April %, 1868.
Mn. EpGro2:-I desire to commit.
nicate through the column. of your
paper a brief sketch concerning the
closing exercises Of public srlonl
taught during the winter by Prof.
Newton Brad,lock.
The school closed on the . lth day
of March. The day being pleasant,
at an early hour the school convened.
The house was lille with spectators.
l'he examination was thorough and
very satisfactory to all present. The
performances were intcrspcrscd with
enlivcnny instrumental music by the
".Ncbo string band," uadcr the super
vision of PROF. Robert Burns. To
the honor Of the ladies' and citizens
WHO so generously entertained lis with
the dclicacics and COOL things which
they hal provided, and with which we
so readily satisfied our appctitc-, we
extend our sincere thanks. The en-
tire exercises evinccd faithful labor
on the part of the teacher, and dill
gcnce, application and marked pro
gress On the part OF the scholars.
Mr.. Braldock's mctho | of teaching
is certain to secure success, anl i,
worthy of imitation. He is II model
e,n'cator. He has acquired for him
self justly reputation as a successful
teacher. But while we are willing to
give the teacher due credit for his
ability, efficiency and success in deyel-
opin. the intellectual faculties of those
committed to his care, it is not for the
most finished workman to present us
with the perfect specimen of his craft
and skill, unless he have the material
that is fitted To receive the finished
touches he would impart, and hence
we would be entirely too partial in ou'
commentator, did we not also extend
a share oft to those whose talents have
rendered them capable OF such in
provemsnt, even under the instruction
of an adept.
At the close of the examination the
citizens and parents preseat were call
ed on to express their sentiment, in
regard to their satisfaction. There
was but one sentiment expressed, and
that was entire satisfaction. The Rev.
stevenson being present during the
greater part of the exercises, was called
"n and replied IN some brief but ap-
propriate remarks. So did also Burns
Ieasar'lcn, Grow and Phillips-teach-
ers who were present. Mr.. Phillips
delivered an able address on the "in-
portance Of education" SPECTATOR.

THE conviction in Wall street that
the Pre- sident will be disposed OF is all
but general, and strong parties are
backing up the prediction with heavy
bets. The influential Wccl and Sew

conviction not that it cares for Mr..
Johnson so much as it does for the re-
tcntion OF the lucrative patronage it
still controls one way and another in
the Custom House, the PostoHicc, and

Ben Wade once gets in, it is no secret
that he will make short work of these
in order that the more Radical men of

against conviction.

THE LIQUOR.TnAFrIc.


The N. Y. Eraminer, in an intcrcs-
ting article, collatcs some striking facts
AMI figures about the Liquor traffic in
the United States. The Revenue re-
port to the Treasurer, Jannarv 1868
says "The present production OF dis
HVei spirits in the Unitel States, the
orctically available for assessment
and revenue, is undoubtedly about
fifty millions Of proof gallons pei. an
man,"
The total number of licensed cstab-
lishmcnts for tile sale of liquor in the
United States, is 10000, that is one
establishment for every 2GG persons,
or for every iifty-threc families. This
statement cannot lie an cxaggcration,
for the more carefully prepared statis-
ties Of New York State give one grog-
shop to every 1873 the inhabitants.
These 100000 licensed liquor estab-
l:shmrnts occupy more buillinss than
there are in the city and county of
Philadelphia. according to the returns
Of January 1868.
lfa frontage of twenty feet were al
lowed each liquor establishment, they
would form II solid row of buildings
more than four humired and ninety
t,co miles lon1-longcr than the rail
road route from Boston, by way OF
New York and Philadelphia, to
Washington City. The number of
persons required to carry on this in
iqnitous traffic, assigning three to each
place, lin New York city the average
of five cach), is 100000, more than
the population Of Baltimore or Bos,
ton.
In the State of New York, TIE
number Of licensed groy-shops is d.
2l2, and of employees in them, g., 72G.
The number of schools and churches
is 1892, and that Of teachers and
ministers, 33,2ll.
The sum of money expended for
liquor throu Ihout the country, is still
more startling. The total value Of re-
tail liquor sales for one year, in the
different States and Territories, is 81, ,
4S3, 3,l9l 500. The total value frlil-
roads and their cqn pmcn's is little
more than this, viz: $l,6jl,0jO,790.
This enormous amount spent for in
toNiclting drink, is equivalent to SI3

POLITICAL THEIvERY.


In all the forms know to law,--by
the proclamation of the Secretary of
Treasury, by the advertisements of the
authorized agents of the Government,
by the genera! consent of the people
themselves, and most emphatically BY
the representation IS made in foreign
markets, it was agreed that the bonds
were to be paid in gold, or its equiva-
lent. They were issued in time of
war, at deprecated rates, because the
nations life was trembling in the scale,
and the highest inducements were
essential to draw ont the money ofpatri-
otic citizens and friendly aliens. All
monlists are agreed to the principle
that "a promise is to be Interpreted IS
the proniscr believes that the promi-
see undcrstool | it" No sane man pre-.
tends that Congress was practising a
trick on the people in passing the
national loan hill;. No sane man
supposcs that the people who lent their
money were expecting to be paid in
paper below par. The contract was
therefore made BY the Governmcntand
the lenders of the mpnev, both
understanding it in the same way, and
in that way it must be executed, or the
nations credit and honor are ruined.
and its name becomes justly the scoli'
and derision Of all honest men ON earth
who can read or hear the story OF its
iniamy.
Pettiioggers and popularity hunters
in the mi,lst Ola thieving generation !;
parties willing to buy notes by appeals
to tile avarice of men, or cvalc their
honest debts,n,ay make it appear to the
mob that it ia cheaper to dcfanl
creditor than to pay him his debt, but
in the long run it is poor policy to be
Il scoanlrel, and national rcpu iation
is but the aggregate scouadrcism Of
a majority Ola people.

Our countg's welfare is our fr't concc'n.
And who promotes that best host proves his
duty
--Hrruyi
In placing tha illustr.ors nanas
above at the held Of our columns, we
perfect the intention oftwo wears con-
ception and believe we do that which
meets the appreciation of all good cit
izcns.
Concerning our candidate for Prc<i-
dent, reasons are not wanting why his
name should be presented for the high
est national honor. If there is any,
thing in the facts of his past record !;
an carly life consccratel to his conn
try's service his to.lsomc upward ca
reer in the face of difficulties innu-
merablc his untincling integrity for
the right his unassuming modcsty his
political conscicntiousncss all would
point to him as the bright particular
star in the const,lation of national
heroes. We favor his election to the
highest place in the nation because he
belongs TO the People and is emphatic
ally their protcyc. He cane Of
worthy though humble ancestors. was
educated at the expense Of the People
and has ever served them faithfully in
all trusts committed to him. His
deeds have spoken for him and there
remains no doubt in the minds Of
thinking men but what his course in
politics has been and always will be
for "our country's welfare" We f,-
vor his election because he proved
himself a soldier. Whatever calum-
nies may be hcapcd upon him by those
whose hearts achcl at the news o..
Union victory andreioicc | over defeat,
he 'pos the Cour &c Leon that clcav-
ed the Con'ieiccrocy by persistent
blows. We favor his election be-
cause, since the war, he has "actcl the
way he shot" No single deed can be
cited wherein his honor and that of thc
country was at stake, but what the
common COOL was taken into consider
ation. Lastly, we favor his election
because fully two thirds of those who
arraycd themselves on the side of lib
erty in the recent war desire it. With
this statement, imperfect as it is, we
once more 'faIl in with the grand ar
my enlisting under his bann y, deer
mined to eight it on that same linc,"
and with the conviction up c'most a
November next will witness more glo-
rious results than those achieved bv
our leader on the memorable 9th off
April, '65.
Andrew Gregg Curtin, our next
choice, belongs to the keystone State.
Her history has been made doublv
brilliant by the wise and successful all
ministration of cx-Gov. Curtin during
the events Of the late war. To him
rightfully belongs the title OF "The
Soldiers Friend" for no one labcrcd
with greater zeal for their welfare.
Attentive to their wants in the field
and hospital, he earned immortal fame
for his kindness, and to-day the
widows and orphans IF the fallen
speak his praise. Familiar rs house
hold word the name of Curtin is spo-
ken ofin every hamlet in the State as
the fittest of all other to be placed be-
side his eompatriot Grant.
Armed by strong conviction that
we represent the loyal people of the
country.in hosting the names of Grant
and Curtin there is a justice in the
proposition that cannot want proper
end, and the fight for being heartily
pushed will result in u more over
whelmipg victory!
