FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1870.

The State Normal School.

We can hardly imagine why the editor of the New Albany Ledger, displays so much feeling against the State Normal School, located in this city. Why, Mr. Ledger, it is just a much your school as it is ours. Your money helped to build it, and so did ours. You ought to know, just as well as we do, that the State of Indiana should have a Normal School located somewhere within her borders. We can hardly believe that your attacks upon your property, and our property, are excited by any feeling of jealousy. What, then, is the matter, and why do you say, "That the StateN ormal School has now been open several months, and it has not an attendance of students greater in number than a district school in the remote sections of the State. The people of Terre Haute charge students such high rates for board that none but the rich can afford to attend the school"?

It never was contemplated that the large and commodious building, erected by the munificence of the people of this city, and in the discharge of a duty incumbent upon the Legislature of the State, would at once be filled with students. A Normal School is a new thing in this State, and it is expccted to grow. The building was made to meet the expected required wants of 10, and 20 and 50 years from now. The school starts out as well as was expected by its warmest friends. It is under the control of competent and experienced teachers and under the law, the tuition is free to all.

As to the price of board in this city, we have but this to say: There are places in this city where board is high—there are other places where it is low. It will run from $3 per week to $25 each week. Like every other city, there are all kinds of prices for board. There is no business in which competition is greater than in keeping boarders. It is not only so here, but everywhere else. It depends, in a great measure, upon the price of what supplies the table. There is no city in the State which has a cheaper market than Terre Haute, and we therefore conclude there is no place in the State where board can be procured on more reasonable terms. Of course, students coming here, either ladies or gentlemen, should procure board in accordance with their ability to pay. But board, in respectable families, can be procured on as reasonable terms here as anywhere else in the State.

But in speaking of the Normal School, the editor of the Ledger is pleased to say further:

It has failed to beget the least enthusiasm in its favor. It seems to have started off on the narrow principles of moneymaking, and to be conducted in a nambypamby manner of inefficiency that is likely to sink it into the obscurity of a onehorse concern.

Perhaps one of the great reasons, if such is the fact, why the Normal School has "failed to beget the least enthusiasm in its favor," is, that just such persons as the editor of the New Albany Ledger has been misrepresenting it that, without sufficient knowledge in relation to the matter, they have steadily endeavored to discredit the institution, its management, and the city where it is located. Take, for instance, the assertion that the school has "started off' on the narrow principles of money-makting." Who can expect to make money out of the Normal School? Where is there any money to be made? The professors are paid a salary by the State—that is all they can get. In a city the size of Terre Haute, the competition in boarding houses is very great—no money can be made off the students in this way." Then where and how can money be made? Will the distinguished editor be more specific, and give some facts to sustain the above statement?

The Ledger says further: "But we cannot say that we take special pleasure in the additional fact that Terre Haute has the use of the Normal School buildings as a High School for its public schools."

The editor of the Ledger is evidently equally badly posted in this particular. It was a condition precedent, when the city of Terre Haute gave $50,000 toward the erection of this building, and tore down one of her largest school houses, and gave the sight—which is the most eligible in the city—on which to erect the State Normal School, that one room of the same should be used for the

City High School. The Legislature so understood it, and if the editor of the Ledger did not, "more's the pity."

But the cat in the meal tub, pretty conclusiively shows its claws in the conclusion of the Ledger's article, which we copy below: "We are in favor of State Normal Schools, we advocated the establishment of one in

Indiana, but we wanted it located at Bloomington, where it naturally belongs, alongside the State University. Had it been so located it would have been a success. Where it is now located it cannot be anything else than a fifth or sixth rate institution, sucking its sustenance from the State Treasury, unless its management is placed in the hands of live, energetic educators, and the people of Terre

Haute so reduce the rates of boarding as not to require the entire winter and spring earnings of the teacher to pay his or her board bills during a single term's attendance on the institution."

If the editor of the Ledger had ceased his hostility, when he found the institution could not be loeated at Bloomington, but was located, erected, and in successful operation at Terre Haute, he would have acted the part of a wise man, a good citizen, and a discreet journalist. It would have been a success, says the editor, had it been located at Bloomington. Why, my dear sir, Bloomington is only two and one-half hours ride from Terre Haute, and the expense from there here is but a trifle. How then could this institution have been more of a success there, than here? Living is as cheap here as there. The location is as healthy here as there. The climate as salubrious, and the avenues to all the rest of the world much greater here than there. But

we are compelled to admit that Bloomington is fifty miles nearer New Albany, than is Terre Haute. The milk in the cocoanut may be accounted for, in a great measure from this fact.

It becomes more necessary that we should make reply at this time, since the Journal of this city, in its issue yesterday, copied into its columns the Ledger article, and in an editorial item actually endorsed the same.

Land Granting—A Congressional Fraud. We do not desire to be understood as opposed to the building of railroads from the Western States to the Pacific coast. We are in favor of all the roads now in contemplation of being built. Nothing will develope the country faster than the completion of these roads. If they were all finished now, the immense plains this side of the Rocky Mountains, and the rich valleys on the other side, would soon be the homes of a hardy and industrious people. From all parts of the world, escaping from the despotisms of other governments, will come the immigrant, to secure a home where he can be an independent man, and dying, leave his children free. No one acre of these lands should be so disposed of that they will be beyond the reach of actual settlers. The man who is willing to make his home on any of those lands, and cultivate them, should have a fee simple right to them. His claim to as much as he can cultivate is higher and better than the Government's itself. Every man has the right to a home on the public domain, wherever he is willing to erect his cabin and plow the soil, if he does not interfere with prior individual rights of others. This is law, common law, National law, which ought not to be interfered with by Congressional acts.

If railroads can not be built over this vast domain by individual enterprise, we are in favor of the General Government affording the necessary aid to them, to secure the building of roads on an economical basis. This the Government can well afford to do, and we think ought to do. But we are opposed to the bill which recently passed Congress, and is now in the hands or the President awaiting his signature, giving to the North Pacific Railroad Company, a donation of public lands, equal, it is said, to nearly 41,000,000 acres, being a strip twenty miles in width and sixteen hundred miles long, with the privilege to the company of mortgaging those vast possessions to procure the means to build the road, and preventing actual settlers from having homes thereon. What a vast region of God's footstool is here given away to a company of sharpers, and forever placed beyond the reach of the bold and enterprising pioneer, whose good rifle and the sturdy strokes of whose ax, opens those fruitful bottoms and luxuriant prairies, to civilization and happiness. Is this right, honest laboring men of the West?

In the passage of this bill through Congress, those who opposed it made an effort to engraft upon it, a provision that the lands thus given away, should be thrown open to actual settlers, for a price not exceeding $2.50 per acre. This was voted down by the friends of the measure, they not being willing to take that amount per acre. At $2.50 per acre, tbis immense grant would amount to $100,000,000. Is not this alarming? Is it not calculated to build up large monopolies that will sometime seize on the great interests of the country, and control them? "In the name of all the people," we protest against this. As a partner, having an equal interest in the lands with any other citizen, we put in our solemn protest. We can do this—can we do more? -In looking over the list of the members of Congress whose votes helped pass this monstrous swindle, we find that of D. W. Voorhees. Does he represent his constituents in that vote He is charged with being the attorney of the company that has robbed the people of this rich, and almost boundless territory. Is this true, and if so, should this unfaithful representative be longer continued as the servant of this people, at Washington? Has he, who was sent to represent the interests of an honest constituency, joined a ring of scoundrels, and become their chief and leader Voters of the Sixth Congressional District, do you not think these are questions you ought to look into? You and your children may have a vital interest in the solution of these very questions. Your representative has voted both ways, for and against this Northern Pacific Railway. Why this Is that the way conscientious and reliable members of the National Legislature act? He does this to deceive you. The odious measure becomes the law, and he has exerted all his personal influence in its favor. When it did not affect its passage, he voted against it. Does not this conduct on the part of a man who is sent to Washington to represent you, demand a careful investigation at your hands?

For the Gazette.

Art Thoughts.

TASTE.

The artist's troubles are legion. Listen to the remarks of fifty persons, concerning a picture. Scarcely two will agree about it. Each one has his own perceptions of color, light, shadow, composition, and takes impressions accordingly. One says, too red, another, too pale, a third, too lightt a fourth, too dark, and so on, till all have given a verdict, and all differ. Even artists themselves, see nature differently, and each one paints the same scene or object as he sees it, and no two paint alike. Now, who shall decide for them Only those who have seen the subject with their own eyes, studied it carefully, as the artist did, are capablc to form a true judgment of the picture. The accuracy of that judgment will be in proportion to their acquaintance with nature. The picture selected depends upon the taste of the judge. The one who prefers a highly colored, bold treatment, takes that. Another prefers the subdued, hazy one, and takes that. So each artist is best, in his own peculiar way, to the taste of his patron. Each one having copied nature, as it looked to him, each one has told a truth. Let those who have read that truth, pronounce on the picture.

BELIEF.-

Here, again, we have to deal with the laws of perspective, not with color. Light and shadow are the principal means to be used. The dimensions of the object in the picture govern the amount of light ana shade, while distance governs the effect. Go close to a

Stetire

icture, its details look flat and lifeless, from it slowly, as in studying color, and you see, as you recede, everything becoming more relieved, till each object is conspicuous, as the distance gives the light and shadow their full effect, producing the roundness necessary to separate the details, and giving life, tone and expression.

All know that this is the first part of the pupil's study. But I wish only to .k to those

speal

love pictures as such.

You are looking at a picture that is sitting on the floor, or the easel, below your eyes. If a portrait, the nose may strike

level with your eyes, as it is raised higher, it points downward All lines on a flat surface follow the eye, turning as the spectator moves, sloping up or down, as they get below or above the eye, in proportion to the height or the person looking at them. When the lines are not correctly drawn, they give a false perspective, and made objects that were intended to be level look steep. This is seen in a floor, or table-top, on which objects rest, and the spectator wonders how anything can stay there it looks as though they would slide off. Architects and sculptors know that they must work in harmony with this law or their labor is in vain. They have less difficulty than the painter, because their work does project, while the other only seems to do so, and depends on the artist's power in drawing, light and shade, and a complete knowledge of chairoscuro."

From the Indianapolis Journal. The State Normal School. The Sentinel republishes, with apparent endorsement, an article from the New Albany Ledger, very severely reflecting upon the State Normal School. The Ledger is replying to a little paragraph in the Terre Haute Express, and in order to get at what we desire to say the more clearly, we reproduce sufficient of the article to give the points of the Ledger's objections. "The State Normal School has now been open several months, and it has not an attendance of students greater in number than a district school in that remote section of the State. The people of Terre Haute charge students such high rates for board that none but the rich can afford to attend the school. It has failed to beget the least enthusiasm in its favor.

We cannot take

pleasure in the stupid, not to say venal, arrangement that separated the Normal School from the State University, where it prooerly belongs.

Where

it is now located, it can not be anything else than a fifth or sixth rate institution, unless the people of Terre Haute so reduce the rates of boarding as not to require the entire winter and spring earnings of the teacher to pay his or her board bills during a single term's attendance on the institution."

There are some institutions which start off with "enthusiasm," and there are others again which pursue the even tenor of their way. These two plans were before the Normal School Board when they opened the institution to the use of the public. As it seems to us, the Board very wisely chose the quiet course, wherein results are to take the place of newspaper puffs, and earnest, faithful, intelligent workiis to supplant the "enthusiasm," the absence of which the New Albany Ledger so greatly mourns. We venture the assertion that the editor of the New Albany Ledger has never paid a single visit to the Institution, has not talked with a solitary member of the Board or Faculty, nor yet interchanged a word with any one of the many students which have already availed themselves of the privileges of the school. He bases his ejections solely upon the fact that newspapers of the State have not been full of fulsome compliments, and that its President mayhap is rather a man of practical common sense and great reserve, than a seeker for notoriety, or an educational comet. The Normal School opened just in the middle of the school year, when, of course, the number of teachers who could attend was necessarily small. Yet it opened under the most favorable auspices, and at the commencement of its second term the number of students was more than doubled. Surely this does not be speak a very decided failure. On this point, however, people must be permitted to enjoy their own opinion, irrespective of the facts. There are people who will always believe that some corn doctor or other, who plasters half the adjacent country with forty-pica posters, setting forth his pre-eminent abili ty to cure every disease to which flesh is heir, must be a greatly more valua ble physician than the unobtrusive, hard student, who is content to build up his reputation by years of constant work and successful practice. And in saying this we do not enter the "ethical" contest. We have opinions upon that question which have no pertinence here. The comparison indicated will be easily apprehended, and serves to point the moral. President' Jones, of the Normal School, "is working for results, and by them he is willing to be judged. The Ledger, we presume, expected him to have sent out a regiment or brigade of finished teachers within the "several months" in which the Normal School has now been opened.

The endless controversy as to the location of the school in connection with the State University we do not propose to enter. Suffice it to say, that there is no Normal School in the United States so connected. The sphere of the Normal School is separate and distinct frtoa that of any college or academy. It has to do with men and women after they have acquired their education, and learn them the most philosophic manner of imparting to others the information of which they are already in possession, Judging from the way the Ledger talks, it is not unkind to assert that its editor knew nothing whatever of the nature of his subject, when finding fault with the Normal School.

The board question can be better understood by figures. In Greencastle board ranges up to about four dollars in Bloomington it is between three and four dollars, while in Terre Haute it ranges from lour dollars and one-half to five dollars. Considering all the facts in the case: that the city of Terre Haute is furnished with the best instruction for a large number of its children almost free, its citizens should make some effort to reduce the price of board to students upon the Normal School to the very lowest possible rates. But, at five dollars per week, it is difficult to see wherein the Ledger can found a charge that none but the rich can afford to partake of Normal School advantages.

But we have been betrayed into saying n*°?e than we cared to. The opposition of the Democratic party and press to all educational institutions is too well-known for a doubt to be entertained as to the reason of this attack on the Normal School. Better teachers, more school houses, a wider diffusion of knowledge is death to the Democracy. Hence the managers have issued an encyclical to their faithful editors and speakers to oppose, to the bitter end, anythfhg like educational progress. Ignorance is Democracy. A Normal School must always be its enemy. The Board of Trustees and the Faculty of the Indiana School can therefore expect nothing else than the relentless hostility of the Democracy, through its press, from its rostrums, and in its legislation. The Republican party is the party of colleges, school houses, and spelling books.

HANCOCK-GRANT.

The Cause of the Unpleasantness Between Them. On the 13th of April, Gen. W. S. Hancock addressed the following telegram to Gen. Sherman, dated St. Louis:— "If my rank will not entitle me to a division, and the changes in the department are such as to make it practicable, I would prefer this (St. Louis) station. I leave at once for St. Paul."

The next day Gen. Sherman replied:— "General: I have laid your dispatch of the 13th, from St. Louis, before the President, who has authorized me to say that your wishes and claims for succession to the military command of the division of the Pacific, made vacant by Gen. Thomas's death, were fairly considered, and also your preference for the

department of the Missouri in case of a change in its commander, were also known to him, but he has ordered otherwise. The President also authorizes me to say to you that it belongs to his office to select the commanding Generals of divisions and departments, and that the relations you choose to assume towards him, officially and privately, absolve him from regarding your personal preferences. The order announcing these changes will be made public in a very few days, and -they will not touch the department of

Dakota or the military division of the Missouri. I am, with sincere respect, Yours, truly. c. .W. T. SHERMAN, General."

General Hancock replied from St. Paul, April 27

General:

You letter has been receiv

ed, detailing the reasons the President gives why my claim to a more important command should not be regareded. I intended by my dispatch to ask for a division, if the existing divisions were all continued otherwise, if changes were made, if practicable—not as a favor but as a claim—the command to which I thought my rank entitled me. As the President leads me to believe that because I have not his personal sympathy, my preferences for a command will not be regarded, notwithstanding my rank, I shall not again open the subject, but will add in conclusion that I think it is unfortunate in the President to establish that military rank in time of peace, especially in the assignment of general ofcers to command of divisionsand departments, shall not have the consideration hitherto conceded to it.

I am very respectfully, your obedient servant, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK. The reference in General Sherman's letter to the relations which Gen. Han cock chooses to assume toward- the Pres ident, officially aud personally absolving the President from regarding Gen. Hancock's personal preferences, is thus explained. At the time the reconstruction acts were put in operation, General Han cock was transferred from the department of the Missouri to the district of Louisiana. Grant as Geneial-ia-Chief modified or revoked one ofHancock's orders, to which the latter took strong personal exception Shortly after, by order of .the President, Hancock was assigned to command the division of the Atlantic, and came to Washington. He went to Grant's headquarters, but instead of call ing on him personally, simpiy registered his name, which was unusual and considered discourteous. Grant having no knowledge that Hancock was offended with him, meeting him on the street shortly afterward, accosted him in friendly way—"Good morning, Han cock." To this Hancock made no verba! response, but merely touched his hat and passed on. Some time subsequeot the two met at a wedding party, when Haucock turned his back on him. Grant was also informed that Hancock had boasted ot bis discourtesy to hi mon the street When Hancock issued an order for the removal of certain persons in New Orleans, correspondence took place between the two Generals on the subject when Hancock used language which was considered disrespectful in a subordinate to his superior officer.

From the LaFayette Journal. The Present Congress.

Congress has resolved to adjourn on the 15th of July. Candor compels us to say that, up to this time, the work of that body is not satisfactory to the people. Entirely too much of the session has been consumed in the discussion of merely political questions. We look in vain for the results which an overtaxed people have aright to demand of legislation at Washington. Congress should remember that it is responsible to the people and not to the great monopolists who throng its lobbies with their hands Ml of greenbacks and bills for the benefit of thenprivate enterprises. The life of a, Con gressmaii in Washington City is beset with so many temptations to forget whence he came or whither he is going, that he needs to say the Lord's prayer (except the invocation for diurnal bread) morning, noon and night.

The tariff, it is true, has not been raised, but the majority of the people expectedit to be reduced. No funding bill has been passed, and we greatly fear, because the National Banks have had too much influence in defeating the measure in their own interests. There has been no re-distribution of the currency, whereby the wants of the West and South have been supplied, because, we fear, localized capital has found out questionable ways to multiply the influence of its representatives on the floors of Congress. The great land cormorants have not been frightened from their secure perches, because they have become too much do mesticated, and the feeding of them not an unprofitable business. But we will not make out a lengthier bill of complaints at the present time. There remain yet nearly two months for action, and it may be that Congress will improve the time left. If it shall not, it will hardly be an exercise of the gift of prophecy to predict that if the people are not cheated out of an expression of their will by the miserable chicane of caucuses and conventions, very few of its members will be returned.

Members of Congress, who have been elected by a well organized political party, rely largely upon the silence of their party press, in all cases where criticisms would place arguments in the mouths of party opponents. Indeed, they are the first ones generally, after themselves furnishing the grounds of complaint, to raise the cry of "disorganized' against any paper that dares to tell the truth in regard to them. Happily the Republican press of the country does not belong to Congressmen, or to their political patrons. For the most part, it is sustainad by the creat public and owned by men who conduct it in the interest of the public The immense monopolies which^ spend their money in lobbying at Washington, have found Republican papers generally too honest, and too pecuniarily independent, to be bribed into silence or speech. So long as the public makes it to the interest of the press to be outspoken in regard to public wrongs, whenever or by whomsoever perpetrated, so long will the public be conserving its own interests.

Now let Congressmen who wish to be returned to their seats, or who wish to retain the respect of tneir constituents, for the remaining portion of the session, emancipate themselves from the absorbing influences of the Capital and address themselves to the performance of their duty to the country.
