Thursday, the LIST instant, being delightful
day, the chairman Of the Board of School Trus.
tees for Arlington district visited Arlington,
kemrer and Columbia schools, and found them
10 good condition, and made the following notes
in regard to each:
Arlington School, coored, situated 10 Freed
mans Village, had present one hundred schol-
ars. They were examined in spelling, reading,
arithmetic, geography and gram mar, IN which
studies they exhibited knowledge that re-
fleets great credit on their teacher, Miss Lane.
At Columbia School there were about thirty
scholars present., who upon examination showed
considerable proficiency In all their studies
The scholars Of this school have great advan-
tagc over those Of any other In the district
The parents Of most Of them being well cduca-
ted are enabled to give their children such ln-
structiou at home upon their lessons as TO
make them almost perfect at school. Inc
teacher, Miss Roberta Siss1u, deserves lie
cordial support Of both parents and pupils.
Kcmper School, colorea, located ut ConVa-
lesceut lamp, has been open Tor about year
oniy, and most OF the scholars entered school
then for the first time. Miss Jones IS the
teacher OF this school, and her scholars upon
examination showed they had made excellent
| progress. Two Of the scholars were registered
upon tic school record - being respectively ~
aud - years OF age. but by reference to the
registration books Of the county they were
found to be registered as voters. They vii! by
tic school law be required to pay their tuition.
On tie next day Walker School, situated at
Balls Cross Roads, was visited. 1t was noticed
that in this school, OF which Dir. james +.
Clements Is teacher the discipline Is tlf'
tcrcut from that Of the other schools, being
| somewhat military in style and quite strict.
| The scholars were wei! advanced and thorough
in what they had been taught. ln arithmetic
and geography they seemed to excel, SOWING
the most difficult questions (the same question:
asked in The other schools) With cearaesS auu
| in the shortest space Of time.

The decision Of Judge Carpenter, OF South

SO far as such = consummatl0n can be accomp'
lished by legal proceedings, which, unioTu'
nately for the welfare Of the country, don t
amount to much under the existing radical
regime. BY it Mr.. Chamberlain and all hold
ing Office under him art cuiolncd from collect
ing or handling any lnoncy belonging to the
State, and a. liicit sole purpose was to possess
themselves Of that moucy, they will now, it Is
naturally supposed. Us the accomplishment OF
that purpose has hcGn frustrated, stop their
efforts to cheat the people Ct that State out Of
the possession CT their government.

AS many think that the only chance Mr.. ILL
den now has rests upon the Oregon case, 1t IS
of interest to know that the radicals have de-
terciued to oppose that claim upon the ground
that Governor Gro1cr had no right to decide
TO whom the certificates were to tc delivered,
but only TO deliver them, the Secretary OF State
being the officer authorized by laR 70 decide
who were eoti,lei to them, and that IS there
was no appeal made by Gov. Grover to any ac-
ton of the Secretary, the Governors action
was iuralid
