clares the Office vacated by non-resi-
dence.
The RAILROAD PoLICY.--It is now
settled beyond any reasonable doubt.
that the ''land ring" has lost all power
and influence in directing the route and
policy Of the Northern Pacific Pailroad,
and hence the ''truck and dicker' bu-
siness heretofore carried on in the name
of the company, in town sites and term
iral points, has been discontinued.
Therefore there will be no more feigned
objects or speculative surveys made
solely for the benefit of land spectators,
and we may fairly judge the intentions
of the Company by their acts. From
th.se it is evident that the policy now
is to. construct the road fro n Tenino
lorth, on the east side OF the Sound,
perhaps 10 the British line, before to oIch-
ing the navigable waters of the Sound,
and thus secure the land grant on both
sides the Sound without hazarding their
franchise by making connection until
The whole is taken in. v hen this is
done, then connections will be offered
to every contiguous port upon the Sound
from Olympia to Whatcom. upon hb-
eral conditions: as, for instance, the
building OF the road bed by the commu
mites interested, to be ironed, equipped
and run at the expense of the Company
or such contributions or donations as
would equalize the expenses to the mu-
tual advantages to be derived therefrom
This would give to all the towns equal
access to all the advantages of the rail
road, and leave to each all the natural
advantages Of location hich they uow
possess with which to compete for com
mercial supremacy.~ This was the pol
icy recommended by Gen Johnston. the
Chief Engineer of the Company; and
that this policy is adopted by the pres
ent Board, is evident from the fact that
the construction of all additional hun
dred miles of the road has been let
without touching any point upon the
Sound. So far as this city is C, ncerned
we could scarcely expect or desire any
| thing better. We will have the first
connection with The railroad by water
communication, and undoubtedly the
first by a branch road, of any port on the
Sound, and with our superior natural
advantages. it would be-sinsular if We
could not maintain our present position
rs the leading commercial city ON the
Sound.

SCHOOL MEETING.-On Saturday eve
ming an adjourned meeting will be held
at the school house, which no citizen
interested in popular education should
fail to attend. Two propositions are to
be submitted to the consideration of the
meeting: one by the Directors for build
ing a new school house for the primary
department, on the lot adjoining the
present school house; and the other the
report of the committee appointed to
examine and report upon tie location
and feasibility of two new school houses
one in the northern and the other III
the southern part of the city; the adop-
ton of either Of which involves the
voting of special tax TO carry out the
project.
The necessity for more school room
for the accommodation of the children
of the district is manifest and requires
no argument. The objections to the
project of the Directors are several, the
chief of which is the perpetual difficult
ties and conflicts which inevitably re
salt f.om forcing two distinct bodies of
children, of different ages and grades,
upon the same play grounds during the
school recess, by which both suffer-the
smaller children from the t, ranny OF
tile larger, and the larger by having
constantly before them objects upon
which to exercise and cultivate their
natural propensities for domineerlnt
Another objection is, that grouping all
the schools together would not so well
accommodate the population Of the
town as to distribute them among the
various quarters where they are needed.
This objection does not apply so much
to the Ligher grade of school, for the
larger scholars are much better able to
overcome the distance to their schools
than are the little ones.
But there is another consideration
which will have controlling influence
in determining the question of voting a
tax: not dollar VIII be voted by a ma
iorits of the electors. for any purpose,
to go into the hands of the present
Jerk for collection and disbursement
in view of the infamous extortion prac-
tised by Lin in the collection Of the last

picion that be is using the large surplus

DIsHEARrvNING.-Th public school
teachers of Placer county were collect
ed into spelling class, to which were
given twenty-five words to spell. Two
teachers spelled them all correctly.
Subjoined are the words, and appended
70 each are the number Of times each

effort to conceive the scope of the learn
ing which qualities teacher for these
public schools. A glance at the above
exercise" shows what not only might
be expected, but what would be inevita-
bic in setting copies for some the for
tunate pupils of these schools. A sample
follows: "Untill very bizzy seolar
