SCHOOL MATTERS.

The Cleveland Leader of the 9th says.
Last evening the Superintendents' meet
ing was held at the Office of Superinten-
dent Kickoff, Prof. Alexander Forbes, of
this city, in the chair. The meeting was
rather an informal one, but the question
Does the course of study recommend
ed and published by this Association in
1870 meet present requirements 2 was
discussed at some length, majority of
those present taking part. At the con-
clusion of this free expression of opinion,
Prof. S. Findley, Of Akron, introduced
the following, which was decided in the
affirmative: "Does the course of study
as recommended some years ago teach
too many study in the common schools2"
Following this Mr.. Findley called for in
formation as to how much object teach
ing is had in the schools in North Eastern
Ohio. On this subject there was full
expression, from which it appeared that
object teaching is laid down in the cour-
ses of many ofthe schools, but is taught
very little and imperfectly at that. A
motion was carried to appoint, in the
meeting this afternoon, a committee to
revibe the course of study as recommen-
ded in 1870, after which the meeting ad'
journed.

In reply to some criticisms Of the Chi.
cago Times, Mr.. M. G. Butler, Senatorial
claimant from South Carolina, writes to
that journal:
ut is true that 1 have been charged
with instigating the Hamburg riot by
those who had political purpose toac.
complisb by 80 charging me; but l had
no more to do with instigating that riot
than you had, and no more to do with
killing the negroes than you had. No
effort has been made chat am aware of
to induce the President to discontinue
the prosecution against the Hamburg
butchers. On the contrary, the persons
charged have been trying for nearly a
year to have indictments issued against
them, and referred to the grand jury,
with view to full and thorough inves-
tigation, and so far have failed; therefore
no effort could have been made to have
discontinued what was never undertaken
or begun. l have never owned pack OF
Russian bloodhounds or hounds of any

THE MAN OF BLOOD AND IRON.

tits painful to witness the fact that one
man has the civilized world subject and
trembling at his beck and cal, and that
one man not entirely humanl Yet, it is
so, and the European "balance of power"
so much sought for by the late Lord
Palmerston, Sir Robert Peel, and the
present Lord John Russell and Marquis
of Lanesdowne-is merely an expression
on paper. It is now the balance of Bis
marck. He is the giant of European des-
tiny. His one word of peace or war
would upset the thrones, the royal dry
rot Of Europe, in moment. Wealth and
power would tumble at his nod. What
the Rothschilds are to the financial world
so Bismarck is to the policy of nations

PROCTOR KNOTT ON HAYESLSM.

From the Louisville Courier. .JournaL]
Taylorsville, Spencer county, KY, June
2, IS77.-The Hon. ]. Proctor Knott ad-
dressed the people of spencer county to-
day on some of the political issues OF the
times. He revealed the sources OF the
corrupting power that have been prevail
ing in the Republican party for the past
ten years. He gave an inside view OF
political courses and the tortuous work
ings of party measures and authority. AT
some length he referred to the great fraud
practised upon the American people in
the setting up of usurping President
and while he did not counsel resistance
yet he would have the rising generation
taught that Hayes held the office by
fraud. The resolution passed by the
lower House, which had really the sole
Jurisdiction on the question. was on rec
ord, and would be transmitted to posteri-
ty to show how fraud had prevailed. lie
declared Hayes's "policy" was only a
matter of policy rather than OF necessity
a. d that the South owed nothing to him
for any quiet or relief He offered a full
vindication of his own course in all his
official acts to his constituents, hoping
they would approve his course.
He closed by asserting, though not a
prophet, that the next few years would
reveal an amount ofCorruption heretofore
unexampled in all our history. Various
iniquitoussc schemes, some Of which are now
Matching, would be brought forward to
''revive the dropping energies OF the
South" urged by rings and Cliques for
selfinterest, while the dear people would
have to "pay." He spoke over two hours
to large and interested audience, who
listened with deep interest to his calm
earnest, and thoughtful statements con
corning the perils of the times. Some
said it was the best speech he ever deliv-
cred here

WASHINGTON.
The Maine Election.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The opinion
of politicians of both parties here is
that the result of the Maine election
will be barren of any influence on ma
tional politics. 1t is learned that the
entire canvass was the quietest that
has taken place in that state for many
years, neither party showing the least
excitement on the subject. The COM
paratively large vote which the Green
back candidate received is q source of
some surprise. The votes for the
Greenback candidates are said to have
come almost altogether from the Re-
publicans.
