TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Programme and Proceedings of, held at Cove School, July
 25, 26, and 27, 1877.

History, by T. F. Oates; Mental Arithmetic, W. H. Cardln, Orthog- raphy, W. II, Greer; Long Division, W. II. Cardin; Interest Laws, Col. w. c. Ford; Problems in Interest, G. B. Paddock; Cube Rect, Joe Bradley; Reading, M. II. Baird {; Shall We Award Prlzes, Miss $. V. McClary; Geography, II. T. Mann School Government, L. II. Hughey Longitude and Time, $. T. Patrick.
 The subjects above given were presented in various methods, the best being adopted for use. The subject of Interest. by Col. Ford, de- serves more than mere mention, as he gave all the laws on the subject; it's origin, the various forms of notes :; the date from which interest begins on notes, &c. Our young friend s. T. Patrick acquitted himself well on his subject, and we would advise the school boys to follow his example, as he says he obtained the knowledge of this subject, without an instructor.
 The whole proceedings of the in stitute were both pleasant and in structive, and we believe the teach CTS will5 return to their schools bet ter teachers and convince all that the tune devoted to these Institutes, is not lost time but time well spent for the children.
 One very important subject was presented to the institute by our friend John w. Petray, "A uniform system of text books" He says he is required to purchase different books for every teacher that comes along. Our friend J. M. Heniy was with us during the whole session and joined Fin the discussions, showing that he is school man.
 Before the institute closed there was resolutions adopted recommend ing the people to organize new school districts; erect new school houses, and repair the old ones; to place all teachers who failed to at tend this session of the Institute, without good reason, on tha delin- quent list, and suggestions make to revoke the license ofsuch teachers.
 As we would lack time, you space, and your readers patience, to read all that tronspircd, we will not say any more at present. M. II. BAIRD.

made our country great and prosper ous, and given wealth, power and arrogance to the railway kings, who now not only try to control the com merce of the country, but also the legislation of the States. These companies ought to be required to pay for the labor they employ at fair living rates, and not drive their laborers from work to tramp over the country, to pillage and destroy and resort to violence for bread.

DEMOCRACY IN OHIO.
Nomination of R. M. Bishop, of Hamilton, for Governor, on
 the Sixth Ballot.
Declaration of Principles---Re peal of the Resumption Act Demanded---The South
 COngregated.

CoLuMBus, Ono, July 26. -rhe
 Democratic State Convention re-
 assembled yesterday afternoon.
 The balloting for governor was very slow, and proceeded amidst great confusion. R. NJ. Bishop, of Hamil ton was nominated on the sixth bal lot The committee on resolutions then submitted the following, which
 were unanimously adopted: The Democratic party of Ohio, in State Convention assembled, renews its pledges of devotion to the Union and the Constitution with the amendments, and declares it essen tial to the preservation of free gov ernment faithfully to adhere to the following principles of the Consti- tution: Home rule supremacy of civil over military power, separation of Church and State, equality of all citizens before the law, liberty of individual action unvexed by sumpt- uary laws, acquiesence in the law fully expressed will of the majority, opposition to all subsidies, preserya- tion of public land to the use of actual settlers, maintenance and perfecting of the common school system, pertinent to the issues now pending before the people.
 Resolved, First--That we look upon the inauguration of R. B. Hayes to the high office of Presi- dent of the United States, in spite of a majority of the electoral and popular vote, given by the people to Samuel J. Tilden, as most danger our cncroachment upon the popular rights that has ever been attempted in this or any other free country. A repetition of the fraud will not be tolerated.
 Second That the destruction of the industry of the country, and the pauperlsm of labor, are the inevita- ble fruits of the vicious laws enacted by the republican party.
 Third-That as a means of re- lieving the distressed portions of the community, and removing the great stringency complained of in business circles, we demand the i'm mediate repeal of the resumption act.
 Fourth-That we denounce as an outrage upon the rights of the peo- pie the Republican measure demon etiZino silver. and demand the pas sage of law which shall restore to silver it's monetary power.
 Fifth-That we favor the reten- ton of greenback currency as the best paper money we have ever had, 1 and declare against any further con traction.
 Sixth-We congratulate the coun- try upon the acceptance by the pres ent administration of the constitu- tonal policy of local self-goyern- ment in the states south, so long ad vocated by the Democratic party, and which has brought peace and harmony to that section of the Union.
 Seventh-The registry law framed ! by the last legislature is burden some and expensive, and discrimi- mates unjustly against the poorer classes of voters, and we, therefore, demand it's immediate repeal.
 Eighth-We favor a tariff for rev enue only.

' LABOR VS. CAPITAL.

| LADOh tC. OAI -IlALs The great strike of the railroad op.
 eratives which has for the past fort
 night been the all absorbing topic, involves an issue which must sooner
 or later come up, and for which some
 solution must be furnished. That
 issue is the relation between Labor
 and Capital, and to furnish an equit
 able and fair adjustment between
 the two so as to prohibit all possibil-
 fly of a repetition of the disgraceful and bloody scenes enacted during
 the present strike is consumation to effect which our ablcst statesmen and most liberal minded philanthro- pists ought to chcerfully and zeal ously apply themselves. Public sen timent, too, must and will always have much to do in adjusting this problem; and such being the case it would be well if the thinking masses of the United States could be induc- ed to give some thought to this ques- tion, and investigate it sufficiently to be able to place the responsibility of these frightful clashes of labor against capital, and class against class, where it belongs.
 Each side to these struggles will always have it's alleged canse for the origin and it's attempted justification for the precipitance of strike. Re duction of wages, is the alleged cause of thepresent strike, on the part of the strikers; and the rail roads say economy and reform ,make the reduction necessary, in order to meet the low profits on the capital invested.
 When the whole matter is probed to the bottom we have no doubt the greater merit lies on the side of the laborer, but this will not justify course of redress which can only add crime to misery and power ty. The immediate facts matter not so much, however, as to get back be hind these and sec the errors which led to such results, and to fasten the responsibility where 1t belongs; for he who IS the cause of these re- volts is really responsible for all the evil flowing therefrom. The ques- tior will bear deep thought, and in order to throw all the light on it which we can obtaln, we will repro duce in our next paper an ar- ticle taken from the Nashville Amer ican which we regard as very fair and reasonable view of sthe whole 1 matter.
 There cannot be any doubt of one and that is that the laborers who serve these owners of large az gregated capital will in the end find that billets of wood, stones, and vio- lence are not the nstrumentalities through which their grievances must find final relief and redress. Ballots in the hands of intelligent voters will do the good work if ever it is done, and to displace the power which gives capital the opportunity to oppress and starve labor is the task before the honest striker.
 We commend the article above re- ferred to, to fair and calm perusal | of all who feel an interest in this matter.

The people of Missouri are considerably ex-
cited over the decision OF the Supreme Court
OF the United States In the Cass county bonds
case. Several Missouri counties issued.
bonds TO railroads. A case arising on the va
Iidity Of these bonds, the Supreme Court OF
the United States decided against them as
Illegally and unconstitutionally issued. AS a
consequence these bonds fell to nothing in
value and remained there In the meanwhile
the case Of the Cass county bonds, identical
with the one decided by the Supreme Court,
comes up before that body, when, to the sur
prise and horror Of everybody, the court adj
mits 1t erred In it's previous decision, COM
pletely reverses 1t and throws the burden Of
these bonds on the people Of Cass.
The case has caused distrust and suspicion
of the Supreme Court for many reasons; 1t
plays into the hands Of specializing brokers;
it shows subserviency to the bondholders OF
the East, and 1t places the court In the unen-
viable light of being very fallible and uncer-
tain. The people OF the United States do not
forget that to the members Of this court they
owe the reversal OF the popular verdict On
the presidential election. And now this court,
to whom this great question was submit
ted, confesses itself wrong, and declares In
the Cass county case that what 1t said three
months ago was mistake and an error
The title Of Hayes ID made doubly weak
because he owes it to a court which declares
one thing one moment, and another the next.
who can trust such body?
