Por,Iaud school Teachers.

Rumor says. that one of our very accepta-
BILE public school teachers has under consider.
alton proposals to leave Portland, and accent
situation in Massachusetts school. Now
why, it will be asked, should a teacher, whose
services are satisfactory to his patrons in Port
land, leave position here to go to another
State? The old story, of course, of better pay.
Is such a state of things right? Can Portland
afford to have the improvement of her schools
hindered for the sake of saving few hundred
dollars year? Our schools contain as smart
boys and girls as are to be found in any city in
the country; and those schools should be
taught by competent and efficient teachers
But first class teachers cannot be obtained
without fair salaries. Men of business do not
expect to get good bookkeepers, statesmen, and
managers of their business without paying
well for their services; and when they find
that those services are valuable and essential
to the success of their business they do not
hesitate to increase their pay, rather than lose
their services.
Now common sense would say that SINH
lar policy should be pursued in regard to our
schools. The people of Portland do not wish
to have their children taught by incompetent
teachers. They want the best schools that
can be had, and are willing to pay for them If
the services of teachers are valuable to Bos-
ton, why are they not equally so to Portland?
The schools of Boston are much lauded,-
Their great excellence is largely due to the
fact that they employ the best teachers they
can find, and pay them generous salaries;
and when teachers give salts faction, and devel-
ope ability and success, they do not allow
them to go elsewhere because they Can get a
little better pay; but, on the other hand, re-
tain them as long as possible, to have the ben
emf OF their increased skill and experience
The policy of Portland has been too much
that of taking apprentices, and, as soon as
their services become valuable, ALLOWING tbe,,
to leave for other fields of labor, while their
places are filled by inexperienced hands
again at low salary. In other words we
train teachers for other people, to give them
the benefit of it. Such policy is certainly
penny wise and pound foolish"
Now, tax payers of Portland who wish to
get the worth of the money you pay for the
support OF schools, are you not willing to sus-
tain the city government, and the school
committee, in employing good teachers for
our children, and in retaining them by ayipg
them for their services as well as people are
paid in other departments of labor? So
thinks TAXPAYER AND PARENT

Senator Hendricks seems to have no disin-
clination for official honors. He is now Unit

to that position; candidate for Governor. for

being nominated for President. What a pre-.

LIABILITY OF COMMON CARRIERs.-The i'm
bortant case of FL. G. Ely and Sawyer VS..
New Haven Steamboat Company has been
decided by the United States Circuit Court
ard as the principles settled are of great i'm
portance to persons engaged in mercantile
pursuits we publish the following abstract
of the case:
This was an action growing out of fire
wnlcn, on the morning of the 9Th of july
1866, destroy ed the pier of the defendants in
New York, together with quantity of me--
chandise which had accumulated upon it.
Ii appeared on the Sd of July, 1866, certain
tanners In Massachusetts delivered to the
Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company
az Springfield, aquantity of leather in rolls
OF the value of about $2,418, addressed to the
plaintih, No. 2, Jacob street New York. to
Whom II was sent for sale on commission
AZ new haven 1t was tianshpped on the
continental, steamer of the defendant
lina, which arrv we'd safely at the pier in
New York about six A. M. OF the 4th OF July,
discharged her cargo in good order, and re-
turned to New Haven the same morning.
Persons were in attendance at the pier during
all the day on the 9th of July to deliver the
cargo but the leather in question was not call
ed Tor. Plaintiffs had been in the habit of re-
ceiving freight by the detendan s. line, and it
was always taken at the pier by plaintiffs
own carman. Their place of business " as.
however, closed on the 4th Of july. Plain
tiffs claimed that they had always been in the
habit OF receiving notice when any freight ar
rived for them; but defendants contended that
the only notices they gave were in order to
prevent the accumulation of freight on the
pier in the following form:
"NoTIcE.-The quality of Merchandise trans
ported at the present time is so great, and the
docks therefor so crowded, that it is impera-
lively necessary that all freight be taken away
on the day of its arrival or be put in the store
house at the owners expense ard risk The
following freight consigned to your address is
now ready for delivery, Sc"
The defendants have occupied the same pier
for number of years, at which their boats ar
rived regularly twice a day, and plaintiffs
knew the hour OF their arrival. The invoices
of the leather were mailed at the residence Of
the consgnees, and did not reach the plaintiffs
Ull after the tire-one on the morning of the
Oh, the other on the 9th of July.
The Court held that under the circumstances
OF the case the extraordinary liability of the
defendants as insurers ceased after the freight
was discharged upon the pier and in readiness
for delivery. That it is the duty of consgnee
who knows the regular hours of a boats arri-
val and is expecting goods, to be on the look
out for them and that no notice of their arri-
val is necessary on the part of the carrier to
terminate his extraordinary responsibility as
an insurer. The Court therefore directed a
verdict for the defe ndants.
The plaintiffs took an exception to the deci-
sion, which the Court ordered to be heard at
General Term, judgment in the meanwhile to
be suspended.

JAMES PARTON has made another valuable
contribution to biographical literature in a
new volume entitled the peoples Book of
Biography" containing sketches of eighty dis
tinguished personages. The design of the work
is very comprehensive, and it contains the
lives of persons of both sexes, in every histor-
ical period and in almost every walk of life,
our immediate contemporaries only being
excluded. Great skill and judgment is evinc-
ed in making the selection OF subjects, many
of the lives being of persons concerning whom
little is known, but who are objects of popular
curiosity. Prominent men and women are
not overlooked, but they who are called great
receive no more attention than more humble
individuals. Julius Caesar takes his chance
with Napoleon III, and Stephen A. Douglas
with John A. Sutler and DIR. Mott. Such of
the eighty sketches as we have read are
in Parton's most fascinating style, and thebook
cannot fail of immediate success, like eyery-
thing written by its author

Tho Democratic Convention.

A man who from the data furnished by re-
ports from New York could form apy settled
opinion as to the result of the Convention that
assemblies tomorrow would be an individual
of such transcendant genius as himself to de-
serve the Democratic nomination. Only two
things appear to be entirely certain: an i'm
mense and unprecedented amount of whisky
is being consumed by such delegates as have
already arrived, and Pendleton will have the
largest vote ON the first ballot Beyond these
two points all is chaos and ancient night"
The bibulous weaknesses Of the delegates and
the existence of perhaps bare majority for
one candidate where the two-thirds rule is in
force present but slender ground for general
liz Ition. If we endeavor to find what is the
stan ling of the various candidates we are met
at the very outset by statements that literally
swear" at each other. AS to the second
choice of the Pendleton men, for instance,
there is great diversity of opinion; we learn at
one moment that it is Hendricks, and at an
other that it is Hancock. The Pendletonians
being in such force, constituting the entire
delegations from Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Mich
igan, Kansas, Nebraska. Oregon, and part
of the Maine aud other New England delega-
tions, the candidate they take up when they
are obliged to abandon the greenback gentle
man will be likely to succeed. There is the
same doubt hanging over other questions
Who knows whether Seymour is candidate
or not? He has declined again and again, yet
his friends are working for him as vigorously
as those of any other candidate. Who knows
how Chase stands? There is one class of pol
iticians who express the utmost confidence
that he will receive the nomination while an
other class are equally certain that his name
Will hot be so much as mentioned in the Con-
vention. As for the minor candidates it now
seems impossible that his pompous and irrita-
BILE excellency, Associate Justice Field, should
receive more than the complimentary vote of
one or two Pacific States, johnson, the vote of
Tennessee and few scattering votes from 9TH
er Southern States, Parker and Packer, the
votes on the first ballot of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey respectively. At present the
choice seems to us to lie between Hendricks
and Hancock. The latter will probably re-
ceive the nomination of the Soldiers and Sal
Iors' Convention and this will carry him into
the Democratic Convention with considerable
strength to begin with.

THE Newburyport Herald has changed its
time of publication from morning to evening
for the following among other reasons:
There are many reasons why an evening
issue is preferable. 1t gives opportunity for
reporting promptly anything and everything
that happens during the day, worthy
of notice. We photograph events as they
pass and freshness Is desirable obi ect. 1t is
the same with the current news of the world.
We would be glad if our town in its growth
and business. would fill newspaper with To-
cal items; and that there are not more
changes and more business requiring no.
tice, is certainly no fault of ours. As it
is, necessarily, most that a paper here
contains must be gathered from the outside
world. This also we can give earlier in the
evening thaa the morning, since we must de-
pend upon other papers, and not as do the
journals of the large cities, upon the tele-
graph.
The Herald is good paper. and for our own
part We don't care whether it comes in the
evening or morning, SO long as we get it every
day. If the people of Newburyport are Eot of
the same opinion, they ought to be. 1t is
worth something to any place to be well rep
resented abroad.
