Common schools.

Annual reports have been received from
twenty-nine school districts. This number is
eight districts u excess of those reported last
year. From these reports it appears that 10 said
twenty mine school districts, there are 1871
children, between four and twenty -one years Of
age. This number is 2l9 greater than the emu
meration of last year. The smallest number re-
ported in any one district is Is the largest, 300

two Of which are unfinished seven are built of
logs seven or eight, in size and structure. are
commendatory to those who erected them sew
eral are uncomfortably small, poorly furnished,
and afford only partial protection from heat,
cold, and storm. 10 twenty-five districts school
has been taught during the year ending Novem,
Der 6, 1868, varying in length from three to ten
months each, and averaging ILL.
The school fund apportioned December 4, 1868,
is 81 Os4 being 1854 09 greater than that of last
year. From the action of the last Legislature,
the expectation has been that the public school
fund would be largely increased. This expecta-
tion has been realized only in part, and the ex~
PLANTATION is in the fact, that very considerable
portion of license money was paid before the
action of the Legislature took effect.
Many of the reports are incomplete. conse.
quently this condensation of their contents is
unsatisfactory The proportion of scholars, who
have attended school in the twenty-five districts
III "n'cn senooI mas oeen taught, cannot be
aseertained with accuracy. Judge, as approx
imating to the truth, that near three .fourths of
those thus enumerated, have attended school
more or less.
The chief value of the annual reports of Dis,
trict Clerks, and quarterly reports of teachers
consists in their uniformity and completeness.
This is utterly unattainable by the method here
tofore practiced The suggestion is offered that
blank printed forms would be an improvement
would furnish essential aid to District Clerks

to the Walla Walla Valley7
l. What is the extent n length and width OF
the Valley2
2. What population?

sons of weak lungs2
6. Have you steamboat navigation to Walla
Walla2

9. What is the price of improved land in the
Valley, and of property in the town of Walla
Walla2
10. Have you plenty of timber near or in the
Valey2
You will no doubt think that have as much
inquisitiveness as Vermont nutmeg vender,

anxious to emigrate to your Valley next summer,
and know much less about it than should.

professions, we have an abundant supply, but
of working men there is a scarcity, and little
probability of the labor market being over
stocked for years to. come.

How Presidents are Elected.

The modus operandi Of electing Presi-
dent, after the Presidential electors have
been chosen, may not be familiar to all, so
we condense an account of the process. The
Constitution provides that the electors, chOs.
en- in such manner as the Legislature of each
State may prescribe, shall meet in their re-
spective States and vote by ballot for Presi-
dent and Vice President. At the meetings
known as electoral colleges the electors are
required to make lists of the persons they
vote for, and the number of votes cast for
each, which lists they are required to sign
and certify, and transmit sealed to the Presi-
dent of the Senate of the United States, at
the seat of Government. That officer is
required to open the certificates in the presa
ence Of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives, and the votes are then 10 be counted,
and the person having the greatest number
of electoral votes for President, if such a
number be majority Of the whole number
of electors appointed, is declared to be the
President aud so of the Vice President.
An act of Congress which fixed a uniform
time for the holding of the Presidential elec-
ton throughout the country, also provides
for further details. 1t requires the Execu>
tive authority of each State to cause three
certified lists of the electors chosen by said
State to be made out and delivered to the
electors on or before the first Wednesday of
December next after the. election, and that
said electors shall meet ahd give their votes
on the said first Wednesday in December, at
such place as the Legislature of the State
shall direct. The electors vote by ballot
aud require three certified lists, which shall
be signed by all the electors, with certified
list of the electors attached to each then to
be sealed up in three seperate packages, and
further certificate endorsed on the envelope
of each, signed by all the electors, stating
that the package contains list of the votes
of such State for President and Vice Presi-
dent. The electors are then required to ap,
point ana commission sperson to take charge
and deliver one of the said certified packag-
es to the President of the Senate at the seat
of Government, on or before the first Wed
nesday of January next ensuing; they are
further required to forthwith forward another
of said certificates by the Post Office to the
President of the Senate and the third is to be
delivered to the judge of the district in which
the electors are assembled These and other
minute provisions are made to guard against
the possible loss or failure of a certificate
In order to have certainty as to the counting
of votes so forwarded, Congress is required
to be in session on the second Wednesday
in February succeeding every meeting of the
electors, on which day the certificates are to
be opened in the presence of both houses
and tho result declared as already stated.

REDEMPTION OF GREEBACKs.-One of
the most important bills to be introduced at
the coming session of Congress is one by
Senator Morton, providing for the redemption
of greenbacks. He will urge that the sales
of gold be discontinued, and that the sur
plus of gold in the treasury and that which
is to accrue be appropriated for the redemp-
tion Of the legal tenders. His bill will fix
the time for beginning the redemption, by
way Of illustration, in January, 1871. He
believes that before the time arrives green
backs will be worth their face on a gold.
basis. He will oppose, in the meantime, any
further contractionof the currency, believing
that the contraction will take place by the
act of redemption, by cancelling such notes
when presented for redemption. Governor
Morton does not suppose that his proposition,
if carried out, will tend to diminish the VOL
ume of the currency, as gold and silver will
come in to supply the place of such legalten-
der notes as may be cancelled. The time
for beginning the redemption will not be
insisted on by Governor Morton, some Cons
gressmen being in favor of beginning iu one
year, others in three, and still others in five
years.
