The Legislature. which was TO adjourn
On Saturday last, will not rise until The

To the surprise OF many. the Senate
has declared itself squsrely as opposed
to the present sy stem of County Super

One plan proposed was TO reduce the

but it met with an equal disapprovsl.
All hope has been given up, and the
universal opinion is that the Senate will

bill, and forcing our schools back to the

Many acknowledged their belief in the
system, but said "our Supervisor didn't
amount to nothing"
One amendment was adopted, which
provided that The law should not 60 into
effect until thirty days after the adjourn

pervisors an opportunity TO finally ar.
range their business. The system Of
County Institutes remains intact.
1t seems that Supt. Johnson has lost
ground within a lew days among his
supporters. 1t is attributed to his con.
duct in relation 10 his bills. it being al.
legged that he improperly obtained Them
from the Secretary of States Office. and
sought to suppress them. A movemen mt
was made to GUST him from Office by a
new bill, but his friends objected and the
matter went over. 1t looks as if he
would be legislated ont of Office before

The County Supervisors.

We sincerely regret the action of the
legislature in abolishing the Office OF
County Supervisor. Ii is said that the
system is not complained Of. but. in some
localities, unsuitable men had been APP.
pointed Supervisors, who had brought
the system into disrepute. This is TO be
regretted, but the overthrow OF good
system, for such a cause. is like "burn-
ing the barn to get rid of the rats" But
SO it is. Many good causes suffer Tor
lack of judieious, efficient public servants.
10 carry them on. Many an enterprise,
which would otherwise be successful. Is
abandoned because Of the unskillfnlness
or unfaihfulness of its workmen or OF
icials. 1t was SO with the State con-
stabulary, and every moral effort suffers
on this account, and even the cause oil
religion is not an exception Our re-
publican system OF government has more
to tear from Ihis-the corruption OF Off
cials-thsn any other cause.
We ought to say. in relation to County
Supervision in our County, that ii has &C
complished vast deal OF good. DIR.
True has labored indefatigably in this

new interest in the cause OF education

preamble recites that as all the political
parties are hopelsssly unwilling to adopt
an adequate equal policy on the question
OF prohibition. therefore this Convention
declares that traffic in intoxicating bev.
erages is a dishonor to Christian civilizs-
tion; iumical to the best interests OF
society; political wrong of unequalled
enormity; subversiye of the ordinary
objects OF government; not capable oil
being regulated or restrained by any
system Of license whatever. and i'm

and National Legislation.
The resolutions declare there can be
no greater peril to the nation than the
existing party competition for the liquor
vote; that ismovals from public Office tor

that fixed and moderate salaries should
take the place oil fees and perquisites
