medy should parent or guardian be so far neglectful as to leave a child under their charge to grow up in ignorance. It has now be- come a we'll settled conviction with intelligent, thinking people, that to secure good government, to relieve the Overcrowded pris- ons, and to insure the perpetuity of the republic, a common school system of education must be main tained, and every child of sound mind and sufficient age, must be given an elementary education. In no way can this be accomplish ed except by providing the means and place of instruction free of cost. And to insure equal and eX- act privileges to every citizen, the school room must be carefully guarded against every kind of sectarian teaching, so that the children of every nationality and creed may meet upon this com. mon neutral ground, and while receiving instruction, may learn to respect each other, regardless of accident of birth or difference in religious belief. Any other course can only result in the utter destruction. of our public school system. Our forefathers wisely founded this government upon the firm base of religious freedom and the utter separation of church and State. Under our free school system, this principle has been and will be most faithfully carried out. The church and home cir, cle teach the rising generation such religion as the parent or guardian may desire, while the public school affords the means for all to become useful American citizens. Depart from this we'll founded principle and unite the schools and church, the union of church and State is as sure to fol- low as that the night follows the day. Then the struggle to cOm- pei unity of faith such as is now going on in Spain will follow, with all it's attendant suffering, oppression and wrong.
 am pleased to be able to report the steady advancement of public education in the Territory. The people are very generally united in favor of sustaining and main taining the system of free schools, and nothing beside in our organ ization, has done more to attract an intelligent and industrious po- pulatiOn to settle among us, and to establish our reputation for in telIigence and progress.
 Very respectfully,
 A. P. K. STAFFORD,
 Governor.

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
The Centennial.

ton, we have made arrangements with a gentleman of Philadelphia to send us weekly letter giving matters of interest occurring dur ing the Exposition. These letters are strictly editorial, and papers copying them will please give the usual credit.
 PHILADELPHIA, March 2d, 1876. . Philadelphia is not the place for our Centennial Exhibition from an historical point of view alone, although so many and such ina portant events in the early history of our nation are centered here, that Philadelphia might not in appropriately be termed "The Centennial City," (of which more hereafter) but we question if grounds so well adapted to this purpose can be found so near any of our larger American cities.
 The grounds can be made as large as those who want the most elbow room in this world could wish, they are high, dry and airy. and by nature beautifully Fair mount Park, you must know is one of the loveliest as we'll as one of the most extensive parks in the world. Our Centennial grounds are also far more extensive and beautiful than Lydenham where the London, or the Champs Ely sees, where the Paris Propositions were held, and, while the Prater at Vienna is perhaps not wanting in length and breadth, it is low, fiat and wet, its only beauty being the large forest trees which were so plenty as to obstruct, in the general f1atness of things, any general view of the Exposition Buildings.
 Here, on the other hand from Georges Hill a point of some his torical interest which lies but a few hundred yards back of the Machinery Hall, a splendid view of the Centennial grounds, and indeed of the entire city can. be obtained.
 The space allotted for Centen- nfal purposes containing about four hundred and twenty acres, is in space an irregular triangle, and is to be enclosed by a high fence over three miles in length, with thirteen gates, representing the thirteen original states.
 The 1buildings, including those intended for exhibits, and those for all other purposes are about one hundred in number, and cOv- CT an area of about seventy. five acres this area being from two to three times more than that cover ed at any of the International Ex- positions yet held. These build ings are scattered quite irregular ly over the whole area, but may for convenience sake be very pro- perly divided into three groups. The first of consists of the Main Exhibition Building, Memorial Hall, Judges Pavilion, Centennial Photographic Association. Pavil ion Offices of the Centennial Con- mission and Finance Bureau, Cen tennial National Bank, Vienna Bakery. Carriage Factory, Japan csc Bazaar, Dairyman'S AssOcia- tion Building, German and I'm perial Pavilion, and other struc. lures of minor importance. These buildings are collected at the southern extremity of the tri- angle, in closet proximity to the city and easiest reached by any of the street car lines.
 The second group stands to the north under the brow of Geoge's Hill, and here may be found the Machinery Hall, U. $. Laboratory and Hospital, the three buildings of the British Government, Penns2ivania Railroad Co.'S Gen.

 Of these 2508 children, 1265 are boys, and 1243 are girls, and of these, 90S can read and write, leaving 1900 who cannot read and write. The large proportion re- ported as unable to read and write is a source of regret, but it must be borne in mind that it is only about three years since the public school system has been put into successful operation, and from want of school houses and means to defray the expenses of schools, large number of the children were unable to find school accom- mOdations. Bat the school re- venue is constantly increasing, and it is to be hoped that in a short time, every child within Arizona will have an opportunity of obtaining the rudiments of an education.
 Then our excellent Governor and earnest, indefatigable friend or free education, the father of the public school system in Arizona, closes his report in the following language, which We commend to the attention of the friends of education and religious freedom, everywhere:
 The last Territorial Legislature passed an Act to enforce the edu- cation of children, but there has so far been no necessity of exer- cising the power granted by this law, the parents and guardians of children having uniformly shown a willing disposition to send chil- dren to some school. Besides, the public school accommodations have generally been inadequate to receive more pupils than have applied for admission. I consider however, that the law giving this powe&of enforcing education is a good sne, affording a certain re-

setts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Delaware, Stove Works, Glass Factory, w. P. Cadets Encamp- ment, and various restaurants and soda founts. On the east nearer the river and easily reached by boats, are scattered in the third group the Horticultural Hall, Agricultural Hall, Kansas and New Jersey State Buildings, |, American Brewers Building, New England Log House, WO- mans Pavilion, numerous large | restaurants, school houses and !! minor buildings. The strictest order is preserved throughout the grounds by an efficient police force, but the Centennial guard will not be organized or called in- to action until just before the open ing of the exhibition. Asphalt walks will traverse the grounds in all directions, insuring in the wetest weather a safe and con- fOrtable transit from building 10 building.
 Narrow gauge tracks have been laid, connecting the three groups of buildings of which have spOk- en upon which in a circular route those who do not choose to walk may ride and rest themselves.
 The main building was com pIeted on St. Valentines day, and has been virtually turned over to the Foreign and State COmmis- sioners for them to complete the interior arrangements for the ac- commodation of their respective exhibitors and exhibits. Spain is leading in this work, her castle within castle being already near ly erected. The heavy thunder storm of Sunday night showed very efectually the defects in the vast expance of roof, and the busy workmen are laboriug with their hammers and white lead as if they would make every crevice alright, as well as water tight.
 And it is well that they should be thus particular, for millions of dollars worth of goods were lost to the exhibitors at the Vienna exposition from imperfect protect tion against the elements.
 The external work upon the machinery hall has been for some time completed and some of the bulky foreign exhibits are already in their places.
 In the large wing on the wes- tern side of the building excava- tions are being made for the fur naces and engines which ale to propel all the machinery in the hall and in the leather and Carriage factories which are now in the process of erection not far distant. In front of Machinery Hall an artificial lake has been formed which with its central fountain and its sodded banks, it's gold fish and it's Swan will add much to the beauty and variety of the grounds. The U. s. Building, standing to the left of the lake is also completed and cannon, mor- tarS, naval armaments and piles of shot and shell are being placed in martial array around it, indi- cative at once of the strength of our government and that dire ne. cessity of all organized govern ment, self assertion and self pro- tection.
 The Horticultural Hall will ex- teriOrly soon be completed. This vast md appropriate edifice stands at a considerable distance from those before mentioned, up. on an eminence overlooking the Schuylkill river, and from it's steps

THE COUNTY JUDdEsnP.-There is a
wild rumor aaoat to the effect that the
Hon. G. o. Davenport is really the
nominee OF the Democratic Convention
for the County Judgship. The story
goes that the tally sheet was found in the
Court House the other day, and upon be.
ing examined a mistake in the footing
was discovered which gave Dayen-
port the nomination on the first ballot by
thirty.seven majority. It will be. re.
membered that Mr.. ", c.. Handlan was
the Secretary Of the Convention, and that
Mr.. c. W. Frdnzheim was his assistant.
The tally sheet was kept by Mr.. Franz
helm, who it is said, made the mistake in
counting the votes. The result Of the
first ballot, as announced to the Conven-
ton, was as follows: Davenport,
1888; Boyd, 9l9; Kennedy, 425. Opinions
differ as to the plausibility Of the state.
inent, yet there are many who firmly be-
lieve that there is something in It. How.
ever,a reporter for this paper has been
unable TO trace ii to any reliable source.
Mr.. Davenport is not nov In the city.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE. The
following paragraphs appeared in the
news column OF the Pittsburgh Dispatch
yesterdaylmorning, and in the EDITORIAL
columns Of the Standard last evening: T
"Cary has already taken the field, and
will make creation howl for Cooper and
Cary, from now to the eth Of November"
"Queen Victoria is troubled about the
hitch in the extradition treaty. She
hopes a satisfactory understanding will
soon be reached. This view Of the sub
ject should have been taken sooner. Is
John Bull getting tired OF the companion
ship OF Winslow and such as he? We
don't want them. Perhaps John will be
willing 10 let the. next treaty stand"
General Sherman stated yesterday that
he had received q similar report, from
another direction, TO that published Mon.
day, stating that terrible battle had
taken place between General Crook and
the Sioux, and that the latter had been
almost annihilated. 1t was brought TO
Red Cloud Agency, and sent to him from
Laramie; therefore, he says, there seems
to be more substance in the Squaw's story
than at first was considered probable.p
