in the public school house in
Lancaster, commencing August 7th
and ending August 19-the last two
days being devoted to teachers OK,
aminations. The Institute was con
Quoted by Profs. D. McGregor, OF
the Plattevlle Normal School, and
A. f. North, of Waukesha. Both
are learned Scotohmen who brought
their Scotch over the waters with
them and cling to it with Scotch
tonacity. Other men who have
found room in the upper story OF the
teachers profession were present,
such as Mr.. Philip Eden, of Plat e.
vile, Mr.. Patrick Barley, of Bloom
ington, Mr.. Lewis e. Cooley, of Ash
land and Mr.. John Brindley, of Bos.
cobol. Mr.. Horny Jane, of Shulls-
burg, Co. superintendent OF La Fay
cite, was also present. The Institute
was conducted after the mannar of
q school, that ie, as u school ought to
be conducted The teachers wore
divided into classes and their recita-
tions were heard. Glasses in spellin',
readln', 'rithme,ic. Biography"
grammar, history, algebra, the Con-
stitution and a, b, c's. There were
lessons and instruction IN practical
government, but no instances of cor.
poral punishment i'll this school, as
there might have been, with effect.
The Institute was designed to teach
teachers how to teach. Its Conduct
ors are quite competent to that
object Their, is a disposition 10 give
and receive instruction, in these
days, without labor to make head
way with everything as if it were
play. The teacher who can't please
the pupils and their parents is ac-
counted failure. Some OF them
please by playing with the scholars,
some by giving frequent holidays,
some by putting in tho time with
idle songs, some by permitting the
youths and misses TO go out in
couples TO study under the shad
of the trees, some by fiattery, some
by coaxing the good children to en-
dure without murmer the cuffs and
jeers of the rougher scholars-any
way TO please. A large proportion
of our schools arc mere "rings"
through which mothers shirk the
care and government of their super
numerary children, and the teachers
are the favorites who are fed on
public money. But we started out to
make record of the Institute, not to
lecture teachers and parents. In
making this record tho dry pro-
gramme of Prayer at 8:45, Spelling
at 8, Reading at 9:20, Arithmetic at
9:45, and so on through all the hours
of two weeks, must not be expected

Frederick Douglass, j., in a letter 10
she Washington Chronicle, says:
81 am not at all surprised at the
state of affairs in the Southern States
among the colored people, when l take
into consideration the class of white
republicans who have misled them ever
since they became citizens, for their
own selfish ends. The colored people
of the South have been made to believe
from the start by their pretended res
publican friends that there was money
in politics, SO much so that it has been
impossible in very many instances to
get good, honest colored men in Office,
because they could not be used to wink
at whatever white republicans might do
that was corrupt. The most illiterate.
unprincipled colored men are generally
chosen for Office by the white republi-
cans of the South because they are
easier to manipulate. White men have
been elected to Office by negro votes
who scarcely had second shirt to their
backs before being installed in office !;
few months later they are sporting
fine horses, gold watches and chains,
smoking fine cigars, and purchasing
fine dwellings,, &c. The black man
notices this, and immediately makes up
his mind that the next time he is asked
to vote he must have an Office, whether
Competent or not.

After all the Radical growing over
their victory. it turns out, according to
the latest news from Vermont that has
come to hand, that the returns from one
hundred and thirty towns show Re-
publican gain of 39 per cent, with a
Democratic gain of 70 per cent. over
the vote of 1871, showing net Dem
ocratic gam. of thirty foe per cent. In
no election within twelve years in
Vermont has the Republican ticket re-
ceived so small a proportion Of the
total vote as in this election. The same
percentage of gain would give the
Democracy nearly every State in the
Union.
A few more such victories for the
Radicals would prove their ruin !

BOARDING.
Our party are scattered about tn c
city boarding at hotels, and private
boarding houses. The prices OF board
runs from five dollars per week to four
or FIVE dollars per day, very good board
in private families has been secured al
one dollar per day. The expenses in'
GLIDING admission into the grounds are
not greater than those Of parties visiting
any city for the same length of time
The crowd which was expected early
in the season did not come, and many
who expected crowds of boarders
at high prices were disappointed, and
are now willing to furnish boarding al
reasonable figures. The cattle, horse,
and dog shows were In full operation
this week. The display of animals Is
creditable, and the number of visitors
fully as large as was expected. These
few lines hastily written, may interest
some who have not yet visited the ex-
hibition. I now close in order to visit
the grounds.
