The first official returns of the new
census for iowa, embracing about half the
counties in the State show that this is a
good State for Massachusetts to send its
surplus women to. In every county of
the portion of the State reported, the male
population exceeds the female. So that
this is still State with splendid enduce-

to the last returns we are short at least

Judge Blacks recently published on;n-
ION on the right OF congress and state leg
lslatures toimpose restrictions on railroads
has been responded to by one from
George L, Curtis, which is the very oppo-
site OF Judge Black s-showing how easily
great lawyers may differ on the same
question of law. Judge Black declared
that railways are public highways intended
for the use OF the public, and, therefore,
subject to the continual regulation of the
state; that the companies owning them.
have no absolute ownership in them: they
are only agents of the state which charter
ed them; and the state maya any and all
tunes, interfere to regulate their charges
and direct their management 10 the inter
est of the public, taking care only that the
Companies receive reasonable profit for
conducting the business. Mr.. Curtis,
on the contrary. holds that the companies
own the roads sbuilt by them as alb
solutely as private individual owns his
house or mill, and that they have a right
to operate and manage them at their dis.
erection and for their exclusive benefit:
that railroad charter cannot be interfer-
ed with unless the state granting il expllc-
lily reserves the right to alter: that this
charter is an inviolabe contract under
wnlcn 'uo company may TX charges to suit
itself, whether they suit the public or not.
Whether the time shall ever come when
it will be advisable to act on the basis of
Judge Blacks opinion. or not. it may be
safely assumed that the extreme opinion
of Judge Curtis on the other side will
never be recognized and accepted, Any
legislative or congressional regulation OF
railroads will have to be exercised with
great care and moderation to prevent it
from ipjuring one section Of the country
for the benefit of another; still. the public
will peVer admit that it does not possess
this right of supervision, and that railroad
com panies are beyond the reach of law.

incompetent Supervisors.

To the Editor of the KeHne5ec Journal:
The condition of many of the schools in
this county has often seemed to us to furnish
good ground for reproach. A little investi-
CATION cannot fail to show to even the most
superficial observer, that unsuitable and in
competent supervisors are to be included
among the primary causes of the evils which
exist.
In any great undertaking, involving the
employment of large force of men or wo-
men. it is always desirable to have an expc
rienced leader, capable of Judging of the
qualifications and abilities of his subordi-
mates, and skillfuly directing their efforts
towards one common object. In order to ac-
complish the desired result, he should not
only be familiar with every branch of the
work, but be fitted, if he be apublic servant,
to make clear and ineligible report of the
advancement and progress. That this is Of
ten not the case is only too evident to one
who carefully peruses some of the reports of
the Supervisors of schools in the different
towns.
We have before us. at present, one of
these interesting, entertaining and amusing
little pamphlets of English Literature.-the
report of the Supervisor of schools in the
town of China. Ii is so full of grammatical
bluders. verbal errors ambiguous expressions.
rhetorical inelegancies, and mistakes in pune
tuation and the use of capitals. that we can
not refrain from noticing few of them.

1.-The school was then excused and proceeded
to the examination of the teacher" This
was a very unusual course. In most country
schools the pupils do not wait until they are
excused nor do they even ask to be excused
before entering upon this procedure. The
examination is generally conducted during
school hours, and is ordinarily limited to
careful scrutiny and assiduous watching of
the teacher and his movements

the habit of going to foreign countries for
teachers? Has Europe. with her accumu-

ton for the scholars; or have the heather
countries contributed to the enlightenment OF
the people in this district?

BILE TO the. pupils and their teacher We
have heard scholars murder selections which
they attempted to render. We are glad to
know that this was an official and legal muir
der,-an execution.
In district No. 20. Miss HAS had
the entire charge of this school" The aver
age attendance during the winter has been
five. What unparalleled ability has been
shown by the Young lady in assuming entire
control of this school, The agent in that
district has false notions of economy. He
ought to have provided at least, four assis-
tants.
We would also inform our friend. the Su-
pervisor, that questions should be answered
and not worked or performed; that teacher
may make his debut an, but not into school
house; and that clauses manifestly belong
ing to the same sentence should not be sepa-
rated by a period.
The other mistakes are numerous, but
space forbids us TO mention them. We will
close our review of this instructive p.oduc-
ton by quoting from the Supervisors re-
marks concerning uniformity of text books.
'iIn grammar there were in use six different
text books, often finding three in one school,
and what few mental arithmetics were used,
the same diversity prevailed" If the Super
visor has any adraneed class in grammar in
his school, (Which is extremely doubtful, he
would do well to give them this sentence for
analysis and parsing. Millions Paradise

in this sentence are equally obscure.

to this and require such a man to pass an ex-
animation. which will show his capacity or
incapacity to hold such a situation? Clearly.
so far as the education of youth is concerned,

In the republican party, opinion has
moved rapidly since the conventions in
Pennsylvania and New York The dem
onstration that General Grant was not
really the first choice of the majority of
republican voters, even in those States
has had the effect predicted All over the
country. from Maine to Texas, the tenden-
cy has been strongly against the third
term movement. and it now seems posi-
bic that the name of the ex-President may
not be presented at all in the republican
convention. The friends of Mr.. Blaine
have been gaining ground constantly.
They already feel confident that he will
receive more votes at the outset than any
other candidate. 1t is but fair to say. too,
that action has not yet been taken in the
States where Secretary Sherman is be-
lieved to be the strongest candidate, and
that his support in the convention may
prove much larger than would be inferred
from the mere surface indications at pres
ent. The republicans know that they
can elect either of several good eau
didates with certainty. and they are not
likely to give the democrats the greatest
possible chance of success by putting up
the one man who might perhaps be de
