This shows what Democratic politicians think of a Union soldier.

There is a bill before the Legislature now which provides that in all eases where lnainity is set up as a plea by the defence in a trial for murder, the jury 3! all, if they believe the prisoner insar.e, so state in their verdict; and in case of acquittal, the court shall order the prisioner to be confined in an asylum until he is cured, and if the Insanity be hereditary or constitutional, the confinement shall be for life. This bill should becom a law immediately. Thers were only thirty-one candidates for director of the Northern Prison before the Democratic legislative caucus at Indianapolis last Thursday night. John L e, of Mont gomery county, Fred. Hoover, (Green backer) of Jasper county, and Simon Wile, of LaPorts, were the lucky men. It was a victory for Wurden Mayne and Senator Winterbotham The old ring triumphed easily and the Democratic editors and everybody else that did not belong to it Were left out in the sold.

Thirteen National Greenbackers were supposed to have been elected 0 the Indiana Legislature, but only two can be found tbere now, the thers having gone over to the Demerat. Thoae Greenbackers who are now talking about a balance of Jower in the m-xt Congress will find that their representatives will go with that arty that they think can do most for them personally. Al moat very one of thoae meu was elected, because they were advocates I dishonesty, and nothing better can be expected of them. There is at least one Democrat in Congress who places country above party. When the solid South came forwurd lust week and demanded a recognition of Southern claims, Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, told them that if the South wa3 solidly Democratic only to get the assistance of Northern Democrats in plundering the national treasury, the sooner the party was divided the better for the country. The country will stand by such men as Bragg. It is a solid united country that we now want, and we do not want to pay meo for what they

and a lack of efficient and responsible management. That this system has not been confined to the past few years, but has existed since tho foundation of the government; that notwithstanding immonse sums of money have been yearly expended with a view to civilize theso people, that failure is written on every page, and that we should try some method of dealing with this question different ftom that now in vogue; and conclude with the declaration that they believe that the interest of the government will be bebt promoted by transferring the management of Indians affairs to the War Department. Pcu und Scissors, Tho investigation of the Cipher dispatches was begun this week. All but three of tho Cheyennes were either killed or wounded in the recent engagement near Camp Robinson.

A coroner's jury decided that he died of congestion of the lungs, one lung being found unnaturally large, and the other very small and grown fast to the surroundings. Ritters, of the Rochester Sentinel, was a candidate for Director of the Nortnern Trison, and went to Indianapolis thinking he had a fair prospect for success, ne says when he got there he found a number of other editors, w ho also thought their chances good. Rut Senator Winterbotham nmaiked that "they did not want any half starved country editors for prison directors," and the majority of the members seeming to be of the same opinion the editors were counted out, and Bitters is not sure that he will ever again work very hard for the t lection of pot house politicians. The South lieud Tribune tells of a wulnut treejjin that county sjld for $45 and cut down last week, which was probably the largest in this vide ity. It measured six feet aoross the stump. The owner obtained four cuts from the tree, two ten feet, one twelvo feet, and ono fourteen feet long. The heaviest of theso was the twelve foot cut, which was brought to the log-yaid on Wednesday. It was six feet in diameter and weighed a tfifle over 10.700, or nearly five and a half tons. It will yield 5,000 feet of lumber. The LaPorte Argus says that a tramp went to the Sheriff s office in that city last week and wanted to be put in jail where he could get plenty to eat. He insisted that he was a dangerous man and had "recently killed five niggers." The Sheriff re-

I to take him iu, and he straightaway crossed the street and deliberately shoved Vuil's outside show case cn to the stone pavement, smashing it and its contents. For this he was locked up in tho city jail, which was just what he wanted. The Aiijus thinks that a good horsewhipping was what he needed. A woman abotit nineteen years old, with a baby ifl her arms, applied for admission to the poorhouse at South Rend last week. Sbo was refused and went away. Friday moining her baby was found lying In a basket in the water-closet of tho depot, with two bottles of mi k and a dote, .-..ying that if the baby stayed with her it would stat vc, and sho hoped that in this way it would fall into good hands. Tho baby and mother were dressed plainly, but neatly and cleanly. There is no clue to the paternity of the child, and it will bo cared for.

The new pension bill has been fgned by the President and is now a law. It passed the House at the last session by an emphatic majority, larger, perhaps, than if no election had been psnding, each party being anxious to win the votes of the soldiers, and the Senate passed it some days ago almost without discussion, only four votes being recorded against it; considering the vote the Pres dent, ao doubt, felt it his duty to sign it whether very strongly in favor of the

north and East of Russia from the Caspiau Sea, along the course of the Volga. Senator Ben Hill made a speech, Monday, against Southern war-claims. He asserted that no true Southerner would prefer a claim against the Government. Those men who made such claims were not loyal Southern en, and therefore Southern members should Oppose their claims. The Comptroller of the Currency has called for the condition of national banks at tho close of business Jan u ary 1 1879. The report is called for that date for the purpose of ascertaining as near as possible the condition of the banks on the day of the resumption of specie payments. Tho President has signed the bill

It ielaimed by tho advocates of the bill that Congress never had any tight to pass a statute of limitations rnling out persons entitled to a pension. But now that the bill is a law the next thing to do will be to get the money to pay the claim 1 that will be presented and allowed.

This Congress will make no appropriation, and the claims will simply remain off

Russia charges that tho Austrian and German measures to prevent the the spread of the plague are unnecessary, and threaten materially to crippto Russian commerce.

A special to tho Now York Craphii' from Washington, on the cipher dispatches Investigation, says: "Tilden's line of defense will be a denial of ull knowledge of the dispatches; that he never encouraged the use of money, and refused to ullow the use of money or bribes of any sort iu his name. Mr. Pelton will sweur that he submitted tho financial propositions to Tilden, who indignantly rejected thr m. This docs not help Mauton Muiblc, but it

is believed Tilden intends to cut looso from the whole band, and allow them to shift for themselves. Tho Republicans will attempt to secure copies of the cipher dispatches which Tilden sent to Michigan while his books were in litigation, to show that the same cipher wa3 used as iu the Florida dispatches, but the Democrats will refuse to have this outside matter brought in." Tho Dayton & Michigan railway company' elevator "R." at Toledo, with its contents, consisting of 100,000 bushels of grain, mostly corn, was entirely destroyed by fire at noon Friday. Estimated loss, $85,000. The remainder of the Cheyenneb who escaped from Ft. Robinson, NVh., recently, were over aken Thursday and surrounded. Refusing to surrender, they wero attacked by the troops and all except three women were killed. In 1874 there were four gold mills in operation in Georgia. There w-re then about forty stamps at work; there are now nearly five hundred. The stamps at work now will get ovt r $500,000 in gold bullion during this year if not another stump is added.

pIL" The more noise ho makes, the more he must make. Rut some may ask, How shall good order be secured? I answer, various ways must be resorted to. We must study the chai acter and disposition

of our pupils: different pupils will,

require differeut kinds of discipline, and when we find it necessary to punish, the nature and extent of such punishraout should be governed by circumstances. School discipline, and, I may say, discipline everywhere, must be based upon authority. This gives the teacher tho riht to punish, and the power to do so, by the use of severe means if necessary. We, as teachers, are sometimes asked if we believo in corporal punishment. I, for one would not entirely object to its use. I am of the opinion that there are sometimes cases where the good .of the school calls for severe chastisement. The rod should never be passionately used, nor should it be used on every occasion, aud for every offense; and when it is applied it should be with a spirit of firmness and self-control. Let m, then, as teachers, keep tcadily on in the path of duty, teaching what we pretend to teach, and

It has got to that point now when j governing when we onght to govern,

the Democratic party must settle for once and forever the Southern War Claims question. It is a doomed party if it does not put itself on record as opposed to paying tho ex traitors of the South for the damages they sustained while endeavoring to destroy the Government. The Jonesboro (111.) Gazette affirms that all the stories about the recent cold weather having destroyed all the peaches ate pure fabrications, and says that the peach trees in that vicinity are uninjured. It further says that the strawberry plants and small fruits are doing well under the snow. Every Democrat in the United States Senate voted to allow the cot ton claim of Warren Mitchell, of Louisville, Ky, for $128,000. on Thürs day. At the opeuing of the war, Mitchell entered the Confederate lines at Charleston on a permit from Geu. Anderson, to collect largo debts in Florida due his firm. He remained Inside the rebel lines, furnishing commissary stores tp the enemy for time years. When the Union army went through Georgia it seized $128,000 worth of Mitchell's cotton, and the proceeds went into the treasuiy. After the war he sued the government for this amount iu the court of claims aud failed, and on appeal to the Supreme Court, failed ag.dn. Now he

and wo shall have sc hools where there will seldom be occasion to resort to

any severe mode of punishment. That Institute. Editor liepubl'wan: We noticed an article last week on the above subject, signed Jonh S., to which we reply: Institutes, like the one referred to by John S , are no doubt common. Rut why he should speak up and let his "gentle voice" be heard just at this time seems a mystery. There seems to be a time in everybody's lite when ho feels like flndiDg fault with everything and everybody, it is apparent that John S., has arrived at that pt riod. There are many ways in which rain people attempt to show their ability (?). The one, least productive of good, is finding fault Wtth others. Institutes aro not always interesting, that we admit. But it is as often that an institute is bored by some teacher who expects to be rewarded for his much sayings as it is for saying but little; even if it should be on the subject of compound uumbers. Why have such subjects brought before au iustltute? Haven't we Ray. Stoddard, etc. Why not take them V jueriesJ. 8. Why have any subject brought beforo an institute? Have we not

There is no law authorizing this, and Sherman is a strict constructionist. In (Uanapolis Journal.

cheurfully give place to it. Ed

The subject of discipline la one among the most imp oi taut subjects that can present itself to the teacher. Order is (tod's Qri-t law, and if thee is any place ou the face f the wide earth where order is the ttrat, last and highest law, that place is the schoolroom. A teacher may posses overy necessary qiialillcatioi', and work eatu cstly and faithfully, aud yet fail of succ ess if lie has not the requisite skill and ability to govern his pupils. If children succeed in having their own way in their youth, they will claim the same privilege when they enter society. It is a fact that a true spirit of obedience plauted in the heart of the young will not onlj promote their happiness, but will prepare them for higher spheres of usefulness when they will have reached manhood's cares and responsibilities. Such being the case, then, how important is tho subject under consideration. The instructor must himself feel thejt ruth an 1 force of what has been said on this subject. First, it is important that we should comprehend the nature of any work before we can wisely undertake its performance. The teacher has a large family to govern, composed of many smaller families, all differing in disposition. These he must govern aud instruct, having regard to the greatest good of all concerned. The idle he must urge forward; the bashful and backward ho must encourage by kindness, the more foreward he may need to correct. To do all this would be diciplinary work, and he who does it well will havo a school of which he may be proud. The teacher should have but few rules. Instead of making a long list of rules, with certain penalties annexed, I would give them but one rule: Do right. Pupils will soon learn as to what may constitute wrong. Tho teacher must manifest a spirit of determination and self-control. In maintaining order It is not necessary that he be rough and severe. He need not be armed with wenpons and blunderbusses; ho should make no harsh threats, but he should be tirm in purpose and uniform in action, tho same yesterday, to-day and forever. Again he must not be strict in discipline to-day and lax to-morrow, nor punish an offense at one time which he disregards at another. If ho does, his pupils will soon lose confidence In his judgment. There aro certain tones of the voice which by their mild flrmneHS and determination have a poweful control; and I may also add thut thero aro certain looks which have a stronger effect than the most severo languago. The teacher should not be too noisy. "Aa tho teacher i3 so will bo his pu-

iu too shallow water when he teaches in Rourbou township? John S. complains because young teachers are hired "without the necessary qualifications," etc. How docs he know that these young teaci.ers who come in at the eleventh hour, havo not tho "necessary qualifications?" Has he proveu to the supeiiutendeut and trusteo, by his superior (?) modes of teaching, that he is so much above the standaid, aud that the young teachers, who havo only ciphered through Ray'a third book, are so far below it that they are without tho "necessary qualilleations?" Or, has he shown by the universal earisfaction he give to patrons of his schools that he is so much more highly qualitlod thai even the young touchers? Ob, but the young teachers can't talk at the Institute! Well, what if they can't? There aro always Smart Johns enough to do the talking. Didn't John S. get to do his share of talking at the institue referred to? Was this his reason for "doing such a thing for the first time in his life," and threatening "red tape the neit time?" Rut why hire these young teachers?" is trie query inferred from the talk of John S. It is a notable fact that people are crying down teacher's wages, Teacher's wages are lower In Bourbon township than any other township in the oounty. Experienced teachers go where tne higher wages are paid. This seems to have left Bourbon township the inexperienced teachers. Who is to blame? Are the teachers to blame, who have engaged tho schools in good faith, willing to work for low wages? Is the trusteo to blame when he docs tho best he can with tho small salary he can offer out of tho funds in his bünds? Are experienced teachers expected to teach for $1.00 per day with three and one-half months in a term when they can get $1.80 to $2.00 per day and from live to six months in one term? "You pays your money and has your choice," but if you want a good choic3 you must pay as much money. Now we hop that John S. will not "do so again" or "show red tape" without making himself understood. Youxo Tkacuer.
