Notwithstanding Evidence.

At a caucus of Republican Sena-
tors in Washington, on the 22d, at
which, among other matters, the
outrages Of the Ku-Klux in the
South, and the means ofprotecting
the citizens was discussed, Senator
Scott, Chairman ofthe Investigating
committee, made the following
startling statement:
The Ku-Klux in North Carolina
was not less than forty thousand
strong, armed and under central
directory. The same organization,
though not as efficient and compact,
existed in other Southern States.
Its object was evidently to place the
South under control of the rebel
politicians and sentiments, and, it
would appear, to in all probability
rcorganixe the rebellion. Legisla-
ton was deemed absolutely nee
essary. The general opinion among
Senators was that action would be
had before Congress adjourned.
Buffers bill is regarded as not
comprehensive enough.

TEACHERS COLUMN.


x0SG1CUC0s
A Township Institute was held at Win
throp, Saturday, Feb. 4th, 1871. Mr.. A.
J. Anders was chosen President and Miss
NJ. A. McCarty Secretary. Critic for the
day, Miss L. Pierce.
The first subject discussed was SHOULD
singing be taught in our common schools?"
One gentleman thought singing was a
gift which all did not possess, and that it
would be as impossible to teach all chill
dren to sing as it would be to teach all to
write poetry or to become proficient in
painting or sculpture; thought that as it
would not benefit all it should not be
taught as branch in school Mr.. Webb
did not agree with the last gentleman.
He believed that all could learn to sing if
a proper endeavor were made, at an early
age, to cultivate the voice. Thought that
singing should be taught to all, as it sub
dued passion, instilled sentiments of pat
riotism, and prepared pupils to become
better men and women, and better citi-
zens. The teachers generally seemed to
agree that singing should be taught in
our schools.
The question: GLOW often should exhi-
billions and examinations occur in
SCHOOL," was next discussed. All seemed
to agree that pupils should be examined
at the close of each week in all the stud
les which they had prepared during the
week; and several teachers present rec
commended that these examinations be in
writing; but there was quite difference
of opinion in regard to exhibitions. Mr..
Utterback thought that exhibitions should
be quite frequent, as 1t stimulated pupils
by giving them an opportunity of dis
playing their attainments and at the same
time enabling them to throw off this
bashful reserve with which pupils are so
much troubled. One of the ladies thought
that if pupil had no other motive for
learning than that of making display of
his attainments. he better not learn any
thing. Mr.. Webb thought that much val
liable time was usually wasted in prepar
ing for these exhibitions and that the
benefits derived from them were more
imaginary than real.
After short intcrmission the question
| Of How occupy the time of children I'M
der ten years of age while in school?"
| was discussed All the teachers present
| agreed that close confinement Of small
children in school was destructive to
health and contrary to nature. Several
thought that the great dislike Of pupils
for school was principally caused by a
too early and close confinement of them,
and recommended short rest for small
children, at least once during each half
hour; thought that their time might be
very profitably spent in printing their
lessons, drawing pictures, &c. After the
critics report the Institute adjourned to
meet in three weeks.

The following letter was written
by Mrs. Esther Morris, of South
Pass, Wyoming, the first woman
Justice of the Peace in America,
and read before the late Woman
Suffrage Convention in w ashington,
d. c.:
South Pass CRY, WY. T.
My DEAR Mrs. HooKER:-After
this long delay, l would return ma
ny thanks for your kind letter, your
sensible report, and more than all,
for the strong right hand Of fellow
ship.
So far as woman suffrage has pro-
crossed in this Territory, we are en-
tirely indebted to men.
TO William H. Knight belongs
the honor of presenting the Woman
Suffrage bill; and it was our Dis
trict Judge, the Hon. John w. King
ham, who proposed my appointment
as Justice of the Peace, and the
trial OF women as jurors.
Circumstances have transpired to
make my position as Justice of the
Peace test of woman's ability to
hold public office, and feel that my
work has been satisfactory, although
| have often regretted was not bet
ter qualified to Fill the position.
Like all pioneers, | have labored
more in faith and hope.
Ihave assisted in drawing a grand
and pitt jury, deposited ballot,
and helped canvass the votes after
the election, and in performing all
these duties l do not know as have
neglected my family any more than
in ordinary shopping, and l must
admit that | have been better paid
for the services rendered than for
any have ever performed. In some
thirty civil actions, tried before me,
there has been but one appeal taken,
and the Judgment was affirmed in
the court above, and in the Grimm
al cases also before me there has
been no call for a jury.
My family consists of husband
and three sons, all Of whom have
been more ready to assist me in the
performance of my official duties
than in my domestic affairs.
My term of office expired Novcm-
Der l, and | sent you paper with
an account of a supper given by the
new officers, and a notice of my re-
tirement from office.
My idea of the woman question
in Wyoming is, that while we en-
joy the privilege of the elective
franchise, we have not been sutfi-
GENTLY educated up to it. The cleo
ton here, and agitation of woman's
voting, has caused us to think, and
has placed us far in advance of what
we were, and | now think that we
shall be able to sustain the position
which has been granted us.
| have had the pleasure of read
ing one of your tracts, and would
be pleased to receive few for dis
tribution, for l think your views of
the woman question are such as will
convince those who are open to con-
viction.
Hoping l may at no distant day
have the pleasure Of more intimate
acquaintance, l remain your sincere
friend. ESTHER MORRIS.
