THOSE INJURED INNOCENTS.
RiehmoudLluul a sensation last week.
It was in thkshape of a meeting to form
a permanent association in honor of
General Lee, and to provide means' to
erect a monument to his memory. It
was a,rare
,assemblage of traitors, who
owe their lives to?ay to the ivondi9ful
forbearance of a , overnmeat te FlestToy
which they, devoted thek befit ,ei anios.
presided, snpported by Fitzhugh
Lee, cordon, Johnson, , Trimble,' Talia
foro;and Henry A. Wise. Davie
pearance was hailed with the wildest
enthusiasm. Ho spoke at length, and,
wipran-insolence that was marvellous
eien in him. This perjured traitor, 'who
stands blistered with every crime known
to humanity, speaks of the exploits of
the dead commander of his hordes,
• in the same strain. of eulogy that true
Men i.einploy when they cominemorate
thiOlpods of thosti who gave their: lives
a SaielAce for their country's preseiya.z
tion. How Often must these insults to
patriotism and loyalty be repeated? flow
long must traitors boast of their proviress,
their zeal, and their, courage in doetioy
ing brave men who'foughtfor the proAer
vation of institutions, the maintenance
of the bite! city and honor of our o ern,
ment, and the protection of our lives and
property ?
The presence of Wise and Taliafero at
this memorial mooting, recalls a "moat
significant precedent for the disposition
of men who levy war against.the govern
ment. Some eleven- years ago, a man,
who from hiknatnre, education, and the
injuries he had received from those who
wore supporters, was intensely hostile
to the institution of slavery, conceived
that ho had a mission to liberate the
slaves of the South. With about a score
of men he made a descent on the sacred
soil of Virginia, and Seized some United
States property. Except while defend
ing himself froth' capture, ho sacrificed
no human life, nor did he interfere for a
full day with the rights of government or
people. He was captured after having
peon seriously.wounded, and while suf
fering the greatest agony was forced
upon trial, convicted of high treason
against the State of Virginia, and hanged
under the deathi-warrant of Henry k
Wise, while Taliafero won his first mili
tary lauttguarding his gallows. The
justice au legality of the punishment
we concede ; the barbarity of trying or
man for a' capital crime, • while his
wounds were still bleeding, would be
reprehended severely, if practiced any
where else than urideMlie gentle reign
of Southern chivalry.
Brown and Lee had one crime in com
mon—an attempt to subvert the authority
of the Federal Government. In all else
they 'were slissimilar, and a fair com
parison would not make-Lee the superior
map. Brown excused his treason on the
ground that the claims of humanity and
• religion are greater than the demands
of the law. Leo put in the plea of
paramount allegiance to his local
government. Both - desired suocess,
one that ho might liberate toiling hu
manity, the other that he-might porpetu-
.ate slavery and oppression. Leo vas
bound by a solemn oath to protect and
defend the government ; Brown's OH,
dation was only the implied contract of
the citizen to obey the laws, and this
bound the other equally. Leo had been
-educated, maintained, and honored by •
hisgovernment. Brown had received only
the common protection of the laws. In
their private lives they professed''high
moral and religious convictions. They
were both brave, manly, and able much
beyond their fellow-men. Ono was the
polished child of wealth, social position,
and education, the other was the. tielf
tutored man on whom toil and poverty
had made rough and ineffaceable scars.
There was some difference in the con
sequences arising from thdir crimes.
The treason of John Brown gave the
Virginia -courts and militia much unmer
ited importance, while the country lost
fewer lives by his treason than it did by
its punishment. The treason of Robert,
, E. Lee brought, in its train, long years
' of bloody war, the slaughter of thousands
of brave mon, the expenditure of mil
lions of treasure, and misery and sorrow
throughout the entire land. It may be,
in the opinion of those w2ho weep over
Lee's death, that a man's crime lesAens
iu inverse ratio to the misery it causes.
If that be true there may be some con
sistency in the action of the executioners
of John Brown honoring the memory of
at man, who committed greater crimes
in an infinitely worse cause..
We have no objection to these rebel
demonstrations, except that they show
the , innate ingratitude of ,humanity.
What these traitors now have they owe
to the magnanimity of those whom they
try to insult, by honors to men who merit
only execration. But 'if wo have. for:
given all else, this may "be pardoned.

We have received the first number of
the Pennsylvania Seltool Journal, under
its new management. This valuable
educational magazine, which was for
eighteen years under the editorial care
of the venerable Tho Mas 11. Burrowes,
is now edited by the llon. J. P. WickOr
sham and-I. --P. McCaskey:
ersham has, for many yeal.s, stood in - the
first rank among ;the educators of this
country, and Mr. McCaskey was; for
many years, -associated with Mr. Bur
rowes in the management of the Journal.
In such Ilan& the admitted usefulness
of this magazine must. be greatly
in
creased, and we have no doubt its poi:a
l:laity will grow correspondingly. No
man, who is a friend of popular educa
tion, should be without the Journal. •
TILE wisdom of " radical" legislation
was never more evident than in the
registry made in New York, for the
present election. The votes registered
are 142,000, about 30,000 loss than the
cumber registered last year. It must be
a gratificati6n to every decent man in
that miserably governed Democratic
city, to know that thirty thousand illegal
votes have boon kept out of -the ballot
boxes, through the .wise legislation of
Congress on that subject. Republican:.

out the country, and it is abundantly
able to correct; in time ot'en the election
frauds in Neiv York, .although that has
been heretofore considered hopeless,
SECRETARY SOU:TWELL gives us his
monthly instalment of good news, by the
stateinent Chat $5,220,290.73 of the Na
tional debt was paid in the month of
October. "This, though smaller than the
monthlrpayments made before the re
duction of the taxation made by the last
Congress, shows that the good work is
still progressing, and that oven at the
present rate of payment the National
debt is rapidly disappearing. Now, let
the Adininistration push the funding of
the debt at a lower rate, and doubtless
before the first of April next we will have
specie payments.
No hiss than eighteen States held elec

common school education? Why in
Pennsylvania we have 86,000 voters who'
cannot write, in New York this Same
Class numbers not less than 50,000 men.
Let us wipe out this dark stain on our
fair educational system." The Prof.
then proceeded to give a practical drill
in the art of penmaiiship, illustrating by
familiar' examples, the almost' :universal
errors into 'which pupils of • every grade
fall, showing how to successfully Correct
them,_ and urging the importanee i of pay
ing strict attention to the correction l)f
What are very generally regarded as
trivial errors. After resolving each let
te'r of the alphabet into its elementtry .
parts, and showing the manner in :Odell
a ,class drill should be conducted, the

TUESDAY MORNING SESSIONI
Convention met at nine o'clock, Prof.
Kast in the chair. •
Prayer by Rev. Fonlk, of Carlisle.
Roll called by Superintendent Lindsey.
Prof. J. V. Montgomery resumed the
discussion of the proper method of teach
ing penmanship,' reviewing the 'drill , of
yesterday, and dwelling at considerable
length on the •importance of znaintaining
a correct position while'writing„• of body,
of arm, of paper, and of pen. He urged
teachers to abandon the too common
practice of using, and allowing those
under- their:cam—to thetwrist-ah-a
support to the arm while writing. There
should be a regular order of exercise in
*ducting this drill, and under no-cir
emnstances should pupils be allowed to
deviate from it. The-lecture of Prof.
Montgomery was listened to with most
marked attention.-
Hon. E. E. White followed in a lecture
on primary instruction. Pie commenced
by saying that ho would not give methods
only; because a method without having
infused into it life and vitality by the
teacher is worthless; but he :.vould give
- principles on which methods are founded.
TWo things enter into ,the discussion of
this subject, those principles that give
rise to mothodsof primary ipstruction,
and the difference between primary and,
adult instruction. The axiomatical
principle ‘ , ‘,„lnstruction took in matter
and method, must be adapted Co the ca
pacity of the taught," dares not he set
aside by the teacher who would be
successful in his great. work. Here the
Prof., entered into an able and elaborate
andifffis of the faculties of the mind ;
arguing that those faculties that are de
veloped first, should of eitl the teacher
the first avenue through which ho must
impart instruction. The great blunders
of the ago in primary teaching, on-the
treatment of children as though their
faculties were all equally active at the
same period, and as other teachers claim
that the reflective faculties are entirely
dormant during the early years of , child
hood. .
Both these views are erroneous. The
child differs from the adult, not 'in the
abSenco of any faculty, but in the relative
strength bf its faculties. In the child
the perceptive powers are 4drongest, in
the adult it is the reflective powers. We
'discOver then that a wide difference
exists between : primary and adult in
struction, In primary teaching, we
should always begin with what the child
sees, ()itemising its - perceptive facUlthis,
instead of Ithii:rbasoning power*, "lie
dealt some heavy and Well merited blows
at the imperfect arrangement, both in
method and Matter, of our primary.text
books. The lecture was replete with
beautiful illustrations and rich in pro-,
found research, holding the undivided
attention of the audience for one hour.
Mrs Warren, of Philadelphia, having
arrivedi took up the subject of Elocution,
dwelling for some time on theinipOrtanee
of thorough elocutionary training, cloB.
ing,with an .luteresting instructive
class drill that showed inn to be matter
