| In a letter printed here to-day
with his signature Forney gives an
incident connected with the incep-
ton of his first editorial declaration
in favor OF Gen. Grant for President.
when this declaration was laid be.
tore Grant by General Rawlins. For
ney says.
When Rawlins came back from
General Grant with the editorial he
told us with great emphasis that
General Grant does not want to be
President. "He thinks the Republi-
can party may need him, and he be.
lieves as their candidate he can be
elected and reelected" but said
Rawlins what is to become OF him
after his second Presidential term !?
What, indeed, during his administra-
tion? He is receiving from SIT 900
to $40, 900 year as General OF the
armies of the Republic, life salary
To 60 into the Presidency at s25, 900
year for eight years, he will per-
haps gain more fame; but what is to
become of him at the end of his
Presidency? He is not politician.
He does not aspire to the place
Eight years from the 4th OF March,
1869, he Will be about 56 years old.
OF course, he must spend his salary
as President. England, with her
Wellington, her Wilson, and her
other heroes on land and on sea, has
never hesita,ed to to epEjsbh and tp eRpdahldf dahd
who fights for and saves the Repub-
hc would be beggar; if he depend
ed upon political Office; aud, mark it,
if Grant takes anything from the
rich. whose vast fortunes he has say.
ed. after he is President, he will be
excused as the willing recipient OF
gifts" Just now, when Gen. Grant
is struggling out of his first term OF
the Presidency and struggling into
his second, thought it might not be
out of place to revive this incident.
Is it not true that when we elect q
man to office, we at the same time
unconsclously encourage Others to
tear him to pieces. w nat Puoilc
character can escape calumny? Our
best candidates for Office are not
saints; our best Representatives and
Senator'S in Congress arc not divini-
ties. l have shown that even Presl-
dent Washington, when he closed
his second term, was regarded as an
usurper, and the end OF his Admin
,stration was declared a great nation
al reliet. Please understand that IN
selecting this incident am simply
trying to show my countrymen that
if we establish an angelic standard
for our public men, we are not only
sure to tail, but perhaps to end IN
making an hereditary monarchy nee
essary to govern and sub iue dis

Fanaticism Belligerent.

A horrid massacre has occurred at
Tandil, village in the Argentine
Confederation, through the tanatl-
cism of a man named Solares, claim
ING to be prophet Of Divine origin.
With fifty armed and mounted tol
lowers he entered Tandil. declaring
death to Masons, the constituted au'
thorities, and liberation to the con-
yicts. The prison in Tandil was
broken open and Its one inmate set
free in the public square. The band
met an Italian whom they instantly
killed. In the outskirts they en-.
countered eleven carts. They killed
ei.ht drivers, and wounded three.
Next entering the store Of Vinney
L,nez, they slaughtered him and a
laborer. They then went to the
store of William Thompson, where
they murdered servant and an Eng
linhman recently married, shouting
constantly, 'Death to the Masons
Death to all foreigners! Kill and
sack!' At $50 A. NJ. they reached
the store Of Jean Shappard, a mar
greatly respected by his nelghbors
There they butchared eighteen per
sons, namely: the owner, wife, fou'
children, two servants, and the re
mainder laborers. committing ind'g
mites to the bodies too horrible t.
mention. Meantime the inhabitant
} of Tandil mustered for pursuit, an

schools can be ascertained at muc|
less outlay. In the nature of things
no Superintendent can materially anG
permanently benefit a school, by two
such visits year, any more than {
teacher can in two lessons yea,
make child proficient in arithme etic
or grammar. 1t Is as though gen.
eral should attempt to exact d,scip.
line by spending all his time in run.
nlng from one private to another.
with hurried words OF instruction
ard reproof. One week of a well
conducted teachers institute is
worth the whole year OF this scatter.
ed visitation.
The visiting Of schools by the su.
perintendent has a certain value. but
not TOR any direct good result to
teacher or pupil, but merely as a
means tor studying the workings of
the system which should be taught
thoroughly at institutes and normal
schools. But twenty or thirty aays
year, properly spent in visiting,
Will enable him to know how his
theories work, and suggest remedies
tor defects. For the rest Fart of the
time now spent in visiting, he should
confine himself to holding Institutes
and public school meetings, and
teaching normal schools.
The State Superintendent strongly
urges the substitution of a district
township for the present sub-district
system OF organizations. We think
the change desirable, and that under
such district township organization
there should be township visiting
officer, whose duty it should be to
exercise under the County Superin.
tenden., the necessary supervision of
the schools for his township This
officer, it might be found expedlent
to compensate, and he should per-
form the duties Of secretary of the
township Board. Then let the Su.
perintendent organize a system of
township institutes, to which the !
greater portion of the time now
spent in visiting schools might we'll
be devoted. These township insti.
tutes, in States where they have been
we'll tried, have furnished an inyalu.
able adjanct to the county institute
and normal schools. The present
system is loose and utterly INSULT
cient. That here suggestea-some.
thing like it-seems to have the ad.
vantages OF more thorough organiza.
lion; OF making enc days work Of
he Superintendent worth twenty an.
Ter the old plan; and OF giving the
superintendent a valuable auxiliary
orce OF twenty subordinates, who
'an and ought to be required to do
he duties which sub-divectors con.
stantly neglect.-[Vinton Eagle.

County Superintendency.

The Convention Of Supervisors,
Just held at Des Mpines .a.a~roe IT,
icnlc OF the press, urged most sur
prising scheme tor further perfectlng
the school system OF the State.
These faithful conservators OF coun-
ty finapces furnish an excellent illus
tration of minds subdued to the elc-
ment they work In" since, in az
parently every change they recon-.
mend, their eyes have been single
to cutting down money expendl'
lures, and reducing every interest
to their thrifty management.
The County Superintendency, they
rroposc to have abolished, and have
the County Auditor with no pro-
vision Cor extra pay) authorized to
perform al! the duties of Superin.
tendent, except visiting schools and
examining teachers. The duty Of
examining teachers they will have
devolved upon three examiners to
be appointed by the Board, at pay OF
So per day each. This expenditure
of s36 per month. they propose to
detray by taxing teachers applying
for examination, one dollar per head,
the evident intention being to make
the new system 'selt supporting.
It is unfortunate that it did not oc'
cur to this FAR seeing body, that BY
the simple further expedient OF max
;no thasa taxable examinations suf-
ticienty frequent, teachers might DC
compelled indirectly to pay very
considerable portion Of their own
salaries.
| As to visiting schools, no pro
vision is suggested, but probabl,
since the Boards would thus legis
! late themselves into the full contro
OF the public school system, tn
members would personally ASSUME
this supervising duty and in thei
rounds of examining bridges, occa
sionally drop into neighboring schoo
houses as convonienccs would pei
nit.
Tha, a number Of presumably in
tclligent men should urge such
scheme is truly astonishing. But
is not to be supposed that any re
spectacle portion Of the people 9
this State, cherish views OF school
and education SO low and mater
: alistic. However, it is more tha
likely that at tho bottom OF this Al
rogating proposition, lies the gene
ally prevailing dissatisfaction wit
the manner in which the County 81
perintendents are required to en-
8 ploy their time and exert their e'
ergies; a dissatisfaction which is we
!. founded. For instance, we glsa
from the report of the Superinten'
:, en-: of Public Instruction, that OF
U laborous County Superintendent ha
during the last year tor which ne

three school visits, and travel!t

H. of schools being 152, the avera
s. number Of v,sitations to each scho
r. would be two. What results? Z
"a that the best man can do in the
- hurried, random visits, is to make
;" ht:le speech to the school, frightt
