States has affirmed the full power of
the President to grant pardon and am
nesty to the people of the South, and
asserts that Congress cannot neutralize
the effect Of such pardon and amnesty
by any legislation they may see fit to
make. This covers the general princi-
pie Of pardon as applied to the people Of
the States and VIC suppose includes the
amnesty proclamation of Andrew Jy i'm
son as well as Abraham Lincoln.

a New York paper complains about
tho husbands Of strong-mindcd women
becoming nobodies While admitting
the influence of woman in moulding the
character Of the man, we cannot concur
in the conclnsi.n that they "become
nobodies. Our observation teaches
us that strong-mindea women get no.
bodies at the start, aud seldom make
them any better.

Stokes, the assassin of Fisk, is going
to plead insanity. Admitting that he
is insane is no reason why he should
have killed Fisk. There's Horace
Greeley, George Francis Train, John
A. Kasson, the editor of the McGregor
News, and the man who single-handed
fought the press, the right, and the
people-they never killed anybody.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

muir WIS tdhCH.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr.. Henry Toye was elected men,
Der of the examining committee" He
has consented to issue certificates to
persons that shall once sustain a thor
ough examination in branches required
to be taught by law, SO long as he shall
hold the Office Of County Superintend
ent, on condition that they shall become
members Of the Association.
1.-The length of time that schools
ought to be kept up in the year. was
taken w and discussed by Sherman,
Ryder, Thompson, Breckenridge, Batty
and Cameron. The leading IDEAS
brought out were that, if the minimum
required by law to hold schools in sub
dis riots in order to receive the benefit
If the public funds, were raised from
six to eight months much more might
be accomplished. That under existing
regulations, the terms were too long and
to few in number, onc-half Of each term
being required to make up, or to place
the pupil where he left OF the term be-
fore. To lengthcn the school year
would necessitate an increase of tax, vet
taking into account the advancement
made, the per cent Of cost would he re-
ally less. Having more terms and
bringing them nearer together, would
have tendency to retain good teachers
longer in one place. 1t was shown that
much interest was lost, and that the
average attendance was much less, after
the 4th Of July through the hot wealth
er, therefore it would be better to have
fall, winter and spring term. The
following was finally adopted:
Resolved, That we the members of
the Winncshick Normal Association,
believe it would be for the interests of
tire county, that the number Of school
months in the year be increased from
six to eight months, and that they
consist of fall, winter and spring term,
thereby avoiding the heat Of Summer.
The next topic introduced was, Glow
can we induce parents to visit schools. .
That parents come short of their duty
in this direction is evident, and that
they ought to visit schools is still more
evident to all, at least t, those who have
given the subject thought. Hence it
becomes the teachers duty to devise
means to bring them out. Mr.. Breck-
enridgc aud others thought the riyh1
way was to visit the parents and to
have them promise when they would
come, once having their word they will
be sure to fulfill.
Topic Of writing taken up. Mr..
breckenridge gave some ILLUSTRATIONS
and explanations Of the advantage sys-
TEN has over the Oh method, when
consists SIMPLY OF imitation IL Is very
desirable that this branch be taught in
systematic way-conciusioh OF all.
