willing, therefore, to educate sons
abroad as circumstances have made il
proper with their daughter.
Mr.. ahd Mrs. Davis will 60 to Europe
in June for their daughter. Notwith-
standing reports to the contrary, Mr.,
Davis does not remember to have seen
Mr.. Lincoln. He talks freely of men
and measures. Andrew jackson is
greatly admired by him. He said: "Ii
jackson had been born in courts he
could not have been more courtly.''
When Mr.. Davis had completed his
education he went from Kentucky to
Mississippi on horseback, and from
Nashville, he road out to the Hermit
age, making delightful visit to the
General. He mentions Jackson as hav-
ing been much purer man in his moral
character than is generally believed.
In Jackson, Calhoun, and Albert Sid
ney johnson, he said, he could never
see much of fault.
In conversation upon the present
political issues Mr.. Davis spoke as a
mere spectator, as he really is, and not
a participant. He does not regard the
defeat OF Hancock as so deplorable a
matter as might be supposed, and says
that the sooner Democrats announce
their fixedness of purpose to stand by
the right, expecting only defeat, the
sooner they will be respected, and the
better will be their chances Of ultimate
success.
The Gentleman faYoring the Ameri-
can with the foregoing did not expect
to give any publicity to Mr.. Davis's
views, but they are such as can do no
harm, and will be read with interest.
To use the language of friend, the
leader of the "lost cause" will never
bring reproach upon the people who
honored him as their leader and their
chief.

SPRING GROVE, Fayette Co., Ool
Decembef. 1880.

SPRING Grove, Fayette Co., O.,l
December, 1880. !
EDIToRs HERALD: Permit me through
your columns to say few words in re-
gard to Spring Grove School. In ac-
cordance with the adage that five
things are requisite in speaking and
writing, viz, to whom, of whom
how, when and where, we congratu,
late the School on Its present outlook
status and prospects. The Board OF
Managers have had tho sagacity and
luck to place the right person In the
right place as teacher; not that Mrs,
Snyder Is better scholar, or even as
well educated as some or perhaps most
of her predecessors, but because she is
a born teacher; that Is, her inheritance
makes teaching her forte.
On this point too much cannot well
be said, unless, indeed, 1t be said to the
wrong person or In the wrong time or
place. AS we only desire to call atten-
tlon to the fact that with such teach
er, instruction, government and gener-
al discipline appears so easy and natur-
al, whilst many, very many, whose
qualifications appear unexceptionable
make an almost total failure, we will not
dwell longer on this point. We do not
feel content, however, to drop the sub
ject without appealing to all interested
in education at Spring Grove partlcu-
larly, or In our educational system gem
orally, to take a close, critical survey
Of the workings of our school system,
and then say whether the best results
do not uniformly follow natural instead
OF acquired ability. Not that acquire
ment is Objectionable, but that acqired
ability without natural talent must for
ever fall No great wonder then we
see so many failures. A large majority
only make school teaching the stepping
stone to something they desire much
more.
II these few hints and suggestions
shall in any way aid School Boards IN
their important duties, and In some de-
gree assist worthy aspirants TO the Office
Of teacher, the writer will be satisfied.

The Republican members of the House
Of representatives Wednesday brought
their iillibustering tactics into play and
not only wasted three honrs Of valuable
time but succeeded in preventing the
Democrats from making any further
progress toward the passage of the cleo
toral count resolution This action of
the minority is precisely what they
agreed to do in caucus to obstruct the
passage of the resolution by every means
in their power, AMI it was reasonable to
suppose that the Democrats would have
appreciated the necessity Of having eve
ry member in his seat Instead of this
we find that upon a call Of the roll 'aly
1870 Democrats, or seventeen less than
quorum, answered to their names. FL
How long is this worse than farce to
continue If the Democratic members
sho failed to answer to their names
had been present there would have been
no trouble either about quorum or the
passage Ct the resolution, a1d the ncces-
sary means should be at once taken to
compel their attendance. Not alone
content with this action in the House
the Republicans in the Senate introduce
ed resolution comforting upon the
President of that body the right to an.
pouce the vote for President and Vice
President on February 9, at noon,
and if it shall appear that choice has
been made agrecably to tue constitution
such entry on the journal shall be deem
ed a sufficient declaration thereof" To
whom we would like to know, is it to
appear that choice, &c, is to be
made? If to the President of tie SEN
ate, then the resolution is in direct con-
fict with the speeches of Conkling, Ed
munds and other Republican leaders
when the same subject was under con
sidcration, and which Republican
Congress refused to accept when it pass
ed the twenty-second joint rule. Sena
tor Whyte promptly and properly OBJ
jected to the resolution and it was laid
over. If the Democrats in Congress
are in earnest about tits electoral count
resolution, and recognize as they should
its Importance. they will secure quo
rum in the House and chcckmate the
parliamentary tactics of the minority -
Will they do it?
