Lansdowne, because at the West Durham Picnic t110 former quoted a recent speech of the Governor in whinh he emphasized the exte,nt of the Domfruon ai1d its sectfonal dilferences, in order to <rive point to his remarks on the power of ~lis allowance. On the contrary, the reference to Gov . Lansd~w11e's speech was higl1ly appropriate. Distasteful thoucrh it may be to the Tories, the Govern~r's utte1·ances fully justified the inference drawn by Mr. Blake, that "if the Local Legislature had ~he right to legislate upoi1 local matters without the impertinent interference of ~he Ottawa authorities, they were able to Judge what was fair and reasonable ~it~out_ the aid of thirteen little gods s1ttmg rn the Pr~vy Council chamber." The Mail thinks it prob1tble tlrnt Governor Lansdowne "may take some measures to prevent a repetition of Mr. Blake's offence." We are not ·It little curious to kno'Y how he will set about it.-Toronto being about forty examiners each' year, and about 4,000 sets of papers examined. As we have stated, he took an 11ctive part in framing the present model school system, and in connection with the present Minister of Education, has from time to time assisted in their inspection. "In one sense we . regret Mr. Tilley's departure from the County, but in view of the promotion he has deservedly received, and the appointment of Mr. W. E. 'l'illey, M.A., as his successor, we must congratu· late him on his preferment, and trust that the educational interests of this County progress with the times under the new "' ills peetor. The · following resolution was unanimously. passed by the Counties' Council : 'l'he special committee appointed to consider the resignation of J. J. Tilley, Esq., who for the past sixteen years has been an appointee of the Council, as Inspector of Schools for the County of Durham, wish to bear testimony to the great satisfaction h e has given in that capacity, and also to the energy and zeal ever displayed by him in the general interests of education ; and now that he leaves· us to assume a higher positiou, as Inspector of Model Schools, we nope and believe that he will carry with him i11to his new sphere the same energy and earnestness which he.has eve1'-disp.!:ayed; a,nd in leaving the County we desire to say' that he carries with him the respect aml esteem of every member of the Council of the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham.
