We give a good share of our space to-day to Mr. Agnew's reply to the af- Sdavits, Ac, published in the Forest Pre last week and previously, and that would satisfy our yearning ou that subject for otie week, had not Mr. Conver gono entirely out of his way in last week's paper to give ua a gratui tous insult. The language we take exception to, is as follows : "That a wrong has been committed is so palpable, so evident, that even the Republican editor of this county cannot be induced to attempt to ex plain or extenuate it. He dare not defend it." It is not the province of any respect able newspaper to interfere in any case which has to be passed upon by a court or jury. Our position, the only one we have ever taken iu this case, is, "Let the man who was elected be seat ed." The position of Mr. Conver in this matter, from first to last, has been, "Let Ilaelet be seated! if he wasn't elected there must be a fraud some where I" In other words, he is gov erned by prejudice eutirely, and if he has auy judgment he fails utterly to exercise it. There has not been a time Bince the beginning of this contest, when an editor possessing discrimina tion, judgment and a healthy sense of justice, could, with fairness to both parties iu the contest, take sides, acd assert that "this man or that man was elected." Immediately after the elec tion, we had notice that Agnew pro posed contesting the election ; after the decision by the Court, it was made public that Aguew would appeal to the Legislature ; immediately after the decision ofjhat body was rendered, it was given out that Haslet would ap peal to the Legislature to re-open the case. That is the way the matter stands at present. Auy discussion of the merits of the question by a news paper is done to bias those who have to pass on the case. If there is any discussion of the case at all, it should be done by the principals themselves, aud not by editors who are so bigoted and blinded by ill-couceived prejudi ces aa to be able to see but one side of a question, and only the surface of that. As to the lat'.er clause of the extract, we would just say that a dare like a bet, is a fool's argument, and we decline to be iniluenccd by any such means. Suffice it to say that we daro conduct a newspaper in an honorable straightforward manner, and to use common dectucy, judgment an J fair nebs in regard to matters which are to be settled by those appoiuted by law lor that purpose. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. The Teachers' Institute convened as per programme published last week, by the election of Prof. II. S. Brock way aa President, Mr. T. D. Dunn Vice President, and Miss Emma E. Arncr, Secretary. On Monday eveuing, Dr. Coburn, lectured on "the Circulation of the Blood," a gory subject, which he illus traded by drawings on a blackboard, and the heart of a swine, which he dissected before the audience. He closed his lecture with some very good advice to the women, particularly the teachers. On Tuesday evening, Mr. T. D. Dunn entertained the audience with a medley of declamations, and wa fol lowed by Mr. S. D. . Owens, of Pitts burgh, who lectured on the subject of "Educational Millstones." We were sitting a little too far back in the aud ience to hear all that he said ou the subject, as his voice did not fill the room, and occasionally his articulation was indistinct. Briefly stated, the "Millstones" consisted of Poor School Houses, Poor Locations, Poor Furni ture, Poor Ventilation, Inadequate Apparatus, incompetent and careless School Directors, Ancient and worn out books, fcc. His points were Well taken, and showed an intimate ac quaintance with the evils which he deprecated. The programme for the balance of the evenings of this week has been changed, and is as follows : Wednesday Evening. Lecture by N. R. Thompson, Supt. of Warren Co. Subject, "Families and the School. Essiy by Mr. T. D. Dunn ; subject, "Educational Barriers." Thursday Evening. Essay by S D. Irwin, Esq.; subject, "Success and Failure." Lecture by W. E. Lath, Esq ; sub ject, "Power of Letters." Mr. Kennedy King, of Erie, Pa., a celebrated Elocutionist, will be pres ent at the last session of the Forest County Teachers' Institute, on the ev ening of Dec. 21, 1877, at tho Court House, and entertain the audience with some readings and recitations.
