Teachers and History.

OFFICE OF STATE CoM'R OF COMMON SCHOOLS,
COLUMBUS, OHIO, May 1Oth 1882
The Legislature, last winter, amended Section 4014
of the Revised Statutes, making it read mo person
shall be employed to teach in any common school,
who has not obtained a certificate that he
she is qualified to teach orhography, reading, writ
ing, arithmetic, geography, English grammar, and
United States History = to tCE6 effect from and
after September !, 1SS2.'
In answer to numerous letters regarding the opera
tion of this law, respectfully submit this opinion
ITO employ does not seem to bear the same narrow
meaning ''to engage 'to hire,' "to make con-
tract with" Webster defines the word ito Keep in
service !" agent, servant, representa-
tive" and the like. This would indicate that under
the law person who has not received certificate
to teach United States History be "kept IN SER
Uiec after the 1st day of September next. But the
Constitution protects parties from such operation of
laws would "impair the obligation of contracts.
Hence it is believed that any contract made before
the passage the above law CApr s. 1897 is binding
to its end under certificates which were adequate
when the contract was made. The passage of the law
however, is notice to all parties contracting with the
State teachers, subsequent to such passage, and
the law, to all of its provisions, becomes part of
all such contracts. Hence all persons making con-
tracts after April g. 1882 to teach school in
the State for any term continuing after September l.,
must, think have added to their certificate United
States History in such to cover all the time
to be employed in such teaching after September L,
1882.
AS to the claim presented by some of the letters,
that certificates running for two three five years
contracts, or in the nature of vested rights,
think little reflection will correct this vew These
certificates merely, 1t seems to testimonials
obtained by teachers in conformity to the then eX
listing of the State that teachers should pos
sess certain qualifications conditions precedent to
employment in its schools. 1t certainly may enlarge
these conditions precedent to the validity of con-
tracts to be hereafter entered into and may demand

THE Democratic papers are rejoic-
ing with exceeding great joy, because
the Pond Law has been held uncon-
stitutional. This decision will be
looked upon with about as much re-
spect as was the Dred Scott decision
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, quarter Of a century ago,
when it was judicially announced that
under our celebrated constitution of
the United States, person Of Afri-
can descent had no rights which a
white man was bound to respect.
The decision on the Pond Law was
given by Okey, a Democrat, and Long
worth, of Cincinnati, neither Of whom
could be expected to favor tenn
perance or decency. 1t is said that
McIlvaine held out long time for
the law, while Judge Johnson, much
the ablest Judge of the five, came out
squarely for the law. We will pub
lish his dissenting opinion in full
next week.

Declines the Honor.


1t is well known to the readers of the Blade that
there has been very strong sentiment in this county
in favor of the nomination of H. s. Willard, of Jack
son county, for Congress. For some weeks past his
friends have been resting in the belief he would
accept the nomination if rendered him. He has,
however, declined will be from extracts
we have been permitted to take from letter to
of his personal friends in this city. We regret his
refusal to run, Mr.. Willard is a representative
and in way qualified to represent this Dis
trict in Congress. 1t is proper to add that Mr..
Wilards letter not intended for publication, and
it appears without his authority. But are
he will take ofense at the liberty taken in giving
to readers portions of it. 1t is manly and
patriotic and its sentiments SO appropriate at this
particular uncture of affairs that it deserving of

A MAN in a North Carolina church
sang so loudly, that evil-disposed per-
sons would gather in large numbers to
hear him, and laugh at him during
services. After vainly trying to per-
suade the boisterous brother to be
quiet, the membership appealed to the
Courts and had him arrested, but the
Courts decided that he might sing as
loudly as he pleased, provided he was
conscientious in it. The only hope
for the congregation is to have a metal
roof put on the building, and ''let him
holler."

A Brilliant Editor.

The following appeared in the Gin
cinnati Commercial of June 1st:
CITY, May 81, 1882.
To the Editor of the Commercial:
Is not the political complexion of
the Ohio Supreme Bench four Repub-
licans and one Democrat? And did
not the one Democrat sustain the
Pond Bill? Please answer and oblige
SUBSCRIBER.
That is as we understand 1t.
Hon. w. w. Johnson, of Ironton,
is the Judge who sustained the Pond
Bill. The editor Of the Commercial,
in the answer to Subscriber" says
that Judge johnson is Democrat.
Does he know no better than that
If so, is he not too ignorant to at
tempt to edit even the most obscure
patent country paper? Judge John
son was once candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Court on the Repub-
lican ticket. and was defeated; he
served five years on the Supreme
Court Commission, and was after
wards elected Judge of the Supreme
Court, and is one Of the most eminent
Judges in Ohio; yet here is the editor
of a great O. paper, who wants to
sneer at the country press, who either
has not sense enough to know that
Judge johnson is one of the most
earnest, consistent Republicans in the
State, or he desires to deceive the
Dutch beer-jerking Republicans, in
order to get them to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. Which is it?

THE Democratic members Of the
National House Of Representatives
have developed into body Of aimless
filibusters, with no care for anything
save to obstruct public business. The
House unseated Dibble, of South Car
olina, and gave the seat to Mackey.
There was a regular bear-dance and
uproar on the Democratic side, and
the Republicans were accused of all
manner Of "skulldugery," but the
Democratic ballot-box stufer quietly
packed his earthly possessions, and
turned his face South-Carolina-ward.

have visited the County Jail, and
made a complete examination thereof,
and find that the rules prescribed by
the Court for the care thereof, and
for the government Of its inmates,

Jail u persons charged with crime
Two for petit larceny, one for bur-
glary, one for grand larceny, three for
shooting with intent to kill, one for
horse stealing, one for putting off
counterfeit money, one charged with
perjury, one insane but harmless and

A NEW claimant for the Tichborne
estate in England has appeared in
California. 1t is said that the man
claims to be able to fully prove his
identity as the long-lost Sir Roger
Charles Tichborne, and that he left
England more A1an thirty years ago
because of Entertainment from rela-
tives, and vowed he would never re-
turn until the family name had died
out. The term of the self-imposed
exile has now expired, and he is going
home to claim his fortune.

POlicy-Right.

1t twould be good thing for Ohio
politics if the Republicans of every
County in the State were as unhinch-
ing in adherence to the right as the
Republicans Of Jackson County.
This County is always true. Her Re-
publican majority-though at some
times, during off years, not large-is
just as certain of being returned as
that election day comes around. 1t
gives us especial pleasure to note the
manly stand taken by the Republic
cans on last Saturday upon the tenn
perance question.
We have been cautioned right here
in jackson that we must not have a
great deal to say upon this important
question, lest we drive the saloon
keepers out Of the party. Strange as
it may seem, intelligent men have ad-
vacated the getting down by Republi-
cans upon their bellies, in the mud
and begging the saloon-keepers to vote
the Republican ticket. We hold that
political party should know no such
word as policy" The party should
determine what is RIGHT to be done,
and do it boldly.
In Jackson there are just five saloon
keepers who generally vote the Re-
publican ticket. We do not believe
that one of them holds as the price Of
his voting that ticket the advocacy by
the party Of his right to destroy man
kind, build up crime, and extend ruin
in the community. If any man can
place his political action upon SO low
level as that, he is not up to the
point of being a useful Republican.
We say we do not believe that any
intelligent mans political faith is bas-
ed ON the condition Of his stomach.
There is a great body Of intelligent
men in Jackson County who do not
spend their time-or any great part OF
tin the saloons. These men are
not all Republicans-but they are in
telligent, upright citizens, and admire
bold, manly stand upon any great
public question. The party that at
attempts, by any sort of scheme or
subterfuge, to trap men into voting
with it, will fail. We Republicans of
the town of Jackson may debate this
scheme, or that scheme, for securing
votes and perpetuating the party in
power, but when the representatives
Of the Republican party in the County
assemble in convention they very nat
urally inquire what there is wrong in
the history of the party, and why not
indorse and stand by that history
They do not believe in sacrificing five
hundred votes in order to secure five
votes. In short, the Republican par
ty of jackson County believes in sus-
tanning the right, and that boldly, un-
equlVOcally.
To do right, is to act with policy
The time has not come when an intel
ligent people can be convinced that
beer is brains, and drunkenness is po-
litical wisdom. The party in the
State has made step in the direction
Of temperance Of which it is, and
ought to be, proud.
There can be no turning back
The intelligent voters of the great
State Of Ohio cannot be convinced
that craftsmanship consists in mans
having a stomach like an inflated bal
loon, nose like pounded beef-steak
and eyes like two buckeyes half buried
in the mud.
