The Cincinnati Commercial has evidently
taken a scare at the idea Of Conkling as a wit
ness before the Potter Committee, and dis
plays it's alarm in its own peculiar way by
throwing premature mud at Lord Roscoe.
It warns him that it is too late for him to dis
close the frauds of 1876 without appearing in
the role of an accessory, and this will only
"prove him to be no better than those who
devised and carried out the fraud"

interview with Mrs. jerks in Washington last
winter, and conversed with her about the
Sherman letter. Being asked what she said
about it, Mr.: Hiscock objected as there was
no legal evidence that Shermsn wrote the

did write the letter from evidence already
given. Gen. Butler did not think there was
the slightest inference that could be legally
or logically drawn that Sherman wrote
the so-called Sherman letter. After some
further discussion the witness was excused,

ST. PAUL, June IA. 1878.
Frederick A. Fogg, County Superintendent of
Schools, Ramsey County, Minnesota:
SIR: / am in receipt of your favor of the
9th inst, submitting the following questions
respecting the act to provide uniform and cheap

First, With respect to the ordering of the
State books by clerks of common and indie
pendent districts, does the law leave it to the
option of said clerks, or does it enjoin it upon
them as aduty?
Second. If said clerks fail to order books
by March 18th, it is their duty to order soon
thereafter as possible?
ssThird. Is it the duty of said clerks, in
making acquisitions for books, to order guam
tity sufficient to supply the pupils Of their dis
tricts for the full school years.
That portion Of section of the act approved

to me, contains definite answer to your first
and third questions.

ishable by q fine not to exceed twenty-five
dollars or imprisonment not to exceed thirty
days.
The proviso to section six Of the supplement
tary act, approved March 9th. 1873, answers in
the affirmative your second inquiry. Very re-
specially yours, GEO. P. Wilson,
