The position of Mr.. Blaine in the
controversy over the proper attitude
of this government toward the South
American Republics is not turning out
as those over-ardent supporters of the
administration would have it. Their
attitude is now similar to that of the
father who gave his young hopeful an
undeserved chastisement, and then
finding out that the boy was not to
blame consoled himself with the
thought that the licking was not mis-
applied, that it would do for the next
time. Blaine comes out OF the contro.
versy thus far without loss. It is
noticeable that hostilities have been
pretty much on one side. Mr.. Blaine
has not found it necessary to swear or
or get red in the face, or call anybody
names. He has refuted by manly ut
terances the allegations that were false,
quietly overturned the theories of his
less able opponents as to what should
be the true policy of this government
in her relations to these countries.

TEACHERS MEETING.

The teachers of the E. d. met at the
Dexter School house on Saturday.
Feb. A. The day being fine, quite a
number were in attendance. Several
patrons of the district were also pres
emit, which was very encouraging to
teachers.
The afternoon session was called to
order by VIM. Barnes, Y. P. The ex-
erclses were varied and interesting.
Opening exercise was a general discus
sion upon the subject of Constitution
and History. The conclusion reached
was, the two should be closely connect
ed in study. This was followed by a
class exercise in arithmetic by Mr..
Haley. Subject" Compound num-
bers." Glass was conducted in an ener-
getic and pleasing manner.
After an intermiSsion Of fifteen min
utes, members were called to order,
and the question was presented, "Was
West Virginia ever legally admitted
into the Union as state?" After
some consideration of this subject,
Mr.. Cropley and Mr.. Shiels favored
the teachers with some very good ideas
about How to teach Primary Geog-
raphy."
Meeting then adjourned to the Tor
rey School house on Saturday, Feb, IS,
at 10 A. M. sharp.
Will not all the teachers of the E. D.
ignore all kinds of weather except sun
shine, and be present and help carry
out the programme prepared for the
occasion?
The patrons of the school and men,
bers of the School Board are most cor
daily invited to attend.

The 9th of February will be looked
forward to in Washington with more
than usual interest. On the evening
of that day Mr.. Blaine will eulogize
Garfield. The outlines of his speech
are said to have been limited at to per.
sonal friends. 1t is thought that there
will be more about Blaine in the ad-
dress than about Garfield. Mr.. Blaine
will probably be prepared to deliver
himself Of the most carefully prepared
speech Of his life. Every word will be
well weighed and carefully chosen.
The intimate relations between him.
self and Garfield during those last days
fit him for such an address. He is
better prepared than any one else to
give the aims and principles of that
brief administration, and to make the
public acquainted with the views of
the late President on questions that
are now all important. These things
combined with the peculiar position
that the ex-Secretary sustains to Mr..
Arthur and the South American ques.
ton, and his possible candidacy in
1884 for the Presidency, will make bis
speech of unusual interest.

1t seems very probable that the bill
providing for capital punishment in
this state will pass this legislature.
The adoption of law inhicting the
death penalty is a mooted question in
the state. A great deal of printers
ink has been spent upon it without APP
parently changing the current of pub
lie opinion, and if adopted now it will
be due to the pressure from increased
criminality and a disposition on the
part of Judge Lynch too frequently to
take the matter into his own hands.
There are serious objections to that
mode of dealing with even the worst
criminals, but there is state of things
more Objectionable than these obiec-
tions, and perhaps it will not prove a
bad experiment to try it for few
years till the proper tone Of respect to
the laws is reached, when it may again
be abolished.

OUTLOOK IN VIRGINIA OTHER
SOUTHERN STATES.
The political outlook in the Southern
States indicate the overthrow of the
Bourbon democracy. The triumph of
the Republicans, aided by the Readjust-
ers, in Virginia last fall has inaugural
kOOullIEIH
States, which will result in establishing
new order of things. The rights of
the people of color, which have been
withheld and trampled upon, will be
accorded to them, as contemplated by
the constitutional amendments. In
Virginia the fruits of the election last
fall are being realized; the public debt,
which has hung like dark pail over
the State, will be paid. The legislature
now in session is deyising means for
the adjustment and payment of the
debt to the satisfaction of the bond
holders. The elective franchise will
be freed from the distractions which
now embarrass it. The public schools,
which have been neglected under Bour-
bon rule, will receive suitable encour-
agement from the present. legislature.
immigration will be invited, with as
surances of protection.
Virginians who are met in Washing
ton are elated over the bright pros
pect; they say better feeling exists
than for years past, and real estate has
advanced in price since November
last. Men of well-known and reliable
standing in other states of the South
speak of a growing revolt against the
old party lines, and declare the solid
south" cannot much longer hold to-
gether. The fact is beginning to be
realized by many leading southern
democrats that it does not pay to keep
up their alliance with the northern
democracy, and that such determination
has been of no advantage to them;
that no member of that party has ever
made a move to protect the rights of
the colored people, and punish fraudu-
lent voting at national elections.
Northern Democrats were never heard
in Congress denouncing the murderous,
assaults and killing Of y. S. Revenue
officers in the South while engaged in
their official duties. The party which
most faithfully denounced fraud, vio-
lence and murder at national elections,
both north and south, is. after all, the
best friend of the south. F.

Under the heading of "Mr. Blaine

undertakes to refute some current re-
ports as to any political connection be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and that paper. The
report has been circulated that it is a

course in the state department, and
claims that it is in accordance with an

the policy of Monroe. Jackson, Douglas

Guiteau was sentenced on Saturday
to be hung June 30next. In all proba-
bihty the sentence will be duly carried
into effect. With his death the great
tragedy will have come to an end.
There has already been too much said
about it. 1t will be a relief to turn
from it, feeling that this great criminal
has met the fate he 50 richly deserved,
and that in this case at least our courts
have discharged faithfully an import
ant and difficult duty. In spite of the
great strain that has for the past eight
months weighed upon the public mind
over this calamity, and its extension in
the trial of the culprit, events have re-
fused to be suspended, and we are fast
hurrying to forgetfulness.

of the subject of bankruptcy, revision
of corrupt election practices, amend
