THE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY AND
THE CRISIS

A day or two since we commented at some
length upon proposition embodied in
Courier-Journal editorial article, the pur-
port of which was to inaugurate Mr.. Tilden
president and Mr.. Wheeler vice president
The Courier-Journal spplauded the motive
that prompted the proposition, but declined
to pass upon its merits" If the PROPOSE
ton had merits the democratic readers of
the Courier-Journal failed TO discover them
and at once sent in their circumstances
After the reception of these circumstances
the Courier-Journal modified its APP
plause somewhat and gave utterance
to brave words. Ia yesterdays issue writer
over the letter 'J'' comes to the rescue OF the
Courier-Journal. He says:
am surprised to find in yesterday S Indian
apolis Sentinel an editorial rejecting some
what severely upon the position recently taken
by your paper as to the course that should be
pursued by the democratic party upon the all
absorbing question OF the hour, the late presl-
Dental election. While my eye did not fall
upon your first article TO which the editor of
the Sentinel takes exception, there was GER
advanced fighting democrat of Indiana (of
which, from the tone OF the Sentinel, there is
none more so than its editor could object.
The writer admits his ignorance of what
he attempts to discuss, and as consequence
makes an exceedingly limping defense
Of his organ. "J' is not only
ignorant of the proposition that the
Courier-Journal published, the motive of
which Mr.. Watterson applauded, but he
seems to be equally oblivious of the fact
that democrats promptly sent in their re-
monstrances. Nor is this the sum total of
''Jsp ignorance, for he insinuatingly misrep-
resents the Sentinel. The Sentinel has had
very little to say about war and fighting.
We are by no means unmindful of the fact
that the internal radical crew, who have rob-
bed the democratic party of declared victory
in those states by frauds and military usurpa-
ton, contemplates other measures still more
infamous TO retain power in the hands OF
the radical party. We have not failed to
note tire warlike preparations that Grant is
making, nor the supreme satisfaction exhibit
ted by radical leaders when speaking OF the
military appliances at their command to
force people to yield up their rights and
their liberties We are willing to admit the
possibility of war. The radical leaders art
laboring under the delusion that millions Of
| freemen will submit to the DEGREES of re
turning boards without struggle if moi
without a protest. From this, however
they will awake in due time. The demo
cratic party and men of all parties who
abhor fraud and military despotism
are now celebrating Their cause is sustain
ed by law, constitutions and justice; theil
rights win be asserted in the popular assem-
blages of the people, where, il any where

1t is the opinion OF writer in the School
Bulletin that 1.-The greatest difficulty against
which teachers of the natural sciences have
to contend, is the wretched habits of study
the pupils bring with them from the lower
schools It is the writer's practice to devote
considerable time at the beginning of these
courses to the formation of correct habits of
thought. 1t cannot be done altogether in
the class room. An hour spent with pupil
over a lesson will be of far greater value
than proportional time at the lecture or
recitation. They are taught TO study
with the understanding; TO grasp
the leading ideas upon which the
whole lesson depends; and TO bring
the whole into unific form. In the
class room considerable time is given to
making abstracts. or skeletons of topics. and
to the analysis of subjects into their parts
And, finally, the pupils are not allowed to
lose sight of the fact that the narrow view
of these subjects obtained in short normal
school course is valuable chiefly as founds-
ton for future study and reading"

The sending of United States troops to
Petersburg. Virginia, discloses the way the
elections were managed in the interest of
the radical party. If the facts, as they are
brought to light, do not make the cheeks of
every freeman in the land burn with indig-
nation then indeed have the people Of this
republic reached .unIaeasured depths o.
slavish degradation. Grants message is i'm
perious, and ShermanS communication
is distilled impudence. For an apprehended
breach of the peace in a sovereign state, Sher-
man forthwith sends United States troops
with loaded muskets to commit murder in
the interest of the radical party. 1t was in
this way that Grant and Zach Chandler and
the managers generally plotted to elect
Hayes, and that w. T. Sherman who ought
to be at once kicked out OF the service, gave
his approval and the aid OF his official au-
thority.
