OurPubIic schools.

Is our county doing all in its power M
behalf of education? Those having
charge of the matter are working with
all the necessary zeal, we learn, but
larger amount of money ought to be de-
voted to public schools. While we are
on this subject, we desire to offer few
borrowed suggestions TO our Superin-
tendent, and to the teachers under him.
Teachers should possess, first, thorough
knowledge of what they intend to teach;
,sacond. natural skill or aptness for
seacning: third, real love for their pu-
MS. fourth. backbone or will-power;
NTH. souI-power; sixth, positive moral
character in life; seventh, enthusiasm
for their high calling. Teachers are IN
the habit of giving too much attention
10 intellectual education, instead of the
formation of character in the young
Competent and conscientious instruc>
tors everywhere are asking the cues
ton, How shall / teach?" Even DC
fore that important question, let tnen :
make earnest enquiry, "How snail
train children to make them more
truthful, temperate, honest, many.
The great peril of this country To-Day IL
not so much in the ignorance OF tne
people, as it is in the want of character,
and the want of integrity. in the pee
pie. Who is to blame it our pupilc
men, Of intellect and culture, are cor
rupt. and wanting in nobility of charac-
ter. and adherence to principles? Who
but their teachers and their fathers and
mothers?

The Election.

The election that will be held next
Tuesday, is by far the most importnt to
us, held since the war. We will be call
ed upon to exercise the highest and most
sacred immunity of an American citl-
zen-that of the elective franchise. 1t
is the duty Of every good citizen to see
that every man votes his free and I'M
trammelled will. Anything like bargain
and intrigue, for votes, is Ubiquitous and
evil in It's tendency, and ought to be
guarded against. Let peace, quiet and
fair dealing he the ruling features of the
day, and then no cries of fraud can be
raised after the election is over. All the
difficulties that occur on election days
are the result OF overbearing conduct on
the part of somebody. If every man
will do his own voting, and let every
body else do the same thing, We will
guarantee that there will be no fuses.
No man ought to be insulted or up
braided for voting for or against par
ticular candidate.

At the Judicial election in August,
in one precinct the judges, under a mis-
take about the poll tax law, refused to
let some parties vote because they
did not produce tax receipts. To avoid
similar error at the coming election,
we call attention to an act of the Legis-
lature, passed December 14th, 1871,
which provides that judges of elections
shall not require tax receipt for the
year 1872. Remember this, and save
trouble.

On the last Saturday in this month,
the annual election Of officers Of the
Farmers Club will take place. Owing
to circumstances which the President
could not control, the appointed day for
the election passed without the election
being held. Let the membersl attend
the next regular monthly meeting
promptly, and attend to the important
duty OF electing officers. The present
President has made an efficient presid-
ing officer, and we trust that the next
one, if rotation in Office is adhered to,
will be as good an one.

The Public Library Of Kentucky
Gift Concert.

We call the particular attention of our
readers to the final announcement of Gov
Bramlette in our advertising columns in
reference to the Second Grand Gift Concert
to be held in Louisville, KY, on the It'll day
of December next. The greater portion of
the tickets are already sold, and half Million
deposited in Bank and held for the payment
of all Gifts offered, as will be seen by the
certificate of the Cashier of the Farmers
and Drovers' Bank published in the adver-
tisement. The demand for tickets since this
announcement has been made is more brisk
than ever, and the remnant will be disposed
of at at early day, SO that it behooves these
of our friends who want to participate in
the magnificent Distribution, to order their
tickets at once.
No agent will he permitted to sell tickets
for the managers after the 18th of Novem-
Der, which makes the time very short for
the supply of those who may want tickets.
The Concert and drawing is by authority
of a special Act of the Legislature of Ken
lucky, SO that all its benefits may be, as now,
absolutely and forever free to every citizen
of every State. There are one thousand
Gifts in all, the largest being $l0O, 900, and the
smallest 500.
