of the new Code, on Public Education, Of
ferred by Mr.. Marett, Of Marshall, has
been adopted by the House, and is now be-
fore the Senate:
Amend section - by adding TO the last
clause Of that which corresponds to section
80 Acts Of 1873, the following, viz:
Provided, that i'm high schools and coll
leges recognized by the proper authority az
public schools that have pupils in attend
ance from more than one county or school
district, the principal teacher shall only be re-
quirod % make a complete monthly report Of
the whole school 10 the Superintendent Of the
county in which the school Is situated, who
shall issue to the teacher certificates for the
amount due for the tuition of the pupils
from each such county or district, and upon
presentation Of such certificate to the re-
spective county superintendents, they shall
each issue TO the teacher pay certificate
for the tuition Of the pupils from their
county or district, based upon the ratio that
the number Of children from such county
or district bears To the whole number of
children at the school, and the whole
amount paid by the different counties or
districts shall be the same as if the pupils
had all been Of one county.
The favorable features Of this amendment
are that il affords great relief to teachers of
high schools and adds bus little additional
labor TO the County superintendent.

Gen. w 8. Hancock, Jefferson Bar
racks, Missouri:
MY DEAR GENERAL-Lest your
peace of mind may be disturbed by
a foolish report banded i'm newspa-
ners about your being ordered from
New York, ! will toll you there is
not word of truth in 1t. Neither
the president nor secretary of war
has intimated to me such purpose,
and / know I have never said a
word or written syllable to this
effect. / see in the Republican, of
st. Louis, that not only was the
order made, but that destroyed it
and tore out leaves of the record
book containing the copy. The
whole thing was and is an invention
by somebody who wanted to create
sensation. The same is true about
John Sherman intriguing to be
president of the senate, that he
might be president dd interim. He
has told me that he has never heard
the subject broached THAT he would
not accept the place, as he prefers to
be what he is now, chairman of the
senate committee on finance. i hope
you will find the family in good
health and spirits, and / hope you
will spend with me peaceful and
happy week of the holidays.
This letter may be superfiuous,
but the emphatic repetitions of a
wild rumor in the st. Louis Repub-
Iican suggested to me the proprity
of my correcting an impression Il
made on you. No SERIOUS changes
in the commands are being papteIa.
plated, and when they are, you
may be sure that / will give you
the earliest notice. There are men
on mischief intent, who would glad
! ly SOW the seeds of dissensi0n among
