Gen. Schenck, our new Minister to
England, is reported ia! have lately
remarked that he thinks Great
Britain will not be half SO difficult to
deal with as Canada in relation to the
fisheries; ard that in regard to the
Alabama Claims business we have
had enough feasting and toasting,
and some decided action is now
wanted.
Late dispatches from Europe say
that reinforcements to the number OF
30. 600 are arriving to recruit the
Army OF the Loire, and that nothing
will be done with this Army for a
fortnight.
The Prussians have already thrown
some shells into Paris. They have
made another unsuccessful attack on
the Qualifications Of Belfort, losing

From u Teacher.
RED Rock Tp.,

RED Rock TP.,
Jan'y l, 1871.
Ed. VOTER:-I saw an article in
your paper, from our worthy County
Superintendent, about the Office o1
County Sup't Of Schools, and was
much interested in reading it.
For what subject should be of Sc
muchinterest to the people of Marion
County as the subject of Common
Schools, and to have good officer at
the head of them? The Superintend-
ent stands Mt the head Of the Schools
Of the County. His duties are many
and important, but his salary is in.
adequate. Let him have a salary SC
that he can devote his time entirely
TO the interests of Schools of the
County, and then our School system
will be a greater blessing to the
community than it now is.
The examination Of Teachers is not
all he has to do, but to make reports,
and various other duties. Visiting
the Schools Of the County is an inn
portant duty to be performed to
give advice to both Teachers and
scholars, and encourage them land by
his visits he can see whether the
Teacher is qualified for governing a
School, and Judge OF his aptness to
give instruction in the various
branches.
! know from experience that the
visits of the superintendent are
beneficial to both the Teachers and
scholars. They give new life to the
Schools. Parents become In II Hatee Hatteefrt.stteut
Parents are entirely too careless
about visiting the Schoolhouse, and
seeing the manner in which the
Schools are conducted, and encOurag-
ing the scholars in their duty.
Let there be a thorough supervi-
sion, and the superintendent visit
all the Schools, and the County will
be well remunerated for all the
expense by an increased interest in
the Public Schools. Instead of
abolishing the Office, let it be one
that will pay the superintendent for
his services, for it is the most impor-
tant Office i'm the County.

A Washington dispatch to paper
that is a champion Of Sumner, says
that those Senators who decided, after
the Senator's speech on the San
Domingo resolutions, and the debate
which followed it, to attempt to
remove the Massachusetts, Senator
from the Chairmanship of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, have
nearlyal come to- the. .conclusionoto to
abandon the undertaking first, be-
cause 1t is impracticable Of accom-
plishment, and second, because they
are satisfied that Mr.. Sumner is the
most capable man in the Senate for
the position. Hereafter, the majority
can so arrange matters as TO bring
treaties and other like subjects before
the legislative session, and thus
prevent them, or such of them as Mr..
Sumner opposes, from going to the
Foreign Committee. Many of the
most radical Administration Senators
are satisfied, from words of Mr..
Sumner which have been repeated
to them, that he is not opposed to
the general foreign policy Of the
President, and that he said much In
the excitement Of debate which he
did not intend to say, and which he
regrets. He does not express any
animosity toward the President, and
he intends TO give all Administration
measures fair and cordial support.
TIE President, although somewhat
panied at what had occurred III the
heat of the San Domingo debate, has
never spoken Of Mr.. Sumner except
in the most respectful language, and
shows he has u thorough knowledge
and appreciation Of the Senator's
abilities. It is not thought that there
will be any future scenes OF the
character of that Of last week, and
all believe that If the question Of San
Domingo again comes up in the
Senate, it will be treated upon its
merit., and not upon the manner i'm
which the treaty or protocol Was
negotiated or signed. Register.

his charge seems so far to have
mainly recoiled against himself,
damaging him considerably.

Senator Harlan's plan for q free
University in the District of Cola'm-
bia is described as one of great COM
prehensiveness and magnitude. The
TsiJune's correspondent says that the
Senator proposes that the University
shall contain the following colleges:
A college for the preparation OF
teachers for the public schools; a
college for instruction in the higher
grades of classical and mathematical
learning; college Of medicine and
surgery; college Of Law, for the
preparation of statesmen and jurists;
q polytechnic college, consisting OF
schools or civil anvi Typographical
engineering, mining and metallurgy,
applied chemistry and physics, arch.
itect,,re andagriculture, and college
of fire arts, including schools Of de.
sign and music. The Government
is not to give aid to the University
beyond allowing it the use of the
grounds of judiciary or armory
squares in Washington, and the
building upon them. The first ques
ton that naturally arises is, If tht
University is to be really free, and i
the Government never gives it any
subsidies, how is the Institution tt
be sustained? Whence are to come
the millions of dollars for the 'found
atom even Of such a magnificent
National School, and the multiplied
thousands required for its annual
expenses? We fear the project ]:
somewhat Utopian for our presen
degree of wealth and cultivation.

i'm that barber's hands.
= IF it be once admitted that the ac-
QUESTION of San Domingo on any rea-
sonable terms is at present desirable,
considering the state of our national
finances and the character of the peo-
pie who would thus come under our
Government, then it must also be
admitted, we think, that Senator
Morton's Resolutions providing for
Commissioners to visit the island and
make investigations are at least
very mild and cautious way Of get
ting at the matter. The Commis
sioners are to serve without pay.
Their expenses are to be paid by the
Government; but these cannot
amount to any very large sum if
things are honestly managed. The
Resolutions specify a very full and
complete series of Investigations for
the Commissioners to pursue, and
the report thereon isto be laid before
Congress. For ourselves we have
never been able to see sufficient rca-
sons for purchasing the island now;
but when the President and others
deem the subject Of such immediate
and pressing importance His but fair
to suppose they must have some
grounds therefor. And'the Senate,
by adopting the Morton Resolutions
by vote Of 81 to 0, gave a rather
emphatic endorsement of them.
Senator Summers course In this con-
nection is condemned by numerous
Journals in whose ability and fairness
Of Judgment We have much. conf
dence. When man in his position
attacks the President as he did, there
ought to be more reason for t.than
he seems to have bad The effect o:

Notes.


The Hasckeye thinks that if Vance
of North Carolina is admitted to the
L. S. Senate there is no reason why
its doors should be closed against
Davis, Breckenridge, Semmes or any
other rebel. That's about the way it
seems to US. Magnanimity is noble
virtue; but there may easily be an
excess in a sort Of mistaken magma
nimity. The barber who, in a fit of
rage should undertake to cut a mans
throat while shaving him, might
possibly be forgiven, but his victim
would prove himself confounded
fool if he should again trust his throat
i'm that barber's hands.
