WHITEsBURG. Dec. 4th, 1876.
Some time since / made an esti-
mate showing the probable amount
of money each district would receive.
NY estimate was two dollars and
twelve cents per scholar.-two dol
lars certa ainly. Since the assessment
has been made and the tax books
made out, find that the amount
somewhat exceeds my estimate. The
amount per scholar viii be about two
dollars and sixteen cents. This will
enable tie schools of the county TO
continue, on an average, near five
months. Some will be longer, some
not so long. This is encouraging,
and should stimulate the friends of
public schools 10 renewed exertions.
l wish to call the attention of Dis
trict Clerks to one clause Of the law.
which, in great many cases. has
not been complied with, and the
neglect has caused great trouble and
Inconvenience in getting up reports.
The law declares 1t to be the duty
of the Clerk Ito keep, in a bound
<
volume. q cash account and a record
of his own official acts; and to keep
Ola file. vouchers. contracts, and other
official papers all of which shall be
open to the inspection of the county
Superintendent of schools, and OF
every citizen of the district, and
shall be subject to such periodical
examinations. as shall be prescribed
by the County Superintendent"
Some Clerks have kept no record
whatever, depending entirely upon
their memory. Some we're unable
to say how much money had passed
through their hands "until they
could see their teacher. THIS loose,
careless manner of doing business
must cease. We must have system
if we desire and expect to succeed.
Let every Clerk, who has not already
done so, provide himself with a
bound volume, in which he shall keep
an exact account of all moneys that
came into his hands, showing from
source they we're derived, and to
whom, and for what purpose paid
out. If this is done. it viii save
great trouble, and besides. be much
more satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned. Hereafter I shall examine
the books to see if the law has been
complied with.

As this will be the last message ]
shall have the honor of submitting
to Congress before my successor is
chosen, will repeater recapitulate
the questions which I deem OF vital
Importance. which may he legislated
upon and settled at this session !:
First, that the States shall be re-
quired to afford the opportunity of a
good common school education to
every child within their limits. Sec
ond, no sectarian teHets shall ever
be taught in any school supported in
whole or in part by the State, nation,
or proceeds of any tax levied upon
any community; make education
compulsory. so far as to deprive all
persons who cannot read and write
from becoming voters after the year
1890: disfranchising none. however,
on the grounds of illiteracy who may
be voters Mt the time this amendment
takes effect. Third, declare the
Church and State forever separate
and distinct, but each free within
their proper spheres. and that all
church property shall bear it's own
proportion of taxation. Fourth,
drive out licensed immortality, such
as polygamy and the Importation of
women for illegitimate purposes. l
recur again to the Centennial year.
1t would seem as though now as we
are about to begin the second CEN
tury of our national existense, it
would be most fitting time for these
reforms. Fifth, enact such laws as
will secure speedy return to sound
such as will command the
respect of the world.
Believing that these views will
commend themselves to the great
majority of the right thinking and
patriotic citizens Of the UnitedStates,
| submit the rest to Congress.

NEW I DIRK. Dec. 6.-An afternoon
paper has the following regarding
Tweed flight: The most probable
theory is, that Tweed escaped in the
bark Lord Clarendon which cleared
Nov. 4th for Queenstown. The story
is that relative of Tweed not resid-
ing here and known to but few in
this city reached here some three
weeks since and purchased the bark
Lord Clarendon, a fine vessel of ex-
eellent sailing qualities. The theory
is that the Lord Clarendon was char
tered for Tweed by his relative who
sailed on her. 1t is said that Ves-
sci looking like her has been seen
off the cast end ofLong Island. 1t is
supposed Tweed was conveyed on
board asteam tug laying in East
River, on Saturday evening. and was
taken on board the Lord Clarendon.
The name of the firm which cleared
the vessel is not in the directory
IT, EN- ROUTE FOR EUROPE.
Inspector DilIks believes Tweed is
on the ocean. There is good reason
to believe that he made his escape
many hours before it was reported.
1t is generally believed Warden
Denham and Keeper Hagan were
priyy to the escape and Tweed en-
barlSed on some private craft on
East River, in, which he is now sail
ing for a foreign. port. The cases
which were up to-day were post
poned. -. ,.-s-. -.

Twenty minutes after his escape was
known,f the news reached every po-
lice station in the city. but there is

1t has been ascertained that
Tweed's private, secretary Was last
seen at his stopping plaeea few min
utes before the departure Of tne 10
o'clock train for Boston, or Satur-
day morning He took that train,
saying lie was going to Boston and
would return on Tuesday. He, how
ever, carried along q trunk. 1t was
rumored at the seth street police
station, last evening, that on Satur-
day from to 5 :15 p. M, tug was
noticed cruisingin amysterious man
ner in tie East River, off 59th street,
but nothing was noticed by which
the tug could be identified.
r4DDfTTONAL PARTICULARS.
The warden, Gardner, in charge of
Ludlow, street Jail, during Warden
Dunham' 5 absence, stated that neith-
er he nor any person in the Jail learn
ed or Tweed's absence from it until
about 8 80. A man rang the bell
and the door was opened by a depu-
ty warden. The man, whose name
was not known nor his face familiar,
said Warden Dnnham had sent him
down to the Jail to say that Tweed
had escaped. Further than this the
messenger couldn't say, and he then
took his departure. 1t is supposed
Tweed left Jail apOut 4:3O p m.,
with Warden Durham, and it is also
thought that Edward Hagau also ac-
companied them, as he has not since
been seen around the Jail. This af-
ternoon Deputy Warden Gardner
took an affidavit to MIR. Tweed. who
signed it in his room but the Depu-
ty Warden did not know what the
contents of the affidavit were. Tweed
was visited to-day by his counsel,
David Dudley Field. a partner in
business with Tweed's son,
Although three unoccupied houses
adjoin the residence of. the "3oss,"
not one of them was searched. In
twenty minutes after the police had
been notified of the escape, word had
reached every station in the city,
and mounted squads were out in
force riding through the suburbs at
full speed. Inspector Thorne re-
ceived immediate notification, and in
q short time was at the Nineteenth
Precinct Station.house. Taking Ser
geant Whitcomb and Detective Nc.
Gowan with him, he visited Tweed's
house, and put guards at the trance
and made q thorough search from
roof to cellar, but not the slightest
trace OF the fugitive was found.
When Warden Durham returned
to Ludlow street Jail, he stated he
had been dining with Tweed at the
Boulevard, and they returned in Is
carriage to Tweed's son-in-law's. MIR.
