Mr.. ATLEE's ADDaEss The Teachers Asscci.
alton met, according to public notice, in the Smith
sonian Institution on Saturday. After the half
hour devoted to organization and deadifory debate,
Mr. Alice Rad the essay previously requested by
the Association, on the Importance of introducing
the science Of government, particularly as set
forth In the National aud State Consultations Of
the Union, as a rudimentary exercise into our
schools.
The reading Of the essay occupied about three.
quarters Of an hour, and exhibited great historical
research. The regulations Of various nations for
promulgatng the first principles Of government
were described It appeared that provisions for
this purpose had been made by the Jews, Spar,
tans. Athenians, Romans, Chinese, Hindoos, and
Mohammedans, and the Importance thereof had
been recognised by other nations. In this Re-
public no provision had ever been made, and many
arguments were used for the establishment of sim
liar systems.
The essay was received with great favor by the
audience; and q very interesting discussion arose
which, at the Adjournment was ordered, by unan-
imous vote, to be renewed at the regular session
in November.
A vote Of thanks to Mr.. Alice was, with like
unsnimity, adopted,
Tar SABBArH.-How mach better IL would be
for those boys and young men who, on yesterday,
amused themselves near the corner of 18th and b
streets and in the reservation near by, if instead
ofs linz Lcr a \
boister0us play, they would attend the Mission
Sabbath School, in that vicinity, and learn the les
sons OF true wisdom that are there impaired
They would there learn how to respect themselves
and obtain and retain the respect of Others and
they would never, no, never profane the Sabbath
day.
BLACK MAIL.--We understand, on good author
ity, that seven hundred dollars were levied on the
clerks in the Pension Office, on Saturday last, for
electioneering purposes. What a desperate set
of fellows these miscalled g Democrats are. Well,
desperate cases require desperate remedies. 1t Is
life or death with them. We think the disease is
too deep-seated, however for even these desperate
means to cause favorable issue.
