acting Under it, the power to raise n portion
Of its revenue by granting licenses to retail
intoxicating liquor. According TO the deci-
sions of our S,preme Court on parallel sub
jects, stated that no such power was granted
that the only clause i'm the law from which
such power could be inferred, was the 18th
clau.e in the 35th rection, which is in these
words: =. Tie City C,uacil shaU hare potcer

stated that according to well known de-
cisions OF the Supreme Court Of Indiana
this clause aid not confer the power to raise
revenue by granting licenses; and pre-
sumo that every attorney will agree with me
upon the subject. Yours, respectfully.

eY-Our reporter did Mr.. Wheeler in;us-
tice in the notice Of his remarks at the close
of the High School Examination. Mr..
Wheeler alluded 20 the reports. current in
the streets, chat the Catholics were opposed
to the Free Schools, for the purpose of de-
nying the truth Of them. and to enter his
protest against the reiteration of he charges
because lie believed their circulation iniuri-
Gus to the prosperity of the st hools. and de-
structive Of tie harmony which had pre-
vailed in tho management of them. He die
not repeat the charge. as was supposed. Il
give il circulation and credit. but TO condemn
and refute it. In proof that the Catholic
were not opposed to the schools. he referre,
to the number Of their children present-tt
the teachers of that faith and to the eff
cient and active Trustee who was membe
Of that Church.

UNCOMMON WIspoN.--We heard city
fnnctionary yesterday arguing that our high
school could not be maintained under our
legal system of common schools, because it
was Of higher grade than ordinary Schools
AID therefore an uncommon school. and u
different kind of thing from what the law
contemplated. The gentleman probably was
not very familiar with the definition of the
legal term common" though he had been
helping for several years to frame laws for
the city. Common rights-common lands
co'rmon high ways--commom property
were, to his notion, very ordinary sort OF
things Of their kind. So common schools
were kind fitted for very common sort OF
people. who didn't pay much of the COM
mon tax. The DICTATOR proved one point very
satisiactorily-that he had not had a very
common sort Of an education and that a
common school in his youth. would have been
common benefit to him and the community
in which he resides.

The Catholic, and the Ilixh schools.

We publish the following communication
with great pleasure. rs it comes from q
source that gives it weight and authority.
Every friend OF the Schools will rejoice as the
assurances given that these valuable ins.itu-
tons have the cordial support of our fellow
citizens of the Catholic faith, as we'll as those
of other scots. Charges Of sectaran oppose
ton are the most likely means tn beget Il.

except on the most conclusive evidence. Our
Common Schools should be bond OF union
among our citizens OF all sects, classes and
nationalities. There the children minelc
without distinctions or prejudices, on q COM
mon level and with equal rights and privi-
leges., and there they form the mutual &C
quaintances and friendships which will
attend them through life. Let their parents
consecrate this happy influence of the schools
by exhibiting. in all they do concerning
them. Catholic spirit of tolerance, mutual
good will and public spirit. This course Of
itself will prove the most efficient means of
bringing citizens of every faith and nativity
to the support Of the schools.
EpIToR OF JouRSAL:-In the report of the
examination Of the High School, published
this morning, your reporter states that Mr..
Wheeler, our very efficient Superintendent
said that he heard from Mr.. Whittlesey that
the Catholics were opposed to the Ere
Schools" am sorry Mr.. Wheeler travelled
70 far for his information, aud to q source
not at all acknowledged as friendly anthor-
ity by the Church. Iwish to state, for the
benefit of all who are interested in the aues-
ton, that Catholics seek kuo" ledge wher.
ever to be found, unless debarrvd by sectarian

through which the road passes, is the

incumbent veins. measuring altogether
nearly 80 feet in thickness. All The
veins can be worked at the same time
from one shaft. The coal extends over
many thousand acres, the right to which
has been secured to the Coal Company.
The coal field is about 40 miles from the
