    place of meeti ng.
Resolved, That the names of such teach
ers as have wilfdlly neglected this golden
opportnnitY after receiving proper en
couragement from the board of directors
employing them are no longer worthy of
a place on the roll of teachers.
Resolved, That such teachers as have
convened-here have been highly benefit
ted by so doing, that now promptings and
new-incentives have been given us to ex
cel in our profession that we shall contin
ue. to reap benefits from this meeting
through alt our after labors, and that we
are a body . more firmly determined than
ever to so inform ourselves and thereby
elevate and ennoble our work that teach
ing shall more speedily become a more
honorable profession and more generally
appreciated.
Four critics were appointed ouch ses
sion : the exercises were interspsed with
music. Devotional exercises each mor
ning by the chaplain, and gymnastic exer
cises at the openingof the evening ses
sions, all of which added to the interest.
After a few closing remarks by Prof.
Sanders, Sup't;Watson said : We again
return to our respective . fields of labor, all
feeling.. I trust that we have been very
bountifully compensated for our time and
trouble. Our success hat,„been beyond
our most sanguine expectations and we
only regret that other of our fellow teach
ers could not bare enjoyed the season with
us. That our meeting has been apprecia
ted by those outside the Teachers' Corps
is amply proven by the presence of so
many spectators during our day sessions,
and the crowded house at our evening lec
tures.
Fellow teachers, new incentives, new
feelings and new purposes have been awa
kened. We are laboring to make our
selves better teachers and hope to be
more worthy of public patronage. We
have worked and shall continue to work
earnestly for the highest good of the ri
sing generation that the youth of to day
may become nseful men and women—or
naments to society, and an honor to them
selves and to their country.
To do this, we must put in practice
these thousand and one priceless gems of
wisdom we have here gathered, remem•
bering, that in our every net, thought or
look, whether in or out of the school
room, whether engaged in teaching or oth
erwise, we exert an unseen but powerful
influence upon those around us, which
helps in the formation of their habits and
character. Hour position, as teachers, is
so responsible, how important is it that we
aife truly prepared for our work; that noth
nig but of the highest-tone and refine
ment ever be copied from us. Let us re
member that this life is but the alphabet
to an immortal existence, that every act,
every word and every thought has an in
fleence that lives through eternity.

Susquehanna County Medical Society.
The Medical Society of Susquehanna
County held it, annual meeting at Mon t
rose,on the Bth of January instant. There
were present most of the physicians of
Montrose, and representatives from New
Milford, Gibson, Harford, Hopbottom,
Nicholson and Friendsville. The election
of officers for the ensuing year resulted as
fellows :
President—Dr. C. C. Halsey.
Vice President—Dr. C. C. Edwards.
Secretary—Dr. E. L. Gardner.
treasurer—Dr. W. L. Richardson.
Delegates Lb Penn'a Medical Society at
Harrisburg—Drs. C. C. Edwards and J.
W. Cobb:
Delegates to American Medical Associ
ation at Washington, D. C.—Drs. L. A.
Smith and W. L. Richardson.
Dr. L. A. Smith, the retiring President,
delivered the address prescribed by the
Constitution, taking for his subject, " A
cute Rherimatism,'—wbich was discussed
by him in a manner evincing large experi
ence add research in reference to that
malady; for which a hearty and unani
mous vote of thanks was tendered him by
the Society, and a copy requested for fu
ture reference.
Dr. Halsey on assuming the chair made
no address further than to thank the So
ciety for the honor conferred.
Dr. Edwards, committee on Epidemics,
reported that none had occurred in the
county during the past year.
Dr. Birdsall of Susq'a Depot, committee
on New Remedies, was not present, and
was continued.
Dr. Stiles of Gibson, committee on Epi
lepsy, with special reference to the use of
the bromides of potassium and ammoni
um, delivered an elaborate and scholarly
report, for which a Unanimous vote of
thanks waatendered, and a copy request
.ed for reference.
Drs. W. L' Richardson, L. A. Smith
and A. C. Blakeslee were appointed to
prepare a Sanitary Report to the State
Medical Society,to some one of whom'
each member of the co-Society and regu
lar practitioner is requested to furnish a
statement of his practice during the past
year, as soon as practicable.
At the Clinic there were present pa
tients from Forest Lake, Choconut, Jes
sup and Rush. Some of these cases were
of very rare occurrence and peculiar inter
est.. For all, a satisfactory diagnosis was
made and treatment prescribed, free of
charge as heretofore.
This feature of our Society has already
become one of great importance,both to its
members and to those who choose to avail
themselves of its benefits. It is hoped
that it may bp sustained with increasing
I interest in the future.
It is a source of great regret that many
of the regular practitioners of the county
are not regular attendants at our meet
ings. Some think they cannot afford a
day's time, once ; or twice a year, to meet
with their profeisional brethren for mutu
al improvement. Those of the 'Society
who have for years been regular attend
ants of the meetings consider this a great
mistake. Some are dissatisfied with what
is done in or by the Society, and some af
fect to think that the whole affair does
not amount to mach. From these views
the active ilienibers feel obliged to dissent.
If, however, there is any ground for them,
the practitioners wbo for these reasons
do not officiate with ns, are most cordial.
ly invited to meet with us and show us
our errors, to the end that they may be
corrected.
After a pleasant and harmonious sess
ion, the Society, adjourned to- meet at
New Milford op Wednesday the 3d day
of June next, at Pbinney's Hotel.

Democratic State Convention.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 8, 1808
The Democratio State Committee of
Pennsylvania have fixed WEDNESDAY,
THE FOURTH (4t_h) DAY of MARCH,
1868, at 12 o'clock, M., as the . time, and
the Hall of the House of RepresentativeF
at Harrisburg as the place, for holding
the annual Convention of the party.
It is ordered that this Convention be
composed of one member for each Senator
and Representative, who shall be elected .
in the usual manner; and they will meet, at
the time and place aforesaid, for the pur
pose of nominating- candidates for the of
fice of Auditor General and Surveyor
General, and of selecting delegates to the
National Convention for the nomination
of candidates for President and Nice
President.
The members and committees of the
organization, and all conservative citizens
who can unite with us in the support of
Constitutional principles, are requested to
proceed to the election of the delegates in
their respective districts.
By order of the Democratic State Com
mittee.

THE AGE.—We direct the attention of
our readers to the Prospectus of the Phil
adelphia Age, which appears in our col
umns to-day. :The Age is a first class
Democratic paper, and we recommend it
to those of our friends who desire a city
paper.
Increase of Public Debt.
A comparison of the public debt state
ment on January 1, with that published
on the Ist of December last, shows an in
crease of debt bearing coin interest of
nearly $50,000,000; on the debt bearing
currency interest a decrease of upwards
of $51,000,000; on the matured debt not
presented for payment an increase of $l,-
703,000; on the debt bearing no interest
an increase of $2,327,000. Decrease of
cash in the Treasury, nearly $4,000,000.
Total debt, less cash in the Treasury, in
creased upwards of $7,000,000. It will
be seen, therefore, that not only is the
public debt increasing in actual amount,
but what is worse, the debt upon which
the interest is payable in greenbacks is
being rapidly exchanged for debt upon
which the interest is payable in gold; an
operation that is nearly equal to adding
one half to the actual amount of debt.
There must be a complete change in the
management of public affairs, or the en
tire industry of the country will be eaten
up by taxation to pay debt and interest.
"Model Schools."
Thad. Stevens' bill for establishing a
system of public scgools in the District of
Columbia, is worthy of attention. It is
framed with a design to compel a recog
nition of the social equality of whites and
blacks, and gravely proposes that every
white man who refuses to send at least
one of his children to the schools which
are to be promiscuously filled with the
different races shall be disfranchised. The
words " all men are created equal" are to
be inscribed upon the walls of every
school room, and the doctrine of negro
equality is to be enforced both by pre
cept and example.
As it is announced that this is the in
troduction of a system which will eventu
ally be extended to all the States, the
people should be wide awake on the sub
ject. If the radical party prevails, the
"equality" system will no doubt be forced
upon the country; but if the people over
throw the negro equality party .at the
ballot box, white folks will be allowed to
do as they please about mixing their chil
dren and themselves with blacks in schools
_and elsewhere.
Republican Doctrine.
In 1864, the Radicals, desiring to effect
a change in the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln, a
number of Senators belonging to that
party signed and presented the following
paper to the President : •
" The theory of our government, the
early and uniform practical construction
thereof, is that the President should be
aided by a Cabinet council agreeing with
him in political principle and general poli
cy, and that all important measures and
appointments should be the result of their
combined wisdom and deliberation. This
most obvious and necessary condition of
things, without which no administration
can succeed, we and the public believe
does not exist, and therefore ma selec
tions and changes in its members should
be made as will secure to the country uni
ty of purpose and action in all material
and essential respects."
This was aimed at P. M. Gen. Blair,
and Lincoln at once asked for his resigna
tion, which was given without waiting
for a removal. It was good .Republicaa
doctrine in 1864, that a President should
Uot only select his own Cabinet, bat
ihould appoint only such as agreed with
him on political questions. _
Now, the Republicans, by reinstating
Stanton, not only deny a President the
right to select his cabinet, but force upon
him, in violation of the Constitution, a po
litical opponent who is also a personal en
emy and a spy upon his confidence.
Doings in Congress.
But little business is being transacted
in Congress; most of the time being
spent in mischievous political legislation
designed to overthrow the constitutional
rights of the people, and fasten negro
equality and military despotism upon the
country.
Sumner has introduced a joint resolu
tion declaring that the proposed four
teenth amendment to the Constitution has
become a law. As no amendment, can
become a law until three fourths of the
States shall have ratified it, and as there
are 37 States, 28 are required to ratify.
Only 22 have ratified the amendment, and
two of these—Ohio and New Jersey,
having rescinded their ratification, 8. more
are required, according - to the provisions
of the Constitution.
The main feature of this proposed
amendment is too monstrous to be lightly
passed over. It declares that all persons
born or naturalized in the United States
are citizens of the United States, and of
the State wherein they reside, prohibits
the abridgement of the privileges or im
munities of United States citizens by any
State, and provides fur the equality of all
persons before the law.
The intention of this amendment is to
deprive the States of their inalienable
right to regulate citizenship and suffrage,
and to force negro suffrage and negro
eQuality upon all the States, without even
consulting the people.
Another partisan project which has
passed the House is designed to strip the
Supreme Court of its jurisdiction by pro
viding that adecision rendered by the ma
jority shall bi; null and void if it is not in
harmony with the acts of Congress—or
in other words, that no act of Congress
can be declared unconstitutional unless
by concurrence of two thirds of a full
bench. This shameful scheme amounts to
just this : Two parties appear in court,
the issue turning upon the legality of an
act of Congress, and if a majority of the
court decide in favor of the radical side,
the decision is law, but if a majority de
cide adversely to the radical side, the de
cision is not law Such is radical " jus-
Overcoming Objections.
The bolting Republican members of the
Legislature placed on file their reasons for
not voting for E. W. Davis, the caucus
nominee for Speaker.
The reasons set forth were that the
eight believed that the interests of the
party required a Speaker with the follow
ing qualifications : First. Free from re
sponsible connection with past offensive
legislation of this body; and one whose
life and record declare him to be in favor
of reforming public affairs and retrench
ing expenditures; one who has not been
identified in any way likely to affect his
official position with any corporation of
Pennsylvania that shows a disposition to
monopolize privileges and control legisla
tion by improper influences; one who
would constitute committees so as to
carry into effect the will of the party in
securing the passage of a free railroad
law.
As the former votes, speeches, and af
filiations of Davis showed him not to be
such a man as the above " reasons" re
quired, the bolters pledged themselves not
to vote for him.
But in a few days the " reason" of the
nine bolters was in some unknown man
ner overcome, and they voted for a man
whom they had shown they could not
vote for without dishonor to themselves
and wrong to their constituents.

—A rumor from Washington says that
the Radicals have determined to impeach
the President "upon the first cause for
such proceeding." As the Radicals can
only live by agitation, we don't wonder
at this new struggle for existence. In
the meantime, however, while they are
inanceuvring to keep their party together,
all the industrial interests of the nation
are suffering, business is languishing,
trade and commerce are becoming para-
lyzed, and a general stagnation pervades
the whole country. So will it ever be un
til the people sweep away forever the
Congressional junto who are now doing
all in their power to destroy the Repub
lic.

Convention met on the 14 inst. There

The Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, January 10.
A case involving, in4irectly, the status,
dell the excluded States, and directly
that of the State , of Texas, will be argued
before the Supreme Court of the United
States to morrow, When the northwes
tern boundary of the State of Texas was
fixed, that State was paid by indemnity
bonds of the United States amounting to
several millions of dollars. These bonds
remained in the possession of the 'State
until some time during the progress of
the late rebellion, when the Confederate
state government of Texas sold them to
White, Childs it Co., of Kentucky, and
to other parties in New York and else
where. In the early part of the last year
Mr. R. T. Merrick, of this city, counsel
for the State of Texas made application
for an injunction to prevent the negotia
tion of the bonds thus sold. Tr Is injunc
tion was granted, and now the above
named original purchasers of the bonds
come into court by their counsel, Meisrs.
James M. Carlisle, and, Hughes, Denver,
and Peck, and ask that the injunction be
dissolved, on the ground that Texas is
not a State in the Union, and has no right
to be heard in the Supreme Court as a
State. Messrs. R. J. Brent and—Tay
lor are associated with Mr. Merrick, as
counsel for the State of Texas.

Republican Convention—Payment of
Bonds in Greenbacks.
INDIANArotis, January 12
At the Repulicatt County Convention,
held in this city, on Saturday, the follow
ing resolution was adopted :
Whereas, Equal and exact justice
should rule ac:ion for public as well as
private debtors in dealing with their cred
itors; therefore,
Resolved, That the bonds and other
obligations of the general government,
which do not expressly stipulate for pay
ment in coin on their face, .hould Le paid
in legal money; and that our delegates to
the State Convention are instructed to
vote for a resolution in the State platform
embodying this proposition. Will the
radical press of this State denounce such
action as "copperhead repudiation ?"
Swindlers.
Post-office money orders to the amount,
of $9,991 were sent to Andrews & Co.,
Boston, from the Honesdale post-office
alone during the year 1867: The remit
tances for some time amounted to over
$l,OOO per month.• This is, of course, ex
clusive of the amounts sent in money.and
by express, which we presume would
foot up as much more, to say nothing of
remittances from other offices throughout
the county, or patronage to other gift
concerns. Placing a reasonable estimate
upon all of these, it is not unreasonable to
fix the total drain upon Wayne county, in
cash, during the year which hay just clos
ed, at $25,000 to 00,000.
• For this what have we to show? A lot,
of trashy brass jewelry, worse than worth
less; with a slight per centage Of shoddy
cloth, flimsy dress goods, muslin, etc.,
which our merchants, would find it diffi
cult to dispose of any price in this mar
ket.
Worse than all, this- large amount of
ready money, which should have been ex
pended here at home in the payment of
debts and the purchase of necessary arti•
des of food and clothing for the hard win
ter, has been mainly sent off by the least
„independent class of our Citizens. Dollar
after dollar, which might have been spent
for suitable reading matter for the family
fire-side, has been cast into the gambling
whirlpool, and lost sight of forever.—
Honesdale Herald.
Miscegenation.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligenuer of Tuts
day, says:
"We are told that a dashing bridal
party from Alabama past through this ci
ty on Sunday last. The bridegroom hails
originally from. the North, the bride be
ing one of Alabama's sablest daughters.
On leaving this city they claimed and
took possession of a berth in the sleeping
car, and went on their way rejoicing."
—A Radical sheet says : " The depres
sion in New England throws out of work
at least 100,000 people-10,000 in Maine,
20,00 b-in New Hampshire, 30,000 in Con
necticut and Rhode Island, and 100,000
in Massachusetts." These results are di
rectly due to the blasting effects of the
Rump " policy of reconstruction," the
cotton tax, the immense internal taxation,
the inordinate waste of public money on
partisan schemes, and an inflated curren
cy. The Rump cotton tai, which was
stupidly intended to punish the Southern
cotton planters and provide a plunder
fund for Radical cormorants, has almost
stopped the production of that staple ;
hence 'New England spindles by the mill
ion have stopped for want of raw cotton.
This is but one specimen of the " wise
statesmanship" of radicalism.
—When the radicals talk about Repu
diation, which they do now and then, ra
ther flippantly,. Democrats should remind
them that they are the party of repudia
tion. They commenced the work in 'lBO5,
when the radical Legislature of this State
passed a law to pay the interest on the
State bonds, in paper money, when the
act authorizing the loan made the inter
est payable in coin. The act was approv
ed by Governor Curtin, and became alaw.

—O4 the first day of the present see.
sion of the Legislature of this State, a

commentary upon the radical party. The
