Affairs in Louisiana have become
quiet. Even the Republican attack
upon pcuccable people ut Bayou Sara
has suhsidcd. The effect of tho late
disorder will be less upon National
politics in the several States than was
anticipated. If there shall be any apprc-
ciabie results ut the polls traccabic to
these difficulties, it will probably
become apparent in an opposite manner
TO That intended or expected. II was
hoped by the Republicans and feared
by the democrats that these riotous
proceedings would rebound to the glory
and add TO tho success of the Admin
istration. 1t will doubtless have the
reverse effect. The attitude OF tho
Democratic party toward the question
has commanded the respect OF men,
1t has shown itself to be the friend of
law and order when there was most
narrowing provocation not to do so.
The attention of all tho people has been
called to the actual condition in I.otiisi-
ana and in the South, as it has been
! called before. The truth Is nearer
! becoming known than il has ever been,
! and this shall make the sufferers free

can people which will not tolerate the

! OBJECT TEACHING.
Correspondence Huntington Advertiser.

d.
This principle of instruction by object
teaching, az it has been called, but which
I shoaId prefer to call by some other
na,ne) is nothing new in principle, for il
is fully carried out in Natures teachings
in early childhood, and it is the principle
upon which nearly all valuable knowl-
edge has been accumulated in the pro-
gressive civilization of our race. 1t isnot
new, however, in its application to the
methods of early childhood instruction, in
which think shall show we have most
departed from nature. and from enlight-
ened experience. But believe the great
error in our system OF primary teaching,
IN the past and present, is the prevalent
idea that We should view every subject as
a completed science, that we should re-
duce the science to its so-called elements,
ard begin with these elements; this, you
see, is total inversion of the order in
which every science has been built up in
the growth of the race, and opposed also
to the order of mental development, and
consequently to the principle upon which
knowledge is obtained by the child
What now call the elements of sub
ject are the expressions of its general
truths, the final results-the few general
facts or principles which science has de-
duced from large collection of facts af-
ter the structure has been Completed
What are the elementary sounds of our
language but the results of investigation
by scholars after the language had alta ned
It's present degree of development, and
vet even scholars do not agree as to the
number and character of these sounds ;
nor are they the same in all languages
Let us remember that the rudimentary
facts OF a science are one thing and its ell
emen,ary principles another; the facts
are the first things learned, land they by
simple perception; the principles are the
things to be learned, and they are ac-
quired by a much more advanced mental
process-that of generalization. Nature,
dealing only with facts, reaches the par
ticuars, and We make the generalization.
Hence we see why our perceptions are
right and why our rules and principles
are often wrong. The letters are first pre-
sented to the child and he is told that
these are the elements which compose a
word, vet he has rs little knowledge of the
meaning of the words as We have OF the
beings which inhabit the moon. Next
he is given long list OF words to spell,
which are wholly unmeaning TO him
therefore we have departed from Natures
rule. / believe there are some very I'M
portant principles in this system of Ma.
lures teachings that shonld b. considered
and adopted in arranging a system of school
instruction.
Hereafter propose to point out few
of those principles, and hope, by showing
how far We have departed from them, "a
indicate system more in accordance with
that of Nature.

A SIGNIFICANT AvOWAL.
Tie Senatorial Contest-What II
Means
HUNTINGTON, Dec. 20 1874
EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER:


EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER:
AMONG the many candidates be-
fore the Legislature for United States
Senator, the Radicals appear to have
made a choice. The last number of
the Parkersburg Journal, edited by
Governor Stevenson, takes bold
ground for j. n. Camden Esq. 1t
might be well enough for us to know
what Mr.. Camden has been doing
that he has received this sort ofhelp.
A good many people voted for Mr..
Camden in 1872, (slthough they pre-
ferred jacob because his, Cam
den's) friends said that the Radicals
were going to vote for Jacob, and
that the candidate of the Radicals
must of necessity be a Radical him
self. Does Camden and his friends
desire us to estimate him as he had
US estimate Jacob? Is it not logical
to do so?
Another thing. One of the most
influential Camden men We had III
1872, was Henry S. Walker, and he
did Camden a great deal of good in
this part of the State. Now because
Walker happens to be opposed to
Camden for the Senate, the Camden
Radical papers cannot say anything
too mean about him. Now it strikes
me that if Walker was good enough
to work for Camden in 1872, he is
good enough to receive decent treat
ment at Camden's hands in 1874.
The secret of the whole matter
seems to be this: Walkers friends
have urged his election because OF
his ability and services to the party,
and because he could not be CONTROL.
ed by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail,
road, or by the Bondholders monopo
", and that he could be faithful tc
West Virginia's interest, especially
as involved in the completion Of the
James River and Kanawha Canal.
Camden on the other hand is Direc
tor of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, which, through Senator Davis,
has been fighting the proposed Canal
and which is pushing Camden's cleo
ton to strengthen its power in the
Senate. Camden is also identified
with the Bond, or eastern money in
terest, in whose behalf Senator Davis
has been acting, and whose interests
are in direct antagonism to those O.
our State, and especially the Sd Dis
trict. What Walkers friends have
said in his behalf, has brought hin
squarely in opposition to Camden''
candidacy and the purpose it repre-
sents, and hence l suppose the bitter
ness with which he has been assai,ed
The Journal admits the fact tina
the Senatorial race will be between
Camden and Walker. This / alsc
recognize, and | recognize the furtheI
tact, evident from what | have sale
before, that what would seem a mer,
personal contest is actually a struggl,
between monopoly and anti-monOpo
| "; between the Baltimore and Obi,
Road and the people-between tn,
Bondholders and the taxpayers.
Other things being equal, | woult
have preferred for Senator an olde
man than either of these-one les

AIKEN, SOUTH CAR0LINA.-Among
the numerous places of resort in the
South for those whose health will not
permit them to undergo the rigors of
u northern winter, none has of late at
tracted more attention than the city
of Aiken, S. c. Especially do those
suffering from pulmonary complaints
derive great benefit from a residence
there. The public accommodations
at Aiken have always been of a very
acceptable character, but those who
purpose sojOurn, will be pleased to
learn that an important change has
lust been made in the aiken House"
the leading hotel of the city. Col.
Albert Maxwell, for some years in
charge at the Manhattan and Union
Clubs in New York City, and more re-
Gently one of the proprietors and man
ayers OF the celebrated Cooper House
at Cooperstown, n. Y, has leased the
"Aiken House, and will have it up-
der his Immediate direction and super
vision. We have the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance with Col NJ,
and can bear testimony to his high
character as a gentleman and his su
perior qualifications for the position
he occupies. Under his charge, the
public may rest assured that the "Ai-
ken House" will not be excelled, in
any department by any other estab-
lishment in the Southern States.

HUNTINGTON INSURANCE CoMPA
NrEs-We notice that some of the
State papers are endeavoring to in
jure the standing of Huntington In
surance Companies, copying the ar
ticles in some of the New York In
surance Journals, which, at least some
of them, are regular matchmaking
concerns, in which a fifty dollars
will have the effect of changing
"wild cat concern" into "a prompt
paying and reliable company" We
have not got that far along yet. All
that is needed in an Insurance Com
pany, is that it shall be carried on, on
correct principles, and that it shall
be ready to pay all losses.
The Mineral Mountain Insurance
Company. of this City has been in
operation nearly year, and has
been conducted in a very careful
manner. 1t does not aspire to heavy
risks on any class of property, but
writes small lines well scattered. 1t
has done a large business, and has
experienced but two losses since it
went into operation, which in the ag-
gregate amount to less than a thou
sand dollars, and which have prompt
ly been paid.
1t is much easier to bring accusa-
tons against and to injure the credit
of a Company, than it is to disprove
them, but the Mineral Mountain is
taking the only true course, which is
to do careful business and be pre-
pared to pay all losses.
