Nov. Oath, commencing at 10 o'clock
a. m. The exercises were opened
by Mi. S. More Surface, who spoke
at length on .The Want of County
Schools" His vast experience in
teaching enabled him to present
many thoughts that were both in
~teresting and instructive. Mr.. Sur
face put forth his ideas and expressed
his opinions in a very forcible and
entertaining manner, convincing
those who heard him that he is
deeply in earnest in what he says.
Supt. j. C. Murray, of the Lebanon
School followed, discussing some OF
"The Professional Duties of Teach
ers." His lecture was highly inter
esting throughout making a deep
impression upon the minds of hear
ers. The next thing upon the pro-
gramme was Arithmetic, which was
discussed by Thomas A. Pollok,
sfter which Queries were disposed of,
completing the exercises of the fore
noon. The afternoon session was
opened by Supt. Aston Ellis, OF
Hamilton, o. His lecture was indeed
a woarthy effort and well merited
the frequent applause with which he
was greeted. "History in the Public
Schools was next discussed by w.
F. Schreel and Abbott Motto, follow
ed by L. P. Shideler and S. L. King.
Although the attendance in the fore
noon owing to the inclemency of the
weather, was somewhat slim, yet in
the afternoon the room was filed to
its utmost capacity and a manifesto
tion of general interest was evinced
throughout.

Gen. Harvey, the greatest Indian
fighter the army has produced of
late years, bore testimony that she
had never known an Indian tribe to
break its word to our Government,
or the Government keep its faith
with an Indian tribe" There is a
volumn Of truth in those words,
and bordering them, who can won
der that the Indians occasionally get
tired of such a one-sided business, or
that Sitting Bull should coolly (but
truthfully) call our ambassadors
liars

There will be no "walk over fol
any candidate in 1880, and the re.
suit Of the late election indicates that
the issue of the next Presidential
contest will greatly depend upon the
record to be made by the Democrat

Representatives. They were elected
to investigate corruption, to promote
the abatement of abuses, and to cur,
tail the national expenditures, and
the people will hold them response

If Sherman would use an army of
$4,000 men to make Hayes President
in the face Of the fact that he was
not elected, might there not be dan
ger that he might use an army. of
l00,0 to make himself President?
A large army with Sherman at its
head might be a great thing for
Sherman, but a large army without
Sherman as its head wouldn't
amount to much-for Sherman.

REPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION
ACT.

Gen. EwING has been criticised by
some OF our democratic cotemporari-
es, and ridiculed by the plunderists
for his apparent hardness in the
passage of his bill to repeal the Re-
sumption Act, or tie obnoxious fea-
lures of the same. He has not only
secured the passage of the act in the
House, but has done what was most
needed, secured ageneral discussion
of that accursed measure. The peo-
pie in this age of daily papers
and telegraphs learn fast, and Gen.
EwING's eloquent advocacy of the
faith that is in him, has electrified
the masses and been stamped as
one of the most eloquent advo-
Gates of the peoples cause in Con-
gress. The blows he dealt to the
shysters ofLombard and Wall Street
echoed across a continent, and while
the people of the West and South re-
ijoice, the Bond holders of the East
and Europe chatter in impotent rage.
The people owe a debt of gratitude
to Gen. EWING for his bold advocacy
of their cause, and we would like to
have the Legislature of Ohio say to
him, swell done good and faithful
servant, come up higher"
We know that Gen. EWING is a
power anywhere, and no new mem

has won such a place in the hearts
of the masses as Gen. EwING has
since he entered the House OF Repre-
sentatives. We hail him, not merely
as the representative Of the District
he was sent from to Congress, but as
one who represents the toiling, OPP
pressed millions-as a man WHOSE
sympathies are as broad as his gent
us. We hope and trust the Senate
will feel the pulsations of the great
popular sentiment, which must in
the end vindicate itself, and that
even in that conservative body, there
will be some of our opponents, as
there were in the House, who will
stand with the people in this great
warfare against greed.
