Confederate Pensions.

To the Editor of The Post
Calvert Texas. December 2s.--I see in
your issue OF the 2sth letter from Mr..
J. G. Allcorn. headed: "No Pensions for
Drunkenness That is my ticket. WIN
you try to induce the great Governor
Sayers TO recommend to his present
called session of the legislature to donate
out OF the $4,000 now on hand of the
revenue TO pay the Confederate pension
to all that failed to get their applications
through in August court that applied be-
fore the August term. and failed on &C
count OF their Witnesses living at great
distance aud had to hunt them up. and
time was too short then. 1t Is very un-
just for this class to be deprived of the
two first draws. This class Is just as de-
serving as the one that got their applica-
tons through. and should be paid accord
ingly. We do not see or hear anything
of these lost applications forwarded to the
comptroller. We respectfully ask the
comptroller what has become OF them7

THE HILLHoUsE PRINcIPALsHIP.
Principal of the Schenectady High

Principal of the Schenectady High
 School Prominent Candidate,
 Considerable intefest is being mani- fested over the appointment of the next principal of the EIilhouse high school. Superintendent Beede has announced that he will make the appointment be- fore August 10 and there is yet num- Der of desirable candidates whom he will see, it is said. The candidates for the position have been extremely nu- merous and the choice of man will not be easy.
 A promising candidate for the place was in town yesterday in the person of Arthur Marvin. principal of the high school at Schenectady, N. Y. He came, it Is said. at the request of Superin- tendent Beede. and while here visited Mayor Drisco,l, who is 2 warm friend of his. MT. Marvin is a Yale graduate and was at one time connected with the Hopkins Grammar school. He bears an excellent reputation as dis ciplinarian and has brought the Schen- ectady high school from very low point up to its present standard. In view of his visit of yesterday it is not unlikely that he may be the choice of Superintendent Beede.
