EDUCATIONAL.
The following communication was
received tht) week after the School
Directors' Convention, from a citizen
of Gulich to vnship, but was mis-laid;
hence its appearance at this time is no
fault of the writer. As tho question
discussed br our correspondent is of
a general an I future character, wo in
sert iti"aptl;e benefit of - "whom it
may concern."
The election cf County Superin
tendent of Common Schools in Clear
field county is now among the im
portant events of the past, not to be
acted over again until three more
years have come and gono. Whether
tho best thing was done that could
have been done in that august con
vention of directors, assembled in tho
court-house, is a problem that admits
of no immediate Holution, and perhaps
never will bo solved. Men are think
ing animals, and they will die before
they abandon the inveterate habit of
thinking for themselves. Some men
are smarter than others; one party
may gull another party; hut that will
not prevent any, even tho most ob
tuse, from thinking on what has been
done and on what may bo done. And
so people will think on tho doings of
the first of May. It is to bo feared
that their cogitations will not all lead
to tho satno result; for. as before, so
now, some will bo for Paul, some for
A polios, and some for Cephas. One
party is of the opinion that tho vcry
best man was elected ; others affirm
that tho best man was nearly elected ;
while a few, at least, think that the
best man was left far in the rear. Pe
this as it may, we acquiesce in the
decision of our masters, with great
chccrl'ulnovs. "There is a balm for
every wound, a cordial for every fear."
Tho one may thank his stars that ho
was elected to that important position.
Tho other may congratulate himself
upon the respectable veto ho received.
and tho good opiiiioh entertained of.
mm oy ins numerous mends. J ho
third may consolo himself with the
reflection that if there had been an
other ballot, the result would perhaps
havo been different. And the fourth
mav consider himself lucky in havir.tr
effected a safe retreat. Whether the1
contest is over, wo know not. Certain
it is, that the writer has no disposition
to prolong it. It is to be hoped that j
nil parties will try to feel satisfied
with the choice of the convention, and
that tho newly-elected superintendent,
after ho is fully commissioned by State
authority, will go forth in the prompt
dischargo of his duties, and prove
himselt worthy of the confidence re
posed in him. It he is the right kind
of a man, he will meet with friends tUl
over this extensivo county. If he
POL'loctj his duties, wo will remind
him of them occasionally. Hereto
fore our great timidity and extreme
modesty havo deterred us from even
alluding to our grievances in public,
and we havo patiently submitted to
what wo considered great neglect.
We, in this distant township, consider
ourselves as important as any people
in tho county, those in the centre not
excepted. We iove tho cause of edu'
cation ; as a proof of which wo appeal
to our school-houses, our schools, and
our children, and challengo a compari
son of these with any rural district.
Wo cheerfully pa) our taxes, State
nd county, us all good citizens arc
bound to do. And we consider, there
fore, that there is no good reason why
we should not be treated as well as
our neighbors aro. Let the County
Suporihtaiidont oomo up livro, und
perform the legitimate duties of his
office among us, us ho does in the
centre of tho county, and he will find
us all frieudly. The directors, the
teuchers, tho children, and the citi
zens generally, will bo pleased to see
him; and tho more so as they have
never yet seen a superintendeiitol
common schools itt this region ol
country. But if he continues to mete
out to us tho treatment to which we
have been accustomed for three or
four years past, we will all bo down
on htm tremendously. Of this wo
fjive him timely notice, and hope that
ie will take tho well meant hint.
Our best wishes go with tho retiring
superintendent. That ho is a man of
fine abilities no one doubts. As such
ho will never luck tor positions ol
usefulness and profit. In tho Jinfts
man's Journal, of last week, there ap
peared an article against him, in which
there is an allusion to Gulich town
ship. I hone bo will believe mo when
'I assert that said article did not, so
fur as known, emanute from any per
son in this district. While one or the
lato candidates bailed from this qnar
iter, he is not conscious of having done
anything dishonorable in Booking that
'oQe! and be bears bis defeat with a
TEEMS:
NEW
good grace, thankful that tho prospect
of tho hardest winter of his life, if tho
next winter had found him in that
office, is past and gone; for ho had
matlo up fiia miud to work, and to re
view tho languishing cause of educa
tion. If the successful candidato does
what the defeated candidato intended
to do, our schools will faro better.
A. E. II.
A Political General's Soliloquy.
.. Whir-r-r ! . . ... ......
How like a rocket I went up, terri
fying the innocent.
Spat t
IIow like a stick falling in the mud
did I come down.
AYhen the late rebellion began, I
did not amount to enough to add up
and give one to carry I was a sort
of second-rate loafer, begging tobacco,
standiniraround saloons and barrooms,
waiting to be treated by liberal stran
gers. I had no clean ttockings no
neat home no money saved no cred
it no fine food, and but little coarse
"3ut suddenly a star arose !" Brave
men were wanted. I had peddled
whiskey at the polls to elect men on
tho God-and-moralty, retrenchment-and-reform
ticket I could tell a big
ger lio and stick to it closer than any
hungry politician in the country, and
tho late administration noble admin
istration gavo me rich reward. I was
mado a captain, and like a blue-tailed
bottle fly, I strutted about my native
town.
Guess I wasn't old style, in white
gloves and stripes up my legs. Guess
I didn't support tho government.
Reckon I didn't get trusted to little
things at stores, and when a man
wouldn't trust me, guess I wouldn't in
cite mobs on such Copperheads. And
I was put in command of a hundred
men. Egad 1 that was a joko. Why.
Lord bless you, I didn't know as much
about war asa dog knows of his grand
father but I had political influence
could absorb va6t quantities of whis
key and could 6teal a nigger! Or
liko John Drown. Or like Ben. Butler.
Or liko any other house robber.
And 1 went to war. And I hired
correspondents to mention my brave
exploits in Republican papers. And
I stolo wines from hospitals, and treat
ed my friends. And I read the army let
ters which 1 lured written, and which
poor fools printed to political friends
And I kept out of tho way of bullets
nnd such and I stole piles of house
hold goods, from rat traps to puinoes
from silk elastic to linen Intended for
infants j-et unborn, and so in the
ej es of the late administration proved
ni)' fitness for higher position.
And I was made brigadier-general.
Big thing. Nesrly every fool in the
army was a brigadier general. While!
brave men fought, I stolo spoons and
such. While other men were at war,
I was punishing Democrats, issuing
petty orders, "iaki ng toil" from Un
ion farmers, and sending chairs, tables,
beds and bedding, pictures, books,
spoons, knivei and forks,ntit crackers,
glass and silver-ware, mirrors, side
boards, parlor ornaments, laces, silks
and ladies' underclothes stolen from
private drawers, trunks, and bureaus,
up North at government expense, to
let people know that I was saving my
salary to beautify my homo.
Cunning cuss f
And I denounced Democrats, there
by winning promotion und good opin
ions from Republican papers. And I
spent my salary for whiskey, except
w hat went for , nothing now, not
much at first ! And I went on raids,
capturing imaginary bands of enemies
reported by the papers as real. And
being an unscrupulous knave, intent
onlr on moncr, I wss hirod by tho
administration of the lato lamented to
go up and down the land stumping
for and in behalf of niggers and Abol
itionists. far mlile fratum.
And I sent Democrats to the front,
and they were shot down liko dogs or
drugged buck wounded to dio in hos
pitals.or swear allegiance to Abraham.
And I sttilTc'd election returns, a. id 1
stolo cotton wherever it could bo
found, mules ditto, corn ditto, gov
eminent stores ditto, and othor things
dit',0. till I bocame rich. Ami what a
lot of men there were who believed wo
were fighting to subdue tho rebellion.
'Twas merely a ploasant littlo murder
ous crusado for cotton and niggers
tho cot ton for tho rich, tho niggers for
the poor tux payers to support.
Tho war was a Godsend to mo.
It took mo from the gutter, or a stool
in some saloon, and made a great man
of me. It lifted me by the wuistbands
right up alongside of great men. And
didn't I shut 7 And didn't 1 fall back
upon my dignity f And Uidu't I snub
those whoso servant I was and win
tho contempt of every sensiblo man
in the land. And didn't nigger wench
es fall in love with me, und didn't I
keep abandoned women at headquar
ters on money I stole from my bleed

ing country ? To bo sure I did. That
was the acme of "loyalty." That was
known as Lincoln patriotism. That
was tho stylo lhat paid. That stylod
me popular with the Abolitionists at
home. And didn't I drive Southern
roosters lrom watching the nest, and
did'nt I go into that business for them?
And didn't I go into the patent bleach
ing business on joint account, half frr
myself and half for tho"gorerI,m-ent?
There were some good men in the
a rmy-.ome fi ne offi cers s o rn o gen tie
manly, patriotic oflicers, but they
were in hard luck, and took lower
seats. And didn't I got promoted '
for being caught out nights, roam
ing over the country poaching on
some nigger or white man's domain,
in behalf of my government ?
And wasn't I sorry when we had
stolen the South poor,and were obliged
to close the war? Tho occupation
of Othello was gone. I returned homo.
People did not make speeches and
welcome me back as they did when I
left. I strutted around with my blue
tailed plumage till it looked slumpy,
and tho people began to takoin cloth
cs from the lines in my neighborhood,
when it became known that I was a
political generul, whoso best holt was
stealing and endorsing Abolitionism.
No ono cares for me now. A gocd
hunting dog is more petted. A buck
nigger is of more account in the eyes
of Congress and the people. Peoplo
whisper strango things about that
Stonewall Jackson song of "Whose

Exposing each other's Rascality How
the Government has been Robbed.
Tho terrific fight now going on in
the Republican disunion ranks is un
earthing many secrets. In their as
saulls upon each other these political
gamblers prove to the satisfaction of
everybody that a more incorrigible
sot of swindlers and knaves never had
existence outside tho dominions of tho
Prince of Darkness. A few daj's ago,
Mr. Conkling, disunion member of
Congress from New York, held up
Provost Marshal General Fry as tho
greatest swindler this country ever
produced, and with dates and figures,
proved that ho had charged the Gov
ernment with bounty for tens of thou
sands of men who had never been put
into tho arm). According to Conk
ling's showing, this man Pry fleeced
tho Government to the tuno often or
twelve million dollars !
Fry replies to Conkling, in ft letter
to a friend, and in doing so alleges
lhat Conkling is in a bad humor bo
causo bo (Fry) would not permit him
to steal as inuo'i as he desired; that
ho (Conkling) did steal some two
hundred thousand dollars, when ho
was stopped by Fry, who considered
that the New York Congressman had
I his full share of plunder. It is quito
; evident, judging by tho statements of
Fry and Conkling, that both beeumo
j immensely wealthy very suddenly.
They had helped themselves liln'rally
j to tho peoples money, and nil in tho
numo of "loyalty. Altogether tho
quarrel between theso two "loyal"
gentlemen is rich, rare and interesting.
Thoso who bellowed loudest lor
"loyalty" and who were over ready to
denounco all men as "traitors" who
refused to worship Abraham Lincoln
and to speak of him as "the Govern
ment," were tho very fellows who
were jielping themselves liberally from
Uncle Sam's money bags. Exchange.
