Correspondence Of The True Northerner.
The best auspices OF Republican success that
l can give you are that we are working For it,
and we seem to realize that success is to be at
tanned only by work. Men without hope do not
spend time and money as Republicans, both
committees and individuals, are doing now, and
the best augury for the realization OF hope is
the energy put forth for its achievement. Dur
ing the week l have conversed with number
government agents take them to all parts OF the
North and West. find them all hopeful OF the
election Of Garfield, and with reason tor the
hope that is IN them, but they, one aud all,
agree that the race is to be very close, and that
nothing but the most careful management IN
bringing every Republican into line will insure
victory.
1t cannot be denied that the Democrats are
very confident, but confidence proves nothing.
and frequently avalls defeat, as We have seen
again and again in our political history. The
French were very confident when they started
on 20 Berlin in the late war, and the Democrats
we're equally confident when they inaugurated
the war OF the rebellion. Meetings, speeches,
professions, and elevating poles surmounted by
roosters do not count like the quiet canvass
that appeals to individual voters in the quiet
OF their homes, with the convincing arguments
and warnings which political history and politi-
cal outlook furnishes every patriot.
James A. Garfield represents the best ideas
of the Republican party and of the republic
In the prime of life and manhoods vigor, cru
dite, well read in the history OF other countries,
and profoundly acquainted, even to minutia,
with all the details of our governmental system
he will bring to the administration OF national
affairs such intelligent insight as has not before
been known in the executive Office. Then. there
is no one who has a more extensive and init
mate acquaintance with public men, or who Will
be more competent to select the right men for
the place IN ali the numerous appointments
under executive control. While his Republi-
canism has never been questioned bis candor
and liberality have compelled the esteem Of his
political opponents, and the most prominent
Democrats who have been associated with him
in Congress, have given expression to their adj
mration OF the noble attributes of his mind and
heart.

II the Democracy at any time deceived itself
with the idea that By its loud shouts for Han
cock il could stampede the Republican forces
it will now have to put them aside and settle
down 10 the realization OF the fact, distasteful
as it may be. that the Republicans are not to be
stampeded that the party is more united than
for years and that at no time in its history
have it's great leaders been so happily pleased
as with the nomination OF Garfield and Arthur.
This state OF feeling now existing IN the Re
publican party, though nothing to be surprised
at, was not seen in the campaign OF 1876, and is
now stranger to the Democratic camp.
But one cause can be assigned for this unu
sual amount OF confidence and enthusiasm
among the Republicans everywhere. 1t is the
awakening Of the people TO tie fact that Re-
publican rule has given to this land the great
est prosperity ever known. Business men care
nothing for sectional politics; nothing for per-
sonal differences: they know that change for
changes sake only is not safe in business, and
they know the rule applies with equal force to
politics. Their interests are protected as are
those OF their customers, and they want no
change simply because the Democratic party
has pat on the mask of loyalty and asks for
power; for a grip upon the national throat
asks leave OF the nation to introduce the new
Mississippi plan OF counting out into New
York, Indiana and Connecticut leave to exper-
iment with the currency and the tariff and TO
abolish the National banks asks the people to
choose adversely when prosperity is with them
No wonder the Hancock enthusiasm dwindles
away; no wonder the notes OF Republican prep
aration are heard on every hand. The Repub-
lican party appeals to the patriotism Of every
man /; to hlslove OF liberty, justice and law. The
Republican party has identified itself with the
national life in manner at once grateful to ouI
industries, and to the preservation OF the liber-
ties and form OF government We all love SO
well. These considerations we have no doubt
will force themselves upon the mind OF every
intelligent voter, and careful study Of the
subject will result in more votes for Garfield
aud Arthur.

According to Virginia newspaper, the
Great Dismal Swamp is by no means q disma
place, but rather charming and healthfu re.
treat. 1t is not low bog sunk into the
ground, but, on the contrary, is by actual sur
vey fifteen or twenty feet above the leve
ground. 1t is an immense reservoir that, IN its
vast spongelke bulk, gathers the waters that
fall and pours them into five different rivers
The swamp is entirely OF green timber. Trees
which fall, instead of rottlng, turn into peat
There is nothing to create miasma; all is fresh
and sweet, The air is pure, aud the water
tinctured with juniper, is potent medicinal
drink.

The large claim OF craftsmanship made by the
Democratic party for Hancock, is answered by
the Lansing Republican in the following man
ner, and will pay for careful perusal
democratic orators howl themselves hoarse
over Gen. Hancock's order No. 40, on which his
has been controversy over the authorship of
this very much talked-of order, and its true pa
rentage has been laid at the door OF jeremiah
S. Black. Hancock, however, may have written
the order, and il so, is entitled TO all the merit
there is in it as an epistolary production 4; but
what the public are deeply interested IN is the
effect order No. 40 had on the reconstruction OF
the rebel States OF Louisiana and Texas. He
took command of the 9Th military district in
1867, and issued his famous order. About year
after, tue constitutional convention OF Texas
port upon the condition OF affairs IN that State.
That committee made an exhaustive report on
causes and conditions, and among many things
stated the following: " II is by no means diff
ficut to locate the responsibility OF the increase
of crime. Before Gen. Hancock assumed COM
mand Of the 9Th military district, there existed,
to certain degree, somewhat OF a regard and
respect for human life in Texas. After the is
suing and publication OF general order No. 40,
from the headquarters OF the 5th military dis
trict, dated Nov. Goth. 1867, decidedly different
and troublesome spirit manifested itself all over
the State. During Gov. Pease's administration,
protected and strengthened by Gems. Sheridan
and Mower, before Hancock took command, the
murders committed in Texas averaged less than
IS per month, but during the first month of
OF Hancock's administration December 1860
80 murders were reported by the freedmen's
bureau" The committee further say: /" Since
the inauguration of the policy of Gen. Hancock,
supported by President Johnson, the murders
committed in Texas have reached the average
OF 80 per month, and during the last five months
they reached the average9number OF CO. And 1t
is the commander of the 9Th military district
who is responsible 10 the people for at least
two-tbrds OF the $50 murders which have been
committed in Texas since Dec. l, 1867 This
CON mttee consisted OF seven members, every
one of whom had lived in Texas from 10 to 81
years, and they knew what they were talking
about. Their report was written II years ago,
and was not made for political purposes. 1t
dealt with naked truths, and charged Hancock
directly with being responsible for the murder
of hundreds of loyal citizsns of Texas. This
voice from the past comes ike protest fro m
the hundreds of dead victims of order No. 40
against the elevation of Its author to the high
est Office in the government whose laws he re-
fused to execute and whose Union citizens he
refused to protect"

Enthusiastic and betting Democrats do not
seem to be very sue essful In bluffng. Their
offers TO bet on the coming election do not have
to 90 begging for takers. Betting is often call
ed "a fools argument" and no doubt with
truth. put it ia often best to answer fool ac-
cordlng to bis folly, and we presume it is upon
that principle that the prompt takers OF Demo-
cratic bets so readily call them and even "go
better" The Elmlra Gazette announced that
| Democrat had deposited in it's Office the sum
OF 81 800 to be matched against like sum on
the part OF Republican, the bets TO be dis
tributed as follows:
800 that Hancock carries Pennsylvania.
300 that Hancock carries Connecticut.
500 that Hancock carries New Jersey.
500 that Hancock carries Indiana.
800 that Hancock carries New York.
800 that he wins all the above bets.
And 81, 900 that Hancock will be 6cted.
All the offers to be accepted or none.
The Albany Journal looked over these prop
ositions and promptly and formally accepted
every one Of them. The Elmira Advertiser
wants to know if the Gazette's Democrat has
any more money to lose, and proposes the fol-
lowing additional bets, which we publish in the
hope that some OF our sanguine Democratic
friends may feel disposed to invest. Go nmu-
nicatons received at this Office in acceptance of
these bets will be forwarded promptly to the
Advertiser Office:
800 that Hancock will run full as well as
Mcclellan ran.
800 that Hancock's canvass will be fully as
victorious as Greeleys canvass.
800 that Hancock will be elected fully as
much as Seymour was elected.
500 that Hancock will preside in the White
House fully as long as Tilden presided there.
S100 that Hancock knows fully as much about
the duties that would devolve upon him in case
he succeeded President Hays, as a Eastwood
Indian in front of cigar store knows about the
qualification OF the predicate.
800 that all Hancock knows about states
manshlp IN any Of ITS phases could be packed
into grain of mustard seed and still leave the
seed empty.
500 that Hancock's chief reliance in tn lis
canvass-the solid south and Tammany Hall
are not as powerful hackers as the patriotic
masses CT the American PEOPLE who are arrayed
on the side OF Garfield
500 that Hancock wishes that Jerry Black
was at home and that Sam Tilden was at Hall
lax, or jericho hey ond Jordan.
800 that Hancock wishes he was not handl
capped in the race be is now running by having
alb out his neck the milestone of Democracy.
800 that Hancock wishes he had never en-
dorsed the Democratic platform of 1868. one
plank of which demanded the swindLng OF the
creditors of the United States, and another de-
clared the reconstruction measures framed to
guard and preserve tine fruits OF the war, "a
usurpaton, unconstitutional, revolutionary and
vold.'
800 that Harcock is enthusiastically sup
ported by Henry Gully, Of Mississippi, the muir
derer OF Dr. Chisholm, and all gentlemen who
approve OF Gully's mode OF dealing with politi-
cal opponents.
All the offers to he taken or none.

SCHOOL LAW.
From the Lansing Republican.


/. A district meeting, annual or special, can :
not legally vote upon the wages to be paid a
teacher, aud if such vote be taken, 1t must be
considered merely as advisory, and not bind
ing upon the board. 1t is the exclusive right
and duty OF the board to estimate the amour,
OF taxes necessary to be raised for the support
Of the school, 10 report the same to the super
visor for assessment, to hire teachers, and to
fix their compensation.
2. The only action an annual meeting may
take which can affect the hiring of teachers il
to decide upon tie sex of teachers to be em
ployed, and the length OF time school shall be
maintained above the minimum prescribed by
law.
s. 1t is legal for district board to make Q
contract with teacher at time previous to
the annual meeting and such contract Will be
valid and binding upon the district, provided
the annual meeting does not vote for the en-
ployment of teacher OF different sex from the
one contracted with, or that the school be
maintained a shorter period (not less, however
than the minimum prescribed by law than is
named IN the contract. In case such action is
taken by the annual meeting, the contract will
be rendered void.

They train in the other crowd was the
truthful answer OF A. A. Yeakel, OF Greenvllle
Pa, private in Hancocks corps, when appeal
ed to to help organize veteran Hancock SOL
diers' club. Mr.. Ieakel had already joined the
Garfield and Arthur club, and all the old SOL
diers of the place, with one or two exceptions
belonged to it. AS further reason why Mr.. Y
could not support Hancock, he says: There
are several here who are loud-mouthed Han
cock men (not soldiers), some Of whom during
the war called Hancock's corps Lincoln's hire
lings,' and who, when the draft was about TO be
made, skipped for Canada. And there are still
others who said OF me when in the Anderson
vile prison pen that 1 ought to starve to
death Can 1 so far forget myself as to vote
for the party which tried for four long years to
dissolve our glorious Union? No Hancock

FRANCE.
t. 94.4
From the Times

9i1h.'3" April IA.
"A diplomatic circular, according to the
Temps, is about to be issued by M. de
Frey oinet, explaining in detail the foreign
policy he has pursued since bis accession
to office.
Never was public opinion in France
more puzzled than in present circumstan-
ces, and scarcely two Frenchmen can meet
Just now without asking each other,
.,Well, what is going to come out OF the
March DEGREES 2" AS I am asked that
question on all hands, I will endeavour
not to predict what is going to happen,
which would be, as it always is, ridiculous,
but to state the probable hypothesis that
suggest themselves when rejecting on the
present struggle. In the first place. those
who deal with the question from the ad-
verse point of view complicate 1t by re-
elimination and by attacking, not the pos
sibIe consequences of the DEGREES, but
their tissne. tor which they blame tho Go
vernment most bitterly, For my W part,
l thoroughly share the indignation OF those
who assert that it ia q wicked act 10 stir
up religious a%ntagonism in a country so
sadly divided as France already is, and
that history will severely take to task
those who have been the promoters and
ins.igators of the Conflict which has broken
out and is spreading over France. But
rccriminatious, however, justified, are not
politics. The DEGREES are issued, not
merely by this OF that Minister, nor by the
Prime Minister, nor by the Cabinet, ror
even by the President of the Republic,
but by the whole governing body OF the
Republic. Consequently, the struggle Is
not between the religious orders and a
Minister, or between them and the t'aDl-
net, but is between them and the Repub-
lie. Nothing said or done to the contrary
will alter the situation, and to realize
what may happen or what will probably
happen, the question must be put thus,
"Who will give way-the Republic or the
religious orders 2" The answer is self-evi-
dent. The present Government raised the
question under conditions such as make it
impossible for it to give way without
falling; and the religious orders, cashier
side. cannot submit without a struggle,
| after having SO hotlv contested the right
ot the Government. Hence the conflict is
inevitable, not from the point of view Of
ogic, but because the two adversaries
have both burnt their ships, rendering re-
treat impossible. 1t has yet to be seen in
what form and on what ground the con-
fict will be carried on, and what will be
it's result. Let us suppose that it is nov
the 29th of June next-that is to say, that
the period of three months fixed by the
Pecrees has expired. THE orders have not
TIRED. A Deputy of the Left asceads the
(ribgne. asks the Government what steps
has taken to enforce the DEGREES it has
published, and proposes an order Of the.
~, calling On the Government to carry
hem out. NJ. de- iFreycinet ascends the,
fibune, declares that he will not accept
pGh an order of the day, that the Govern
rent knows, its duty, and that it reserves
he right and power to carry out the
lectee in question at the time and in .thet
egree II thinks best for the public veal.
