EDITORS CHRONICLE: There is question
in connection with our county public
schools upon which 1 should like to have
some information. How is it that so many
of our county teachers hold nigh grade GER
tifcates? I am informed that a large num-
Der of them hold perfect certificates, receiv-
ing ten in every study. Has our County
superintendent examined these teachers
carefully and given them high marks only
after thorough examination? Or has he
failed to examine them and given them
such grade upon the say-sO of others? If
these marks are faithfully earned, then our
county teachers should rank very high in
the profession, for every teacher Of any
ability knows how really difticult it is even
for thorough scholars to obtain perfect upon
q general examination. To give such marks
unless properly earned is very unjust TO the
majority of teachers and injurious to our
public school system. Let rs have light.

Owing to the unpropitious weather, the
teachers meeting on the I'D ult. was not
largely attended, but there were present
several of the profession from other points.
Organization, impromptu discussions, a
good dinner and q lew resolutions COM
prised the programme. The society is to
be known in future as GAINESVILLE Tobacco
District Teachers Association, with Prof.
Ryan F. Hail as secretary. The next meet
ing will be held at Halltonian Academy,
Guthrie, on Saturday, 22d inst, and it is de-
sired on this occasion TO have q grand rally
of pedagogues from the territory embraced.
Quite an interest was manifested by our cit
liens in the last meeting, and much regret
was expressed that the weather was so I'M
favorable. In order that there may be no
future disappointments from such a cause,
IL was unanimously agreed that the society
should adopt for its motto "Meet, Rain or
Shine" It is to be hoped that members of
the profession over the territory comprising
the GAINESVILLE Tobacco District will act in
accordance with the above motto, so that at
the next meeting we may have a grand
rally.
Messrs. Street, Day & Co. will occupy the
lower story of the new. building of Mr.. T. p.
Norris. Drs. Williams and Arlington, We
understand, have secured offices in the up
per story. Mr. w. t. Spalding, now of State
line, will move his stock into the building
now occupied by Street, Day & Co.
Mr.. w. w. Morrow, first-class mechanic
and a quondam citizen OF this place, and
now ofFort Worth, Texas, is here on q visit.
We would not be at all surprised ii he re-
located, for at no time in the past has there
been such a fine prospect for improvement
as now exists at Guthrie. Several parties
will commence building as soon as spring
fairly opens.
In addition TO Halltonian academy we
have another finesC.hool, conducted in the
Presbyterian Church, under the supervision
of Messrs. Lindsay and Bryant. Success to
it and all other enterprises that tend to
make man a wiser and bettet creature.
Mr.. Needham B. Jones disposed of all his
personal property this week at public sale,
and will leave at once for Florida, where he
will in all probability permanently locate.
Elder Jones has for some time had charge of
the church at brakes Pond, and the old
Baptist brethren viii sadly miss him. He,
as well as all members of his congregation,
enjoys the confidence and esteem of this en-
tire community, and it is the mutual regret
of his flock and the community that he
leaves.

WAsuISGroS, June9 : President Hayes
has declined to see visitors to-day, and is
engaged upon the preparation Of q message

viding for the pay OF Marshals. He will
hold that the political rider in this bill is
quite as offensive, and means all that any
OK the political legislation that has been
attempted meant, and that it restricts his
constitutional powers Just as much as the
bill that he recently vetoed. He will hold
that, under this bill, certain duties OF the
Courts could not be performed, and that
II is vicious legislation.
The bill providing for the Courts, re-
pealing the test oath and changing the
method Of drawing jurors, he will sign.
There has been much private caucusing
to-day over the propriety Of the President
calling another extra session. II was
stated to-day by one Of the Presidents

AXroXELLr WILL CASE.

RoME, June 2S.-The pleadings in the
Lambertini-Antonelli will case have been
closed, and the Supreme Court is prepar-
ing the sentence Conioimably with
Advocate General Paschal's arguments
yesterday: First-There is no written
evidence that the Countess Lambertini is
the daughter Of Cardinal Antonelli. Sec
ond-If she is really the daughter OF the
Cardinal, she will be, according to canon
law, sacrilegious ehild-that is to say,
children OF priests had not even the right
to claim parcntage. Third-It would be
immoral for her to abandon her legitimate
social position to become Legitimate, for
mercenary purposes. Advocate Mancini
pleaded in behalf OF the Countess, and
BoChettoni for the brothers OF Cardinal
Antonelli. The Countess Lambertini
gained her suit before the civil tribunal,
She lost it before the Court Of Appeals,
and has lost again in the Supreme Court oi
Appeals. She is now condemned in costs
of 100000 livres (about $25,OOO). Her
part OF the Cardinals inheritance would
be nine millions livres.
