WHAT SUPERVISING ARCHITECT
BULLET SAYS OF OUR MINT.

With great pleasure we copy the fol.
lowing extract from the Report Of the
Supervising Architect, Mr.. Mullet to
the Secretary of the Treasury with re-
gard to the Carson Branch Mint:
After personal inspection of this building
which has at last been entirely completed, |
am compelled, in justice to the Superintend-
ent, to saw that believe it to be one of the
most faithfully and economically constructed
buildings in the United States; indeed l am
surprised at the result accomplished, when the
enormous prices of labor and material. and
the difficulties and endorsements incident
TO insufficient appropriations are considered.
A great deal of criticism has been elected in
regard to the size of the building, which has
been pronounced unnecessarily large, hut l
do not hesitate to assert that if a mint is
needed at Carson City, the building is too
small and that it will require additions at no
distant day. A fuel shed and black mith's
shop is much needed, and should be erected
without delay.
This act of justice to Col. Curry will
convince the public hereabout that there
is justice done, now aud then, in high
places Beyond any doubt the Carson
Branch Mint is the bes, constructed
building on the Pacific Coast, the Cali
foruis State Capital 20, excepted.

Women as Teachers,

In the field of teaching women have
been unusually successful, and have
gradually superseded men in most of
The schools. According to the last
census there were in the United States
$50, ,241 teachers, of whom 100000, or
nearly two thirds, were women. In
some paticular States the proportion
was greater. In Massachusetts, there,
were 81 tx times as many women teachers
as men. In Vermont the proportion
was five to one, and in Iowa three to
one. Iu the large cities the prepouder-
aoca OF women. as teachers is most
marked. In Chicago there are twenty
men 20 241 omen; in Cincinnati go 70
324 in Milwaukee IA to 20; St. Louis
pas Is to 1855; San Francisco Sc to 1S3
In the Eastern States the difference is
increased Boston has only 67 men to
567 women among her teachers; P.rovi-
6epce 9 to 142; Brooklyn II to $40; Phil
adelph.a 81 10 1,217; Baltimore AZ to
325 and Washington to Sc. There is
no record of any Southern city except
Louis vile, which has % men to 1O3 wo-
men. In New York, IN 1869, three
fourtbs of the pubic school teachers
were women. IN 1856 there we-e opiv 178
men smoDg moe ,hsn 1900 teachers,
and ihe same e ave numbers remain
about the same.

The following officers were elected for the
Alexander, Secretary; George Brown, Treasurer;
S. Gressinger, Depository.
The Executive Committee consists OF Messrs-
Solomon Bentley, Robt. Kerr, w. Chambers,
John JepSon, Israel Lewis.
Rev. David Howell, of Bridgeport,
was with great unanimity appointed an
agent of the Bible Society.
1t is scarcely necessary to introduce
this Brother to the people OF Belmont
County, as he is already we'll known
and so favorably known as to need no
farSher commendation.
We take pleasure in saying to any
who may not know him personally,
that he is entirely worthy OF their con-
fidenee and deserves the hearty cooper
alton of all good citizens in his work.
We bespeak for him a kind reception
wherever, be. may go and liberal re-
sponse to his appeals in behalf Of the
Bible Society.
The anniversary of the society was
held in the Presbyterian Church Sabbath
evening the 7th of November. The ex-
cercises consisted of singing, prayer,
reading the scriptures, followed by ad-
dresses from Ministers Martindale, Stew
art and Grant.
The following tribute to Judge Cowen
deceased, " as read:
1t becomes the painful duty of the
Bible Society to record the death OF
Hon. B. S. Cowen for several years its
esteemed President, and always its
friend and advocate. We cannot but
feel that the society has sustained a
great loss in the decease of this excellent
man, and we deem it proper on this
occasion to express our sorrow over an
event that has removed from our midst
one whose eounsels were always wise
and worthy of respect. A man of great
moral worth, singular integrity and
purity of character, he naturally won
the esteem and confidence of all who
knew him.
The learned Judge, the, ,virtuous citizen,
the genial companion, the true friend,
has left US forever. We drop tear over
his memory, knowing well that we shall
not soon look upon his like again. Still
We bow in submission to the will of God
who removes his workmen but carries
on his work, fully assured that he doeth
"all things welt" "The memory of the
Just is blessed" and the name of Judge
Cowen will be held for long time ia
come in respectful and affectionate re-
membrane by the officers and friends OF
the Belmont County Bible Society,"

considers The prescott coDdii ion of our
finances most favorable toa speedy re-
torn 10 specie payments, and in his
forthcoming message will urge such a
measure upon Congress. He is opposed

Of the public debt will then have been
effected as will enable the Government
to safely and materially modify taxes of

..FRoM UNDER Dc VIII P.-

A few evenings ago We happened TO
be in one of our dry goods stores when
several colored men were in buying
goods. Oneofthese colored men had been
a slave in Georgia until Sherman's
"narch to he seap liberated him and
gave him any opportunity to come
North. He has been, since then, dill
gently working attending masons or do
ing anything else he could get to do,
carefully saving hismoney and investing
il in a house and lot he has purchased.
After we entered the store, leading
Democrat, who regards the enfranchise-
ment of the blacks as a settled question,
and is.anxious to get as many of them
as possible to vote with the Democratic
party, entered into tue .ollowing dia-
logue with the colored man:
Democrat: Tom, you would vote for
me, wouldn't you if Iwas cal eEe
Colored man: l dun no, Mr..
What party you bloDg to?-
Democrat: Oh, I'm Democr! >
would vote for the Democratic pNy,
wouldn't you? .sl-l 8
Colored man: No sah, L would vote
for de party what brought me out from
under de whip!
Democrats may forget in their anxiety
to secure the vote of the black man, how
they have denounced and abused him
and did all they could to keep him in
slavery, but the poor negro, ignorant
and degraded as these Democrats would
have the people believe he is, will not
so readily forget these things, nor bis
obligations to the party that gave him
his liberty, or, as Tom expresses it,
drought me out from under de whip

legal gentlemen, one OF whom smiles
on you biaposy because you are on his
side, aud the other eyes you savagely
for the very opposite reason. The gentle
man who smiled on you proceeds to
pump you of al you know, aud having
squeezed HI be wants out OF you, cour-
teously hands you over to the other, who
proceeds TO show you that you are mis-
taken in a your supposit'ons; that you
never saw nor heard of anything you
have sworn to; that you do not even
know The defendant. nor have ever
seen him before in lyoUr life; in short.
that you have committed positive
perjuty. He wants to know if you have
ever been in the States Prison, a1d
takes your denial with the air OF m m

to say soand so and whether you didn't
mean something else. Having bullied
you and scared you out of your wits,
and convicted you in, the eyes of the
Jury of preyarication ne lets you go. BY
aud by, everybody you have qIarreled
with is put on the stand to swear tn 1T
you are the veriest scoundrel they ever
knew ,and not to be believed under oath.
Then the opposing eousel in summing
up, paints your moral photograph to the
Jury as a character fit to be. hand-d
down coupled with Judas Iscariot and
Andy Johnson-as type Of infaIny-as
man who had conspired AGAINST inno-
cence and virtue. The Judge, ip his
charge to the Jury, tells them ''if they
believe your testimony" &C., indicating
that there is even a judicial doubt of
your veracity. And you go home to
your wife and family, neighbors and
acquaintances, a suspected and branded
man during the remainder of your life,
all because of the unfortunate presence
as witness in jury trial. We would
for our characters sake, rather be caught
robbing a blind widows henroost
than to be a witness in an important
jury trial.-[ruscarawas Advocate.
