movement, are regarded at ;the 'Capital: , He
The President Ye theasage containing the correspond

with the.rebel Commissioners, was sent - to the. House
on Friday, last, and is; the subject of excited conversa
tion in political circles vet, Mr. Lincoln has not sent
to Congress another aocument since his term com
menced which met with so 'cordial a welcome.- So
long as Republicans in Congress were left to gronpe In
the dark, they Were for the moet'part inclined to criti
cize and condemn. Mr. Blair and Mr. Lincoln. There
was a fear that something was going on' of which the
loyal people of the country would be ashamed when it
came to be generally :known. The message places the
Preside& in a new light‘-that of a diplomist—and he
;is today more- popular in Congress thee •he ever has
been before 4 . The universal sentiment of the patriotic
members is,; that he hair acquitted himself nobly. It
will be noticed that Mr. Stevens, 'who Is prominent
among .thlise who deprecate the entire proceedings,
got 'male his place as soon as the message was read and
gavb his sincere approval of the conduct of the President.
He I praised :the correepondence, characterizing it as
-masterly... This is the sentiment of nearly every Re
pehlican -meinber of Congress. -.'Where' before there
was a diSpoeition to condemn; there. Is now a cordial
admiration of our.chief magistrate. ' • •
° One or - two of Our 'prominent journals, thinking to
flatter the President, took. occasion; while he was ate:
sent engaged in the attempt'at negotiations with rebels,
to come out in startling editorials for peace. They were
ready to abandon everything but Union. 'for the sake of.
peace.• To the chagrin and mortification of these gen
• tlemen, the President reports that he refused peace un
less it could .be obtained with honor. They were will
ing to abandon the slave population Witte chances of
the Adoption of tee Constitutional Amendment, but the-
President Resisted upon his emancipatiOn proclamation.
The effect of the message is to give the President the
confidence of Congress and the country..-

There was but,ollo Opposition member in- the Home
`who had the meanness to attack the Administration tip.

to say.that it :Mr. James Brooke. • With the Isvi

Your attention is directed tAithe.following .
suggestions relative to the four months cer
tificate and accompanying aindavit : • :
All the blanks must be filled; and the ape
ciatinterrogntories iihould - be answered;
Ifthere are any,enuaures or•iiiterlineations,
the reason for them must be , stated in a note
signed by the president.. r
• - The, office of treasurer cannot be held by..
the person who is , at the same than Other
president oraecretery. - •
Much trouble is experienced by the War-
rant Clerk, because the name and post office
address of the treasurer are. freirently• not
plainly written. More care in•lthis respect is
reque•ted. • -
No warrant can be issued upon a.- certill-,
eate that has-not a five cent revenue stamp
upon it, or is not accompanied 'with a five
cent p(vtal currency. These stamps should be -
aftiseCn the certificate by the president of
. the' board, and cancelled by. him.: They are
a legitimate charge against the district tressu
:er ; but, it they cannot be proottred by-the
president, he should send the five cents 'to
the: county superintendent, who will, put on
the Stamp,
_or forward it to this department.
More careful attention to this matter will RFD
vent delay and save trouble and expense. • •
To Seire;tiaria. of Plellsool
. By the act of April 22, 186.3,. the:term. of
office of school director does notiow com‘
inerice until the first Mcinday.ofJune,-and the
board must be organize.between that and
the 10th of the month. ' This important, mod
ification of the law Was made in order to en
able the old officers to make the report and
certificate for the year in which they served.
Before the passage of this amendment, it fre
quently occurred that the new officers, who,
of course, could know nothing of, thefinan
cial operations of the district, . were the,
to mak• out and sign the reports; and ate
new President was often required to swear
to the facts set forth in the four: triennia' cer
tificate when he knew nothing about them:
The, difficulty is now Obviated: The annual
repert of the directors-is expeCted to contain
all the statistic "and the financial operations
of the district for the year for which it was
made, and cannot therefore, be made until
the ‘irhol6 business for the year is closed.' -It
is absolutely- necessary that the report con
Min the natues and post office address of the •
new members. In order that the doeument
be made by the old officers, and at the same
e
tim contain the • name and addietis of the
new," the following general', plan may be_
adopted
First. As 'soon as the operations of the
schools are clesed for the school year, and
proper entries made in the secretary's book;
let the blanks upon the left. land page be •
filled, and, at the last meeting of the board -
before the organization of the new.one, "have
the report, 'as filled, approved and then kept
by th 6 secretary until the new officers are
elected, when it should be handed over to the
newly: elected secretary, 'and by him the
blanks upon the 'right hand page, should bi
filled and'forwarded to the county' superin,
tendent without delay. In this way both ob
jeCts will be accomplished ;—that is,
; the old -
board will approve the report and it will con
tain the names of the new members' and -offi
cers. In making out the reports the secreta
ry should be careful and have :all the blanks -
properly filled, so that the exact condition of '
the whole operation of "the> system for the:
year 'shall be correctly represented. "It is*
hoped that directors will be more . prompt In
making out and forwardipg theirreports than
some of them were last "year. •
When the schools ferthe year are closed,
the teacher's monthly reports returned, and
the proper entries made, the whole opera
tions are fresh -in the minds of the proper
officers,, and then is the best time to fill 'out
the reports, except the names of the direc
tor?: We do not want any of the repents be
fore the first Monday in June, but we do
want them all by the' middle ;of July. The
; old directors and these 'newly elected shOuld
remember that the board cannot be organ.
ized till after the first MOnday t - ofjune."Any
acts done by aboard organized before that
day, will be illegal in all the counties of the
Commonwealth, except in Allegheny and
Philadelphia, and the cities of Lancaster and
The offices of treasurer and. secretary, or
,resident and treasurer, cannot. both be held
y the same; person at the same' time, neither
can the same peraon be, at the 'same •time
collec.tor 'and . president; or secretary ; see
school law, page 22. No. 86. . •
The annual reports ere frequently- irregu
lar or erroneous in one or,more - of the follow
ag- p ticulars

the inhabitants,. the fact - should 'always be -
mentioned, and the price of board per week
stated, but it shOuld not be' added to the
wages. Thatmill be done' by 'the clerks of.
the department
/. The Whole number , of scholars - attend
ing school is frequentlY incorrect," but , the
average number still more „frequently.- The
blank for this item calls for the average num
ber in all the schools of the district-; *Mims
many give the average in one school-=only;
while others give the average greater than
the 'whole numbers. • - . •
3. -The number of mills in the dollar for
school and building purposes is - often iocor;
rect, sometimes the two are put together; in
other reports the_ per cent..

the amount all in one sum. - -
