! think | am not prsjndiced against
the Democratic party 10 such an extent
that l could not do il justice, whenever
it would do anything worthy of praise.
I have not said anything against the
Democratic Legislature, as most Of the
Republican papers have done. The
Republican Legislatures did any
amount Of foolish work during the past
ten years, and our party ought to be a
little sparing Of denuuciation. The
present Legislature has passed few
good laws, and among them one to
prevent prize fighting. But am con-
vinced that the Republicans in jackson,
Gallia, Lawrence, Scioto, and other
strong Republican counties, who joined
hands with the copperheads, and elect
ed copperheads to gOto the Legisla-
ture, now begin to see where they
missed it. This Democratic Legisla-
ture has been in session nearly one
third Of year, at an expense TO the
taxpayers of over one thousand dollars
a day. Already it has cost the tax-rid-
den people one hundred and twenty
FIVE thousand dollars, with no pros
pect ofan adjournment. The members
of the Copperhead majority are waiting
and Watching, hoping that their rebel
brethren at Washington City may be
able to get up another rebellion, when
they will vote the peoples money BY

EWe hope to be able next week to
announce that that bad man, Andrew
johnson, has received his just reward
for his treachery. We had supposed
that the trial would be ended before
this time, but the sickness Of Mr., Stan

layed the trial. The Senate meets at
twelve o'clock each day, and only re-
mains in session during the afternoon.

The Democratic party decides every
measure to which it is opposed, uncon-
stitutional. The constitution Of the
United States provides that when the
President dies, oris incapable Of acting,
the Vice President shall discharge the
duties Of the Office, and when neither
President nor Vice President can
oct, then Congress shall decide what
officer shall discharge the duties Of the
Office pursuance Of this provision
! Of the constitution, Congress, in the
year 1902, passed an act thatin such case
the President ofthe Senate shall dis
charge the duties Of President, This
law was enacted by many Of the men
who made the constitution. 1t was
signed BY George Washington, a.

/ have heretofore spoken of the lack
of school books in the primary schools
of the county. When books began to
be introduced, there was such variety
that it caused much trouble, and Sc
riously impeded the progress Of eduea-
ton. "A uniformity of inferior books
would have been better than such va
risty, containing many good ones. y,
The Elementary spelling book main
tanned its ascendency all the time, and
there was less trouble with spelling
books than with any Others Several
efforts were made to introduce Cobb's,
and others, but the Elementary has
been almost universally used in the
schools Of this county during the past
forty years. xxx.
The first Grammar used was that old
standard work, and the foundation OF
all our subsequent Grammars, Lindlsy
Murrays, About the year 1910, Kirk
hams Grammar came into use. Very
soon Smiths was introduced. These
were much alike in arrangement, and
were more sasily understood by small
children than Murray's. Then came a
food Of Grammars. Pinpeo was all the
rage twelve Or6fteen years ago, Soon
it was discarded, and then came
Browns Soon after Browu came
Green. II Is, generally, used in the
schools atths present time. Whether
mofs new Grammars will be introduced
OF whether the old ones win have an
other round, remains TO be seen. We
can find plenty Of persons, even schoOI
teachers, who will strenuOusly contend
for each one ofthese books asposScssing
superior merits.
One Of the first Biographies used wat
Oluey's, Then came MitchelPs, and
various others, and learned at the In
.stitute last winter that the teachers hav'
]. more trouble on account Of multiple
pliclty Of biographies, than with am
other class Of school books.
AS have heretofore stated, the first
readers were the Introduction to the
English Reader, the English Reader
aud the Testament. III am not mista
ken, the English Reader was complies
by Lindley Murray, the author Of th'
Grammar. har la W 3aI
AbOnt the year 1887, McGutsy'
Readers were introduced, and the.
have been universally used ever since
There has not been any trouble wit
Readers in the schools since their intro
duction. About the same date Ray
series Of Arithmetics was introduced
These are excellent books, and hav
been universally used since their intro
duCtion. PriortO that time, there wer
several old works in use, and they wer
very inferior books. ! now remembe
