Smalls, of South Carolina, the mem
Der of Congress who has been tried
and convicted of forgery, and only re-
leased on bail pending the decision OF
u motion for new trial, is out for re-
election. He says he means to serve
out his present term unless the twenty
thousand Republicans who gave it to
him shall unite in o petition for his
resignation. They are not likely to do
anything of the sort. The same class
of people reelected Whittemore after
he was expelled for peddling cadets
ships, and sent the bigamist, Bowen,
TO Washington.

any money to carry on the Republi-

valuable party service by consenting

Less than twenty years ago, Steph-
en- A. Douglass was one of the con-
spicuous figures in American public
life and the idol or vast constituent
cy in every Northern State. On the
18th of July monument to his mem
DRY, erected at Chicago, was unvailed
and less than a thousand persons
honored the occasion by their pres
cnce. The years in passing cover
our choicest idols with eclipse, and it
is only principles and moral worth
that survive the tests of time, build
ing themselves into the politics OF
states and the civilization of the
world. What pity that the politi-
clans of the country cannot persuade
themselves into conforming their
lives to this fact.

All the Conkling organs in New
York are now demanding that Re
publican State Convention be held,
because ''there is something more i'm
portant to do than to nominate can
didate for the Court of Appeals
bench" A short time ago they all
agreed that the State committee could
do all the work that would be requir-
ed of convention, but since the
changes in the New York Custom
House it seems to have become neces-
sary to show somebody or another
who is running the Republican party
of the great State. A State Conven-
ton will be held for the important
purpose of allowing Mr.. Conkling an
opportunity to show that he is boss.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON d. CT
July Goth, 1875

July 18th, 1879
Mr.. Potter's Committee opened at
Atlantic City last week, and the first
witness was called by the Republicans.
1t seems that others besides the 'vis-
iting statemen'' will be called to testi-
fy there, and therefore that the result
may be something besides a white
washing of the real authors and pro
motors of the Louisiana and Florida
rascalites. The Louisiana sub-Com-
mittee makes slow progress, but is
daily getting valuable evidence.
Senator Burnside and his committee
to form a plan for rc-organizing the
Army are in secret session at the
Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs.
The object of secret session is, it is
said, to prevent pressure being brought
upon them to change their action as
they progress in their work. / don't
believe a Committee which is too tim
id to meet criticism while performing
its duties will have courage to recon-
mend Radical change in anything.
Burnside never would have been
Chairman of that Committee if Blaine,
who prepared the whole job, had not
determined that the Army should re-
main substantially as it is larger than
it should be and with one officer to
five or six men. / was in the Senate
on the day when the adroit Maine pol
itician put through the amendment

now cunningly he captured the Rhode
Island Senator, who up to that day,
had favored a different plan. Burn

is of meat, and Blaine drew his amend
ment in such way that no one but
Burnside could be chairman of the

In the language of the Cincinnati

In the language of the Cincinnati
Enquirer we say: "Thcrc is no need
of Greenback movement outside of
the Democratic organization. All re-
forms, particularly currency reform,
can be found inside Of the Democrat
ic party" Why, then, all this fuss
about third party? The most en-
thusiastlc greenbacker can find pan
acea for all his country's woes in the
policy to be adopted by the Democ-
racy Immediately upon their accession
to power.

The reason the Globe Democrat of
St. Louis is in favor Of Grants nomi-
nation is now plain. The heavy
whisky dealers are rapidly going into
liquidation, and Grants election would
save them. The editor Of the the
Globe made a good deal of money out
of whisky, though lie went to the peni-
tertiary for it.

Inc wayne AQUOcuCe OF last week
contains an earnest protest against
the parsimonious policy pursued in
many sections of this State, with re-
ference to the employment of teach
ers in the public schools. In wayne
county, the AdUocate is informed, an
effort is being made 10 reduce the sal
aries of teachers holding fast ella IS
certificates, to twenty-six dollars a
month, (which if true, can hardly be
termed anything short ofan outrage"
What this movement means it is diff
fcult to determine. If it is a conceal
ed effort of those who oppose the
common school system, to cripple and
break down the plan devised by the
Legislature to educate the children
of the State, the means are admirably
adapted to the end, for the pittance
proposed is equivalent to saying that
the people are unwilling to support
the methods devised FOR their benefit.
If economy IS the only motive which
actuates those who advocate this re-
duction, it is case of mistaken par
simony, instead ofjudiclous retrench-
ment, for such reduction would
drive every valuable teacher to seek
employment elsewhere, leaving only
those who are dear at any pvice, be-
hind.
The whole subject of the remuner-
alton of States teachers need over
hauling, and we should be glad to see
it considered by the State press.
There is constant complaint that the
teachers educated in our Normal
schools. at State expense, emigrate to
other fields of employment. and that
frequently this Commonwealth loses
entirely the value of their services
and the amount Gifts outlay. Whose
faults il? Naturally the residents OF
this State who gre duate rs teachers
from our State institution would all
ther things being equal, prefer TO re-
main and pursue their chosen avoca.
ton in West Virginia, with whose plan
of instruction they are famil ar, and
where their associations and interests
properly belong: II they leave us, it
is TO be presumed they go because
they don't find here that appreciation
of their value and labor which they
find In other States.
1t ought to be set down as an un-
c0ntrovertible fact that good teach
er is worth more to any community,
than the follower OF any other occu-
patton within it. They deal with a
portion of it that is impressible and
confirms readily to kindly and
sympathetic nature, where it is back
ed up by personal integrity, energy,
intelligence, and experience. Where
a neighborhood has teachers of~this
kind, it cannot pay too much for their
services, andinstead of dscouraging
the hest class of instructors from en-
tering upon, Or remaining in the pro-
fession of teaching. the people Of this
State ought at least TO offer the same
inducement as others to these who
are disposed to enter upon il, and see
that those who are successful, are not
tempted away from US by better offers
from abroad. -Standdrd

A !" Boston Culture " Story.

In view of the filings which the New York
aud Western papers are constantly making
at Boston's {" culture" it seems little too
bad to furnish them with ammunition; but
the temptation to tell good story, espec-
ially a true one, is not to be resisted.
Many will remember that for years there
existed in Boston certain literary set
which had all the pcculiarities of mu-
tual admiration society, and very close
corporation as well. They resolved over
and over again, if not in in form, certain
ly in fact, that none but the elect were
entitled to literary honors in Boston, and
that they were the elect and they had
way of quoting one another's good things,
and of patting one another on the back,
that was delightful to behold. But some
times they forgot to use the quotation
marks. When Tennyson's "In Memori-
ann appeared, certain poet was stand
ing in the Old Corner Bookstore, turning
over the leaves of the freshly printed vol

of rare taste and learning in poetry, say

Two Snake Stories.

which he holds above the surface. and
which yibrates little from side to side with
the exertions of the muscular body. AS he
comes nearer slight swell undulates on
each side marking his progress. Snakes
never seem to venture SO far from shore ex

bends OF the body seeming to act like

In the scuffle Norton and the bear both

SCIENTIFIC RELIANCE ON SoAP.-Dr.

It is worth while for people to learn that
$4,000 typhus germs for people will thrive
in the circumference of a pin head, or a
visible globule. 1t is worth while for them
to note that these germs may

thistle seeds, everywhere, and,
like demoniacal possessions. may jump
