VVe print on cur outside page an article
from the pen of State Superintendent
Coburn concerning the qualifications nec
essary in bounty Superintendents, that
every director, and every person interested
in school afiairs, and wishing success to
tho system, should carefully read.
Scarcely more thau a month will elapse
until the Directors throughout the State
will meet in the county-seats of their re
spective counties, to commit for three years
the cause of our educational system into
the hands of either competent or incom
petent men. What kind of a man will
we 'have in Cambria county? Above and
before all things else, let us have the best
man that can "be bad, a properly educated
man, an experienced and successful teach
er, a man of good judgment and discreet
action. We need, under all circumstan
ces, an industrious, competent, faithful
-Superintendent, but now more than ever.
3Jany of our schools are lagging behind
tho age, but still getting nearer and nearer
to what ihey should be. The. Superin
tendent now to be elected, should not
only have the will, but the capacity, of
getting our backward schools closer and
closer to the front rank.
We have some very good, very success
ful teachers, throughout the county, some
that are steadily moving on toward the
first rank, and others who, in all honesty
and kindness toward them, are unfit to
Lava charge of a school. The first cla.3
are essential to the County Superintendent
in working with him in localities where
they arc teaching, and in the man
agement of institutes; the second need
somo one quick to perceive their good
points, and equally quick to see their
errors and correct them in a, becoming
manner; ad the third require one that
can lead and advise them. But all, to the
end of harmony and success, should have
over them a3 the first school officer of the
county a man who will command respect
becau-e of his attainments, who is a good
practical and theoretical teacher, proven
bo by actual and thorough trial in the
echools of the first giade, and who, at an
institute, whether district or county, can
itep forward ai,d take the lead.
When so many of our schools are filled
with young, inexperienced teachers, the
man at the head should be of enlarged
experience and known capability, for upon
his shoulders will rest the task of organi
zing a corps ot teachers fit for the times.
To fchow the number of inexperienced
teachers now in cur tchools, we publish
the following figures : Iu 18G1, the num
ber of male teachers in the county was
114, end of female 38 ; in 18C3, male
teachers 82, and female 81 ; and in 1SG5,
of the former SO, and the latter 1C2.
Some of the remaining thirty male teach
ers are doubtless also novices in the pro
fession. So that wc are safe in saying
that not cne-founh the teachers of the
county are guided by the light of expe
rience. Directors, reflect ! For the sake
of our echoo'.s, our boys, our girls, lay
politics, personal favor, and all minor
things, tside, that the county may have
the best man to be bad for its next Super
intendent of schools.
The Democratic Convention that met in
ilarrkburg, on the 5th inst., said iu it3
sixth resolution :
"That the bold enunciation cf the principles
of the Constitution, and the policy of resto
ration contained in the recent annual uud
freedmen's bureau veto messages of President
Johnson, entitles him to the confidence and sup
port of all u io respect the Constitution and love
their country."
..They also appointed and sent a com
mittee to Washington to wait on the
Presidect and "endorse" certain of Lis
actions, and ot course to et direct or indi
rect endowment in return. The coir niit
tco the other day obtained an Audience,
and after presenting him with the fore
going resolution, were assuring him they
intended no empty compliment; but he
cut ceremonies veryJiort by saying, "the
wisest thing they could do was to go home
and change their ticket." Some of the
country people who only now and then
eeo the papers, think that in 18G3 31r.
Clymer found no man so foul a3 A. John-1
ton, Esq., now President, and that the j
litter retains a distinct recollection of the j
occurrence. This quarrel is between the
Vict'vtent ar.d his Fupportcrs. (?)

Tennessee Unionists.
Horace Maynard and Col. Stokes, Rep
rescntatives elect from Tennessee, and
Senator Fowler, from the same State, have
gone to Connecticut-to canvas for General
Hawley, Union nominee -for Governor,
against English, the candidate of Copper
head Democracy. The Democracy claim
to have the President's support. The
fact is, however, that the President takes
neither side of the Connecticut contest.
But these thiee Tennessee Unionists do
take sides, and the side of Congress and
the people. If the President can not rally
round him the true msn of his own State,
what must he expect from tho whole
North ?
The Income Tax.
There being no probability that Con
gress will take action with reference to
amending tho Income Tax in time to
affect the next assessment, tho Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue has begun the
preparation of blanks under the law as it
now stands. The Assessors and Assistant
Assessors are to be instructed to get
ready immediately for assessment.
Justice to I'enuMjlvanla.
The bill appropriating SJOO,000 to
Pennsylvania, to reimburse her for her
expenditures in paying the troops mustered
into the Stata service in 1863, to assist in
repelling Lee's invading army, passed the
House of Representatives on Friday, the
23d inst., after but brief debate.
A 111 fie rent View.
From the Ilollidaysburg Register.
Last week, at the suggestion of a gen
tleman, who has taken some interest in
the case,- we published the following
"personal." As for ourselves, we know
nothing about the case referred to except
the fact of the conviction and what we
learn frcm these two accounts of it:
"Wm. M'Creery, pardoned out of the
Penitentiary to testify in the case the
Commonwealth agaiust Buser and'Houser,
tried in Cambria county for the murder
of Pollie Paul and Cassie Munday, has
been arrested in Erie for passing coun
terfeit money. He seems to be an incor
rigible scamp. It is scarcely safe to haug
a dog on the testimony ot such a witness,
yet these two men were convicted upon
the testimony ot this wretch.
Since the publication of this, we have
received the following communication
from an eminent legal gentleman, who
happened to be present and was an impar
tial observer of the trial :
March 17th, 1SGG. A'ar Sir: In
the last Register, I find a paragraph in
relation to the reported arrest of Wm.
M'Creery, who was a witness on the
Houser and Buer tnal, which I had
noticed in other papers, but without the
concluding sentence, which appears to be
jour own. "it is scarcely sale to Lang a
dog on the testimony of such a witness,
j et these two men were convicted upon the
testimony of this wretch.
Assuming tnat an "arrest and a charge
of crime fixes Al'Creery's guilt (although
there :s presumption as old as the common
law that every man is innocent until con
victed,') a few facts will show what grave
injustice may thus be thoughtlessly done
to those who have the responsibility' of
administering criminal justice, and what
"aid and comfort" may be thus rendered
to two of as unmanly murderers as ever,
in my opinion, shed human blood. I
never saw a better jury empanneled on a
homicide case.
1. It is not true that "these two men
were convicted on the testimony of this
v. retch." His testimony' was but a part
of the evidence; and was in perfect har
mony with the testimony of many other
witnesses, and thefore corroborated by it.
2. His statement was of such a char
acter, that it was and is difficult to see
how he could have invented it if there
had been any disclosed motive to do so.
3. The warden was so well satisfied of
the truth of the disclosure made by M'
Creery, immediately after the murder,
that he joined in recommending his par
don for the purpose of testifying in the
case.
4. I have since learned that it was a
question of expediency, which was d un
considered, whether M'Creery, or one of
several other convicts, should be taken out
of prisou to prove the same or like fact;
and M'Creery was selected, because Inn
conduct had been good in prison and his
term nearly expired.
5. In two communications published
by Ruscr in The Al'.cghanian since the
conviction, he vents all his malice in abuse
of other witnesses, without one word
airainst 31"Creery, or one denial of his
statement. ;
m m
The Reading Journal, published at the
home of Heister Clymer, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, says;
"Against Mr. Clymer, personally, we
have nothing to pay against him politic
ally, we will have much to say in the
course of the campaign, flis lecord,
fortunately for the people, is a public one,
and he cannot hide it. He teas the Val
hmdigham of I'tnnsylcanix throughout the
tear, and when his votes, his speeches,
his acts, are thoroughly ventilated, and
the people and especially the returned
soldiers some to know his political statu.",
he will meet with a condemnation scarcely 4
le3 overwhelming than was that which
befell Vallandigharo, when he ran for a
fimPar office, two year3 ago, inthe Buck
?e State."
Our Ilarrisburgr JLetter.
Harrisburo, March 2G, 18GG.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
Another week has passed without hav
ing given birth to any measure of more
than ordinary importance in the line of le
islation. It is true, the most important
bill of the session that in which the
whold people of the Commonwealth have
the greatest interest the General Appro
priation Rill, baa been reported andSacted
upon in the House, but no one can tell,
at this stago of action upon it, what may
bo its exaof shape when it reaches the
Executive for his approval. The disa
greements between the two Houses, on
this bill, invariably go to a Committee of
Conference, who patch it up and make
report, which report is, in all instances,
adopted. There is one feature inthe bill,
as it passed the House, that deserves no
tice, and that is, that the pay of Senators
and Representatives ha3 been again in
creased, making it One Thousand .Dol
lars for the present Session. So fat-as
pay is concerned, the motto of members
seems to be "Excelsior" "onward and
upward." It is much to be regretted that
the same does not apply to honesty and
purity in the business of law-making
There is, on the. contrary, a kind of sli
ding scale connected with this matter.
f bile "pay" goes -up, "honesty" and
"purity" go down. A few years ago, the
maximum pay of a member of the Legis
latures wai about four hundred dollars for
the Session. Then, (to use a flash phrase,)
"by a single turn of trhe wrist," it was
made seven hundred dollars. Now,
by a double turn of the same, it is proposed
to make it tho even one thousand dol
lars and mileage, being about ten dol
lars per day. This is pretty rough on a
people who are now willingly submitting
to an enormous taxation to pay the debt
necessarily contracted by the Government
to put down an unholy rebellion and there
by perpetuate our glorious Union.
The following bill has passed both
branches. It is a general bill, applying
to every county in the Commonwealth.
As it changes the manner of voting in
your county, I give it to you entire:
Sec. I. Be it enacted, etc., That the quali
Sed 0ter3 cf the several coanties of this
Commonwealth, at all general, township,
borough and special elections, are hereby
hereafter authorized and required to vote by
tiekets printed of written, or partly printed
and partly written, severally classified as i
follows: One ticket shall embrace the names
of all judges of courts voted for, and to be
labelled outside '-judiciary one ticket shall
embrace tli3 names of all State officers Toted
for, and be labelled ''State;" one ticket shall
embrace the naaie3 of all county oCicers voted
for, including otiice of Senator and me nler or
members of Assembly, if voted fcr, and mem
bers of Congress, if voted for, and be labelled
"county ;" one ticket shall embrace the names
ot all township ofticers voted for, and be la
belled "township ;'' one ticket shall embrace
the names of all borough ofiicers voted for,
and be labelled "borough and each cla33
be deposited in separate ballot boxes.
Sec. 2. That it shall be tho duty of the
sheriffs in the several counties of this Com
monwealth to insert, in their elcctiou procla
mation hereafter issued, the first section of
this act.
It appears that Congress is about doing
justice to Pennsjlvania, by reimbursing
her the 800,000 advanced to pay the
militia, called out by the Governor, at the
solicitation of the President, to drive back
the Rebel invaders in loo J. This money
was borrowed by the Governor, from the
Ranks ot the State, and, as Congress was
so tardy in making provisions for its pay
ment, the Legislature authorized it to be'
paid out of the State Treasury. Much
credit is due tothat old war-horse, Hon'.
Thaddeus Stevens, for this act of simple
justice to his State lie had the bill in
charge, and passed it through the Houe
of Representatives, in the face of a most
violent opposition. I have cot seen a li-t
of the yeas -and nays, but I have uo doubt,
he was ''backed up" by the .vote of jour
trusty and attentive member, Hon. A. A.
Rarker.
Thcro is another proposition before
Congress, in which many in your section
of the State have a deep interest. I allude
to the equalization of bounties. The
modus operandi of reaching this desirable
'consummation has not, as yet, assumed a
definite shape. One proposition is to
piace the volunteers who enlisted iu 1801
and 1802 on the same footing as those
who enlisted in after years; while another
is to allow the former a monthly pay of
eight and one-third dollars per month for
the time served. I hope the former prop
osition will prevail, with a provision that,
in cases in which companies or individuals
who had been regularly mustered into the
service ot the United States for three
years, and who were afterwards honorably
discharged, by order of the War Depart
ment or other competent authority, shall
receive the benefits of all the laws grant
ing military bounties,- notwithstanding the
term of service of said companies or indi
viduals may have been for a less time than
tico years. This would be doing justice
to many who had enlisted for three years,
or during tho war, who had been accep
ted and mustered into the United States
service for specific duty, aud who, by no
act of theirs, were mustered out before
the expiration of two years, thereby being
deprived ot one hundred dollars bounty
provided by the act of 1SG2. It would
also give them the same bounty as that of
all other volunteer recruits of 18G1 and
18G2 that is proposed by the first propo
sition which 1 have named. I hopo your
Representative, Hon. A. A. Rarker, who
did so much iu assisting in the organiza
tion of the several military companies in
your countj from the beginning of the
war, will direct his attention to this.
Roth political parties seem to be pre
paring tor the coming Gubernatorial
campaign in this State. There cannot
be the semblance of a doubt as to tho
'success of Maj.-Gen. John V. Geary.-
The signs in the political horizon all por
tend bis election. An unswerving deter
mination is manifested on' the part of the
masses to do honor to the soldier, patriot,
and honest man. All who enjoy his per
sonal acquaintance must admit that, in
the event of his election, his administra
tion will be characterized by honcstj' and
ability. Moreover, it will be a liberal
administration marked by a determina
tion to "do justice" to all men "though
the heavens should fall." The rights of
the minority will be respected, and those
of the majority will be inflexibly main
tained. I predict for him an unpreceden
ted majority. -
In a few weeks, there will be o cleaning
out in the offices of Auditor Genera! and
Surveyor General. Then every Depart
ment on the Hill will be under Republi
can control. The responsibility of that
party will be great, but it will be found
to be equal to the emergency. Your
correspondent has not. the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance with General Har
tranft, the Auditor General elect. If,
however, human testimony be a ground of
belief, he certainly possesses all the requi
site qualifications for the very important
office to which he has been elected.
Rumor hath pointed out a few of his
mteuded appointees. If it be correct that
ho designs selecting Gen. M'Call, late of
the army, Mr. Barns, now of the Roard of
Military Claims, and Mr. Davis, recently
of the Surgeon General's Office, I can
aver, from an intimate acquaintance with
these gentlemen, that they are, individu
ally and collectively, admirably qualified
for positions in that Department.
As to the future Chief of the Survey
or General's Office, j-our readers want no
endorsement. Col. Jacob M. Campbell is
too well known to the people of Cambria
county to require outside testimony in his
behalf. He is one of yourselves, aud is
favorably known to all of you ; jea, even
to hia political opponents. 11 is success in
life has been the result of prudence, econ
omy, industry, and honesty, all of which
have been controlled by sound common
sense. JMow, these characteristics are just
uch as should distinguish a Surveyor
General. Col. Campbell will make a moht
ponular officer. His new position willj
brinf; him in contact with the leading men
from every section of the State, who can
not fail to appreciate his admirable quali
ties of heart and head. Col. C uupbell is
man in the prime of lire. His public
career is not going to be terminated uy a
three years' service in the Survejor GeL
eral's office. The are other important
tositions, in advance of the one to which
he has been elected. Let him bide his
time, aud bear in mind that tho people
are apt to discover aud to reicard merit.
I have uot heard of any one being fixed
upon for place under the incoming Sur
veyor General. Oao thing, however, is
expected ot him, and that is, that there
will be a cleaning-out of the Augean
Stable. The fossil fixtures in that De
partment should have leave to retire into
the shades of private life. Whenever men
in public office begin to think (and mani
fest by their actions that they do so think)
that they, and they alone, are qualified to
administer the affairs of any Department
of the Government, it is time to let them
know utherwise. I write this, uot in the
spirit of dictation, but merely as a reflec
tion of public sentiment. You us, u,c.
Gen. Grant asid tlie JE'iesIdency.
A Remarkable Storj.
no part
Congress
ag-iins
The Galena (111.) Daily Gazette of the
14th inst. has an article evidently written
by Gen. Graut's immediate friend, ealled
forth by the fact that "some time since a
Republican and Union meeting in the city
of Rochester, N. Y.', had nominated Lieu
tenant General Graut as the Union can
didate for the Presidency in 18C8." It
is very significant. While the attempt
to nominate the General for that office is
characterized as "premature agitation,"
the writer states that "his friends look
forward with pride and hope to the time
wheu he shall receive the highest office
which can be bestowed upon him by a
grateful people, as a reward for the ines
timable services he has rendered his
country' The article says that "he takes
with the I'resiaeut as against
, and no part with Congress as
t the President." II is "omciai
are his present platform. "His
views in rcard to the frecdmcn'a bureau
and the keeping the troops in the rebel
States are recorded." "His orders for
the protection of Union men in the South,
his suppression of dislojal papers in the
South, and his opinion of disloyal papers
in the North, arc also on record." "His
written declaration, nearly three months
in advance of Mr. Lincoln's immortal
proclamation that slavery should be wiped
out before the war ended, is well known
to all intelligent men." This important
declaration is succeeded by an italicized
passage, which is as follows :
"We know that all General Grant's
hopes and sjmpathies are with the great
and patriotic Union party of this country.
In feelins and in sentiment he is strongly
identified' with the millions of lojal peo
ple, who, in the long years of war and
carnage and blood, gave their hearts,
their blood, and their treasure to their
country. He has neither sympathy nor
toleration for any party, nor any set of
men, who.were against the country in its
terrible time of trial and peril through,
which it has safely passed."
2? General Rurnside has been nomi
nated as the Union candidate for Governor
in Rhode Island.
CSyGen. Scth Williams, formerly Ad
jutant General at Washington, died in
Boston on the 23d.
Some time since, a fellow named Ster
ling King was arrested and committed to
jan m jjouisvine, iy. in oraer to raise
a sensation, doubtless, he has confessed
that he is the person who assassinated
President Lincoln and attempted to kill
becretary Seward. No faith whatever
can be placed in his statement, but as
matter of interest we condense the follow
ing particulars from the Louisville Dcvio-
crat
"King states that he was the man who
killed President Lincoln. He sajsTtbat
no entered the theatre as any other per
son, purchasing a ticket and pajingforit.
At the appointed time he entered the
private box in Ford'-s theatre, Washington,
where Mr. Lincoln wad, and shot him
with a single-barreled pistol, which he let
fall at the time he leaped from the box.
He gives as his object for using a single
barreled pistol that he was compelled to
leave it behind him, and if it had been a
revolver those in the box might have used
it against him. He further says that after
he shot the President and leaped from the
box ha passed by several persons, but one
ot whom he kuew Miss Laura Keene
and she did no' know him. According
to his statement, J. Wilkes Rooth, whom
it is said was the murderer of Lincoln,
was in the rear of the theatre awaiting with
horses.
"From the vicinity of Ford's Theatre,
he states that he went to the residence of
Secretary Seward, and, after forcing an
entrance, ho made an attack upon the
Secretary himself, cuttiug hiui in the
throat with a bowie-kuifc. He says that
after voung Seward was knocked down,
the old man begged not to be murdered,
and that he struck the blow to silence
him. His only regret seems to ba that
he did not kill the Secretary. Ho sajs
that the statement published !u the papers
that there were two persous in the affair
is ialse, as he is the man who shot the
President and made the attack upon Sec-
retarj' fee ward. iJe say a there was anoth
er person in the atiair, who has not jet
been apprehended, who was to have killed
Stantou, but he failed to fulfil his pledge."

Hon'. Fuancis Joudan, late State
agent for this State in Washington, has
been made Chairman of the Union State
Executive Committee.- The appointment
appears to give general satisfaction. Col.

loyal Pennsvlvanians to the grave ot Hon.

raiHE LADY OCULIST.
JL Miss LAURA LE SUER, M-ho?e suc

Pittsburg and vicinity for the "last seven
years, has now taken rooms at the residence
yf Mrs. Stalilt High st., LbeL'sburg, Cambria

two of the most lingering and painful dis

which proceed some of the most fearful dis

These are facts, and facts are said to be
