One of the most pleasant departments in the Uaiversity in the new order of things is tbat of Professor Sewall. where formerly was the dissecting room, under the dome of the old medical college building. The action of the board of supervisors in not re electing D. B. Greene a member of the board of superintendents of the poor, is meeting with considerable criticisim outside of Ann Arbor. From the Ypsilantian we take the following: "It may be that the board of supervisors have done a wise thing in electing Elias Loomis to succeed D. B. Greene as supeiintendent of the poor, but the probability is hardly a reasonable one. We know little of Loomia, and nothing to his discredit as a man and citizen, but of Mr. Greene we do know something, and we know that he hag performed his duties as superintendent of the poor honestly and carefully, and no charge to the contrary has ever been brought sgainst him. Mr. Greene was defeated because he was a republican and Mr. Loomis was elected principally because he was a democrat, and this was done in spite of an unwritten law, respected during all the past twenty yearg, that both oarties should be represented on the board. It is said, and the statement is not founded on mere rumor, that Duffy, the Ann Arbor postmaster and a democratie ward leader, was most active in securing Mr. Greene's defeat, his purpose being to secure a board that would consent to place a brother-in-law of Duffy's in charge of the coutity hou-e, deposinsr Mr. John S. McDowell aud his wife. It remains to be f een whether or cot M r. Dufify can successfully carry out the remaiuing part of h'8 programme."
