PAYING Our GREESBAcKs.-The Finton
Iowa) Eagle says: General j. i. Weaver,
Greenback candidate for Congress, and
would-be Democratic candidate for the same
office, in recent speech used this language ::
sJust stop the faxes for couple OF years
and put out greenbackS for a couple OF years
in place Of them. and pay the expenses OF
running the Government We don't see
why Mr.. Weaver should stop with paying
out greenbacks for Government expenses.
Why not donate to each State enough green
backs to pay its expenses and the interest
on its debt; or, better still, pay off the State
debts and save the interest! Come to think
OF if, we can sec no objection to stopping
the taxes and paying national and State
expenses five years as well as two years
why not try 1t fifty years? Then there are
few county and city debts that might as
wei be wiped out. There are q few
churches, too. that have been grooming for
wears under debt. How Providence would
smile to see those debts paid by robbery.
We understand also there are few farms
in the country under mortgage. Wouldn't
it make good many honest hearts leap for
10Y to have those mortgages lifted? We
can see no objection to paying all private
debts in this manner. And while the bless
ed old Uncle Sam is in the millennium bust
ness, he might leave each OF us million or
two OF grcenbacks for pin-money. Wouldn't
it be glorious? We, like Viewers green
backism. 1t enables one to live in heaven
OF perpetual delusen; it's the next thing
to being in an insane asylum." ...: 8.

! BucKfYuHAa COUNTY, July 30, 1873. u
A teachers instftuse was held Tor this
county at the old Buckingham Female In-
stitrte, commencing on Thursday the 25th
aud closing Friday afternoon. The School
Board was we'll represented By its officers.
Captain j.. r. Philips president OF tie
Board. presided, and Major Js G. Harris.
county superintendent, directed the order
OF the exercises and introduced each sub
iect for consideration with appropriate re-
marks.
On the first day essays were read by Miss
e. p. Agee and Mrs. Marietta Scrlggs on
teaching. which were well prepared and
highly approved by several old educators
who were present. In the afternoon two
excellent essays were read on the same
subject BY Edward Lomax and his VIE,
colored teachers, which showed that they
were hearty In their work and well quaiined
for teaching. There were q number OF
teachers present, and others who were ex-
perienced teachers in former times. among
them DIR. J. @. Blackwell, formerly presl-
dent of Buckingham Female Collegiate In
stitute, and Major g. B. Hanes. for many
years principal Of Humanity. Hall Academy,
in this county, who participated freely with
the teachers in discussion Of the subjects
presented in the essays, which made up the
first days proceedings. and were all well
calculated to encourage and edify the teach
ers present. ~. ~, !.
There was large attendance on Friday
both OF teachers and citizens generally.
The subjects for discussion were announced
by the Superintendent. The best mode OF
teaching spelling and reading was discuss
ed by teachers, and participated in by Rev.
D. Blackwell, Rev. j. w. Howard, and w.
C. Hall. The best mode OF teaching geo.
sraphy was then discussed; which drifted
into discussion OF the merits OF books on
the subject, but was very ingeniously man
aged by Major Hanes. so as to throw much
light on the mode Of teaching.
After an intermission Of an hour to par
take OF the abundant refreshments pro-
yided, the afternoon session was opened by
the reading of an essay by Mr.. Z. K. Bump
ass on the g Best Mode Of Preserving Or
der in Schools" and also one on the "Best
Means OF Imparting Instruction Generally,
and the Objects OF Education"
The Institute was then addressed by kew.
G.. Perkins, and closed with lecture on
| Chemistry by DR.. Blackwell. In closing
the exercises the superintendent expressed
his satisfaction with this his first attempt to
hold q meeting of this sort, and expressed
determination to do all in his power to
make the public schools in this county what
they should be and all that they may be
made, for the good of all the people. ill.,
1t was altogether a pleasant and profit
able meeting to all present, and the interest
and pleasure manifested were encouraging
10 those engaged in the work OF teaching.
