THE LoyiL AWAKING.
Like the. defunct:Courederacy,-:the
Democratic party has several tines
come within sight of the White
House. but as often failed in its cap
ture. It ! is now entrenched in' the
Douse of 'l - te.presentatives, and -has
put ex4ebel officers in command, of
its important offices,- but we Oil&
dently:predict that •the CenteU4ial
campaign will close with the Utter
route of the Democratic party,' and
the repossession by the itepubliCan
party Of every important position
ttrmerly held by them. The , Gov=
ernment was saved by the sacrifices
of its loyal .sons, and its friendslufve
not yet Coneluded *to surrender it to
those Who hitherto favored its de
struction. If Democracy has gained
certain advantages over the Iteptibli
can party the gain was due; not to an
increase of strength on tifeir :part,
but to - the apathy of Republicanss
,
who deemed their party sufficietitly
strong not,to require from themthat
personal attention which' they.; lead
formerly -, given to political affairs.
This error has brought in'its results
a lesson that will not soon be forgot
ten. The last election indicated, the
awaking of . the 'loyal masses. '; The
Prtidential election will indicate
that they are not only awake, lint on.
their - feet to hold and defend: the
Governuient which belotig,s to 'them
by right of services rendered
its .c.xisience was in jeopardy. -

AT A meeting of the Pennsylvania
Association, of Washington, D. C.,
held last week, Capt. TALL of this
county offered the following resolu
tions
WHEREAS, We, the RepubliCap'Asso
elation of the great State of Pennsylvania,
largely composed, ; as we are, of soldiers of
the late war, have heard with feelings of
regret the slanderous falsehoods put forth
in• the House of Representatives of the
United States during the past week by
certain ex-officials of the Confederacy ;
and whereas, we have in many wsys and
on all occasions extended the hand of
friendship and full amnesty to our late
enemies in arms; therefore be it
Resolved, That wo are still anxious to
forget the past, arid look only to the fa
ttwe welfare of our common country ; but
as their political satrap, lion. Mr. Hill, of
Georgia, undertook to cover up his mis
statements by proclaiming that he had no
quarrel with us as soldiers of the late Un
ion army, &c., we take this opportunity
to inform Mr. Hill and his associates that,
as we have stood by our leaders and
statesmen in the past, so we pledge our
sefves to stand by them in the future in
battling against falsehood and treason
wherever we find it ; and be it further
Resolved, That as we have not lust one
jot or tittle of confidence or respect in and
for our worthy President, U. S. Grant, we
hereby renew our pledge of support in the
future, as in the past ; and be it further
Resolved, That as the Opposition news",
papers have frequently asserted that the
Republican party cannot elect to .the
Chief Magistracy of the country any per
son outside of the role of military life; of
showing our conliderice in the intelligence
and stability of the great jnajority of the
American people, and as the lion. J. G.
Maine has showed his executive ability
as a fearless and intrepid statesmen, ever
battling fur the right aud+ crushing trea
son, that we do hereby make known to
the Republican nomi&.ating convention,
which is to meet in Cincinnati in June
next, that the lion.J.G.Blaine, of Maine,
is.our choice for President of the United
States in 1876.
I •LAtRA BRIDeNIAN was' able to at-,
tend the funeral of her benefiwtor,l
Dr. SAMUEL J. HOWE, which took
place in Boston recently. In his will
lie left $2,000, the income 'of which'
is to be applied toward maintaining
• LAURA in an institution for the blind,.
IWhere she has passed her life..
•
" Years ago her case was familiar'
.', to all reading people; and Dickens,'
in hifi first visit to this country, wrote'
an extended sketch of her, which can
he found in his -" American Notes.”
She Icas born in Hanover, N.• 11., in.
' 1829, and is consequently now about)
!'-ri years old. At. the age of two
years she lost, through illness, her
sense of sight, hearing and smell,
!'while that of taste was seriously
paired. Dependent almost entirely
upon touch for her knowledge of the
world around her, her education was.
commenced at the age.of eight at the
Perkins institution for the blind in
' South Boston, under the care of Dr
Howe. With untold patience she was
i first taught the names of objects, to
which process her education was con;
fined for two years; the attempt was
then made to instruct her in their
qualities, and subsequently in their
relatiOns to each other. ',She waS
next taught to write, and acquired
the . rudiments of arithmetic ; took
lessons on the piano; and .is now
a skillful performer; acquired a.
practical knowledge of needlework'
and of sonic household duties. Ideas
of God, of death, and of a future
state have been conveyed to her, and
•
she is sustained by the hope of the
}Christian, that in another life her
physical infirMities will be removed.
Her ease is one of the most remarka
ble on record, and is a standing topic
of discussion by- the metaphysicianS,
who philosophize on the doctrine of
ideas—whether innate, or acquired
Only through the senses."
WE ARE gratified to note that Hob

sis Democratic members of ConoTe

who refused to votelvith • their party

at the State Capital. As early ' s Monday
noon_ ,s'the military and civic organizations
which were to participate in the .teeremo
nies began to arrive, and by Dn'elock in
the eyenipg the city was filled with' strang
ers. ! The hotels and many private rest
dences were profusely decorated with the
national colors. The Lochiel Hotel de
serve!; especial mention in this particular.
Small flags waved from every window,
and the Market-St. front was literally
draped in bunting. • The banner of the,
Hareranft Club . was suspended: in the
street between this hotel and the office Of
the .E'rening Telegraph. This banner is a
magnificent piece of workinanship, being
painted in Oil at a cost of over $1;000. Its
centre-piece is a large equestrian statue
of the Governor.
Oyer 5,000 people were in the proces
sion composed entirely of organizations
--ix litical, military, and firemen. Twen
ty-to bands and eleven drum corps fur
nished the music. This grand; pageant
was witnessed by 20,000 people. . One no
ticeable feature in the procession was a
battle flag, carried by Knapp's!Battery,
of P ittsburgh , which was literally riddled
wit bullets from rebel firearms during
thejlate war. The names of the battles
in Nrhicli this organization had participated
were at;; inscribed upon the flag. A sight
of this kind tends to call up old memories
--Memories of the time when party lines
were closer drawn than now; memories of
the days when Southern Democrats were
.arranged in battle against us, and North
ern Democrats' in sympathy with them ;
of a time when Democracy was a stench
in ,the nostrils of every man who had a
heart that beat in sympathy with the mis
fortunes of his country; of A time when
the Republicans of good' old 1 , Bradford
didn't send men to Congress to vote with
the Ben Hills and Lamars of the South,
in their efforts to bring disgrace . Upon the
fair name of the only party who came
boldly to the front in defense of the Union.

THE SCHOOL - BOOK QUESTION
Ma. EDITOR 7 As the next meeting of I
the Bradford . County Teachers' Associa
tion approaches, considerable anxiety is
tell in various parts of the county in re-
gard to a movement which has been in.J 1
augurated in the Association looking to a
change of text books. I see t,y the report
of the last meeting thatthe Committee to
whom this subject Was referred made a
report, which, I think, was wisely
ferred fur final disposition bi the meeting
next ensuing. To say that the community
were surprised and astonished at the
sweeping and wholesale changes recom 7
mended by this committee, does not ex
press the depth of indignation which I
have ,heard expressed by some of the
warmest friends 'of the common school.
leretofore the discussions and recommeM.
(Idiot's of the Associations have, to say
the least, received respectful,attention
from the friends of education throughout
the county, but this movement is one
which has been generally condemned b'
the most intelligent of our citizens.)
Granted that the books. recommended are '
of equal merit with those which they are
intended to supplant—and this is by, no
means the case,—there are several very,
serious objections to bemade to the pro
:posed change.
The change is uncalled for. There
is no general dissatisfaction expressed
with the books now in use. With per-;
haps the bare exception of History, the
text books now used in : our school's will
compare favorably either as to character,
style, quality or price, with any other
first-class series. If any one will take the
trouble to compare the books recommend
ed
width those now in use,' either as to
their contents, quality of make up Or
price per page, he will find there is noth
ing to be gained by the change in any of
these particulars.
2. it will break up the general uniform- ,
ity which now prevails throughout the
county. In the report of the County Su
perintendent for hesays: "We haVe
an almost entire .uniformity of text books •
throughout the county. This has be,en
effected by the mutual efforts of teachers
and directors, and the benefits derived
from the uniformity for the past few yedrs
have been such that any effort looking
a change would bo generally opposed by
the whole educational form of the county.
Baring a half dozen who have coinmeneed
and carried on this movement, this is as
true today as when it was written ; and
yet a result so desirable, which has Leer
reached only after the labor of seven ,or✓
eight years, the committee propose to east
away and open the door for the whOld
county to be overrun by book agents
button-holing school directors, 'flinging
confusion into our schools, annoying pat
rents, making extra and fruitless labor for
teachers, and entailing an expense, of
thousands of dollars upon parents in the
county. To throw away the work ; of
years for the purpose of gratifying the
whims, to use the mildest word, of a feW
uneasy spirits and would-be leaders in our
educational interests, is the sheerest follyl
This county forms part of a •Noratd
District, and by a wise: and concerted
movement the same books, with very ;un
important exceptions, are used through
out the whole district. The advantage Of
this is readily apparent. especially to Ate
graduates of the Mansfield Normal School.
To make the change proposed puts 'per
county in an anomolons position in rela
tion to the other counties, of the district.
The same influences which suggested ;this
change here have been .at work in other
counties, but the commhjttces to whoni
this question was referred have wisely re
solved to adhere in good faith to the emn
pact which was entered :into some' time
ago by the leading educators of the jdiS
trict, :and that SS - RS, that when changes
were 'thought desirable the whole distribt
shOuld move together. Dm' own Comity
has been the first to make the attempt to
go back on this wise arrangement, an at
tempt which we trust the good setu*3
the Associationwill effectnally squelch; out.
3. The proposed change will entail a
cast and useless expense. There; are
about 15,000 children in attendance Upon
the eammon schools of the county. Reck
on the expense which :this change will
make necessary' at the lowest figures; and
you have the sum of $ . 22,600, which is
equal to one-half of the tax for teachers'
wages for the year. Upon whom doei this
enormous but useless burden fah? Upon
the parents, many - of whom have all! they

of that paper, and in a recent issue
of the Daily Triune we find this
note of alarm." We commend it to
the candid, dispaisionate perusal! of
our readers, and especially those v i ho

TilE following brief : facts speak
volumes in favor of public sentiment
concerning the proposed' 4 appropria
tion of $1,500,900 for the completion
of the 'Centennial buildings. The
Editorial Association Indiana,
numbering two bundrec. were on an
independent- visit to PhiladelPhia,
recently, and after a .. eareful investiga
tion of the present state of affairs in
connection with the national jubilee
they adopted a series orformal reso
lutions asking Congress '".to make the
appropriation prayed fnr, and they
sent copies to Senators NcinToN and
McDoNALD, and to Mr. Speaker
REEK. It is well to note the ,fact
that the association wasjnot there by
invitation, nor was any attempt
whatever made to influence the -ex
pression of this opinion,:and for this
reason it is in high proOf of the pop
ularity of this proposed, appropria
tion among the masses ].Of the people
who are rising up all oierthe• coun
try and instructing their Represen
tatives to vote for it.
