How Fitz John Porter Lives.

Fitz John Porter has lived most Of
the since the war in New Jersey, says
one of his Washington friends. He was
attracted to Morristown because it was
the home of the late Senator Randolph,
who during his term in the senate, was
a persistant end enthusiastic advocate OF
Porter's restoration to the army. Porter
is a man Of moderate means, but has al
ways been in receipt ola good salary,
owing to his abilities as a civil engineer
aud the interest which his friend. have
taken in him. Judge Lathrop, who was
at one time president and afterward re-
ceiver of the principal railroad In New
Jersey, always gave Fitz John Porter q
comfortable position as consulting civil
engineer for.the road. He also received
employment in the capacity as civil engi-
neer from the city government OF New
York, when the more respectable ele-
ments had control there, but when the
lower elements were In undisputed pos
session Porter lost that occupation. But
he has never wanted for sufficient en-
ployment to give him a comfortable hveli'
hood. He has had a home at Morris
town, and has generally lived summers
at Long Branch. Ever since the wal nc
has maintained close correspondence with
Democratic leaders throughout the coun
try. 1t would surprise the people to ses

PHILLIPS, Hamilton Co., Neb., June
1st.-The B. & M. road has built an ak

About IL miles west of Aurora and
about the same distance east of Grand

on a high prairie "a magnificent site.
There is good opening for all kinds of
business and especially for a good hstel.
The B. g. M. is building a FIRST class dc.

trip around the surrounding farms and
see the prosperity on every hand. If you

Gatherings of Teachers.
TO The Editor or he Erenlno Critic:

10 Me Ldtt0f or me EUtntn0 Critic.
The general belief among the best informed
educators OF our country, ana especially In
those sections where the teachers ana masses
of the people have been most deeply interest.
ed In tho cause OF education, ia that frequent
gatherings OF teachers for discussing educa-
tional methods are highly beneficial to all,
ana conduce essentially 10 the elevation and
Improvement OF the modes OF instruction.
Teachers institutes are now considered an al
most Indispensable requisite In thoee States
and localities whore teachers are the most
thoroughly trained and awake to the demands
OF the times. All properly qualified superin-
tendents look upon such institutes as among
the best instrumentalities they can use TO In
crease the efficiency both OF themselves aud of
the schools under their charge.
Can any one give satisfactory reason why
the present superintendents and trustees OF
public schools In the District OF Columbia have
never had any such gatherings of teachers for
professional Improvement since 1872 Very
many OF the patrons OF the public schools hore
hear about teachers institutes and teachers
conventions In New England, New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and In all the western States;
and now the cry comes up from the Southern
States, "Come over into Macedonia aud help
u.s." but never word do we hear about such
educational gatherings here for the benent OF
our schools.
Why do we not hear from our superintend-
ente, while those OF every part of our country
are giving lectures on methods themselves, aud
Inviting the best representatives OF the nelU
and of the true education TO come ana help
themP Or course we need not expect tho
lthCneIS 10 move IN THIS matter, 80 long as
their superior officers do nothing. Why do
not the superintendents give the poor teachers
somo OF the benefit OF their superior light; of
their professional knowledge and experlence2
Are tho teachers or the patrons OF our public
schools aware OF the immense stores ofknowl-
edge, skill and.experience now lying dormant
and unused by those dignitaries to whom the
people are spaying large salaries that they
may have the full benefit OF their slumbering
resources? Let US hear from those who ought
TO know, for the people want information.

Wednesday, April i6, 1884.

THE Democratic delegates who were Sc
lected a few days ago to choose delegates to
represent the Democrats of this District IN
the Democratic Convention which meets
in Chicago July g, to nominate candidate
for President, met last evening in Willard
Hall. The gathering of others beside del
egates was largo, and was composed Of tho
best citizens of this District-men who rep
resent not only the business interest of the
city but the morals as well were there.
The delegates were representative mon in
their respective districts.
The meeting was as orderly as the Su-
preme Court of tho United States Men
who were the owners of block after block
OF buildings were present. Men whose
heads have grown white with tho passing
Of many winters were gathered in the hall.
The meeting was, in fact, In every respect
an orderly gathering of tho best citizens in
the District.
The selection of Mr. William Dickson as
a delegate to Chicago was thorough
answer to the aspersions that have been
cast upon that gontleman's character. Mr..
Dickson has lived in this District for the
last twenty years. He is known personally
and by reputation to every man, woman
and child in the District of Columbia, as
well as to great many prominent men in
the States. Because he was so unfortunate
as to be chosen on u jury in the Criminal
Court of this District in an Important trial
two years ago, he was denounced by pur-
chased and unscrupulous press. So far did
the agents and hired pimps of the alleged
Department of Justice and few alleged
newspaper men go in their efforts to be-
smirch Mr.. Dickson, because he dared to do
his duty rs he understood it--which duty
and act was afterward confirmed by twelve
other citizens-that they well nigh ruined
his business.
But time at last sets all things even, and
time has set Mr.. Dickson right. A commu.
nifty in which he has lived for twenty
years, and done business amounting to mil
lions, has taken advantage Of the first OPP
portunity afforded, and has said to the peo-
pie throughout the country
"The aspersions cast upon Billy Dickson
by the hired men of the Department OF
Justlce WcIe iaise' VIC, 1ne mon VINO pay
the taxes of this District, give him this
certificate as vindication against the vile
and untruthful charges made against him
We send him to Chicago to represent us, in
connection with his colleague, in the Ma.
tional Democratic Convention. We have
known him for twenty years or more, and
truer or more honorable man does moi
live. This Endorsement we give because it
| is deserved"
