MrLwAUEEE, April 3.—The only contest that excites public attention is that for the Judgeship of the Circuit Court. Judge Small, tho incum- bent, is a candidate for re-eiection. AMr. Joshus Stark is ranoing in opposition. Both_are_Dem- ocrats. The Sentinel is bicterly opposing Judge Small, and is printing mattér every doy which, ¥ trme, would ° damn any man for- sver, and the News, Judge Small's cham- pion, is performing &' like ofiice for Mr. Stark. - The Irish of the First aud Third Wards are gaid to bo united to & man againat Mr. Stark on account of his share in'the **nig- ger prosecutions * when he was District Attor- ney. The Germans do not sppear £3-care eay- thing—if they have ever heard of iti—for this matter, but they are talking a good deal sbout Mr. Bterk's connection’ with alleged frands. in tho ssle of certain railroad bonds years ago. Thesa are theemain charges revived against Mr. Stark. The. charges sgunst the Jrdge are that he, being. elected on & platform pledging him to reduce the exponditures of the Ccurt, Las been in collusion with the Clesk pay- ing 82 uncarued per diem, to, the extent of imuny thousands of dnllars ; and in support of these charges the Sentingl hos. given dates, names, facts, and figores from the records. On {kis account. the Germans are nos likely to give the dndgo tne support they otherwise would. 1f a third candidate, s respectable Democrat, were to be bronght forward at the last woment, be would probebly pe elected.

It appears that no”one can tonch politics without becoming defiled.

ILLINOIS, HYDE PARK. THE APPROACHING ELECTION. The fact that Tuesdsy is the day for the elec- tion of town officers does mot seem to awaken any startling degree of intorest in the mind of the goneral citizon. Tae fow polit:ctane who regularly and kindly volunteer %o look after the filling of public offices—to save the coantry from going to the dogs, you know—have met and consulted, and the voters have now noth- iog tosdo but go to the polls, thoso of them who have time, accopt one of- the tickets offered, or make up an independent one, and depesit it intbebox. If the People's party—that is, the saloon-keepers’ party, .the free-license party— socceed ia mustering a siiong force, as they doubtless will, and if the majority -of the respectablo men decide the clection not worthy their concern, then Hagh Maher will encceed Mr. Gray. for #o long time au ao- ceptable Assessor, and Mr. Hudson will be Su- parvisor in placo of* Mr. Loug, and for Town Clerk—bu that makes no diffcraaca, Thera has been but ons public mecting, that calied for Monday last st the Hyde Park House by the People's party. The nominations made have already been printed. The meet: ing wes harmonious euough, and with reasop. Everytbing waa prepared in advancs, and only tusse agreeabie to the loaders were in attendance. Guorge W. Waite weain the chair. When somecbody sunounced his namo as candi~ date for so:nething or, otbor, be said with em- hasia that he was s candidate for no ofice in stho gift of tho people. This is partially correot. 1t is underutood thaihe wants to bo Village Ea- glacer, ao officer not dwractly. chosen by tha poople, Bus it is an office, political, snd luera- tive, and easy, for all that. Mr, Waite also made & ahot,speech in regard o the aims of the Peo- ple's purty—to put good men in ofice. Tnat is the mim, of couras; of all pastios, if, plat- forms are, unlike epitaphs, to bs be- lieved: Ib might well bLave been. maid that this People's party mesns reform. It meana $0 reform, for one thing, tho licenso ordinance, and to give again to tho galcon-keepor Lis due. Iv means to do anything, so far as promising goes, that will got 1t 10to power. 2 Ou the other side, while the condition of. things has pot been wfli that of apuily, all is quiet on the surface. The supporiers of the rogular ticket for Tuesday will find that tekob to read: Ausesson—Joseph H. Gray. Collecbr—lamea T. Ely. Sypernir—Engme C. Teog. . Seérb—J. 8, Stic ', or J. S, Scovil, . To place the Peoples’ party ticxet in relief, iv fnay be well to republish it: : Assessor—Hugh Maber., Collector—James T. Ely. Superrisor—Ar, Hudson, Clerk—J. G. Homilton. Justice of the Peace Horn will vic with Ham- ‘ilton for preference. He is not populsr, how- ever. Shoald Hemilton be ran for Vlllfie Clerls, an office requiring some knowledge af¥ ability, the chief objection, nsida from bhis asscciates, would be 28 to his competency for the place, and much scratching would be done, even among the supporters of his ticket. 1vis declared by those who lmow that Creigh- ton will not run for Trustee, he wisely reading the signs of the times'since his name bhasbean pubicly proclaimed.

The Cook Conuty Normal School was estab- lished at Blue Island in 1867, whore it remained until 1869, when it was removed to. Englewood. The School opened with thirty-two pupils, and now numbers inclusive of the Preparatory and Training Departments, 276, snd has steadily im- proved from its commencement, both in num- bers in, attendance, and in'the means for giving iostruction in the pataral sel ences, as thero .aro connected with. o fair supply of physicsl apparatus, the beginning of lsboratories, both chemical and geological, and & fine collectlon of rare snd use- fal specimens of zoology and physiology. For thoss. who emjoy the study of insccts, birds, mammals, fossfs, and skeldtons, tho Hotural history room is well worth & visit. Tho. primary._object of this school is strictly professional, and that all of the graduates may hove .an opporsunity of patting in actual prac- tice the methods of inetruction taught in the Norm3l Depariment, thers is = thoroughly or- gooized Training Department, whero the pupils are requited to tesch from five to twonty days ench year, thus combining the theoretical with tha practical. Bix bundred and twenty-two names have been entolled sinco_the school bezan. Of these 178 have graduated; but not more than one-hslf of those who go out as leachers go s grudoates, many teachers attending for ons to two terms to vleara methods of teaching only, sod go toteach- ing again. _About forty of the 150 attending reside i the city, and go out snd 1w every dnf. and zbout twenty others come on the Rock Island Railroad from Biue Island way, Somo are attending who resids at Austin, and go back snd forth esch day. Such railroad facilities cortainly show that tha school is well located for the accommodation of the county. z The gentlomen appointed by the County Beard of Education to maze the examinstion, which took place Friday, March 26, will soon make their roj when the ability of the teachers and the application of the scholars will be man- fest, The success of this school is partly due to the efforts that have besn made by Mr. Went- worth, the Principal, to furnish the students with chesp board, and_goad table-board can now be obtaived at from $2.25 to $2.50 per week. The_buildings occupied by the students aro wooden structures, sitnated half-n-mile from tho school, and wholly unfit for the purpose, but are used for want of better. Such, in brief, is a description of the Cook County Kormal School, the imstitntion over which thers has been 80 much unpleasantness, which has cost tho county thousaads of dolias, snd which will undoubtsdly cost it many more, Still tho best. is. the cheapest, and poor-Rich- axd's saying applies to sohoo!¥ as well 23 to mer- chandise, and we who desire. that qur children shall spend‘at least o portion of thoir earlior | years lu stndy, also, desire that during that time ihey bave the best of instrucrism, aod it has been satisfactorily demonstrated: that tha best instruction, outsido. of college, can otly be givau by thoso who have prepared themselves by a course of training sud study baving that. endin viow, and this preparation can only be had in Normal Sckoois. —_— WAUKEGAN.

The beau- tifal sunsbive, the singing of tho birds, tne chirping of thefrogsin the ueighboring: slon;_;hs, give life and vigor to every perzon and thing, which the weather of the puat winter almost desdened by its extremg coldness.

There is every indication that thesale will be largely attonded. Mauy predict the result will pass 1nto history as one of the most importaat events in short-horn Rircles ever held in this country. A very ploasant time was enjojed by those in attendaace at i THE SOCIABLE given by the ladies of tha First Daptist Church, attho residence of R. O. Earb, on Thursday avening last. The ari-gallery wis well decorat- ed with worksof art afid other things very at- tractive. The prenfiums were ai that conld be desired.
