Froma letter written by Prof. Wentworth to 3Mr. J. A. Budlong the following facts In reznid to the Cook County Normal School are ascertained: Since the vrganization. 7€0 pnpils have attended the school; of this numte 7 have become teach- ers; 110 are now on the roll of the schaol; twenty- four graduated the beginning of this month: 269 have left the echool from various causes, before graduating: seventy of the 700 have paid tuition. The whole amount of tuition fees received up to June, 1876, was $1,510. 70, About two-thizds of the tuition pupils remain and feach in the connty. The rate charged is 30 per year per scholar. ‘The whole number of “raduates up to.June, 1876, is 198, of whom 101 Bave tanght i Cook’ Couniy. ~Five of the class swhich araduated this month are now teaching. Including the twenty-four which graduated this month, there are duates {rom this echoal. More than onc-third of all the teachers in the connty (the city excepted) bave been Normal stadents. About fifteen of the county Normal students are teachers in the city. The reason why there are not more in the city I8 becanse the yradu- ates find ready employment at better salaries than arc offercd in the city, and undergraduates are sel- dom qualificd. The appropriation for the sapport of the Cook County Nurmal School, which was at fiest. $3.000, hes yraduaily_inereased till last year—1875 and 1876—it was $15,000. The average number at- tending the school tlfe first year was forty-ones the average attendance in all the departments for 1875 and 1876 wax 270.

Bepublican and Democratic Candidates : for City Offices. ° Meetings in the Wards---A Democratic * Rowin the Seventecnth. The caldron in which_the Jocal politicians are cooking their geese was in quite a simmer yester- “day. 1t is strange to see how frantically the Demo- crats are working, and how sadly sundered are their ranks. Thercare now three factions—led by Doo- little, Colvin, and Perry IL. Smith. The latter has the support of the better clags of the party, and his friends are making a tofersbly fair and open fight. The fricnds of Colvin arc on the still hunt, and claim that no power on carth can prevent his nomination by tho Democratic Convention. Asto Doolittle, Jr., he is tabooed and decried. They eay that he is playing a donble- dealing game, working ostensivly for the Mayoral- ty, when he s really flahing for the nomination for City Attorney. The gentlemen at headquarters in the United States Express Building yesterdsy had but little to say in regard to the meeting Thunsday evening at the Sherman House, except that it was in behalf of Doolittle, and proved s« eignal failure. John Mattocks merely laughed it off. CITY OFFICES. The aspirants for the City Attorneyship are William Law, Tom Coffee,and — Cameron. The latter is totally tabooed, and as to Tom Coffce. he hasa very seedy and peculinr following. Clinton Briggs and Tom Brenan are thus far the only can- didates for Treasurer, and J. K. (. Forrest's friends are working hard to get him the City Clerk nomination. The Republicans are doing things more auictly. Mr. leatl's fricnds think tha he Is surc of the nomination in Convention. while Mr. Wright's are even morc sanguine. These are the only two Republican Muyoralty candi- dates in the field, and the fght between them is watched with interest. The 1lickey matter and the sign ordinance are brought in as by-plays, and out of them a good deal of par. tisan capital is made. IHowever, cach candidate’s. friends speak well of the other, and there isno bitter feeling in the contest, each seemingly ready to ea pport the other if he is nominated. For City Attorncy no real opposition has yet ap- peared to the prescnt incumbent, Mr. Tuthill. The Treasurership somehow has found few candidates. Among those who have been mentioned are Jesse Spalding, Ald. McCrea, and Henry J. Willing. None of thesc gentiomen have authiorized the use of their names, but their friends believe that for this position none but A 1 men should be nominated. Caspar Butz will probably find no opposition to his_renomination, asno candidate bas as yet ap- pearcd against him. IN TOWN MATTERS In the South Town, things arc_quiet. since Measte. Lincoln and Carver hove declined to run again, therc s much casting about, and the slate-makers are at sea. The "North and West Towne, from present indications, are likely to come out all right, as the veople are taking a lively Interest in the matter, and will contipue to do so until after the election. TENTIL WARD. The Democratic Club of the Tenth Ward held a dreary meeting at No. 170 North Halsted jstreet last cvening 1o take some steps looking foward nominating o candidate for Alderman. James Walsh was in the chair. The Chair reported, according to instructions from a former mecting, the following commuitee fo co-operate with a similar committee from the Ger- man-American Clubof the ward to nominatea can- didate for Alderman: . Mullin, James Harris, Ole Paulsen, James Burise, Thomas Lantry, Mat Calfer, A. DB. Johnson, John Hanegan, M. Ford, James Dwyer, John Croak, John Connell, Bryan Madden, J. F. Kelly, John Keefle, Micbucl McXNurney. P. Caraher, Thoines Johnson, A. C. Story, Michael -Rigney, John Nolan, and James Ulaugh. The reoort was adopted. Mr. Dwyer introduced o series of resolutions, which were adopted, deprecating any divivion of the party, and calling on the Committee named above to stand by the nomince of the party, who- ever he may be. Some speeches followed, and the meeting ad- Jjourned. FOURTEENTH WARD. The YoungDemocracy of the Fourtcenth Ward held 2 meeting at No. 513 Miliwaakee avenue last even- ing, to form 3 ward organization. There are now several precinct clubs, and a head was needed fo that there would be harmony in the work. About fity were present. Mr. Shauley asked if there was a distinction between the Younz Democracy and the regular Democracy. Did they intend to act independent- 1y_of the Connty Ceniral Committect Mr. Labuy replied that, though called *Vyoung,” all, old ny well as yourg, could be-* long. Pheir object wilk to hdve ninety-four clube, — Gne in each precinct,s-since it was thought that more cflective work ‘could be done with that number_than with _eighteen, one for each ward, a3 had heretofore been organized. They wonld act under the Central Committee, gnd be govern- “ed by them. Afier some talk, no_one apparently kuowing what was necessary to do, a Committec of Seven was appoiuted 1o nominate permanent officers of the ward club. ‘They reported as follows: President, AL C. Fraley; Vice-President, M. A. La Buy; Treasurer, Anton Ditmar; Secrctary, Charles Gastleld. Those named were clected without. opposition, and returned thanks for the honor. . The constitution uscd last fall by the Hen- dricks Club was adopted. Mr. La Buy offered the following: Resnired, That it is the dealre of thts Club to nomi- nate a candidate for Alderman through the voice of the people of the Fourieenth Ward, Resoired, That the fudges of the primary election shall be provided with separate billot-boxcs, wherein Aliall be deposited the votes for candidates for Alder- man, Reiolted, That each candidate shall be entitled to ‘place one representative ot ¢ach ballot-box, Resolred, ‘That, after thie clmlnr of the primarics, %n Judges shll ect at No. 515 Mliwaukee avenuc, ‘sbd declare the resuit of she clecslon. Objection was madc, because the putting of 8 box and a man at each yoll would entail too much cspense upon the candidages for Alderman. Mr. Norton advocated”khe opening of a poll in the central part 8f the ward, where ail conld go and vote for Alderman, ‘I'he resolutions were laid on the table for a weck. After some growling about the apportionment of dclogates,—the Sixth_Precinct beinz allowed only onc,—jndges were elected, and the meeting nd- journed. SEVENTEENTII WARD. The Seventeenth Ward'Domocrats met last night at the corner of Ontario and Market streets to hear the report of o committee appointed Thursday night to select names of fitting candidates for the ofiicc of Alderman. Notwithstandinz that all the Democrats und Democratic Clubs of the ward had heen invited to be present under the understanding that a candidate upon whom all could unite was to he xelected, the delewations from the Clubs ather than that which usnaily mects at the corner of On- tario and Murket streels, althouzh present, were treated withont the slizhiést dearce of considern- tion.and were not allowed to confer with the Com- mittee upon the sclection of # desirable man. This gave rise to confusion worse confounded, and the mecting was in, a disgraceful and annoying uproar.” The Committee reported the names of Patrick Tierncy, homas Cuarney, Patrick 0*Malley, Thomax Cannon, dohn . Walsh, Jamey Lyman, Michac] fiaynes, and Andrew Sorcnson. Jix-Alderman Carney announced that 'Tom Cannon wasd rencaade Repnblican. and shonld not be clected by Democratic hallots. Neither shonld his name be presented to o weeting of Democratic voters. lie moved that the list of names be re- committed to the Committce, with instractions that they strike off Cannons name.

The majority of the Commitiee were op posed to Canuon. and their report wus accepted.

THE DEAF. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, March 16.— was much _pleased to see the letter from ** A Friend of the Deaf™ in your jusue of the 1th, calling attention to the articula- tion method of teaching the deal. If the parents of deaf children would only take the troubie to in- quire for themselves a8 10 the best methods of in- struction, thore is no donbt but that they would Insist upon articnlation Feing tanght, and that only in the new school for the teaf. The word deaf-mute s _only properly applicd to those whose organs of speech as well® as those of hearlng are siected, for a denf person fs not mute. 1le makes all the sounds that a hearing person docs. and only needs skillful trainiug to make the sounds in the arbitrary manner which is called speech. Teachers by the xign languaxe argue that signs re the natural mode of expressing onc's thoughts, but they are not natural; on the con- trary, arc as nnnatural as deafnees itself, and only the dire necessity of the untaught deaf person ever makes him uee them. Azain, It {s urged that only very bright children can be taught to speak, but that is mot trne, as hus been clearly roven in the_public day-school in Boston. n the State Normal School - at_ Northamp- ton, Mass., ond in the **Institution for the Improved Instruction of the Deaf " in New Yark City, where articulation alone is nsed. and where they admit all_pupils of ordinary ability from all grades of society and from all nationali- ties. There are also many sach schools in England, Germany, and_Austria. No signs_arc uscd, and most of the teachers themeelves do not understand the sign Ianguage. By this 1 ncan, of course, the arbltrary sigos taught the ouplsat institutlons, and aa fast as the child knows the writien word, no sign whatever is allowed. Thus the child is actu- 2y foreed (o speak. T have scen children 8 yeara of nze in the Loston _school who could speak dis- tinctly, and who could read from a primer in the same manner_that a hearing child docs, without making a motion. When a pupil i thoroughly trainea it, of course, places him at once jn conminication with his fel low-beings. Those who can communicate by signs only are cut off from communication-with any who are not trained in the like manner, for these eigns are utteriy unintellizible 1o the uninitiated. ~Of courwe, it takes more time to teach a child to speak than to make signs, but who wil not think it time well spent? ~And it caases no delay in the chil's genersl cducation, for ~this is_ carried on through written ~languaze, and it s amazing to sce the quickness nd eagerness of the children to Jearn to read. And after all, articulation and_lip-reading are very simple. skill in detecting the elements of soind, but sizns. must be prohibited just as fast as the child carr se- cure a substitute, Therefore, it is a great mistake to try to combing the methods. That is the worst plan of all, for since it is easier to make sians at Hrst, than fo speak, it is hard to_cradicate them afterward, just us in teaching music: if the child is atlowed fo caltivate the faults, which are easiest in the beginning, it becomes almost_impossible_to correct those faults when once confirmed. Will uot the parents of the deaf in Chicagolook into the futurc o little, when their little ones shall have 2rown to be men and woman, and their sons wish o enter business, znd ask themselves if they will not then wish they had given thelr aficted” chil- dren every advantage in thelr reacht 1nm amazed Lo find how ignorant and-indifferent in regard to the improvements in the methoas of instrucgipn are the parents whom I have met. Therds already une rstitution in Iilinoie, Let us nowhave aduy school, tanzht by articulation only. Miss Traek und her assistants have heen doing o noble duly i Jacksonville, and at all the institutions in this country they are emplosing articulation teuchers as u branch, but I wish’ the new Chicago school, might be somethiug even bet- ter. 1 have visited with pleasure the little day-school for articulation teaching, lately opened in Memo- rial Chapel, on Indigna avenue, mear Thirtieth strect, and I wish pevple would take interest cnough. to watch its progeress from the beginning, PARENT OF A DEAF CmiLp.

L. Mognis HOW HE GOT THERE. To the Editor of The Tribunc. Citicaco, March 16. —An article In your paper of Thursday morning on the Sullivan trial spoke of the jusyman Karnik, who was onec of the twelve men who agreed on a verdict of acquittal, as being in the Cook Connty Jail only a short time agoasa thief, and that at the time he was summoned on the jury he was a loafer, and a regular hanger-on at Pat O'Brien's saloon, and further inquiring who was the Hailif in the Criminal Conrt that_summoned the eald Karnik. It s no more thmm just and right that the people of thie connty thouid know who he wae. Everybody Kuows Pat 0'Brien was doing his level best in ctting Sullivan acquitted, and onr citizens should [ow what maneuvering was done in order to zet thisman on the jury. I would sugzest that Sherill Kern be Interviewed at once by oue of yonr re- porters, who will give his answer relative to the whole matter—how the jury was sclected, and by whatBailifls: Mr. Kern ina square, truthfal man, and no doavt wiil cheerfully give the facts in the case, and, as 1 said before, It is duoe to the pesple of this county that they should know how such disreputzble scampd are placed upon a jury of somuch importance as that in the Sullivau trial.

Critcaco, March 10.—Rocently sppeals from that class of men who work on contracts let by the city have opened up a grievance of sucha character that 1 request space in Tiie TwnoNE to call the atten- tion of the proper parties to it. It is one of the monstrosities of Democratic origin which reform administration hus not yet choked off. 1t secms it was the practice of the old Board of Pablic Works tu Jet small contracts to the lowest bidder, resery- ing no protection for the pey of the workman, and o pay the contract Drice o the contractor un the completion of the work, thereby placing the laborer entirely at his merey.” ‘'his rule puts the city in The atiitade of a conspirator, conniving, aiding, and abetting to defraud Iaborers of their pav; for in ome instunces that ave been shown me, the. contractor puckuted his mone; and sloped froni the city? leaving the Jabor unpaid. Now this is all wrong, and { submit that Mayor Heath—who is an honest man—and the Council can remedy the mat- ter by makingthe contructors’ bond security for the' Izborers' payas well as the exccution of the con- tract. . Respoctfally, Anrtaon Hexwy, THE NOPPER PLAGUE. 7o the Editor of The Tribune. Cuicaco, March 14.—The people of those gec- tions of country atllicted with the **hopper plague’ are n doubt as to the business in which they can engage with a prospect of securing a fair compen- sation for their labor and inveatments. If this plague is to continue, farmers should turn thefr at- tention to such crops as are mot atfected by the grasshopper. 1t is sald that the prairle grase and the corn crop are largely excmpt from their rav- ages.
