Huntington the Forger,
We learn from our New York exchan
ges that a most daring and well-planned
scheme to procure the liberation of the no
torious Huntington, has been brought to
light and happily defeated. fhe way the
liberation was to have been brought about,
we find in the Tribune, Scatchard, the
man who headed the scheme, is a most ex
cellent pensman and telegraph operator.
He was to forge the Governor's name to a
pardon, and before it was presented take
possession of the telegraph above and be
low Sing Sing, and by his peculiar machi
nery interrupt the inquiries of the War
den to the Governor at Albany, or the Dis
trict Attorney at New York. This war
rant was to have been presented at the pri
son, by a confederate, at the proper mo
ment, and Huntington was to fly with him
to New York City. where a swift sailing
schooner war to await them, and instantly
put to sea, and make for Havana or the
Isle of Pines. The scheme leaked out by
a third party. Huntington denies having
any knowledge of the scheme, and says
he disapproves of it.
The High Price of Leather—Or
ders from England.
One of the largest leather dealers in
Philadelphia alleges. in puhli.hPd letter,
that the high price of leather is not caused
by speculators, And adds:
In confirmation of this, I need only state
that at the present moment five thousand
sides could not be furnished by all the corn.
mi-sion houses in Philadelphia and Balti
more put tone, her, if one dollar a pound
were offered for it. If it were a specula-.
tive movement, it is reasonable to suppose
that large shipments would soon be made
from other countries to meet the demand,
but so far is this from being the case, large
orders are now in New York from Eng.
land far leather. It is equally certain that
there is no accumulation of stock in the
tanneries; indeed, the tanners have been
so anxions to get their stock into market
early that they would scarcely allow it to
get dry. For several years past the quan
tity of leather sold in New York, Phila
delphia and Baltimore has varied very little
in quantity, amounting in the aggregate to
about four million of sides per annum,
while the population of the country has
been increasing very rapidly, and the con
sumption of leather with it,
The scarcity of hides and leather he at
tributes to the constantly disturbed and re
volutionary state of the South American
republics, and further adds :
I will here remark that the advance on
hides has been much greater than on lea
ther, for white the advance on the latter
has been one hundred per cent.. it has been
three hundred on the former, forge to 37c.
since 1848. In England and on the conti
nent of Europe hides are higher .han here,
and there are buyers from England now in
New York, shipping hides to that coun
try, and at New Orleans there are large
orders for heavy daughter hides from
France.
Election of County Superinten-
dente.
We copy the following article from the May
No. of the School Journal. The article is ex
salient in itself, and worthy of particular atten•
tion in our county at this time. There are now
but two candidates for the important office of
County Superintendent, Mr. McDivitt and the
present incumbent. The latter, it is well known
is very unpopular with nearly all the able tea
chers and active educationists in a large per.
tion of the county. They not only refuse to
cooperate with him, but openly avow their hoe
tility, and display their apparently well-founded
dislike of the man and want of confidence in
the officer. It is useless to dilate on the causes
of this state of feeling. The fact is unques
tionable, and meat certainly either prevent hie
receiving a commission from the School De
partment if be ahould unfortunately be elected;
or, what Is still worse, leave him to retaiit the
office without the po•ver to fill its highe.rt ditties.
Unsupported by so large a number of the most
experienced and influential teachers, his terns
must prove as barren of good results as it would
be fruitful of evil. Accomplished teachers
would continue to leave the county in disgust
more efficient worker. in the cause would sus•
pend their labors in sorrow: and contention and
Indifference usurp the place of that zeal and
isrmooy which formerly bound together, as a
'bluid of brothers, all the respectable Common
School teachers of the county. We trust those
most interested will give these facts their due
weight while perusing the following valuable
suggestions: _ .
In the April No. of this Journal, we took the i
liberty of stating what we believed to be the I
true course to be pursued by the conventions
of Directors, in the selection of County Super.
intendants. As this number will probably
reach the hands of its readers before the meet
ing of those conventions, we now propose to
make some suggestions to Teaches:, on the
same subject.
It is true that the Common School Teachers
of each county, possess no direct control in
the matter; but it is equally true that no class
in the community are so much interested or
so directly concerned io the result. Not only
will the person who shall be chosen as County
Superintendent for the next three years be
their professional examiner, and the official
visitor of their schools, but he is the head of
their profusion is the county. Hence it is,
that they owe it to themselves, as well as to
the community for and in which they labor, to
use all honorable and effective means within
' their power, to secure the selection of the beet
person to the office. An unqualified, inefficient
or uninfluential officer, will not only prove in
jurious to the common school system in all its
local operations, but will cripple the efforts
now being made by the teachers - in the noble
course of self improvement, and will belittle
the profession generally. While an able, ex
perienced and active practical teacher in the
office,—one who understands the profession,
and its wants, and its tendencies—one who is
alive not merely to the good of the schools,
but to the true interests of his profession,—can
and will do more for them and it, than all the
other means that have yet been devised and
put into operation, for the improvement of the
system.
It is unnecessary more than to assert these
points. The transactions of the past three
years, in every part of the State, establish their
truth. Several counties that had previously
made a most promising beginning in the race
of improvement, by the voluntary efforts of
prominent teachers who acted as leaders, et
once became stationary or retrograded under
the Superintendency; for the simple reason
that the office was insufficiently filled. Oth
ors, on the contrary, that had previously scarce
ly shown a sign of educational life, at once be
came active and progreassve ; solely because
the right man was put into this all important
office. While others, again, that had already
made considerable advances, have been push.
ed on to a state of improvement beyond the
expectations to the most sanguine. These re
sults, of their various combinations, are obvi
ous to all; and the single solution which ex
plains every one of them, is to be sought, as it
will most certainly be found, its the degree of
fitness or unfitness of the respective County
Superintendents.
Thus viewed from the stand-point occupied
by the common school teacher,—What coned•
Lutes fitness for the office in question ? Sev.
oral q ualifications ie t
a a reessential.
Ifs shouted L e pract i ca l Teacher. How
else Can he examine Teachers, and pass intel
ligently, impartially and satisfactorily upon
their professional qualifications? How else
can he visit their schools, and prolessioually
ascertain and officially report their true condi
tion? As well as might a doctor criticise and
amend the pleadings of a lawyer; or the law
yer prepare the recipe or dictate the treatment
proper fur the doctor's patient, as a member
of any other profession or calling, perform the
duties of the chief teacher of the schools of a
county; for such is the County Superinten.
dent.
Ile should have been active in the education.
al movement of the county. Not only is this
proper as a proof that he possesses the right
feeling, but it will hare another good result.—
Such a person, being well versed in the move
ments and condition of the field of his labors,
will be prepared, at once, to enter up m their
effective discharge; whereas. an entire stran
ger, or one who has held aloof from the move
ment, will lose mach valuable time in acqui•
ring the necessary knowledge of the affairs
committed to his care, and of the persona who
are to be his coworkers in their manage
ment.
Ile should have ability and experience in the
conducting of Institutes. The Institute is the
test of the County Superintendent's efficiency.
Great professional knowledge, tact in mange
meet, influence upon the community, and a
large fund of expedients, are indiepeneible to
meet the various and often very ember rassing
requirements of these meetings. It may safe.
ly be asserted, that the Supetintendency has
not failed ir. a single county, in which the Se
perintendent himself haegotton up, conducted
and brought to a successful conclusion, a series
of annual County Institutes.
Ile should, finally, be a ready and fluent
public speaker. Almost numberless are the
occasions for the exercise of this faculty,—the
lack of which operates iu every instance prej.
udicially to the cause of educational advance
ment. Directors are to be addressed and
cheered on the performance of their unpaid
but most important duties, the law to be ex.
plained to them, and their relations to parents
pupils and teachers detailed and defined. Pa
rents are to be addressed and urged to the dis
charge of their portion of the great work.—
Pupils are to be publicly spoken to and encour
aged, and wisely stimulated to greater exer
tion. Teachers are to be lectured to, instruct
ed and urged forward in the path of duty and
professional improvement in a word, the
Superintendent is to have a word or an address
for every class and portion of the community,
when called on to deliver it ;—for what class
or portion ;28 not interested in the results of
his official action
But above all others, teachers are ails inter
ested—interested not solely in the general
sense, as members of society, but in the Fir
dealer sense, as members of that profession
which is the subject of this officer's authority,
as well as the great moving, working power of
the Common School system. Why should
they not, Cum, use every proper means to have
an office properly filled, which connects itself
so intimately with their welfare and suc
cess?
What those means are and how they should
be made effectual, it is needless to specify.—
Amongst the most obvious, will be consultation
with Directors and suggestions as to the most
proper persons for the office. And sure we are
no Director, who has a due sense of hie posi
tion and of the relation of the office of Super
intendent to the body of the Teachers of hie
county, will refuse to hear or to treat with res.
poet, all proper suggestions front them 011 this
subject.
Let teachers, then speak out ou this point
and, while they studiously avoid anything like
dictation or undue influence, let them aid their
Directors with their suggestions, that their uni
ted efforts may result in the best possible se
lection.

Dar We are informed that Mr. Albert Owen
is to be Professor of Mathematics in the Cass.

The County Superintendency, a Normal School
in Huntingdon, and one in Shirleysburg, and

can attend to them all ; especially if they are
as short lived as a certain permanent Institution
established not long since in the upper end df
the county.
Query.—Has not one of the gentlemen, in
the upper end, who is out for Superintendency
been a stereotyped candidate for almost every
office in the gift of the people of this county,
ever since he arrived at his niajority—
burp Herald, of this County.
To the above, we answer no. Nor has the
gentleman thus falsely charged with office•seek
ing, ever been tried and found guilty of any
crime against the laws of the country or the
peace of society. We can say that for him,
and you should credit him with that.
Da' Lewis of the Globe pretends profound
ignorance as to being erred by Wm. Allison,

abeent•minded Lewis, and to revive his recollec•
lion, we add that this is the gentleman to whom
be addressed a note a few weeks ago, begging
him not to sue, he was not at home at the time
the libelous article was published, attending a
beloved nice person, would make it all right,

TALKING OUT IN THE DEMOCRATIC CHURCH.
—The New York Day Book, the organ of the
Administration in New York, concludes an ar•
tick beaded "C. an Opponent of Slavery be a
Democrat?" with this explicit enunciation of
the Democratic doctrine:
"Every white man opposed to negro subordi.
nation is necessarily opposed to white equality;
or, in other wordy, every man opposed to Ma
-1 very must, in the nature and necessity of things,
be hostile to Democracy, and however blindly,
be an enemy . to liberty and the progress of free

Something for the Doughfacee.
While the Northern Doughlitee Press is uP•
holding the extrajudicial decision of the Su•
promo Court, in the Deed Scott case, as some
thing particularly agreeable - to their nostrils,
the most influential press M the South comes
down upon it in unmeasured terms of condem
nation. In a lute number of the Louisville
Journal, appears a long and able communica
tion, signed "a Kentucky Lawyer," reviewing
this case which the 'Journal' says is by one
of the soundest jurists in ilt State. In the
course of the review, the writer thus pronoun
ces :
"The majority of the Court decided in this
cane, that plaintiff Scott, being's negro, could
not be a citizen of Missouri; that therefore
the Court had uo jurisdiction o. power to de.
cide the case on its merits, and it was accord.
inglydismianrd,* want of juriadiction.
"Having so decided, the Court should have
stopped there, and not attempted to go any
farther into the case. All beyond that was
extraindieial, and entitled to no farther re•
alma than if the Judges had expressed the
same opinions in a debating club, or had pub.
lished them in a newspaper, for the undisguised
purpose of aiding a politic it party."
This is precisely the ground occupied by the
Republicans of the North. Wo append the fol•
eluding paragraph
"Tho inference from the whole is that these
Judges, in thus attempting to overrule former
decisions, and thwart a cause of legislation of
more than sixty yearn' standing, are endeavor
ing to deprive Congress, and thereby the inha
bitants of a, Territory of a'proper, beneficial
power, indispensably necessary to the permit•
rent well-being of the Territory. Such a result
should never ho attempted but upon compel
gun and for reason of the clearest and most in
disputable .ttliciency. Such is not all the
character of the reasons upon which these Jud
ges have ventured to base their intimated opin
ions. One the contrary, no lawyer will feel
that he haiards anything in characterizing
them as about the filmiest and least satisfac
tory that ever influenced the opinion of any re
spectable tribunal upon an important question.
As to the nation acquiescing in such an opinion
the idea is preposterous. Instead of quieting
the subject, it will only serve still further to in
flame the controversy, by stimulating the alrea
dy too highly excited jealousy of Northern pea
ple against the imputed undue influence ut the
elavehuldieg power."
Brigham Young on Squalling Babies and
their lduthern.
Brother Brigham, during the delivery of one
of his sermons in the Tabernacle, Great Salt
Lake city, took the liberty to upbraid the moth
ers of small children fur bringing their proge
ny into the holy sanctuary, and pitched into
them in the following style:—
I will say, in regard to the sisters who bring
children here to make a noise, the, have nev
er yet sufficiently thought, nor sufficiently con
sidered their own place.in this world, nor the
place of others, to know that there is any oth
er person living on the earth but themselves;
and they think, when they hear people talk,
that it is a noise through a dark veil. I can•
not say much for the education, based on good
feeling, that such persons have. Were I to
describe it in a plain way I should say that
they are people of no breeding, that they
were never heed but came up; that is about as
good a character as I can afThrd to give to
any mother that will keep a squalling child in
a meeting. I Wye never said to the congrega
tion, look and see who they are, for you may
distinguish by sour ears, without looking, the
mothers that have had good teaching and been
brought'up in civilized society.
Mr. Bokei and his Son•in•Law.
It may not be generally known that Mr. Do
ker, the wealthy wine merchant whose reMst
ante to the alliance of his daughter to an us
educated coachman has made so great a stir,
is a gentleman of unusual taste and culture,
and that he has shown no selfish or exclusive
feeling in the puriuit of his studies. A large
part of his income has for years been devoted
to the ereouragement of the fine arts, and it is
to his liberality that the people of New York
and the neighboring cities are indebted fur the
admirable collections o f the masterpieces of
the Dusseldorf school of painting, of which
he is the principal owner. Tho pertinacity,
therefore, with which he opposed the wishes
of his daughter to marry a man who had not
been fitted by previous education and habits
for his new social relations, does not indicate
the mercinary character which has been ascri
bed to him.
Itie notice that the Utica papera profess ig.
noranee as to the precise school in their neigh.
Lorhood where it is proposed to educate the
faithful coachman. The Obserecr, however,
remarks that there are several which can fit
him to ho the aomitelaw of anybody.—N. I'.

A Jersey Excitement.
- -
There appears to be considerable excitement
at Paterson, N. J., in regard to the finding
of about three hundred pearls (real) in muscle
shells, the alTuir seeming likely to transform
the Jersey flats into a new East Indies. The
New York Tribune has the following :
"A friend assures us that onh pearl, at least
no large as a small marble. (not a piece of
chalk,) has been shown to Tiffany di Ellis, the
well known Broadway jewellers, who estimated
its value at $lOOO. and offered to advance $7OO
on it. It lusts the peculiar tint of the Eastern
pearl; otherwise its value would be almost in•
credible. The man who owns it has already
sold pearls to the amount of $2OO Everybody
is on the search, and whatever may be the re•
salt there id evidently no lack of muscle at the
diggings."
