CARLISLE, P.
FRIDAY, JUNE S. 1866.
S. M. PItTTENOILI. & CO.,
NO. 37 Park Row, New York, and 6
State St. Boston, are our Agents for the HERALD
n those dries, and are authized to take Advertise
: ate and Suhsoriations for us or at our lowest rates.
FOR GOVERNOR,
Gen. JOHN W. GEARY,
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
The absence of MR. RIIREM and the in
convenience and delay caused by the result
of the fire on Tuesday evening, will, we
trust, be sufficient excuse for the many sins
of omission which our readers might
otherwise justly charge to the account of
the HERALD this week. The fire did not
reach the office it is true, but the efforts
of the firemen to subdue the flames gave
us such a deluge of water as printing es
tablishments aro seldom-, favored with.
Everything about the concern that would
take water at all was entirely saturated;
the copy in hand was destroyed or mis
laid and for want of time we were forced to
fill up with whatever came first to hand.
Consequently a number of articles and se
lections intended for this issue could not ap
pear. We have, however, got every thing
right and as we hope to escape incendiarism
for a little while, there being no immediate
danger of another matrimonial escapade by
any ono prominently connected with the es
tablishment, wo will promise our readers
better things hereafter than we give them
this week.
THE RIGHT TO VOTE
The people of West Virginia, by a direct
vote, have adopted a Constitutional Amend
ment, provident that rebels shall not exer
cise the right of suffrage in that Common
wealth. With this result the Conservatives
are not satisfied. If they admit that Crime
works a forfeiture of political rights, they
do not consent that Treason is the highest
Crime known to the laws, or any Crime
at all.
But they should remember how decidedly
they have denied the power of Congress
to regulate voting, ; how persistently they
ed rights of the States ; how adroitly they
have maintained that the right of suffrage
is not natural, and may he withheld from
Women. negroes, aliens, and other cla , ses
without any infraction of immutable justice.
The peopleof West Virginia having taken
the Conservatives at their word, they ought
not to complain. But another consideration
enters into this case. In the month of
July, 1861, the Convention of Virginia,
which represented both the present States
or that name, passed ordinance in these
words :
" That any citizen of Virginia holding
office under the Government of the United
States after the 31st of July, 1861, snonLD
BE FOREVER BANISHED FROM TILE STATE
AND DE DECLARED AN ALIEN ENEMY ; and
that any citizen of Virginia hereafter Un
dertaking to represent the State of
in the Congress of tins United States, should,
in addition to the shove penalties, BE CON
SIDERED GUILTY Ur TREASON AND HIS
==l
What the Loyal men of West Virginia
have now done, is mildness itself in com
parison with what the rebel,, in the days
of their power, did by them. The nun who
passel that ordinance, or justified or excused
it after it was passed, ought to utter no wail
at what as now been done in amending the
Constitution of West Virginia.
General Ho WARD, in his letter to the
Secretary of War, says the report of Gen
erals STEADMAN and FULLERTON on the
affairs of the bureau in 'Virginia and North
Carolina was never referred to him officially,
and he knows nothing of it, except having
seen it in public prints. Ile further remarks
that, as a mistake seems to prevail, to the
effect that he has sought, by the publication
of a private letter, to screen certain agents
from the consequences of the offences char
ged against them, he wishes to say that said
letter was written prior to the publication
of STEADMAN and FULLERTON 's report, and
only intend to vouch for the officers referred
to in the private letter received. Ile shrinks
from no investigation, bnt earnestly desires
to bring every officer and agent who shall
be guilty of any dereliction of duty or com
plicity in crimes to swift justice. Ile be
this can be effected better by having
the same officer in every State charged with
the duties of assistant commissioner and
military commander, and adds that his views
upon these points are set forth briefly in his
circular No. 4.
In conclusion he says: " Allow me to call
your, attention to the fact that the majority
of those officers complained of are officers
selected from the army, generally of excell
ent record, and always vouched for by men
of the highest standing. in the community.
I oai•enstly recommend that hereafter a fair
trial be allowed ehry officer accused prior
to the publication of charges against him."
General'How.n.ap's report embodies the.
following order, of date May 15, 1860, the
execution of which was entrusted to Briga
dier General W. E. &moral :
Major General 0. 0. Howard, Commissioner

General HOWARD also encloses a brief let
r from Brigadier General B. K. SCoTT,
o assistant commissioner in South Caroli-
na, who writes from Charleston, under date
of • ➢lay 21, 1866. General Soolr says ho
has just returned from a visit to the Sea
islands, whither ho- went with Gonerlas
STEADMAN and FULLERTON. A very care
ful investigation was made, but no flaw was
found in his management of the Sea islands
question, or in the affairs of the bureau in
that State. The planters came forward and
uphold his policy, and wore panic . -struck at
the bare idea of the removal of the bureau
They nearly all acknowledged that it is nec
essary for the welfare of all classes of citi
zens,. The men who decry and want it
broken up, such men as CONNOR, SPRATT
and BONLEAN aro politicians and not plan
ters, mid their evidence is founded in po
litical prejudice and not on any knowledge
of the workings of the bureau. He is not
only willing, but . anxious that h s manage
ment of affairs shall be subjected to the most
rigid scrutiny, and is certain that the Aar
' actor of the bureau will thereby be vindi
cated. He is not wholly satisfied with the
administration of General ELY in the Col
umbia sub-district, and had recommended
his removal, but since the reports against
him he is determined that there shall he a
fair examination before final action is taken.

Since it basbecoMe'apparont the Senate
will not confirm the nomination.of Wm. F.

Nat.
Mr. , Cowan in selecting Mr. Johnson
for the Collectorship in question, has made
a most lamentable commencement in his de
termination to weed out the Radicals. The
Senator has at the threshold of his reform
rend'? Amuse glaring.and egregious blunder.
nig surprising that: he should have done so,
for Ex-Governor Johnson's career has been
open and notorious. Ho cares not for pre
cedent or party, provided he is uppermost.
In 1860 he supported Henry D. Foster for
Governor against Curtin, and then voted
for Lincoln for President two weeks after.
When Curtin ran the, second time Johnson
took the stump for him, taking back all the'
abuse he had heaped upon him previously.
In 1864 he refused to sit fport Lincoln for
re-election, because of his supposed conser
vatism, and he accordingly took a leading
part in bringing out Fremont. In a few
weeks after this, Johnson was again upon
his knees apologizing for his offense, and
professing all sorts of admiration for Mr.
Lincoln. In his speeches during this can
he t , outradicalled the rr ost radical, and was
entire master of the slang which denounced
General McClellan and his supporters as
" triatBrs and copperheads." Now, that the
way to political preferment lies in the road
of moderation, our fuming fanatical orator,
who desired to have his political opponents
not hung singly, but like onions, fifty on a
string, has the assurance to appear as an ad
vocate of moderation. If these facts aro
not known to Senator Cowan be has been an
indifferent spectator to the course of Penn
sylvania politicians ; but if they aro known
to him, he makes a sorry beginning in hav
ing Johnson appointed to a lucrative po
sition."

cessful in keeping his recently hired German
laborers than he was in retaining his slaves.
He says : "They cost me thirty-five dollars
each to bring them to Gharlestpn from New
York. I fed them far better an ever I
thought of feeding my hands, even gave
them coffee end sour krout, when what should
they do but demand butter for their broad

WIIO ARE EX EM rr FROM TAXATION.
—ln answer to the question who arc exempt
from taxation by the last act of the Legis
lature, the Ilarrisbut% "Telegraph" says
they are those persons and their property,
who have served in the army for a period
not less than nine months; those persons
who have been discharged on account of
wounds or physical disability received or
contracted in the army, and the widows and
orphans, their property, of deceased soldier
of this class, shall be exempt from the pay
ment of all bounty and per capita tax levie
to pay bounties to volunteers„ The same
persons are also exempt from paying militia
tax. These facts are important to parties
desiring to appeal from tax levies.
TTIE Congressional Globe was eagerly
scanned this morning, -to see if any indecent
allusion to President Johnson, made yester
day by Mr. Thad. Stevens, of Pennsylva
nia, appeared. I am happy to say that it
had been suppressed—it would have been
better if it had not been said.—N. P. Cent-
Would'nt it be an improvement, also, if
,some, at least of the " indecent allusions"
' Mr. Stevens in the conservative news
papers should be " suppressed ?"
A JUSTICE, in an eastern town, better
versed in law than gospel, not long since
married a couple in this way: "Hold up your

That's all—fee one dollar." This is almost
as laconic as the Custom House oath: "Take

To the Volunteer : Your "jumping at
conclusion" policy requires a few additional
remarks, in • connection with those pub
lished in these columns in the last issue,
over my signature. This policy character
izes your article of this week ; personal to
myself.
You conclude that 1 am " anxious" for
" newspaper notoriety ;" and to further my
anxiety you " give your assistance." This
conclusion emanating solely from your pro
lific brain, boars within itself the elements
of its own refutation. "Judge yo that ye bo
not, judged." Even if "anxious," -your as
sistance is respectfully declined. If favora
ble, it could not be otherwise than damag

of gentility, not otherwise than repulsive.
In refeience to egotism, you overlook but,

one—yourself; "be ye which yo may."
Truly, the solioquy in which you indulge,
so evidently intend for your own delight,
was never designed to reach the public I It

style of self-admiration, which, we are told,
an animal of the genus ape originated, when
attempting to shave itself, before u , large .

It is astounding to notice your perfect ac

Report of the Superintendont o
Common Schools of
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Houses.-Ftwtr elegant brick houses have
been erected during the year; one, in East
l'ennsboro, GI foot hmg, 30 ft wide and I I ft.
high, at a cost of about $2,500: ono, in
Middlesex (0.1,030x1t) 14.11 cur k.:pring
(32x110x12; and ono, in Southampton (32x
30x11), easels at a cost of about $l,BOO. 'rho
directors in these districts certainly deserve
credit for the noble structures reared under
their supervision, but many boards have as
it were a lifts wheel. This . lifth wheel /surly
believes that rail-roads could be dispensed
with ; that it is easier to pitch hay on sleds
than on wagons ; that wooden plows break
clods bettor. Alton iron plows; that Photo
graphy is the work of the devil because the
scripture says " Ilion shalt make no imago
ik,c;" that to snake a dollar and keep it is
the "chief end of man ;" that to teach a pu
pil more than three it's (readin, ritin rith
motic) is preparing him to steal the, dollar
from you. This fifth wheel party objects to
modern school houses; to putting heaters
into the basement or cellar, because ‘• it re
quires two men to attend it: one to for nish
coal and another to put it into the heater;"
they have a hundred retrosective ideas,
about the " Old Log" to which they used to
go when they were boys anti believe that
modern school houses aro an innovation ;
they also believe that one-eighth of all acre
of land sufficient for play ground, or if they
can secure a piece .10 feet square " whrn two
roads meet,' and when they can fence the
house out instead of in, they prefer it. They
object to sectarianism in a School d(”.Ntoo or
.`s'itiorriiilen,lee, but consider it highly im
portant that both be orthodox politically.
If it were not for this party the schools of
Cumberland might be far in advance of
what they now are. But notwithstanding
the obstacles and difficulties wills which we
have to eon: tend, good brick edifices are now
found in every Borough in the county, and
the schools and teachers in them will, 1
think, compare very favorably wills any in
the State. (I would here stale that as Car
lisle is independent nothing in this report
refers to it).
There are 163 houses in the county, MI of
which aro brick ; 27 frame ; I 7 log and 16
stone. We have a few houses yet that are
not so good as might be desired, but 'direc
tors are now making arrangements to re
move sm , eral of them during the summer.
Several academies and female seminaries are
now in operation iu this county, which, if
they were of the proper grade, might be in
strumental in accomplishing an incalculable
amount of good. We need a good academy
and a Normal School, but I believe when
private individuals take the children of the
State to educate, that the State has a right
to demand that said private schools fill cer
tain requirements. Some of them how issue
circulars that do not contain a word of truth
stating that Philosophy, Cheinisty &c. aro
taught by the use of apparatus, when there
is not' a piece abhut the institution except a
perpetual Gasometer which is inscperably
connected with the Principal ; and a black
board 6 feet long and 3 wide, one end of
which is on the floor, three feet from the
partition against which it leans. 1 think the
standard of these schools should be elevated
Cu as to bring them between common schools
and colleges, both of which are now in ad
vance of them. The best plan to secure reg
ular attendance at school is to make the
school worthy of being attended.
Under, the present arrangement I would
oppose compqsory attendance with my might
because 1 consider it a positive injury to
children to go to some teachers who are now
employed by directors who aro not very fa
vorably impressed with any kind of schools,
and who can neither read nor write well. If
directors were sworn and scholarship made
the test of eligibility it would he otherwise,
but 'even then it would be doubtful.
Furniture and Apparatus.—A few houses
have been supplied with better desks and
black-boards: 182 sets of 'outline maps aro
now in use ; 89 sets of which have' been pur
chased during the year, Ellsworth's charts
have been put into a large number of schools.
Examinations.-22 public and about the
'Same number,of private examinations were
'held. 'The: plan of procedure was by the.
oral and written methods combined.
. The examinations were well attended by
directors and friends of education. Out of
135 directors, 127 Werb present at the
ferent examinations-850 citizens also wit

them. A qualified well experienced teacher
.becomes disgusted with being put °nom

is driven from the school room to seek a
livelihood elsewhere. 71 females and 120
males were employed.
Moral Instructions.—The scriptures wore
rend in nearly every school after which
many had prayers.
Visitations.—l commenced to examine
teachers on the 31st of July; to visit schools
on' the 12th of September and visited regu
larly until the 14th of March, after which I
visited a few and attended some examina
tions of schools. I visited 259 schools,
that is, all the schools once, and 69 a second
time, averaging 2 hours at each school. I
was engaged 242 days, travelled 2253 miles
and wrote 251 official letters.
Closing Reinarks.—This brings my term
of office to a close. I was teaching in the
summer of 1863 when my commission reach
ed me, but shortly after I was prostrated by
Typhoid fever. A few days after this when
the fever was raging, I was informed that
the rebel army was invading Pennsylvania;
that they were burning and making homes
desolate as they came on—still a few days
and the "hoof of the war horse," the roar
of rebel artillery could be distinctly heard.
On the 3rd of August, before being fully
able to leave home, I wandered forth to hold
my public examination but schools were
not. filled, because the teaohers "had gone'
to the war." We were deprived of many of
the best teachers. •The next fall Chambers
burg was burned while I was bolding my
exaniinations, but schools and•teachers were
scarcely thought of for weeks ; farmers
were driving their stock back and forth ;
merchants were shipping and reshipping,
and, again only-two thirds of our schools
had teachers and many of these inferior
ones. In the fall of 1885 (comparatively
speaking) wo had peace, but the sprightly
and intelligent young,teachers found by ex
perience in the army that an enterprising
young man could not afford to spend his
best days in teaching a school at :$lO or
even l 0 rec month for six months (tutting
the year, Many who returned from the
army had no inclination to teach, because,
as they said, "it dont pay." From this it
will be observed that those who were called
would not come hence, the maimed and the
halt, the ignorant and the (mentally) blind,
the masters and the drones were Called in
at cheap rates to mould the intellect—the
,immortal mind. God grant that the time
may speedily come when the best men will
bo secured at living prices. Sickness anti
the war prevented me from accomplishing
what might he expected from a worthy and
ellicient officer.
Our schools are certainly better now than
when I came into office, but lam con
fident that our teachers to-day are not so
well qualified to teach as those we had
prior to tl.e rebellion. To obviate the ne
ce:sity of employing incompetent teachers
I have labored zealously and perseveringly
to ostaldish a State Normal School in the
seventh district, and believe that if my suc
cessor is sufficiently enterprising, Cumtler
land County will have a State Normal
School in the course tile. year because two
thirds of the money necessary to build has
already been subscribed, at d the design to
have a Normal School is so great that the
balance of the money could easily be se
cured it a man in whom the people have
confidence were to solicit it. I would take
this opportunity of tet urning my !nest heart
felt thanks to directors, teachers and friends
of education generally for the hospitality
:ma kindness shown me while laboring
among them for the amelioration of those
who trill soon take our places. May Cod
prosper them and make them veterans in
the cause of education i may Ile lire them
with the spirit of universal education inas
much as it is the only sure basis of a demo
cratic form of government, and finally may
Ife aid us to live consistent christians. to be
perfect and upright men, for their end is

FIRE.—On Tuesday night lasi about
half past nine o'clock a lire broke out in
Itheem's Hall. It commenced in a small
closet under the stairs in the South West
corner of the Hall and destroyed nearly all
the stage and its furniture. The building
was flooded with water and tie rooms on
the first floor including the office of the
Herald were pretty well soaked. Through
the exertions of the firemen and sonic of our
friends we escaped without much injury.
The injury to the building is covered by
insurance. The fire was the work of an in-
cendiary.
On behalf of the proprietor of the build
ing and ourselves we return 'our heartfelt
thanks to the firemen for their exertions in
saving our property from destruction.
In consequence of the recent lire at
RhoAn'S Hall, the Do Carlan & Wolsiefter

attractive place—besides contributing to a
praiseworthy object.
Our friends in town and country—also of
the adjacent villages are cordially invited
to favor us with their presence. By order
of the Committee.
TROUT TISHING.—AB many of our
citizens delight in capturing the " speckled
beauties," wo give place to the following bit
of practical information relative to trout
fishing, from the Country Gentleman:
First, as to the'habits of the. tront. They
seek in thP yauil season, clear , coOl running
water. In winter; they retreat to the deep—
er. water, such as fords andAppp hold. The
trout may be said to dislike OiOization, and
when the forest and brush are 'cleared from
its old haunts, he takes good elm to leave
also. There aro many streams in this re
gion . which twenty yearsiago yielded trout
abundantly, that' aro i ndw almost deserted.
Solitude is therefore indispensable ,to their
increase, except when propogated by, artifi
cial moans. *, When spring' opons,Tan4 , the
strain:is' aro' , warmed by the sun, tho trout
run up into the brooks and mayithen be
taken by experienced anglers. The trout is
very shy, and he who would catch him nnult
keep without the. rango of his eye as much
as. poseablo. 'Noises do not frighten - him.
They usually Hounder Jogs or, the edges of
rocks, or under or in any place where
scolusion' can , lie obtained. Whekin search
of food, as at sunset, or in the early morning;
at times on cloudy days, they aro all, about
the stream, but will oftenest 'bo found in
quick water or in tho very deepest water.
Acooo,, the best time. to catch, This is; ,
'usually 'in the morning and at oVOlailig'.
Cloudy days preferred to bright daycibecause
the fish are then less Bahl . ° to see the angler.
Often in pond fishing, a light rilaple on the
surface of the water is as good as cloudy
weather. And often, too, I have had groat
:uccess in the brightest days. It is impossi
ble to toll just when they will bite best. My
rule is to go whenever I got ready, and take
the chance. April, May and Juno are the
the best months.
Then as to the bait. For brook fishing
there is nothing better than the angle worm
or a dow worm.
For pond fishing, the artificial fly, and so
vice versa. Largo trout, however, are Often
est caught with the fly. Minnows aro good
and will frequently tempt largo trout when
the worm and fly both fail.
