Gold cloBed in New at 103J. York Saturday The Bpeech of Rev. James Poindeiter, flSJivered in Cincinnati on the 11th inet., is an important political document; and we embrace the first favorable opportunity after an unusual pressure on our Cok'mna for a week, to present it in full. Mr. Toiudexter is a thorough student of the 8ou'tnern question. Moved by enthusiasm .d sincerity, there is nothing on the sub.'ct which e8CBPes ni" action, and prol1? n man U bettet ad; , is on past and flnrronl h;tn decisions, popular f.1in., nfl in W 8.'1 POintB touching the condition of the e.olort.'l PePle in the South.

It is a speech which will well repay perusal not only on account of the able and consistent treatment of the colortd .lueBtion by a representative colored man, but (or Bound outgivings on the subject of .Honest money. It is the best barometer we have had of the drift of colored Bentiment in this part of the country not because 1 Poindeiter assumes to carry the colon d vote in bis pocket but because his fidel' ity to the interests of the colored man has been persistent and unswerving through the most unpromising times, and of that devoted character which lifts his influence above the mere plane of partisan leadership, NEWARK. All the Candidates for Governor In Town Laat Week. Newark, Ohio, Sept. 16. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : Newark, during the past week, had a profusion of candidates for Governor. On Monday Governor Bond, the work-ingmen's candidate, favored our people with his presence, and in a speech gave bis notions as to how his constituents might remedy their grievances. Summed t,p the placebo waa, first, that State Governments Bhould manage the manufacturing interests and the General Government railroads. On Wednesday evening Governor West wls here and spoke to a very large and appreciative audience. He convinced bis hearers that his theory of government waa bns-d enough to meet the requirements of i'he whole people. On the same evening Governor BiBhop was also in in wnn for the position he seeks. The contrast between the two in the manner in which they pressN their claims for Bup-nnriwu marked. Tn Mr. West was found iu i.iumin unit the .orator the ponent of the principles progressive party. In the other, a band shaker iiio knit7 tn utatK' the second l. 1 . i nf 1.:- fantinn dn EVMv eironinif wa wpm entertained bv overnor Johnson, assisted 7 his 1 lieutenant fLewisl. Johnson is the cfhpring of the Lai' Convention, held in Columbus on thel3t.b inBt., and styles himself candidate for Governor of a party to be known here-1 after as the National party. National party has more style about it than Work-logmen's, and is easier of access to gentlemen of leisure, who desire to join in case it has a future before it ofliceB in the distance, and the chances for which look very Blim. Johnson is a Greenbaclt- er. and wants more money and the Go V- ernorebip. Should bia desires in both lbe ratified (laborine men) Nationalists ne ed have no fear for the future. Bond, Johnson and Lewis would make a good tea .m were it not for a slieht diJerence of opin ion as to the material out of which money should be manufactured. The divide of other peoples could be arranged. The workingmen of thiB place nominated a county ticket yesterday. It was full, not a blank for either of the other parties. They took for Republican support. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL FOREIGN. Continuation of the Fighting before Plevna. The Turks Report the Repulse of the Whole Russian Army.

The spirit prevailing among the Russians and Roumanians is excellent. It ia noticeable that the kGrand Duke Nicholas, in his telegrams, makes no mention oi any luriuer Dame Saturday.

According to previous arrangement the institute was opened on Tuesday morning at half-past eight o'clock. The whole corps of teachers, one hundred and forty- three in number, were in attendance every session. The lirat li ail hour ot enon morning was occupied with short addresses by different persons, upon sub jects of practical value to the teachers. For instruction in the branches ot study and how to teach them, the teachers were divided into five different classes, viz: teachers in primary schools into two i classes, grammar two, and High School one. The instruction of A. E, Burnett, of the Cincinnati public schools on pen manship, waa highly esteemed by the teachers.

The principles of reading were taught by Miss Anna C. Oglevee, of Springfield. She began with gymnastic exercises and drill in the utterance ol tbe sounds oi lue English language. She made prominent in her instruction those elements which are eesential to good reading sb an every day exeroiee. The end of teaching reading was represented to be to enable the pupils to gather idaas from tbe printed page. Miss Oglevee made no attempt to entertain the teachers by reading to them selections, but gave the whole time to such instruction as could be carried by the teachers to their school rooms and used in the daily recitations. Profefsors Scarritt and Goodnough gave lessons in their respective specialties with their usual degree of earnestness and thoroughness. A more earnest and intelligent body of men and women are seldom gathered together in the oity than the teachers of the public schools. This Institute was a success, and will result in much good to the schools. Tho expenses which were incurred were paid by the teachers and drawn from the City Institute fund.
