Hawkins, esq., of Wall street, writes to the editor of the New York Graphic, and gives him the following facts on the Silver Money question, which are so clear and easy of comprehension that we transfer them, almost bodily, to our columns, believing that they will give our readers a clearer insight into this question than anything we have yet published : From the origin of money, silver has fur nished the greater part of the .toin of the world. This fact demonstrates its superior fitness. With a small exception, it is now the money of the world. The greater majority of mankind in all civilized countries receive their wages, weekly or monthly, and expend them in numerous items in the support of themselves and families. _ . It is equally, with gold, made money by the Constitution. Hamilton, one of the wisest statesmen and soundest financiers this coun try bas produced, advocates silver equally with goid. Our statutes, down to 1873, made the silver dollar the money unit of the nation and a le gal tender fur all debts. Every bond the Gov eminent has now out is by its very terms, and the clear words of the statutes under which it is issued, payable, at the option of the Gov ernment, in either silver coin of a given weight and fineness, or gold coin of a given weight and fineness. Whenever at maturity the Government ten ders either the amount of silver or the amount of gold specified ii the bond and the statute under which it was issued, it equally fulfills every legal and every um: al obligation to its creditor. Nothing can be plainer than this as a question of law or of morals, and every in telligent man who reads the bond and the stat ute knows it. Why, then, the insane cry of "fraud," and '•cheat," and "repudiator," raised by the New York City press against every advocate of the remonetization of silver? Why does paid counsel in court sometimes exhaust his intellect in fierce denunciati,n of his opponent, instead of calmly and logically confining himself to th,t facts and law of his case ? It is simply because he is conscious that the facts and law are not ot., his side. Hence, and only hence, the bad temper and language of the newspaper counsel retained for the cred itor class. Half of the coin of the world is silver. Strike this out of existence as money, and the other half, which is gold, has to do double work. What is the result ? Its purchasing power is doubled. It takes twice as much labor, or the products of labor, to obtain a given sum of coin, as before. Whom does this benefit ? The creditor class, and the cieditor class only. Debts, bonds and mortgages call for the same number of dollars as before, anti each dollar costs the debtor double. If half the money of the world is to be demonetized, fairness re quires that all debts should be reduced one half; yet the creditor class du not suggest this. They would doubtless denounce as a "cheat' and a "repudiator" any one who should r-o -pcs3 it. Yet do they not see that unless the scaling of debts goes with the demonetization. of half the money of the world, they become Shylocks and extortioners ? The debtor class have rights as well as the creditor class. A hundred years ago the balance of trade set firmly in favor of England ; she saw that she was in the future to twin the favored class of creditor nations. II r interest then was to make the purcl g power of money the greatest_Dc - , in order that her debtors might - Eave to send her the maximum amount of their products to pay their debts to her. She accomplished this by demonetizing silver and requiring them to pay her in the equivalent of gold. Four years ago she saw that we were be coming a great silver producing nation. She held a large amount of our bonds, payable either in silver coin or gold coin. Could she stop our mint from coining silver the purchas ing power of gold would be largely increased and we should be obliged to redeem our bonds in gold alone. She required a large amount of silver for her East India possessions, having 150,000,000 of people, and wished to get it cheap. Neither she nor her colonies produced silver, while we produced about one half of the whole annual product. She became a bear in the silver market and sent skillful agents here, and such proceedings were had, unbe known to our people, that a few lines slipped into a bill relating to the mint, demonetized silver. She then could buy our silver cheap to supply the 150,000,000 of people in her Asi atic dependencies ; while the gold from her mines in Australia and New Zealand, equally in amount to nearly one-half the gold product of the world, was vastly enhanced in value. Germany, from the days of Hermann, had used silver for money • but as a result of the ate war she extorted $1,000,000,000 of gold, or gold obligations, from France, and then be lievinr she had not only emptied France of gold, but controlled more ready gold than all the other European nations, thought to doub le her own power and still further weaken France by demonetizing silver and so enhance the purchasing power of liar 51,000,000,000 of - al-extorted French gold and reduce the pur chasing power of the silver money left in Francer—Arp, arently, it was-for the moment a great stroke of "blood and iron" statesman ship; but it was a violation of the laws of trade ; it, as it were, cut off at home one of the legs of German industry, and has caused her ever since to hobble along at an uncertain pace until now her people are floundering in financial distress ; while France, with her sil ver and gold, has nearly recovered from the loss of the $1,000,000,000. Clearly, England and Germany in this mat ter are not examples for us tofollow. They bad special reasons for depressing silver, while we have special reasons for enhancing its value. In demonetizing it we were made a tool by them ; we did a stupid thing and did it in a stupid way. The opponents of its remoneti zation in the light of the distress of the last three years in'this country and Germany are like the man Solomon speaks of when he says ; "Though thou shouitlst bray him in a mor tar * * yet will not his foolishness depart from him." • Our legislators at Washington are the po litical agents, the trustees of the people. They have in demonetizing silver abused their trust and made the burdens on the backs of the people heavier and more grievous to be borne. They have no right to say by a law that debts contracted in silver or gold shall be payable only in the dearer metal. This, so far as the debtor is concerned, is impairing the obliga tions of the contract with a vengeance. They have no right to alter in the least the terms of the bonds issued, whether it be to favor the one party to the bond or the other. The peo ple, notwithstanding the New York City press, understand the question. They want right done and they mean to have it. If this Con gress will not remonetize silver they will choose another that will. If the Executive vetoes a reasonable bill for this purpose they will take care that the next Executive is wiser. —..— Our mines are producing $30,000,000 of sil ver per year ; it will take at this rate at least ten years to supply the people with silver enough for their daily small transactions. The large transactions will never actually be dorie with either silver or gold, but with paper, con vertible into silver or gold. If the Secretary of the Treasury can sell a gold bond at a lower rate of interest than a silver one, let a law be passed authorizing in clear teruls a gold bond. If others prefer a silver bond, let another law authorize a silver bond. Then we shall have a gold bond, a sil ver bond and the bonds at present authorized payable in either silver or gold, at the option of the Government. . All that is required of governmento in finan cial matters is strict. absolute, unvarying in tegrity—leaning neither to the creditor nor to the debtor class. The ratio between gold and silver varies ev ery century ; but the necessity of both for money has for 4,000 years been a constant quantity, and whl remain such. It is wise for us to recognize these facts and act -on thew without further delay.

Laird, Edware Cook, and Tom Trawler, were in the bar-room of G. W. Briggs, on the corner of Cromwell and Elliott Street, drinking. Everything passed off pleasantly until one of the party procured a bottle of whisky to take home, when one of the others commenced tussling with him for the whisky ; lie was thrown down and the whisky spilled. Mr. Briggs then told them he wouid have no such work in his house. The owner of the spilled whisky, then said he would treat and they would make it up. Mr. Briggs said be bad no objections to making it up, but they could get no more whisky from him. This made the men very angry and they said they would rid out the room. After some further talk and quarreling they started as if to go out, but as the last one got to the dlor he said to the rest that he intended to rid that ranche ont, and turning round, hit a Mr. Brown, who was sitting there a disinterested spectator, a tremendous kick. Mr. Brown, struck back, and having a knife in his hand with which he was whittling, inflicted a slight cut on the side of his head. By this time the others had entered the room attain and the fight became general. After considerable difficulty they were put out and the door closed. They then commenced a bombard ment of the house with scones, brick bats, and anything they could lay their hands on, breaking the doors and windows and complete ly demoralizing the room, some of the stones even going inside to the bar, and breaking bottles and glasses. By this time the ex citement was becoming great—women and children Were running hither and thither, cries of murder and oaths and curses were beard. A considerable crowd had gathered as spectators and through their Intervention the riot was quelled. The parties concerned left without being arrested, but returned in a day or so and gave themselves up, and entered bail for their appearance at court. The above are the facts of this most dis graceful affair, which should be thoroughly investigated and the guilty punished.—Orbi .souia Leader.

THE HOLIDAYS AT OAK HALL.—With an experience of seventeen years in providing the public with clothes, Wanamaker & Brown are far beyond the possibility of mistake in preparing exactly what is wanted. Their popular resort has now over a million dollars' worth of well-made and well assorted clothing and furnishing goods, and as the prices are all marked down from ten to thirty per cent., there is a tremendous rush of buyers. The great Forty Days' sale now going on at Oak Hall is not the closing out of a broker. lot of winter goods. Instead of waiting till after New Year to put prices down, Wanawaker & Brown reduced everything in their fresh and unbroken stock, shortly afier the middle of November, thus affording the public amp!e opportunity for selection from the largest and most varied stock ever offered in Philadelphia. The people have shown their appreciation of this enterprise by coming in even greater throngs than ever before, and availing them selves of the rare opportunities for bargaiuS which the present great sale affords. In addition to the immense business carried on at Oak Hall in selling to people who conic in person to buy, a large force is kept busy in attending to the "mail order" department.. This is especially worthy the attention of those of our readers who cannot make it con venient to go to Philadelphia. They may write for samples of .goods and directions for self measurement, with the certainty that their orders will be as accurately filled, and their interests as carefully guarded, as if they were personally present. The well-established reputation of Oak Hall is such that people know they will get the worth of their money in dealing there. Oak Hall clothes make capital Christmas presents. OBITUARY.—Death of a Venerable La dy.—in oar death notices on Saturday it was stated that Mrs. Rachael Lyon Campbell had died on the 27th ult. at her home in Union town, Mrs. Campbell was the widow of the late venerable Doctor Hugh Campbell. Dr. Campbell was, a few years ago, warden of the Western Penitentiary, and resided with his family in Allegheny city. It is but a year or two since, having retired to Uniontown, the theater for many years of his extensive prac tice as a physician, Doctor Campbell, at a good old age, and with bis fine reputation as a skilled physician and Christian gentleman, was gathered to his fathers. Now Mrs. Camp bell has gone :to join him in Paradise. She 4 , 16 a lady conspicuous chiefly for intelligence and for domestic life. The few in Allegheny who enjoyed her acquaintance rtgiirded her as a type of the ladies of the old school in so many ways better than the modern. She was devoted to her family and to her church, rarely appearing elsewhere than at her home, where she was distinguished by a cordial and refined hospitality, and by all the virtues and graces of the Christian wife, mother and neighbor. She bap, for several years, alternated between sickness and health, and finally her constitution yielded to the attacks o.f disease, and she is numbered with the blessed dead who die in the Lord. We extend to the stricken family our heartfelt sympathy and condolence.—Plitthurgh Commercial Ga zette. A J U DIC AI. OPINION OF "DRUMMERS." —The following, from the Chicago Inter-Ocean, has been handed us for publication : "In the trial of a suit before the lowa Supreme Court, Lrought by a commercial traveler against a railway for being ejected from a train, Judge Hubbard, of Cedar Rapids, took occasion to denounce "drtpnmers" in the following fash ion : "It may be stated now, as a matter of history that the Court will take judical notice (.1, that this class of men are the 'hardest lot' ou earth. They monopolize rill the best rooms in all the best hotels ; they insult or seduce all the chambermaids between Maine and the Gulf of Mexico and between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans every month in the calen dar year ; they rush into the ladies' car on every railroad in the United States arid Canada every day, and crowd into the seat of every respectable lady traveling alone, and insult her in five minutes afterward ; they travel with harlots, and make assignation houses on every Saturday - night ofevery hotel in America ; they have flirtations, intrigues and elopements with innocent, unsuspecting and respectable young girls in every city and village on the continent; they pursue virtue and goodness as sharks pursue a ship with the yellow fever —and still the learned counsel thinks the con ductors ought to be amiable enough to love them. There may be men in other callings who for a single vice can challenge a compar ison with commercial tourists, but I have never seen them. But for a combination in harmonious blending in dishonesty, impu dence, cowardice, poltroonery, lechery and leprous rascality of all varieties, they stand without a rival and without a peer. "' Ref oiled by R. McElwin', EsQ.] PROCEEDINGS OF IHE HUNTINGDON COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE.--The County Teachers' Institute assewbled, pursuant to previ ous notice, in the Court House on Monday last, at 11- P. M.. and was called to order by Superinten dent McNeal. _ The opening exercises were conducted by Rev. E. C. S•ockton, of hunting-ton, and consisted in th.., reading of a portion of scripture, and prayer. Robt. McDivitt, of Huntingdon was, on motion, electe Recording Secretary, and Samuel Weight, of Springfield, and Thus. Chileote, of Union, as Enrolling Secretaries. The roll of tevbe-s beim", called by townships, it appealed that 85 were present and answered to their names. In the electiun for a committee on Permanent Certificates, Mr. K. H. Or-ene, and Misses Ella S. Montague, and Manilla Stevens, were appointed as tellers. REMARKS BY THE SUPERINTENDEST, Mr. McNeal, Superintendent, addressed a few remarks to the teachers present, congratulating them on tne number enrolled, and expressing the hope that all had come for the purpose of being materially benefitted by the exercises and the in structions to be given from time to time. He referred to the fact that there was in some portions of the county, some opposition to the In stitute, arising from the fact that teacheis came simply for a holiday and not to take part in the exercises, and that they had not when present giv en the proper attention to the instructions, and trusted that no occasion would be given for the repetition of similar complaints, but that the teachers would guard against it by promptness in attendance and an earnest desire to profit by the exercises. The teachers receive the time occupied in attending the Institute, and it is their duty to be as prompt as in the school room. There are three classes of teachers that attend the Institute; the first listen attentively to the instructions given but fail to put it in practical operation, alleging that it does not meat their cir cumstances. Another class endeavor to put in practice everything they hear without exercising the proper judgment as to whether it is adapted to their circainstances, and thus disarrange plans that had previously been used to advantage. The third class, and the one most benefitted was com— posed of those that take with them the instructions imparted here and try to suit it to their particular circum•tanees, thus forming an eclectic programme to put in practice in the ecnool room. Every teach er can do this by taking home something that will be a benefit to hilts and thus make the Institute valuable, if disposed to do so. He had beard some directors remark that their schools had peen ben efitted 50 per cent. by the instructions received here, and trusted that this session of the Institute might be followed by like happy results. He hoped that those to whom certain subjects had been as— signed would be ready to respond when called on, and that we might be able to work up our own home talent during the early part of the week, be fore the arrival us the instructors from a distance. Inc •inpliance with the request of teachers and citizens of the place. he said, we have made ar rangements for a course of first-class lectures, and put the admittance at such reasonable rates as Co justify them in being patronized by every teacher and citizen of this place. The lecturers were all in nossossiou of the highest testimonials, and the audience couid not fail to be interested and in strutted In addition to the lectures arrangements had heed made for a first•class musical treat dur ing the evening session The hours of meeting were announced for this evening at 7 o'clock, and hereafter at 71j. Day sessions to eminence at 9 A. M., and afternoon sessions at l P. M. Tee minutes would be alloted to each speaker in opening subjects for discussion, to ho followed by five minute speeches, with the p ivilege of speaking a second time on the same subject, and Instructors to be limited to half or at mo-t to three- quaaters of an hour. Mr. D. M. Giles, of West township, said one of the objections coming from his township was, that there was not a sufficient opportunity given for the developeuient of home talent, the time being ab sorbed by instructors from a distance, and made a motion which was seconded, to the effect that the time for opening discussions be extented to fifteen minutes. After some further explanation of the subject by the County Superintendent a vote was taken on the motion of Mr. Giles when it was decided in the negative Mr. Sheeler, of Huntingdon, offered a resolution limiting the Instructors to a half hour, and allow ing fifteen minutes to the teachers, sea body, for discussion and asking questions on the subject. This resolution, after some remarks by Messrs. Giles, Caldwell. and Baker, and some further ex planations by Mr. Sheeder, was adopted. The Colivention then adjourned till 7 o'clock P.M; EVENING SESSION. Music "Hours of Sun shine" by the choir under the supervision of Prof. E. C. Stockton. The Tellers appointed to conduct the election of a committee on permanent certificates reported the following persons as elected: Misses It. M. Miller, Emma Isenberg, Prof. J. I. White, and Messrs. W. H. Speeder and G. W. Sanderson. ADDRESS BY GEORGE B. ORLADY, ESQ, Subject—" The Jury of last resort." He took for his position that the jury of last resort was the ballot, in the hands of a free people and that all questions involving the rights of government, of person and of property in a government of and by the people, are there decided, and dwelt forcibly and eloquently ou the importance of the education of the masses up to an intelligent exercise of the right of suffrage as a means of cleansing the streams of modern political corruption. We have to-day, in the United States, two million of il literate voters 1,700,000 of these are in the southern states, owing to the mass of enfranchised igno rance. In the eastern and middle states there are four per cent of the population over ten years of age, unable to read. Pennsylvania, with a popu lation of 3.800,000 has 800,000 children attending school, and 132,000 unable to read and nearly 200,000 unable to write. In Huntingdon county, with a populatior of 35,000 at the last census, 8,000 children were attending school, and nearly 2,000 unable to read and write. Not long ago in this court room a defendant was tried by a jury and found not guilty but sentenced to pay th• costs, in default of which he was committed to ja,l, and a short time afterwards four of his friends joined him in a judgment note to protect the county in releasing him from prison, and out of the the names only one was written, the other four maliing their mark, and the written name was that of the defendant himself. What have we done as a nation to relieve us of this load? He treced the history of legislative enactment for the edunfoion of the masses in the State from the days of William Penn to the present and said, there has been enough legislation, and now the people are responsible. To carry out these provisions is one of the duties of the teacher, so that the whole mass of citizens be intelligent and that every ballot be cast by a thinking mind. The poor man's college is at the poor man's dour, and tne academy of the masses in the centre of every community. The last barrier to success would be taken away if the patrons could be induced to visit the schools, but the inoompetent teacher dreads nothing more than the presence of the patron. When all the people are intelligent we will see a revolution greater -than war, and when your teaching of the children brings this result then is your mission fulfilled.— There can be no wealth with ignorance, and with education there can be no poNerty. Music by the choir. The subject "Functions of Teachers' Institutes, county and local," was presented tor discussion, and opened by Mr. J. G. Corbin, of Brady Mutual instruction And the gainiag of better knowledge, and greater capacity to teach the several branches, and the enlargement of our views are some of the fuo.ctions of the Teachers Institute. Dr. J. S. Patton of Huntingdon followed with , ome practical remarks, when Rev. I. N. Hays, of Shippensburg, was introduced and addressed the Institute in connection with the topic under con sideration. The ends to be gained by such gather ing together of teachers, is first to increase in knowledge of the branches we teach, getting new suggestioes as to the znanagenrent and best means of doing our work, together with the social in fluence created. This is one of the greatest works ever God put jnto the hands of a living man, the development of the physical, intellectual and moral nature of the child; to lead, guide and control the unborn propensities that God has placed there.— You make impressions in the child that will go with it to the judgment seat. When the Son of God left his throne and became a teacher of men I am not ashamed to stood in Hir plane. No class of men or women are exerting a more powerfql fluenoe than the 17000 or 18000 .eachers of Penn sy Engage in the work with a single pur pee in view and never disparage your calling. .Adjourncil WI to-myrrOw at 8 a. ›f. TUESDAY MORNINO, Music— 'Nearer my God to thee." Devotional exercises conducted by Rev. I. N. Hayes. Minutes read and approved. Rev. I. N. Hays addressed the Institute on the subject "Tact in School Management." Many fail, not from want of talent but Prow want of tact. They cannot use what they know in such a way as to be successful. This is true in regard to the management of every busiriess. What is ,school management? A well adjusted plan, embracing the thing to be done, the amount, and the plan of operation. Undertake but one thing at a time.— Be thorough in everything you undertake. Be earnest and enthusiastic in doing whatever you undertake. Tact is to adapt the means, time and character you have to deal with one to the other so as to produce the best possible r,sults. The first thing is a comprehanske plan. Business men lay their plans, and a successful general will first fight his imaginary battles in his mind. Many a man has failed because he undertook to much.— The best teachers arrange to du su much in given period, and the anticipation serves as a stimulus to teacher and scholar alike. Every teacher shouid have a system, with just as much variety as pos sible. Co-operation is one of the elements of success. Do everything thoroughly. Better spend a week in learning to read one paragraph thoroughly than to read through the book carelessly. Cheer fulness of disposition and temper were productive of great good, and imported a wonderful influence. Do not give the child what is beyond its power to accomplish. Give him what he is able to du and he goes at it with spirit and energy. Encourage a judicious spirit of emulation, and stimulate your pupils by an appeal to one of the noblest principles in our nature, the desire to excel so as to reach a more excellent point. The school that has no emulation is not likely to have its name written high on the role of fame. In the discussion of this question Mr. Giles, of West township, said he believed in thorough work. but the popular sentiment was in favor of hurry ing the pupils on, and we have to please the peo ple. There are already More branches introduced into the schools than can be taught successfully. Mr. Sheeder, of Huntingdon, spoke of the amount of work necessary in the school room, and spoke of the rotatory process, or that of hearing a part of the lessons one day and commencing next day where we have left off. Mr. Hays, said the principal objection to this was on account of the confusion it occasioned in the minds of the scholars, they not knowing when their turn would come to recite. Mr. Corbin, of Union, was in favor of this plan. He had adopted it this winter with very good sue cess, and always found plenty of time. It had oc casioned no confuFion in his school. Mr. Baker, of Marklesburg, had practiced this revolving process with very good success. Mr. J. 0. Corbin, of Brady, was decidedly op posed to this plan, and believed in having a set progratome for every day. Ilow would small classes especially know, under the rotatory plan, when they were to recite? (Conclusion in next issue.) New To-Day. - MILES ' - PREMIUM BAKING POWDER , THE PERFECTION OF SCIENCE.
