FRIDAY EVENING NOV. 17. 1883,
Greatly to Mis Credit.
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.

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.

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

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.

She said that she would liko to bo com

I'm tired and hungry. Tho baby is hun

TEACHEES' INSTITUTE.
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.

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.

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.
