The substitution of slate for lockwood
for engraving has been lately found to be
both economical and efficient for the de-
sired purpose. Especially is it adapted
for engraving in relief 1t is stated that
while blocks of slate are essily cut, they
will wear as well as electrotypes, and fur
nish over 100000 sharp impressions with
out loss of detail. The plates are not af-
fected by oil or water, do not vary with
temperature, and never become warped,
which is the grand fault with lockwood
under certain conditions.

PRESIDENTIAL sPEcULATIoNs

The correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette, gives the following as the
"talk" about Washington on the
Presidential nominations
WASHINGTON, Sept. II, 1871.
Gradually our public officers and
politicians arc returning to this city,
and already begin to make prepare
tions for the coming Presidential con-
test. The Republicans unanimously
assert that Grant will be the nominee
for the next National Republican
Convention that whilst there is
very general inclination to break
in the ranks, and to nominate civil
lana Greedy, Boutwell,, or such
like that there is no one of their
prospective candidates upon whom
the party can be united, except
Grant, and as it looks to-day, he
will be the nominee, possibly, by ac-
clamation.
The Democrats are not heard from
so generally, but as far as can be
judged from the few leading men who
have recently visited the city, and
from the tone of letters, it would APP
pear that there is no concentration
upon any individual for the Presiden-
cy, but determination is evident
save in certain localities, to nominate
the most available candidate-one
who will invite to his support not
only the strict Democratic party vote
but will secure all Conservati se Gle
ments from whatever party.
The opinion isgeneral that nom
inee must be elected who will most
surely carry the State of Pcnnsylva-
MIA, for it is held, he who can COM
mand the vote Of that State viii! get
the vote of any other State that will
go for Conservative President. In
other words, that the only doubtful
question of success for the Demo
cratic party is involved in the result
of the election in Pennsylvania.
Adams of Massachusetts ; Hancock
of Pennsylvania, and Hendricks of
Indiana, are mentioned as the most
probable nominees. The latter has
more of a local support, and is con-
fined principally to Indiana, and
Ohio politicians. Adams and Han
cock have an almost universal prefer
ence, as being types of the Conser-
vative sentiment eff the whole coun-
try Groesbcck and General Morgan
Of Ohio, are occasionally mentioned,
but mixed ticket with Hancock
for President, and Gratz Brown for
Vice President is now meeting with
general approval. Chief Justice
Chase is occasionally mentioned, but
it appears to be conceded by those
best advised that he will not be in
the arena in the coming Presidential
contest.

As | before stated, my object is to
call attention to these matters with
the hope, that some one who is able,
may point out a means by which to
rid ourselves of these troubles. My
remedy is in reconstruction. We
surely have found out how that thing
works. 1t is a poor rule that will
not work both ways. Now let the
Legislature repeal the school law.
Then enact a law appropriating the
fund, if any, which was set apart
for school purposes, to the education
of teachers. This should be done
by establi, hing normal school in
each Congressional District in which
shall be educated all young men
free of cost, who will obligatc them
selves to teach in a public school as
many years as he shall be SO educa-
ted, preference being given in all
cases to manned ex-soldiers other
things being equal. Let the State
Board of education, when created be
composed of one member from each
Congressional District, to be elected
by the General Assembly. Let the
State School Commissioner be a ma
tive Georgian. Let the School Books
be selected by the State Teachers
Association. These, Mr.. Editor are
some of the suggestions which |
would have acted upon by our peo-
pie. Let the people speak. More

RECREATION When a man is
hungry let him eat; when thirsty,
drink; when sleepy, sleep; when
stiff with sitting let him run, dance
and jump; when overworked and
faded let him recrcate himself.
Let every man give himself to
some useful and honorable work.
work that taxes his best facilities.
Then let this man keep his mind and
body as he should his tools or capital,
in good working ordcr-sometimes
by fasting, sometimes by freshness,
sometimes by popular amusements;
at other times by unpopular Sobrio-
ties. Let a man recreatc himself as
often and as perfectly as he can ;
for busy man will wear out soon
enough at the best.
But be it always remembered that
pleasure followed for pleasures sake
wears men out sooner than any or
binary work. Such pleasures, I'M
earned by work, are called dissipa-
tons because they dissipate, scatter,
squander and waste ones strength
and manhood.
