? Of the 3(54 Railroads in tlio IJuituJ
States, only 161 pay dividends, '2150 never
paying anything to its stockholders. It is
presumed, however, that thonou-divideoed
roads made tho officers rich.
There are several laws before Congress,.
brought by members of the dominant
party, to this effect:
1. To purchase and run tho tclegaapli
as n (ioverniuent institution.
2. To assume jurisdiction over and reg
ulato the lares of the railroads.
3. To pnsa a National election law, and {
control tho elections nf the country.
4. To eeitu upon and exercise the con
trol of all the Coiuinou Schools in tbo diff
erent States.
5. To onter upon and condemn property i
in the States for the Federal Government, i
without the consent of the Legislatures, or
even against their remonstrance.
G In addition, a Federal Judge in
Louisiana assumes to deride who are State
Canvassers of Votes, and thus foist upon tho
people a Governor, Legislature, county
officers, Ac.

? ?a,
Mr. Sumuor's 3U1 in the Senate.
Mr. Sumner has surprised both friend ,
.ind foe by introducing a bill to erase the
nomes of buttles in the late war. from army
flags and records. This is an act graced
with true inaqnarimity and genuino pat
riatira-;, which unhappily now-a-days is
scarce, when mammon and selfish bias
rule tbo day. It is tho very cssonoo of
patriotism, to heal the wounds of the late
? si?il war and to close up forever the
"bloody chasm" between the northern and
. southero States, and gredt Weed will be ,
tho blessings and honors heaped upon?
him who succeeds in bringing this happy ;
event about. Mr. Suuiner like all men, |
has bis faults, and, though ho was a bit-!
tar, and we believe, a sincere opponent of:
the South, yet we think that such efforts
coining from him, will have untold benellte,1
and bespeak the generous patriotism of the
?man. The permanency of the lluion, wo
believe a fixed fact, and it behooves every
j;ood citizen whether in political or private
life to forget the bloody, and unhappy past,
and with becoming and true patriotism join
hands in reviving * Republic which shall
lie the envy of tho world. Inscribing tho
names of victories on the flags seems at first
4i trifling circumstance, yet there can be no
more effectual mod? of inflaming passion
and keeping ulivc seotional hate, than by
flaunting flags in the faces Of the conquered
with the victories inscribed io flaming cap
itals, or perpetuatiug bitter memories of
f.atricidal strife by filling army records.
therewith. Should Congress pass this bill,
seemingly trivial on its face, it will be an
example of patriotic generosity to every
uiio of their constituents to go and do like
wise. The bill, if pissed, will go far to j
extinguish the smouldering embers of soct
i mal hate and jealousy which still rankles
within the bosoins of many both North and
South. So long as Auteitam and Gettys
burg arc annually celebrated by the sur
vivers reassembling there with there bands
u music, addresses, banners and artillery,
e-i long will each year the wouuds bo torn
open afresh. Each salvo of artillery that
thundered along those heights will awaken
memories of bitter defeat in the S>>utu, and
giatify no other spirit io the North than
actional hate and madness. Suppose the
fllonfcdcratcs were to celcbrato Manassas or
('old Harbor. Tu their honor ?e it said, uo
ruch attempt 1ms ever been made There
is a wise, patriotic, atatesman-like tone in
Mr. Suibmer't bill that, will not fail to
strike deep into the Ireart of every patriot
from Maino to Texas, aud wo believe a
now era of good feeling will date hence,
nnd God grant it may. In an oven t Rome
no victories io civil wars were aR*?cd to

1)kauSiB:?I have the honor to sub
mit herewith, toy annual report for the
year ending August 3Int., 187!. I re
gret my inability to have furnished your
department reports for the past two years
Any omission iu tliin respect hIioiiM be
Attributed to the persistent delinquency
of inefficient and cureless officer*, who
have failed to furnish inr, in lime, the
statistics necessary to frame a report.
I ain huppy, however, to report the
general prosperity of the schools in this
County, The nttendencc of pupils du
ring the year past, cxcoedcd that of any
previous one; and while there is much
room for congratulation in this respect,
it is to be regretted, however, that there
arc many wlio avail themselves very
sparingly, while there are others who
absent themselves entirely from the
benefits of tho schools. Home reform in
this respect demands the serious and
timely consideration of our legislator*.
It evidently behooves them to adopt in
some form the most stringent measures
to check iIih iruaotism.
If a system of public instruction is
; ncccssary to prefer re our Republican
Government and Republican Institution*,
surely the State, the guardian of public
morals nud political life, has the right
to inaugurate such methods as will
implant early in the minds ot its chil
druu the principles nf morality, justice
and love of country. Ity the exercise
of these moral duties, will the citizen
alone be honored and the Stale benefit
ted. Hence it follows, that to secure
; those desirable ends ami as a nutter of
! self-preservation, the law should bo di
reotly applied to compel all to receive
i the beiiefi|S of this general system of ed
ucation, which as a State policy is in
tended to effect these purposes.
I am gratified to report the improved
couditioii and superior qualifications of
the teachers smployed in the county du
ring the school year past. I feel safe
in asserting that they will rank favor
ably with any in the State. Some of
them possess ptofessional skill, literary
attainments and ability sufficient to
honor any institution of learning; while
others, I regret to say, have fallen be !
low tho standard requisite to make
teaching successful or profitable. Hut
owing to tho migratory character of!
many of the applicants,coming as they do1
from other Slates, where they are unable
to pass tho necessary examinations for
certificates to teach, and offering their
services here at such rcducod rates of
tuition, that competent teachers cannot
and will not compete with them, the
qualified teacher is thus pushed aside,
and compelled to seek in some more
genial clime a home where his merits
shall be appreciated, mid his services
dul) rewarded.
What is true of any sphere of busi
ness life, is equally applicable to the
profession of teaching?"where little is
given, little can bo expeeted." Trustees
controlled by false ideas of economy, en
deavor to procure teachers at the lowest
rates, and as a necessary and fatal con
sequence, such only will bo employed,
whose qualifications are of an inferior
order, and the schools under whose con
trol, eau givo but little satisfaction.?
Tho profession of teaching must be ele
vated to an equal rank, at least, with the
liberal professions. Thus will our cliiU
dreu have inducements to look up to
their leathers with respect and the State
a guarantee for tho intellectual and
moral welfare of her literary institutions.
To the approaching session of our
Legislature, the eyes of every friend of
common schools will bo directed with
more than ordinary interest. While we
believe that a great change in our p'es
ent school laws is required and demand
ed to perfect and simplify the system,
yet we entertain grave fears lest too
much precipitation in undoing what is
already established, will result in evil,
rather detrimental, than beneficial to our
schools, and tho cherished hopes of the
masses of the people.
1 would, therefore, respectfully, sub
mit to the calm and deliberate consider
ation of our Legislature, the- retention 1
of our present school system, with such
olmoges only, as will make the execu
tion of our school laws in their applica
tion to the praotical work and duties of
all interested, less complicated and more
intelligible. This will be more econom
ical, and give moro satisfaction to those
who are acquainted with the present
system, than the adoption of a new one,
whose Retails might be of questionable
advantage.
While, however, we entertain the
views above expressed, we would suggest
to those who desire to make a change,
one, which wo deem most important, viz:
the adoption of some plan to elevate the!
standard of professional teaching. This!
end so greatly to be desired, we believe;
will be most speedily effected, by crea
ting iu every county a high school,
where our own youth shall bo taught
and receive a thorough knowledge of
the English, classical aud mathematical
branches; thus will we always have at
command an efficient corps of teachers to
the "manor-bora."
Iu such schools, a system of "pupil
Teaching" should be encouraged ho that
we may bring home to the in my, the
benefits of the normal school without en
tailing the expense and loss of time, nec
essarily attending the latter. We must
educate our own teachers or the system
of fr*e schools will inevitably sink into
untimely decrepitude and become unpop
ular.
The great complaint heretofore, has
been that there wero too many school
oili-'cr-; this is indeed too true. 1 thiul>
the office of trustee should be abolished,
and Boards of Education retained, to
whom all the bu-iue h of the District
shall be intrusted, subject, however, to
tho approval of the count) Superinteud
eat.
Tito executive power of this officer,
(County Superintendent) should be en
larged. It is the experience of eminent
educators in those States where education
ranks as the fir-l consideration of the
people, that without mi efficient system
of school supervision, scuools cannot
prosper. Let us then keep pace in this
respect with those great States whose
prosperity has been the natural out
' growth and result of a liberal system of
education. Their experience, the result
, of years, in school discipline, should be
our guide, to whatever tends to cdue i
i tionuj matters. The experience of the
i elder should guide the younger sisters
in whatever tcuds to -their educational
advancement.
What they demand ai essential to the
vitality and maintenance id' their school
system, should be retained by us as
equally perliucut to tho pffl^ity of
ours. ^
Let the County Superintendent ^^ re
tained, the sphere of his duties enlarged
i and an adequate compensation allowei:
! him for the faithful performance of liis
' duties.
If there has been any reason more
than another why the duties of Superin
tendent have been neglected in tho past,
it is I'ounid in tho fact, that the meager
allowance paid him lor the duties per
formed in the execution of his office,
has not been, by any means, propor
tioned to his time, labor and services.
In this county, (.Mason) extending
hoijio sixty miles a'ong the Ohio, and
twenty miles back therefrom, wero the
County Superintendent to visit only
once a year, all the schools under his
supervision, which would consume three
months of his time,to pay hid own travel
ing expenses, and in the meantime sac
rifice bis professional interests,his devo
tion to the faithful performance of his
duties and l? his fellow nun may be
praiseworthy and patriotic, but the
higher obligation to self and family,
would forbid the sacrifice.
II from deep and conscientious sctu
ples in this respect, the County Super
iutcudenWshould be induced to lorogo
his visits to tho sclioJs, how often do
we hear the cry come up from the incon
siderate and unfeeling, "that the schools
arc not visited, that he is neglecting his
j duties, that ho does not make tne annual
' statistical and financial report of the
' schools of his county,"aud H iards of Su
? pervisors with equal, if not less, discrim
ination and sense of justice, to remedy
tho evil, deduct from the pitiful sum al
lowed him by law, wbat they regard as
an equivalent tor any omission on his
part. This is not only wvoug iu priuei
' pie but unjust in practice.
i In connection with tho office of couuty
j Supcriudcut there Is auothor evil, that I
regard as militating against the pros
' pority aud efficiency of the office; and
! that is his election by the people.
It is, or at least should be, an office
purely civil and moral. The applicant?
as it now exists,?must become more or
less blended with the political is.-ues of
of tho day?must be a politician?the
creature of a party. Hy the appointing
process, (which I hereby recommend)he
is placed beyond the influence of party,
the official of the whole people, and as
such will feel better disposed to dis
charge his duty impartially.
Under the spirit of our new Constitu
tion it is hoped that a new impetus will
be given to tho ouward march ol educa
tion. If ever there was a time that de
* mauded the hearty co-opcratiou of all
interested in education, it is the present.
With the influx ot a uew emigration to
our borders, briuging upon the tidal
wave of progress, new ideas and new cus
toms to be stamped upou the virgin soil
of our young and growing state, we must
bring forth and cultivate now, the moral
and intellectual powers of our people in
order that these catching the inspiration
of this progress may apply in our State
the principles of seicnce, knowledge an 1
skill. _ _ !
Hy fostering a liberal and generous
system of education among the people,!
the State will receive a return in coin
pound ratio far above any investment
she can make for the public good and
general welfare of hor people. Her citi
zens will become more moral, law-abi-;
din ?, patriotic and enterprising.
The great blessings that naturally
flow from the possession of knowledge
will spread over the land aud every home
and fireside shall be made glad iu be
holding the great revolution of ideas, the
display of scientific power,ennobling aud
beaulifyiugthe native State.

A Sad Warning.
A little infant of Mr. Henry Halo, of
tho neighborhood of Uaney's Mill, in this
county, came to its death in a sad manner
about ten days ago. As we are informed,
the infant was fretting and the parents, iu
order to quiet it poured a little water iu a
laudanum vial from which tho liquid had
evaporated aud left the pure sediment of
the opium iu tho bottom, and after shak
ing it up added some of it to a dose of par
ag?ric and gavo it to i child, and
in a short tiino the babo was a eorpso.?
We would not unwittingly open anew the
wounds iu the hearts ot those bereaved
yiwtig parents, but simply note this sad in
cident in tho hope that it may deter others
from falling into a like error, and thus
perhaps, save to some household the jewel
of its delight?Spirit of Jefftrxon.
