An CODE" TO THE RED MANA Den

tic code onto the friendless." There is
truth in it, if there isn't much poetry:
Noble red man Of the plains, pouDcing
on unguarded trains, whence yol come
and whence you 60, Sherman's scouts
would ike to know. Burning here and
scalping there, east and west and every
where, prowling like the tiger cat, night
and day along the Platte, stealing boldly
at your will, all along the Smoky Hill,
first you come in parties small, now in
numbers that appal, spreading death and
devastation, robbing ranches, burning
stations, such persistent visitation does
not claim our admiration. Mr.. Lo, BOW
quit your tricks, surely you'll get in a
fix; now just stop those ugly capers, or
We'll send you to the Shakers. If our
boys start on the scout, surely they will
wipe you out; go, bold red man Of the
West, here your stay is short at best, go
and hunt the buffalo, we can spare you,
Mr.. Lo.

: GENERAL GRANT.-During the darkest
perion of the war the eyes of loyal
men turned instinctively upon General
Grant Out of defeat he organized tri-
umph; and under his leader ship the
Union was saved. So now, when civil
liars fail, the eyes of Republicans are
fixed upon him, in confidence that his
wisdom and tenacity will carry the
country safely through the ordeal that is
upon it. In this confidence we largely
share. Our trust arises not SO much
/ from what Gen. Grant has said as from
what he has done. He is man rot
given to speech. lie is parsimonious of
professions. What he means he does
not proclaim i'll rhetorical phases, or any
form Of words whatever. His meaning
has to be interpreted oHt of his doings.
In these he has given eminent satistac-
tion to those men whose combined eff
forts saved the Union.
|. We do not purpose to take Gen. Grant
exclusively or mainly because he is avail
able, We should esteem it the depth of
degradation for the Republicans to nomi-
nate him for the Presidency except upon
the just understanding that he is cordial
ly with them in all essential features of
their policy; so that his election could
properly he regarded as the success there
of. Nor are we willing in matter of
this sort to rely on infercnccs ard conjec-
lures. There must be no unworthy abate-
ments in the platform of doctrine, and
there must be certainty that Gen. Grant
concurs heartily i'll it.
Gen. Sheridan recently electrified the
Republicans by the announcement that
his course as Military Commander OF the
district composed of Louisiana and Texas
was not only inspired, but dictated by
General Grant. it would be unfair to
infer there was an affectation of modesty
on the part of Gen. Sheridan in thus dis
claiming honors his fellow citizens were
ready to bestow upon him, and pass them
over to the account of another Moreo-
yer, this declaration of General Sheridan
comports with what ever else is known
of the leanings and conduct of General
Grant and sheds flood Of light on some
matters of importance which were pre-
viously involved in uncertainty.
. In view, therefore. of the situation as
it is now presented, we welcome the
movement in Behalf Of Gen. Grant upon
the recognized and honored principles of
the Republican party; believing that
with him at the head there will be a
steady and prompt movement for the
complete reconstruction of the Union, on
IA basis that shall promote the ends Of
public justice, ensure the tranquility of
all sections, bind the different States to-
gether again in one heart and one mind
for the accomplishment of the great des-
tiny that awaits them.

tend the public examinations from
consciousness I presume of their unfit
ness to teach. but have offered them
selves and been employed as teachers,
through the inexcusable carelessness or
neglect of the District Board to satisfy
themselves of their legal qualifications.
OF course, such teachers are not sue
cessful. Difficulties occur, and the
teacher is discovered to be without le-
gal authority. The Superintendent is
then besieged by both teacher and Dis
trict Board with petitions to grant dis
trict license, without examination or re-
gard to qualifications; to be dated back
20 the commencement of school in or
der to legalize the whole transaction.
and save both the teachers wages and
public money. Such neglect on the
part of the District Board is without
excuse. The law is plain and explicit
upon that point. The District Board
has authority to contract with and hire
only legally qualified teachers. A con-
ract with any otheris worthless, and
any .clerk who shall draw an order
upon the treasury for the payment of
wages of a teacher not legally quail
fed, and any director who shall coun-
tersign such order, is liable to heavy
fine But such cases are not frequent,
and such teachers are not recognized
by the profession as belonging to
their fraternity. AS a class our teach
ers are honest and faithful. From the
opportunities which I have had of cul-
tivating their acquaintance, can with
pleasure bear testimony to their high
social and moral standing their APP
probation of the Importance of their
work, and the honesty, integrity and
faithfulness with which they have dis
charged their duties. Our intercourse
has uniformly been pleasant. My sug-
gestions frankly given and kindly re-
ceived.
Upon the whole, progress has been
made inthe right direction. Our schools
are better attended, and in better con-
dition. Our teachers are better quail
flied and more efficient. Our district
officers are beginning to realize their
share Of the responsibility, and a pro-
gressive public sentiment manifested.
In conclusion, I desire to acknowl-
edge the uniform kindness and courtesy
of the people while visiting the differ
ent portions of the county in the dis
charge of my official duties, and to the
newspapers Of the county for their ready
and willing cooperation in all meas
ures designed for the improvementand

How % Get d Husband.

From an excellent communication,
published in the Columbus (Miss.)
Mder of June 5, we copy the follow
ing, "exptessly for, the girls"
Being old; and therefore allowed
license for teasing the girls on matri-
monial subjects, l consult them about
their future prospects often, and find
that the opinion obtains with them
that the young men were never so slow
in proposing as in these days.. which,
we must admit, gives them d good, not
to say all-powerfhl reason for not tax
ing d husband. Now, young ladies,
the whole secret with nine-tenths of
you, of not being able to get Off your
parents hands, is simply that you
don't know how to work. You can't
keep house. You can't make a pair of
breeclies! You can't tell, for the life
of you, the difference between bran
and shorts, or Which t6w gives the
buttermilk. The young men generally
came out of the war "with the skin Of
their teeth," with h5 fortune, l might
say, but their wardt6bes Of gray and
their canteens, and to marry with them
now, rest assured, relates more to
making living with the assistance of
a loving, industrious help-mate, than
indulging in opera music, moonshine
and poetry. Do you know what they
say of one of your butterfly young
ladies who has held them in the parlor
engaged by the hour listening to "ele-
giant nothings?" Nineteen times out
Of twenty it is this: "Well, she is all
right for an evenings entertainment,
but she will not make good wife,"
There is no possible objection to the
accomplishments OF music, painting,
and the like, as such, but the idea is to
be able to set these parlor amusements
aside for the period when the stern
duties of married life call for your
practical knowledge. Show the young
men that you can do your part of
doublc business that you can cook a
meals victuals on pinch that you
can sweep up. and dust, and darn old
stockings, and save penny toward an
accumulated pound; that you will not
be a dead expense to him through life.
Relieve me,young friends,as many true,
heroic, womanly hearts beat over
household duties as hutter beneath the
soft light Of a parlor chandelier. Your
kiss is just as sweet, your smile just as
bright, your heart as happy and tender,
after a days exertion in sphere wor-
thy Of true womanhood, as in places of
dissipation, frippcry and silly amuse-
ment. Have an ambition to do your
part in life, cultivate industrial habits
and let the parlor accomplishments 60
with the higher accomplishments
which | have roughly enumerated. 1t
is astonishing how soon a domestic
young lady is found out and appreci-
ated. 1t is because she is such rare
exception to the general rule.

whether there is anything in the prin-
ciples or policy of the party they rep
resent to commend them to the especial
admiration of Republicans or indie
pendent men. Nor, on the other
hand, does the record ofthe Republican
party or its candidates warrant the
extraordinary denunciation lavished
upon them. Nationally the party has
saved the republic from absolute de-
struction, has abolished slavery and
enfranchised a whole race of petple.
In State affairs it has reduced both tile
debt and the taxes at the same time.
Under such circumstances the man
who deserts his principles to vote for
a Democratic candidate upon any of
The groands now assumed by our op-
ponents need blame no one but himself
if, after the election, he shall find that
he has contributed his share towards a
copperhead reaction.
For our own part we see no more
to regret in the general character Of
the Republican nominations than we
see under all circumstances in the
nominations of all political parties.
In the main they are good. They are
no better and no worse than usual.
But the man who looks into Democratic
tickets to find better candidates must
have an amount of faith in that rotten
organization that we do not possess.
1t would, indeed, be amazing if Dem
ocratic tickets should be better than
Republican ones, knowing, as we do,
that a large portion of the intellect
and the moral worth of Pennsylvania
is to be found in the Republican ranks.
The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1867-09-25

In 1864 the platform of the Cop
perheads of Pennsylvania announced
the bold falsehood that "the war as
waged by the Government for the sup
preston of rebellion was a failure
and asked the North to admit that the
traitors were not only right, but the
stronger in military resources and
powers, and that hostilities should
cease. Now that we have whipped
the rascals, the same Copperhead dema-
gogues insist that the rebels incurred
no penalties, but are entitled to all
honor. Soldies vote as you fought,
and you will vote to defeat these ma
chinations.-Hdr. Ide. lf

THE ISSUE.

Was the war right? This is the
whole issue before us, stripped of all
incidental and outside matter. Ifit
was, we do not want and will not have
its effects and consequences construed
away. This is now the objective
point towards which the Democrats
are tending under the lead of Judge
Black, and to this end they are attemp-
ting to fill our courts with lawyers of
the strict or Calhoun construction
school. Woodward tried to construe
away the draft. Sharswood attempt
ed to construe away our national cur
rency. Black boldly decided that the
nation had no power to defend its own
life. So it goes. Step by step they
undermine all that we have been liv-
ing and fighting for since 1776, and if
let alone, in short time would have
us repudiating every idea or semblance
ofnationality. These men, too, are
conscientious in their heresy. Calhoun
could not have been more so, and
therein is the great danger. If we
believe that our war was right, that
our soldiers died in good cause, aud
that our baypnets CLEANED through
Georgia constit,,iicnally, then we must
avoid, yea, spurn all men who consci-
entiously believe the war to have been
wrong, and pronounce it, when they
would excuse it, an error and mistake.
There is no half way ground on this
question. You must vote for Williams
and constitutional war, or Sharswood
and an unconstitutional war.-Phila.
