The State Hoase.

The fact that the police around this
building we're more vigilant than usual
! yesterday led one to suspect that some new
movement was about to be entered upon
by the Democratic wing of the General As
sembly. Upon inquiry it was learned that
they were actually preparing to attempt
the execution of another coup detat 1,
was reported that they were coming to the
State House yesterday morning in body,
and that with the aid of outsiders, who
would enter with them, they meant to make
| one more effort to get control of the House
by grabbing the gavel and attempting to
sustain the unlawful organization made by
them On the fourth instant. To avoid such
indecorous scenes, and prevent the possi-
bility of bloodshed, the police were in.
structed to be more vigilant, and see that
none but legally returned members of the
Legislature be permitted to enter with the
Democratic wing of the General Assembly.
should they conclude to come in body and
demand admittance. We understand the
door of the State House has always been
open to legally returned members, and in
fact to all persons peacefully inclined. but
that it has been found absolutely necessary
to shut out the turbulent Democracy that
want to have things all their own way.

very severely Oh m article which sppesred
in the Bee regarding she attempted bribery.
He said ne had read the article and found
it TO be false ii all respects but one. The
Bee had called him q negro. and in that it
was correct. He was . negro; one, too. that

LEoNARprowS, Dec. Is, 1875.

Messrs. Editors II tender you NV
sincere thanks for publishing in the
BEACON my circular to the Democratic
members of the House of Representa-
tives. and especially for your common
dation and wishes for my success as
candidate for the office of Sergeant-at-
Arms. My thanks are also due for
similar notice taken Of my application
to the Montgomery Sentinel, the New
nan (Ga.) Herald and New York Day
Book, and probably to other thorough
democratic journals. As set-off to
their favorable consideration, | have
been assailed by other papers profess
ing democratic principles, not only for
the opinions and wishes expressed in
mr. circular, but The most unbecoming
and offensive epithets have beenapplied
to me personally. ironclad Bourbon"
''unrepentant rebel. "''lunatic" and even
foo" are specimens of their notice of
me-.
To the first charge, in the proper APP
plication of it, plead guilty. The
charge of being Bourbon indicates. no
doubt, reproach by those who make il.
for not forgetting the chief duty and
obligation of an American citizen to re-
collect aud support the Constitution of
his country. That instrument should
lie held sacred by him as the great
foundation stone of his liberty and his
earthly happiness. 1t should never be
changed by custom or force. but ouly
by the mode provided within itself-the
yfHu consent Of three-four,hs OF the
States-any other mode of change be-
ing utterly null and void. On these
points the American patriot should be
invincibly ''ironclad' and hold the
fort"
But what offences have / committed
TO justify the ether epithets or charges
made against me? Even many of NV
friends who were anxious for nv sue
cess were somewhat shocked in what
they called my rashness in making the
developments contained in my circular,
and considered my prospects complete
" marred for that reason. Inthis tbey
did not take counsel from their own
honest hearts and Judgments. but from
the sneakiug character of politics and
politicians. A man who seeks Office in
these degenerate days must not be too
frank. He should learn to suppress

CoSaREss.-The proceedings Of Con-
gress since its present meeting have
been without special interest, the lower
branch not having yet gotten into
working condition. It 10 expected,
however, that the different committees
will be constituted by the Speaker in
a few days, but nothing in way Of earn
est, serious business 10 likely to be
brought up until after the coming
Christmas Holidays. The majority
appear to be bent upon reform and re-
trenchment Investigations, and in this
connection. very many interesting de-
seiopments may be expected. In the
Senate, the Republicans have commenced
business BY giving an unfair organiza-
ton to some of the committees, par.
t;cularly to that on Finance. This il
likely and certainly ought to lead to
retaliation on the part of the lower
Aouse. The more bitterly the fwo
parties in Congress are antagonized the
the greater the likelihood Of a thorough
and searching investigation into all
matters of corruption and misgovern-
ment.

Ills wounds have been attended to and
were pronounced not to be of serious

Henry Simpson, colored, was also on
the same day brought before Justice

TEE PRrsrDEET's MEssAGE.-The
only thing in the Presidents Message
which seems to have arrested special
public attention is bis proposition to
amend the Constitution by the adoption
of provision requiring the several
States to establish and forever maintain
free public schools adequate 10. atleast,
the rudimen.ary education of all children
irrespective or color, sex nationality or
religion; forbidding, however, the teach
ing in such schools or inculcation of pagan
or atheistic tenets, or the bestowal of
school funds TO any religious denomi-.
nation Cor educational purposes. He
also objects to the accumulation of vast
amodnts of untaxsd church property,
and says that class of property in the
United States in 1875 amounts to ST..
00O, 100000. He recommends the tax
alton of all such property, exempting
only cemeteries and limited edifices for
churches. Beyond these suggestions,
the Message is quite as fiat az public
Messages generally are, the present
one, however showing evidence Of care
and ability in preparation.

Messrs. Edieors Please allow me .
small space in your paper, for the pur-
pose Of making few remarks, ard
asking few questions of nv fellow
teachers of the public schools of st.
Mary's County. Teachers aud the pub
lie generally concede that teachers as
sociations are benefit to teachers, pu-
pills, patrons and the public,--associa-
tions in which teachers meet for the
purpose of interchanging views upon
the methods of teaching and subjects of
instruction. No teacher Of common
sense will but admit that there 10
great advantage to be gained by attend
ing these associations. If so, why,
l ask of the teachers, is it that our as
sociations are 30 sparsely attended P
Is it because we have undergone a
searching examination and received
certificates of qualification, and thereby
are content to rest upon our laurels
If so, better, far better, 1 would say,
had it been that We received no certiti-
Gates at all, or our attendance upon the
associations had been made imperative

we lost interest in public education
If SO. why Do we think that our
teaching capacity is good enough p
Have we such q conceit of ourselves
as TO believe We should know no more
than what we are to impart TO orr pu.
pills? Can we improve ourselves by meet
ing in common council? These are
questions which ask nv fellow-teach-
ers to consider well and answer.
We have formed associations, and
we should adhere to the rules. weshould

Lord has said, "A house divided against
