o:3•After the': battle; Of Isfusemburg, a deputy
from.Gustavns delivered a frothy address of some
hours length to the victorious Wallenstein, which
was listened to..:with impatience. "What is the
short meaning of your' long speech?" inquired.
Wallenstein. "It has no short meaning," answer.
ed the`deputy. "Then," said the General, "go and
tell your master, %%hen he next sends me a bushel.
of chaff to be so good as to put a kernel of wheat
in it." So goes the story. .
In.reply to our last "shot;" the "gentleman did
dler" of, the Tcurnat, has spun out nearly two co
lumns of chaffy words without a kernel of wit to
repay us for the patience of reading what he says.
It is all "sound and fury signifying nothing. - -
The only conclusion to which we can come is
that he is endeavoring to raise a cloud of dust, in
which to make his escape. The editor has studied

Dear .Sir:L—As the principles involved the
case tif Smith. vs. the Board of School Directors of
Pitt Zotonekis - Bro,' of 'general..interest, and the
success of the Common School System; in a - mea:
sure, depends on the proper`construction and fulfil
ment of the Laws, the Board of Directors have
instructed us to request, for publication, a copy
of the excellent charge delivered by your Honor
in the above case.
Yours, very respectfully,
E. D. GAZZAM, President
ISAIAH Theirs; Secretary
In compliance with the foregoing request, a co
py of the charge in the case referred to, has been
furnished by Judge Patton :
George Smith,
In the Common Pleas
TS.
The School Directors of No. IGB, June Term,
Pitt Township. JJJ
I &[G.
This was an action brought by the Plaintiff to
recover his salary as a teacher. Ile claimed un-
der an appointment by a sub-cfmmittee. The de
fendants contended that the sub-committ4waspot
lawfully constituted under the Acts of Assembly,
and that the appointment was without % : alidity,
and was never sanctioned- by the Board of Di
lectors.
The Court (Patton, President) charged the Jury
as follows:
The Defrodanea counsel submitted sundry
points, upon which he requested the instruction of
the Court.
1. "Me Board of School Directors for. Pitt
ba..4..the only authority; ciderla*, ,- aider the
forsu ividing the District into -, sr(r.:tliStricts;"
and until Nob-district has been established, and
•
described by known boundaries and limits;.by the
formal action of the Board; no. .!sub-committee"
claiming to represent the voters of such "sub..dis
tiVt,- have any legal right to employ a riacher to
be paid out of the public school fund.
2. 4111 e eigiewral supervisory authority of the
Board of Directors, over their Districts, extends to
and includes s "sub.committees" aPPointed by it
meeting of thetoters in a “suli.district," at 4 no
act of such sub-committee can bind the . Boand. of
Directors against will, Or . wilhout. their ap
proval, either express or implied.
3. The Board of Directors havicoucer to re
model and abolish the "sub-districts —to discon
tinue schools in any part of the district, when
suitable houses cannot be obtained, and to 'apply
the school fund to the purchase of ground and the
erection of sc hool houses, in their discretion, wi . b.
out consulting ••sub-committees," or the voters of
the "sub-districts."
4. It rests s ith the Ilaintiff in this case to
prove that at least four of the signers to the no
tice for a meeting, and all the members of the sub
mittee constituted by its authority , were voices re
siding within the boundaries of the Arthursvitle
-sub-district."
3. A "slid, committee: . acting under the aut'hori•
ty of a meeting of voters in a -ens-district,' can
not legally employ a teacher, unless he shall have
procured a certificate of his qualifications and
good moral character, signed by a majority of the
ae:ing Board of Direcmrs.
Upon these points the Court charged the Jury
in favor of the Defendants, with tome Elight mod.
ificatices.
W he
us there a divisiSn of the -District by the.
Board of Directors into subKlistrictal The law
conternplates that this should be a formal, distinct,
and definite proceeding,. It looks for something
more than the appointment and report of a COM
tnit!te on the subject. It requires the final and
specific action of the Board; and that the lines of
each sub-district should be clearly defined. The
law implies something more than an arrangement
made by the Directors to promote their mutual con.
renience by creating a division of lobar amongst
thcinseli es. It must be done for the specific pur
pose of enabling the' Board to delegate a portion
of their duties to the primary, or sub-committees,l
to be chosen by the voters in the respectile sub•
districts.
In what is called the Arthursville sub-district,
in which the sub-committee in this case claimed
the right to act, there were three or four schools.
If the committee Lad the power to appoint a
teacher and do other acts in regard to one school,
they had the same right in regard to all in the same
j sub-district. But they neither claimed nor exer
cised such authority in reference to any school ex
kept the one in question. If their proceedings
were lawful, this strange state of things would-be
presented—that in the same subdistrict one por
tion of the schools would remain subject to the jut
mediate direction and control of the Board of Di
rectors, and another to the sub committee. The
law never intended this. The 9th sec. of the Act
of Is3o seems to contemplate that there shall he
but one school in a sub-district—that there should i
be but one teacher—and that a sub-committee can
appointone. (See the Act.) But this cstistruction
is not essential to the defence. It rests on other
grounds.
It has been alleged by the Plaintiff that the
Board pursued a high-handed course in refusing to
recognize and admit him asa teacher. That does not
raise a question, which we are called upon to de
cide in this case. They hare been elected by the
people, with a full knowledge of their qualifica
tions, to perform certain public duties. They are
responsible to the people, as well as to the laws;
and if they fail to discharge their functions in a
proper manner, the electors of the District can ap
ply the remedy by chosing others in their stead.
They get no compensation for their services; and
ale supposed to be actuated solely by an honest
desire to perform their duties as good citizens. In
stead of being harrassed with law suits, and use
lessly annoyed in the execution of their trust, they
should be treated with kindness and respect, and
should be strengthened and upheld in the dis
charge of their duties.
Where a portion of the people in a School Dis
trict, or a sub-committee constituted by them, un
dertake to act in opposition to the Board of Direc
!ors, elected by a majority in the District, they
should take care to have the law on their side. It
they fail, in any material particular, to follow its
provisions, the law will not sustain them in their
resistance to the lawfully constituted authorities of
the District. It will be found, in the long run, that
the affairs of the District will be best managed by
the Board of Directors, who are elected by the peo
ple according to law for that purpose.
It seems highly probable that the very object
for which the Ist section of the act of 1840, pro
hibiting the employMent of any man as a teacher,
who has not been examined by the Board, and
procured a certificate,, within the year, was to pre
vent such. controversies, as that disclosed in, the
present case
The - acts of a sub committee can hot be valid,
unless they are grounded upon a clear and specific
delegation of authority by the Board, or done with
their approbation. ilven when a sub-committee
has been'regularly and fawfully constituted, and
has the power to ielecialeaeber,'he act of - 1844
makes the , . selection*dijeetXth e approbation of
the tinard. Apart froth this express prcWision on
The'suliect, there, are 'sutstantiat iixisotui why it
Should be so;' - The .33dard- are reciiiiied to make
payments for the services of the teachers. Tbey
must draw their warrants for thittpUrpose.!Clothed
as they are With a highly iihporfant judiciary of
fice—entrusted by the people with the business of
raising and disbursing annually a large fund for
the great purposes of comnion'School education—
shall they be compelled' to Pay out money against
the sanction of their own consciences? If they
can be compelled to do, what their consciences do
not approve, and thus to violate , their sense of du
ty, we might as well abolish the Board at once,
and transfer all their powers to sub-committees. It
will not do to recognize two conflicting powers on
the same subject and within the same limits. One
or the other must be subordinate; or one or the oth
er must be abolished. The law certainly did not
intend that the Board should , be subject to the au
thority of the sub-committee; even when properly
and lawfully constituted.
Under the ret of '3G the authority to the sub-coin
,
mittee Was'restr ictedlo the r 'Selection of a teacher:
By the,act uf 1538, Sectionlel, their, polvers were
enlarged, so as to make thept extend to all the lo
cal concerna'of the 'sub•cliatett, such' as visiting
the school under their chargi c atili ~ree,quel, repair
ing.thesclioOl house, and aL-pi ECM iniurred by
them in discharging theiYilruiteop Paid„ ,KY
, ,
rn
the Board, -Prorideel, Thatxati4Comittee be
directed by the Board of LI totOo perform the
said duties." - r
It will be seen from thisiprdeiso bow careful the
Legislature_ have been : to rm.rie a contracting
supers ising power in aleßoard of Directors. The
act of I:4G, eec. 1, still i turther manifests their anx
iety and Intention en this subject, when they re.
quire an examination and certificate to teachers
to;te annually renewed. And this examinalioh
ant 4, certifica,te must be by the Board of Direetoft
of the particular District. A 'certificate obtained
from a Board in another District is not a compli
ance with the law. A Board in one District is not
bound, in this respect, by the action an Board in
another.
It may be 'added to the position taken in the
third point, submitted by the Defendant's counsel,
that-, in this•case, solar ,was 'the appointment and
action of . the tub-committee, so called, from recei
ring tllh sanction of the' hoard, hauthey appoint
ed another person as teacher to supertede the Plain
tiff, not from any want of resjiiect for him, for
whom, by their cMinsel, thIF have professed.
throughout this trial, the most respectful senti
ments, but for reasons satisfactory to themselves,
and looking probably to a proper maintenance of
their authority.
When there.has been a regular, intentional, and
lawful division of .a District into sub districts, to
enable the people of each subdistrict to meet and
atwint a , sub committee, who map. choose a teach
er, and do other acts incident to their appointment,
the fact of the Sub division would be more clearly
1 and genet-ally understood, and it is probable that
upon the notice specified in the act there would be
a general attendance of the people of the sub
; district. There would then be no danger of a
Ismail or discontented portion of the citizens car
t rviii* out their own views and miles, at thetx
- *
pence of the interests of a majority.
i Sympathy forta party to a suit must not be at
lowed to interfere with the course of justice : and
the law. If the plaintiff, VATO is a very worthy
man, should fail to recover in this action, it is to
be hailed that those who employed him will be
found.both able and willing to make him a proper
compensation. The man uho follows the honor
able and highly useful occupation of a teacher, is
a laborer eminently worthy of his hire.
If the Board of Directors, as alleged, may have
failed to grant certificates to other teachers em
ployed by them, or omitted to perform their duty
in any other respect, that would not supply essen
tial defdets in the plaintiff's canoe of action, or
furnish ground upon st Edith he can claim a recos
ery in this case.
The City Treasurer,—Since the NVhig caucus did
dectee that Mr. Johnston would not Suit their pur
poses, we arc glad that they selected - a gentleman
so popular and well qualified as JAMES M. Cnuts•
rr, Esq. Ile is a native of this city, we believe;
is a young man of fine attainments and strict in
tegrity. Barring the conservatism of his political
opinions, we know of no objection to aim. The
money of the people will be safe in his hands.
People laugh at the notices of the state of
the weather that appear in the dailies rery mar;
ning. Let such.a person move off to a distance of
one hundred miles from home, hate a paper sent
to him'claily, and our Word fur it, theweather item
will be the first that attracts his attention. We
speak from our own knowledge, having experi
enced the desire to know whether there was 'Sun
shine, rain, or snow upon a certain day at our plate
of abode.
CHARGE OF JUDGE PATTON
We call the attention of those interested to-the
able charge delivered by Judge P.errorr, which
we publish to-day. It is an important paper.
THE NOVELTY WORXS
We copy the 'annexed item in relation to this
great establishment. from the Chronicle of yester
day. Livingston, /?ogg,rii Co., are the proprie
tors:
“The Novelty Works, on Grant street, are cer
tainly a great curiosity to all who take interest in
manufactures and mechanical employMents. -The
infinite variety of small articles which are made,
is indeed surprising. Besides the superior plat
form scales, and 'Kaughphy a}great variety
of door latches and locks, and almost every variety
of saddlers' and other hardviiare, b.dinces, ecaleG,
&c., ate manufactured. The Novelty Works are
well worthy of a visit.”
Just acrd Righl--The Chronicle urges the Leg
islature to raise the calarries of the Associate
Judges of this County. We hope our members
may see to this. The Associates have arduous
duties to perform, for which they haye heretofore
-received no adequate recompense.

OU my be cured by using tbe only true and
genuine Liver Pill.
Richmond, CraufordSo. Ps. June 22, 231
Though an maize stranger to you, I avail myself
of the privilege of beating teat:Minn - 2e to the inaszima
ble value of your Liver'Pilli.-t do looking.oi•ei the
Pittsburgh Weekly American, Ilierceive an appeal
to the public in ftcor of your Piaci - which prompts
me to perform a duty that I have - hid in contempial
don for sonic time. NO person, aCqUainted with
your Liver Pills, could imagine ial, you . "seek fur
:t xuy share of confidence for which it has not a just
or lull claim,” nor do I hesitate to say that, in my
opinion, it is the only pill deserving to be called the
" Liver rill," and truly you "may confidently ex
pect the Liver Pill to survive them all?,
. .. .. .
After having suffered the horrors of dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint for several years, and having resor
ted to every means within my reach—after having
the aid and coensel of two able 'physicians=-at the
i end of five years I found my flattering disease. only'
I palliated from time to lime, still preying 'upon my
system—renewing with more .vinletice.
About the Ist of July, 1:338, osiing to`excessive
exposure and fatigue, it began to renew a fearful
aspect—l was in a quandary; but I had heard ofyour
pills from a more authentic source than newspaper
recommendation, and as almost a last resort to pills
and drugs, I nurchased.a box ufyour Liver Pills.
After I had used them fir four days, copious dis
charges of bloody mucus and apparently decayed
liver, relieved me of the oppressive feelings in my
breast; but was succeeded 1.1 acute pain, whiCh no
tified me that I must use theta more sparingly, which
I accordingly did until Iliad used nearly three-fourths
of a box, (having given the balance to one of my
friends, who bears testimony to their superiority.)
what was my astonishnient when in less than one
month after I had done taking them, to find myself
ill the enjoyment of perfect health! certainly aradi-
Ual cure hal beim performed. 1 hml never-before
found a medicine that would reach the foundation of
the disease successfully Without danger. • '
I am still in good health; and under Divine Provi
dence, refer to Sellere Liver Pill as the efficient
cause. They are undoubtedly the best family phySic
with which 1 am acquainted.
Sellers' Liver Pill should be 'known—universally'
known—they need no other recommendation.
