Col. TATE,
Now that the excitement Of an
other political campaign is passed and SO.
ciety again assumes mildcr tone, it may
be we'll for us as teachers to write an oc-
casional article for the press thereby gen.
eralizing our mode of teaching, forms Of
discipline &c. &c. One distinguished fea-
ture of the common School System is, that
afford teachers ample time and opportuni-
ty for self culture, without which, much Of
the energy and efficacy of the entire sys.
tenn would be lost ; but while we should
be specially interested in our own improve.
ment, we dare not lose sight Of the part
that the teacher is justly expected to con-
tribute something to the general good -
The teachers sphere of usefulness is not
limited to the district or co immunity in
which he lives; nor is it hemmed in by
geographical lines or technical restrictions
as are the issues eff party. On the other
hand, his influence may extend, widen and
deepen until it shall have reached tho
most remote ramiGcations OF State or Coun-
try, knowing no bounds other than those
prescribed by application. How can this
influence be best exerted, and how can we
accomplish the greatest good in the least
possible time are questions woll worthy
the teachers attention. The means of i'm
proven.ent would appear unlimited as is
the sphere of usefulness, and yet how oft.
en- do We hear teachers pleading incompe-
toncy!
That much good would grow out Of q
reciprocal public correspondence Of teachs
ers no one can doubt, but how this can be
best conducted may be matter Of some
speculation.
Fellow teachers, let us keep The ball
rolling. Offer your suggestions. They
certain J can not fail Of doing same good
Hiuts as to the best mode Of conducting
District Institutes would be gladly read.

The Election c. Judges.

The fact that in almost every instance
where Judge has proved himsclfcarned
and impartial in the admin istration Of JUS
tice, he has beeu re-elccted by the people,
will 90 far to remove some OF tho v ject-
ions to an elective judiciary. ln\ Phila-
deIphia all the old Judges arc reelected,
notwithstanding most Of them were on MI
nority tickets. In the Cumberland dis
;rict, Judge Graham, an able and upright
Jndge,is reelected, notwithstanding he
was opposed by Judge Watts, who stands
descrvcdly high at the Pennsylvania bar,
aud by majority far exceeding that Of
his party. Judge Jordan Is reelected in
the Lycomiug district by very decided
majority, although John w. Maynard,
who stands at the head of the bar in that
county, was a candidate agninst him on
the Union ticket. Judge Long was drop,
ped by the Republican Convention in Ian
caster county, which nominated Mr. Hood
from purely partizan motives The Union
Convention nominated Judge Long ard
the people reelected him. In the York
and Adams district an effort was made to
displacs Judge Fisher by substituting
Thomas Z. Cochrano-buL the former was
re elected by an emphatic majority. In
this district of Dauphin and Lebanon
Judge Pearson is re elected by unanimous
; vote. The only instance where a Judge
has been defeated at the late election is in
the Bucks and Montgomery district, wherc
Daniel Nj. Smyser is beaten by Judge
Chapman, and that result is due to peculi-
ar circumstances. Judge Higgins is re-
= elected in Schuylkill county-Judge Ag-
new in the Lawrance dis,rict-Judge Jones
was not candidate for re election in Berks
and will be succeeded by Warren J. Wood.
ward deservodly eminent as jurist
These facts show that good Judges are
u, properly appreciated in Pennsylvania, and
o shat the people are not disposed to apply
r the principle Of rotation in Office in the
d, Judiciary, when the incumbents are COM
- petent and worthy-fariOf 3' Uni0n.
