GRADING OF SALARIES ACCOR-
DING 10 QUALTFIcATIONs.-One tea
cher can accomplish, and frequently
does accomplish two, three, or even
four times as much, in the same time,
rs another. There are. probably few
callings, n professions, in which the
is 50 great Il difference; and yet, in ma
ny districts, directors overlook this i'm
portant fact, and pay old and young,
scholar and ign0ramus, the same salary.
Two teachers arc employed, perhaps in
adjoining schools. One has taught sey-
eIal years and possesses skill and fine
scholarship. The other is a boy, or
girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, teach
ing for the first time and just scholar
enough to get the worst certificate issu-
ed. Both, however, are paid the same
salary. Such instances are still conf
mon in the county, and directors by
this miserable policy, have done the
school sy5temimmenscinjury. If they
pay boys and girls as much as men and
women; if they value extreme youth,
bad scholarship, and total ineXperience
as highly as mature age, good scholar
shipand longeXperience, they put mcr-
it at a discountand offer a premium for
ignorance. The poorly qualified teach
er has no incentive to improve, ant the
well qualified will seek employment in
other districts, or in other counties,
where they are better appreciated,
In some districts, however, differ
ent course is pursued and with the best
results. Teachers are paid according
to theirqualifcations. Difrerentmeth-
ods of doing this prevail in different
districts. In some districts, the best
teachers are put into the most impor-
tant schools and paid more than teach
ers Of those less important. In others,
q certain price per month IS paid for
certificates that average 2, a smaller
price for those that average 3, and 50 on
through all the grades. Others fix a
maximum price per month for No.
certificates, that is, for certificates that
add up s, or have / in each OF the eight
branches marked at the examination,
and then deduct 30 cents per month for
each unit that the certificate adds up
more than S. Suppose for example the

EXCELLENT!

Secretary Seward seems to have got
some sense at last. If he and his Alb
clifton co-adjutors had 3ctc,l upon the
theory which he laid down in his recent
Auburn speech, there would never have
been any civil war and the Secretary OF
State might have lived out his lease OF
life, with an unbroken jaw. Bat 'bet-
ter late than never" is a maxim that
Is sometimes applicable TO the repen-
tance of political sinners, Is web IS to
that of persons hOseshorL-oomingf atc
of q graver character. In MIR. ScWarfs
case it will answer very we'll, and as we
doubt not he has passed through fires
sufficiently hot to purity him, weaccept
his repentance as sincere. His remarks
at Auburn, upon the fraternai relations
between the people Of the North and
those of the South, are truly excellent.
After speaking of turbulence in the
South, he turns to his former friends
and admirers in toe North, with this
sharp rebuke:
Manifestations 9f doubt. distrust
elimination, contemLT of defiance, in
the loyal States, are equally injurious,
and equally tend TO de.9y the work of
reconciliation. How than shall it be
fastened reply virtually, in the Ian
guage of the Presideut-in the spirit OF
the constitution and in harmony, MOI
only with our politics, bul with our re-
ngion-"We must trust each other. y
(Applause. Can we net trust each
other? Once we were friends. We have
since been enemies. We arc friends a.
gain. Renewedapplause. But, wheth-
er in friendship or in enmity, in peace
or In war, we are and can be nothing
else to each other than brethren.

RECONCILIATION.

Before the war broke out, the Dem
ocratic party was in favor of reconci-
ling the opposing sections of the coan-
try. During the progress OF the war,
the Democracy va.lnly strove to calm
the raging elements. When the war
eila9 4, tide to their principles, the
/" mo rats again urged upon the adj
mi .iistrati0n at Washington, the sub
time christian policy of reconciliation.
There was tumult in the land and q
howl for blood went up from the beasts
in human shape, who had reveled in
the carnage of the four years just gone
by Political ha red was not yet sated
and every petty minion Of the partyin
power, clamOred for vengeance upon
the heads Of the Southern people. But
| the voice OF the Democracy shouted in
theears Of the ans sry multitude, "Peace,
| Be Still! !" That voice WINS heard in the
White House at Washington, and the
Presidential ear, as it caught the deeT
! diaDasOn. recoo1 lizcd in it something
! OF the olden time, which the Presiden'
tial tongue itself had uttered. 1t was
like the flflmeIIt of prophecy. Itwas
the ror popmi, a'0r Del, to which the
President listened and which he felt
| constrained TO obey. Thus is the doc,
! trinc OF the Democratic party vindica-
ted. litter years Of acar, it still remains
| for coaeiIiatiO1a and pacific measures to
! restore the Union. Al last the Federal
Administration has been compelled to
/ step upon the Democratic platform and
/ to expose before the world, the error
E. and bIindnessof those men who believe
in subiugation, confscation and gener-
al damnation as the proper restoratives
Of Southern loya.ty and Unionism. II
matters not, therefore, that the Democ-
racy occasionally fail in carrying elec-
lions. The prirciple- ior which they
contend, still live, in spite Of the de
feat Of the organization. To-day those
principles are made the very corner
stone Of the restoration. of the Union
/ BY tie same men who bat Il short time
| ago cndeavored 10 strike them down
| Be Of good cheer, Democrats! Trutl
is mighty and must prevail!
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1865-10-27

TIE President Of the United States
has adopted the Democratic idea Of the
indestructibility Of the States that is,
that the states composing the Federal
Union cannot destroy themselves, or
commit suicide, nor can the Federal
Government destroy them. Secretary
Seward made speech at Auburn, n.
Y, q few days ago, in which he defend
ed this doctrine. Verify, ''politics make
strange bedfellOws ~ The Secretary OF
state said, in this speech, Of President
Johnson'5 Restoration policy, that it
recognizes not the destruction, nor e.
ven the subversion Of States, but their
active existence; and it reasons from
facts as they are, not from assumed or
possible changes 10 be effected by con-
tinual war, mEch less does it reason
from mere chimeras.'
Go it, Seward. So tar, 50 good!
