SAN Francisco, Aug. 2S.-A man

he says the housekeeper's son got them to
do the murder at the suggestion of WASH
ington Nathan, and determined to uss
cbloroform, thinks the names oftis confed-
crate was MeNally. The following is the
substance Of his confessian: We entered
his house at the basement; the housekeep-
er's son went In and left the latch up so we
could get in without trouble; after we got
in the cellar, l heard the bell ring nine; it
seemed to me an hour or more we were in
the dark; it seemed long to me; perhaps it
was not so late; when the man came down
he said, "I've finished the old man."
we went up stairs; he had
struck the old man five or six times on the
head, when he saw he was going TO fall he
was afraid the fall would startle the folks;
he caught hold of him and laid him down.

cured, no amount of destitutiOn can be
made sufficient plea for receigiag GnGp-
pticdtiOR."
From these extracts Jon will readily dis
cover the general principle By wLch the
State Superintendent will be guided in
making bis recommendation for aid. Ard
l especially enjoin it upon you to let tho
same principle govern you invariably in
your Endorsement Of applications. Under
the fresh impulse which the educational
feeling has received in Tennessee, a very
general desire to obtain all the aid pos
sible has been developed; and while we
should do nothing to repress this longing Of
the people for better school facilities, the
iusutieieney Of the allotted fund to meet
all the bona 6de demands that will he made,
should 2dmonish both State and County
Superintendents that too mach care can
not be exercised in making reeommendz-
tions for aid. The value Of the Peabody
Fund as an auxiliary to our public school
system, If discreetly administered. can
hardly be estimated. II squandered, with
out Judgment and strict regard to its true
purpose, its influence will be as short-llved
as the temporary schools upon which it NAV
be wasted. Therefore, discarding all other
considerations, let your recommendations,
an all cases, be controlled BY conscientious
purpose to encourage and give stability and
2ccepsability to our pubic school system.
To this end you will not te expected to "a.
commend any school that is not to be abso-
utely under the management of public
school authorities.
When two or more applications are made
from your county, | request that you indi.
cate to me the order in which they should
be preferred, giving briefly the ressocs
unon which such preference should be
founded.
The conditions upon which aid win be
granted, are thus given:
b fore any application can be considered,
strict compliance with the following con-
ditions must be satisfactorily guaranteed:
1. The school for which aid Is asked,
must be public free school, under the con-
troll of the lawfully constituted local school
authorities. ~ --r
2. 1t must have bona fde enrolment OF 4
not less than one hundred pupils, aVerag-
ing eighty-dve per day.
8. Ibmust have an assured fund for cur
rent expenses, Amounting 10 az least tvics
much as the aid received from the fund.
A. 1t must be graded school.
B. A teacher must be furnished for every
fifty pupils at most.
6. Two copies Of the blanks must be
filed up and subscribed By the proper par
ties, and returned to the State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction at Nashville.
For further information to applicants,

OF the Peabody Board of Trustees 10 pre-

LITTLE Rock, Aug. 2S-Hon. K. Mesrs,
Judge of the 18th judicial Circuit, who re-
sides in Clarksvlle in johnson county, while
going to bis home about three quarters Of a
mile from town to dinner yesterday, was
shot and mortally wounded by an unknown
person from the bushes. J.dge Mears lived
until this morning, at which time he died.
The deed is thought to have been perpetrat-
ed BY man with whose wife it is reported
the Judge had been too intimate. Every
body is indignant at the dsstardly act, re-
eardless of politics, and every effort will be
made to bring the guilty party 10 justice.
The affair creates profound sens tion at
the capital. Judge Mears was recently
appointed to the bench by Gov. Baxter.

The Treasury Department In DOuDt.
Snecial to the Cincinnati Gazette.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26-Another ques-
ton has been raised concerning back pay.
Treasurer Spinner holds that Senators and
Representatives, sendiEg their checks to
him for tie amount due them, under
the increase of salaries, do not there
by part with the legal title or
money, and that if they should demand
the return of the funds at any time, or in
stitute proceeding for its reclamation, they
would be very likely tosucceed. The Treas
has never been legally authorized to receive
the money CT the penitents, and besides,
they part with it for no consideration,
either expressed or understood. How
ever, Gen. Spinner says that the
question belongs to the lawyers, Of whom
he is rot o. e. On the other hand the ac-
counting officers of the department say that
money once covered into the Treasury can
not be Withdrawn, excepi BY express act of
Congress, and that If any Of the gentlemen
who have deposited their drafts with Treas
urer Spinner expect TO recover money on
them in future, they viii be disappointed.

In doubtful cases of attendance, the ave-
rage number decides the question. The
amount appropriated for laI ger numbers in
cities cannot be fixed, but must depend on
circumstances. The people are to pay for
current expenses a. least twice, aud usually
three times as much as they receive from
the fund, AMI to bear all the expenses OF
erecting and repairing and furnishing
schoolhouses- They ara to grade their
schools and provide teacher for every
6fty pupils. It IS necessary that apIiestions
for assistance be made through the Super
intendent Of each State, near the beginning
of the school year. No claim for share
of the fund can be admitted where q special
contract has been previously made.
The regulstions for eolored schools ara
the same as for whits schools. The num-
Der of pupils required applies to each class
of schools separately. This is necessary,
in order that the schools may be properly
graded.
NorE.-When the application comes
from ci or town Board of Education or
School Committee, the phraseology Of the
app ieation and certificate may BE- varied &C
cordingly.
