McChesney. As noticed iv last issue of Spectator this estimable and physician breathed his last on Monday night, the 17th about 12 o'clock-' Dr. McChesney was born near Middlebrook in this county and having graduated in medicine at Philadelphia, located here, where, up to the time of his death, he had an extensive practice. During the war he was Post-surgeon here, and afterwards became proprietor of the American Hotel, which he conducted for a number of years, at the same time attending with his usual alacrity to all calls upon his professional skill. He was a man of strong feelings, impulsive, warm-hearted, devoted to his family and firm in his friendship.

Charity to the poor was oue of his marked characteristics and many an ble heart beats with warm recollection of his many unostentatious deeds of kindness. He leaves a wife and eight children: Wm. B. Mc- Chesney, editor of the Republican Aberdeen, Dakota; Dr. J.

Newton McChesney, member of the New York City Board of Health; John Mc- Chesney, Banker, and Walker, Clerk, both ln business in Aberdeen, Dakota; Mrs. W. T. Yarbrongh and Mrs. Lina Cone, of Richmond, and Misses Maggie and McChesney of this city.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. Booker, on last Thursday, at 11 o'clock, at the late residence of the deceased MfA the burial took place in Thornrose cemetery, the following gentlemen acting as pall-bearers: Drs. Geo. S.

JL CARD. In retiring from tlie mercantile business, I cannot refrain from expressing the regrrt I feel in thus severing tlie relation that has so pleasantly existed with my patrons since Sept. Ist, 1871. I desire to thank my many friends, and the public generally, tor the very generous manner in which they have patronized me during these many years. Having become a member of the Board of Directors of Tbe Staunton Life Association of Virginia, which was organized March 2nd, ISPS, I was elected Secretary of the same.

Its business having grown far beyond our most sanguine expectations, I found it was necessary to sell my hardware business, which 1 did on the 12th to Messrs. A. G.

Je22-tf SPECTATOR AND GENERA I. A VKRTIBEB. Report of Teachers' Meeting. At the Teachers meeting, held at the office of Couuty Superintendent of Public schools Staunton, on Saturday, March 15th, 1381. Rev.

A. Hoover was elected permanent President and Robert J. Dyche elected Secretary. Mr. Hoover thanked the teachers for the honor conferred upon him and explained tlie object of the Convention.

Mr. Jordan read the PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTION'S. Whereas the present school-law of Virginia, by its enforced nothing except to i close the school-houses or turn them iv to nurseries for children under school age, or defraud the teacher of his just wages, and put upon him burdens grievous' to bear; and whereas time and experience have fully developed the lact tbat a compulsory average without a compulsory attendance is not simply an absurdity, but a gross and palpable outrage upon the teacher, holding him and him only responsible for that which he can neither remedy nor hcl is; i and whereas the evidence is abundant for believing that, "enforced average" is but another name tor "death" to the public free schools of 1 Virginia; and whereas, by subjecting the teacher to frequent examinations, nothing is effected, except to humiliate him, and put upon him an Indignity which is put upon the fol- i lowers of no profession, and which serves no purpose except to drive every one out of the profession that can get out; be Resolved Ist, That we, the teachers of Au- aust.ii county in convention assembled, do hereby pray the Boaj-d of Education ol the State of Virginia to cause to be stricken from i the school law or regulations that part of tlie law or that regulation wherein thp teacher's Ralary Ir made to depend upon the average daily attendance of his school; that the school 1 law be so amended as to read: That when tlie contract is made between the teacher and the District School Board that the teacher be contracted with to teach the school without any reference whatever to the subject of average thai will inure to the detriment of the teacher. Resolved'lnd, That inasmuch as the follow, rs of no profession, nor any of the public servants of the State, except the public free school teachers, are required to be vexed and liarasneu by constantly recurring examinations; and Inasmuch as leading educators and State Su- perintendents in other States discountenance the practice and pronounce needless, and in- stead of giving expansion to the broad field of literature, works contraction; and inasmuch as it needlessly subjects the public school te tojan infinite amount of troufile, vex- i ation, and expense, from which there seems to be no relief, we further pray the Board of Education of the State of Virginia that it cause the school law thus to read That when any teach- er has passed a satisfactory examination, and has furnished satisfactory-evidence of capacity and general fitness, reaching an average of at least 90 per cent, upon questious submitted upon examination, that he be furnished a commission to teach in the public free schools of the State, which shall stand in full force so long as no just reason appear why it should be revoked. i The above were adopted unanimously.

Mr. Bucher said: I think it only ju-t while we are discussing school laws, that teachers should have a choice, or at least advice, in the selection of County Superintendent. This, sir, is the first time that we have had a practical teacher to fill this position, and I think that the Superintendent should always be selected from among the ranks, but heretoiore we have had a lawyer or a doctor. Why, sir, we would be laughed at if we proposed to make a blacksmith a medical examiner, or a carpenter to issue a license to our young expounders of Biackstone. We ask but Justice, and justice let us demand.

Mr. Jordan said: I agree with the gentleman; but do nx-t let us attempt too much at once. There is time sufficient for that. We may he like Davy Crockett says, "Bite off more than we cau chaw." Let us confine ourselves to the immediate red tape business of school warrants, and I cannot nnde. stand why the teachers hard-earned salary is so hedged, about by school officers.

The amount is too small to steal; still he is compelled to send his report to the County Superinteudent, and he gives the teacher a receipt, which he takes to the Clerk of the Board; said Clerk then gives a warrant on County Superintendent, and Superintendent gives another warrant on County Treasurer; then the Treasurer gives teacher a check on the bank, and by the time the teacher gets his money he has earned it a second time. Mr. Farrier asked if the School Board can changn the law by which a teacher gets his pay. Referred to a committee to ascertain with regard to this fact. Mr.

Farrier advocated an increase of salary. The present one is insufficient. Mr. Jordan didn't know what could be done about that, unless Congress appropriates for tills purpose, as it is said it will, according lo the illiteracy of each State. Mr.

Hoover said: teachers will tbs-n-c messed; IB I expect th get rich. R. J. Dyche said It is indeed true that are poorly paid, but for one, am willing to earn every dollar I receive from tlie school fund of Virginia. Teachers are supposed to the most lazy class of individuals in existence, and said patrons think any body could teach school who could be lazy enough.

It would be a most unheard of piece of effrontery to increase their pay. How shall we do then? Let them extend the sessions to tefi months, paying us the same salary per mouth that we now reeeiv.3. Show them that we will try to earn it, if they consider teaching can be called earning it. Mr. Jordan said I know a teacher who receives tlie munificent sum of 314 per mouth, simply because she cannot keep up the average, and she pays 812 per mouth board; and if tho sessions are extended, the average requirement being the same, we will all be iv the same fix.

Mr. Calhoun said: Let us have more pay for what we do now, and extend the sessions afterwards. Mr. Amiss said. So say I.

It is only just, and none can blame what is just. Mr. Bucher said: The Boards locate schoolhouses, andiif they happen to locate one in a corner of a district, and it does not suit the patrons, I do not understand why a teacher must suffer for that. It is not his place to bring tha children every morning. You engage a carpenter.

You must give hirp the lumber to work, or he mnst be paid for his time. It is not his fault. The Board appoints the teacher. Give him the material to work, or pay him. He cannot help it because school-house location cuts an average.

Pay him Mr. Jordan said I move that a committee, consisting of Messrs. Calhoun, Dyche, and Bucher, be appointed to request the Board of Supervisors, when they make their next levy, to do so to the fullest extent allowed by law. Motion carried. Mr.

Amiss said: I move that the minutes of the meeting be published iv all county and city papers. Convention adjourned subject to cull of the President. A. HOOVER, President. R.

"SelMle.once." The following significant article, taken from a colored organ called the Stale Journal, without dissent in the last number of the Indit.itrial Herald, a paper published by colored men in Richmond city. Self-defence is its title: "The colored men of the South aud ofthe North unite, and, as heretofore suggested, the whites ofthe North remain quiet.

We will either put a stop to this hellish affair or die in the attempt. We have suffered too long in silence. The mode suggested seems the only alternative left us, or we must die like curs is a pen; therefore, if our much-oppressed people will only organize, and unless the whitds of the North interfere, we feel competent that we oan teach the Bourbons of the South a lesson that they will not forget so soon as they seem to have forgotten the late war, which was fully live years too short to exterminate entirely the accursed'rebels of our country and murderers of innocent people. It must ultimately come to this. We find no rest at our firesides nor at our labor.

Why then longer stand and be slaughtered like beasts of prey? We ask only for an equal showing. Arm us equivalently and then we will meet shotgun to shot-gun, rifle to rifle, pistol to pistol, cannon to cannon, man to man, on an equal plain. After such an event this trouble will be settled. We therefore would suggest that the colored people throughout the Union at once organ i Specially in the South would wo have the leading spirits take hold of this matter and effect organization that will do them credit. We of the North will not be found wanting.

We are men and freemen, clothed with the rights of other beings and by God endowed with power to think and act. Let us not then longer submit to be like sheep, driven at will, but when struck, strike back with interest. We love our country, its institutions and its laws, but we love our lives and liberty better, and like other nationalities we must protect and defend the things that so vitally concern us. If the Constitution, laws and powers that be are inadequate to defend us, then we who are so greatly concerned must form laws for our own protection. If this course is adopted it will save the Government the useless expenditure of millions of dollars for annual investigations, which only tend to solidify the North against the South, but does nothing toward protecting the colored man in his enjoyment of life, liberty and happiness.

Sound the tocsin the line, that we may all prepare for self-defence. 'Sic Semper After copying the above, the Richmond "What madness. Yet it is the white, not the colored people who are arraigned by Radical politicians, charged with provoking a war of races. It can be seen from this remarkable production of colored men who it is that, filled with an unholy longing for the mixing of races, are ready to precipitate a bloody struggle. Here is fit material for the consideration of the Sherman Investigating Committee." Don't Proposa to Divide Now." To the Editor of the Dispatch: There is one thing that you can safely count on in Virginia, and that is the Democracy have no sort of idea of on the tariff question.

When the time comes I think in other States the party will act in the same way. It would be worse than a crime to let a minor question override far greater questions. What the people want is "to turn out the rascals" now in power, and have the Governmeut run once more, not for the benefit of star-route thieves, monopolists, and rascals, but for their own benefit. The man is blind who cannot see the corruption and tyranny which have grown up in the Republican party by its long lease of power. I still stand on the "Lynchburg platform," but I would uot cane a fig if you had every day a pure "freetrade" column, au '-'incidental protection" column, and a "high protective tariff" column, and I think that is the feeling among the Democrats genei-ally all through the State.

Men who have fought so long against the Republican party have too much sense, on the eve wf'a fair prospect of a victory, to divide oa a minor thing which is out of their powcf to settle any way until a change is made in ihe presidency. Old Democrat. Prof. SefVu a. of Medical Faculty, llvai.

D. Atchison in Highland county as a Bourbon murder. He says: "Atchison was hanged, not for cutting Ritckman, but becuuse he was a Vermont man and a Republican, and this dastardly act must be charged to the Bourbon Democrats of Highland county." Sid. Ruckman, whom Atchison cut slightly, and for which offense he wits hanged, was Mahone's County Superintendent of free schools for Highland county, and we are informed creditably that every man who has been indicted us being one of the mob is a Mahoneite, whilst Atchison was a Republican who voted with the Democrats. It would be impossible to conceive of a paper like the Chicago 'Tribune employing a correspondent so devoid of truth as this one, were not such lies and liars the preferred concomitants of the Mahone press of Virginia and its confreres without the State.

With Mahone, Riddleberger, "Trick Mule," and a horde of vassals to do their bidding, all heaping their slanders on Virginia, the people abroad, if they believed them, would avoid the State as they would an adder. There is certainly enough in this Atchison affair to command the attention of Mr. Sherman, and the matter ought to bo investigated and give additional weight to the approaching Republican campaign. P. tho Rockingham Register, March Kind Words from Messrs.

Editors: have been a reader of the Rockingham Register and Staunton Sr f.ctatoii for forty years, and it affords me great pleasure to endorse them as abreast with the advanced thought of the age, and as worthy of the great counties of Augusta aud Rockingham. They have stood like a rock for the interests of the people, against the ambition of bosses, the encroachmant of monopolists, and the dishonest schemes of public robbers. The Spectator since the days of Kenton Harper, and the Rockingham Register, from A Vartmann to the present, have battled for the right, and hurled back with defiance every insinuation calculated to tarnish the fair name or impede the onward course of their countrymen. In peace, as well as war, they have been with us heart and soul; rejoicing when we rejoiced and weeping when we wept. Genuine sous to the manor born; bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.

Progress. In referring to the article of which the above is an extract, the Register says: "We assure our good friend, "Progres," that we highly appreciate his kind wolds, and intend, Providence permitting, to continue in the same faith in the future. We have not grown tired of the teachings of our fathers, but revere and endorse them more heartily as time goes on." We say, "Ditto to Mr. Burke." Only Two National Parties. There are two great national parties in the United Democratic and the Republican, 'Ihe Republican party, as we have frequently shown, stands for corruption, monopoly, extravagance, sectionalism, centralization, official aristocracy.

-Tho Democratic party, on the other hand, represents the people and battles for the people's It believes in an economical administration ofthe affairs ofthe Government, it believes in reducing the burdens of the poor, it believes in invesflgating official scandals and in punishing official wrong-doers. In a word, the Democratic party stands for reform. One of its important issues is antimonopoly, just as the support and encouragement of monopolies is one of the issues of the Republican party. Now, if the socalled anti-monopoly party really wishes to accomplish anything, its members should be in the Democratic party. By organizing an independent party the anti-monopolists stirely defeat their object.

All reform must come through the Democracy, and it is well for the people of the country to bear this in mind. Gigantic monopolies have sprung up which threaten the interests of the people. If they are allowed to continue all legitimate trade will be crippled and honest competition will be throttled. The Republicans are responsible for this wrong; the Democrats will correct it if they are successful in the comipg election. Richmond State.
