EXCLUSIVE ScHooLs.-We find in the North
Star an able Report Of Committee of the
Board of Education Of the City of Rochester,
in favor of the abolition of Colored Schools,
and permitting colored children to attend the
common schools, from which they have hiih-
erto been excluded. The Star says that the
press of the City, without distinction of par
ty, approves of The report, but that the mea-
sure proposed is liable TO fail on account of
the opposition Of a few ignorant colored peo-
pie and Of the under shata' of the whites.
Boston is the only place in Massachusetts
where an exclusive school exists, and the
Colored People, aided by the opponents of
caste among the whites, are making a strong
effort to abolish the nuisance there.

sail to-day from Norfolk, Virginia, for the
Pacific, with orders to report to Commo-

The Vandalia has been ordered to stop at

some months since from a merchant YES

The sborigines at the Straits are to be held

He has been as far east as Augusta, Maine,

The Wine SCHEME OF WARFARE-The Wing
press, from the Washington Republic down to the
most inconsiderate snapper-up of country trifes,
are seeking to draw off the Democratic journals of
the Union from their vigorous exposure and
saults upon the present imbecile administration
that now reigns at Washington, by preferrng
charges of defalcation upon recent Democratic Off
GERS of government. This they do in the hope Of
engaging the Democratic journals into Of the
defensive and that they may have time to spare
in exposing the tricksters who control the af
fairs of the nation The rrse, however, we hope will
fail. Our contemporaries must not be drawn into
the scheme when there is no necessity of defence.
The miserable falsehoods about defalcations which
Wing journals are now shouting in the ears of the
people, are as false as those which they made
against Ely Moore and Patrick Collins where the
result proved the Wing press but common libeers
OF the fame and reputation of honest men, whom
the present anti proscriptve party have dismissed
from office, and who now, to excuse their acts and
divert attention from the proper issue, must needs
falsely accuse their victims of thefts the public
treasury Gin. Com. Bulletin.
The impudence of the above paragraph
really rises to the sublime. We ventured
few weeks since to suggest that the
statements the Democratic journals were
making in defence of the defaulters sound
ed for all the world like ''Whig lies"-but
we did not imagine that we should so soon
find them denounced as such by those
very journals. The facts in all these
cases of defalcation have come out on the
showing of the friends of the unfortunate
parties; and now they are stigmatized as
transferable falsehoods. - The Locofoco
journalists are beginning to discover that
thew did NOT understand their oun law
and that they have admitted altogether toe
much. They have, in undertaking Their
defence, stated their friends into candi-
dates for penitentiary honors-and, now
that they have been made better acquainted
law, they find no other way of escape
than to denounce their own admissions a,
miserable WIG falsehoods.

When Mr. John VAN buren, announced
at Cleveland the dissolution of the Loco
focos as a national party, he was called to
account by the venerable editor Of the ex-
organ, and upbraided bitterly for his IN
gratitude to the great party which had
heaped such iavors upon his papa. AT the
BarnburRers' convention at Rome, Mr..
VAN BuRrN undertook TO explain what
this dissolution was, and how il took
place, and to consider the probability of a
reunion. A full report Of his speech in
this behalf we find in the Albany .Htias,

After which the convention adjourned
until three O'Clock, and, on the reassem-
bling of the convention, Colonel PIPER, OF

claring that il was ''inexpedient at this
time for this convention TO nominate a can
didate to represent the district in the next

Appointment. and Disappointm.nt..

The Opposition journals continue to howl
like scalded dogs over the removals from
office, as if the twenty millions of Ameri-
can citizens who compose our republic
care fig because five thousand John Does
have been turned out of Offices, and five
thousand John Smiths have been put in
their places. 1t is important for the pro-
per administration of affairs that the few
office-holders should be disposed to unite
cordially in sustaining the Government,
and not conspiring TO thwart its operations.
This the public interests require. Beyond
this all is mere matter of moonshne. In
nine cases out of ten, probably, the Offices
were given by the Locofocos to men who
did not deserve them, and il is probable
that the present Administration will bestow
many appointments on the pushing and
importunate, instead of the well-deserving.
But what does il all amount to- Five thou
sand John Smiths out of Office cannot over
throw the Administration, any more than
FIVE thousand John Does in office can sus-
tain it. The outs can work harder and do
more efficient service than the ms, because
the latter are not expected TO interfere in
elections, and they are aptto lose all interest
in affairs the moment they are comfortably
bestowed themselves. But the American
people did not accomplish the political
revolution of 1S4S because of the Offices;
and so far from sympathizing with the DIS
NAL outcries Of the Opposition over the
few removals that have taken place, they
would be better pleased, we think, with
an universal sweep of the Offices, and
making fresh start, than by any other
course.
The Administration is placed between
two fires in this matter Of appointments.

sue the Cabinet with imprecations for the
use Of the guillotine; while the Who's
attribute all WHIG miscarriages to the
fact that the Cabinet have not done their

that many bitter and odious Locofocos
continue in office to this day, whom no
Wing expected to see survive twenty-four
hours after the appointment Of the heads
of Departments. True enough it is that
this gives great dissatisfaction to many of
our truest and best friends-butt they should
remember that there may be circumstances
which we know nothing about, that would
perhaps satisfactorily account for what now
seems inexplicsble. Our friends must have
patience. For our own part we must con-

Included in the assets is only the per-
sonQl, not the real property of the compa
ny-the mine, the various mills, furnaces,
even the village in which the miners live,
being excluded. The amount of capital
paid in was $4,000 on 5000 shares, and
the company has, therefore, paid more
than one hundred per cent. on its invest
ment; but Of the surplus, $40 share, or
$50, 900, was paid on the Dist of May last,
and the operations Of the present year will
show yet better result, the expenses re-
naming unchanged, while a yet greater
amount of ore has been extracted. Up to
June %, 600 tons Of ore had been shipped,
which, yielding % per cent. less than the
real value, would produce 800 tons Of pure
copper, worth more than $150,000. There
is reason to believe the yield in pure met
al, of this year, will be more than 500
tons--worth 1924, 000-not counting about
four or five thousand dollars worth of sill
yer, the quantity of which was greatly in
creased. During the past year, one bar
rel of the crushed ore yielded $50 worth
of silver.
The number Of persons employed, Of
ficers and men, has been one hundred and
fifty, only ffty-four Of whom are under
ground. Arrangements have, however,
been made to increase this force, if neces-
sary; which probably will be the case, as
biologists represent the supply of ore as
inexhaustible.
Considering these data, one cannot dis
sent with the report of the distinguished
geologist, who stated, at the convention of
the scientific association at Cambridge,
that this was the model mine of America,
