THUESPAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1867. Oitr Public Schools. Daring the past school year, 725.312 pupils have been in attendance at the vaiious public school? of the State a number nearly twico aa great s the population of California, eix times that oi' Delaware or Kansas, twice that of . Vermont or Jew Hampshire, and about equal to that of either Wisconsin, Texas, Mouth Carolina, New Jersey, Mississippi, Michigan, Maine, Maryland, or Iowa. The total number of teachers employed tor tho instruction of these children ia 16,141, or one teacher for every furty-five ppils. Exclusive of the city and county Philadelphia, tho percentage of atten dance ia fcix hundred and twenty-eight thousandths. That in, out of every hun dred pupils, something less than sixty three were in daily attendance. Supposing each school iu the State to be composed of forfy-tve pupils, only twenty-eight ere to be found daily within the school room. The absence of the remaining oentcen may x cause us to ponde Though tho fchool system of the State should present uo other problem, this one would be sufficient to occupy the'attention . f educators as well as others for at least five ycxrs to come. The question, indeed, of all questions concerning our e chools, is the one of increasing tho percentage of attendance so that it will range from eighty-five or Dinety per cent, to oca hundred. It is scarcely possible to mate plainer thau do these figures, the alarming nature of thin evil. Of tho thirty-seven absent ees out of each hundred, scarcely more than fifteen are detained from school by sickness or oJier sufficient cause. The other twenty-two are taking lessons (receiving their education) on tho street. Tuse twen'y-iwo absentees are our future vrxminah. In a few years, the laws of the State, as also the customs ot society, will recognize their criminality as determined, and they will be looked upon as a class of the great community as a low, depraved ciaas, but nevertheles-9 as a class whose ttatus is fixed beyond change. Even sugh of them as do not become steeped in crime will never rival in thrift, ia intelligence, in influence for good, those who daily attend the sessions of the school. As to the causes of this absenteeism, we hinfc ,thcy may.be divided into 1st, laxity cf parental'government ; 2nd. lack of interest in school affairs; Su, scarcity if well qualified, successful teachers ; 4th, natural avereion of soma children to any thing like study. In naming the first three causes of the Til, we imply the remedies tor all. We do not 6o much need legislation, as a higher standard of public opinion iu regard to the common schools of the State, 'and a very great increase in the number of well qualified teachers qualified in scholarship, in aptness to teach, in patience, iud all the virtues necessary to being a ftuccessful teacher. Legislation which tends to secure cither of these resulis, or both of them, should bo hailed vnth de'iht, but no act ot legislation, nor any amount of it, can supersede the necessity of waking up the people to a lively interest in school affairs, nor of increasing the fitness of those engaged in the teachers' aliiog. Give us humane, patient, well educated, active teacher?, who fairly com prehend what it 'm to teach, and we have no fear that the improvement in attend ance will be so reat as to make glad the heart of every friend the ecbool system has. "But io get these teachers that's the question ; and to this end, two sug gestions, one from State Superintendent Wickershaui alone, and the other from the convection of County Superintendents nd the State uperintondeut together, are aor before tho Legislature, which to our taied wii! tend greatly to hasten the our schools than such work and the in creasing of the grade of the school cer tificate, bo as to exclude entirely from the profession -the more incompetont. We can see no reason to object to com pulsory education so farae the exercise of authority is concerned, but we may well inquire if a child can be expected to do much good at its studies when its parents send it there unwillingly ! And forego ing all thought of forcing attendance, we offer the opinion that a vigorous use of the means at hand will work wonders, and if the Legislature add to these the two changes advocated by the Stato Superin tendent and the Superintendents of the counties, all tho better. But uo bgisla tion, we may say it at the risk of repeti tion, can take tho placo of increased efficiency ot teachers aud interest among the people. Savages. Hon. 31. 8. Quay, of Heaver, has introduced into the House cf Kepiesenta tives at Harrisburg a resolution to call a convention to amend tho Constitution of desired reiuit if -jnaia part of the chco2 j big Commonwealth. His resolution de- law of the Stale. J. he first suirsestion is The Indians are becoming troublesome on the plains. About a month since, some fifty of the soldiers garrisoning Fort Phil. Kearney, an advauce$.putpo8t, were decoyed into an ambush by the red-skins, and were cruelly murdered." Since then, they have been growing fiercer and more defiant, as though tho taste of blood in dulged iu had only whetted their appetite for a feast. It is reported that 12.000 are ou the war path, and endless priva tion and suffering are foretold for the settler?. United States troops in consid erable uumbers are being sent forward for their protection. The cause of these troubles is in some measure to be found iu the faithlessness of the Government, or rather its agents. By the terms of treaties entered into with the Indian?, the Government is obligated to pay to them certain suras of money yearly ; but through tho dishonesty of Governmental agents, scarcely oue dollar out ot every ten reaches the hands of those for whom intended. Hence, the Indians have come to look upon these treaties aa so many promises made to the ear to be broken to the hope, and, obeying their savage instincts, they seek revenge for the seeming treachery of the pale face by rushing into deeds of cruelty and bloodshed. On the principle that the "star of em pire" must not be allowed to be obstructed ia its westward eourae, not a few newspa pera urge that the "stamping out" process be applied to the aborigines. Side, by side with the account of the Indian troubles, we read that a rebel re volt has occurred iu Bowie cour.ty, Texas. The unreconstructed of that section have ri.een vp against the Union men, and are butchering them like so many dogs. A icoman. is among their victims. Other reports of a similar character come up from various quarters of the South. Now, the Indian is a savage, by an ordi nance of the Almighty, and he only obeys an instinct strong as the love of life itself when he indulges in bloodshed, es pecially wheu, as in this case, he is moved thereto by real or fancied injuries received. The rebel, on the other hand, is held by popular consent to be civilized, while he has not even the poor excuse of revenge to offer aa a palliation for his atrocities committed upon Union men. Surely, after the favors and kindnesses heaped by the North upon the South, it will not be said that the latter has cause for vindictive feeling? against the former. It must therefore follow that while the Indian kills as part of the business of his life, the rebel kills as pastime. It may be right to "stamp out" the Indians. But if so, it would be a hard question to determine why, by the same rule, we should not also aud at the same same time "stamp out" the revolting rebels of Bowie couuty, Texas. that the cumber of Superintendents be increased so that icstcao! of one State j defin:njr the qualifications of voters Suttfrintendent. there bo BV. the outies of the additional one being the visitation of the schools and the teachers' institutes, tod that in each county tho district Superintendent for whom the law nor ny.s the object of the convention to be to strike the word "tchite" from the clause Rc- membefirJg that it was ou Pennsylvania soil that the immortal maxim was first promulgated that "all mcu are created free and cfjik'lf" it is a shame and dis grace that tbi'? qualification, begot of make provision be selected by the direc- J fe and aristocracy, was not long since tors from among the fcuccessful teachers, j 6tncj-en frcm our organic law.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at its flood, leads to fortune," saith Shakpeare.

The Freeman pitched into Mr. John J. Glass last week with a vim absolutely as tounding. The evident intention was to pul verize the gentleman into infinitesimality. If Glass was demolished, it is an exeiupljnca tion of the lact that a bull may once in a while get into a china shop. Saturday las, was Candlemas day. An oil Scotch adage rhymes thus : "If Candlemas day be dry and fair,. The half o' winter's to come and mair; If Candlemas day be wet and foul. The half o' winter's gaue at Yule." Saturday was wet and foul as rain and slush could make it; wherefore, winter must be more than half over. Rejoice ! What is the weight of a fool ? A simple ton. The Alleghanian. If John J. Glass' petition,, was prepared where we are told it was a better answer would have been a Single-ton. Freeman. Seeing that somebody has "shut up- the eye" of the Freeman with regard to the au thorship of Mr. Glass' petition, probably the very best answer would be a Johns-ton. Jubal Early, in his "Last Year of the War," says of the burning of Chambersburg: "Far this act, I alone am responsible, as the officers engaged in it were simply executing my orders, and had no discretion left them." Has, oh f has Jubal been pardoned yet? If not, aM possible haste should bt made to ex tend the soft mantle of amnesty around, him, for he may be needed by some .conserva tive" Southern constituency asa Congre3S raun at the n?U election.' Governor Geary has promulgated (he following excellent rules to apply to the granting of pardons : First. No pardon will be granted until notice of the application therefor shall have ben given by publication, once a week for two consecutive weeks, in a newspaper printed in the county ia which the conviction was had. Second. No pardon will be granted unless notice of the application shall have been given" to the judge who tried the cause, to the district attorneyi or to the attorney who-prosecuted, proof cf which notice shall be furnished this Department. Third. All applications for pardon must have with them tho following papers, written in a clear and distinct hand : 1. A certified copy of the whole record, including docket entries, minutes of court, copy of indictment, pleaa, and all other papers on file in the court relating to the case. " 2. A full statement of the reasons upon which the application is based, setting forth all the facts j the notes.of evidence taken on trial j letters from responsible persons in the community where the crime was committed j a recommendation from 'the-jurors who sat on the trial, aud if any of them refuse to recommend a pardon, reasons given for such refusal ; letter from the district attorney or counsel who tried the case; 'and a letter from the judge, setting forth his views upon tho subject of the application. Fourth, llecommeadations for pardon for unexpired terms of sentence, must havs a copy of tha whole record as before required. Also, a copy of commitment, petition from prisoner setting forth rea sons, and statement from warden and inspectors of prison. Filth. No personal application will be permitted. Sixth. AU of tbe above papers, when submitted, must be accompanied by a printed copy of same, in pamphlet form, twelve copies of which, at least, must be sent, to this Department. If the parties are too poor, the paper book need not be printed. Seventh. As these rules are intended to wubserve tho administration ot justice, they will hs strictly enforced, and relaxed only when good reasons shall be furnished for so dointr. John W. Geary. Executive Chamber, ") Harrisburo, Jan. 31, 1867. j State Agency; at Washington. Col. Stewart, the new Military Ageut at Washington, publishes the following card announcing his preparedness to attend to of ncial duties : "liy order of his excellency John W. Geary, Governor of Peunsylvnnia, notice is hereby given that the Pennsylvania estate Acvicy, at vv ashingtou, 1). C., will atteud with promptness, and without '"charge, t-n the adjustment of the claims of 6oldidrs for pensions, bounties, etc., from the United States, as well as to those of widows, orphans, and other relatives. That chims can be sent directly to the parties interested in them, or, if they prefer it, through local agents or attorneys. The Agency ' was originated for the benefit of tho living soldiers aud the widows and orphans of those who died in defence of the country; and it is tho special desire of the Governor that it be continued for the meritorious purposo for which it was established, and that no effort be omitted to increase its efficiency. Blanks and instructions can be furnished. "Communications may be addressed, 'Pennsylvania State Agency, Washington, D. C, lock box 71.'" The Late Storm. The hurricane blasts of the late storm had the effect of ub ptructing the tracks ot the Peuna. railroad, along the Conemaugh Slackvrater, t-ome j distance west ot Johnstown. At this j point, for the distance of about two miles, the Miow drifted upou tho track very rapidly, and a force of some two hundred men was necessary to keep it clear. Tho wind was so strong that the snow occu-: mulated on the track at the rate of about one foot per hour, although very little snow was falling from the clcuds, the greater portion being carried from the high ground adjacent. This space of two milos had to be cleared off, it whole length, no less than three times on Satur day, to allow the passage ot trains. After the "wind fell, the obstruction ceased, and the men returned to this city. The pres ent winter has been very severe ou the railroads, involving very considerable outlays for the removal of snow and ice, and the repairing of wrecks, etc., caueed by enow blockades. Notwithstanding these drawbacks and disadvantages, the trains on the Pennsylvania Hail road, especially those carrying passenger?, have been run with great regularity, and with extraordinary immunity from fatal acci dents. Pitts. Chron. It is known that Mr. J. L. Motley, American Minister to Austria, has re gipned his portfolio of office, and that Mr. Edgar Cowan, ha been named for the position in his stead by the President. The cause of the withdrawal of Mr. Mot ley has just come to light. It appears that some busybody traveling in Europe reported to the Secretary of State that Mr. Motley waa not a "my policy" man, but, on the contrary, that he waa an un conquerable radical. Mr. Seward wrote a rather impertioent letter to Mr. Motley, demanding to .know if this were the case. Mr. Motley replied that it was true that he did not and could not endorse the President's scheme of reconstruction and. wound up by tendering his resigna tion. His course will commend iUelf to the people as that of a good man and in corruptible patriot. The fact that uo murder was com mitted in Memphis one day last ivok in j set down m a tingnlar circumstance. Tbe Case of Rev. W, E. Evans. by request. We, the undersigned, Elders of the Welsh Christian Church, south, Ebensburg, Cam bria co Pa., to whom was entrusted the investigation of the sad affair connected with Elder W. E. Evans, are now prepared to announce to the world the result of our investigations. The committee spared nei ther time nor labor in order to find out all the facts touching the matter, and have learned (independent of the woman's confes sion of naving administered poison to her nu3oana at iour different times, and of her having surrendered the remainder of the poison in her possession,) that all the state ments made by Evans in the case are true, and are fully established by many credible witnesses, so that there is no room for the least doubt to linger in the minds of tbosa who are acquainted with the affair, with re gard to the guilt of the woman. In the opinion of the committee, Evans is not only exonerated from blame, but is entitled to our highest regard and esteem for such an exalted exhibition of forbearance and christian spirit. The church at this place, in harmouy with the church at Diamondville, Indiana co., hold themselves responsible for recommen ding our beloved brother to the confidence and support of the brethren abroad, as an able and faithful minister of the Gospel. R. T. DAvirs, Ksxs E. Kees. Ebensburg, Feb. 4, 1867. Diamondville, Pa. The Christian Congregation of Diamond-j ville, Indiana county, Pa., to the brethren ! scattered abroad, send greeting : This is to certify that we believe our be loved brother, Wm. E. Evans, is a man of truth and honesty, and that his character, walk and ' conversation comport with his christian profession, and after Laving passed through affliction's furnace, exhibits a spirit of foibearance, of love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, &c, and we feel ourselves willing to be lesponsible for commending him to the conlidence of the brethren abroad.

I was acquainted with what transpired wLia the doctors were called in, as he lay under my roof and in the care of my family, and I am tree to state that I think him a just man, and one that fears God, and as a useful minister of the Gospel, should be kept in tbe field.
