Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, is
President pro TEN. of the Senate. A
special friend of President Grants his
conduct at Long Branch upon recent
occasion has shocked even the proprie-
ties of a partisan press. Mr.. Carpenter,
short time since, made long speech
in defense Of the salary steal. One Of
the points which he made was that a
Congressman should receive salary SUI
fficient to support himself and family in
respectable style in Washington. He
lntimated that if Congressman's wife
and family were not with him, there was
very great danger that some one else
would be. Mr. Carpenter was recently
at New York and Long Branch, and a.
the latter place was refused admission to
hote! " for reasons fully understood by
himself and the proprietor.
Senator Carpenter, alongside ofa TO-
ted courtczan in open carr &c ut Long
Branch, salutes the President Of the
United States and exchanges with him a
ribald Joke in his maudling condition.
Mr. Carpenter is married man and IS
credited with saying that while his wife
runs the church he rams the State. His
position as prominent member Of the
Radical party, and as President pro ten.
Of tie United SEatcs Scna:c, does not
give him the right 10 outrage public sen,
timcnt and public deccncy by display OF
his drunkenness and shameful immoral
ity. What next?

There are many ways of shaking
hands, and most of them are disagree
able ones. There is the fishy way, the
suubbing way, and the pumping way,
and, the worst of all. which is the
hearty way. When friend is so glad
to see you that be cIushes your hand
in his joy, and renders you incapable OF
manual labor for eleven years, it is
nearly time that friendship should be-
come lost sentiment. This is what
happened to poor fellow in New
Hamshire, whose sad case should serve
as warning to the Americon people
The most inveterate and unreasonable
handshakers in the world.

The brilliant glow of an August after.
noon lay upon the sparkling waters of
Sodus Bay \ pleasant party in a little
boat went merril ly trolling about, and all
was harmony and fish. But alas a fear
ful catastrophe approached. One beau
tiful girl Of fifty summers or so, whose
bright soul had anticipated nothing but
joy from the excursion, suddenly found
that fish had taken her hook. Swectly
smiling in her glee, she bent to lift her
victim in'o the boat, when to her mex
pressible dismay her gold plate, teeth,
ETC., gently fell into the waves. What
did that strange fish do but shake the
spoon from its mouth, seize the shining
prey, and disappear in the deep, deep
water, while a wild scream rang from
shore to shore, piercing:the very heart of
all who heard. What the fish will do
with his investment remains to be seen;
as tor the young lady she never smiles

A Job,

We understand that Smalls is putting
MP a little job to sell the building occu-
pied at present as the Standard Office to
the government to be used as post office
and custom house. SmaDs recently pur-
chased the building at sheriffs sale for
twenty-four hundred dollars, and is now
willing to sacrifice 1t to the government
for the modest sum of fifteen thousand.
In order that the government officials
may understand the nature of the trans
action, we will inform them that better
building with better wharf accommoda-
tions can be purchased for one third of
the price.

The Worms.

Information from the islands leads
us to believe that the catcrpillars are fast
destroying the cotton crop. Many crops
are already destroyed, Mr. L. w. Doane
agent for Alden & Waters, on ST. Helena
has applied the Paris Green, and says it
destroys the worms but AMONG most OF
the planters there seems to be either a
lack of confidence in it, or the opinion
that it will not pay to apply it with every
succeeding brood Of the worms, which they
claim is necessary to save the crop,

any such funds except on the order of

higher mental cultivation than that
which is afforded by our common
schools. Before parents should expect
to have their children correctly edu-
Gated, they must place their schools in
the hands Of competent teachers. Now
the course oflearnipg in our common
schools is not sufficient to make COM
peten. teachers Hence, many Of the
young men and women Of our couaty
who are willing to engage in this use

situations Of learning abroad, will be
forced, unprsparcd, upon tho public,
or the schools must close. The latter
will no. be done; the former has been
the practice heretofore, aud will con-
tiuue until steps will have been taken
to prevent this public injustice.
High schools are necessary to pre-.
psrO the teacher for his work. The
idea Of q teacher giving instructions to
class Of pupils when he knows but
very little more than they do, is really
ridiculous.
The school law allows the Board Of
Education Of any District TO establish
a high school; but 10 one district in
this county could support such a
school. But the law also provides
that two or more districts may estab.
liSh jointly a high school. This is
Just what the educational interest Of
our county demands. Think that the
Boards Of Education Of tho several
districts ihsull, in proper time, see to
this subject, and avail themselves Of
the advantage Of this provision Of law.
In order to have q higher system Of
education, the Districts might obtain q
separate apartment in the Weston
Academy. A high school so organ.
lied would DO entirely under the con.
troll Of the several Boards Of Educa.

In conclusion, ! will remark that
the people Of Lewis county, With

We pause for a Reply,

1t has been so often asserted Of late
by thu friends Of Mr. Jacob here that
the Governor had been SO deprived Of
bis Constitutional powers, by the action
cf the Legislature aud tho decision Of
the Supreme Court Of Appeals, that he
is now "a mere figure head"-simply
drawing the salary Of Governor. with
none Of the duties Of that office to per.
form. Wa haze not troubled our
readers a great deal with politics, Of
late; but this bare and aimsJ assertion
has gone far enough, aud we desire
any one or all the gentlemen above re
ferred to, to answer US this question
"of what power has the Governor
been deprived that no heretofore exer
ciscd Z" This is a question which on
who talks readily Ofthe matter, ought I
be able to answer with oil slse. Cal
wo prevail on one Of them to answer It
We pause for replyl
The fact is, the Governor now ha
every jet and title Of power now b
eycrhad, either under the old COusti!u
ton or the new, save and except tn
appointment Of nine directors for tn
State Crazy House. viii any Of til
faithful deny this proposition? Agai
