Perjury.

No one at oil conversant with our courts OF jus
tice, but must have been struck with establishment
with the careessness and wickcdness with which
witnesses testify, with the solemn oath of God
resting upon them. And this not in few isolated
instances, but in large majority of the hotly con-
tested cases. 1t has absolutely become dangerous
to go to law, with case ever so good, If il de-
ponds upon human testimony. Making testimony
has become a regular trade aud business, and the
testimony is shaped to the case, not the to the
testimony The property and rights ofindividuals
sworn away with reckless effrontery that puts
all decency 10 shame, and makes every by-stander
remble in his shoes lest be should be the next VIC
tin, to this black hearted villany. This state Of
things is greatly promoted and in some measure
brought about, by race Of housing, sneaking, I'M
principled, vainous pettifoggers, who worm them
selves into law suits, and acquire reputation for
shrewdness and cunning, and for preparing case
well, simply from The fact that means too
base for them TO employ, and If proof is wanted
they make IL. No one who was present during the
recent sitting of our County Court forget the
instances of deliberate perjury there developed.
And this new thing. Yet how uncommon
It is 10 hear Of prosecution for perjury The crime
has become common and respectable, that it
hardly excies passing notice. This should not
be- Even-handed justice should be dealt out to the
men who will swear away their neighbours rights
and call down Divine vengeance upon their own
heads Each act Of unpublished perjury is the pro-
life parent of multitude of others. The safety of
the community, and the purity and responsibility
Of our judicial tribunals, demand that the arm of
justice should no longer sumber, but should fall
with ponderous weight upon the guilty criminal
A few examples OF condign punishment would do
much to drive this oul-polluting, right-invading
crime from our Courts. Unless something is done
to stop the spread of this awful contagon, il will
soon be mockery TO call Courts Courts Of jus.
tiee. We may with as much safety and greater in
nocence, 60 back to the primitive usages of our
Saxon fore-fathers and entrust the settlement of
contested rights to the chance decisions of the fiery
ordeals-the red hot iron and the boiling wa,er-as
to seek their adjustment in courts of Justice where
the palm Of victory is carried off, rather by the
most barefaced perjury than by The merits of the
cause.
We trust that prosecuting officers, and all con.
cerned in administrative justice will be aroused to
full sense of the duty that rests upon them, Of
indicating the character of our Courts, Of protect
ing the rights and property of individuals, and Of
advancing the public morals by bringing the whole

ave cslI be a.lenllon Of parenl., teaehers, and

rive call the attention Of parents, teachers, and
school committees, to the following communication.
We have often spoken favorably OF "Greenleaf .
Improved Grammar but our correspondent hav-
ing had much experience in teaching from the
same, and being graduate Of Yale College, his
opinion will have greater weight than that Of those
who have merely examined the work, and never
witnessed its practical effects That the use Of this
book is great saving Of time and expense, admits
not Of doubt. And time, says DR.. Franklin, is
money.--ED.l
GREENLEAF'S GRAMMAR.
Mr. EDIToR, SIR,--A few evenings since
had the pleasure of visiting a class taught in
Guilford by the author Of the Improved Gram
mar. There were twenty-five present, and
among them was pleased TO notice several
teachers, male and female, who attended to be-
come acquainted with the method of teaching.
There is quite an interest excited upon the
subject in the vicinity, and il is to be hoped
that Mr. G.. will continue his instructions in the
neighboring towns, for surely no branch Of ed
ucation is more important than the correct use
of our own native language.
As to Greenleaf's Grammar, in point OF the
ease and rapidly with which knowledge may
be obtained from il, | think il far superior to
any thing Of the kind ever published in this
country. This opinion is formed after some
experience. Having employed the work in
public schools, have found that scholars who
used il made rapid progress with little or no
difficulty on their own part or that of the teach
err, whereas every one knows that Grammar as
usually taught, is one of the most perplexing,
irksome, and interminable Of all studies, lnso-
much that comparatively few scholars become
respectable grammarians, and teachers them
selves, according to the testimony of examin-
ing committees, are very deficient in this quail
i6cation. If the Improved Grammar affords a
remedy for this evil, surely il is worth while
for those interested in public instruction to at
tend to the subject.
The work is so brief and comprehensive, and
the materials so we'll arranged, that the essen
iial paris are presented TO the eye al one view,
and the youngest scholar can have no difficulty
in readily finding any rule or definition. Any
teacher can employ the work, simply by follow
ing the directions given in it. BY this method
Of learning, the study 10 rendered so pleasant,
and the time so much abridged, that adults,
even business people, frequently engage in II.
The writer himself has taught about a thou
sand persons in the cities and principal towns Of
New Englaud-several hundred in Springfield
the past winter, hundred in a single class, all
reciiing and parsing in concert, and attending,
in their course of lessons, not only 10 the rules
of grammar but their practical application in
speaking, letter-wriing, and composition. The
classes have uniformly made rapid progress, and
expressed the highest degree of satisfaction
with the method OF instruction.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT..

The Postmaster Generals Report, from
which we make few extracts. In reference
to the financial affairs of the department he
says
The total transportation Of the mail by horse
and in stages, railroads and steamboats,, for the
year ending the 90th June, lS4s, supplying
i4,l0S post Offices at the cost OF $2,9Ss, 55l !;
was IS, 400, ga miles, exceeding The Transport
tation for the year lS4l by AIS, 100 miles.
The income OF the Department for The year
ending the SOth June, 1914 was as follows:
Letter postage, SS,676,16I So
Newspaper postage, 549,743 So
Fines, 1856 90
Miscellaneous receipts, lI,245 Al
Total revenue reported, $4,2S7 1855 50
The total amount of expenditure settled and
paid for the same period is $4,296,S67 10
He urges further legislation by Congress for
the protection Of the department sin the exer-
else of its legitimate functions"
He also refers to resolution of the last Con.
gress upon the interchange of mails with other
countries:
Congress, at the last session. passed res
oluton authorizing the Postmaster General to
enter into regulations with certain Govern
ments for the interchange of mail matter and
the prepayment Of postage on letters to and
from the respective countries. Not having The
means appropriated which would enable me TO
send an agent 10 Europe to make the necessa-
ry Investigations and preliminary arrangements
TO carry into effect the intention of Congress,
the only mode which sremed practicable or
likely 10 accomplish the purposes Indicated, was
to avail myself of the kind offices of some of
our resident ministers abroad. To two of
them, Mr. Everett in London, and Mr. King in
Paris, addressed communications and submit
ted certain propositions, with. request that
they would submit them, in the mode most ac-
ceptable 10 themselves, The Post Office Depart
ments of the two Governments, copies Of which
accompany this report.
From Mr. King Ihave received commune
cation, informing me that he had submitted the
project TO the Post Office Department Of France,
and he had reason 20 believe that this, OF some
mode like ii, would be acceded TO by that Gov
eminent.
A more simple arrangement could be made,
if the Postmaster General was vested with
power To execute and issue stamps 10 be used
on foreign letters, and authorized 10 exchange
stamps or purchase them from foreign Govern
menls. II, during the session of Congress,
shall be informed of the favorable result of the
proposition submitted, shall submit to you,
TO be communicated to that body, further
communication with The plan in detail, suggest
ing such legislation as may be deemed necessa-
ry TO carry il into effect"
