For the Palladium


Ia the Indiana School Journal of the 10Th of
February there is short article written
by A. {. Shortridge, which to IAN outsider APP
pears somewhat mysterious, aud which many of
your readers would be pleased TO have explained,
the article referred to states that about % teach
els had been examined, and after an hours close
questioning in re gard to habits, &c the annouce-
ment was made that the examiners wanted to
know, before retiring TO deliberate, how many
were going to subscribe for the Journal, this
would have u bearing upon the length OF time
for which certificates would be granted" The
first INQUIRY is what habits" does MIR. refer 10
Are they habits" of temperance, self government,
and ability or are they habits of industry that
will cause the possessor to try and earn his salary
by diligence in instructiug his pupils in the arts
or sciences and storing their minds with useful
knowledge?
Query BUD. If an applicant for certi icate
can tell when the moon changes by the almanac
does his or her taking the Joarndi extend or dim
inish the time for which the certificate is granted
if it extends the time how many copies will have
to be taken to render the certificate perpetual.
If Mr. S had been farmer the inquiry would
doubtless have been made, how many potatoes
turnps cabbages, &c, would be bought by the
applicant; or il he had been mechanic he woulC
have taken this opportunity to bring his wares
into notice.
Awaiting an explanation, remain,

Sugar Cane Meeting.

According to previous notice a meeting of
those interested in the cultivation and mauutae
ture Of Chinese cane sugar, was held at the hall
of Fire Company No. ?, on Tuesday last
Samples of sorgho syrup exhibited by sever
al Of our farmers and also by |, \. Hedges, OF
Cincinnati, Ohio.
The principal matter of controversy seemed to
be the superiority of wooden or iron rollers, and
the Hon President remarked that this question
was one that was expected to De determined by
their Investigations 4 committee of three
appointed to examine the observation-disclosures elgh
or ten in uumber-and hear the method OF ma
king discussed and report which was best Al
ter a very careful aud thorough investigation the
first prize was awarded TO Harmon Hill. for mo-
Iasses made Oh wooden mill The second pre-
MUM was divided between Isaac Com uon, aud
William Bulla aud third awarded to ia mel
Clark made on iron mill The samples were all
highly creditabIe aud showed that the interest
will prove successful
Nj Hedges was called upon for speech, AMI
favored the meeting with macn useful aud inter
esting information mixed up with good deal of
trash
He said that heat was the cause OF color. and
that all CRYSTALS were naturally whitehall the
difficulty 10 making sugar Was from the starch
aud gum in the cane-that the amount OF acid IL
cane was hardly perceptibe-that which
had lain for some time produced much richer
Juice than when first cut, the latter showing only
seven degrees by the saccharometer. while the
former was fully ten degrees, because thu dcid ana
starch had been corrsrled into sugar.
Now it strikes us that il the acid exists in such
small quantities as to be imperceptible, and starch
prevents the making of sugar when the juice /;
! expressed that il would be arrant nonsense Il
talk about acid aud starch making sugar Ne
are inclined To suspect that in order TO quiet tht
objection to iron mills of ghich Mr.. Hedges il
a large manufacturer, he found it most convenient
/ to ignore the presence Of acid. The meeting
adjourned late in the afternoon, aai the products
/ Of the wooden mills were victorious.

LATER FROM NORTHERN MEXICO.
THE LATE OUTBREAK AT VICTORIA.

From The hetc OrtsdEF PicdnUne, Nor. TO-
By the schooner Peter NOVEL;, Capt. Waters, ar
rived Yesterday from Tampico, we have adylces from
that port direct TO the 18th ult.
The new steam-tug La Reforma arrived out on the
l4th and from the notice in the Pris0, seems TO have
given general satisfaction.
The principal subject of political excitement at Tam
pico when the NOVEL; left "the conspiracy,
''outbreak" or revolution" at Victoria CITY, OF
which we had brief mention by the last steamer from
the Rio Grande. A thousand rumors were In clrcula-
ton but they leave much in the dark az before
as TO the nature and origin of the movements the more
so that the PrsSma saw fit at the last moment TO sup
press its own account, because, as 1t AYERS, some
dates are wanting" but really we suspect, because
the Government wished TO hush the matter up.
From this and a comparison of the statements before
us il woud appear that "the convicts, so called,
were helped to their liberty by the opposing party;
that they s&erward became unmanageable, and being
opposed in their depredations finally organized them
selves into armed band and proceeded to lay friend
and foe alike under contribution. Several nelghDoring
villages had been visited by them and pundered, be-
side Victoria City; and at last accounts they were
making their way TO the more thickly inhabited towns
of the North.
Whatever however was the nature of the affair, it
seems to have created considerable alarm at Tampco
All the troops dsposabe there and on the sea coast
were Immediately sent up under the command OF COL
Cara, and at last accounts were encamped IN the
vicinity of Victoria where they were TO await fur-
Their instructions. Subsequently park OF artillery
and company of invalids from the hospital were sent
up as reenforcements from all which 1t would appear
that the affair was one OF more Than ordinary ur-
gency. .
In an order of the day, announcing the detection OF
Vidaurri Gen. Degoado says The reactionists have
already raised the cry of JOY at the rebellion of the
leader of the North, believing that it will result in
permanent confusion in our ranks. But IN this they
will find themselves mistaken. Vidaurris detection
will only purify the national cause, while his fall will
prove terrible lesson TO traitors"
The campaign proper, however, would seem to make
no progress The headquarters OF the Liberals was
still al San Luis Potosi no advance had been made,
nor do we hear of any movement of Importance what

THE NEXT SENATOR FROM ONO.

To fhe Editor Of ne N y. Tribune;
SIR: see by The TRIBUNE of Thursday that you
assume it as fixed fact that Gov. Chase Is to be
the successor of Mr. Pugh in the United States Senate
1t may be that you right; hut desire TO say a
few things upon tina. subject before the final vote Is
taken.
II il dfcnl for citizen of another State 10 under
stand the precise relation in which Gov Chase stands
toward the great mass of the Republican voters Of
Ohio
Owing mainly TO the pursued BY bis special
friends in the Ohio Legislature in the session Of 1882
which resulted in his election TO the United States
Senate there was no man in the State who was held
in sueh utter detesaton and adherence by the whole
Wig party of the State as Salmon p. Chase. And
of the 200 00O Republican voters now in the State, al
least l50, coo We're Wings. Owing to this fact, the
nomination of Mr. Chase for Governor in 1855 re-
garded BY many as exceedingly hazardous ex-
pertinent. But the Democracy had been so COM
netey annihated in the election of 1854 that il was
supposed impossible to defeat any nomination the Re-
publican Convention might make.
Resides there strong desire 70 have an ndorse-
ment by the people Of the State of Mr. Chases course
on the Kansas Nebraska BILL which almost unan-
mously approved by the people of all parties.
Iii also tina; many Republicans were willing
TO elect Mr. Chase Governor for the purpose Of show
ing the South that the people OF Ohio would sustain
the most extreme Anti-Sayery views rather than
submit 10 the outrageous breach of faith embodied in
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
After a hari-fought contest, Gov Chase was elected
by a majority Of Is, Isl votes
The residue Of the Republican State ticket was
elected by upward Of 81, 600 votes.
Twenty-four thousand two hundred and seyenty-six
votes for Governor were thrown away upon Alien
Trimble, by men who ndorsed every syllable OF the
Republican platform and would have voted Tor almost
