ADD ut two o'clod k yesterday af
fternooh VI. Kossuth accompanied by
Gen. Class, called u pom hlr. Clay at
his roc ms at the National Hotel.
The interview was on both sides
very cordial and friendly, and was con-

of which we learn that Mr.. Clay

that We should pursue, as hitherto,

Common School Decisions

The Harrisburg Keystone proposes pub
fishing such decisions o. the Superintend-
ent Of Common Schools, as may be OF gen.
eral interest. The Last number of that
paper contained some of these decisions,
from which we take the following;
The certificate of school teachers must
be renewed annually. The changes in
the dictatorship of the public sch ools,
as well as the propriety Of Improvement
and frequent tests Of capacity, will sug-
gest reasons for these repeated examina-
tions.
Directors may in their discretion require
the schools of their districts to be kept
open every day Of each calendar month";
except Sundays. The most general rule
is to keep them open 26 days per month.
A less number than "a days would nOt be
sanctioned by the Department. Above
that number the length Of time to be
taught within calendar month is at the
discretion of the directors.
The occupation of farmer is not taxa
bic for school purposes. @ e
The correct mode of levyipg school
taxes, is first to "assess upon all offices
and posts of profit, professions, trades and
occupations" except the occupation OF
farmers, "and upon all single freemen
above the age of 81 years who do moi
follow any occupation, any sum %hich the
school directors shall deem proper and
sufficient, not exceeding the amount as
sessed on the same for state and county
purposes, except that tie sum assessed OF
each shall in no case be less than fifty
cents" Aftcr having done this, the di
reetors should ascertain how much additio
nal tax it is necessary to raise to meet al
the proper and legal demands Of th'
current school year, and assess that amount
upon the property Of the district, without
regard to whether the owner Of such prop
erty had been before taxed for any Office
or post of profit, profession, trade, O.
occupation, or as single freeman.
Whenever money is due from tax col
lectors of preceding years can be collected
from them by the directors by bringin!
suit upon the collectors bonds or if the.
have. given none, by an ordinary action o
debt. Directors are instructed by tn
Department to collect old duplicate
promptly.
The ethree hundred dollar act" doe
not exempt property from levy and sal
for taxes.

HAEoUN Ell RAsnID REplvlvUs.-
Late letters from Constantinoplc relate an
anecdote of the Sultan, which is quite
worthy Of the Arabian Knights. A rich
Armenian had lost portfolio, containing
four hundred thousand piastres, and for
which he offered reward of forty thou
sand. The portfolio was found, and the
reward claimed by very honest and poor
old man: but the Armenian in order to
escape payment, then declared that tue
portfolio also contained q very valuable
ring, whicn the old man must have stolen.
The affair was brought before the Sultan,
who, having ascertained the honesty OF
the old man and the well known avarice
Of his adversary, decided that, as the
Armenian declared that his portfolio con.
tained ring, this could not be the one
he had lost, and that he had better return
it to the old man and continue to advertise
for his own.
