What has become of the "rings'"
which for the last two years so terri
bly frightened the republican ? Was
it a myth, has llrown demolished it,
or did it grow to such dimensions last
October that he gave up any further
attempt to straddle it? How is it,
neighbor?
Our advices from Harrisburg show
that it is now reduced to a certainty
that Hubert Mackey, of Pittsburg
will be the rad caucus nominee for'
state treasurer. The fight is warm
and some dozen rad members are in
clined not to go into caucus, and will
be against Mackey when the final
vote is taken.
The Governor's Message.
In another column of the REPOR
TER we finish such portions of govern,
or Geary's message as we deem of
interest to our readers—the document
being rather lengthy we omit such
parts as are of little concern to our
readers. The message is not at all
to the pleasing of our radical friends—
and quite a howl has been raised over
it by rads in the legislature, some of
whom voted against having it printed
because, as they allege, the governor
has arrayed himself agaiqst the party
which elected him. Some of our rad
ical exchanges grumble at the govern
or and eveu refuse to publish his
message. And why ? Because as
will be st-en, he protests against the
interference of the national administra
tion with the elections in this state, by
■ending troops to Philadelphia on elec
tionday. We did not expect this much
jnsticeffrom Gov. Gear)*, and it is as
gratifying as it is unexpected, yet it
was none the less a sacred duty as
chief magistrate of the the common
wealth. Gov. Geary very truly says
Grant's bayonets were uncalled fox,
as Pensylvania is amply able to take
care of herself, and does not require
the assistance of federal bayonets.
When Gen. Grant sent troops to the
polls in our state as he also did to
New York aud other states, —without
being called upon by the executive, he
played the part of an usurper, and de
serves to be impeached and ignomin
ious!}' kicked from the White House
for menacingly insulting the sover
eign people of this and other states.
We call the attention of all honest
republicans to the language of the
governor. No impartial miud will say
that the democrats had no just grounds
for complaint, at the time Gen. Grant
was guilty of this gross usurpation.
Gen Grant's purpose in sending feder
al soldiers into the cities of Phila
delphia and New York, on election
day, was for the sole purpose of ag
gravating the democrats and provok- j
ing riot. Carl Schurz, the great rad
ical leader wnd senator from Missouri, ;
holds up the president to public scorn
for doing the same thing in his state,
fijid now Gc-v. Gearv joins in with his
protest against the same outrage com
mitted in Pennsylvania, by the presi
dent, and calls upon the legislature to
give the matter its attention. We do
not know when we felt so humiliated
as when Grant was guilty of this in
famous act, and we are glad that Gov.
Geary, radical though he be, has the
manliness to denounce it in his annual
message.
But aside from this, the tyrannical
block-head who sits in the White
House already received the silent, un
mistakable condemnation of an outrag
ed and insulted people at the polls, in
every state into which he sent his bay
onets.
HELP. —Siuce we now have greatly
enlarged and improved the REPORTOR
—making it one of the best and
cheapest papers in the United States
—may we not ask our patrous to lend
us their assistance in increasing our
list of subscribers. We should be
pleased to have each of our subscrib
ers send us at least one or two new
names; this can be done without go
ing to any trouble, and would be
quite a help to the REPORTER.
Which of our patrons will be kind
enough to try?
Brown, savs in his last Republican, that he
was at Washington on 19th in*t. and got ac
quainted with "Gen. Walker," ana then
gives H long biography of "Gen. Walker."
This is undoubtedly the first time that
"Gen. Walker" was heard of, and we
think the last time, too. As Brown don't
make mention of the "big injun" Grant or
any other fellow, we suppose he didn't hap
pen to strike upon any other 'cuss but
"Gen Walker," who treated Brown to a
glass of lager, for which he now publishes
a biography of him.
A Washington correspondent says:
I have been shown a dispatch from Ra
leigh, North Carolina, of to-day's date, in
which it is stated, confidently, that Holden
will be convicted, although the "Republi
cans," so-called, have the strength to ac
quit him. • The death-bed confessions of a
negro, just deceased, show that all the
murders and "outrages" which have been
charged by Holden upon the Ku-Klux in '
Wake and adjoining counties were
perpetrated by negro ruffians belong
ing to the "loyal" Union League! The or
ganisation is known to have been under
the direct rule of Holden and those who 1
surround him. There can be no question
in the mind of any one that a parcel of I
scoundrels were let loose upon a defence- 1
less people by Ifoldeu for trie mere purpose 1
of manufacturing charges iqainst other 1
and innocent men.' It will be a lasting '
credit of the people of North Carolina if (
this man is not suflered much longer to re- 1
main at the head of the State Government. (

COMMON SCHOOLS.
j The report of the superintendent of com'
| mon schools shows that thero are now
! within the state 3,002 school districts ; 14,-
! 212 schoools; 2,892 graded schools ; 13,100
! directors; 79 county and other superinten
• dents. 17,612 teachers, and 928,891 pupils.
! This is an increase over the preceding year
|of 31 districts; 276 schools; 447 graded
schools; 200 directors; 3 superintendent;
1 470 teachers, and 13,138 pupils.
The cost of tuition for the past year was
$3,745 81; building, purchasing and renting
1 school houses, $2,760, 644 34; contingencies,
I $1,166,226 06; other expenditures. $95,476;
| inakinK a total of $7,71,761 20. Estimated
value of school property, $15,887,183.
I Average salary of male teachers.s4o6s per
! | months; length of school term, 6.06 months,
. and the cost per month of oach pupil 98
| cents.
I In addition to the above, five normal
j schools are recognized by the state. These
are intended specially to instruct in the art
i of teaching, and to furnish suitable teach
| ers for the common schools. The inanv
: highly qnalified instructors that have grad
uated therein, afford a sufficient assurance
of their success aud usefulness. They
- have aided materially in the rsnid advance
ment of our general and widely approved
educational system. Since their recogni
tion, 12,890 students have been received
into thero; and 2,675 are now enrolled.
There are 66 professors and tutors. The
libraries contain 8.135 volumes. The build
ings and grounds are valued at $864,667;
and the ftirniture and apparatus at $75,-
OUO.
Besides the schools t'rat receive legisla
tive support, there are in the state 601 pri
vate schools, seminaries and academics,
employing 848 teachers and having 24,-
825 students. The estimated value of their
property is SOOO,OOO, and the annual
amount received for tuition $380,000. There
are also thirteen colleges, with 167 pro
fessors and tulors, and 2.805 students en
rolled. They own much valuableprop
erty, and their libraries number 95,000 vol
vmes.
Soldiers' Orphans' Schools.
Your attention is respectfully invited to
the report of the superintendent of the sol
diers' orphans, schools, for the year ter
minating May 31, 1870.
Since the first organization of these
schools the whole number of children ad
mitted is 6,053. And during the sama pe
riod the discharges, including deaths,
amount to 1,524. leaving 3.529 in the
school* at the close of the year; ol whom
2,137 are in "graded,' 1 and*793 in "prima
ry schools," and 599 in "homes."
During the year terminating May 31,
1871, 493 of these will be discharged on age;
in 1872, 477; in '73, 699; in '74, 646; in f 75,
646; in '76. 602; in 77, 584; in '7B, 410; in
.79, 291; and in 80, the remainder. 171;
From this statemeatlt will be seen that all
the children now in the schools, on reach
ing the age of sixteen, will be discharged
in ten years on age alone. The reinforce
ments to the schools will hereafter consist
only of children born prior to January 1,
1866; consequently all who may hereafter
be admitted must come in during the next
ten years, and they will be more than ab
sorbed bv the discharges on order. The
number discharged tnis year on age is 400,
and on order 230, and 15 cave died, making
in all 645. Should the rapidity of the dis
charges on ordercontinue in anything like
the ratio of the present year, it will cot re
quire more than five years to exhaust the
greater portion of tne schools, and the
children remaining in them will fro.a time
to time have to be concentrated in a few of
the schools which shall be deemed the Lest,
to close up the concern.
The expenditures of the system for the
school year ending May 31 1870, are a* fol
lows, viz.
For education and maintanance
of childreu in' advanced
schools $283,900 67
For education and maintanance
of children in primary schools 101,475 58
For education and maintenance
of children in homes 65,266 42
For clothing, shoes, making,
mending, etc 63,993 75
For part al relief of thirteen
children at S3O each 390 00
For general expenses 9,100 00
Total expenses 514,126 42
Total appropriations 494,700 00
Balance $19,426 42
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
This institution appears to be gradually
accomplishing the objects tor which it has
been liberally endowed by the state. It
has about sixty students who are instruct
ed, not only in the ordinary branches of
literature and science, but in all tho field
operations necessary for a thorough agri
cultural education.
i The experimental farms, established un
| der the supervision of the officers, have
thus far answered their Expectations. The
experiments therein are carefully recorded;
every incident of cultivation, the nature of
the seed committed to the soil, its inception,
growth, progress ard results, together with
the conducing causes, being accurately
noted. The publication of these observa
tions, made in different parts of the state,
with various climates and soil, under the
guidance of skilled agriculturalists, will
impart valuable lessons for the benefit of
the practical farmer, and, doubtless, be the
means of establishing a "science of agri
culture," having its foundation in the wis
dom of experience. The report of the
trustees furnishes a full description of the
educational and financial condition of the
-ol leg-, together with the progress end re
*r.t* of the experimental farm* duriwg the
i" r in>t ended.

CO SSTtTUTIONAt. CONVENTION,
Four year*' experience as an executive
officer ha> given me abundant opportunity
fc c areful observation upon the working*
of < ,ur tbmlameutal law and the legixlation
!'4 the state. This experience ha strongly
! impressed me that there should be a thor
ough revision of the stateeon*titution, with
such amendment* a* the wisdom of a con
vention assembled for that purpose would
undoubtedly suggest and an enlightened
public sentiment demand.
ltuyouots at the Bolls.
The employment of United State*
troop* Ht election*, without the consent
of the local and slate government*,
has recently receiver! considerable at
tention and reprehension. It is re
garded as au interference with the
sovereign rights of the stales, which
was not contemplated by the founders
of the general government, and. if
persisted in, must lead to result disas
trous to peace and harmony. The
practice is one so serious in its charac
ter, and so injurious iu its tendencies,
as to merit prompt consideration and
decisive action, not only by the gene
ral assembly but bv congress. One of
the complaint* af the colonists against
the British King was the oppression
growing out of the assumption of this
power. They said, "He lias kept
among us iu times of peace standing
armies, without the cousent of our
legislature;" and, what is especially
pertinent to the ease in point. "He
has affected to render the military in
dependent of, and superior to the civil
power." The alleged authority for
the use of troops at our state elections
is derived from the teuth sectiou of au
act of congress, approved May dl, 1870,
entitled "An Act to enforee the right
of citizens of the United States to vote
in the several states in tl\e Union, aud
for other purposes,"' which authorizes
United States marshals to call to their
assistance, "such portion of the land
and naval forces of the United States,
or of the militia, as may be necessary
to the pcrforruauee of the duty with
which they are charged, aud to in
sure a faithful observance of the fif
teeuth amendment to the constitution
of the I'uiled States." But it must be
.* forced construction of this law that
v'ill justify the presence of armed na
tional forces at our places of election
wh en no necessity exists therefor, and
whore their presence is calculated to
provoke collision. With a good j
President, the exercise of the power I
referrvMl to might have no injurious,
results, but in the hands of a bad man, j
governed by personal ambition, it j
might pn >ve exceedingly calamitous, j
Uncouscio usly a good President might |
be iudueec' to employ it wrongfully ; a ,
bad cue w arid be almost certain to use j
it for bis own advancement. Under
any circums tauccs, in my opinion, it is
unsafe, and antagonistic to the princi-!
r pie* that should govern our republican
I institution*. At the last October elec-
Ition United States troops were station
ed iu Philadelphia for tne avowed pur
ixjse of enforcing the election laws.
r ) This was done without the cousent or
pi even the knowledge of the civil au
thorities of either the city or the state,
, and without any expressed desires on
j the part of the ci '-ixens; aud as far as
;) can be ascertained, without existing
necessity. From a conscientious con
l vietion of its importance, I have cal
, j led your attention to this subject. A
■! neglect to have done so might have
been construed as an endorsement of a
rj measure that meets my unqualified
i disapproval. The civil authorities of
Pennsylvania have always been, aud
I are still, competent to protect its citi
? zcus in the exercise of their elective
\ 1 franchise, and the propt r and only
f j time for United States military forces
- to intervene, will be when the power
p of the commonwealth isexhausted and
. j their aid is lawfully required.

I I INSURANCE. —In another column
e will he found the annnal statement of
" i the Penns valley Fire Ins. Co. from
• which it will be seen that the affairs
- are in a healthy condition. The risks
aud insurances of the company, in
• force at the present time, sum up three
I and a half million dollars. By look
• ing over the expenditures, the mem
. hers of the company will readily per
[ ceive, that greater economy could not
have been practiced, and we venture
to say that there is no other company
> in the United States, doing the same
! amount of busmess which is conduct
ed with as little expense, and in which
. the losses and assessments have been
less. Wc think it the duty of every
J property holder this side the county
' to become a member of our own home
company. There are not only
risks, but the affairs are conducted by
; our citizens, men whom we know and in
; whom we can repose confidence. Since
the organization of the company, some
fourteen years ago, not a single dollar
can be shown to have been misappro
priated, and the officers and directors
: have ever been faithful in the dis
| charge of their duties.
Congress Against Amnesty.
It is now pretty well conceded that an
amnesty measure will be adopted by the
present congress. The narrow minded
radicals cannot yet be made to see the poli
• cy of restricting the franchise as n means
ol party success. The attempt thus far has
cost them Missouri, North Carolina, Virgi
nia, West Virginia, Alabama, Florida and
Georgia. Some of the cooler heads are dis
posed to take warning from these results,
aud are in favor of proclaiming universal
amnesty for political offenses, but the ma
jority in congress have not gratified their
feelings of hatred and revenge. Instead of
granting pardon for the past offenses, they
want tnore reconstruction, more bayonet
rule, more f military despotism.
In an article in yesterday's Tribune, hea
ded, "Doth Not Wisdon Cry?" that paper
makes a plea for the republican party, be
ginning as follows:
"If wo could only bring the remaining
opponents of universal amnesty to com
prehend and meet the actual matter at issue—
if we could make them realize and admit
that we are not asking them to be magnani
mous, or merciful, or forgiving, or any
thing of the sort, but simply that they
should not overthrow the republican as
cendency by a most insane stupidity—we
could bring the controversy to a close with
in a month. We R.k of them not even that
they shall not commit suicide, if they will,
but that tliey shall not force the great par
ty of the Union to do so in defiance or its
own better judgment."
After giving the history of the political
contest in Missouri, the Tribune closes
thus;
We now ask the particular attention of
General Butler, Mr. Maynard' and their
remaining disciples, to the following official
returns or tho total vote of Missouri: For
governor—Gratz Brown, bolter and demo
crat, 104,374; M'Clurg, regular republican,
53,330. On restoring the right o! suffrage
to rcbles—yes, 127,643; no, 16,208. On re
storing to them the right to hold office—yes,
123,413; no, 18,005. On abolishing the test
cuth for jurors—yes, 131,490; no, 10,790.
Do we need any more of such bolting and
such voting to convince us that the day for i
■■■■ I'
disfrnnchisrment and proscription has
passed that the amnion i* no longer.

itself beneath their < uins T They ro*l u*
Virginia in lM( they have justc*t ti Mi
-■•uri and We** Virginia Shall they bo
Mindly uphold till wn have nothing loft t<>
lore ?"
But Mich strong argument* u* the above
will not move the radical blockhead* in
congroas to pursun a wiser eoiirae. They
fear that cuirancliisentent will he ntiiiou*
to their party. They want to narrow the
ritrlo of voter* to disrnfranehise those who
would be likely to vote again*! them, But
let the n now take whatever course they

We hear a good story of a uian who
r went to the frontier to see a friend.
The family consisted of the husband,
* his wife and two grown sons. The
1 good old lady was the only oue of the!
s family who did not take a little of the
* "O be joy Ail." Sitting by the fire a
few minutes, the old man tipped him a
wink, and the visitor followed him out.
L ! Stopping by a tree, he pulled out a
? ■ long-ueckcd bottle, remarking, "I have
JI to keep it hid, for the boys might get
' i to drinking, and the old woman would
| raise the deuce." They took a drink
! and returned to the fireside. Soon
' I Tom, the elder son, asked the visitor
* i out to sec a colt, and taking him be
hind the barn, palled out a flask, re
-1 j marking, "I have to keep this hid, for
' the old man will get drunk, and the
deuce is to pa)/'and they both took n
driuk and returned. Soon Hob step
ped on the visitor's toes and walked off
the visitor following. As they reached
„ the pig-pen, Bob drew out a good-sized
! bottle, remarking, "You know the old
1 man and Tom will get druuk, and I
; | have to hide this." The visitor con
! eluded he could -not stand it to drink
1 confidentially with the whole family,
and started for home.
