From the N. Y. Sun.
NOT FOR ALLEN G. THURMAN
BUT NEW CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT
PROPOSED.

BUT A NEW CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT
PROPOSED.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-ISir :
Your late article in relation to Mr.. Thur
man took my fancy very much as most
of your articles do.
1 was once ready to vote for Mr.. Thur
man for President, but / am not now
He not only violated but surrendered the
Constitution. He debauched the Su-
preme Court from the fear of Grants
cannon, and now quietly sits down un-
der the rule of fraud and infamy. A
man placed as sentinel to guard the
gate of your citadel, who once betrays
you and surrenders the keys, whether
actuated by fraud or fear, can never be
intrusted with the keys again. propose
therefore, for the Presidency man who
is without fear and above reproach, whom
all the earth cannot frighten nor all its
treasures bribe. His name is
JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON.
His noble attributes adorn him as the Or
ders of merit did the great Frederick,
but L beg leave nevertheless to enume-
rate some of them. He is a gentleman
of the olden time of honor as unsullied
as a snowflake a man to whom no one
would dare to propose that he should
barter the patronage of his Off ce, or look
even with forbearance upon corruption
VI any hiuu, pup eopocidiiy oniCiai Cor-
ruption. He is great commander,as all
the world knows, and all the world
knows that to be great commander re-
quires great ability-wisdom, indeed
He is an old-time Jefferson Democrat, q
statesman well informed in the science
of government, and thoroughly posted
upon every constitutional question which
has arisen under our Constitution, and
with clear opinions upon the right side.
ii a nnnnlad tn nnntraliZatinn and in
favor of the State Governments, in favor
of economy and honesty in all govern
ments and among all men. He was op-
posed to the eight to seven plan and law
by which the Constitution was over
thrown and the people cheated out of
the Presidency; and when he was told
that his name had been presented to the
Fraudulent President for a Cabinet ap.
pointment he said promptly: "I am very
sorry for it, because if the Office were ten
dered to me l could not with honor ac-
cept it, as it would identify me with the
Administration" The reply illustrates
the high tone of the man. Last, but by
no means least, he is opposed to military
government and to the least increase OF
the army. Nay, he thinks it should be re-
duced. In his opinion the best defenders
of a free republic are its citizen soldiers
In proof of this, he asks what was the
regular army during the civil war
Nowhere, except when whipped by and
running from volunteers citizen sol
diers, who saved the Union and whipped
the South; volunteers, citizen soldiers
And then he is constitutional Unior
man.
What a blessing to the whole country
it would be to have such a man as oul
President.
Run up his flag, and lead to victory!
Yours sincerely, M MoNoNGHAHELA.

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION.

The Young Peoples Association Of st.
Paul's M. E. Church had a moonlight
excursion, last evening on the steamer
Samuel NJ. Felton,. Between four and
five hundred pursons were on board, and
all enjoyed most delightful ride down
the Delaware bay ,as far as Fort Delaware.
As the boat was rounding the fort stiff
breeze sprang up, which made the water
quite rough and caused the steamer to
rock considerably; but as no sea-sickness
was occasioned thereby the excursionists
rather enjoyed the rocking. The boat re-
turned in good time arriving at the wharf
at 12.15 o'clock.
A private moonlight excursion from
this city also went down the bay last
night, on one Of Warmers propellers.

Syracuse, Hartford, Lowell, Columbus,
Akron, Cleveland, Newark, Patterson,
Camden, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Erie
and New York, all pay higher than we
do. We did not raise the pay in propor-
ton to other wages when prices ruled
higher. Six or seven years ago our
schools were not graded as they are now.
About that time more systematic course
OF study was adopted, and ever since the
pupils have at stated intervals been pro-
noted from grade to grade as their exam
nations would permit.
More work by one half is being done
at present by the teachers than was done
when the present rate of compensation
was fixed, so that in proportion we are
paying as low rates as we did some years
ago 1t would not be economy to so de-
crease the amount we'now pay as to re-
tard the progress of our schools. We must
not adopt measures that would in the least
hinder the progress now being made.
Much has been said about the time that
teachers work, for the amount of salary
received. 1t may not be generally known
that no small part of the teachers work is
done out of the regular school hours;
many of the recitations and examinations
are conducted in writing and the worlz
OF examining, marking, and correcting
these papers is done by the teachers at
their homes. 1t is a great mistake to sup
L
to faithfully perform her duties is during
school hours only. To be successful in
| their calling they must keep up regular
| course of study, otherwise they will soon
expend their capital stock so to speak
and become mechanical in their teach
ings; so we must not conclude that the
work Is done when the school door
closes.
In comparing the teachers salaries
with the salaries of others, we must not
| forget tha many of the teachers pay pri-
vate instructors in order to become more
| efficient.
| This Board has the education of the
| children OF the masses to look after, and
/ as the voluntary servants of the tax
payers of this community we should see
to it that the money placed in our hands
| is wisely and well expended. The recent
examinations attest to the worth of the
work that is done. Some of the parents
| and friends attended these examinations,
| and expressed themselves pleased with
| the progress the children had made. If
more of our citizens would visit the
schools, to which they are cordially well
come, they would please and encourage
both the teachers, and the Board; they
| would thereby become more thoroughly
informed of their workings, and there
would no doubt be less complaints about
paying school tax.
Your committee most earnestly desire
be kept at the lowest possible sum, and
in view of all the following schedule of
| salaries is recommended:

Mr.. Kent wished to know if the princi-
pal of the Girls High School did as much
work as the principal of the Boys Depart
ment; If she did she should be paid as
much.
Mr.. Betts,, thought that the report had
! better be laid over until another meeting
night.
DIR. Grimshaw hoped it would lay over
for another meeting, as the Committee
by looking over the matter might be
| able to do a little mere cutting down, and
also take into consideration the cutting
down of other salaries. We have been
trying for number of years to fix sal
member who had pet teacher who must
| get a little more salary than Others, or
that the same pet teacher would leave and
| the schools would go smash. The gentle
man, (Mr. KENT seems to be a women's
\ rights man, he seems to be fighting on
| the question whether petticots and pan
falcons shall have the same salary; if you
notice the committee have dropped $500
from the pantaloons of Mol, that is pro-
| viding they abolish the Normal
! School. He did not believe in women
| getting as much salary as men.
Mr.. Speakman hoped the report would
be adopted at the meeting, as there was
a pretty full Board.
| The Superintendent, being asked in re.
gard to the Normal School, said thatii
met on last Monday Tuesday, Wednt sday
and Thursday evenings, and that there
| was an average attendance of thirteen,
| Dr. Grimshaw moved TO amend the re-
port of the committee by making the sal
AIRY of Mr.. Wiley, $1,000 instead of $1,000,
and that amount would require him to
perform all duties that the Board desired
without extra compensation.
| After a few remarks by Messrs. Heisler,
| Lally and Baird the amendment was adop-
ted.
| Before adjourning the chair made a
very appropriate speech in regard to the
| action of ohm III. Adamas, Esq. in present
ing two gold medals to the Board every
year. He said it had been going ON for
| three or four years, and during all that
| time not one word of thanks or approba-
| tion had ever come from tho Board. He
| called their attention to the fact and
hoped some action would be taken.

A Partridge Conquers a Rooster.

At st. Foye, near Quebec, beheld a
male spruce partridge engaged in NOR
tai duello with the Spanish knight-errant
of our poultry yard. The combatants
fought in the manner common to the Gal
linact oe-eying each other with out
stretched necks and dropping wings. At
each attempt to strike on the part of the
rooster, the partridge, with the repidity
of a flash, would hop, or rather fly, over
the head of his unlucky opponent, and,
passing, would use as weapons of offense
both wing and claw with astonishing
effect. At each onset this passing was
repeated several times without intermis-
sion, and then the posture of attack
would be resumed. In this manner the
duello was carried on, round after round,
but it soon became evident that, owing
to his activity and strange and superior
mode of attack, the smaller of the two
opponents must eventually become the
victor. Feeling his advantage, the little

Nationality of Recruits.

Prior to the rebellion the United
States army was filed up, in a great
measure, by Irish and German immi-
grants, who, after brief sojourn in our
crowded cities, drifted to the recruiting
rendezvous and were easily persuaded
to enlist, the recruiting sergeant taking
care that the rosy side of army life
was presented to hesitating applicant.
Since the war, however, the proportion
of native-born citizens in our army has
very much increased. The latest official
record of enlistment shows that out of
1873, $50 men who have joined the SER
vice since 1866 more than half were
Americans. This record, which bears
interesting evidence of the mixed COM
plexion of our national forces, is as fol-
lows:
