EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS.

Earnest efforts are being made
here by the friends of education to in
duce the territorial Legislature to es-
tablish four additional primary
schools in which the new method OF
objective teaching known as the Kin
dergarten system will be introduced
There are in this city one hundred
and twenty-three private schools and
about one hundred and thirty public
schools. The existence of so large a
number ofschools notwithstanding the
fact that parents are taxed for the
support Of the pnblie schools, is evi-
dence that the latter are not conduct
ed as efficiently and successfully as
they ought to be.
The kindergarten method has made
great progress both in Germany and
in the United States. 1t has already
been adopted as part of the public
school system in Boston, and it is to
be hoped that it may vet be intro
duced throughout the Union.

THE NEW REFORM INSIGHT.

President Grantbefore he signs any
of the numerous private bills that are
annually hurried through Congress
without much consideration, has es-
tablished practice of sending every
one to the Department to which it ap-
pertains, for thorough and rigid ex-
animation before signing the same
This new system has already enabled
him to detect several frauds, for he
has vetoed some halfdozen private
bills already ; and the care thus taken
has not only saved the Government
large sums, but has prevented the es-
tablishment of precedents which
would have cost much more.

OUR WARRINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, June 6, 1872.
THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.
All accounts concur that the Con-
vention is an assemblage of the rep
resentative men of our country Eye
witnesses besr testimony that "A more
intelligent and solid assemblage has
rarely gathered in the United States.
Considering that the nomination of
Grant was foregone conclusion there
is very considerable enthusiasm man
ifosted.
The speech of Gerrett Smith was
not only effective in itself, butremark-
able as coming from veteran in the
abolition cause and one who had long
retired from partisan conflicts.
MEETING cOLFAx AND GRANT.
This morning while walking up the
Avenue l happened to meet Schuyler
Colfax, who seemed to be more dis
turbed and anxious than usual for
q gentleman of such smiling and pre-
possessing appearance. We passed
the usual salutation, but he hurried
on as one exceedingly preoccupied
Not far behind came the President,
taking his accustomed walk with the
inevitable cigar in his mouth, looking
as unconcerned as he did on the day
of the fall of Richmond or the surren-
der of Lee. Perfect self-pssession
seems TO be his leading characteristic.
ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION.
The Free Trade men who lost the
control of the Cincinnati Convention
by the maneuvers ofGratz Brown and
the Greeley strikers are determined
not to submit to the swindle. 1t is un-
derstOOd that another Convention
will be called to meet at Cincinnati
on the fourth of July for the purpose
of nominating candidates and present
ing them to the Baltimore Democratic
Convention for its acceptance. Thus
our Democratic friends will be placed
like the ass between two bundles of
hay, and it is hard to tell by which
side they will be attracted. 1t is of
no consequence however, which way
the minority sides, for it is believed that
the Republican party has clear ma
jority in IA sufficient number of states
to secure the election of Grant.

For the Advertiser. :

Mr.. ED1ToR-The Oat crop seems to
be attracting the attention of the good
people of this vicinity as Of vital import
to their future success in farming; and
indeed we can plant no crop in this Sec
ton that will SO amply repay the farmer
for his labor. Our particular friend Mr..
D., and his protege Mr.. L., have been
terribly successful with their high. pres
sure, double-jointed, Red Rust Proof
Oats this year. We admit the fact. But
there are others who have been equally
successful by sowing oats among their
cotton when blowing the last time in
August. And yet they do not hang out
such Drummond light as our aforesaid
friends. But still we do like for men,
and women too, TO "let their light shine" "
Mr.. Editor, what want ito be after
telling you" is "what I know about
raising Oats" On the 2Otb of last March
u friend of mine found few bushels OF
black Oats slowed away in close prox-
unity to ton of Soluble Stono Guano !;
the horses refused to eat them, as they
-had;ts. very ancient end. fshlikesmell;''
consequently they were sowed on very
poor land about the last OF March; they
came up well, grew oti rapidly, and
made a very fine crop, Notwithstanding
the drought in April and May.
The escaping ammonia from the Qua
no was absorbed by the Oats to such a
degree that the application of it in bulk
was entirely superseded and his guano
saved to farther fructify corn and cotton.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if our great Oat men
would always keep ton or two of the
above named guano, or some other sort
equally as sensitive to the olfilctory, and
house their seed Oats with it, they could
sell them at high price, and insure the
purchaser from thirty to forty bushels
per acre on any land that will grow the
Oat.
Look out for a great decline in Oats
and Kinards Improved Cotton Seed, at
SHATTERFIEID.

The. Editor of the Lancaster Ledger,
with the renegade Jas. L. Orr as his
subject of comment, talks out truthfully
and boldly, and in manner that. must
please all who love South Carolina and
South Carolinians. His Language is
plain" and cuts to the quick; and he
has no hopes of reformation in the Radi-
cal ranks under the leadership of the in
famous Orr. From the Ledger of the
11th, we quote as follows:
A correspondent of the Charleston
Neics sets forth the opinions Of Jas. L.
Orr upon the. present and future condi-
ton of the State. He takes decided
grounds against the present corrupt ring
Of thieves in Folum bia, and seeks to in
stitute' reform lin the Radical party
(which will lead to their overthrow. AL
that Judge Orr says is, no doubt, true,
and then the fiftieth part is not told; bat
the difficulty with which the Judge will
have to contend is, to make his own, or
any considerable portion Of the Conser-
vative party, believe that he is any better
than Scott or Neagle.

Joined the negro race in the persecution
of the very citizens who had conferred
upon him distinguished honors-and this
act of his, helndirectly admits, was for
Office. Orr has always been an office
seeker, and, as he says, an office holder.
He never hsd.any principles but what
he would chanGoip the course of day.
in order to lsechre an office. He never
could he relied upon twenty-four hours
at a timc-hcnce, it appears rather singu--
lar that a paper with such distinguished
record as the Charleston -Nc'rS, should
regard the opinions of the Judge with
more than ordinary interest. III there
had been left in the Bosom of the white
citizen the least respect for this notorious
renegade, his speech ut Philadelphia, de-
flaming theirclla:acter, and, rs amdnight
assassin, stabbing them TO the heart, his
self-respcct would have repelcd it. Be-
tween Orr and Scott VIC see 10 difference.
Scott has robbed us Of our money--Orr
made his greatest effort, before the as-
senlbled States, To rob us Of our good
name. Those who value their character
mnre than trash would not hesitate long.
We never expected anything from Scott
and his thieves, but we did, though the.
mighty had fallen, expect better things
from lIX-Gov. Jas. /. Orr tlian his de-
l;lmatory speech at Philadelphia.
We favor reform, and we are frank to
admit, that REFORM in thcStatc must come
from the dominant party-but we "can't
see it, in James L. Orr.

A Pertinent Question.

Abiding to the rillage of the ten South
ern States since the war, Theodore Tilton
IN the Golden -lge, very pcrtinently
asks:
What has become of all this sQuan'
tlcrcd money? Nobody knows--exccpt
the purloiners Of it, who are the carpet
baggers themselves. They can tell where
it is-but nobody else can. They have
stolen it from an impoverished people
and used it to enrich themselves. Theil
administration, beginning in usurpatior
and ending in rapine, constitutes one o.
the blackest blots on modern civilization
IF the Southern people are to get nd bet
ter idea of the North than is reflected tc
them from the hideous spectacle present
ed by these swindling and thieying car
pet bag Governors and Legislatures
with their rings, and rings within rings
they will never cease to hate us These
wretched and tlamnable State admins
trations should be swept away like the
Tammany rcgime-cleansed like the Au.
gean stables-expelled like the money
changers from the Temple. Every vote
for Grant is vote to sustain these villains
and their villainy. Every votc'for Gree
ley is blow fortheir destruction"
