Editors Prsss and Tribune:
Please allow nc through Tour paper to say d
few words about the schools in our county.
strangers '*Nhat is the condition Of The Pub
lie Schools in Chicago" can easily answer thi.
question, for there are numerous and unmistal-
able evidences within the knowledge Of crery
intelligent citizen that our city public schools
a.c in prosperous condition. This is cheer
ing fact, well known md universally conceded
by cur good citizens: but occasionally there
comes this question, sWhat is the condition of
the public schools in Cook County," As this
includes more than Chicago, it is more difficult
to answer, especially is it difficult, since there
appears to be very little interest manifested by
auy one in the public school. Of our county out
side Of Chicago. This territory is large, con-
timing large number Of school districts an
thousands Of intelligent, earnest hearted chill
dren Are there schools in these school dis
tricts: If 80, what portion Of the year are they
in session, mud how many children attend thcmf
Is there any one who can gire US any Light on
this subject
In most counties of this Us well as other
States there are county teachers meetings,
county institutes. &C., we seem to have none Of
these in Cook County. Is there anyone in Cook
County, whose business it is to intend to such
matters: for certainly they arc very important.
But see am asking many questions, and I
could ask many more, on this SANG subject, but

About two o'clock yesterday Nathaniel Childs
Jr. was arrested on l bench warrant, charged
with the forgery Of check for acme $40,
drawn IN the nasnc Of F. Crow i Sous, upon
1he banking house Of Vim. II. Barksdale i Co
As the casc has been brought before the Grand
jury, together with another Of similar charae-
ter, it is not necessary to goingiuto particulars
The alleged forgery Of the names Of P, Grow /
Sons, was committed some days since, and I'M
n,cdintely after payment it was discovered !;
but, the Teller being ncw resident IN this city,
it was doubtful whether be would be able to
identify the person who presented and reeeired
payment Of the check Childs, however. was
suspected. from the fact that be was seen in the
banking house only q short time before, and
asked io1 check On the house: 4 sharp look
out WAS kept for him, brt the Teller wss not
able to meet him until yesterday, when he ut

permitted, which would not hare been done,

"Rescuers'' at the cars At tue depot on their
return to 0berln last night, the 9Th. The entire

Father Keep said that they bad met for the
purpose Of herring from those who had Just
been released from Jail. and concluded his re-
marks by introducing Hon. Ralph Plumb, who
wus received with unbounded enthusiasm.
Mr. Plumb briefly stated the motives which
bad prompted them to remain IN Jail, and ex-

the Raindtdler Of list evening.
Prof. Peck next took the stand, and made n
rery impressive speech. He alluded feelingly

Last Saturday the steamer Ploughboy, which

ing driven ashore in storm. The disaster
would have been terrible one, as q large party
of Canadlans, consisting Of the most prominent
gentlemen in the province-head officers Of the
government. members Of Parliament and many
others-with their friends and families, were on
noon, bound upon pleasure trip to Sault Ste
Marie. They embarked on the Ploughboy at
Collingwood, and everything promised u de-
lightful voyage for tue distinguished company
Of excursionlsts. About o'clock Saturday af-

The conspiracy By which Calwallader Wal
cothe, escaped from the Ross County Jail, is
being divujged. 1t will be remembs red that
Wallace shot Godfrey in the street on account
Of his demurring at getting out Of wagon in
which they were riding, to give place to some
girls of the town. He escaped some months
ago mysteriously. Nelson aleCollistcr, an nc
e9nPlise = the eonsp'rasy, has recently dlsnlg-
listed the servant girl of the deputy. Sheriff,
Ross, and she took man named Long into the
plan, and one night while Ross was absent the
prison doors we're opened and Wallace escaped.
L few moments after the girl raised an outcry,
and tue citizens found her with her eyes ban
daged and hands bound, and generally acting
the part Of having been overcome by force.
Suspicion attached to the Deputy-Shcrid, aud
the party organs improved tho occasion to Ia
1nent that John K. Anderson, the: Democratic
candidate, had not been elected in place Of the
Republican, when MI such affairs would have
been avoided.
1t uppears, also, that the father of Wallace,
who is wealthy man, had Effected q bargain
with this same Anderson and George s. Baker,
City Marshal Of Chilicothe, to liberate the pris-
oncr; hut while they were ct his house con-
cluding tue plan, young Wallace appeared,
hnrins got the start Of them; therefore these
couspirasors got no money.
AS IN all well-rcgulated plays, there was IN
under.plot in this, in which moro women were
concerned, and this underplot was the means Of
diyulging the Affair. 4 yoapg citizen Of the
place was intimate with the sAicrs of McCollis-
ter. Anderson also iuvitetir these; the young
man was jealous; one night when Anderson
was coming, be secreted himtelf, and overheard
him tell one Of the girls his plan for the escape
Of Wallace. subsequently he threatened An
derson to disulge unless he paid him 81 900.
Anderson being short, gave him his note for
the amount, nnd took q Writtea pledge Of secre-
cy. The note matured, and was not taken up.
Finally it was settled By: Anderson paying $3.50,
and the papers were cancelled but u third party
had been called. and be is now a witness. The
case is before the Grand jury Of Ross county
