IT is said the school directors in some Of
the townships will not allow their teachers
the time spent at the county institute, not
withstanding the recent enactment on tho
subject The law passed by the legislature
of this state last winter provides that direc-
tors shall be required to allow the teachers
employed in the school districts, who are
actually employed in teaching school there
in, the time and wages whilst attending and
participating in the exercises Of the annual
county institutes for the improvement Of
teachers Superintendents are also requir-
ed TO make report to directors setting
forth the number of days that each teacher
shall have attended and participated in the
exercises of the said annual teacher insti-
tutes. which said report shall be the basis
for allowing the teachers their time and
wages. This is the law on the subject,
but some school boards are now a law unto
themselves, and may contest the matter.

One of the chief attractions Of the Teach
ers' Institute, held last week. was Mr. r.
Bruce Hayes. Of the Indiana State Normal.
Prof. Hayes gave his instructions in elocu-
ton in such plain and practical manner
that the most obtuse teacher present could
not help but be benefited thereby. His
entertainment Wednesday evening was to
many the most entertaining and ENJOYABLE
Of the series of entertainments given during
the week. Prof. Hayes is gifted with fall,
rich, musical voice, over which he has per-
feet control; his enunciation is distinct and
his address most pleasing. His rendition OF
How Sockcry Set the Hen" and several
other humorous pieces were greeted with
peals of laughter and long continued APP
plause. Socially, Prof. Hayes is one of
those. rare, genial gentlemen. that one al
ways feels better for having met.

There is enough food in the South that

1t should be sent by rail. Steamers are
too slow. Relief committees should be

Arrangements should be made with the
roads to forward the supplies Mt once

WASHINGTON, March 7-Representa-

on the bill for the construction Of new
war vessels. The report covered abont
eighty legal cap pages. 1t begins by
reviewing the present utter inefficiency
of the navy, and says: The naval
committee felt that the time for wise
and energetic action mas come. The
work of reconstruction must be begun
and pushed with vigor in order that
new vessels properly armed may be
ready to fill the places of vessels of the
present navy as fast as they become
unfit for further service. Bccommend
ed that steel be used in the construc-
tion of new vessels. Authorizing
the construction of vessels of war
for the navy and for other purposes
which this report is to accompany have
been amended by the committee since
published by the following: Section 8.
The secretary of the navy is hereby
authorized to cause TO be constructed
vessels TO be used for the defense of our
commerce upon the northwestern lakes
of not more than twelve hundred tons
displacement, the same to be built of
steel and armed with guns of approved
character for that service, said vessels

A POSITION on 1T GOES BEGGING.
WASHINGTON, March President
Arthur, this afternoon, made formal
tender of the position declined by Mr.
Conkling to Judge Edmunds, of Yer
mont. Mr.. Edmunds promptly de-
clined the second hand honor. Prom
inent politicians here are of the opin-
ion that no lawyer of eminence will ac-
cept the position now. 1t is too much
like playing sec nd fiddle to Conkling.
A prominent senator, in speaking of
this matter, said he believed that Ed
munds would have accepted it if the
appointment had been originally ten
dered him. The impression now seems
to be that Judge Blatchford, of New
York, will be appointed. His friends
assert, however, that he will not accept
under the circumstances.
Current comment on both Arthur's
and Conkling's actions are very severe
and the drift of the conversation is that
Arthur has prostituted the supreme
bench to selfish ends. 1t is not to be
presumed that the president nominal
ed this alleged great man, of whom he
has always stood in mortal terror,
without first learning whether such a
nomination would be agreeable to him
or not, and the intimate personal re-
lations always existing between the two
justify this suspicion. A senator this
afternoon said, Mr.. Conkling was nom
mated nearly two weeks ago, and if the
pl esidents purpose was 70 put the
nomination out as feeler of the public
pulse in and out of New York, he has
found out how the people feol in re-
spect to his bosom friend, if he has dill
gently read the newspapers, and lis
tened to public comment. He
has not only found out what they think
of Conkling, but what they think of q
Chief Magistrate who will toy thus

sition to the caprice CT personal favor.
itism. The President has also ascer-
| tanned, if ne is an observing man, that
neither the republican party nor the
mass of the people have forgotten the
shocking events of last summer, and
that they are not inclined either to
condone the bloody act of Guiteau or
to forgive those who are morally re-
sponsible, to some extent, for the as
sassination of their late beloved Presi-
dent.

THE CLosE PLACE THE BILL PUTS SPEAKER
KEIFER IN.

THE CLOSE PLACE THE BILL PUTS SPEAKER
KEIFER IN.
WASHINGTON, March Those who
are most intimate with Speaker Keifer
say that he is in straight betwixt
two on the bill which proposes to re-
appoint Gen. Grant in the army. He is
met on the one hand by Gen. Sherman
and his friends, who are known to be
very influential in his own state-Ohio
and he is very anxious to favor them,
while senators Logan, Cameron, and
other stalwarts, to whom Speaker
keifer confessedly owes his election to
the speakersnip,are demanding in COM
pensation for their service that he per-
form some parliamentary legerdemain
by which the bill can be taken from
the table and placed upon its passage,
even though Brother Holman may
stand up on his desk and yell at the
top of his voice, Il object" The re-
suit is that the speaker is said to have
panied Charley Foster ct al, who
are trying to get positive assur-
ances, before they will consent that the
bill be passed, that retirements always
retire. The proverbially ''silent man.
is said to be proverbially silent on the
question, much to the annoyance of
the much-annoyed parties in interest.
The situation is somewhat more COM
plicated now by the uncertainty of
what is to be the fate of the Conkling
nomination. Were it certainly known
that the ultimate designs of the stall
warts was to overslaugh Gen. Sherman
t,x 4
then the friends of Gen. Sherman
would retaliate by keeping Conkling's
nomination before the senate; but
while they feel very bitter toward
Conkling and would rejoice at his de-
feat, they feel that while they hGve
their hands in lions mouth they had
best keep quiet. But then if they
must, they must.
