which will open at the Normal School
building on the 9Th of September.
We are truly gratifsd at witnessing
this new evidence of energy and enlight,
ened public spirit On the part of the au-
thorities of the Normal School. They
seem to be interchangeable in their efforts to
promote educational advancement. Un-
der the charge of the present Board of Di :
rec;ors aud Instructors, the School has
made such progress as its most enthu ii
aslic friends would hardly have deemed
possible two years ego.
The present enterprise is undertaken
for the benefit of those teachers who de-
sire to learn something of the Normal
methods of instruction, but are unable to
pursue a regular course of study at the
Normal School. There are many such in
all parts of the State;-young men and
women depending wholly on their own
resources. looking to teaching as a tenn
porary or permanent occupatic o, often well
versed in the kHowledgsof the text books.
but unskilled in the practical work of in.
struction. To such this Institute will
prove peculiarly valuable. It will give
them multitude of hints, suggestio rs.
and new ideas, which 10 future can be
worked up into available results. None
of these who can possibly be present, can
afford to miss the oppor tunily.
we are very well aware that "teachers
Institutes as ordinarily conducted. con
fer but little benefit upon their mem6er5.
The blind lead the blind. The drill exer-
cises, the essays, the resolutions ale too
often unmeaning and weak. os
We feel sure that matters hers will be
on a very different footing. Profs, Rell,
ogg and Norton are teachers who will dc
strong, significant work. There will be
meaning, purpose, practical value, in every
part of the programme. We can promise
to all who may attend. an experience which
will work lasting good to their profess
ioual career.
The expense will be measured by the
cost of coming and going. Instruction
aud the use of books will be free. All
members ofthe Institute from abroad will
be entertained by our citizens free OF
charge.
We heartily commend this enterprise
to the consideration of the public, and
would especially bsspeAk the attention
and good Offices of our brethren of the
press.

Government from the Cincinnati post

A North Carolina paper says Hon.
Tbaddeus Ste vens. Gen. Farnsworth and
N. B. Judd, all members of the present
Congress, have purchased gold mine
near Charlotte, in that State. The Char
lotte Mint. although 10 good order, still
continues closed. Dr.. Isaac NJ. Jones. of
Sanbury, has been recently appointed
Assayer. and it is expected that assaying
will coon be completed.
1t seems to be settled at last that the
President is only waiting to see his way
clear before removing Gen. Sheridan.
Nothing new has occurred-the open
oppos ton being lille less manifest dur
ing the late session of Congress, though
the leading men in the Union party have
known of the Presidents intention for the
last two weeks. Grant and Stanton have
almost forced the President to keep his
hands off Sheridan, and Gan. Thomas has
protested in writing against the change,
and they may yet prevent it. The cry of
the Presidents hackers is. that Gan. Sher-
idan has insulted both Mr.. Johnson and
Stapberry One additional reason for
desiring present action Is the fear that
Sheridan may remove Throckmorton aud
some other leading Texas rebels.
A Washington special says General
Grant recently remarked that if nomin
ated for the Presidency. it must be with
out exactiOg pledges.

Mr. Ashley on the Impeachment of the
President.

That the Judiciary Committee, when ap-
pointed, be and it is hereby instructed to
continue the investigation authorized in
said resolution Of January Z, 1867, and
that it have power to send for persons
and papers, and administer the customary
oaths to witnesses, and that the commit

which Congress or this House may take.

The report Of the judiciary Committee of
the last House, made on Saturday, is q
sufficient indication Of the action of that
body, of charges looking to the impeach-
ment of the President. 1t is report
which the moral sense of the nation will
approve. 1t is to be regretted that the
committee was not authorized at an ear
lie day to proceed with the investiga-
ton, so it might have completed it and
presented the case for the final action OF
the last Congress. All true men who
have examined this matter impartially
should regret that we have not been able
to act before. But l think may without
hazard express the opinion that there is
no cause for discouragement. The
foundations have been so carefully laid
as that the Vaccinations Of conspirators
and Of their chief, with all the immense
power and patronage in his hands, will be
unable long to stay the doom which
awaits them. 1t is to go in the record OF
this House, and it will go into history
that the people Of the United States will
never permit any President to usurp the
prerogative of the law making power
Nor will they permit any man in the
Presidency to disregard the deliberately

Will permit no man, certainly no man.
