The Sons Of Rachns

We're out on e general sleigh, on
last Saturday night, and made mid
night hideous by their yeIls and
orgies. Now do not object to

But when men who call themselves
gentlemen let themselves down to
extreme drunkenness, and prolane
yuIgarities on our streets, and in
public places, such conduct and
language as used on the occasion
referred to, ! think it becomes a
matter Of public concern and de-
mands condemnation. Surely,
these gentlemen would not use The
same language and SO act, in the
presence OF their own families.
Then why do so in The presence
and hearing Of other citizens with
out regard to age or sex Why is
it that our citizens cannot meet
upon any social occasion at Near
thur, without becoming beastly
drunk lask these questions, for
the purpose OF raising this enquiry
in the minds Of these gentlemen,

EMBRYO WAR.

ESIBRYO WAR.
The present status Of ma.ignant
partizan feeling at Washington,
and which is IN fact spreading all
over the country, indicates that We
are on the eve of another reyOlu-
ton. A mere lOoker-on at the sit.
uation and examination Of the tone
of the statesmen and press Of the
times, can cone 10 10 other con
clusion. The European impress
sion IS emphatic OF this matter
The London Times puts it down as
fixed tact Of the future. Upon
this subject, We quote an article
from the Constitutional Union, the
organ OF President Johnson, at
Washington, which shows the deep
feeling that's being engendcred.---
In another column We give also an
excellent article, under The head Of
"lhe State Of the Country from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, which is
characteristic Of the good sense Of
that paper. The Constitutional
Union, Of the 18th inst, says 0l
Administrations
III necessary. its strong arm and iron
hand will bc invoked 10 stay the course and
prevent the contamination OF Radical trca-
son. The great oath of the President to
protect aud dcteud the Constitution will
!IUt be forgotten, aud the people who SiIs-
tain him with their 6Oo,GpO majority Of the
voting population NurtlI AMI south, will
not forget him. Events have already
brought the Government 20 the very verge
OF another revolution. If .Ac Radical ma
jOrlty in Congress pursucs its reasonable
course mU,h longer. the Government. In
Ordcrto sustain itself, will have to arm its
supporters. At the cal, ,of the President,
ali bis friends, North aud South, and the
army aud navy, will respond.
IN such 4 contest. the issue can not be-
doubtful. CongresSmcn may be valiant
fighters on the ilOOr OF Congress. but
'
20 che field, twill be another thing. The
real armies and great soldiers of the Re
public will be found lighting under the
Hag. We advise the opposition of the tie
termned ana fixed fact that Andrew John
son will serve out his COnstitutiOuaRtcrm
Of Office"
If such is the determination of
the President, We congratulate him
and the country on the stand he
has taken. Firmness in the Exec
utive would soon put ii stop to the
Radical tomfoOlery about impeach-
mem, and other revolutionary de.
signs about which the country is
kept in a ieyerish and fretful con
ditlon.
Mr.. johnson must be deposed
and the Supreme Court reconstruc-
ted; the Southern States must he
regarded and treated as conquered
provinces, and the control thereof
put in the hands Of the negroes
such is the Radical programme.--
As Mr.. johnson is first in the way
he must be first gotten rid of; but
ifthe Constitutional Union speaks
by authority, Mr.. johnson does not
mean to be disposed Of in the way
proposed by Ben. Butler, Ashley
& Go. lie does not intend that
the Rump Congress shall play the
dictator over him. Our Washing
ton correspondent speaks of il Con
gressional co,p dctat on the ,Presi-
dent, We judge from the tele-
gram above that Mr. Johnson will
not be caught mapping; and that
the coup fetat may be on the 9TH

The Law requires The County Super.

to the Stale Superintendent of the
statistics and general condition of the
schools within his county. From these
Is compiled the Annual Report. This re-
port, though valuable and interesting as
presenting the view of The whole State,
Of necessity cannot enter into the particu-
lar condition and wants of the several

Each district, town, city and county has
right and ought to know toe exact con
dition Of each and all of their schools.
The effect of such knowledge will be ex-

complete, because it covers only portion
of tie year, and even SO far as that part
of the year is concerned it is imperfect,

SUPERVISE N OF SCHOOLS.


The law requires the Superinte ndent to
visit each school at least once each term
It is pre-supposed that the visit will be of
some practical value. otherwise he might

to the county. Most of our schools ought
to be visited at least twice during the term.
frst to see that the school starts right. and
the second time a; the closing examination,
1t often happens hat a teacher makes a
slight mistake at the beginning, which, be
fore the close, becomes very serious matt
ter, but which might easily have been
recti6ed through a timely suggestion.
The Superintendent should endeavor to
stimulate and encourage both the pupils
and teachers to more vigorous and sue
cessful efforts; he should also endeavor to
secure the cooperation of the pations Of
the school, by conversation sud public ad-
dresses. The time is not far distant when
the entire labor of an efficient educator
should be employed in advansing the in
terests Of our schools. There is no reason
why our schools should not rapidly rise
to as high a grade as any in the country.
Indeed, with the improved class of teach
ers, whose services we can now commend,
We have reason to expect it, provided pa
rents will do their part of the work. 1t
is true that il will take time to secure =
large class OF advanced pupils. but what
is intended is that our school should be
as efficient and succsssful as those of any
other part of the country. It is our pur-
pose, SO far as practicable, to visit each
school early in. the term and address the
parents and friends upon their duties and
responsibilities, with reference to the well
fare OF the rising generation.

THE FIVE BEST SCHOLARS.


In some of our cities prizes are offered
in each school as stimulanls to greater ef-
fort. This is indeed an old and time
honOred custom. The result of such
siimulants is a vigorous struggle between
a few of The very best scholars. and there
by high degree Of culture is secured to
few. With perhaps sacrifice of health,
while the great mass Of the school is un
affected. In several schools of this coun
ty the following proposition has been
made: 1t is announced in the early par
of the term, that at the closing examina-
ton the teacher shall announce to the
Superintendent the names Of the five bes,
scholars. to be published with the gener-
al report of the schools. The conditions
of excellence shall include puuctualiuy

GENERAL INTEREST.

Upon this point no better evidence can
he adduced than reference to the heavy
taxes so generously voted by our people for
the support of school interests. That in
terest which reaches the poke! may be
considered of real value. The pocket is
generally nearest the heart. The origi~
nal settlers of this county came from all
parts of the country, with diverse man
nere, customs, tastes and ideas, yet they
have strongly coalesced in the sentiment
favoring popular education. Hence among
the first things for which provisions were
made, were school houses. 1t may be
mentioned here. as TACT worthy to be re
membered, that the first school house
erected in this county was built 10 1857.

A Hemorrhage Swindler.

A Fort Wayne (Iud.) correspondent
oil the Cincinnati Gazette cd Inst.) shows
up swindler,> as follows
A young gentleman, with half mill
tary air, made his appearance, and stop
ped at the Ardiue and, like all strangers,
took stroll to view our beautiful city
Before private residence of goody pro-
portions, where two young ladies were
sitting at the window, he was seized with
a hemorrhage. The blood flowed from
his mouth over his Immaculate front :;
then he lay rigid and insensible, the sun
beaming in his face. All hearts were
moved with compassion. A crowd as
sembled. There was hurrying to and
fro. He was carried into the house, phy-
sicians called, who administered proper
remedies, and in time, the pale, interest
ing specimen recovered sufficiently to
give some account of himself. From a
silvery pin on his coat, his pane was dis
covered to be Major Lewis, aud from his
own story his father was General Lewis,
killed at Chickanauga. He himself had
been in the army was wounded nine
times, and now carried bullet in his
heart, which was truth; he had been
confined in Libby Prison, and his uncle
giving out his death had seized his prop.
erty, so that from affluence he was now
poor; he had been to town on business,
and though subject to such attacks he
had dismissed his servant for stealing,
and was now dependent on the tender
mercies of humanity. His family were
Scotch he hoped to 60 to them to die.-
Were there any Scotch here ? So Col.
Humphrey of the 90th Indiana Regi-
ment was sent for and was ready to aid
Scotchman to the last extremity, would
take him to his house, but the gentleman
was sufficiently pleased with present
quarters: Gradually he became much
better ; was ready to entertain and be
entertained; he had a picture which he
exhibited himself ON one side, very
stylish young lady on the other. The
lady, he said, was Miss Dix. "It was
taken in Paris ; a former friend" with a
sigh. So he ran on, making very fine
story, until letter came, and on the
shoulders of honest men be was carried
to the hotel, where every want was sup.
piled, his bills paid /; every one feeling
he could not do 700 much for an old SOL
dior far from home and sick. But he re-
covered very rapidly. Suspicion crept in
"a rumor of the hemorrhage game prac-
ticed elsewhere. 1t soon became patent
that the fellow was an impostor, and
suddenly he decamped. At Defiance he
seemed to have been as successful as
here, but at Toledo he was confronted
with Fort Wayne newspapers, and left,
Ne understand, for Cincinnati. So,
Queen City bellies, let not your hearts be
moved too suddenly at the sight of a
bleeding stranger before your doors at
least until you have sent for a chemist
and Lad the blood analysed.
