Jefferson County Teachers Association.

This organization was hastily formed DUR
ing the last days of the Teachers Institute of
Jefferson county, in the latter part of No
vember, 1878. 1t is strictly in its infancy,
and since this is SO, [ may, with much pro-
priety, state for the benefit of those who are
unacquainted with its object, it is the highest
results and benefits ataina6le to pupils.
teachers and patrons, aouh tie means at its
disposal
It's object alone should entitle it to the
favorable consideration of all. and to the
hearty sanction and CO operation of all the
teachers in the county and State, as we'll as
all others who are interested in the educa-
ton of the youth OF our Commonwealth. OF
the forty,odd teachers in the county, near
half have enrolled themselves. The appa~
rent apathy that this would seem to indicate
is not in truth attributable to the oft-heard
expression that they are teaching for the
money alone"
No teacher who is teaching for money
alone should be employed or tolerated, for
he cannot be an earnest and conscientious
worker. Nevertheless. we predict for it a
long and useful career.
1t proposes to benefit pupils and teachers
in securing the best modes of discipline and
training, and patrons in seeking to redress
the wrong of extravagant prices of text
books, and in many other directions. We
fail to see upon what plea any teacher can
consent to keep s!oof from those earnest
workers and champions of the youth of our
country.
When this body shall have made arrange>
ments to secure books for the pupils taught
by its members at wholesale prices, then it
may be demanded that teachers belong to it..
1t was to have held its first meeting on the
third Saturday in December of 1878, but
the inclemency of the weather prevented, as
was the case on the third Saturday in Jan
uary of this year But it is the purpose Of
the presiding officer to hold a meeting on
the third Saturday in February. He and
his active board of officers intend to make
it success" and am fully authorized in
the statement that nl3 its members will be
expected to meet in CharleStOwn on the third
Saturday in February, at 10 A. NJ.

Republican correspondent of the Wheeling
Register
We think that he is one of the ablest. one of
the most honest and impartial. and by all odds
the nat SC olarIv Governor West Virginia has
ever had. He has been the Governor of the
whole STATE, NOT of any party, or of amy faction
in any party He gave the Republicans repre-
seutalinn on every State board, and has sim
c"rely endeavored TO build up all the public
Institutions.

A varg1n1a Rsmlnlseenee.


1t is related that while Thomas Mann
was Governor of Virginia, he
Was once arrested within few hundred
yards of his home, and carried a prisoner
to his own house. The story is to the fol- |
lowing effect:
The Governor was on a visit to his |
home, and finding that the fencing on his |
plantation was pulled down and burned
by wagoners passing along from the VAL
ley to Richmond, he determined to detect
and punish them. One evening he OBJ
served party go into camp on the road
side, and after dark ne strolled down to a
point where he could conveniently watch
them. He staid out all night, but the
wagOners made no depredations on his
fences. In the early morning, however,
when they were about to kindle the fires
to prepare breakfast, they started out to
gather up what fuel they might find for
that purpose, when they spied man sit
| ting on the fence a short distance ahead.
| Now it appears that short time before,
| GaV. Randolph had issued his proclama-
ton, offering reward for the capture of
an escaped horsethief, and the wagoners,
| who had seen the description of the con-
| vict, thought they discovered a close re-
| semblanee between the man on the fence
and the escaped felon. So thoroughly
satisfied were they that they would re-
ceive the reward for his arrest that they
approached and announced that he was
their prisoner. One of them proposed,
as he cracked his wagon-whip, to give
him thrashing and then let him go, but
his companion protested that it was
proper TO ascertain certainly whether he
was the guilty party before infiieting the
punishment, and proposed to take him to
the residence of Gov. Randolph and get
his advice. Accordingly they took their
prisoner to the house, and knocking al
frontthe door, servant made..his appear
, ance, of whom they inquired:
Sis your master at homer"
The negro opened his eyes in astonish
, ment at the inquiry, and replied, point

The recent so-called Labor Convention
at Yicksburg was Bourbon affair
throughout. The resolutions amounted
to nothing, practically. The colored men
present participated in debates by request,
but declined to vote. The sensile articles
which have recently appeared in the
Vicksburg Herald and the New Orleans
Times are bearing fruit, as will be seen
by the following. resolutions passed at a
meeting of the planters and business men,
held at GreenviIIe, Mississippi, on the 3oth
of April:
Resoleed, That we, the citizens here as
semhled, having no hope of the fulfill
mentof pledges made to the people by the
party in power In this State, or the rings
and eliques that control it, here and now
| absolye ourselves from all further alle-
glance to that party, which has cheated
the people out of its just fruits of the rev.
olution of 1875, and we hereby declare
our determination to appeal through the
ballot-box, from. the licta ton of the few
to the high. court of the many !, for a re-
dress of grievances and we invite the
true Democracy of the county. and State

people, without regard to race, color or

2. We demand that crime shall be sup

| justice shall be impartial bearing alike
upon all, high or low, rich or poor, white
or black.
3. We demand the repeal OF all laws
which discri inmate against the labor o.

STOCK ITEMS.

From the Pittsburg Price Current, May 22nd.
Commission merchants have been tele-
their cattle men to await new
developments before shipping in.
The feeling on cattle as we go to press
is considerably better, and we regard the
outlook for next week as little more faV-
orable.
Foreign shipments of live stock from
New York last week: Cattle-429 head
alive; 4,136 quarters dressed. Sheep-8eO
head alive; $500 earcasses mutton.
As unsatisfactory as our cattle trade is,
it is relatively better than New York. No
one can buy here just now, even with re-
duced freights, and do any good in the
East.
One load OF sOO-pound stockers was on
sale Tuesday, and brought $500. A few
more good ones could have been sold, but
there is nothing like a demand for them
yet.
We adYise shippers of cattle to East
Liberty to stand from under for short
time, until this fight over the retail trade
takes new shape. 1t is impossible to
tell what any day may develop.
The early grass is now drying up so
rapidly that buyers of stock cattle are
afraid TO operate until the grazing pros
peet improves. The dry weather is stand
ing in the way of what would otherwise
be lively trade at this time.
Less cattle were sold by commission
merchants on Monday than on any pre-
ceding Monday since we have been ac-
lquainted with the market. The regular
salesmen had to sit back and suck their
thumbs, and wonder what the next de-
velOpment would be.
The New York market on Monday was
the worst reported since last fall for cat
tie. The railroad freight war is causing
heavy shipments, although the cattle ar
rlying on the seaboard are of the best ay-
erage quality ever known in any season
their overwhelming numbers are crowd
ing the Eastern markets beyond what
they can stand.
Among the many rumors afoat this
week is one to the effect that the Allie
gheny Yards are to be moved to MeKee's
Rocks, at the mouth of CHARTERS creek,
below Birmingham. 1t is well known thai
the city of Allegheny has long been try
ling to secure the removal Of the Yards,
and it looks now. as if they might ult-
timately get rid of them.
The haste with which sheep men still
persist in crowding their stock on the
market indicatesthat they are in daily ex
peetation of the end of the world. While
we are not prepared to announce the date
of that event, we are hopeful of having s
few weeks yet through which the sheer
of the country may be properly distribut
ed and profitably disposed of. Our ship
+ ping friends are forcing low prices OF
themselves in the face of advice and ex
postulation.

Cost OF Copgreaslonal, ,Oonsssts.

There is a provision in the SuhdFy Civil
bill passed by the last Congress limiting
the amount to be paid to each contestant
or contestee for a seat in either house of
Congress to s., 900. In the last Congress
there, were twenty-six parties boeontests,
and to these there was paid by theisame
bill $46, ,616. The cost of these twenty-six
election cases, including the sum named,
which was paid as salary and expenses,
was about $50, 600, or an average of more
than $1,000 for each man. Not half of
these cases were ever determined by the
House, and in those which were consid-
cred by the Committees on Elections, very
much of the evidence taken was ex parte
or irrelevant. In the case of Nuttimg VS..
Reilly, of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania
district, the testimony covered more than
1 200 closely-printed pages, much of
which was ruled out on the ground of ir-
relevancy. The case was never acted up
on, but the Government paid the parties
to the contest 81 900 each. The Bisbee
case, which was taken up and settled just
before the adjournment. cost $1,000. If
the new law had been In operatloIrat the
time the entire cost Of these twenty-six
contests could only have been little more
than $50 900, being a saving Of over $780,
600. s1is =
