A few days prior to the publication of my paper,

friendly manner by his remarking that he thought
the people had shown him injustice, or had been
hasty in adjudging him before he had had hear

RRThe trouble hetue.

GV The trouble between the City SUI
perintendent and Principal of the Pub
lie Schools of this city, which it was no.
ped was allayed and settled, seems to
have broken out with increased intensi-
ty. The Superintendent complains to
the School Board that the Principal as
sailed him with violent and abusive lam
guage and INSTRUCTED him in the perfor-
nance of his duties, and the Board in
consequence invited the Principal to APP
pear and show cause why he should not
be dismissed from his place; on which
proposition the Board has held two or
three exciting sessions, and finally ad-
journed until Monday week to dispose
of the matter.
What little we know of the trouble
between these functionaries it seems to
be personal in its character, necessarily
interfering very little with the public in
terest, and this last complaint seems to
involve an assault upon the dignity of
the Superintendent, more than upon the
public interest. The School in charge
of the present Principal has given very
general satisfaction, and in this late con-
troversy we have yet to hear the first
word of complaint of any failure of the
Principal in connection with the School.
We ask the Board then whether it is
not possible to let such complaints and
difficulties pass without notice and with
out permitting them to be magnifed in
to public matters to the great detriment
of the school interest, until such time as
one or the other or both of these func-
tionaries can be quietly and naturally
dispensed with by the expiration of their
contracts 1t strikes us that the contin-
uance of the school, without that demo-
ralization which viii necessarily attend
upon the dismissal of the Principal for
no cause Immediately connected withthe
school, is of vastly more importance to
the public, than the adjustment of these
minor difficulties can be.
If, however, the Board deems it ne
cessary to interfere in this case, by the
removal of the Principal, we venture to
express the opinion that the public feel
ing will not subside until the Superinten-
dent walks the plank also and the coast
is clear to begin anew. c. L. S. S. S. s.

ANOTHER TAX TITLE DBCIsIoN.-In
a suit brought by the owner of tax title
deed to recover possession from the orig
inal owner yesterday, Judge COLLINS
declared that the intent of the statute
was to make tax deed prima facie evil
dence only ofwhat was all eyed in the
deed, and was not intended to be any ev-
idence whatever of the regularity of any
prerequisite official act, unless it alleged
that the act had been performed
Because, if the other construction
should be put upon the statute, the Clerk
of Board might make the deed conelu-
sive evidence of irregularity, while by
the statute it would still be prima facie
evidence of the contrary, so that all the
acts of the various officers have beenpar-
formed, it will not be evidence that such
act have been regularly performed

u The schoener MINNIE KINNEY, loaded
with Railroad iron for the Kenoshs & Rockford
Railroad, ran into Racine harbor during the
storm on Tuesday of last week, and has not vet
got out. We understand that tug was pro-
cured to bring her to this port, but in coming
out of the harbOr, she ran aground upon sand
bar inside. and the tug being unable to get her
of. left her there where she still remains.
In connection with the above we are told that
when the schooner was driven in she brought
up alongside of the dock of the Racine and Mis-
sissippi road, and it was expected that the iron
would have to be brought over that and the lake
shore road to this place. The President of that

proffered any aid in their power, required. We
