The Chicago Tribune complains that
penmsnahip is almost entirely ignored in
the schools Of that city, while plenty of at
tention IL given to music and drawing
studies "oi no practical value" So far as
the value of drawing ia concerned. We fear
the Tribune has entirely lost eight of one Of
the needs OF the present generation, the
study and application Of the principle Of
industrial art. We are annually paying
large Gums TO skilled European artisans,
simply because drawing has not been taught
in the public schools Of thi. country, and ss
a consequence few American mechanics
know a pretty object from an ugly one.
We can manufacture our own articles Of
utility, but for things of beauty We are still
very largely dependent upon countries
where drawing is recognized as an import
ant study.

meDts in the Departments.


CIxCISSATI, Sept. Secretary Sherman
stated to reporter Of the Comme,etdl, in
regard TO the charges published that he had
appointed Confs derate soldiers and his own
relations to Office, that they were false. Re-
ferripg to the names mentioned, he said
that Pitney wa in Office when he became

account. Roger Sherman Barley held no

CALIFORNIA.

TIE election in California takes place to
day. In order TO enable the reader TO IN
derstsnd the returns which will begin TO
come in tonight it may be well TO state
again that there are four candidates in the
field for Governor, namely: Perkins, Re
publican; Glenn, New Cons .itution White,
Kearneyite; and Clarke, Prohibition
The Democrats have no candidate
of their own, and are generally sup
porting Glenn; those OF them not doing so
will vote for White, the Workingmen's can
didste. The farmers are nearly all support
ing Glenn, irrespective of former party
predictions, and his election Is confident
ly predicted By his friends. The Chronicle
is perfectly confident Of his election by
5000 msjority; but this is an oyerestimate,
as most of the votes Of San Frarcisco will
be cast ior Perkins and White,-Glenn
probably not polling 10 per cent of the city
vote. Since the Kalloch affair Perkins
prospects have Improved, and the Republi-
csns now anticipate his election. Here is
the G.roaiolGs summary, based on zoo an
swers from all parts Of the State, to Its cir
cular letter of inquiry:
Had any doubt heretofore existed as 10 the
rtsipty of the success Of the New Consul u
ton party, that doubt mUst c.TsEIniy be 10y

TIE Rev. Mr.. Munson, Evangelist" o
whose ridiculous marriage at Worcester, in
the midst OF one Of his sermons, a few weeks
ago. the Inter Ocean gave an account, fol-
lowed up the wedding farce by baptizing
himself aud his wife in Salisbury pond on
the following Sunday, and has kept him
self on exhibition in one way and another
ever since. People at length getting it
through their heads, as they ought to have
known at the FIST moment Of his appear
snce, that Evangelist Munson is simply
dishonest old preacher, who ought to be set
at work breskiug stone on the highway.
His pretended marriage at Worcester, With
out the intervention of squire or priest, is
said to be void under The Massachusetts,
law, and besides, Information has come 10
the officers that Munson already has a wife
and four children in Kansas. The ease
with which W andering adventures in the
guise Of clergymen get access 10 churches
and houses, and the pockets Of men and the
affections of women, is something startling.
