ADvIcES FROM ROME

RoME. july 4th.-It appears that
Pope Leo, after first making friendly
overtures to the Emperor Of Germany
has, by the advice of the Ecclesiastics
surrounding him, determined to ad-
here to the policy of Pins TX. The
Cologne Gazette takes the opposite
view, and quotes in support thereof
the assertion of the Vienna semi-offi-

Nuncio to the Court OF Bavaria has
been instructed TO open negotiations

Next in Importance are the relations
of sheep husbandry to an improved
system Of agriculture. These consid-
erations apply much less to simply pas
t0ral husbandryy like thatof California
and Texas, than to sheep culture 3pur-
sued as a branch Of naked hnsbandry.
Sheep are the 0nly animals which do
not exhaust the Land up0n which they
feed, but permanently improve it.

Tin England the pastures of the county
Of Chester. famous as aoheese district,
are only kept up by the constant use

To representations and to
relieve unfaTorable impressions there
from, the Board of4Tzastees Of She
Wisconsin institute for the Deaf and
s3umb present. the following plain, con
else statement of faotsEesp ecting their
Eecent action
In February 1917, the attention of
ks}is Board vgasoalled to,ea-ta tain rum0rs
,aad charges against the, character Of
hi. G. t. Williams, then.a teacher in
the Institute AsmembeEsof the Board
was immediately@deputed 10 follow up
these rumors. anl.aseeEtain what evil
deace could h8obtained TO a0bstantiate
ons.efute the charges. HeAnade dill
ge&t inquiry and'ooQghtiR Ills report,
from which appeared that4here was
gr@and for suspicion that,Mr4W ilHams
had been criminally intlmate with q
young lady, fonmorlT~a pupil in the IN
stitute, but the eEideRce was tao vague
to ess ablish his guilt Nm that lrespect.
1t was, however, manifest that lie had
VISITED and conpe8pQ&ded wish the
young lady in qa8sti0nand with other
former pupils in way .prejudieaal to
their good and likely to work mischief
in theanstitution. 0ne~of the Board
was than sent out to confer with Mr..
Williams. On his f1etuEnthe fQllaa ing
resolution was passad, viz;
Where's, 1t has come to the lznQUl-
edge Of this Board t6at the, cQnduct>of
Mr.. G. I.{Villiams, a, teacher in this
Institute, lhas been SO imnGudent as ia
seriously ipapair, if nat fatally destroy,
ibis influence as teacher, therefore,
Re8ozcedo That said C. J.. Williams
Ills hereby requested to tender his resig-
nation, to cake effect Enananhadiately
hK salary t0tc0ntinue to MARCH i, 1877.
This resolution was re2,d ito Nfr. Will
liasns in the presence of tine BQard, and
he rendered his resignation aaoQrding-
w. and it was accepted. IL WAS sander
stood that he Usas at the ti11e fully
c0gmizant Of the rumors and suspicious
above referred ia.
Some time aftq, he had left, Mr..
Williams represented to the President
and other members of the Board that
he had been wrongat by a published
statement to the effect that he had been
removed from the institute for gross
immortality, and asked For an investiga-
ton for his vindicati0n. The Board. on
the 3oth Of March, 1877. gave him a
hearing in the presence Of the father
OF the young lady above referred TO-
The statements on both sides were
vague and vehement, but Arought no
new light on the matter In question,
except that Mr.. Williams presented an
affidavit which seemed to relieve one
circumstance that had sustained the
suspicious of his guilt. There was no
reason to think that On investigation
on the special charge could reach a
satisfactory conclusion. The real oc-
casion for asking his resignation was
wholly unrelieyed. That his case
might not appear before the public in
a false or exaggerated aspect. however,
the following negative statement was
given him:
In accepting the resignation of the
Mr.. G. Z. Williams as professor in the
WISCONSIN InSfitl1tn for fhp Deaf and

manner to answer to the charges, in-I
stead of accepting his resignation. We
are content to let the facts stated inI
the outset of this paper stand as our
reply to this verdict.
Principal wv. H. DeMotte was found
charged with
l. Ordering several Of the older
girls, pupils of the Institute, to their
rooms and causing them TO undress
and SO to bed in his presence. that
they might not thereafter be in DO
sition to cry shame on a teacher.
2. Improper, impure, and criminal
intimacy with female teachers of the
Institute and some Of the older pu-
pills"
! The repoot affirms that the first Of
these charges "is negatived by the tes-
timony and believed to be utterly
without foundations in fact" Re-
speeding the second, the investigating
Boa&d say eve are OF the opinion tha5
there has been no impure or criminal
intimacy between Principal Denote
and the female teachers or the older
pupils of the Institute. We are how
ever of the opinion that indiscreet IA
miiarity has been more OF less in
dulged." The ground of this light
censare appears to be Mr.. Denotes
OWE admission rather than the testi-
mony of others. On inquiry, his ut
most offending is found to be that he
haseoccasionally greeted q teacher OF a
pupil with a kiss on leaving or return
ing 10 the Institute, and in two OF
three instances ON a casual meeting OF
q teacher in the building. In his tes-
tim0ny, Mr., DeMotte pronounces his
own judgment against such acts as q
practice; but to the specific question
whether lie has e0or thus greeted, a

HAIL! ALL .HAIL!!!

Hail! All Hail u! ! Denis the First
Thane of San Francisco. King we hail
thee in the name ofthe good (?) people of
San Francisco, whose lord and master you
are. Right vaiantly have you won your
spurs, oh keaney, and may God give
you strength 10 plunge them into the
1anks of the coward, skulkers and sneaks
who abandoned their duty or the day OF
election, and either dancing to the music
of the lascivioas lutte in some lady's
chamber, or dragging their ry-rotting
lw bs from place 10 place and from hour
TO hour, as the day wore on, hoping that
night wonld come again, not caring
whether Kearney did or not win so long
as they could sleep and rest. The people
never can claim 10 be better than their
rulers; and although Kearney has been
denounced as II citizen of but eighteen
months growth, n brutal, beetle browed
rutfian; us an uneducatel, stolid scound-
rel; rs one without social. character,
standing or ability; although it was known
he had denounced the best men of the
city rs thieves and robbers; their mothers,
wives and daughters as harlots; and
threatened to make second Moscow of
San Francisco, he is to. day the ruler of
her people. Are Me people any better
than their 1uiers2 Kearney has been
handed the sceptre cR authority in this
city by the apathy of not less than ten
thousand Of her 'purest and best (?)''
citizens refusing to place their names or
the Great Register, in order that they
might vote, and by a neglect ofthe duty
incumbent upon them in refusing to vote
when they had the opportunity. What
right have the people OF this city to com
plain ut the result Of the election on Wed
nesday? Kearney won it fairly, square
ly and manfully. He wes wide-awake at
his post doing duty, while the immacu-
late shirt fronts, polished boots and fine
broadcloth of thousands Of her respectable
citizens (?) allowed the contest to go by
default. SO far as rulers are concerned
we are personally very easily satisfied.
We always bow to the authority that is
constituted to govern us, and Kearney's
faded Tama and dirty, specified panta-
looms win be as authoritative as Gesler's
cap. We rather like the change; we had
had too much respectabiiily in San Fran
cisco. The people began to realize it,
and Il reiormer mot exactly in the shape
Of Martin Luther was sent to right things.
He did on Wednesday. We are law
abiding citizen. We can easily conform
to the new rule. We have only one re-
quest to make Of our new King and that
is that Americans born on the soil may be
permitted to live here; or if they are to be
driven away, they may be given sufficient
time to arrange their affairs. a man
has always something to do before start
ing out on ar extended tour. "By their
fruits shall ye know then" Kearney is
the fruit of the dastards who did not vote
on Wednesday when there was no let or
hindrance to the act. BY him shall ye
know them. We have come to the con-
clusion that the poor have taken care of
the rich in San Francisco long enough
now let the rich take care OF themselves. &.
Again, Hail All Hail !! Denis the
First, Thane Of San Francisco. King ! I!
Spirit Of the Times.

WHOSE FAULT ?-The Workingmen
in Hum boldt have made cltan sweep
OF the Delegates TO the Constitutional
Convention. This is charged 10 w. i.
Huestis, non partisan nominee at large,
aud the local nominees DelIaven and
Kicks, who il IS asserted entered into a
combination TO mutually assist each 9TH
or TO the Convention. How much truth
there is in the charge we do not know,
bat Of one thing we are certain. Tho
people of Humboldt county have no one
but themselves to blame for .he nomina-
tion of Haestis. Had they met Il reason
able time before the Marysville Conven-
ton and taken even the smallest interest
IN sending Delegates thereto they Nigh:

AGAIN we say that it is useless for
miners or workingmcn of any kind to
come 10 this city or TO any place along
the Comstock expecting to find employ
ment. We have hundreds and hundreds
OF mon here now who can find nothing to
do; not miners alone, but men ofall trades.
Hundreds of first class mners-men in
nred to the heat Of the lower levels, and
men who have perfect knowledge of
every kind Of timbering, pump work and
work in rock in every kind of opening
ever made in minc-who are begging
for work. They are men who live here
and whose fam lilies live here. Not only
do the men beg fcr work, but their wives
50 to the forcmen and Superintendents,
carrying their children with them. and
implore them almost upon their knees to
give their husbands work. We saw this
yesterday at the Consolidated Virginia,
and it is TO be seen every day at the

TIE REsULT.-The Sacramento Rec
ord. onion, usually reliable on statistics
and election returns, figures the average
msjorities on the Delegates at Largo as
follows /: Non Partisan 9,034 Work
ingmen. 7,4g7. In conclusion it says !:
"The foolings OF the above statement
place the non partisan ticket generally in
majority of $50. This majority relates
TO those receiving the average majcrihes
on their tickets. All receiving more than
the average will have increased majori.ics.
OF those receiving less than the average
the most of them arc candidates in the
First Congressional District. These
would have been defeated but for the fact
that the Workingmen's candidates in the
First Congressional District we're not
voted for by The Workingmen in Sonoma
county, thus running behind their ticket
at large over 1000 votes. This latter
fact secures the election Of the eight Non
Partisans in the First Congressional Dis
trict. Besides these, j VI Porter, Walter
Van Dyke, James + Hale, on-Parti
sans in the Second District, received the
regular Republican votes, and will have
mGorit:es in the State of from 5000 to
1000. Also Benjamin Shurtleif and w

10 5000 in the State. Also G V Smith,
+ Martin and Geo " Scheil, on the Re-
lnblran, and Byron Waters, on the
Democratic ticket, in the Fourth District,
will have like majoritics. 1t remains TO
be noted that there is a probability Of the
loss o. james Mem Shafter from the
non-partisan ticket. As Pilkington runs
