gard to corporal punishment in the

Tomas B. Staggers, Esq, who spoke
enthusiastically Of the school at Wood
land and of the generous manner in
which he had been supported by its
patrons. In regard to the use of the
rod, he ably held "there was no cri-
terion to be governed by in relation to
the control of a school," He spoke of
the danger of both extremes and took
the middle ground" that the rod
should only be used in extreme cases
and then used well. Mr. Staggers
closed his speech with an appeal to
the school and patrons to support all
connected with the schools in the hon
est discharge of duty. Prof ID. b.
Purinton of the University was then

~The mistake made by the
Massachusetts Republicans in voting
with Hayes has been promptly taken
advantage of by Benz. f. Butler, who,
in speech the other night, gave for
the first time in public, his opinion
Of the Administration. If it is said
the Republican State Convention en-
dorsed the Administration, the suffi-
cient reply is that Republican con-
vention in Massachusetts, in ordinary
times, represents nothing in the world
but the ideas of two or three men. If
these few men had wished for any 9th
er kind of action toward the Admin
istration the Convention would have
taken such action. Gen. Buffers
speech denounces the Southern poll
cy as bitterly as Blaine himself, and
says, what is manifestly true, that so
far as the civil service reform is con-
cerned, it is delusion. He says,
that at the headquarters Of this re-
form, it is the subject Of laughter and
contempt. Gen. Buffers leadership
Of Massachusetts, Republicans may
