GENERAL sHERIDAN's REMOVAL IN

 1867.

 But there is another fact or another circumstance in this line of thought, a great fact, as I con ceive it, and that is in 1867 Gen eral Sheridan was in command of the Fifth Military District, as it was called at that time. In con- sequence of his mismanagement of that district he produced so much dissatisfaction and such was his officious interference, and such were his oppressive acts, that there was one general vail, one unanimous murmur came up from that section of the coun- try, and that was for his removal. He was removed from the com mand. I merely refer to this fact to show that these parties now engaged in the work of usurpa- tion, in the work of tyranny, in the work of violating the organic law of the land, that it is not a new thing to them. In conse- quence of this vail that came up from the people, it was determin- ed by the President then that this man should be removed, and his removal was ordered. In the or der dated August 26, 1867, it was stated that Major General P. H. Sheridan will at once turn over his present command to the off cer next in rank to himself, and proceed without delay to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and relieve

 

 General Winfield s. Hancock, in command of the Department of the Missouri, and General Geo. P. Thomas will take command in his place. This order was after ward changed, and General Han cock sent to take command of the Department of Louisiana on ac count of the indisposition and sickness of General Thomas. It will be remembered, know, by most persons, and especially by Senators here, that when General Hancock took command some of the persons who had been remov- ed from office by General Sheridan were reinstated, that peace and quiet were restored, general satis- faction was given and General Hancock, in an order addressed to the people of that State, laid down the true dividing line be- tween military and civil supre- macy.

 When this order was made, there sprung up controversy be- tween the Executive and the Gen. eral of the army, the latter protest ing against the removal of Gener- al Sheridan, saying he was a very popular man and was following the will ofthe people; but notwith- standing this assertion, which was mere assertion, he was not rein stated. At that time the people of Louisiana appeared to be in a disturbed condition and most of the antagonism seems to have re- suited from General Sheridan s management. Ilc rendered him

At the opening of the schools of our
county. | sent blank reports to each
teacher to be filled out and sent to my
address at the close of each month. /
also sent a small circular stating the
improvements we should make during
the year. When visiting the schools,
| gave each teacher q reporting card,
showing the condition of the school.
This reporting system has resulted in
much good in our county, as it has
brought the necessary wants promi-
nentiy before the teacher.


We have adopted a regular system
and course of study. Onr county is
well suited for a graded course of study
in all schools, as we have uniformity
of textbooks.


,SuqqeSt,ons.-1st The purport Of the
Common School system Is that every
pupil attending the schools shall re-
ceive knowledge of Spelling, Reading,
Writing. Arithmetic, Geography, Gram
mar and History, and yet hundreds of
pupils have left our schools at thc'agc
of eighteen or twenty, who have never
recited single lesson in Geogra-
ply, Grammar or History. Hence
they have not received the benefit the
law provides for them This can only
be remedied by teachers requiring all
pupils to study all the branches when
they are not far enough advanced to
use textbooks, to teach them by oral
lessons. have visited schools during
the past term, where two hundred
questions in History and one hundred
in Geography and Grammar were mas
tered by all the pupils. Many parents
consider the study of Grammar of no
Importance, and pupils view it as
very difficult study. By making the
lessons plain and easy through this
system, all this trouble is obviated and
the pupil receives taste Tor the study.
There certainly can be no advantage
in having pupils pass almost through
the Arithmetic, to be prepared to take
up Grammar. The nature of child
is to constantly change, and should he
master out twenty questions in Geog-
raphy, Grammar, Writing, Arithmetic
and History, with his reading and
spelling. he would be properly started
IL each branch, and changing from one
to the other would be recreation and
by the lessons being short make them
pleasant. Many pupils are injured by
being overworlsed on one branch.


I'd. 1t is often asked by directors,
what good can they do by visiting
schools ? Many directors labor hard
TO have good school houses; to have
their districts out of debt TO be prompt
in the paving of teachers, and to have
their schools well supplied with fnel
and apparatus and vet. see no merit
in visiting schools. Now, whatever
other work directors may do, it is all
TO this end that the pupils of the dis
trict NAV receive a knowledge of the
Common School studies. and yet. with
all their other work, unless they visit
and see that the teachers teach these
branches, in many cases it will not be
done. and a great amount of tax will
be paid and but little benefit received

Preservation of Smoked Meat.


Professor Nesslsr says that the keep
ing qualities Of smoked meat do not
depend upon the amount of smoking,
but upon the uniform and proper dry
ing OF the meat. 1t Is of considerable
advantage also to roll the meat on its
removal from salt before smoking In
sawdust or bran. By this means the
crust formed in smoking will not be
80 thick, and if moisture condenses
upon the meat it remains in the bran,
the brown coloring matter of the
smoke not penetrating. The best
place to keep the meat is in a smoke
house in which it remains dry, without
drying out entirely as it does when
hung in a chimney.
