ENGLISH COLONIES IN THE NORTHWEST
Rev George Rodgers of Dorsetshire, in the south
of England, accompanied by number of intel
lgent tenant farmers, has recently completed a
tour of inspection through the northwest, made
for the purpose of selecting II location for col
ony of some two thousand English people. After
an extended trip the delegation selected eight
townships (about 1S0, 900 acreS) in Clay county,
Minnesota, on the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad, half the area being government lands,
and hence subject 10 free homestead entry by the
coloniSs, and the other half belonging to the
railroad company. A railroad town, to be
named Yeovil, at the request of the
colonists, has been set apart to the colony near
the centre of the tract. Some 400 families, en-
bracing 1000 people, intend to leave England
for the colony lands in April next, and the re-
mander will follow during the season. The
colonists are wellto-do tenant farmers and farm
erS' sons, who will bring with them to the
United States from $1,000 to 100000 capital
each, and degree of agricultural skill and
thoroughness which, when expended upon the
fert lie lands they have chosen, can hardly fail
TO result in thrift and success. The full title 10
the lands bought from the Northern Pacific
railroad company will cost these English farmers
less than half as much per acre as they have
hitherto paid for the annual rent Of DorSetshire
lands.
Mr. Rodgers and his practical associates unite
in saying that the facts regarding the quality of
the company's lands, and the general advan-
tages of the northwestern country, have been
considerably understated by the company's pub
locations and representatives in Great Britain.
They also concur in the belief that Minnesota,
and the country further west In the same lati-
tude are perfectly adapted to English settle
ment, and that the present colony movement IS
only the forerUnuer of scores of thousands of
Englishmen who will speedily follow and make
their homes in the great grain belt and stock
range of the northwest. Mr.. Rodgers consulted
many of his own countrymen settled in Mime
sofa, and, without an exception, they claimed 10

as a home for English people who wish to emil

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF CONSTABLE OIL
THE CoNNoNwEALTH, "a Pemberton square,
BosToE, Mass, Aug, IS, 1877.
Gen. James L. Bates, Chairman Police Com
nissioners. General:
have the honor herewith to tender my re-
signation as chief constable of the common
wealth, to take effect on the LIST of September,
or as soon after as my successor shall be ap-
pointed.
The peculiar duties of my office, together
with its special vexatons, annoyances and ex-
elements, continue to depress me, and delay
full recovery from the effects ofmy recent severe
Illness, and physicians and friends ndmoniSh me
the time has come when il is my duty to seek
employment less exciting and annoying, hence
for reasons assignedn reluctantly retire from the
office.
During the seven years have had the honor
to hold the office of chief constable of the COM
monwealth, it has been my desire and aim to
render the state effective and faithful service
and to make the best practicable use of the
means furnished me for the execution of the
laws. Certain protested friends of the temper
ance cause, in convention and on other occa-
sionS, have claimed the right TO crItlclse and
Islander the department; and in this way have
given substantial aid and comfort to the enemy,
and at the same time have seriously neutraliZed
our best efforts to punish and reduce the illegal
liquor traffic. In my Judgment, no other
cause has so materially discouraged and Grip
pied the service and desired results of our de-
partment as these attacks upon us. l have en-
deavored to bear these dscouragements and
ISLANDERS with all cheerfulness aud patience, be-
cause we were aware the mass of the people
know how to appreciate the difficulties we have
encountered in court and elsewhere.
| fully appreciate the kindness of yourself,
General Kimball and the Hon. Martin Griffin,
your associates, in urging me to remain in the
service, US expressed in several conversations
upon this subject, and sincerely acknowledge
my obligations TO each Of you for the uniform
kindness ever manifested toward me in all our
personal aud official relations.
With my best wishes for your personal and
official success, | have the honor to be
Very respectfully your ob't servant
EDWARD J. JONES.
Although the letter was placed in the hands
of the commissioners on the date Of Its writing
their action is not known. The resignation is
peremptory, however, and Major Jones desires
relief from the duties OF the office as soon as
possible. He has been for about twenty-five
years in contact with crime and criminals in
official position either in the courts, as captain
Of the old Boston watch, or in his present posi-
ton, and few men leave cleaner record or have
gained more friends than he. Barely is man
placed in such position who makes fewer en-
emies if he does his duty. Who is to be Major
Jones's successor is not known, but 1t Is rumor-
ed that 1t will be either General Bates or Gen.
eral kimball OF the police commissioners.
Major Jones has not decided upon his future
calling.-BostonJ Journal, dug. 81.

EDWIN FORREST.

Edwin Forrest, the greatest tragedian OF
the age, who fell dead yesterday morning
in Philadelphia, while dressing himself,
was born in that city in 1906. He has
been on the stage fifty-four years, having
commenced performing when he was only
twelve years old. In his fifteenth year he
made his debut at the old South street
theatre in Philadelphia. He has remained
on the stage ever since, gaining a distinc-
ton that is seldom accorded to men of his
or any other profession. Since 1858 he has
not been so actively orconstantly engaged,
his entertainments partaking of the char
acter of readings" rather than theatrical
performances. His fame is not confined to
this country by any means. Three times
he has visited England and his
performances were received there with the
same favor as in his native land. In the
PRESERVATION of characters demanding ro-
bust action and physical power, he, in his
palmy days, was without an equal.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Nashville
Banner, writing on the subject of schools,
very truly says; "One of the largest con-
ventions of the mostexperienced educators
ever assembled in the United States, re
solved that the township or civil district is
the true unit of school organization and
should constitute single district, with a
board ofscheol officers elected by the vo-
tiers of the entire district, and empowered
to levy taxes for school purposes, erect
school houses, employ teachers and other
wise take the entire local control and man.
agement of the schools.'n
The plan above named is certainly good
one. With the district for the unit of or
ganization and then with competent au-
thority to superintend for the county, a
good school system can be speedily inaugu-
rated. There must be central head-some
authority to advise and administer and
without 1t no thorough system can be es-
tabLShed. After the schools are once or
ganized the county superintendent may be
dispensed with, but we should think that
without it the system could not properly
be put in operation.

OUR AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.

We are glad to note that Senator Nor
fill, of Vermont, was so prompt to call up
in the Senate his bill to donate additional
public lands to the Agricultural Colleges
of the various States. The probabilities
are that bill granting enough land to
make the donation to each College one
million acres, will pass. In no better way
could the Government encourage the work
of education. 1t is work of such impor-
lance as to be engaging to-day the time
and unceasing labors of the best minds
and purest men of the nation. Especially
to the Southern States is this bill of deep
importance. If it becomes a law as pro-
posed, it will establish in each one of
the Southern States an educational
institution with wealth enough to
make it center of an edu-
cational influence that will in a
few years do more to build up the wealth
and morals of the section than any other
movement the Government could inaugu-
rate. The South needs this help, especially,
and we know Southern Representatives in
both branches of Congress will earnestly
favor it. One provision should be incor-
porated in the grant and that is, that so
far as possible the fund arising from the
sale of the lands should be so invested and
deposited as to amply insure its being used
for the purpose designated, and that its

application should be free from political
and sectarian influences.
PETITION FOR BETTER ROADS.

Several readers of the CHRONICLE who
are anxious to have the public sentiment
developed by that and other influences
given some expression so that Legislators
may better know what the public desire.
We find very general feeling that some
legislation is necessary to secure better
highways than we now have. With our
present roads in many counties it is worth
about as much to transport crops to market
after they are grown as to produce them.
In order to afford the friends of an inn
proved road system the opportunity to
circulate petitions in their respective coun-
ties, we give below the outlines of petit
ton which can be changed so as to suit the
views of the signers. We hope the friends
of the movement in every county will cir
culate the document and send forward a
list of solid signers to Nashville:
To the General Assembly of the State of
Tennessee: lIE
The undersigned petitioners, residents of
the county of --, respectfully ask of
your Honorable Body, such changes in ex-
listing laws as will insure the building
and maintaining of system of better pub
lie roads in our State. Your petitioners be"
lieve that all classes of citizens are direct
ly interested in good highways. The pro-
Queer and consumer are alike interested in
reducing the expense attending the trans
portation of all commodities that are the
product of labor. AS the laws now stand,
the burden of maintaining the public
roads falls almost entirely upon the very
class who are least interested in them.
Your petitioners believe this should be
changed and the burden be made to fall
upon men who are best able to meet
it, and who at the same time are most
interested in doing so. Your petitioners
pray that the exemptions from road tax or
work on the road, be as few as is consistent
with public policy, and that for some
years to come the law provide for sufficient
labor or tax. to inaugurate substantial
highways to be constructed as speedily as
practicable. 10. n. b Ers

IT is now pretty well settled that the
Tribune Association has rendered Vice
President Colfax the editorial chair made
vacant by Mr.. Greeley's death. It seems
from the statements of those in position
to know, that a tempting offer has been
made in the shape of salary, and that
Mr.. Colfax is seriously considering the
proposition. It would be great help to
the Tribune, should he accept, and the
stockholders could well afford to pay him
any price he would ask.

knock down imposing stones and throw
things into "pi' generally. The provoca-
ton, was slanderous publication on the
day previous relative to the wife of one of
the parties. We do not favor resort to such
measures as this, but if there is ever a time
when one is justifable in taking the law
into his own hands, it is when brutal

acter. Nothing else will exercise so salu-

The World gravely predicts failure in
the administration of Gen. Dix as Gov

Mayor of the city of New York, not in a
consequence of lack of straightforward
