OF Mr.. CLAY, &c.
Washington, Sunday Night.
Mr.. Green has returned from his
mission to St. Domingo. He has re-.
ported himself TO the Secretary Of the
State, and his information was deemed
of SO much importance that cabinc.
meeting was called at once. Il seems
that at Port au Prince Mr.. Green learn.
cd that an arrangement had been mado
between the Spanish part of the island
Of 81. Domingo and the governments Of
Cuba, via: that so soon as the Spanish
government had put down the dis,ur.
bance in Cuba, they we're to send ,roops
at once TO St. Domingo, to assist tho
Spanish race to conquer the whole of
ST. Domingo from the Haytien Emper-
or and his negroes, and make the latter
slaves. This news has startled the cab.
met, and they are at q loss what to do.
The question is, whether the csbine,
will assist the blacks or the Whites
Something must be done in reference to
St. Domingo. Her destiny, under tho
present circumstances, has become Of as
much importance as Cuba.
This is, believe. the cause Of the
great stir in high political quarters.
1t Is expected that there will 10 some

WASHINGTON, June, 8.

to inquire into the expediency Of re,

lected from her citizens as duties on

amendment moved by Mr.. Foote, fix,

posed to Texas at the thirty-fourth
degree Of north latitude also, provid.
ing that nothing in the bill shall be
construed as impairing the rights of
Texas TO all the territory claimed by
her; provided she shall fail to accept
the terms proposed for the settlement
Of her boundaries.

a speech upon it. The Washington cores

hour prevented him from delivering orally -

School Report.

The Annual Report Of the experimenting
School Committee, for the last year. has been
published, and gives pretty full account of
the condition of the public schools in the city.
1t is somewhat longer than that for the pre-
ceding year, and contains many valuable sug-
gestions in reference to improving and elevat-
ing the schools ofthe several grades. 1t should
be carefully read by every one interested in
the education of our youth, and the recon-
mendations of the committee made a subject of
consideration.
From the general tenor of the Report as well
as from its more minute details, we are gratifed
to learn that our public schools are in a sonnd
and fourishing condition. The Teachers ap
pear to have discharged their duties faithfully,
and to the satisfaction of the Committee. The
proficiency of the scholars, and the good order
ahd discipline of the schools generally appear
to have been good.
The recommendation presented for the or
ganzation of an intermediate School, instead
of the Apprentice School, we regard an i'm
portant one, and hope it will be adopted. The
tee is, in part, to relieve the Primary schools
of the larger class of boys now in them, and to
afford a plan for the ingatherng of another
class of boys, who are loafng about the streets,
being unfit to enter the Grammar Schools, and
too large to be in the primaries under female
teacher. We believe the additional appropria-
ton, required for carrying the project forward,
has been made and as maj oritv of the for
mer committee has been reelected, we doubt
not the school will be established.
The whole number OF schools in the city is
fifteen viz. one High School, two Grammar
Schools, Apprentice School, ten Primaries, and
one mixed School in Dis. No. 2. The whole
number Of scholars enrolled during the past
year, is 1867, and the average attendance 1850
The whole number of Teachers employed under
the present arrangement, including assistants,
is twenty four.

THE COMMON School WRITING Book IN FIVE
NUMBERS, BY o. G. Badlam. New York, Collins
6 Brother.
In the preface Of this work, its purpose is
stated to be, to abridge the amount of time, la
Dor and expense, heretofore employed in ac-
quiring this branch of education. The series
consists of five numbers, and have been pre-
pared with special reference to movement of
the ,chole hand in writing, thereby avoiding the
general fault of using the two last fingers as a
fired rest In the first Nos, horizontal and
oblique lines are introduced; bu: they are
gradually dispensed with, as the learner pro-
crosses, and in No. 5, they are wholly omitted.
The aim of the author of this work seems to
have been, to render his system interesting, at
tractivc, and impressive, inasmuch as the learn
or cannot fail to perceive his own errors. and is
at the same TING informed how he may avoid
them. We see not how il is possible for any
one to go through with this course of lessons,
without becoming good penman. The books
are neatly printed or good paper, and are fur
nshed at low rates. We earnestly commend
them to the attention of parents, and those in
tercstedin this branch of elementary education.
GoDEY's LApY's Book is among the missing

Law Reform.

The science of Jurisprudence, which for
many centuries has been comparatively in ssatu
quo, so far as keeping pace with the progress of
the age, we are glad to perceive, is becoming
the subject, in many of our States, of particu-
lar revision. Innovations upon the old Eng
lish common law, which is the basis of our
common law, have ever been looked upon
with distrust, fearing "that many an error, by
such examples, will rush into the State
Now why is it that our laws are to DO con.

things else. of the frailty and imperfection of
humanity: Experience is continually reveal

and change of circumstances, require repeal
or modification. 1t was the opinion Of Mr..
Jefferson that every political constitution should
be revised and amended every Twenty-Five years.
Can the law claim exemption, any more than
forms of government, from the spirit of change
so strikingly characteristic of the present age !:
Over hasty mutation, under preience of re-
formation, we would not be understood as

evil that should be remedied. BUT we would
break down the wall of separation between
law and equity, and blend more than is now
the case, the two jurisdictions into one. The
manifold inconsistent technicalities of the law,
many of which originated in the dark ages, we
are led to believe, are being less stringently in

sound thought and vigorous common sense
