Dear Advocate : In our last chat
with you we were iu Savannah Ga.,
now in Jacksonville in (he land ol

evening warm and pleasant with a bright
nioon above us to cheer and give iutrrc-t
to the journey. The balmy mildness ol'j
the atmosphere was not disturbed until
we reached the OkeSuokco Swamp when
it was suddenly interrupted and the inter
ruption seopibly felt, as overcoats and
shawls which had been laid aside for
the niht, wore looked up, and every
body wrapped himself and herself up as
though they were passing a frigid region.
You can form no idea of the suddenness
of the change, unless you make the pn---agej
we were told that nt all times the
change from aliimst insufferable hcut , to
ohilly coldness was the aaine while pass
ing tiiis dismal swamp of America.
We noted no particular change in the
surface of the country between Savau-
nah nod this place, with the sceptiocs
of rice fields, and these were now for the
most part under water.
Well about 8 o'clock 7 ursday morn
ing we readied tin? New York of Florida,
the city of Jacksonville. From tho
Depot of the Jacksonville, I'eusaeola
and Mobile Hail Rorl, we wended our
way to the St. John's House, owned and
kept by Mrs HuJuall, and found it all
that the weary trt-volor could desire.

Thje constitutional Convention
has
been debatiog tho matter of making ap
propriation cf public money, but iu ali
its reported h'ik wo pes little of a practi
cal ohsraeter to protect the public rev
enues. The public purse should be
placed beyond tho reach- of all logislu
ti?e bodies, estimates made for allolReiid
expenses lor ten years, at.d these tl.'ii
fixed in the otgjuie law. This cuuid
easily be done lor the States, and il it
were so arranged the saving in public
money would astoi:isl. every tix payer.

Governor llartrautt dc.-erv-a ere Jit for
his veto of (be bill appropriating 575.000
to the relief of tho Sinner-at sufferers
lie points out that the money is not to
bo applied to the lclief of needy or suff
ering, but to io.J. i'iijily citizens i r loes
by fire, and protc.-.ts that th.; State shall
not assume tho functions of an insurance
company particuhirly siuco it receives no
premiums on that .-.ere. The Goveri or
is right. J iUnburgh Gazette.
Now that the Supreme Court ban
pronounced the Local Option law cor.
stitutiooa', the people will have a free
chance t' pronounce judgment tgaiust
a traffic which is the source of all crime,
all misery, a:l degradatiou, all shame,
and all suffering; and if we would get a
public view of the docket of every po
lice magistrate iu tho State our asser
tions would be sustained by the facts re
corded therein. State Journal.
Nova Scotia yielded in the ten years
ending Januaiy 1, 1871, adout eight
tons of gold, valued at 53,040,350.
More than nine millions of bricrwood
and ether woudeu 'pipes are made
yearly iu this country.
1 he State Appropriation bill (which is
now pending before tho Committee of
Conference) contemplates an expendit
ure of 875,000 during tho current year
upon Normal School. To eoiuo, per
haps, this may geciu extravagance but
any one who understands fully the func
tions of normal schools will be otherwise
minded. Hie educational system of
Pennsylvania, has been Irequeotly and
warmly landed, yet there is time of our
Htato institutions more in need of reform.
Not one among fifty of our teachers are
trained for the work before thrro. Who
would think of entrusting n suit of
clothes to a tailor, or a pair of shoes to
a shoemaker who hud never undergone
an apprenticeship to his trade? Is edu
cation a matter of less moment? The
greatest benefit that could be done for
Pennsylvania to-day would be a thorough
revision of its school system, and the en
actment of a law providing that all
teachers be instructed in their art before
entering upon active duty, llcnco, not
only should the existing Normal School
be supported, but a sufficiency of new
ones should be established, and dually
every teacher should bo compelled to go
through a course cf at least six months
at one of these institutions. Suouer or
later this will cirne to pass the sooner
tho better. Pittsburgh Gazette.

know the writer's ways and phrases so
well, how much greater the peril in the
case of more acquaintance. I think cor

A decision of ousiderable import
ance to debtors and creditors was render
ed a few days ago, iu tho Uuited States
District Court of New Jetscy, to the ef
fect that where a man was bankrupt he
was not entitled to the five hundred
dollars exemptioii of the United States
low, but was entitled to the two hun
dred dollars allowed by he Statu ouly;
not to both the State and National ex
emption, ns that, in some cases, would
leave nothing fur the creditors. Id
another case it was decided, as to what
property should be restrained under the
bankrupt act, that all property must be
gived into the hands of an assignee, ex
cept, that amount exempted by the State
law, aud that tho other exemption mnst
come through the order of the Court.

principle applies in other States. Fx,
