MAISr.-Philander Coburn, Wing, has been
elected Senator in the Somerset district by about
20 majority. jeremiah Fowler, Wing has also
been elected in the eighth Washington district,
by two majority. Both Of these are gains upon
last year. On the other hand, IL is probable that
in Lincoln county, in which last year Wings were
elected, the scattering votes have defeated any
choice.

Local Matters.

The PUBLIC ScHoeLs.-The monthly reports
dered by the teachers to the trustees at the meeting
Of the latter on Wednesday evening very clear
and satisfactory; but while find occasion TO re-
joice in the fact that the great popularity of the
system has caused all the schools TO be filled on re-
Stunning the exercises the fret of September, we
have to regret the present inability of the trustees
10 increase their number capacity to such extent
as to accommodate the many children who
now applying for admission Every school is thus
beset, and many OF them have half as many canGi-
dates for admission as they number pupils.
Upon motion, the subcommittee of the fret
ward empowered TO select a suitable lot Of
ground for the erection of another school, and we
hope that this object will be contaminated at an
carly day.
There a discussion upon question of inn
porancc relative the just division Of labor in the
schools. Iappears that at present, district teach
ers, who receive eight hundred dollars per year,
and are competent TO instruct the more advanced
pupils, have in their schools many children whose
attachments would properly only cntitle them to
place in the primary schools, under teachers en-
ployed at third Of this salary, while the latter
class Of schools contain many who worthy Of
advancement.
To this il was replied that the desired class6ca-
ton had already been ordered by the board, but
that the order was in many instances not enforced,
because Of the distance at which the schools stand
apart, and the impossibily, in some localitcs for
children 60 the schools Of the grade for which
they are qualified.
This, it will be perceived, is another inconveni-
attributable TO the slender means az yet the
command Of the trustees. But the day will come
when they will not have such impedments 10 con-
tend with, and when esery child in our city will en-
Joy the benefits Of school instruction

Massachusetts Wts1g STATE Convention
The annual State convention Of delegates for the
nomination of Wing candidates FOR the executive
election in November was held at Worcester, and
there was very full attendance Of delegates from
every part Of the Commonwealth. II appeared to
one Of the fullest conventions Of the kind within
our recollection, embracing gentlemen fairly re-
presenting the interests and the intelligence Of the
Community.
Two trains OF cars went from this city, one OF
which arrived at few minutes before 10 O'Clock,
and the other at about H. The western train ar
rived before IL. From the late hour at which we
receive report, We able to present il only
in an abbreviated form.
The convention called to order at / O'Clock.
temporary organization was effected by the choice
of Hon. George Mercy of Boston, chairman OF the
Wing State Central Committee, as chairman pro
tenn, and Henry G. Gardner, of Boston, as sccre-
'a5 fynmr;,t... ,vo,. .,no;,,.d % .. ~ =,
inc the credentials Of members, and report ofb-
GERS for the full organization of the meeting. The
former shortly after reported that credentials had
been returned Of s2l delegates duly elected, from
2S6 towns.
The committee on the organization of the con-
vcntion reported nomination of Hon. Simon
Greenleaf for President of the convention eight
Vice Presidents, consisting OF one from each Con-
gressional district-and four Secretaries The re-
port was unanimously accepted, and the President
was conducted to the chair.
The deliberations OF the convention were opened
by prayer from the Rev. Mr. Benton.
MT. ITsSuleai, on assuming the Chalr, maze an
excellent speech, thanking the convention for the
honor which they had conferred on him. He said
that he entirely unaccustomed TO preside
public assemblies, he ought perhaps to have
declined accepting the chair in this instance; but
on considering that il not stormy assem-
blage, where controverted subjects were likely &c
be disc used, but band Of brothers, over whose
deliberations he now called upon to preside, he
could not hesitate to accept the office, and would
throw himself on the indulgence of the conven-
ton.
He said that there was no question but that in
dustry ought to be protected IN this country; nor
was it questionable whether this country should be
a land Of freemen or of slaves He was sure that
every good citizen desired TO remove the deep and
abiding curse of slavery; but good men might diff.
fer and did differ TO the beat and most cilectua
means of accomplishing this.
He proceeded to eulogize Massachusetts, q
State which has attained her present position oi
prosperity and general security under Wing add
ministrations chiefly; and he expressed hope and
conviction that the people would ''let well enough
alone" while their condition was satisfactory.
On motion of Mr. Davis, of Plymouth, com
mittec of five appointed to receive, sort, anc
count the votes for candidate for governor, mo
ton to nominate Gov. Briggs by reclamation being
rejected.
This committee subsequently reported the result
of the ballot which was as follows:
