In your yesterdays weekly
you suggest the name of our
worthy and cstimablc citizen,
Capt. J. NJ. Williams, for the po-
sition Of Comptroller. Why
not suggest him for a place
more congenial to his circum-
stances in life; possessing ample
means, there is no need for his
holding all Office that requires
the immense amount of labor
and veXation of mind the Comp
troller is subject to. As Lieut..
Governor he would be brought
up to the front, where he could
be much more useful in the dis
play of his practicable good
sense, in watching and using
his influence in directing the
workings of the legislature. As
a candidate for Lieut.. Governor,
he would be of sterling advan-
tage to the democracy in stump
ing the state. Possessing wealth
with which he is always iberaD
and great oratorical powers he
would assure an enthusiasm
among the Granger-Democracy
in the heated contest that may
be expected in the coming cleo
ton; particularly, in this con-
gressional district where it will
require every effort to secure Il
Democratic Congressman.
Bring out our gifted men,
workers; and place them where
they can do the most good and
their services most appreciated.
Let old Washington loom up
and if We can't get the Cover
Nor, let us pole for the highest
position, as we have the men
competent for any or all posi-
tons, but generosity forbids
our working for more than one
state officer and we would be
content with Capt. Williams for
Lieut.. Governor. A GRANGER.

Our Public Schools.

The public examinations of
our city schools commenced on
Thursday, closing on Friday,
and have been largely attended
byparents and visitors general
ly. The examination was thor
ough and the students, almost
without a single exception, ac-
quilted themselves with honor
and entire satisfaction to the
patrons of the school. The
students are we'll trained and
disciplined and under fine con-
troll, rendering the examination
a real pleasure to visitors, as
well as students and teachers.
In every department the chill
dren displayed great aptness
and a thorough knowledge Of
their studies. Special atten-
ton seems to be given to the
study of mathematics, and it is
remarkable to note the prompt
ness and rapidity with which
little boys and girls of from s
to 10 years of age do sums in
addition, subtraction and multi
plication; indeed, we doubt if
there is a dozen business men
in the city that will do these
sums as readily and correctly as
do some of these little children,
To say that the exercises in
all departments were highly sat
isfactory, is putting the question
mildly, rejecting great credit
upon Prof. Hand and his able
corps Of assistants, who are en-
titled to the thanks and admir-
alton of the patrons Of the
schools for the careful, pains
taking interest they have mani
tested in behalf of their pupils
during the session just closed.
These schools are the boast
and admiratian OF every good
citizen of BRENNAN and it is
with pride and pleasure that we
note their continued growth and
advancement; they are, indeed
our sheet-anchor OF hope-an

which depends the future great
