~It is an axiom in mental philoso.

@ 1t is an axiom in mental philoso-
ply that the faculties Of the mind may
be, by evil habits, so perverted, as to be-
come deranged in all their operations,
and reason be rendered incapable Of per-
ceiving truth; and the mind unable to
distinguish fact from fiction. From
reckless habits Of speaking man grad
ually wanders from the statement Of

king indiscriminate assertions, till he
cuts himself so entirely free from truth,
that his mind has no distinct perception
Of fact-it loses ali distint consciousness

have got to do under the new charter, to sus-

Mr. jones' Argument.

A legal friend has supplied us with
the following conclusive reply to Mr..
Jones' argument, which he complains
was not met in the debate on Tuesday
evening.
The question is, keep our schools
under the old Charterl 1t is admitted by all
that il its provision in reference to Common
Schools is in force we can. Is this fact' A
gentleman Of great legal ability, and weight
says not. His argument is this: the power to
regulate Common Schools is in the Legisla-
ture alone, and when it exercises this power
no other body can; and therefore by its act
of 1852 upon the subject of Common Schools,
the Legislature ipso .fdeto, and by impica-
ton. revoked and annulled all powers there
tofore granted upon the same subject, and
among others that in our City Charter which
was passed in ls47. This is evidently a bad
argument and its answer is in the fact that
1t makes no distinction between Charters
granted to cities and ordinary Legislative
acts. That such distinction does exist is
hHo"u w ONciy lawyer. AltnOugH lDS
Legislature has perfect control of Char
tiers of public nature and may repeal
or modify them when it chooses, ye
when it does, il can only be by positive

The City Council having postponed the

for some months, prevented tho Trustees from
securing money to pay teachers and other
expenses connected with the schools at the

reason no full report of the schools could be
