COUNTY SCHOOL FINANCES.

Below we give the apportionment of
the county school funds, number of
pupils in each district, etc. Last year
there were distributed 12,262.5O of
county funds among 3405 pupils giving
IA pro rata OF $3.50 after $50 had been
appropriated to each district irrespec-
tive of the number of pupils it con-
tanned. This year there are $13,-
64l.70 to be apportioned among 36ll
pupils, giving "a pro rata of $2.67 to
each pupil. Thus it will be seen that
this years fund is $l379.20 greater
than that of last year, that the pupils
have increased to the number of 206;
that the pro rata has increased II cents.
1t may be necessary to explain what,
from casual observation of the table,
might be regarded as an injustice to
the larger districts. 1t will be seen
that district number SO has 13 pu,,ils
and receives $S4.7O, being a fraction
over $6.5l to each pupil; whereas dis
trict number 9 has 706 pupils and
draws $l935, being but fraction
more than $2.74 for each pupil. This
difference is due to the fact that the
law requires that $50 be apportioned
to each district whether it have few or
many pupils, and that the remainder
of the fund be distributed equally
among the pupils. The whole amount,
therefore, apportioned to each district
will be greater, in proportion to num-
ber of pupils, in the smaller districts

received assurances from the premier that
the change would not interfere with the
presenting of the Anglo-Portuguese con-
yention to the Cortes. To-night's advices
confirm the report of the intention of Senor
Bocage to retain the foreign portfolio in
order to pass the convention, with which
both the progressists and conservatives are
almost content.

Justice Brewer Grants Him Writ OF
frror
WASHINGTON. May 16-Justice Brewer
Of the United States supreme court to-day
granted the application Of the counsel for
Gov. ELECT Boyd, who was elected governor
of Nebraska, for a writ of error to the
supreme court to test the questions involved
in the decision of the majority of the
supreme court OF Nebraska, which decided
that be was not an American citizen, and
therefore not eligible TO the office of
governor. The Nebraska supreme court
meets again on May 25, and it is the inten-
tion Of Gov. ELECT Boyd's counsel to move
to advance the case on the docket and
secure a hearing as soon as possible. The
court adiourns for its summer recess on
May 25, and there is possibility that an
effort will be made to have the case argued
on that day, or to have the time fixed on
that day for hearing at the next session OF
the court. Gov.-elect Boyd is repre-
rented by ex-Attorney General Gar
land and MIR. May of Washington
and II. D. Esterbrook of Nebraska.
1t was Gov-eIect Boyd's contention, when
the case was being heard before the state
supreme court, that he was a citizen By
virtue of the action of his father in taking
out naturalization papers, and also from the
fact that he was an inhabitant of Nebraska
at the time the state was admitted to the
union

penitentiarY for attempted rape in 1878.
was, among other oonviots. pardoned by
the governor to-day. Gaines was
sent up from Douglass county. The
evidence against him appears to have
been 70 tiimsy that the prosecuting attorney
declared to the governor that he had always
doubted tho proprioty OF the conviction,
and was satisfied that in the thirteen years
already served the negro had been more
than sufficiently punished.
Pardons we're also granted William A.
Courteney of Musoogee county, sentenced
to five years for forgery. and Boney
Waters, sent up for four years from johnson
county for having q stolen bale of
cotton. In the latter case it was
claimed that Albert Webb, who was also
convicted on the same account, used young
Williams as a catspaw, con ealing from
him that the cotton had been stolen. In all
ton applications for pardon were disposed
Of to-day. Six were denied. Among them
was that Of j. A. Crosby OF Chatham. who,
having wound up a drunken frolic by
sticking a knife into an old negro was
given a five years term.

LONDON, May 15.-The Standard in an

account for Americas extraordinary zeal
in pursuing the Chilean steamer Itata on
the assumption that the government is de-
lighted at having an opportunity Of retro
spectively justi6ying the Alabama conten-
ton as against England. It is doubtful,
however, whether this ingenious behavior
can establish any new dictum in interna-
tional law"

He Claims That His Assassinat ton
story Was Misquoted.
New ORLEANS, May 15.-The grand jury
was called together yesterday for the pur-
pose of acting on some published interviews
Of Consul Corte. in which he stated that
there was plot among the Italians to take
vengeance on the mayor and others. but
that he frustrated it by counseling GOODNESS,
and saved the lives Of the citizens. A COM
mittee of the grand jury called on Consul
Corte for the names OF the plotters, but he
said he had been misinterpreted by the
newspapers. There was a strong feeling
against the Italians here, as in all other
places in America. and he, like other con-
suls, had used his best efforts in the interest
of peace and quiet.
