To tEs Editor of the ST. CrOix Avis,


A few vo.us u5v.1 FIR. LvIntosh's Commit
@nicajiou.
This decidedly proficient teacher has come
ont with a Vehcnlauce so snitrIuI against 4
brother teacher that has blinded his good sense
and made him guilty Of the very charge he
brings against him. And | think he has taken
rather a j~eaIous view Of your remark in favour
Of Mr.. Thompsou's ability as & teacher anu
maonifcd it into bis being considered ga pro-
digy for learning and Prince of teachers"
which it does not imply. In his determination
to say something, Nr. Mcintosh declares lIr.
Thompson's article "a complete failure This
can only admit in as far as he has failed to
instifv himself any better than Mr.. Gardin has
done. Both have fa%iled-both have fallen far
short of what ought, naturally, to be expected
of them Mr.. Gardin seeming to spare Mr..
Thompson's feelings by "only briefly saying
that Mr.. Thompson, after having made him
self guilty Of u daring neglect OF duty Though
frequently warned) was at last reprlmanded IN
writing. and called upon to mend his fault, and
that instead of acknowledging his wrong he
wrote an impairment letter in which he chal-
lenged to be discharged - and Mr.. Thompson,
on the other hand passing judgment on himself
bv saving that he "cOuld mention many more
facts to show Mr.. Gardin's oppressive measures
with the teachers, but he retrained from doing
50 as they would appear Incredible" In both
cases we are left in doubt. In Mr.. Gardin's,
whether one is to understand the word imper-
tinent to mean impudence or as it otherwise
signifies; then, in either case, to find out the
style in which the matter contained in Mr.. Gar
din's letter of reprimand is written, before we
can decide whether Shfr. I. did moi write to the
point, or whether he wrote impudently. Mr..
Gardin does not say, however, whether this
caused his discharge or not. On Mr.. Thomp-

Stay-at-HaOme Republicans will
.L- now Volunteer. M .,-LiI
IFrOm The Chicago Times

tFrom The Chicago Times,l .jH'H
The present condition of the war is very
favorable to the filling of the remainder of
our quotas under the last call. 1t will stim-
ulate volunteering wonderfully to know
that the fighting is about over. Under the
extraordinary combination which affords
high bounties, and a soldering trip with
out any danger of getting hurt, we should
not be at all surprised to see some of our
valorous stay-at-home Republicans enlist
ing for the war. There are great many
of that political firth who are intensely in
favor of vigorous prosecution of the war,
and have only refrained from going them
selves through considerate apprehension
that they might get hurt. We think that
our ward committees may even lower
the bounties and still great many
of these gentlemen will be willing to-
90, so desirous are they Of putting down
rebellion. Let Johnston be disposed OF,
let the last of the rebel armies be swept
from the field, and then, even without the
stimulus of bounties, the patriotism of our
Abolition fellow-citizens would be excess
sive. A quota of almost any size could be
filled at the shortest possible notice. They
would ''rally round the flag" in thousands.
Let the rebels in the South only lay down
their arms and there is not an Abolitionist
in Chicago but would respond with alacrity
to an appeal for men to fill up the ranks.
If Mr.. Lincoln wishes his Republican
friends in Chicago and elsewhere to fill up
the armies, he has only to announce that
the fight is over. BY doing this he can get
one hundred or five hundred or nine hum
dred thousand "more," or just as many
"more" as he wants. There is not an Abo-
Ilitionist in the land but will rush eagerly
forward to shed his last drop Of blood the
moment the rebels quit fighting. There
fore, as the rebels in arms disappear In the
South, recruiting becomes more brisk in
the North. Get Johnston out of the way,
capture Mobile and exterminate Forrest,
and the quotas will all be filled without a
draft % .' rf NlhA ~ t}it lHhi

Suffrage in the Free States.

The following Free States make color Tor
race) the test of voting: New jersey, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Illinoise, Michigan, Iowa,
Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon Kan
sas. Negroes are not permitted to vote in
these States.
The Constitution of Ohio limits the elective
franchise to "every white freeman" but by the
decision Of the Courts of that State, every
person of one-half white blood, is deemed "a
white male citizen" and such are permitted to
vote.
Missouri, by her late Free State Constitution,
excludes the negro from voting.
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
settes, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
permit negro suffrage to greater or less ex-
tent.
In the Constitution of West Virginia, the
privilege of Suffrage was conferred only upon
"white male citizens"

Visit of the President.

Mr. Charles Palmer, one of the committee Of eiti-
zens appointed to invite the President Of the United
States to visit Richmond, has reported the result
of his mission. He says he was very kindly reeeiv-
ed, having been introduced by Secretary Seward /;
that the invitation gave the President uanisest
pleasure, and he expressed both the desire and in
tenton to visit Virginia as also his native, good old
North State, when his public duties viii admit oft.
These two States especially, he said, should have
remained in the Union, and were not fairly carried
out
The correspondent Of the New York Herald is
mistaken in chasing Presidents Harrison and Tay-
Tor among those who were never in Richmond as
Presidents President Harrison was there in Feb
ruary lS4l, and was entertained with large com
pany at the house of his friend, Gen. Bernard Pey-
ton. President Taylor was in Richmond in Febru-
airy, 1850, at the Inauguration Of the Washington
Equestrian Statue, and was entertained at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion by Gov. Floyd, where he gave au-
lienee TO a large number Of ladies and gentlemen.
lie was also entertained handsomely at Fredericks-
burg, where it was admitted on all hands that he
met greater bevy of handsome women, old and
young, than could be produced, in the same number
in any part Of the world.

W.. Prescott Smith.

The Grafton, West Virginia Independent
Enterprise, new and well-conducted journal,
pays the following well-merited and Just tn0-
ute to this gentleman:
The name of WILLIAM PREscoT SMITH has
become synonymous with the success OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, one Of the most
important thoroughfares in the United States.
His suavity of manners, and generous and obi
ging disposition, have made his name "hotse-
hold word" with the travelling public; and, we
venture to assert, that there is scarcely another
man in the United States who has more friends
and fewer enemies than he To his admirable
management. the b. & o. R. R. Co. owe much
of their present prosperity, and we have every
reason to believe that they fully appreciate his
intrinsic merit.
This road. we are happy to say, is now beng
thoroughly repaired, and, for safety, speed, and
general accommodation, has no superior in .he
East.
The company is also erecting at this pllce
n large and commodious engino-aouse, which
will require the labor of several hundred wo:k-
men for months to erect, and, when finished,
will add materially to the appearance of cur
thriving little city.

Confscation.

The Richmond Republic issues Supplements
containing 50 columns Of advertisements, noti-
flying the most prominent men of Richmond &
vicinity, well known to us, Of DEGREES of forfeit
tme, by the District Court Of the United
States for the District Of Virginia, of shares of
capital stock in the several railroads connected
with Richmond, and in the James River and
Kanawha Canal. The parties are notified that
the several causes will stand for trial ON the
18th day Of October next.
The President we believe, has already deci-
ded that his pardon places the delinquent statI
quo. as before the war; and further that there
can be no confscation Of property until after
trial and cORrieiioR for treason. This is good
logic and good law.
Many of the parties whose property has been
Gbelled for confscation have already been par
doned, and viii therefore be enabled TO save
their property; but in the meanwhile the dis
trict attorney, the marshal, the clerk, and TIE
printer, have fat piekings. 1T is an ill-wind
that blows nobody good.

The New York State Democratic Convention

State Engineer-H s. Sweet
Canal Commissioner-Cornelius W. Arm

TrcaSucr-General NJ. r. Patrick.
Attorney General-John Van Buren,
Mr. Robinson, who is the present Comptrol-
Ter, was elected two years ago on the Republic
can ticket, and viii probably be renominated
by the Republicans. Both parties seem dis
posed to rely upon the popularity of military
men.
The following are the most prominent of the
resolutions adopted by the above named Con-
vention:
Resolred, That, as the first fruit of the
triumph [of peace the people demand the
subordination Of military to civil rule, the res
titution of the authority of the courts, and the
recognition of the equality of the States; that
we regard all efforts, either by prolonging mill
tary rule or by denying the right of representa-
ton to States in order to compel them to adopt
negro equality or negro suffrage as an element
of their constitutions, as tending to delay
and prevent the pacifcatiOn of the country,
and to subvert the principles of the Govern
ment and endangcr the liberties of the people.
Resoired. Thatin the plan of President John
son for the speedy restoration of the States
lately in rebellion to their old positions in the
Union, by commencing the work of reorgani-
zation at the point of secession, and confding
it to those then recognized as electors by the
laws of the respective States, leaving the ques-
ton of suffrage where the Constitution places
it, to the future action of the several States VIC
recognize enlightened craftsmanship, sound DO
htical theory, and an old-fashioned, time hon
ored regard for the relations and rights of the
States and the Federal Government, as estab-
hshed by the Constitution, and that we pledge
to the President, in this great work. our cor
dial and energetic support.

Prison Cells.

By some accident the second page Of the ar
ticle last week on the subject Of abolishins the
dark prison cells of the State Penitentiary was
mislaid, and therefore omitted. 1t is now in
serted.
The law was so modified as to require but
few days incarceration in the solitary cells at
the beginning, and the same number atthe end
of the term and even this could be dispensed
with by the Superintendent upon evidence Of
good conduct. Solitary confinement in cell
above ground every night, and from Saturday
evening at sunset until Monday morning, with
the exception ofan hourandaahalfatpreaching
ON Sunday, was deemed sufficient to allow the
culprits, with their bibles, to reflect upon the
hard ways Of the transgreSsor.
In a single year thereafter the improvement
in health and industry was conspicuous among
the prisoners, and the friends Of this amehora-
ton Of punishment had the satisfaction Of wit
Messing good results, both in the moral and f.
nancial condition Of the institution.

A General Amnesty.

Our advices from Washington as to the pro-
bable proclamation by the President, at no dis
tant day, Of an almost general amnesty, are
strengthened by the following paragraph from
the New York Herald. And why should it
not be so? Has there not been a general sub
mission on the part of the South? Although
there may yet be some heart-burnings, and
some bitter remembranees Of the past we be-
lieve the great body of the Southern people,
leaders and all, are glad the strife is over.
True, there is a spirit Of intolerance on the
part Of men who risked nothing, but from the
liberal course Of the President we may expect
all such to be put in the shade, as they always
were, when the contest was the fercest, per-
forming only wind-work, whilst the less pre-
tentious risked their reputation and their lives
President johnson understands all this.
A GENERAL AMNESTY PROBABLE.-The
OpiniOniS confidently entertained mmany quar-
tiers that something approaching general am
nesty will be proclaimed towards the late rebels
Of the South long before the meeting Of next
Congress, and that the public need not be sur
prised at its PRONUNCIATION any day. 1t is ex-
pected TO be made applicable to the people of
particular States at different times. MiSSiSSip-
pi has been foremost among the lately rebellious
in framing an mobjectionable constitution
She may also be the first to reap the reward Of
this extended clemency.
