Change of the School Law.

II will be seen by a resolution in the
Educational Column that the Convention
of Superintendent request the present
Legislature to 50 amend the School Law
rs to make it the luty of the Town Clerk
TO assist the Comfy Superintendent In
theSnpervision of the schools in the town
of which said clerk is an inhabitant; to
to assist the County Superintendent III
the examination of teachers for the IN
Spection district in which his town Is
situated and to make such reports e.
the County Superintendent in regard T.
the condition of the schools Of his town
as the said superintendent may fromtime
to time require" 1t is doubtful II tho
preposed change WAS made, if it would
be as good as the Town Superintendent
system. To the provision OF the last
clause Of the resolution we have deci-
deff objection, unless the Superintendent
is required to furnish the Town Clerks
with such reports ready made as be SHALL
from time TO time require them to make
IF rhe Town Clerks are to be astomatons
in this respect, let their lab0rs be made
as little as possible we trust however
that the Legislature will deliberate a
little. before passing such provision.
Ard we think it would have been we'll il
the Convention had deliberated a little
more before passing the last clause Of the
resolution.

Dairymen's Convention.

We published last week the first day >
proceedings of the Dairymen's conv sntion,
and we publish this week the remainder
Of the proceedings, except the annu i ad-
dress, by Hon Rodney Welch. Before
the convention met, Mr.. Welch called
and offered to furnish us printed copy
of the address for publication, and we
gladly accepted the offer, and also his
offer to exchange papers. We have not
vet received either the address or the
Prairie F!t77ner Md, ~ we depended
upon getting = printed c'py Of the adj
dress from Mr.. Welch, We did not avail
ourselves Of othf means t. get it entire,
and as we 81 @ press we have only a
part Of it at our command. We hope
to have the address complete for next
week, but if we do not, we shall give to
our readers what we now have in our
possession.
We refrain from making any comments
upon the doings of the convention till
we have got through publishing its pro-
ceedings.

DisxSspectful.

An editorial in the last Waukegan
Gazette with the Caption, 1.-THE Hen Con
yention," giving sn account of the Annual
Meeting of the Women Suffrage Conven-
ton, held at Springfield the week pre-
vious, is, in our opinion, disrespectful, not
only in the caption, but in tone and sub
stance. If the Gazette has no respect for
the worthy and renowned women in the
convention, nor for the cause in which
they were engaged, it should, at least,
have self respect enough not to admit an
article, much less an editorial, so disres-
pectful.

How " Marbles" are Made.
From the Manufacturer and Builder.

IOiil VIC duu DulQcIs
The chief place of the manufacture of
" marbles" those little round pieces of
stone which contribute so largely to the
enjoyment of " Young America" is at
Oberstoin, on the Maize, in Germany,
where there are large agate-mills and
quarries, the refusr Of which is carefully
turned TITO good paying account by be-
by experts to knGcklc with, which are
Inustly sent TO the American market.
The substance used IN Saxony is a hard,
calcarerous stone, which is first broken
into blocks, nearly square. by blows
with hammer. These are thrown by
the one hundred or two hundred into u
small sort of mill, which is formed of a
fat, stationery slab of stone, with num-
Der of concentrie burrows, upon it's face.
A block OF oak, or other hard wood, of
the same diametric size, is placed over
the small stones and partly resting upon
them. This block or log is kept revolv
ing while water flows upon the stone slab
In about fifteen minutes the stones are
turned to spheres, and then, being fit fol
sale, are henceforth called "marbles.
One, establishment, containing only
three of these rude mills, will turn ou
full sixty thousand marbles" in eacI
week. Agates are made into marbles,
at Oberstein, by first chipping the piece
nearly round with hammer, handled b,
skilliull workman, and then wearin!
down the edges upon the surface of
large grindstone.

County Government.

There has been some effort made For
return to the Town System M County
,syernment. A number OF petitions have
eeii presented in the Legislature asking
uah return. We see by the report of
legislative proceedings in the State jour
al that Senator Hazleton, on the Tth
nst., presented petition of Ira P. Hell
am and 300 others, of the County of
Senosha, for return to the town system
fcounty government. We had thought
hat the people of this county were gen
rally satisfied with the present system,
nj we still think there is no general de-
ere for a change. A few, who think mnre
'o1 chances to obtain offices by their mall
tiplication, than they doc economy IL
expenditures, may be in favor IF a return
"a the town system. # the present sys-
n is defective let it be improved, but
) hope the Legislature, in this as in all
her matters. will keep constantly in
ew, economy, and retrenchment Of GOV
,nmental expenditures
[Since writing the above we see that
bill has been passed in the Assembly
Il to 26. Ourrepresentative, Mr.. Bailey,
ported as voting for the bill. Mr..
al V. without doubt, voted in accord
ace 18th his own views of right, but we
:Eubt his vote in favor of the bill being

Grant, Halleck, and Thomas.
General Hallesk's Statement--The Order reliev.
ing General Thomas.

/ Major General eialleck has recently
made several statements to reporter of
the Louisville Courier Journal, concerning
prior to the battle of Nashville, which
conflicts with the statements OF several
correspondents of leading Weston papers
General Halleck's military headquarters
are now in Louisville. He said that the
dinner in San Francisco in which he is
said to have told General Thomas that he
withheld an order from Grant suppressed
ing him at Nashville, was never given and
that the speech attributed TO him was
never made. He has not dined with
General Thomas since they left the
West Point Academy. He said, however
that an order removing General Thomas,
in favor Of Of General Schofield, wa
written and signed by e. D. Townsend,
Assistant Adjutant General, by order of
the Secretary Of of War. He General
Halleck) entered strong protest, but nei-
ther Pres Lincoln or FIR. Stanton would
the order He volunteered to assume the
responsibility of OBTAINING the order, and
Mr.. Stanton said, laughing, well you
will be the only one to suffer. This
responsibility lasted three hours as we
find it stated hat "Grant assented to the
suspension of the order three hours after
its issuance" He was induced to consent
however, by the protestations of General
Halleck, who telegraphed to Grant at
O'Clock in the afternoon, December 8, as
follows:
" Orders relieving General Thomas had
beenmadc out before his telegram of this
afternoon q o'clock was received If
you sti wish these orders telegraphed to
Nashville they will be forwarded" Hal
leck also telegraphed to Thomas, urging
him tc hasten his attack The following
summary of the case, as he understands
it from General Halleck's statement, is
given by the Louisville reporter: Gen.
Grant did peremptorily demand the re-
moval of General Thomas on the eve of
great battle, and the appointment of
Gen Schofield in his place. g The Pres
ident and Secretary of War did actually
issue the order as requested by General
Grant. 3. The order SO issued, was de-
| iivcrrd + Gcner:. ;Ialiuck t. be tcle-
graphcd to Generals Thomas and Scho-
| field T. That G > Haileck, after beng
refused authority by the President and
Secretary OF War to suspend the order,
did so on his own responsibility. tele
graphing the fact to Gen. Grant. 5. Gen.
Grant did assent to such suspension of
the order removing Gen. Thomas. 6. The
official order of removal was never coun-
fernandez or revoked, but was kept by
9en. Halleck in his pocket till the battle
Of Nashville was fought, when he return
ed it to Mr.. Stanton, who put it in the
fire. I. Although the official order actu-
rlly issued was thus destroyed, the orig
inal draft, and the telegram on which it
was based, are preserved. g. The re-
moval of Gen. Thomas on the perenptory
demand of Gen Grant was prevented by
the action Of Gen. HaIleck.
