Sir. draw in New York.
From a report of a meeting of the “Young
Men’s Republican Central Committe’’ in New
York City, Wednesday evening, April 20th,
we extract the following:
The President then introduced the Hon. Qa
lushn A. Grow of Pennsylvania, who was re-:
ceived with loud and prolonged cheera.
Mr. Grow gave thanks for the cordial mati
’ her, in which they had received him. He came
to rejoice with them over the victories that had
-swept over the country, and which were the
portent of a Republican triumph in 18G0.—
'Times there were in history when old issues
ceased, and old parties passed out of existence.
New organisations were formed, and elements
"which had been previously irreconcilable came
together, and men who had acted, together for
years were now apart. We were now in the
midst bf such an era. The progress of the
world and genius of our institutions made it
inevitable that new parties should he formed,
and that we should be free to form new rela
tions in politics. Now a new question had
sprung upon us, and we were to meet it It
was the question of the extension of Slavery.
From this the mind had been diverted by the
existence of two political parties, which had
had well defined issues for over fifty years.—
After alluding to the early policy of the Gov
ernment in opposition to-Slavery, Mr. Grow re
ferred to the present movements as a return to
the early policy of the Republic. He analysed
the present issues dividing the parties, and paid
a glowing tribute to Free Labor, contrasting it
with the involuntary labor of the slave. The
present attitude of the Executive, the Judiciary
and the Legislative branches of the United
States Government in throwing the weight of
its influence in favor of human bondage was
Critically examined, contrasting this and the
expenses of the Administration with their neg
lect of the interests of honest labor, Mr. Grow
denounced the corruption and want of moral
vitality in the Democratic party. He reviewed
the measures of the last Congress to show how
jealous was the Slave interest of any measure
tending to elevate and extend Free Labor. Mr.
Grow’s speech occupied over an hour, was lis
tened to with profound attention, and was fre
quently applauded.
It was moved that a vote of thanks he giv
en Mr. Grow for his able support of the Home
stead bill. The motion was supported in a
speech by Judge Peabody, and was carried.
The Sickles Trial.—Verdict of Acquittal.
The trial of Daniel E. Sickles, for the mur
der of Philip Barton Key, was ended on Tues
day by the acquittal of the prisoner. The tes
timony on both sides was closed on Saturday,
and counsel summed up on Monday and Tues
day.- The Judge charged the Jury, instructing
them on the several points raised by the coun
sel, and with a strong leaning toward the pris
oner. At a little before 2 o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon the Jury retired, and remained out a
little more than an hour. When they returned,
the usual formalities of confronting the Jury
and the prisoner, and putting the ordinary
questions, were gone' through with, the verdict
of Not Gcit.Tr was then pronounced. It was
greeted by an outburst of applause from Mr.
Siekles’s friends both in and out of Court. In
the midst of the uproar, the stentorian voice of
Mr. Stanton was heard addressing the Court in
these words; “I move that Mr. Sickles be
discharged from custody.”
Marshal Soldon—Come to order, gentlemen;
come to order. This is a place where there
should be no noise. . —mo marshal.
aii. ummon—(boiling over with excitement)
—-“In the name of Mr. Sickles, and of his
counsel, I desire to return thanks to the Jury.”
Judge Crawford (who appeared to he the
only person in Court not excited) —Mr. Stan
ton, wait till the verdict is recorded. i
Mr, Stanton—Of course, your Honor, you
must excuse excitement on this occasion.
Clerk to the Jury—Your record is, gentle
men, that you find Daniel E. Sickles “Not
Guilty.” ■
j The Jury nodded affirmatively.
Clerk—Ami so say you all.
Another Affirmative nod from the Jury.
Mr. Stanton—l now move that Mr. Sickles
he discharged from custody.
Judge Crawford—The Court so orders.
Mr. Stanton (turning around) —Now go it.
Judge—No noise. The prohibition, however,
was unheeded, and Mr. Sickles was then led
out of Court and taken to the house of a friend,
amid a good deal of tumult The sober verdict
of the country is yet to come, and it is to be
hoped, for the sake of our national character,
at least, that it will reverse that of the Wash
ington Jury.
The Oberux Resci-e Cases.— The 17. S.
Court, sitting at Cleveland, which is trying
these cases, behaves in the most tyrannical man
ner towards the defendants. The Judge is
overbearing and oppressive in his rulings, the
District Attorney insolent and supercilious, and
the Marsha! as obsequious as a hound in obey
ing the orders of his masters. The latter packs
the Jury with willing tools and the Court and
Attorney sustain him in it.
When arrangements were making for the
first trial, the counsel for the defendant agreed
to what is called a “struck” jury. Forty ju
rors were summoned, of whom ten were Re
publicans. The District Attorney had the pri
vilege of striking off twelve and the attorney
r the defence twelve; and from the sixteen
left the jury was chosen. The District Attor
ney, in striking off his twelve, struck off every
one of the ien Republicans , so that every man
left on the jury was a democrat, chosen with
express reference to their pro-slavery views.
After the first trial was over the Court tried
to force the defence to go on, with the same Jury,
which had already convicted one of the defend
ants. and submit their cases to men who had
. thus made up their minds against them. The
Court was finally shamed out of this; but in
picking up a new jury, the Marshal exercised
ins utmost ingenuity in trying to find men who
would render a verdict according to order. Be
fore such a jury the trial of the second of the
defendants is now proceeding. They will ail be
convicted, of course. (The bench of a corrupt
government suoh as o*urs could not possibly be ■
without a dozen Judges willing to tread in the
footsteps of Jeffries,

prominent citizens of Oberlin, are all in jail

AVh. B. Mann, Secy, Chairman, i
Schooling,
As the Teacher’s Institute of this County is
now in session at Tioga, it will not he consid
ered out of place to offer a few suggestions
touching upon this subject, as, possibly, they
may call out more extended views from the
teachers themselves. We shall content our
selves with a few plain propositions.
I. Parents are apt to think they have done
their.whole duty by their children, when they
have given them the opportunity of attending
three or four winter schools. Almost every
superintendent in the State will attest the gen
eral truth of this, although there are many ex
ceptions, Men sometimes plead that they are
unable to spare their children any more time;
that they require their labor on the farm or in
the workshop, and cite themselves as instances
of success in life without even as much school
ing as they are now giving their children.—
Others there are, who inever neglect to send
their children to school when there is one in
the neighborhood, and who take a lively interest
in school matters and in the selection of good
teachers ; and here, they think, their duty to
their children in the matter of schooling ends.
Roth of these classes of parents forget that
there is a home schooling due to their children;
that there are a thousand opportunities every
year of instilling into the growing minds of
their children beautiful lessons of energy, self
dependence, self-control and a love of' tmth
and benevolence—lessons which no teacher can
inculcate as thoroughly and as well os a father
or mother—lessons, too, which prepare the child
for the battle of life, and which can be learned
from a stranger imperfectly, if at all. Parents
ought therefore to remember that whether they
are able to give their children a thorough com
mon school education, or only a poor chance of
two or three terms, they con have no possible
excuse for neglecting this home schooling which
is of so much importance to their children.
11. Our common school scholars are apt to
think if they have “gone through’' a certain
number of class books, that therefore they are
«Ju?aA<L..„TiyaJaL’uy' t ie fondness' and pride
of parents and by the thoughtlessness of teach
ers. While we believe that, boys and girls
ought to be lauded and encouraged by kind
words for every acquirement which results from
perseverance and industry, we also believe that
children are sometimes injured by hearing
themselves spoken of by parents and teachers
in terms of the highest praise. In this way a
smart child is often led to believe himself a
prodigy of learning; and jnst as soon as a boy
"thinks he kndws it all,’’ he is spoiled, till
years and expedience have unlearned him a
lesson, which, but for the thoughtlessness of
his parents or teachers, he need never have
karned. Parents ought not to be content that
their children have merely “gone through” a
book; they ought to satisfy themselves that the
“going through” has been thorough, and that
the pupil understands it. To illustrate more
clearly what we mean, we will cite an instance
of the “going through” process. We once
heard one boy say to another, that be had
been twice through the arithmetic. As he was
quite small, we became interested at once and
asked him if he knew why after adding a col
umn of figures, all the tens were carried to the
next column ? He did not know why it was so,
but he knew it was so; and we knew at once
that the poor boy had been schooled but not
educated.
111. Teachers should learn to make a dis
tinction between schooling and education. If
this distinction were generally made, it would
save much time and trouble. A thought or two
on the subject will convince any one that school
ing and education, though closely knit together,
are entirely different from each other. We
known men who have passed through college
with the highest honors, who were entirely
unfit for the business of life. Their profound
knowledge of Greek, Latin, the Calculus and
Conic Sections, although beautiful in themselves
in a literary and scientific point of view, did
not help them to elucidate the “bread question.”
These men were schooled but not educated.
Men may know a great deal, but if they do not
know how to make their knowledge useful to
themselves or their fellow men, of what use
is it?
We offer these remarks with the hope that
they will not be lost upon our readers. People
are becoming more and more wide awake on
the subject of Education every day, and every
meeting of the Teacher’s Institute pushes the
ball along in our own county.
The Verdielt
The reader may find In another column, an
account of the closing scene of the ridiculous
farce recently enacted at "Washington," called
“The Sickles Trial/* which, for nineteen days
dlled the daily newspapers and was the leading
topic of conversation and discussion in every
circle of society. Sickles is declared “Jfdfc
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
Gnilty” by the Jury, and he is acquitted. In
effect, the Court in this case has declared, that'
if one man believes another man to bo worthy
of death, he may proceed at once and slay him,
and the slayer may stand before his fellow men,
and in the eye of the -law T guiltless. Sickles is
not only, guiltless, but be is an. injured and
abused husband who ought to have thfe syajpor
thy of honorable men—a virtuous, martyr who
ought to be sainted for ridding the earth of an
adulterer—a vietim of the barbarous laws of
Maryland under which he has been confined a
short time in a felon’s cell.
Of course, nobody is surprised at this verdict;
in fact everybody expected it. For the last ten
days his acquittal, or at least, bis safety from
punishment. has been transpicuous in every
feature of the farce. Who ever heard of a con
viction for murder in the District of Columbia?
Ours is a great country and Washington is its
Capital. Justice, supposed to be blind in other
parts of the world, can see a things#* two in
Washington. Thus a few , weeks ago, a man
was imprisoned and still remains in prison for
harboring his own child, while a murderer is
acquitted and lionized. But Justice took the
bandage off her eyes, and discovered that the
one was a free negro, and the other a member
of Congress. I
Notwithstanding the fact, that influenced by
the technicalities of law and the many other
subterfuges presented by the ablest counsel in
the country, the Court has pronounced Sickles
innocent of crime, be is nevertheless, in our
view, a black hearted murderer. Evidence was
offered and pronounced inadmissable by the
Court, which would have proved Sickles a
shameless libertine, worthy only of the fate of
his victim.
One thing more is worthy of note in this case.
Mrs. Sickles, the frail and fallen wife of the
murderer, is driven from the pale of society,
while her husband, notoriously known to be
guilty of the same crime, is lionized and ap
plauded. True, this is in accordance with the
usual custom in such cases. If a woman sins,
kick her down, instead of trying to win her
back to the path of rectitude and purity. Kick
her down—that’s the rule—for if you should be
seen speaking kindly to her, or giving a word
of advice, you would lose caste in “our best
society."
We are among those who believe society will
right itself on these questions soon, and laws
and customs will be made by which even
banded justice will be meeted out to the rich
and the poor, the high and the lowly, and to
the sexes alike. Heaven speed the time 1
Greeley and the. Tribune,
The New York Tribune comes to us'this week
in new type, which greatly improves its appear
ance. It containa a very interesting article
giving a history of its existence for the past
eighteen years. From this we gather an idea
of the magnitude of the concern, in a business
point of view. Thus, it pays $44,000 a year to
ft'yeYf in'tffe"3eparfm°enFot T prmifng',
for telegraphing; $16,000 for mailing. Its
type costs $lO,OOO a year ; its ink $8,000; its
presses during the past year coat $70,000.
But notwithstanding these enormous expen
ditures the receipts have kept pace with their
growth, so that, to-day, it is a paying concern,
its aggregate circulation being 211,750 copies.
When we reflect that this large circulation
has been attained, not by pandering to the pub
lic vices of the day, but by its manliness in re
buking them ; and whjn we reflect that the
Tribune has eclipsed its contemporaries who
have systematically and persistently pandered
to the depraved tastes of the people, and apolo
gized for and sometimes extolled our national
crimes, we can believe that occasionally “the
right comes uppermost" occasionally is
justice done. With most of the leading ideas
of the Tribune we have sympathized for years ;
with some of its views we have no sympathy
whatever. Yet, because we differ with the
Tribune on questions of minor importance, is no
reason why we should denounce, or try to crip
ple its influence for good. We have done what
we could in our humble way to extend its cir
culation, because wc know that ho who reads
it, will, ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
vote as we ourselves do. We know, too, that
communities where the Tribune is extensively
taken and rend, are more peaceable, orderly
sober, industrious and intelligent than where it
is not. We know, too, that the man who reads
the Tribune is more likely to subscribe and pay
for his county paper than the man who does
not. •
We notice that Mr. Greeley is about to take
a trip Westward, through the Kansas Gold
Mines to Utah; thence to California; thence
across the Isthmus to the Atlantic, and expects
to be in New York about the 10th of Septem
ber. He will write to the Tribune of all he
sees and hears, and we have not the least doubt
that, although the places which he proposes to
visit have been often written about, few will
fail to gather new facta from his letters to the
Tribune in regard to them.
S&* The Harrisburg Telegraph is a good pa
per in its way, but its way is a very poor one.
It has a habit of appropriating the editorials of
other journals, and seems to have a chronic dis
like to give credit to its more humble cotempo
varies. So far as we are concerned we care
nothing about it, but we like to see honesty even
in small things.
In order that we may not be misunderstood
by the editor of the Telegraph , we wish to call
his attention to his weekly issue of April 27th.
Your editorial “Rowed to song Ppepose” first
appeared in the N. 7. Courier and Enquirer;
your editorial “Goon Bye," first appeared in the
N. 7. Tribune; and your “Destrcctiom Rail
road” selection on the outside of your sheet,
first appeared in the Agitator instead of Pith's
Family Journal. Try fairness awhile, neighbor,
and see .how It works.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
Our County Fair.
Friend Youxg ■ —Some years since the far
mers and mechanics of this connty organized a
county fair which bad for its object the devel
opment of the agricultural and mechanical in
terests of our people. And thus far the effort
has been attended with tolerable success. Our
annual fairs have been well attended, and the
number and quality of animals and articles
upon exhibition have yearly increased ; still it
has not exerted the salutary influence it might
have done, had it not have been for some local
difficulties which have existed. Some local feel
ings were developed, when the location was
fixed at your place for a term of years; hut
in my judgment, personal' matters should not
enter into this question, individuality should
not be recognized. Nothing can tend more to
draw out the agricultural resources of Tioga
county than the earnest and honest cooperation
of our farmers; concert of action to insure
firm and competent success, is needed in every
department of life. This principle is every
where recognized by practical men, and for
many good and sufficient reasons the citizens of
Tioga without reference to any particular locali
ty, should heartily engage in this movement.
Firstly, it encourages the farmer, mechanic,
or whoever wishes to offer anything for compe
tition. It gives to many an honest ambition to
excel in their peculiar calling.
Secondly, as a people, we have too few holi
days, and the few we do have, generally are of
the wrong kind. Our Fair comes off at the sea
son of the year, when above all others the far
mer needs relaxation from the labor of haying
and harvesting. What better holiday can be
imagined, than a general meeting once a year
of the citizens of a whole county, and enjoy
ing the benefit of each other's experience ? Here
the young receive the benefit of the mature in
years, all have an opportunity oflistening to the
annual address of some practical farmer, who is
both able and willing to instruct.
Reader, can you not afford to visit the next
Fairf Cap you not spend the time? Dontyou
think it will pay f • Farmers of Tioga, will you
take an interest in this matter? You haVa the
life giving power in your hands, for once, will
you one and all, without reference to past feel
ings, whether of a local or private nature, put
your shoulders to the wheel! let not want of
time binder you from giving your heat efforts to
this good work. May the county Fair ba uni
-versally attended; ‘ May, every farmer bring
forward something for exhibition. Let every
one jog bis neighbor. Of course from the very
nature or lhiHgs,-wh6Tt many good articles of
the same kind are_offered, some mast fail of ob
taining premiums, hut for that, shall yon frown
nnon an ‘institution which is just the thing
needed for the development of the agricnltural
interests of this county ? i Fean*.
Mr. Editor Annexed are a few hints on
cistern building, cost Ac., which if you think
proper, you may publish.
Cisterns for holding rain-water are much car
sier and cheaper built than is generally known
in this section. I give below the manner of
building and cost of one I had built two years
ago.
It has afforded us during that time plenty of
pare soft water for all purposes, except cooking
and drinking, although the water has only been
taken from the eaves of a small building 14 by
18 feet. It is ten feiet deep and about five feet
in diameter, covered over the top with hoards
(which are supported on two joists laid on the
top of the wall,) with a hole in the centre large
enough for a man to get in and out, and fdr-the
insertion of a pump if necessary. It will hold
when full about one-hundred barrels of water.
The wall is made of stone, laid dry, plastered
with two coats of mortar, made of “Hydraul
ic cement” (or water lime) and sand. The
digging cost me more than it will in most lo
calities, on the account of the ground being so
very bard.

To the Editor of the Agitator.
Dear Sir :—Near the dwelling house of Mr.
Henry Crofut, in the township of Gaines, on
the west bank of Elk Bun, stands a tree, or
rather the stump of a tree, (the tree itself hav
ing been felled and partly manufactured into
rails) which bears indubitable evidence of bein g
"blazed" and chopped into with soiine sharp,
narrow-bitted and smooth cutting ax or hatchet,
ooer one hundred and seventy jive years ago.
Who blazed it? The tree, a huge, hoary, and
time-honored hemlock, has grown from its
twighood, almost up to its present dimensions,
a monarch among trees, with a scathed heart,
the ruthless infliction of some ruthless savage,
or some more ruthless son of civilization.
We go back to the year IGB2-3, about the
time this tree must have been marked and
Plymouth itself was yet an infant in all of the
resources of mechanical art—the land of Penn
was an unbroken wilderness. Perhaps the
“great and good" man of Quaker habits, had
not as yet stood in the shadow of the Shacka
raaxon elm, nor said to the dusky-browed chil
dren of the forest, “I will not call you brothers
or children, but thee shall be to me as mine, as
half of the same body.” Then we ask again,
. “laird” the tree? Who can tell?
