Publie Observation-Disclosures

The semi-annual examination of the COM

present at all the schools-and really the
citizens of your city may well be proud of
their schools. In them you find the child

the head of the class-the widows sons and
daughters, and the orphan--all have an
equal chance, here, for that greatest boon, a
good practical education.
The Primary Schools, numbering from I

little ones enrolled-and here, Mr.. Editor

the fact when l heard that one of the Teach

The last was adopted by the following

By this table. we see that the New Eng
land States gave majority against the
tariff, while the northwest gave only one
vote against it, out of so votes cast. These
were the days, if we remember rightly, in
which Jacksonian Democracy reigned SUI
preme.
The New England and Southern States
voting together and being overpowered by
the Middle and North western States, had
to conform themselves to the new order of
things. Consequently, New England turn
ed her thoughts to the subject of manufac-
lures and the Southern politicians turned
their attention to the subject of nulli6ca-
ton. Each made rapid advancement in the
direction it then chose and to-day New
England is at the head of the manufacturing
interests, while the southern idea has cul-
minated in secession and a rupture of the
government.
This historical incident is n sufficient
answer to all the Ledger's TRADE about
" scheme for the benefit Of manufac-
turers and iron mongers Il the expense of
the producing classes of the north-west"-
If tariff is deleterious to the agricultural
interests of the northwest, why did
that section of country ever vote for tariff.
If it is anti-Democratic, why did Jackson
recommend, and his followers pass, such an
odious measure? These pertinent inquiries
it would be well for the Ledger to satisfac-
torially answer before it again harps dole
fully over the ruin of agricultural in
terests.'
This much fsr one of the Ledger's mis-
representations. We now direct our atteu-
ton to another.

But | feel sure that they will make good
showing at the party examination.
Mr. Risinger, of the Boys Grammar, and
Miss Clark, of the Girls, have good schools.
They are both laboring hard to fit candi-
dates for the High School. Their scholars
are making fine progress and some of them,
I doubt not, will (if there is anything in
having a good teacher) receive some of those
gold and silver medals that have heard are
to be distributed, or rather awarded, to the
best scholars. Miss Fisher of the Girls, and
Mr.. Leavitt of the Boys Grammar Schools,
in the upper school house, showed some
good classes In fact, they were, as they
always have been, first rate although one OF
the Trustees found some fault about careless
reading. But then, Mr.. Editor, the Trustees

TERRE HAUTE FEMALE CoLLEGE.-On Fri
day evening l had the pleasure of visit to
the Terre Haute Female College, located in
the Southern portion of the city. The Col
lege is an elegant and spacious edifce, sit
uted in the center of 81 acres of ground,
in close proximity to a beautiful grove
The building is lighted by gas and warmed
by steam. Everything about it is of the
latest and finest style. The rooms are large
and airy and well furnished. The house is
surrounded by long and wide verandahs,
where the pupils can exercise in all kinds of
weather The institution is supplied with
musical instruments, library, apparatus,
cabinet, optical instruments, etc, and seems
calculated in every respect for successful
educational establishment. The able and
energetic President, Rev. John Covert, and
the professors, are persons of high reputa-
tions US educators. The musical professors
entertained the company in the reception
room with some inspiring music. After
ward, was conducted to the experimenting
room of Mr.. Bosworth, professor Of chemis-
try and general science. He is a genius
in everything he undertakes. He draws
and colors geological charts, paints ornitho-
logical pictures, makes chemical and OPP
teal instruments, experiments deliberately
in chemistry, and makes careful observa-
tons with the microscope and telescope
and I don't know what he doesn't do, ard
do well.
The writer had the pleasure of making
some examinations of minute objects
through the excellent microscope of the in
stitutiOn, and Of observing the planets Ju-
piter and Saturn, and the nebular in Orion,
through the telescope.
This being an Indiana institution, it
ought to be well patronized from our coun-
ty. A large number of students attend'
but the patronage from our vicinity is not
as good as it should have been. Terre
Haute is healthy and moral place, and
convenient to Evansville, and her female
college deserves to be favorably remember
ed by our people.
