fixed sum, $500, 600, was appropriated in January
TO the payment Of teachers salaries. The sum paid in
January, with an addition Of =! per cent for each
month, will exhaust the appropriation.
Mr. WATERBURY had introduced resolution re-
k;r;c;ipg school officers 10 that sum-
Mr. NELSON was opposed 10 that, but would have
the money apportoned among the Wards in p.opor-
ticn 10 the attendance of pupils in May. As this, how

The sticking. point was upon the appointment OF
Professor Roemer head Ct the Department Of Modern
Languages. Mr.. LEcoyTE was indignant at the
thought of appointing man who was proficient in
but one gusge French at the head Of the Depart
melt Of Modern Languages. He hoped at least that
portion Of the report would not be adopted.
Mr.. BOISE thought they might just well abolish
the heads Of departments from the President down.
HMr. HOOPER took the same ground &c Mr.. Le-
gument.
A call of the house was twice ordered and although
q quorum was not present, il was announced that
Motions TO lay on the table were voted down, and
there appeared the greatest anxiety to rush the report
through.
At the tbld call o: the house, it being perfectly
manifest that quorum was rot present the President
declared the Board adjourned.

see, have been busiIy engaged in leplir-
ing the much injured streets by the la'e

commendable and reflects unreasonable
credit to the Mayor and his Auxllaries.

We hope to see ere long Princess and
Mill streets paved in substantial man

on foo; TO that effect. This improvement

il is from various sources, and all agree
inc in essential details, leaves little room
to doubt that it is reliable. The entire
party consisting Of eighiy-Four men, IN
Guiding Henry A. Cfabbe, their comman'
der. have been massacred.
On tie first of April, the party entered
the town Of Cavorca, situated on The Gull
O California and Immediately enc'u tered
the Mexicans, under Rodriguez, who
with several of his soldiers, lost their
lives. The fIibusters next took posses

shortly thereafter were hen.med in by

themselves, and which had been fred, and
Internationally laid down their arms. On
the following day the entire party, with
the exception of their General was taken

his original company, who had left HIM

balls were then fired into his body, after
which he was decapita!ed and his head
exhibited in conspicuous place for the
multitude to gaze upon. Among The kill
ed are number Of the most distinguished
political PersoDages who have ever resided
in this State.
Some days after The massacre, de-
tachment Of twenty FIVE Mexieans, from

Effects OF Lynch Law.

In connection with the recent ynchlng

breast, and an emulation OF the spirit OF
Iawlessness and reckless disregard oil the
decencies OF life shown by those citizens
who snatched a criminal from the hands
ofiusiice and inundated him on the altar
of human passion, thus allowing them
selves TO be swayed by the same ungov-
ENABLE impulses which dictated the or
riginal crime. The body Of BargeI, after
banging for several hours upon the tree
on which he was executed, was cut down;
the corpse was placed in rough box and
nailed up, and hole being dug in va
