General Grant appears to take a great interest now in exonerating Fitz John - Porter from the charge under which he basEO Ions suffered. An article in the North American Itcrtew states afresh Grant's present views upon the case, which are just the opposite of those be maintained when lie had the power in official station to remedy the wrong done General Porter. Grant confesses that while he was general and president he considered Porter guilty. He did not understand the c;ise ; and this though tho facts that he now appreciates were then open to him. It is a confession of violent prejudice and of a failure of any desire to overcome it. It is a humiliating admission to make, and shows the stubborn adherence to his impres3ious which was Grant's great failing in office. His present recantation also shows that when his prejudices are sufficiently subdued to enable him to examine and understand the merit of an issue, he has the courage and honesty to admit that he was wrong and a generosity which impels him to strive to undo tho injury he has done, so far as possible. His course in this mat ter fairly illustrates the perfections and imperfections of Grant's character, and while it shows clearly enough that he is not cut out to be an unbiased judge or a just administrator, he has qualities which make him an estimable man. ffesesty In Politics. The Democratic governor of Delaware has given to the Republican candidate for sheriff in Wilmington the commis sion which he won by a majority of nine votes ; and it was a very proper thing for the governor to do. The commission was to be given upon the face of the re turns, the question of the honesty of the election not being up for consideration. The dispute as to that must be settled in the courts. The Democratic candi date contends that he was fairly elected, and if so, he can show it and get the of fice ; but he could not ask the governor to give it to him when there appeared to be a majority for his opponent. The Democratic officers who have been placed in power by the late political revolution will long maintain the ascen dency of the party if they will act ashes the governor of Delaware in this case, in strict conformity to the law, no matter which gains or loses by it at the time. The governing power is sure to suffer in the end by the abuse of its authority. It was this which brought the Republi can administration of the country to grief. Generally it was ready to adopt any means Lo secure a temporary advan tage. In the great oontest for the pres idency between Tilden -and nayes, the Republican leaders apparently won the game ; but in reality they lost it. Their lawlessness brought them fruit that has turned to ashes on their lips. The re sult of their conduct has given politi cians a lesson which they should never forget. It proves anew the declaration that honesty is the best policy, and that it applies in politics as well as in trade. m Judge McLean, of Gettysburg, took occasion in his first charge to the grand jury after the election to point out with special emphasis tho prevailing tendency to immorality and corruption in connec tion with politics. He particularly charged the Adams county inquest that inasmuch as " tho air has been charged with rumors and assertions that in the campaign that recently terminated in this county, money has been freely used for purchasing votes for a candidate for senator " they should make diligent in quiry into the grounds for these allega tions, so that tho guilty be punished or the good fame of the community be vin dicated. This is refreshing talk from the right place. It would have been to the credit of the Lancaster county judges if they had long ere this taken cognizance of the annual " carnival of fraud" which marks the primaries of their party and mildews the purity of the general elections with the baneful influence of these yearly debauches. So Mr. Hosier, the friend of Blaine, who was beaten in Adams and Cumber land, will contest ! Wo thought sc. The desperate and unfounded claims of the Press that he was elected havo been kept up to justify this contest. Blaine wants Bosler in the Pennsylvania state Senate. He has money, pluck and en ergy. These were all invoked to an un precedented extent to win his election, but.despite them and the disorganization of the party in the district, Capt. Wag ner won the fight and is entitled to his seat. The superior resources of Bosler to carry on a contest must not be allowed to prevail against the right. Capt. Wagner enlisted the interest and sym pathy of all his party in the state iu his gallant battle against the confederated bosses, and he may bo assured of tho hearty support of the entire Pennsylva nia Democracy iu the desperate contest which will be directed against his main tenance of the place ho has fairly won. We find that the demand for a modest inauguration, conducted without pomp or expense to the state, meets with a ro sponsive popular approval. Our con temporaries generally endorse the idea, and many private letters received give it hearty commendation. Let the press and people speak out with like unanimity for the abolition of all useless offices at Harrisburg and in the service of the Legislature. The newly-elected Democratic mem bers of the House are in for a term of two years. If they follow in the iniqui tous ways of their corrupt Republican predecessors their days, and the suprein acy of their party in the state, will bo brief. If they act wisely and Ion off abuses they can stay in " during life, or good behavior." When political loafers draw $900 a year from the state and hire a dummy to do their work for STo, it is not a ques tion who shall get thi3 " soft snap " but how quickly the Democratic House shall abolish such sinecures. Oxe of the interesting questions of the day seems to be whether that financial scarecrow. Jay Gould, is to be a prince or a beggar. It depends, perhaps, upon how long ho lives. The rule is that men who follow his line of business sooner or later go to pieces. Gould, however, has developed notable staying power, and as he is sober, economical and care ful, the chances seem to be that he wiil die with his millions about him if he does not ride in the financial billows too long and until his mental vigor begins to fail him. There is a fascination about speculative occupations which makes it difficult to drop them when they have achieved the fortune that they are used to seek. If Mr. Gould was wise enough he would hurry up tho building cf that yacht-of bis and take himself away from his present haunts. He is a pirate now ; and it would be a healthy change to turn himself into an innocent sea captain. " Wno shall be paster and folder ?" There need be no pasters and folders. Root out the abuse. The Democratio turkey is fat for Thanksgiving. The statistics fiend has been turned loose to gather up election expenses. Mb. Brosius ran ahead in every county in the state. Examiner. No, he didn't. John Wanamaker opens his fall cam paign. Brosius has closed his. The way for the Democrats to be sue cessfal is for them to show that they do served success. The Greenback vote is 22,382. Did Quay " foot tho bill. " If bo he got small return for his money, seeing that most of this vote camo from Republican counties. Since Grant has ro-opoued tho defcuso of Fitz John Porter tho public may expect to witness a fiery onslaught on the mother tongue by Black Jack Logan. As a prefatory step to hia contest for Captain Wagner's place, Bosler should at once begin to send cook books to the wives of the state senators who are tho sole judges of the qualifications of tbeir col leagues. The Baltimoro Sun, in a new suit of clothes, onlarged columns and generally improved facilities, indulges in a little self-gratulation that will be cordially re sponded to by all who value enterprising and progressive journalism. The Sun is one of the able newspapers of tho country, edited with judgment and literary skill, and an omnivorous though none tbo less accurate newsgatherer, PERSONAL. Mu.

H. M. north, esq., Kecommendcil For Attorney General. MilMintown Eegister. We notico in tho columns of the Phila delphia Times, and other leading periodi cals of the state, a number of names men tioned in connection with tho attorney generalship of this commonwealth under tho administration ot Governor-elect Pat tisou. A number of years ago ono of tho sons of Juniata left the homo of his nativi ty and located himself in the county of .Lancaster, indefatigable industry and brilliant mental powers soon placed him in the front ranks of his profession, and to-day Hon. Hugh M. North is known throughout this commonwealth as a gen tleman of the ripest culture, varied ac quirements and a citizen of sterling in tegrity. Ho would be a law officer pos sessing the learning, tho skill, the firmness and the integrity to enable him to discharge tho duties of the office with efficiency and fidelity. I would be a well merited compliment to Mr. Hensel, whose skill and energy contributed so much to the success of the campaign which has closed, and also to the county of Lancas ter, which has always battled so gallantly for the principles of Democracy. We trust that the very meritorious claims of Mr. North as an eminent jurist will be carefully considered, and that Juniata will see her distinguished son discharging the duties of law officer of this common wealth. The Shown or lbanon County on Trial On the 9th of April last Book and Rauch, two notorious safe burglars, es caped from tho Lebanon county Jail after having been brought from Kansas on a requisition. On Thursday Sheriff Croll was placed on trial charged with gross carelessness in the conduct of his office, thereby enabling tho prisoners to escape. The jury reported that they were unable to agree, but the judge refused to discharge them, and informed them that they must agree upon a verdict. - m The SnUlvan-Alien Match. At the close of a boxine match at Harrv Hill's at Now York last evening Hill read a telegram from Johu L. Sullivan, in Philadelphia, in which Sullivan said that he would meet Richard E.

Barbaroo Treatment of Two Uttle Children A Yuunc Woman Searchlnc for Her HucuanaFaalsulns a Olga. xnlft. John Eberthal was held to tho criminal court in Chicago under $500 bonds for cruelty to his children. The story of tho man's barbarous treatment of his wife and children was retGld by several of his neighbors. Mrs. Annie Dixias, who lives in the same houso with tho Eberthal family, related that she had once seen the prisoner tie his two little sons, ono nine and the other eleven years old, back to back by the arras with a clothes line; so tightly that tbeir arms were swoolcn to twice their natural sizs. He also tied up a leg of each one, and then made them crawl up and down stairs for his amuse ment, by beating them with a ropo's end. This torture lasted for four hours. After the boys were unbound, one of them r:n away and stayed two days. On his return the inhuman father chased him up an alley and fired a shot at him from a revolver, the bullet going within a few inches of his body. Tho mother, a frail, frightened creature, had the courage only to mom out a few words about her wrongs to the justice, but did not daro to look at her terrible husband. Another witness testified to many cruelties ho had seen tho man inflict upon bis children. The two little boys sat in the back part of tho court room during tho examination, cowering and sobbing with fright at tho Bight of their father. Justico Kauffman advised the prisoner to get a position in a menagerie of wild beasts when he got out of the penitentiary. He also declared that is was a marvelous thing that tho neigh bors had allowed tho atrocities to ho com mitted in their midst so long by tho brutal husband and father. SKAKCHING FOR UEK IIUSItANO. A Iattla Philadelphia Woinau'4 Fruitions Mission to New Tori:. Mrs. Catharine Mills, a pretty littio woman from Philadelphia, with a baby, after spending tho night iu tbo streets in fruitless search for her husband, asked Justico Bixby, at tho Jefferson Market police court in Now York, to commit her to the almshouse. While waiting his de cision, her baby gavo such piteous cries that the justice's sympathy was aroused. She said that she would liko to bo com mitted as a poor person. She could not part with her baby. "I camo all tho way from Philadelphia to find ray husband. I havo walked up and down tho streets and have not seen him. IIo left mo in Phila delphia six weeks ago. Our baby is six months old. My husband was kind to me when wo first married. Ho turned to drink, and his employer turned him out of employment. Then ho came to this city, I think, to find othor employ ment. God only knows where he is now. I'm tired and hungry. Tho baby is hun gry, too. I've eaten nothing since yester day morning." Justico Bixby said, " Take this woman and child and get tham something to cat." Turning to the mother ho said, "I'm going to send you back to Philadelphia. They'll havo to support you. MrrBlacke. of Third ave nue, superintendent of outdoor poor, wi'l do that for mo." Later Mr. Bluka sent Mrs. Mills and her child back to Philadel phia after she had enjoyed a gcod dinner. The baby wr.3 not forgotten. Justice Bixby clipped $5 into the unhappy woman's hand before i,ho left the court. I-XCIT1NU RACE. An Engineer's ltlile for Life Down a Moun tain Urade.

TUUUJJDAV3 INTEKKiTINU SESSION. Infttractlvo Jtemarka ou the Character and Life or l'enn Fror. llueurlo ou tbo TJtes of the Chart In Schools. Tliunday afternoon. Tho court room was packed to the wail3 with the largest crowd that has thus far visited tho insti tute. Standing room was at a premium, and the aisles wero thronged during tbo whole three hours' session with an eager, attentive audience. The exercises opened with a vocal gem, " Lat Others Dioara," very effectively rendered by tho full chorus. Prof. Buehrlo next delivered a very in structive address on tho uses of tbo chart in schools, explaining its convenience as well as utility. Tho charts of different portions of this and other counties were shown and commented upon. The histor ical chart comes in for a large share of attention, its varying colors representing tho different epochs through which the individual nation has parsed. The showing of a chronological and constitutional map of tho United States concluded the ex hibition. Prof. Shaub stated that those desiring information about outline maps should call upon him at their earliest; convenience. In a few prefatory remarks to tho essays ou Wm. Penn he spoko of the necessity of stimulating a lovo of patriotism, which would .shine forth in tho rising generation. He regretted that complaint was mado in somo portions cf th- county at tho closing of the hciiools on tho day that Garliolil was buried, and, s;irliest of all, this com plaint comes not fioai Democratic school districts. William M. Way, a member of tho in stituto itoin Fultoa township, and a minister of tiia Society of Friends, was then introduced, mid read a vary thought ful and scholarly essay on tho life aud inilueucc ot William Penn. He said that if wo wished to gaiu a true insight into the character of the illustrious founder of our commonwealth, it would bo necessary to go back in imagination to tbo times of two centuries ao. Tho speaker thon re counted in dotail tho mora important in cidents of his early life, and traced their influence iu lii- after c.tieer. IIo spoke of the religious to!e:ation which it had ever been his loudest desire to establish, and dwidt on the fact that tho broad principles of Christianity had been tho foundation of tho new colony. The biography of tho great Quaker was" clear cut and gra phic, aud was read in easy natural Btyle. la conclusion tho speaker ventured the prophecy that for long years to come the sun iu his daily apparent course would look down on no more prosperous people than those who inhabited tho state founded by Penn. Ricbaid Darlington, of West Chester, was next introduced. Ou account of tho important nature of the subject of his re marks, he btated that he had reduced his thoughts to writing. Tuo founders and defenders of a commonwealth have ever been crowned with tho highest honors. Rome never forgot Quirinus, nor Athens her Theseus. And it w justly proper that this should be as it is. The story of Penn has no parallel iu reeoided history. Be fore his timo all the gieat founders, whose deeds fill tbo pages of history, wero sol diers. His lilo may ba conveniently divided into three parts. First, his youth and education. Second, his conversion and ministry. Third, bis civil and politi cal life. As an evidence of the far-seeing wisdom of Penu, his constitution may b compared with that formulated by John Locke for South Caioliua. The theory of u democracy and a monarchy are hero littiugly contrasted. Gnciousto a fault, broadly Chrixtiau in his views, ho has lelt the mpress of his life on the f tato than ho founded. And wo his children should ever cherish his memory with tender solicitude, so that tho reiuimibraucu of his life work may never ba obliterated from the hearts of all truo sous of Pennsylvania. Music" Brightly." In response to Prof. Shaub's call for fur ther remarks from any ono pivsonr, Ezra L.iiuboru, a groy haired teacher of East Lampeter, arose 'to combat tho ccusuro that IVim bad received for selling liquor to tho Indians, lie did not, admit tho truth of the chargp, but even granting that it might bo tbo case, philiuthropists of 200 years ago are not to bo judged by tho modern standard. Prof. J. P. McCaskey, on boiug called upon, professed his inability to conn with tho subject on such short uotico. Ho spoke of tho ' peerless Pennsylvauian" as ono whoso work had been more far reachiug in its effects than that of any other man during tho past 200 years. He also read somo strong passages, laudatory of Penn, from letters written by tho pouts Teunyson aud Whittier on tho occasion of tho meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical socioty on November 8th. tho real date of Pcnn's landing. Mr. McCaskey concluded his incisive remarks with tho claim that tha "reat founder had lived and thought- centuries in advance of his contempora ries. When Dr. J. 1'. Wickersham aroso ho was greeted with appl ms1, and ho began with the remark that hu was not a horo worshipper, nor did he believo iu human perfectibility in this world. Penn had his weaknesses, but taking him all in all bo was head aud shoulders above all tho rest of tho colonist who bottled this country. Tho speaker claimed that tho assertion of religious tolcranco iu Maryland uudcr tho Calvcrts was incorrect, but gave no facts in support of tho allegation. Tho public school system and an ideal Christiau com munity wero also clearly foreshadowed in Penn's constitution. Prof. Shaub then read a letter allogcd to have bscn found in the archives of tho Massachusetts Historical society, and written by a contemporary enemy of Penn. Immediately after denouncing tho spirit that would prompt such a production, Prof." Buehrlo took a baud in tho discus sion exposing tbo letter as a deception, as tho society in question denied ever having heard of it. Dr. Brooks, of the Miltoraville Normal isckool, then stated that tho spirit im pelled him to state that Now England people wero not so intolerant and narrow minded as sometimes granted. He felt called upou to treat with coutempt tho proprietors of somo New York metropoli tan journals who had been endeavoring to belittle tho Bi-Ccntennial. Georgo E. Little, professor of drawing, then gavo some rapid etchings with his usual skill. They wero highly appreciated by the audienco and won well deserved applause. Prof. W. B. Hall sang a beautiful tenor solo, "When tho Hay was Mown.Maggie" which elicited many and prolonged plaud its. Prof. Brown rounded off tho afternoon's exercises with a few general remarks on tho utility of tho study of elocution. Dr. Medley' Lecture. Thursday Evening Tbo evening lecture was by Rev. Dr. James Hedley, of Roch ester, N. Y., whose subject was "Tho Sunny Sido of Life," having been changed from "Tho Kingdom of tho Heart," which was originally announced.. The opera house was again crowded. Mr. L. A. Prezinger sang "Fearless," a beautiful composition which admirably r.uited his rich baritono voice ; he was abundantly rewarded with applauso. Dr. Hedley was then introduced and spoke for au hour and a half. His lecture was filled with sunshine from bs ginning to end and wont to show that all happiness is in the individual and not about him. The gospel cf laughter was prrncbed aud declared to bo a sure pre v of Time, insanity and kindred evils. Dr. Hedley related a number of amusing incidents by way of illustration, and his humorous sallies never failed to ovoko laughter aud applause, while at times tho beauty of diction and pictnr csquo word-paiutiug that adorned bis dis course engaged tho nipt attention of his largo audience. It was altogether a pleas ing entertainment. Friday morning. Prayer was offered by J. H. Witmer, of Mountvillo, aud the entire audience theu sang tho beautiful hymn " Whilo tho Morning Bells Aro Ringing." Prof. Shaub stated that he had received a request for light upon tho merits and demerits of tbo methods of teaching the infinitive, participle andprououu " what." Mr. Lemau, of East Mauheim, explained tho difficulty ho had mot with, but theic seemed to be uo further disposition to discuss the knotty problem. l'ror. tSall'.et ou Vulture of tho Fceliu;;. Prof. Balliet in tho boginniug of his re marks recapitulated tho strong points of what ho had said on Thurs day in his lecture on tho culture of the feelings. He said Anther that moral teaching must be positive, that tho child must be told what to do, not what to avoid. As tho child's intellect is not fully developed, so their moral natures are de ficient. Wc must not expect tho strong character in the child that wo should look for in the grown man. A temptation re sisted strengthens tho moral character. But if boys and girls can not withstand the temptation, do not put beforo them that which may be a severe straiu ou their moral natures. Tho speaker next called attention to tho inutility of cautioning children agaiust offences of which they would not otherwiso be guilty. We should not place before the eyes of youug pupils that which may suggest vice. The personal character of tho teacher came in for a good share of tho speaker's remarks. Education is tho result of con tact of personality with personality. Just as in the physical world tho momentum of a body depends on its weight and velocity, so it is in tho moral world. Every method of education takes its strength from tho power behind it. As Josh Billings said, if wo would propeily bring up our children in the way they should go, wo should occa sionally travel that road ourselves. Our manner of teaching also has much to do with the reception of the leasons iu the mind of tbo pupil. Teacher are not re sponsible for the after-conduct of their scholars, if they use all the opportunities given them of inculcating morality. It is j impossible tuat a gooa mnueucu can ue nsr. Prof. Balliet closed with an iuviuti jj to all the teachers and directors pivMsut, to attend the meeting of the teachers of tho state in the early part cf July nest; :t Glen Onoko. near Mauch Chunk. Music" Beuiak Land' Col. Parker on Teaching LUtlo UhMdreu- Col. F Parker, of Boston, opened with the assertion that all teachers should learn tho arc of instructing little children. His method of teaching children is very sim ple, for all high art is necessarily simple. The first thing to bo done is to make the child feel that he is loved by the teacher. Let tho little children bo divided off into croups so as to get at the individual child. The work of tho Kiudergartcu might be carried on to advantage iu the higher pri mary schools. Learning to read is learning a written vocabulary of words but reading is getting thunghu by means of words arranged iu sentences. The form presenting th thought is the energizing posrer of all pictures. The child icighr aho bo taught to write iuthe air, before putting tho words on the blackboard. Another principle to be insisted upon is tho necessity of i:.eu! iiing the doctrine of work on tho mind of tho pupil. Children should always havo something to occupy their minds. After words aro thoroughly 'earned, sentences should bo taught. The successful teacher is ho that cau concen trate the energy of tho child's mind on tho words picsontcd. Music4' The Rosy Crown." l'rof. Itrown Continues. It has already been said that m.iu speaks from three centres, tho mental, moral and vital. The child in its sensibilities typifies tho race, and is inevitably to speak tho language of the vital and the moral. Con nected with tho language of tho vital comes tho perceptions. What is called the moral finds its outward manifestation iu tho affections. Gesture :s also tho out giowth of the moral centre. When man cau put tho forces of tho mental and moral into tho vital, if under real or sup posed oppression, they need not be feared. IIo exemplified tho latter remark with tho comparison of tho cxistim: dif ference between Communism in the United States aud Nihilism iu Russia. Ho characterized most of tho modern oratory as degenorato, and mado a very unllattering comparison between tho lecturo ou Wednesday eveuiug and somo of tho others delivered during instituto week. Tho latter in somo cases degraded a sacred profession by practising tho vilest buffoonery for tho solo purpose of creating a laugh. He spoko iu very severe terms and his re marks, judging from the applauso that rogclcd their conclusion, seemed to find high favor with the audience. Music "Tho Miller'a Daughter." The Secret of Teaching;. Col. Parker, in resuming, said that he would be pleased to answer any questions propounded. Method, ho said, is the adaptation of tho subject to tho mind that is learning. Tho speaker asserted that ho had no method, ho simply investigated to find what he believed right and then fol low out tho lino of action fearlessly. Tho secret of all teaching is tho energizing of the thought through tho form presented. Never let a child give a thought until it :ots it, for thought controls expression. Thoro is no greater mistake in teachiug children thau that which requires the littio pupil simply to imitato and repeat sen tences after tho teacher. Reading is uot simply tho pronunciation of words, but tho getting of thoughts. After the child is familiar with tho simple sentences writ ten on tho blackboard, stories may bo framed from tho words with which tho children aro most conversant. The transition from script to print may be easily made by familiarizing tho pupils with some set sentences in script,and thon suddonly placing boforo them tho same sentences in print. Tho speaker claimed that they will read tho latter on sight. Every child in tho primary schools can bo mado to write well in ono year if properly taught. Teachers should train thorn selves in technical skill, as itr. importance cannot bo overestimated. And the 1'ollUclanH Cain? Also. In tho Masonic party at tho Steveus house is Hon. Sam' I B.
