There Is at least one Democrat In
Congress who places country above
party. When the solid South came
forward last week and demanded a
recognition OF Southern claims, Mr.
Bragg, OF Wisconsin. told them that
n the South was solidly Democratic
only to get the assistance Of North
srn Democrats in plundering the ma
fi0nal treasury, the sooner the party
was divided the better for the coun-
try. The country will stand by such
men as Bragg. It is a solid united
country that we now want, and we do
not want TO pay men for what they
did in trying to destroy it. Such a
precedent once established, this gov
erDment could not exist five years.
Men who love this country and this
government, whether residing In the
North or in the South. will never ad-
vocate the paying Of men for trying

prisoner insane. so state in their YER
dict; and In case Of acquittal, the
court shall order the prisoner to be

fary or constitutional, the cop1ne-
ment shall be for life. This bill
should become law Immediately.

Commissioner Bentley has prepared a
circular, which he will publish in the
newspapers and send to pensioners,
in which he calls attention to the
clause in the bill which prohibits the
payment OF any fee to claim agents
or attorneys for the collection OF ar
rears, and will notify pensioners that
they must send their applications d.
rectIy to the Pension Office by mail,
instead OF through agents. All pay
ments under the bill will be made by
checks payable TO the pensioners
order, and the strictest watch will be
kept to prevent claim sharks from
obtaining any OF the money. There
is one point in the pension arrears
bill which 1t is thought will probably
be referred by the Interior Depart
ment for construction from the De-
partment OF Justice. The new law
says arrlarages Of pensions are to be
paid at the rate Tor wnfch the soidler
was originally pensioned. As Con-
gress has changed the rate several
times. and the latest applicants origi-
nally received the largest pensions,
the man who gets pensioned now
gets O heavy sum ia arrearages.

got So per month, now he gets $l2
The question then in case OF totally
disabled new pensioner is whether he

appropriation to carry out the law,
and that it be made Immediately

The Congressional committee ap-
pointed to consider the advisabilty OF
transferring the Indian Bureau from
the Interior Department to the War
Department, came to a dead lock Sat-
urday. Four members OF the COM
mittee-Senators McCreary and Rep
resentatives Scales, Hooker and
Boone, favored the transfer. while the
other four members, Senators Saun
ders; Oglesbee, Voorhees,, and Repre-
sentative Stewart opposed it. The
report OF the four members favoring
the transfer. will be presented to the
House the first opportunity. 1t will
set forth that the history OF our treat
ment OF the Indians has been one OF
violated pledges. broken promises
and lack of efficient and response
BILE management. That this system
has not been confined to the past few
years, but has existed since the foun-
dation OF the government; that not
withstanding immense sums OF money
have been yearly expended with a
view to civilize these people, that
failure is written on every page, and
that we should try some method OF
dealing with this question different
from that now in vogue; and con-
clude with the declaration that they
believe that the interest OF the gov
eminent will be best promoted by

DiscipIiue.

Tho following article on "Disci-
pine" was read before the Union
township teachers institute, recently,
by Miss. Mollie Duddleson. a teacher
Of that township. BY request we
cheerfully give place to it.-ED.l
The subject OF discipline Is one
among the most important subjects
that can present itself to the teacher.
Order is Gods first law, and il
there is any place on the face Of the
wide earth where order Is the first,
last and highest law, that place Is the
schoolroom.
A teacher may possess every nee
essary qualification, and work earn
estly and faithfully, and yet fail OF
success IL he has not the requisite
skill aud ability to govern his pupils.
IL children succeed in having their
own way in their youth, they will
claim the same privilege when they
enter society. 1t is fact that true
spirit OF obedience planted in the
heart OF the young will not only pro-
mote their happiness, bnt will pre-
pare them for higher spheres OF USE
fulness when they will have reached
manhood's cares and responsibilities.
Such being the case, then, how i'm
portant is the subject under consid-
GRAFTON. The instructor must him.
self feel the::truth and force OF what
has been said on this subject. First,
it Is important that we should COM
prehend the nature OF any work be-
fore we can wisely undertake its per-
Torrance. The teacher has a large
family to govern, composed OF many
smaller families, all differing In dis
position. These he must govern and
instruct, having regard to the great
est good OF all concerned. The idle
he must urge forward; the bashful
and backward he must encourage by
kindness, the more foreward he may
need to correct. To do all this would
be disciplinary work, and he who does
1t we'll will have a school OF which be
may be proud.
The teacher should have but few
rules. Instead OF making long list
OF rules, with certain penalties an
nexed, l would give them bat one
rule. Do right. Pupils will soon
learn as to what may con stitute
wrong. The teacher must manifest a
spirit OF determination and self-con-
troll. In maintaining order 1t Is not
necessary that he be rough and So
we're. He need not be armed with
weapons and blunderbusses; he
should make no harsh threats, but
he should be firm In purpose and
uniform in action, the same yester-
day, to-day and forever.
Again he must not be strict in dis
cipline to-day and lax tomorrow,
nor punish an offense at one time
which he disregards at another. II
he does, his pupils will soon lose
confidence In his judgment.
There are certain tones OF the
voice which by their mild firmness
and determination have a powerful
control; and / may also add that
there are certain looks which have
stronger effect than the most Sc
we're language.
The teacher should not be too noisy.
"As the teacher is so will be his pu-

The new pension bill has been
signed by the President and Is now a
law. II passed the House at the last
session by an emphatic majority, lar
ger, perhaps, than II no election had
been pending, each party being anx-
jous to win the votes OF the soldiers,
and the Senate passed 1t some days
ago almost without discussion, only
four votes being recorded against II /;
considering the vote the Pres dent,
no doubt, felt 1t his duty to sign it
whether very strongly In favor of the
bill or not. The law makes all exist
ing pensions date back to the time OF
the discharge or death Of the person
on whose account the pension was
granted, II also repeats the statute OF
limitations and any person entitled TO
pension may now make application
and draw q pension from the date OF
his discharge. It will probably take
. hundred millions Of dollars to carry
cut the provisions OF the bill. 1t is
claimed by the advocates Of the bill
that Congress never had any right to
pass statute OF limitations ruling
out persons entitled to a pension.
But now that the bill Is law the next
thing to do will be to get the money
to pay the claims that will be present
ed and allowed. A Washington dis
patch says: No money will be paid
out, however. on these claims until a
specific appropriation Is made. This
Congress will make no appropriation,
and the claims will simply remain off

The investigation OF the Cipher dis
patches was begun this week.
All but three of the Cheyennes
were either killed or wounded in the
recent engagement near Camp Rob-
inson.
The German and Austrian dele
gates in session at Vienna have adop
ted a series OF precautionary meas
ures to be recommended to the Inter
national sanitary commission against
the Russian plague.
The recent massacre OF Cheyenne
Indians at, or in the vicinity II Fort
Robinson. is being used in Washing
ton with much force as an argument
against turning the Indian bureau
over to the War Department.
It is generally conceded in Wash
ington since the President has signed
the arrearage pension bill, that the
tax on tobacco cannot be reduced, as
1t will take all the revenue that can
be raised to pay the pensioners.
General Mahlon D. Manson assum.
ed the duties OF Auditor OF state last
Monday; the retiring Auditor, Hon. T..
Henderson, has we believe performed
the duties OF the Office in such a man
ner as to give general satisfaction.
The Russian ana German medical
journals state that Eastern Europe Is
in state OF great alarm at the rapid
progress OF the plague toward the
north and East OF Russia from the
Caspian Sea. along the course of the
Volga.
Senator Ben Hill made a speech.
Monday. against Southern war claims.
He asserted that no true Southerner
would prefer claim against the
Government. Those men who made
such claims were not loyal Southern
ers, and therefore Southern members
should oppose their claims.
The Comptroller OF the Currency
has called for the condition OF national
banks at the close OF business Janu-
airy 1, 1879. The report is called for
that date for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning as near as possible the con
dition OF the banks on the day OF the
resumption OF specie payments.
The President has signed the bill
granting arrears Of pensions. Secre-
tary Sherman estimates that the pen
sion bill will take sl5O,00O,000. The
President believes it will take up
ward OF $5O,00O,000. The Pension
Office estimates upward OF $50 600, 900
Gen. Rice, father OF the bill in Con-
gress, estimates between s15.000.00C
and s2O.OO0.OO0.
Advices firm Lansing, Mich, state
that it Is rumored there, and believed
By prominent members OF the Legis.
