Teachers Institute.

As will be seen by those who read
the local columns Of TO- days paper,
a Teachers institute will be held du-
the latter part OF this month. In
other words, it is expected that all
teachers in the county, all expecting
to become teachers, all educators,
and every person having the educa-
tional interests ofthe county at heart
will meet at the Seminary to present
and discuss questions of interest to
the Educational Fraternity. Every
teacher should attend, because he
will there meet with the views and
experience Of many others engaged
in the same difficult task as himself,
and will receive more practical in
struction in one week, tlan he can in
four weeks at school. Modes
Of teaching each OF the different
studies, different methods Of school
government, of managing refractory
pup Is, etc, will be presented so that
each teacher will find something new.
School trustees and directors should
net fail TO attend, for there they will
find the earnest and thorough teach
er; and the teacher who works the
hardest at the Institute is the one
who deserves, should receive
and WILL EARN most money and be
OF the greatest benefit to the county.
Each school district should, and ma.
ny Of them will, appoint several per-
sons to attend this meeting for the
purpose Of securing good teacher.
We may as well have good teachers
IN this county as to have worthless
snes, and if the proper steps are t.
ken to secure them, we will have
them. AL who have been teaching FOL
low wages, because Of their own in
ferior qualification, should attend CIV
cry such meeting improve them
selves and honor their profession
1t is the design of the Examiner ant
others interested to make this by IA
the best Institute ever held in tn,
county. Several distinguished lee

The Grand Finale.

In all ages of the worlds history,
and under whatever form of Govern
ment man has lived, there has beer
disposition on his part 70 elevate
one part of the human family by
branding another part with in
feriority; and whenever and WHEREBY
err this disposition has been manifes-
ted in legal enactments and edicts
oppression has been the result. To
avoid this our ancestors left their
homes and sought a land wherein
was liberty and equality. This de-
sire for freedom called down upon
their heads the tyrant's wrath, and
terminated in the American revolu-
ton, the result Of which is familiar
to all
Breathing tie free atmosphere for
so years the United States had scarce
rival; but that same enemy of free
dom, that same destroyer Of the
rights of mantle desire to Cypress
eliminated in the great rebellion.
This also was made to yield to the
victorious armies of the ''brave and
the free"
But the same spirit which hurled
the ooanrry into a deplorable war,
animated the same men to prevent
reconstruction Of the disordered
country, and to secure that which by
force of arms they were unable to
achieve, they sought to obtain a. the
ballot box; that which they failed to
secure in the war of1S61, they so't
atthe polls; that which they did not
accomplish through Lee and others
they felt sure to accomplish through
Seymour and Blair But thanks be
to the great Ruler Of nations that in
the great contest that has been wag-
in for many years etween freedom
and slavery, and in the late civil war
as to whether this free nation should
be one of durability, or simple con-
federacy to be dissolved at pleasure,
by naughty aristocrats, have, in he
election Of Grant and Colfax, been
ecided in favor Of tia former.
Therefore rejoice We sons Of free
dom, the foul blot which has darken
ed our political horizon is now re-
moved. Slavery has fed. That
claim to superiority which has reach
ell out the iron hand and set down |
the iron heel to crush all that is near
and dear to mantle origin of all
our woes, must now yield to the fun
damental truth that governments
should be basel upon equal and ex-
act justice to all men.
This is the great fin.le and result |
Of the war, and you by your suffra-
ges in the late election, have not be- |
trayed the cause for which our noble
heroes died but sealed by your bal
lots that which was achieved by the
war, and we now live to enjoy the |
priceless blessings which they fought
to secure-Liherty, Union and equal
Rights.
