A STATE NORMAL fCI.IOOL.
Bev. .Luira num; a Commissioner

Common Scl:ool system of the United
States, and of the Provinces•of Upper

2iittlial aptitude of Aniericans, particu

And also of the training of our teachers

The recent relort of our able State

no way could this writer itaye betrayed

Nor Is it,true that any Democrat to

it Is by no metal alone.
Much diversity of opinion exists
among bigness men everywhere as to
the right, path to pursue in the present
monetary emergency. Evinmea whose
daily; pursuits Love led them to make a
special study of Finance, are as much
loggerheads as to Resumption as men in
other calling. Each distiognishodlinan
cies has his scherde, and. neithsr two
agree. No larger measure of disagree
ment obtains among politicians. We
do not see how it well could, even with
the Most obstinate intention to get
apart. No larger. divergence is appar
ent among politicians, nor is It conceiv
able that it could exist. t!
On the test questions, touching . this
matter, so for presented to Congress
during the current cession, it is true that
most of the Republican members voted
against the continued contraction of pa—
per currency. The writer l who amens
they did so in order to oppose the Secrei
Lary of the Treasury meet fall into the
category of knaves or of foals. Mlle
fatly they did so in accordance with the
feeling prevalent among the larger num
ber of business men, as it was, perhaps,
proper they should do, holding a cepre
mutative position. But it is also true
that the larger part of the Democratic
members voted to sustain Contraction;
that is, voted to sustain the general pol
icy of the Secretary, our reviewer to the
contrary notwithstanding. In this the
Democrats clearly fol Towel the Hard
Money traditions of their many, which
were of a later crop.
It would be idle to deny that thoughts
of party advantage; eater into the di&
ertssions and itanoebverinit relative to
the reansgernen . t of the loances. The
hip:tatty is on the eve of a Presidential
tlection. Experience goes to atom that
II
a monetaryvera lion, happening at such
a conjuncture, is trettysore to defeat the
-party that dunces to be intim ascenden
cy. Thii fact may not be creditable to
the discernment and intelligence of the
masses; but so it is. Consequent's, the
Republicans; are spe'cirdly solicitous to
tide over. the presidential election with
ont commercial disaster; while the Dem
°grits, If • break up must come, pre
fer Its coming when it will be of pr'
Mimi help to them. There is nothing
marvellous In' thin state of feeling, or
that Mils for censure. Moat men, ex
cept in rare crt,ce, feel that they have
interests as citizens which far transcend
In value and durability any interests
theylave simply tie politicians.
Awhile ago - men were frightened at
the prospect of a collapse of prices,
which they supposed to be contingent on
return to specie. 'They thought that
to stop the contraction' would prevent
the fall in market Tildes, and that this
amiriguoul position,Hmidwey between
earth and heaven, Or ' Will and paper,
might be protracted Indefinitely. Bat,
prices have gone down, in some lines of
goods as far as they can ertaikvbe crowd
ed. The labor market is settlieg away

wise. A few, weeks ego - Gen. Gunny
recolunended Congress to increase ma
tcrialfy the wages of clerks in the War
Department. • Before his mcOmmenda•
tion could be acted on, he saw' reasons,
in the rapidly changing condition of Af
fairs, to withdraw it. Then the Nary De
partment reduced wages thirty per cent.
In ail the yards and arsenals. These are
significant facts. • Bat when a ass

RECONNTBUCTION
No doubt it le of hlgiconcernment to
have the Union restored, ',so . that allthe
States may once again hold their nor
mal relations to each ether end to the
general government: But It is of yet
higher consequence to have the Union
so restored as to make sore that al: the
sacrifices incurred during the war were
cot in vain. Here all the rebels, and all
the men who encouraged them to take
up arms, insist not simply that no
forfeitures shall be enforxd, but that no
guarantees shall be exacted for fhtnre
good conduct.' What these fictlonists
want is, that as the rebels failed to ac
complish their ends by getting out of the
Union, they shall now succeed by stay
ing in. 'that would be' lucky for them,
1 in case' the result could be, brought
about, hut would make the' martyred
patriots turn over in their graves.
Before Mr. titicozu was assassinated
Hr. Jon/snots avowed his' purpose to

did itotwant the Union dissolved; but
he wanted met as little that Rernblican
ideas should prevail in the national set
