Mr.. EpIToR: case of some interest to the
free school public is pending here in which the
meaning of the above notice is involved. Tho
facts are briefly follows: At n meeting of
the Trustees held on the - ult, three persons
applied for the same school of this number
only one had n certificate from the present
board One of the others had neglected to at
tend the meeting of the board, but held GER
titicatc from Il former board the other had new
er taught and had no credentials.
Under these circum stances number three had
NJ claims whatever, and SO the issue lay between
numbcr one and number two.
While Trustees \ and b decided that number
one, having been properly examined, could be
selected, c, in presenting the claims of number
two, eontended that it was unnecessary for
person who held Teachers Certificate to be
examined again, but ight take the School, and
have the old certificate revised some ether time.
The Trustees failing to agree, another meeting
was appointed. At the next meeting one of
them failed to attend, and, of course, the two

| WAITING FOR CoNrIKMATION.-Wash
January 2S.-ln the Judiciary Committee, to-
day, the case of MIR. Northrop, nominated to be
! United States District Attorney for South Caro-
lima, discussed briefly but was laid over at
the request of Senator Patterson, who wrote
asking that no definite action be taken upon it
until lie was able again to take his seat in the
Senate. This he hoped to do in q few days and
| il is inferred that he has given up the trip to
| Pennsylvania which he had contemplated. -
| What has induced him to change his mind is not
known definitely, but it is considered probable
that his action is to extent influenced by q
| report which has been current here for u day sr
| two past, that Gov. Hampton had forwarded 70
| the Democratic Governors Of Maryland Del
| aware and Ohio, through which States the
Senator would have to pass route for PcLnsyl-
vania, rcqusitiOns for his arrest, TN the same
charges which were brought against him some
time ago In the meantime the friends of Mr.
Nor'hrop are doing their utmost to have him.

porters arc confident that he, and not Northron,
is the coming man.
