BAY VIEW, August 25th, 1876.
To tie Editor Of Tile Cecil WAig:-The
undersigned, trustees and patrons of Burns
school No. 8, in the Fifth Election District
Of Cecil county, noticing in your published
report of the proceedings of the Board of
School Commissioners of Cecil county at
their recent session, that petition, signed
by six persons, protesting to be patrons of
said school, protesting against the confirma-
ton of the teacher appointed to that school,
and charging her with mot keeping time"
and also with "partiality," was filed, deem
public contradiction of such published
charges due said teacher. We hereby pro-
test against the spirit Of said petition, as
liable to inure said teacher in her vocation;
and we further declare said charges to be
without foundation in fact. This we say
of our personal knowledge, that the ma
ligned lady is thoroughly competent and
entirely acceptable to great majority of
the patrons of said school.

TIE RIVER AND nARBoR BILL

President Grants message to the House
on the River and Harbor bill hangs like a
wet blanket on many of the members who
thought they had their little axes quietly
stored away in this bill. No greater frand
was ever attempted upon the public treas
ury than the unnecessary items of expendi-
lures embodied therein. Tens of thousands
of dollars were put in this bill ostensibly
for the improvement of unnavgable rivers,
for no other purpose than to be used for the
re election of the members of Congress
representing the districts in which said riv-
ers are located. In the face of the boasted
cry of Democratic economy, the public will
judge very properly of its sincerity when
it comes to analyze the individual subsi-
dies that are embraced in this false show
of improving our rivers and harbors; and
at the same time thank the President for
his interposition. If this is Ciesarism, the
more we can get of it the better.

THE RAGGED EDGE.

The various executive departments are
at present distinguished by the excitement
which prevails among the clerks employed
therein. The powers, who hold in their
hands the secrets in regard to the dis
charges are exceedingly reticent, and it is
almost impossible to obtain any exact in
formation either as to the time when the
discharges will be made, or as to the names
of the victims selected. 1t is generally be
lieved, however, that the heads of bureaus
have made up lists Of the names of those
who can best be spared. These chiefs, OF
at least very many of them, having pre-
pared the food for the guillotne, are too
tender hearted to witness the fall of the
axe, and have departed for their Summer
vacations. They leave no address behind,
thus metaphorically stuffing their ears with
cotton, and rendering themselves deaf to
any unwelcome shrieks of agony The
whole unpleasan,ness of the operation is
consequently thrown upon the shoulders OF
the Secretaries and the appointment rooms.

CENTENNIAL VISITORS.

Our city is still crowded with Centennial
visitors, who do the city in squads of from
five to twenty, all enveloped in the indis-
pensabe linen Ulster buster, and carrying
a palm leaf and hand satchel. 1t is esti-
mated that from five to seven hundred visit
the capital daily. While they do not prove
a bonanza to our hotel keepers they are
the means of considerable revenue to our
street vendors of peaches, pine apples and
bananas, which are selling at an unusual
low price. Ones delight, however, at the
cheapneSs of bananas is somewhat damp
ened by sorrow at seeing them thrown
around so promiscuously on the sidewalks,
thereby causing innocent pedestrians to
execute sudden and undignified movements
An unsophisticated and harmless Centen-
NAL visitor don't fancy sitting down sud-
denly and forcibly on our pavements. When
he does he rises up and walks hastily on,
delivering his opinion to his wife in Ian
guage not suitable to him as a deacon of
the church, and which would wiring groan
from his pious friends at home. There is
a time for all things, but when one slides
for yard on a rotten banana aud then sits
down on it, he forgets all about Christian
virtues. Piously yours, J. Ii. p.

REDEMPTION BUREAU

of the Treasury Department yesterday,
the impression of which will not soon pass
away. Owing to the action of the exRebel
House large number of the ladies en-

Union soldiers in that bureau will have
to be dismissed. Taking advantage, how
ever, of the order recently issued allowing
pay up to the 10th of October to all those
who resign Immediately, many of them

from the lap of Bourbon parsimoniousness,
forced these poor women from positions on
which they were wholly dependent for daily
sustenance. Sam Randall's economy has
struck a blow at helpless females which
must give his party great satisfaction, for,
from the action Of the House, it is evident
that that organization took consummate
pleasure in working out distress and suffer

The poets are having hard time of it
trying to rhyme anything with Tilden.
Here's the last frantic effort of our poet in
that line, and there's more truth in it than
poetry:

And the chief corner stone his name is

But when the November storms break DER

There'll be a hole in the ground in that ere

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

shall see me. This was their departing
refrain, and we look forward to the future
and remember i'll the - sweet by and by
we shall see them again. When they left
us the feeling of sadness was only eqIaled
by that experienced when listening TO an
asthmatic organ play "The Last Rose of
Summer" while melancholy monkey, in
an indescribable red garment, squats on the
pavement relieving the monotony by tax
ing off dirty hat every once in while.
AS the New York Tribune puts it: "Not
much was expected from this Congress, and
it has fulfilled expectations to the letter."
Morton's conundrum still remains unan-
swerable: "What one good thing has the
Democratic party accomplished during the
last quarter of a century,"

THE ELECTION LAWS.

Specific instructions will be issued in a
short time by the Attorney General to
United States marshals in every State, H.
structing them in their duties and rights
under the election laws. Under the order
of General Sherman no immediate change
will be made in the stations of any troops
in the States either North or South. A
general order to hold the troops in readi-
ness against any legitimate demand for
assistance to protect voters, is about all
that was contemplated by the order of the
Secretary of War.

The death of Speaker Kerr, although not
unexpected, has nevertheless created feel
ing of sorrow and gloom at the capital In
a remarkable degree he had the confidence
and esteem of all classes of men, without
regard to political opinions, position due,
in large degree, to the soundness of his
Judgment and the purity of his character
On these points no serious doubts were
ENTERTAINERS; and it must, or ought to be, a
matter alike of regret and reproach to the
large number of persons lately engaged in
the work of destroying the character of
prominent men that the death of Mr.. Kerr
was FASTENED by the effort to fix stain
upon his name.

" Not enjoyment and not sorrow

But 10 act, that each tomorrow

After the general remarks in the first number (see
ADVERTISER Of Sept. l6tb) We will now enter in de-
tails and intend to solve the problem who can be
teachers" and 4" how can we procure then? 20 The
government of a country is under the obligation to
protect its subjects. To guard the lives Of its citizens
there are laws which restrict the praeticing Of medi-
cine to persons who are duly qualified, who have
given evidence Of sufficient knowledge Of the human
body go that the sick may with confidence be placed
in their care. Nobody would opine that this law is
unjust, that it infringes upon the rights Of citizens
to earn their bread in the way they prefer. Yet the
danger existing for society in allowing quacks to
practice medicine is comparatively little, as only a
limited number Of lives will be exposed to the results
Of their iucapacity. But how many futures are
spoiled, how many lives blighted; what forces with
drawn from society, and what obstacles put in the
