IHE SCHOOLs.-N Not IN the spirit OF
fault finding. but for the public good. a
word is submitted. Every one who sppre-
ciates the importance Of q proper education
for the youth of our country. will concede.
that whatever amount Of money is needed
to carry out the great purpose. should be
cordially provided by the public. But
economy in the management of the whole
machinery Of the system, should be just as
carefully observed by all school officers
Wepresume no one doubts that the School
Board have acted in good faith in all they
have done and have with great labor and
difficulty pursued the course to them APP
pearing most conducive to the end in view.
Yet it is believed that unders different
arrangement 'arge saving Of money could
be realized, without impairing in the least
the efficiency Of the schools Instance -
A teacher is employed for half Of each day.
for the intermediate School, At salary Of
$500 per annum-a City Superintendent at
44O0 per annum-a School Secretary at
s4OO per annum; the balance of the time
for the intermediate School will cost at least
$4OO more ;-making in the whole the
round sum of $4,000. Now we propose .
plan for accomplishing the same, as fol-
lows:
For teacher of the intermediate School
all the time, $500 per annum-City Super
intendent $OOO-Secretary Of School Board,
say $50 per annum-total $3.50.
The plan adopted is $4,000; from which
deduct $3.50, the amount needed, for same
services. and we save the sum of 4l15O.
Now there is no need whatever Of City
Superintendent; as we are to have Coun-
ty Superintendent whose duty it is to per-
form oil such services.
The Secretary Of the Boar1, if paid for
the time employed At the rate paid clerks
for similar services in other departments Of
business, will not be entitled to more than
the amount above stated.
1t may be convenient for certain persons
to hold these Offices but there 10 no need
whatever for the Secretary of the Board to
be salarisd officer; and as to City Super
intendent, the county officer fills that posi-
tion, and there 10 no need of two officers to
perform the duties Of one.

These questions have been asked by the
people time and again. bat without placing
the necessary information in their reach .
without telling the voters Of this district
what debts are now contracted upon which
this amount called for is to be applied, they
are called upon to vote for ito vote blind
and trust to luck.
This kind Of gammon-for it is nothing
else-will never go down among the people
Of this city They are willing and anxious
to vote-never saw people more anxious to
or more inclined to vote-yet they have =
sort Of old fashioned idea that they want to
know what they are voting for They are
also willing to be taxed-to pay the most
burdensome taxes, but at the same time
they are Of the opinion that they should
know what they are taxed for. This is Just
and right.
We are in favor of voting we like to see
people vote-vote early. vote late and vote
often and We want every Democrat tspec-
tally, in this city, to appear at the polls on
Monday. between the hours of ten and six
o'clock, and vote; and inssmuch as tho
people don't know what this tax is to be
raised for. we admonish every one to vote
against the third proposition, which is to
raise some twenty thousand dollars to do
something Without what. tho people. the
citizens at large, are in the most blissful
ignorance Let it be understood then, that
this matter is to be equelched in it's incipi-
ency, and that the people are perfectly
willing to wait until they know what they
ere voting for before they vote to increase
their already heavy taxes.
Let every man go the polls and vote
against this tax.

oetbolIe Funeral PROFESSIONS.

A very commendable and salutaTy reform
touching funeral professions has been introdu-
ced by the Catholic Bishops and Clergy OF But-
falo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, DC 1t
is rule limiting the number of carriages in the
cortege, in Pittsburgh to two, in Cleveland to
four, and refusing entrance to the cemetery
grounds in all cases where the rule is violated by
an increased number of carriages. We under
stand the rule here has been repeatedly stated
to the people in the Cathedral and the Church
es, and has been SO generally approved and OBJ
served that, until last week. no disposition had
been shown to violate it for the six months pre-
ceding In the case referred to by the Review,
the regulation was also announced when ticket
was issued to the Sexton; and we are sure good
citizens as well as good Catholics will com
mend Father HANNAN for rigid enforcement
of the regulation which not only saves an unne-
eessary expense of several thousand dollars
year to the people who keep it, but does away
entirely with the former scenes of disreputable
conduct which often brought scandal on the
long professions, especially when returning
from funerals. The rule is applied equally to
the rich and the poor and adds much to the de-
eency, order, and sOlemnity of the usual rites in
cOnsigning friends to that bourne which is like
wise no respecter of persons.

Col Forney,. Review and Anathema.

Col FoRNEy, editor of the Philadelphia Press
made James Buchanan President of the Unitet
States In letter written by him from Wash
ingtOn to his Press, dated dlMarch 4th, 1859, Col
F thus reviews and pOintedly condemns
Two years ago this day, James Buchanan
took his seat in the Presidential Chair, the most
popular of our Chief Magistrates since the days
of George Washington All parties stood will
ling to trust him. His inaugural address was
accepted by every section with unalloyed pleas
ure. His long public life induced even those who
refused to support him in sc, to repose gener-
'ous confidence in his administration. He held
in his hand the destinies of happy county
He was clothed with rare advantages, and, had
he been animated by conscientious patriotism,
be would have consolidated the Democratic par
ty in every State in the Union, and paralyzed
and prostrated all Its adversaries.
Where does he stand to-day? Utterly bank
rupt and broken-his administration dishonored
before the world. The great party which car
ried him into office, after infinite labor and ex-
pense, torn into fragments. Corruption, like
pestiIence, SO pervading every department of
Government, that Democrats, admit the fact
with pain and shame, and Republicans point to
it with exulting Indignation
A withered financial policy, an incapable for
eign policy, a Cabinet divided upon principle,
and united only by the mereenary motive Of
selfpreservation. No advocates to hold up or
strengthen his hands. No intrepid statesman
ready to come forward in the spirit of honest
sacrifice and plead in his behalf before an out
ragged country. No high-minded journalist,
deVoting himself to the vindication OF his con-
duet Nothing butt tiaversion and contempt
The sentiment first uttered in this journal
eighteen months ago, which, when uttered,
startled so many honest men, namely: ''that the
way for the Democratic party to recover its
strength and maintain an effective and power
Ful organization, is to cut loose from the Admin
stration"-this sentiment is now everywhere
accepted as the only remedy BY which DemOc-
racy can ever re-ascend in the affections and
confidence of the masses.
There is no middle ground If the young
who glory in the traditions and name of the
Democratic party, and who, fired BY an honora-
bic ambition, look forward to receive the votes
Of the people, they can do so only BY rejecting !

More African sIaves---DOmesric Trade.

The New York Express states on the author
ity of private letter from Hays county, Texas
that -Four Hundred Slaves from Africa have
been landed on the coast of Texas within the
last few weeks.
The report is probably true, for the success
of the recent African Slave venture on the coast
of Georgia, little better than winked at by the
Administration and the government authorities,
would be likely to stimulate further piracies.-
The South has taken defiant position in the
matter and the unusual demand and high prices
for slaves in the cotton and sugar sections have
put the cupidity of dealers in human chattels
on the keenest scent for larger and cheaper sup
plies The domestic slave trade was never so
active as now, and the foreign las been begun
under what the dealers regard favorable aus
pices Ship loads direct from Africa viii here
after be landed along the Gulf coast as frequent
ly and with as much security as in Cuba, and
will ere long be brought into direct competition
with the daily car loads from Virginia, Mary
land, Kentucky, DC, in the slave marts OF New
Orleans. So long as the Democratic policy of
the South prevails at Washington, the laws pro-
hibiting and furnishing the African Slave Trade
as piracy will not be whit better than blank
paper. ..
The constantly increasing demand for slave
labor in the Gulf States, late Richmond En-
quirer complains has already proved serious
drain of the laboring population in the bread
stuff States; and the Enquirer expresses aPPre-
hension of an actual decrease of the number OF
slaves in Virginia, from the rapid tide of emil
grafton now pouring into Texas alone. 1t says,
and the facts are worth noting;
The number of slaves in Virginia, it is true,
has been slowly increasing, but their increase
has in no measure kept pace with the growth OF
cur white population, the development of new
uncultivated tracts of lands and of new fields OF
industry In many parts of the State,t the free ne
gro population has become indispensable to the
farming interest, and in more numerous in
stances, white laborers command monopoly oil
employment.
In any event, we can hardly, under present
circumstances, ,expectto see the number ofslaves
increase in Virginia in proportion to the IN
creasng requirement for slave labor, so long as
our fields are drained perennially to supply even
the ordinary increase of demand for labor In the
more Southern States.
The demand for labor in Cuba is now sup
piled by her surreptitioas trade with Africa,
aud the same trade now opened in Georgia and
Texas, will be pressed with all the inevitable
certainty which attends the law of supply and
demand

Dangerous Illness OF P. N. Genern

Dangerous Illness of p. NJ. General Brown
About the last of February Postmaster Cen
eral Brown had a severe attack of pneumonia,
and for time his case was considered critical.
The second of March his condition was consid-
erably improved, and speedy recovery was an
ticipated. On Friday he was indiscreetly in
formed of the death of his principal assistant
in the financial department, Mr.. Marion, and of
the defeat of the Post Office Appropriation Bill,
soon after which his mind wandered, and his
principal physician informed the President the
evening of the 9th that there was hardly a hope
of his recovery The President, members of
the Cabinet, with other distinguished persons,
were in attendance at the residence of Mr.
Brown, under the expectation that he could not
live through the night.
Postmaster General Brown is o native of
Virginia, graduate of the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, and distinguished
citizen and politician of Tennessee. His age is

lieutenant Goverpor--Mr. welke,

II has been understood for some time past
that our present able Lieutenant Governor de-
cIines being candidate for denomination for
that Office. This determination win be uniyer
sally regretted by the Republicans of Ohio, who
would rejoice in continuing him in position
which he has filed so satisfactorily to them, and
SO creditably to himself Mr.. Welker has been
distinguished for the courtesy, imPartlallty and
ability which have characterised his official
course as the presiding officer of the Senate; and
if it had not been generally understood that ne
would not consent to be 9 candidate for re-elee-
ton, some ofthe gentlemen who are candidates
for the successorship would not have allowed
their names to have been suggested IN that con-
nectiOn. This is the case with most of them, if
not all of them. The present incumbent is emf
nently entitled to such an expression Of con-
tinued confidence and approval, which, without
doubt, would be cordially bestowed, if it were
not understood that it would not be accepted
As was announced some weeks ago, the de-
msnds of Mr.. WeIker's profession exact so
much of his time that his acceptance of the of

that in his opinion, he cannot consistently make.
We sincerely regret that such is the cause, for
