A bill comforting certain civil rights upon
Freedmen, passed the House to-day, with the
substitute for the fourth section, by which a
Freedman is allowed to testify and be a wit
ness when party to the record, but not in
cases exclusively between white men. The

Gov. Humphrey telegraphed on the 10th
inst. to President Johnson, that a body of
colored troops attacked and took possession of
q passenger train at Landendale Springs, and
insulted ladies, their officers being unable to
control them. sa.j,
He further says, the Legislature has memo
rallied for the removal of the troops, and are
willing to extend the right Of Freedmen to
testify in courts, il thctroops are Withdrawn.
The President replied that the troops would
be withdrawn when peace and order could be
maintained without them. Measures should
be adopted by the Legislature giving protec-
ton to freedmen and securing their constitu-
tional rights. There was no disposition on
the part of the government to dictate, but
simply to advise the adoption OF policy that
would be beneficial. t,,a'' Sseia5 y i1'"l -

The kindergarten School.

We have been pleased to learn that a Kin
dergarten school is about to be opened in
Portland. These schools have been tried with
great success in all of the large towns and CT
ties in New England, and are fast superseding
the old-fashioned infant school.
In the 'Sold system Of teaching the effect
seems to have been by wearisome routine of
dull, uninteresting, abstract facts, to crush out
of the child all interest in his studies, by close
cctlfinement to his seat, to cramp his physical
nature, and to reduce the child from the glad,
joyous being he naturally is, full of eager in
terest in all created things, to a dull automa-
ton, able to think only in specific way. Ev-
cry one has noticed the operation of the pro-
cess and the gradual dwarfing of the great,
beautiful and wide-awake child of nature into
the DID, stinted forms. But thanks to the spir-
it of progress, the kindergarten has develop
ed a different order Of things.
kindergarten is German word, and signi-
fies Garden of Children, and in this most
expressive of terms is contained, as in nut
shell, the whole system. As gardener treats
his plants, so does the Kindergarten teacher
treat his children, studying most carefully the
character, habits and requirements of each,
endeavoring in each to bring out the hidden
power, and by gentle influences to foster it into
life. U.s. '''
There is no prescribed routine in this
school, but the childs interest is awakened,
and his lessons adapted to himself and his
own requirements. He is assisted to learn
things not as abstract facts, in which he has no
interest, but by a simple course OF reasoning
to ascertain them for himself, and thus by a
judicious development of the faculties God
has given him, his own thinking nature is en-
couraged rather than reprcssed. =
Physical exercise is another important char
acteristic of the school. The lessons are col.
stantly varied by calisthenic exercises and har
monious games set to mmsic, SO that another
| requirement of nature may be fulfilled, ant
the soul and body may grow together in har
monious unity.

CAUTION To DISCHARGED SoLDIERs.-A
Vermont contemporary says the country is at
present flooded with circulars of bogus claim
agents located at Washington, who promise an
additional bounty to all men enlisted in 1861
and 1852 The way they swindle is to write
to men for their discharges, for the purpose of
are inveigled into transmitting them in due
time receive a circular stating that their claim
is allowed, and the soldier may have his extra
bounty, by remitting the stipulated fee-S25;
this will be the last of the game. All soldiers
should bear in mind that the government has
already paid all the bounty authorized by law.

They offered to furnish the agent with valid
claims against the United States for arrears of
soldiers pay and bounty, to the amount of half
million of dollars, and to allow the agent fifty
percent. of the whole for collection The claims
placed in his hands, appeared to be genuine,
but he being an honest man, consulted the ac-
counting officer on the subject, and the fraud
was traced to clerk named Drecker, who had
the recording of these claims, and an outsider
named Robe. .fVI
