1jc 3cffcrscminn. THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1858 An Omission. ' In our list of township Officers last week, we omitted tlio name of E. 13 Woodward, ono of the Justices of the Peace, elected in Coollaugh township. Sir We are happj to learn that prom inent anions the candidates for nomina tion for Supreme Judge, is J. Pringle .Jones, of Kt-rks County, who is now President Judge of the Judicial District, composed of that county. Jlr. Jones is a gentleman of the strict est integrity, and is highly esteemed and respected by all who know him. As a judge, he is affable and courteous firm and decided, and never fails to dis charge promptly, fearlessly and impartial ly the duties devolving upon him. He is a roan of superior legal and literary at tainments, ha a sound and discrimina tin mind, and U indeed, eminently qual ified to adorn the Supreme Bench. Judge Jonc is just the man for the times. In support of him the Anti-Le- compton Dcmocra's, the Republicans and Americans can unite, without sacrifice of principle, as one body.which will present puch a bold and strong front that all the powers of the slave-driving Democracy and Buchanan despotism will not be able to prevail against. An able jurist and an upright man, whose opinions will not bo warped by prejudice or outside influence, should be elected Judge of the Supreme Court. Such a man we know Judge Jones to be We therefore commend him to the fa vorable con-ideration of the June State Convention, and sincccrely hope that hi- ehiims to the uoaiination tDr Judro of the Supreme Court, will be favorably con sidered by that body. Oporations of the United States Mint. The coinage of the U. S. Mint, in Phil adelphia, for the mouth of March was $200,722 50 in gold, principally in dou ble eagles; SJ76t0U0 in silver, wholly in half and quarter dollar pieces, and SIS, 000 in cents. lecompton Defeated. The great struggle on the Lccompton que.-tion was terminated in the Iloue on the 1st inst., by a complete route of tli Administration forces and defeat of the Lecompton iniquity! A sub-titute offer ed by Mr. Montgomery, in aubs-tance the Fame as the Critteml n amnmlmeiit, wa adopted by a vote of 120 to 1 12. The bill as amended was then passed by the sam vote Tfi speaking of Crittenden's amend -rncnt as passed, a correspondent of the Tribune anys it was materially improved and modified since it was fir.-t offered in the Senate. "Instead of saving that tin Constitution with which Kansas is now admitted shall be submitted to the popu lar vote, it refers to it merely as a Con stitution framed at L?compton. Jt pre vents less than a majority of the Board of Commissioners from certifying the vote on the Constitution to the President, thu rendering Kickapoo frauds and the likv fruitless. It rejects the land-grab ordi- i 1 1 nanc, ana puniucs Uiesai voting or fraudulent returns with severe penalties. It declares that if Lecomptou is reject ed, and a new Constitution ratified by the people, Kansas shall be absolutely in the Union; thus preventing any factious re sistance to her adicisMoo next winter, or any demand for compromises as condi - tions of admission." Judge Strong in the Nisi Prius branch of the Supreme Court, holds that in case of a lease containing no express covenant on the part of a landlord to rebuild, that he was not bound to rebuild; that tbo fact of his receiviug iufurauce money created no obligation to rebuild; that the rent is not suspended by the destruction of the premises, but the' tenant must continue to pay it; and that in a lease which provides that at its expiration the teuaut shall sur fender it "in good order, reasonable wear and tear excepted, it is qucstiouabl whether the tenant himelt is not boun to rebuild. This opinion was given in an action, the facts of which were these: AV Hughes had leased to D. P. Grove for seven years the premises 102 Nort Eighth strci't, Philadelphia, at an annua rem, ui cw"". j. ncie premis-cs were buriied in about one year from the com meucemeut of the lease. They were in sured and the policy was held by the land lord, who drew the. insurance money, and did not rebuild. Ihe tenant did rebuild aud hawug paid bis reut, brought this ac tiou to recover the amouut expended by him in rebuilding. The judge directed a non-suit. Ihe case has been carried to the Supreme Court, tut, with the law bearing fo positively, no expectation can be entertained as to a reversal of the de ciciou.

A letter writer says, that in iLea ven worth, girls can readily get 815 $cr itnontL f IP an good FOR THE JEFFERSONIAN. THE TEACHER . As. he was, is, and should be. No more striking example of the on ward march of civilization and the grad ual development of the human intellect can be afforded, than the contrast between the present and social condition of the Teacher. In the earliest ages, the oIBce of Toacber and of Slave was so nearly allied that the ancieut Greeks expressed both by one word patdagogos, from which is derived our word 2)C(aSSue Those individuals were cowoiouly the property of Kings, who used thera rather us servant-) and companions for their chil dren in their sports, than as instructors. Dioihrus Siculus mentions a somewhat remarkable in.-tauce of the ue to which a certain Teacher was pet, in those bar- bariau days, in describing the celebrated Argonantic Expedition to the shores oj the Pontus. insearch of the Golden Fleece The following is nearly a literal transla tion : "His (Phrixu-) Teacher, named Crios, was sacrificed to the gods, and his body being skinned, the jskiii was bung up in the temple according to a certain custom. After this the Oracle having aunounced to Aietes (tbe king) that when trangen, sailing to his coast, .hould carry away the skin of Orios, he should be compelled to die, they saj that the king fortified tin place and stationed over it a guard, and in addition to this ho gilded the skin in order that by appearance it might be cou idercd by the soldiers, worthy of a most diligent protection. If is permitted for those who know these things, to judge for themselves concerning the authenticity of the story." Aud truly all the wild extravagances of a heathen Mythology should not he re ceived as go?pel truths, nevertheless there are many things to be considered and learned by a careful perusal of it, con cerning the manners and customs of those superj-titious ages. A Teacher saciificcd, flayed, and hi cuticlc converted, for aught wo know, in to patent leather! Thiuk of it, ye Teach ers of the Nineteenth Century! But let us look at the Teacher as be is iuourown time and country. Writersofall grades and shades of political opinion unite at least upon the subject of the com potent Teacher, the magnitude of his of- ficc, the vastness of his influence. And the Teacher's profession is a noble one ; its importance can not be overrated.

He should be thorough and perfect in all thoso branches of cduoation that he undertakes to teach. He will then have no fear of getting beyond his depth. He should be possessed of sufficient ca pacity and tact to explain and make plain to the dullest comprehension what he himself knows. For a man may easily possess a vast reservoir of knowledge himself, but haviiig no outlet, it cannot be expected to bqnefit others. He should be, not only well versed in Books, but in men, that is, he should be an adept in the great study of "human nature." He should be a man of the world, a practical man; else ho will nev er be able to teach his disiciples to bring their store of knowledge to any practical advantage. Wo-should be endowed with profe.-sion-al feeling and pride, and should look up on his calling as a permanent one, and one which calls for tho application of all the police. He had his headquarters at his time, talent, and energies, and not. a au office in Cliff street, and it is &hrewd is too often the case, regard it rather as a lJ suspected that the same individual is , ,, ,-, , . , , "uu ui'"u wu ' v MWM" more lucrative position. He should have a good share of com - mon sense,-and and prudencej with judg- ment to discern at all times bis duty, and firmness and independence enough to en able him to do it, never swerving a hair breadth on account of tho storms of wrath or envy which will always at somo time or other assail him. lie should understand the art of per- suasion, which should be commonly cm - ployed; be kind, pleasant, courteous, ta-- king care to require of his pupils uotliiug but that which is perfectly reasonable and r ., . , v . . .

Another extensive Swindle Exposed. Sergeant Berncy andsome of the oth er officers of the Mayor's squad of Detec tives have just succeeded in effedtually breaking up a swindling house that was fast growing into an extensive business, and would t-pecdily have been putting thousands of dollars into the pockets o.t certain swindlers in the city, which had beeu abstracted from the pockets of our confiding and unsuspecting country cou sins, ibe eutcrpnso was, uowever, aia- covcred soon after it went into operation, aud has been blightad in its infancy by the'prmopt application of official cold wa ter. The style of swindle is by no means new, original, or calculated to deceive a shrewd business man, but undoubtedly many thousands of country merchants who are rather loose and oarclessin their manner of carrvinsr on business, or who are deficient in caution, have been taken in anu aone ior me tune oi ei"uiecu or twenty dollars apiece. About seven years ago a man named Bradley carried on .a similar business until ho was detected and shown us by the pnmo mover in the present operation The plan was as follows: to eud, to man a circular asking him to become the 1 special agent in his town or couuty for a certain Coffee Company. Inducements wc.re bcld oufc tl,at, coffee furnished by tins cuuipuuj huuiu uc ui PUfjuiiui ijuun tv, and would be invoiced at a rate that would ffivc couutry retailors a chance to make at least 50 per cent profit on the sale. If the man was disposed to, accept the ageucy, he was invited to remit to Ih Coffee Company in New York a smal sum. varying from Si 18 to S22. to thv for L sample invoice of coffee, which was to be sent immediately on receipt of the money. When the victim accepted the couumons ana seut the money, as man of them did, that of course was the last , , j c a it "'. . V J or their money. Messrs. Tappan & McKillop of the Mercantile Asuucy, SSo. 5 Iseekmau st. were induced by the sum of S300 to ad dress for this Coffee Swindler fifteen thou and circulars to the country merchants whose names are ou their books.

The pay for this would be three hundred and twenty-four dollars. In 1855 the A merican or Know Nothing Legislature chosen, in 1854, raised the pay to the salary of five hundred dollarsjper session, and it an extra session was convened by the Executive, three dollars a day was paid as the compensation for its duration; with this tho Democrats and old line Whigs found fault, and so did many of the Americans. The Legislature of 1856 which was Democratic, met and did not change the act of UiC previous session.1- In 1857 another Democratic Legisla ture met, and received the regular salary of five hundred dollars, and took besides two hundred dollars more. Anion tho people this act was very much censured. Elow do we fctand on this question? When elected every man knew what the salary was and if he did not intend to take that as the reward of his services he should not have come here. It is said that we do not make much. This I graut. But? did we come here merely to make inoooy? Have we uo regard for the interests of the Commonwealth! Cannot we devote a few days to her service without expecting tc become rich by it! The aggregate of tbia Legislative plunder is 2G,000 no in considerable sum. If we have a right, in discharging our duty faithfully to our constituents, to tako two hundred dollars a piece out of the the treasury in this claDde.-tine way, ithy may wo not vote ourselves one thousand dollars or more if there was enough there to gratify our avaricious propenitics? If by an amendment of the kind added in committee of the whole, we had laid our greedy hands on one thousand or twelve hundred dollars each, those who sent us here would have been appalled at the enormity of the deed and would have (pared no terms of denunciation in ap plying suitable epithets to our plundering act. IJence it is obvious that the differ ence is only in degree the principle 13 the same. Gentlemen say their eoustitu fnts applaud and commend such act. The gentleman from Schuylkill, (Mr. Hippie,) believes his constituents would do it; yet be. seems somewhat sore in.rcf- erence to my coarse on thU question. He seems to feel unpleasant, notwithstan ding the vaunted laudation of bis confid ing constituents. I inform him that I have pcrforzael my duty according to my conscientious convictions, and if his coil science has led him to make money, ho can pursue bis own course. We are daily finding fault with the vultures here wbo act as borers, and con stitute the third Ilou-c. This body is believed to be more numerous than the Senate. Some of them are intelligent Ml arcshrewed and it is fair tonrcsume that they arc not influenced by pure mo- lives, ii we tafce money out of tbetrcas- ury by a law which we pass to shield our- selves from imputation of it as the steal- ings of office, are we better than borers an we not vultures, who have been cho- to guard the treasury, and who, from having itching palms, are unfaithfnl sen tinels? We are sworn to support tbe Constitution, and to perlorm our duty with fidelity. Wht n we camo here we had no ri'-ht to thi? law. We. cannot take it out of the treasury without an acfc being passed by ourselves to authorize it. in mis we oniy nicer irom other plun derers by having the power to legalize our dishonesty. More than tin, we are legislation-, b7 passing acts, and that very properly, to pnuih Saving Fund and Bank officers for embezzlement lor putting their bands to the money entrusted to their charTe. whilst we are doing the same. No ving bund or .bank officers who takes the money committed to his care, and appro- priates it to bis own use, occupies, in moral, a dilkrcnt situation from what w,i (l I'J using the State funds in the sa,,)e manner. If this act is passed, I can "ever receive one cent of such ill-gotten posses-ion. I will leave it where it' ought t0 oc. for tuc heuefit of the State in the the Siukiuj; Fund.
