shows that the Legislature, by the laws of 1905,
set apart SO, 900 acres of land, as a permanent
fund, for the encouragement of common schools,
the proceeds Of which, with the annual interest,"
were required to be loaned until the yearly in
come should amount to $5O0)O; and then the

rect. After briefly advocating the general sys-
TEN for the :" encouragement Of schools"
throughout the State, the report concludes, and
urges that ample provision should be made for

of their moral and social duties

NRw YORK COMMON SCuoOLs.-We have re-
ceived the annual report of the Superintendent
of Common Schools, showing the condition of
these institutions throughout the State.
The report goes on to state, that the ffty-nne
organized counties in this State contained on the
first day of July last, nine incorporated cities
divided into sixty-nine wards, and eight hundred
and 6fty-two towns. After noticing the neglect,
or deficiencies, in several of the town superin-
tendents reports, and also referring to the neg.
lect of trustees in this particular, it goes on to
show the actual condition of the schools, at pre-
SENT throughout the State.
1t appears that on the first day of July last,
there were 1852 school districts, duly orga-
nized, in this State-s,24 whole districts, and
5.565 parts of joint districts. From compare
tive statement of the three last years. it appears
that there are only thirty-four more school
houses reported the present year than in 1916,
while the number of whole districts has de.
creased during the same period, to the amount
of l7S, and the parts of joint districts have in
creased to the amount Of 254. Returns were re-
ceved from s,l03 whole districts, and s, 400 parts
of districts, showing that 1873 of the former and
l65 of the latter had not reported in compliance
with the requirements of the law The report
goes on to state, that the penalty for neglectipg
to report according TO the regulations of the de-
partment, subjected the district to an absolute
forfeiture of the public moneys.
The following statement. compiled from the
several abstracts appended 10 the annual re-
ports from the department, for the years 1916,
l847 and 1913, presents tabular view of the
number of districts visited and examined during
the winter and summer school mon,hs-the
number of pupils III attendance at such schools,
at the time of the visltatiOns by the county SUI

in which the pupils were engaged =

DR.. BRANpRETH.- What a singular turn things
have taken! For many years past this celebrat-
ed physician and pill manufacturer paid thou
sands annually TO the newspapers for advertising
his famous vegetable pills, to make the blood
pure, and to clear III intellect. BY singular
"manilest Destiny" we must suppose il TO be,
he, without thinking, put his name one day TO a
democratic call for State convention, and in
consequence of this simple act forty fifty
papers throughout the State of New York have
been showing him up every day, and heralding
his famous pills, and actually advertising for him
gratis. They try to abuse DIR. b.; but the only
effect of it is to advertise him gratuitously. The
doctor must laugh in his sleeve at these respect
able notices, coming from the poet Bryant, and
his colleagues throughout the State. No doubt
the doctor sells FIVE or six times more pills than
he did before. lie laughs and grows fat, and no
wonder.

Their think that the abolition of the Sabbath, at
Washington, at least, requires no further action.

POPULAR MEETINGS IN THE METRoPoLIs.-The
popular meetings in New York, in crisis like
the present, of very great consequence We
are in the beginning of great canvass for the
Presidency, and every mass meeting is big with
results, which strike upon the heart of the coun-
try like double fist of iron. We had popular
meeting few weeks ago, called on the part Of
Mr.. Clay's friends. 1t was large but cold, and
productive of no result to the of that dis
tnguished man. Two meetings are now called
one on Saturday next, by the democrats, in favor
of the " ar; the other on the 22d of next month
by the friends of General Taylor, 10 organize
the movement in his lavor. These meetings are
significant and strong in their consequences.
The great events of antiquity and the current
of civilization, were much influenced by the po-
pular assemblages Of Athens and of Rome The
meetings in the cities of Venice, Florence,
Rome, and other free cities of Southern Europe,
upon the revival Of commerce and letters, were
equally influential upon the course of events in
that age. A popular meeting in this mighty me-
tropolis of the Great West, will have similar
effect upon the opinions of the country at large,
and not of the State of New York only. There
have been no demonstrations of popular outbreak
or assemblage in any part of New York or New
England, as yet, in favor OF Gen. Taylor. The
first of any consequence will be in New York
and it will be test Of the probability of his sue

MONEY AFFAIRs-TRYING TO KICK Up PANIC.
Our amiable contemporary of the Courier E.
Enquirer, after denouncing the Herald'' and
accusing us of "protiigacy," in endeavoring
to create panic, has taken up the same BUSH
ness, and came out at the end of last week with
real panic article, prophesying a general suspen-
sion of banks, land general bankruptcy throughout
the country, if the government, in taking up
loan, insisted upon still retaining the "specie
clause The writer OF the article in question,
we believe, is Mr.. Charles King, gentleman of
some talent in business, and little experience
in newspapers in the olden time, having an init
mate connection with the ne W financial house Of
James CT. King & Co., bankers, in Wall street,
who bid fair to become another Rothschilds.
Prime, Ward Co. having disappeared, like a
mist ofthe morning, they have stepped into their
shoes, and their organ is the Courier e. En-
qurer, and very good organ it lie, only that it
plays little behind the time.
According to the appearance of the money
market in England, and the state of the war in
Mexico, the drain OF specie will be turned to-
wards this country, instead of from it, and we
shall soon be more in danger of initiation
than of a suspension, though one or two months
ago suspension appeared much more probable.
Our amiable contemporary is, therefore, only
one or two months behind the time, and this is a
great deal for him, for he is generally two years

a number Of other members Of the same Society
of Jesus, have arrived by recent vessels from the
Continent During the last six months, we have
had more religious arrivals in this part, of Jesuts
and others, than at any time during many years
past. The Jesuits and others who may be perse-
cuted on account of their religion, either Pro-
testant or Catholic, are right in coming to this
country. Here the air is pure and free and
here they may make as many converts and 60 to
Heaven any road they please, SO the usual tolls
are paid. We love the Jesuits-we admire the
Jesuits-we honor the Jesuits-not for their bad
qualities and evil prOpensities, but for their
learning, their intelligence and their enterprise
in the cause of education. There is no diffe-
renee in one sect from another in this country.
Here ell sects, If peaceable, are tolerated-Sab-
bath and Anti-Sabbath, Fourierite Infidel, Deist,
Materialist, Catholic, Protestant, Jesuit, and
every thing. You can believe or disbelieve in
what you please; but you must act and conduct
yourself according to the laws of the country,
and the principles of common sense.
CHARTER ELEcTIoNs.-It is time that the indie
pendent people of this city, should reflect upon
the best policy, to be pursued in the next char
ter election, SO that reform may be produced
in the government of the city. We have trusted
too long to the politicians of both parties, and
both have cheated and deceived the public. No
city In the civilized world, is worse managed
than ours; no streets are so dirty; no police
efficient; no government, in all its parts, SO ut
terly rotten and corrupt. Is it not possible to
have remedyl Let the independent citizens,
of all sects, and of all cques, who combine their
forces to put in Gen. Taylor and to clear out the
government, see if they cannot also clear out the
present party in power, in the Corporation.
