THE FRENCH SPoLIATIoN CLA1Ms.--We learn
through special dispatch from Washington, that
the bill which Mr.. Corwn is directed to report for
the payment of claims growing out of the French
spolations, appropriates five millions of dollars to
be paid pro rata on the awards of the commission
ers appointed to examine them. Notwithstanding
the many previous failures to pass bill for the
payment of these long neglected claims, it is now
confidently believed that the efforts to pass bill
at the present session will be successful and that
will receive the approval of the President.
FROM BARBADoEs.--We have news from Barba-
does, dated at Bridgetown on the 18th ut. Our
commercial report says: Flour is not in large

mackerel wanted. Notwithstanding the large
quantity of lumber destroyed by the fire, still a
fair supply is left, and three cargoes are afoat all
ofwhich will be wanted imme diately The weather

IMPORTANT TO AMERICAN MERCHANTs.-The Con-

important proposal to our merchants and manufac

pal cities of Venezuela, all circulars cards, adver-
tisements, &C., which may be sent him at 2612
Broadway, or box 2,54O Post Office, New York.
This direct way of opening commercial relations
with that country, so rich in natural resources,
will not be neglected by our enterprising business
men. The cities of Laguayra, Caracas, and Porto
Cabello, places of considerable trade in time of
peace, and the present disturbances likely soon
to Our Baltimore houses will no doubt
take the hint

Election Of County superintendts.

The third election of County Superiu-
tendents will take place, at the respcc-
tive county seats, on Ist Monday in May.
There is no duty of more overshadowine
than the one devolved upot
School Directors on that occuSion, and
the manner in which they may perform it,
will vitality affect the school system. The
law has wisely conferred this responsible
duty UPON the immediate Representatives
OF the people in the respective di-tricts,
relying upon their intimste knowledge OF
the WhokiDgs ard wants of the school
system, their sound jud cement, disinteres-
ted motives, and knowledge of the persons
who might present themselves :or this i'm
porta"t Office Thus far, this response
biity has generally been met in the rig ht
spirit, and in most cases. though not al
8ays, With salts factory results.
But there are. doubtless, errors yet to
be corrected and possible dangers avoid
ed The opportunity is now p.esented to
accomplish both. The Office is now per-
manently established, as an indespeDsa
bic agency in tho administration Of the
system, aud the best effort should be di.
reeted to the great work of akiug it uni
fornIy Efficient and acceptable, by the e.
lection of the right meo and the best me q
to ell it. II this is not done the response
bility rests with the directors, who have
been clothed with the power, under the
law, to strengthen or weaken the system
by their voice in convention.
The success aud usefulness Of the Coun-
ty Superiutendency depends, more than
any other Office in the Commonwealth,
upon the men acto it'll it The greatest
care should therefore be taken in the Sc
lection. Every competent and faithful
officer, who is willing to serve, should be
retsined; for experience is OF great value
in such an Office as this, aud cannot be
transferred to a successor. Besides, f.
deity to duty in such an arduous post,
should te rewarded By continusnce o.
public confidence aud approval. Those
who have proved themselves incomplete ut
or unfaitbful have no reason to expect
any further sacrifice Of public interests
for their individua! benefit. Care should
be taken, however, to discriminate be-
tween popular dissatisfaction arising from
faithful application of the powers OF the
Office, and that arising from incspacity or
Incidence. No man should be elected
whose pat official course, or personal
pledges, will rot be sufficient guaranty
for the faithful devotion of bis time and
energies to the full and faithful perfor-
nance of all duties of the Office, accord
ing to the letter and spirit of the law
Another specisl danger should be guarded
against with scrupulous care. 1t is this;
no man should be elected who wants

Rhode Island Election.

Providence, r. l.. April 40 P. IN.
The State has gone for Wu. Sprague
Conservative Union, for Governor, By a
large majority.
Providence, April 4-midnight.
Thirteen towns give Sprague, 3,00S;
Padeford, 1892.
This city gives large majority for
Sprague, and be is probably elected By
not less than 500 majority.
The Legislature is also against the Re.
putlicans.
A Rhode Island correspondent of the
Philadelphia Bulletin makes the follow,
ing statement relative to the contest in
that State:
"The facts of the case are as fo!lows:--
Mr.. Sprague, the newly elected governor.
never has been identified with the Demo
Gratis, and was successful simply because
of this fact. He was nominated by large
nun Der of Republicans, because of perso-
nal amin osi,y to Seth Padd.eford, aud
tbrougont the whole contest was support
ed as conservative Republican candi-
date Indeed, notwithstanding Mr..
Sprague's great wealth, and the business
aad personal Influence of his family
throughout the entire State, had be been
supported by the Democratic party alone,
be would not have come within three or
four thousand votes of an election. Rhode
Island, today, on square party issue, Is
good for an overwhelming majority for
the Republicans, aud will cast her eecto
raj vote. without doutt, for the nominee
Of the Chicago Convention, whoever be
may be"
