As near ny ean be nscor- talned, the forgeries hnve been committed nt Intervals for soms time past, and were fowmnd ont by n mere accllent, ns Mr Swezey had protected the notes before maturity, 1tis alleged tnt he made notes, using the names of well-known Westerr firms, indorsed them with the firm name of Swezey & Dart, and sold them tirough Drokers, prinetpally through O.

Mowever, this was act counted for by the presumption that tho firms gave the notesto oblige Swezey & Dart, ns they were known to have n small capital to handle suchi a large nmount of the Warner wraps, of which they were the agents, and that these tiring made an excep- tion in thelr favor, In all eases W PROTECTED THESKE NOTES beforo they beeame due by rafsing the funds to meet them or by Issuing other notesofa similar nature. There are several storles concernbng the manner in which the figures became known.

Theic principal account is tho “leerless” warp, _manufact- ured by Warner & Co. Mr. Sweze! on Dee, 20 stated that the firni was worth 245,000, all of which was in the business, and thut it had no borrowed money. In the trade they were lonked upon tavorably as live, active men. Mr. Dart is believed to bo TIRE: NNOCENT of any connection with the forgeries, having been tha victim of his partner. Tho trade spoke very highly-of him yesterday, and o met with great fiyumnth{il In the trade it is thought that the Joss will fail lightly upon the peneral creditors, as it {3 the fmpresslon that tho note-brokers are the chief sufferers, sinee they aro required to protect the forged paper, having sold it a3 genunine.

BOUTHERN POLICY. 1t must sufllce to say, by way of cloge, that toward the South Gen. Garfield means to carry out a conciliatory but firm poliey, one which shall glve no honorable Southern man just causo of complaint, but which will insist on the recognition of equnl political rights everywhere. ‘I'ho whites must recoguize the constitutional fact that the blacks are citizens, and that the rights of noclnss of citizong cun bo attacked without Injury and danger to all, FOR THE REST you will find that bhe wiil favor such n revislon of tho twwifl ns the grent manufacturing Interests of tho country are now ealling for, n revislon In the Interests of, and not hostile to, home industry, Ile will favor important internal Improvements needed to perfeet or enlarge the system of cheap fiternal communleation and to facilitato home commorce, GEN.

A, March, LL. D. Almost nll the lilologists are educators, yIn 1874 I hnd oceasfon, as Iresfdent of the American Filologienl Assoclation, to men- tlon in the annual address the tronbles of filglogists with our inconsistent aud nwblg- taus alfabat, and thelr desire for o well-speit language. On that niat, I suppose, 1 way invited to address the State Tenchers’ Asso- ciation of Pennsylvania on the .subject, nud at the meethyy of 1835 I enlarged on these toples, and expressed the hope that teachiers and Investigators might unite in an effort for reform, 5 1n respouse It was sald by leading members of tho Associatfon that they had nfways wished to have our spelling Improved, that they always had supposed that these strangn spellings were preserved for the benefit of the Nlologists, aned that, If the flologists dld not want then, nobody else did. Iles- olutions were accordingly passed, and acom- mitteo appointed to aet la conjunction with the Filological Assoclation In favor of | I reform. y Shmllar action was taken the “samo year by the State ‘leachers’ Association of New dJersey. \ 1n 1876 an International Convention, In be- halfof nmending English orthografy, was held at Philudeiphin, and a Spelling Reform Assoclation way formed. Most of the mem- bers ware teachers, ‘They appenled to. the Anetlenn Fllological Assocationto telt them what to do, Action in fayor of reform has since been taken by the State Teachers’ Associntfons of Now York, Ohto, lown, Mnssachusetts, Wi constn, Missonrl, and Vireinlas by tho Na- tiona! Edueational Associntion, the American Institute of Instruction, and wnny staller fgsociations of cducators, Iu two’or thres State Assoclations there, have been lively discusslons without further .actlon, —Tho uard of Education of the City of Chieago, n 1878, unanimously adopted " n resolution, *That the Sceretary of the Doard corre- spond with the prineipal School [Soards and cducntionnl assoclations of the country with n view to cobperation n tha reform of En- glish spulllnp‘." Some part of the nction above referred to lins been taken in rnswer to this Chicago appent. Much of it Iy in tho form of memoriuls to tho Lexislatures of tho Unlted States and the several States, usking them to appoint commissions to examin and report upon the reform. State Comuiissions Dave been authorlzed by, the Legislatures of Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvanin, ‘The memoriuls to Congress have recelved favorable consideration from the Committee of the Llouss on Education and Labor, one of wheom, Mr. Ballou, of Rhodo Isiand, has re- ported bifl cunslfumng n connnissfon. Professors In our colleges and normnal schools have promoted’ the formation of spelllug-reform associations among . stu- dents, The experlence of the University of Illinois and of Oberlin College indleato thaf wherever an eariiest member of . good Western College will lead the way, the whole :nslltu!lon, substantially, will ‘foin the re- ‘orn. *In England the latest fose of ‘the spelllnf- roforni movement is very similar to that In Amerlen, In 187 the National Union of Ele- mentary Teachers passed a resolution In fayor of n Royal Commisslon® to Inguire Into the n,mll}m; of the languaze; it was tnken up brv the Schioo! Boards and eminent educittors ail through the conntry,and finully presented in 1878 to the Lord President of tiie Counell, Both in Americe and Great Brituin the edu- catiounl journanls have opened tholr coltmns freoly to the discussion of the reform, and some of them have used nended nl:ullln(; in part of their, pages, Brondsldes of oplulons infavorof thereforin from eminenteducators Dy the hundred have been published, In all this coplus expression of Interest I o not know a single schiolar or eminent edu- cator of the new generation who has come out in favor of the old spelling, Two orthree very respectable old functionnxies I have kfit\.vn to protest agalnst trying to get rid 0l This state of opinlon nmong tenchors wns ahimost o matter of course. I'ew professions have ehanged ns muel g teaching n the Inst halt century. The old spirit and method which hnd thelr insignin In the rod have passed away., A new spirit of love and progress anitiates the teacher of to-duy, The ablest minds refolca to serva the profession, They study the children, Invent apparatug and methods, wrlte books for them, muke art and Nuture tributary to thelr lmf)rovmuenc and en{nymunt. 1t was Lmpossible that tho crles of generntion aftor generntion over the puzzles of spelling should pass unhenrd, ur Amertenn teachers hitve long worked at the problem of jmproving the methods of teaching vewding, We have many skilfully- arranged primers and - churts with' beautitul pletoral ilustrations. We have the fonle method, the word miethod, the word pieture umiethod, the fonetic method, Wa have Lelgh's pronouncing orthografy, an in' tlowof moditied letters, by the use of which, 1 printed books, ono ot two years of school lifo are saved In learnine to rend. Prof, Richards, of Washington, . C., bas also de- vised an excellent muthod of applylng fonetic Prlucl ples to teaching the beglnniugs of rend- nfi without the use of new letters, ut all theso contrivances of lotters aud methods are eomplieated machinery to teach an unteachable, whimslenl nass ‘of anom- nlies; they are poor shifts to which we nre driven by the wantof u proper alfabet, and reasonable spelling, H And so it 18 casy to ses why teachera havo been, and will be, the main promoters and the biest hopo of the spelling reform. ‘Tloy need the reform most, . They understand 1% best, ‘Chey must teach it to” tho generation whoare to use it. 1t will_lghten tho nost irksomo of thelr lnbors, It "will give them thne far Important studles, » As fnst und s far ay the genernl assent of the community ean be won, teachers will be prompt to use amended spelling in tho hools, 1t may surely ba hoped that thoy witl do their full stiure towavd winning the general ussont, For this litle more i3 needed than speaking out In favor of lmprovement, so that writing nud spelling inay no longer bethought of us wmntters of taste, but may boe recognlzed svery\whers as inuchinery of communication, Iduthe tulegrnf aud printing-press, which overybody e‘vm:l! to lwmprove, |Ini' hy day, ‘Thousands ok words hnd their spelling 1w proved Iy llmll\»t‘};uuumunn. malnly through the Influence of Webster and a few scholany with il ‘Thousmids more are walting the nsscut of the ntelllgent publie.
