncnt+( nil Monthly.] About flive ears ago, the school au thoritics of Quincy, MAs$., placed the the superintendence of the schools in hands of Col. F. W. Parker, giving him sbsolute control as to all inethods and lnanner of teaching, Courses of study, examinations, books to be used, and appointmtetts and removal of teaclers, and illing hin that he wouhl be susta*ned 'n his efforts, and b e work shouil be juIged1 by re-sults. In' his selection of teachers ho Sou ;1ht those who could do tore than siuply hear lessons, atnd gave' themt thie samt1e freedom as to use of mnethods, ways and means that he enjoyed himuself. No absoltto standards of results crip pled their eflorts. Quality. not quan tity, rea1l intoral developIueut. and the at tainment of real skill were demanded. TheII pr'incIipall wor'k of' the superlinlten- t* dlent. was to. lnst ruct. his teachers by lessous, leetutres, private interviews, books, and hv teaching classes of chil (iron in order to show how work should be dne, his main effort being to lead the teachers to unlerstatnd the prineiples of teaching. "''he individuality and freedom that were secured to su perintenlent and , teachers w i- Sharedt by the pupils. ''hcy were ia"ght. to observe for them selves, and t. express freely the resilts o1 their ob :rvation. Pri'mary read ing was first reformed by leadng the pupils to the thought they were to ex press, and next, to a correct expres sion of it ' their range of reading Was enlarged ly giving thiem at va'iety of text-books, juvenile magazines, and other imatter illn abundance. A ri thmne tic was carefully and systematically taught by the objective and inductive method ; gramnar was not taught, from the text-book, at least to s all chil dren ; but training in correct language, both spoken and written, was made prominent at every step of the pupil's progress. Geography was taught by observing the fornsof nature inl the vicinity, and by modeling with mold er'S earth on a htorizonttal board. Pen maes-ip and drawing received thor ough and careful attention, from the first step of the child's progress to the last.. ''e children were taught to observe, to.think, and to express their thoughts,' and to use their hands ski - fully." "The results are good. The clil dren learn to observe, to think, to talk, to write. The principles and meth ods used have been taught inl our nor matl school these many years. There is nothing specially new or original in the work, but a sensible use of well knownt principles and methods byi a superintendent who has the power a'nd the ability to adapt themit to the schools of the town. Colonel Parker is doing a good work, and is sustained by the committee ill doing it; and the 1eople have come to such a knowledge of the results accomtplisied as to appreciate the imlitdls aid the work of the super inten(lent and teachers. The sa1me might be done in other towns, by a good superintendent Sustained by an intelligent comttnittee. Such a suipef inteldent and committee are nceded1 ill every town."
