Tbe examimitions oi the classes which were beid duriag tbe "week, showed a good eonditioa of tbgechoola. Wu hare the testinaony of competent gentlemeü vvho attended tbeni, tbat they were condueted with great fakness aad' thoroughness, and showed that tbo discipline and iastruction are of tbe best kiod. StraDgera wbo vrsit oor city almost uüivorsally espress an admiratiou of our beautiful Uüioa School building aud grounds, and the citizens are undoubtedly proud of our schools. They are' liberal, too, in their support. But we would suggest tbat inore of them cali in at Borne couvenieut tiuie and cee the Êchools in their daily workiog. If you can syend but'an hour, visit some one of the schools in which you are ed. Prof. Lawton, the a ble and devoted Superintendent, aud any of the teachers, will be glad to see you. jL3T But little more than a week intervencs Between thia dWf and an important election. We say important, for in thesö days of unusual expenditures and high taxes the Township electious touch a vital cord. Il ever competent, faithful, honegt Township officera were desirable, they are note a necemty. It, therefore, becomes the duty of the peoplo to cast aBout them, and press iuto service tkeir best meo-. Lefc all candidates be eelacted with special refercnce to fitnesiJlhid the time for our Democratie friends to attünd to this ia in the prmary caucuses. And, here we have a aiugle word of advice; if jot now have the best men n office, as Super visors, Cerks, etc, keep them íq office yet another year, regardlesa of any sup posed claims of those who would like te get ia. Oa the other hand, ,if you have ïiüTTisii meu out of office thaa the preseat iocumbents, men more competent to discharge the dudes of office, calí them to your servicu and let the ins go out. A due regard to this single ]fr)ii)t by both parties will give the Towns Supervisors who will faithfu'ly adniinister the various and importaut trusts now devolviog opon thut office, will give them ready and correct Clciks, and will certainly tend to aid honegt, honorable, and at the aamo time economical admiuistration of Townsbip affuir?. L3Ë The bilí to give drafted nieu, substitute3 for drafted uien, aud representativo Bubstitutes, balf the bounty olfered voluuteers failcd to pass tha Seuate. The Legislaturu has uot met the wishes of the people in thia respect. ïhe drafted man who eatern service, or the subst.tute he puts in, oughtjto receive tho same bounty us a volunteer, aud yet the Logislature rcfuses to mitigate the hardships e-f the drafted man by allowing him half the bouuty. All wrong. E3T The Michigan Legisluture seems to be getting as corruptas Cougress, and the members hava btretched the "ueually travelod route" wonderfully.
