• THE PRESIDENT'S 'MESSAGE, •
Upon perusing the Message of Andrew
Johnson, to Congress, it will bc found that.
the sentiments arc the same as those he ad
vanced last year, and: that be clings with.
pertinacity to his offensive policy. lie does
not take a step towards . concilialine Congress,
nor does he hint at. any plan - of agreement,
Last year he . eipressed himself faVorable to
admitting the rebel States unconditionally:
This year he does the same;
. .
: To make a plausible-se for timmurecon- -
.
seructed rebels, the President infltis Message .
descends to misrepresentation, - Ile says:that
tlie'enforeement•ofthe laws is rip longer ob.

powerful to .be -Suppressed by. the ordinary.
emirse of judicial proceedings. Now, it is
well known that all over the South bands of

culty that the Collector can annually get the
amounts due: We will let tttem pass as facts
Well known to the community. In place
they have due weight and bearingas causes
for expressed hostility to the School Board
and' iis,C(Alector. Besides, the .Copperhead
party and•its organs are
..consistently hostile
'to public schools, especially . those that are
well managed, on the very correct 'ground
that they are inimical to the growth of that
party. We have the testimony of so eminent
a gentleman as Senator Chandler of Michi
gan, who says that this is so. The organ
here therefore, only discharges its simple
duty to its party; when is endeavors to affcct
the rePutation - and efficiency of the schoolsor
Pottsville, and impugn the 'motives of the
. .
. In regard to placing. the School and I3or- '
ough dUpliCates in the bands of one collmt
or, experience demonstrates that this is not
advisable. The accounts are kept separate,
and to.prevent confusion and insure prompt
ssttlement in - full of the duplicates it is neces
nary that they should be collected separately.
In "forme] years as will :be remembered by
our citizens, when the population„ of the Bor
ough was eomparatively small, the . County
and Borough• duplicates were mllected by
one man. 'What was the result ?' In many
- casea the collectors became defaulters to one
or the other. , The Borough has just settled
ap one case of the kind, in which the Col -
le:emr was a defaulter to the Borough, to the
amount of some eight thousand dollars. To
&Imre .prompt - settlement it became" 'feces
-sary to confide: the` collection to separate.
Irands, and the Borough hashad nO difficulty,
since.- ' To.collect the School and Boroklgh
duplicates efficiently, work enough for two
persons. If the County authorities do not
t'link,so why do, they employ two 'collectors
t 1 collect the. County and Bounty too': in
Pottsville? One,.according to the 'Copper
head organ's reasoning, should be enough. •
We have no interest in any one man.eol
lecting the School or any other tax. We
want to see it done efficiently and promptly,
even _if obstreperous editors or noted bad--
pays are made through lugging" or other
processes, to.!`toe the. mark." ' We support-.
-ed Mr. Riland for Borough Collector, because.
'he is faithful, worthy, and a staunch old tin
trios. We commend Mr. Bindley for prompt
ly settling up h a duplicate, and we would
move the appointment of, a day of thanks:
giving in this County if:collectors under Cop
perhead authority, would go and do likeivise.
In regard to the character of, the Pottsville
Public School system, we might state that it'
isjustly regarded as one of the most effective
and, able in the State, It has furnished rules.:
and regulations which have been adopted by .
Slate Superintendents and recommendedito
County Superintendents.:lt has, received
the warmest 'encomiums of accomplished
teachers abroad, and it stands to day a mon
ument of-wise and judicious economy.. The
work has been. done by a series of Boards,.
and the present one is . in nowise.inferior to
its predecessors. Our citizens recognize the
filet, and. smile at the animus: of Copper
head attacks upon a body so prudent in its*
measures, so alive to the interests of the tax
payers, as, the Pottsville School Board.

the very edge of the fight to resaitethe wounded;
and`cheer and comfort the dying with gentle min
