The Dissenters and Education.

It is becoming obvious that a large propor-
tion at least of the Nonconformists are not disposed
to accept the Government amendments to the Edu-
cation Bill. The Congregational Union of Surrey has
declared that no schools created by school boards
should be of a denominational character, and that from
such schools denominational formularies and teach-
ing should be excluded. Religion should not be
excluded from education, but the Government should
not interfere with it.
Church Schools in Wales.

A. couple of letters, on the subject of Church
Education in Wales, have passed between the Bishop
of Llandaff and Mr. E. M. Richards, M.P. It appears
that in some mining districts in Sou-th Wales the
inhabitants are taxed for school purposes in the shape
of a deduction from wages to meet the employers'
contributions to schools. Mr. Richards thinks this
practice—for the schools thus supported are generally
Church schools, wi ereas the inhabitants are mostly
Dissenters—exceedingly objectionable. He quotes
the report of a Government inspector to prove that
great discontent prevails among the people
employed. "In several of them the workmen
submit, as they are obliged to do, to the deduction
of the poundage, but send their children to other
schools, and pay the usual fee for them there. Nay,
in some instances they have done more than this—
they, have built schools at their own expense." The
Bishop of Llandaff does not deny that the grievance
exists; but holds that the objection ofthe parents has
been much exaggerated. " I believe that the chief
object of the parents is to send their children to the
best school, and that the majority of the working
classes in South Wales belonginc, to Dissenting
denominations, whether in the agricultural or mining
districts, if left to their own unbiassed action, would
trouble themselves very little about any other con-
sideration." This may be correct enough, but it is
hardly a justification for taxing Dissenting work-
people to maintain Church schools.

THE C LPITAL QTJESTI.ON:

We publish herewith a western call for a Convention to
meet next October at Cincinnati, to consider the location
of the capital of the United States. The invitation is
very broad, and we trust it will be widely accepted. Con-
gress is now pressed to authorise novel expenditures, for
objects nowise pressing, at our present seat of government;
and these expenditures, if justifiable at all, must assume
that Washington City is the permanent capital of the
United States. If this be so—if the stupendous acquisi-
tions, and discoveries, and upturnings, of the last seventy
years, haVe left Washington incontestibly the point at
which Congress should sit, and the Executive transact the
diplomatic business of the nation, then let the people, by
some direct and emphatic declaration, so proclaim it. If
it be not so—if the American people, for reasons satisfac-
tory to themselves, prefer a different location for their
capital—then it is high time the fact were ascertained
and respected. The question has been raised ' • it
ought to be fully considered and decisively adjudicated.
It is not well that million after million be spent in en-
larging public grounds and multiplying public edifices
destined to be abandoned ; nor is it right that such ex-
penditures should be incurred in order to strengthen the
argument against relocation based on the vast amounts
of public money expended on the present Capital. Let
us first decide that the Capital is or is not to remain where
it is ; then act in conformity to our knowledge. And,
now that our Westward march has been arrested by the
Pacific, while our Southern boundary seems permanently
traced by the Rio Grande and the Gila, it seems fit that
the Federal metropolis shall be placed where it is to
remain, or that it shall be conclusively located where it
now is.

We respectfully suggest that Congress authorise the
President to select an able Commission to survey the
whole field, and report what action would most conduce
to the national well-being.—New York Tribune.

MARK-LANE.

The refreshing showers which have fallen in most parts
of the country during the past few days have greatly en-
hanced the aspect of agricultural affairs, and has assisted
in checking the upward movement in the value of most
kinds of produce. The supply of English wheat has been
short. The trade has been quiet, but prices have been main-
tained. With foreign wheat the market has been moderately
supplied. Inquiry has been limited, but at full prices.
The supply of barley has been moderate. The trade has
been firm at steady rates. Malt has been quiet, on former
terms. Oats, the show of which has been limited, have
been in request at quite late rates. Beans and peas have
been steady. Flour has been quiet at previous quotations.

CONSUL CAMERON.

A single line, says the Telegraph, records the death of a
man who had the honour of plunging England into a war
which cost her nine millions, and a King his life. On Tues-
day last Captain Cameron, formerly English Consul at
Massouith, died at Geneva. Although he could lay claim to
no personal distinction, Mr. Cameron will live in history
as the chief agent in bringing about the Abyssinian war.
We need not now discuss the question how far he exceeded
bii powers as a Consul, and how far he was responsible
for what followed. If Consul Cameron erred, he also
suffered. .Requiescat in pace. But his death once more
directs attention to the immense power for mischief
yielded by the petty officials of England in foreign lands,
and especially in countries which are half civilised,
like China, or uncivilised, like Abyssinia,. Some
discretionary power they must receive ; and yet by the
exercise of that power they may stir up troubles from
which we can extricate ourselves only by means of an
armed force. Moreover, the expense of war is increasing
in something like a geometrical ratio. Half a century
ago much might have been done to carry on a great
European contest by the aid of the millions which we had
to pay for so miserable a little war as that of Abyssinia.
The duty of limiting the discretionary power of our foreign
representatives is, therefore, every day becoming more
serious ; and, fortunately, science has given us the means
of bringing them more immediately under the supervision
of the Foreign-office. The
.electric telegraph is enabling
our Ministers and Consuls abroad to seek instruc-
tions from bead-quarters before taking any irrevocable
course. When the remotest parts of the earth shall, in
point of time, be only a few minutes from Down-
ing-street, the reign of the Consuls will have come to an
end, and one main guarantee will be secured against the
necessity for Abyssinian campaigns.

RATES AND RELIGION.

At an an agricultural meeting in Somersetshire Arch-
deacon Denison expressed his belief that there was am
end of religious teaching with the introduction of the rate
system. He said :—" If once you establish an education
rate in this country it is as demonstrable as any proposi-
tion in Euclid, you cannot have any school which shall
have any religious education in it at all. Directly you
have established a rate at all, you must have
a body of managers of all people who contribute to
the rate. They will try for a time to
arrange the religious difficulties, which they will
certainly find to be impossible ; and then they will say,
' Well, we will cut them up 137 having no religion at all ! '
That is what you must come to if you have an education rate,
This is one of the things with which it is very kindly
proposed to saddle us. For my part, if I am compelled
by law to pay an education rate, I must pay it. I don't
mean to go to prison. The inevitable consequence will be,
I shall withdraw from the support of schools every six-
pence I now contrjbute as a voluntary subscriber, which
would amount to at least five times £he utmost rate I
could be made to pay."

DEATH OF CONSUL CAMERON.

Captain Charles Duncan Cameron, F.R. G.S., formerly
British Consul in Abyesinia, and whose imprisonment by
King Theodore was the prime cause of the Abyssinian,
war, died at Geneva on Monday last. Captain Cameron
entered the army in 1846, serving as ensign in the 45th
Regiment. From 1846 to the end of 1847 he was engaged
with the Irregulars in the Kaffir war for which he
received the Kaffir war medal, and he served again
through the Kaffir war of 1852-3. In the Russian war he
served under Sir William Fenwick Williams, of Kars. On
the death of Mr. Plowden, in 1860, he was appointed
Consul in Abyssinia, to reside at Massowah, where he
arrived in January, 1862, in which year he attended the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg on his expedition to the interior
of that country. On the Bth May of that year he left
Massowah for Gondar, bearing presents and a letter
from the Queen to King Theodore. He arrived at Gondar
on June 23rd, and was favourably received by the King.
But in 1864 he met with the King's displeasure, and was
imprisoned from January 2nd to April 17th, when he was
given over to Mr. Rassam, who had been sent out
on a special mission for the purpose of obtaining his re-
lease. In the following July, however, he was again im-
prisoned by the King, this time having for fellow pri-
soners Mr. Rassam, Lieutenant Prideaux, and Dr.
Blanc, of the Indian Army, and a number of
other Europeans who were resident in the country.
The story of their release by Theodore, after two years'
captivity, on Lord Napier's appearance before Magdala
(April 11, 1868), is too recent to need recapitulation.
Captain Cameron, on his release, returned home, where
he arrived in July, 1868, broken down in constitution by
the sufferings he had undergone.

ANOTHER FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.
At noon yesterday a boiler explosion occurred at the
sawmills of Mr. Amos Roe, Worcester Wharf, Birming-
ham, by which two men lost their lives. The boiler was
of the kind known as Cornish. It was 20ft. long and Gft.
in diameter. Mr. Roe, the proprietor, and a friend had
just passed out of the boiler-room, when a noise resemb-
ling thunder was heard, and the gentlemen were buried
in debris. On search being made the engineer (William
Cowley), the foreman (Henry Alexander), and a boy,
named George Cook, were found lying in different parts
of the room. The former two, both dreadfully scalded,
were removed to the Queen's Hospital, and they there
expired in a short time. Cook was taken home. Mr.
Roe and his friend escaped with slight bruises. Cowley
and Alexander eaoh leave a widow and family of four or
five children. About fifty men have been thrown out of
employment. The chimney stack was shattered, the place
took fire, and a large quantity of timber narrowly escaped
destruction. The damage done to other property is con-
siderable.

The Great Race.

The defeat of a favourite (favourites do not often
win), is such a common event that little notice is
usually given it ; but the overthrow of Macgregor
seems to have produced a deep impression. It was an
extraordinary occurrence. First Kingcratt, the
favourite for the Two Thousand, was easily
beaten in that race by Macgregor; and then
Macgregor, the chosen one for the Derby,
was overthrown with equal ease by Kingcraft. The
unhappy seers are quite melancholy. They know
not where to put their trust, and they prophesy with
a heavy heart. The non-sporting journals moralise
in a severe vein. The Telegraph thinks the race of
Wednesday is indicative of decay in the great na-
tional sport. "A worse horse than Muster probably
never got a place in Epsom's great contest; and
so small a field has only once before started within
the last twenty-five years. But, in addition,
the numbers assembled at Epsom exhibited a marked
decline, and the result of the race is calculated to put
reasonable men out of conceit with Turf certain-
ties." The' Telegraph hopes that the unplaced Mac-
gregor will cause some few who are not inextricably
entangled to pause and ask themselves whether the
pursuit of horse-racing, though it may reasonably be
upheld as a diversion,is worthy to be made the business
of a life. The 'limes is bitterly sarcastic on the people
who rush up to London and to Epsom to see little or
nothing of the race they came expressly to see.
" What can be more frantic than to pursue some-
thing of which the only pleasure is in the prospect,
of which the fruition is disappointment, and of which
in countless cases the retrospect is regret ? " Alto-
gether the usual bombastic talk about this glorious
holiday is, conspicuous by its absence.

A correspondent of the Times writes that in the Country
Journal, or Craftsman, of April 16, 1737, our ancestors were
assured that " Leicester-fields were going to be fitted up in
a ♦ery elegant manner, with a new stone wall and railings
and a basin in the middle," adding, it would have been
gratifying to have received a similar intimation in the House
of Commons on Monday night, even though a " basin" were
to take the place of a once regal monument. The equestrian
statue in Leicester-square came originally from the Duke of
Chandos's house at Canons, and was erected in its present
position in the beginning of the century. It is now, in-
deed, an unsightly and dishonoured fragment, but it may be
consoling to some of your Protestant readers to know that
instead of representing the illustrious William 111., as your
excellent article of to-day implies, this "clod and module of
confounded royalty" was originaily intended for plain and
simple George I. The intelligent foreigner, however, who
is interested in our strange ways of honouring Britain's
greatness may turn his steps into St. James's-square,
where, if the trees will allow him, he will see a fine
equestrian statue of "Dutch William" by the masterly hand
of Bacon.

THE GKEEK PROTECTORATE.

The Times considers there is nothing in the constitu-
tional system of Greece which makes it impossible for
England and the other Protecting Powers to exercise a
real supervision, until brigandage be really blotted
out. It is difficult to see what argulnent any poli-
tician, Greek or other, can advance against our moral
right to do this. On any other understanding the Pro-
tectorate is a scandal, and ought to be relinquished.
Protection does not merely mean that the existence of the
State is guaranteed against an attack of Turkey ; its obli-
gations, and consequently its rights, extend as well to
serious internal dangers with which the Sovereign's Go-
vernment appears unfit to deal. If there were a native
pretender to the throne, or if a province were in a state of
chronic insurrection, no one would deny the right of the
Protecting Powers to interfere as well as advise, though
the form of their interference might be a fit subject of
negotiation with the King's Government, Now, there is
a general consent that brigandage has reached such
a point in Greece of late years, and has so generally
infected the body politic, that not even the best
disposed Ministry is able to deal with it. The Greeks
would bless the day when the Great Powers insisted on
the installation of Ministers who would dare to make war
on the most deadly enemies of the State; and when they
gave the King's Government such active and continuous
support as would enable it to carry out its new policy.

FIGHTING FOR THE SPOILS.

The political situation in Trenton continues to excite
the indignation of the citizens who are without legislative
advantages. while the present order of things lasts. The
Charter election, held in April last, resulted in a tie in the
Common Council, owin., to a tie vote for Councilman in
the Seventh Ward. At° the first meeting of the Council,
after the election, the Republicans demanded an equal
division of she offices to be filled, and the other patronage
of the City Government. The Democrats were reluctant
to accord this, and demanded a special election for Coun-
cilman from the Seventh Ward before any other business
should be attended to. The Seventh Ward is strongly
Democratic, and the tie was the result of certain
local disaffection. The Republicans refused to order a
new election, on the ground that no business transaction
by the body before organisation would be valid, and they
refused to organise without an equal division of the spoils.
So, with the refusal of the Democrats to organise upon
the plan proposed by the Republican members, the matter
stands at present. Meantime, all the old city officers, in-
cluding police, are continuing to do the duties of their
positions ; but since the Republicans positively declare
that they will not, under any circumstances, order the
payment of their salaries, the City Government promises
to be carried on quite economically.. The next regular
meeting of the Common Council will be held on the first
Tuesday in June, but from present appearances it is very
likely that no compromise will be effected. The Democrats
threaten to appeal to the Supreme Court, which meets in
June, for a mandamus to compel the council to order a
special election for the seventh Ward, but as the council.
has not been legally organized there would seem to be no
one upon whom a mandamus could be served.

The Fenians in London.

Taere is no doubt that the Government is in posses-
sion of unpleasant information with regard to
the operation of the London Fenians. The
seizures of arms, and the arrival in the city
of men, whose faces have ere this become
familiar as sympathisers, at least, with
the conspiracy, have considerably tended to confirm
private reports tendered from sources always at the
command of Colonel Henderson. Within the past
week the police at the railway stations and other
places of arrival have been unusually numerous
and vigilant. Yesterday morning the suspected
Fenians in custody were escorted by a
convoy of mounted constables, armed with cutlasses,
to the police-court. The streets leading to the
House of Detention are also watched by more grave
and silent police than for months past. The
most alarming intelligence, however, of pre-
cautionary meaures is rt)ported from Wool-
wich. There extra guards have been placed
in charge of all buildings, arms, powder, &c., that
may be exposed to attack, and boats, containing
crews of Thames police, armed with revolvers, have
been ordered to cruise about day and night on the
river, in front of the Royal Arsenal, in preparation
for any emergency.

THE BITER BITTEN.

NEW YORK, May
A German, named Peter Kaiser, living in Palisade
Avenue, Yonkers,Westchester county, obtained a warrant
not many days since, in which he charged a fell°s°:
countryman, Henry Fleck, proprietor of a boarding-11°115"
in Jefferson-street, with having, on April 9th, while tea
tifying in a civil suit before Justice Donohue, committl
perjury in regard to some moneyalleged to have been paid
by Fleck to the complainant. Yesterday morning, ant
before Fleck had been arrested, he swore out a warrt%
charging Kaiser with wilful and corrupt perjury ill
affirmation relative to a like charge in the warrant obtained
by the latter. Roundsman Austin, in whose hands the
documents indicated were placed, secured both parties,
and locked them np. In the afternoon Fleck had an
urination before Police-Justice Baird, when it was elici„tfin
that Kaiser had agreed to sell the defendant some 4v-
cords of wood, and had receipted for 150 dollars paid ilifa
by Fleck to bind the contract, which receipt was offer
in evidence. All this had been denied by Kaiser in hi
affidavit charging the other with perjury. A number o
lawyers and a justice of the peace were called by the
defence, each testifying that Kaiser was not to be beliee,
under oath. Both parties were represented by couns'
and, after a patient hearing of the case, the court (31!"
charged Fleck and held Kaiser without privilege of ball'
on a charge of wilful perjury.

RIGHTS OF WOMEN.

One of the topics discussed at the commencement of the
Columbia College Law. School, recently, was " the Legal
Status of Women." The sneaker failed perhaps to treat
the subject with that clearness of statement and distinct
array of hard facto which the Tribune brought to bear
upon it some time ago—that indeed was hardly to be ex-
pected—but he did call attention to some peculiarities in
the legal privileges of the sex which, we regret to say,
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Henry B. Stanton are not in the
habit of treating with that engaging frankness
which so well becomes them in other matters.
In many of the States, and especially in the
State of New York, the legal condition of woman
is far better than that of man. If she is single she enjoys
all the rights of property which belong to the other sex.
If she is married she may spend her husband's money, but
he may not spend hers. She may hold, control, and
devise property independently of him. She may sell her
real estate without his consent, but he cannot sell his
without her consent. He is liable for her debts,
but she is not liable for his. If he has money the law will
compel him to share it with her. If she has money and
he has none he may starve and the law will not interfere.
In point of fact the statutes shew marked favouritism to
women, and if men and women were not as a rule a great
deal better than the laws that are made for their govern-
ment, we should call the case of the men an outrageously
hard one.—New York Tribune.

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT CELEBRATION.

BALTIMORE, May 19.
The coloured citizens of Baltimore celebrated the ratifi-
cation of 15th Amendment by a grand procession and
other suitable demonstrations. The number in the pro-
cession is variously estimated at from 8,000 to 12,000. In
the front carriage of the procession were seated the
Hons. Horace Maynard and William B. Stokes of
Tennessee, and General H. Heath of New-Mexico.
Frederick Douglass was in the second carriage. Most of
the Government officials of the city, the collector, Post-
master, surveyor, naval officer, and internal revenue
officers, were in the line. Among the more prominent
civilians were C. C. Fulton, Esq., and the Hon. W. J.
Albert. Military, civic, and benevolent organisations,
and the different trades and clubs were represented.
Among the military represented were the Butler Zouaves
and the Boys in Blue, the Pioneer Corps of Washington,
representatives from Excelsior Brigade of Philadelphia,
and large delegations representing orgagisations from
various parts of the State. A number of portraits of dis-
tinguished men were borne by the different delegations,
including that of Henry Winter Davis, with the motto
" The iron hand that held Maryland to her allegiance ;"
that of William Lloyd Garrison, with the motto " The
liberator has at last been heard ;" and that of Thaddeus
Stevens, with the motto " Ecce Homo." The most perfect
order and quiet prevailed.

FIGHTING FOR THE SPOILS.

The political situation in Trenton continues to excite
the indignation of the citizens who are without legislative
advantages while the present order of things lasts. The
Charter election, held in April last, resulted in a tie in the
Common Council, owing to a tie vote for Councilman in
the Seventh Ward. At the first meeting of the Council,
after the election, the Republicans demanded an equal
division of she offices to be filled, and the other patronage
of the City Government. The Democrats were reluctant
to accord this, and demanded a special election for Coun-
cilman from the Seventh Ward before any other business
should be attended to. The Seventh Ward is strongly
Democratic, and the tie was the result of certain
local disaffections. The Republicans refused to order a
new election, on the ground that no business transaction
by the body before organisation would be valid, and they
refused to organise without an equal division of the spoils.
So, with the refusal of the Democrats to organise upon
the plan proposed by the Republican members, the matter
stands at present. Meantime, all the old city officers, in-
cluding police, are continuing to do the duties of their
positions ; but since the Republicans positively declare
that they will not, under any- circumstances, order' the
payment of their salaries, the City Government promises
to be carried on quite economically. The next regular
meeting of the Common Council will be held on the first
Tuesday in June, but from present appearances it is very
likely that no compromise will be effected. The Democrats
threaten to appeal to the Supreme Court, which meets in
June, for a mandamus to compel the council to order a
special election for the seventh Ward,' but as the council
has not been legally organized there would seem to be no
one upon whom a mandamus could be served.
