Legislative summary.

The Senate, yesterday, passed the bill to au.
thorize the adoption of children.
The bill to repeal the ten per cent law being
the special order, underwent considerable dis
cussion; motion to strike out all after the en-
acting clause prevailed in Committee of the
Whole. The bill on being reported back, was
referred to select Committee of one. a motion
to instruct the Committee to amend the bill so as
to permit contracts at rates not exceeding eight
per cent, was defeated.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Schleich, that
it is inexpedient to limit individuals to six per
cent contracts, while banks were permitted to
receive an amount equivalent to twelve per cent.
was laid on the table by vote of IL to ID.
In the House bill was introduced: Supple
mentary to the act of May l, 1854, directing
County Auditors to levy an extra tax for road
purposes in certain cases
The House passed bill authorizing County
Commissioners to alter the boundaries of election
precincts.
A motion to suspend the rules for the purpose
of taking up the resolution providing for an
amendment to the constitution, relative to the
sale of intoxicating liquors, was defeated

in those who aspire to the Teachtr's Office, it
appears that, within the past year, no less than
5,S73 applicants have been rejected j. e., one
fifth of all who have been weighed in these
balances, have been found so far wanting as to
fail of obtaining certificates.
OF the Nativity of Teachers We find that
II,764 were natives of Ohio, 222s of other
States, and 24s of foreign countries.
Our present Commissioner calls upon the
County Examiner for anecdotes illustrative of
the knowledge or the ignorance of the Teach
ers." Some of these are published in an ZAP
pendix": t-t.
One candidate compares the adjective hind, -
Hind, more behind, hindmost" Another says
there are two kinds of verbs-"V Verbs and ad-
rerbs" Here is a specimen of definitions
OmnipTesent having been correctly defined by
one member of a certain class, as signifying
| eperVIohere present, Omniseient was Immediately
after defined by another member as signifying
no tohere-present. This was wonderful guess,
by apPosites
Question. "What is Accent! "
Answer. " "Distress of vols placed on one
silable more than the other"
Ques "What are Zones !? 4"
Ans. "Zones means the five division OF
temperature"
Ques. "What is Cataract? :"
Ans. "Something that makes great noise
as niagara falls is called cataract"
One candidate locates " arcGnSiuS, nishegan,
New York and jermGny," in group west of the
Mississippi. France is bounded east by Persia,
Panama, ''a an island in the Pacific Ocean," and
Mount Vesuvius " the loltiest of the Andes.'-
The Arfic Circle is at the extremity of the
Earth's axis, and allUays North of the Equa-
tor"
One Examiner says:-"At one Of our largest
examinations, more than thousand errors in
photography were detected, and 1900 questions
answered erroneously." Another one re-
marks -
''Iu some classes of thirty or forty applicants,
we have not had one good scholar in either Of
those branches, and we are at loss what to do;
because, if we reject all, we must leave many
of the schools without Teacher.

the mischief in that branch. think philo-
sopbical analysis of sentences can only succeed

tions of the separate words; and those special
relations are best discovered by pdrsing, in the
old acceptaticn of that fern Parsing is sadly
neglected to give place to the popular exercise

about as well as he does Sanscrit. Analysis
should accompany rhetoric, and should therefore
be placed much later In the course of study.

District Schools"
These samples show that much work is to be
done to prepare Teachers for our Common
Schools in Ohio.
There are other matters in this Report which
we mean hereafter to notice.

The TerritoriaI Bills at Rest

The House on the 18th laid the Arizona, Da
kota and Jefferson Territorial bills on the table
by overwhelming votes, and for good reasons
Arizona went to the table by vote Of l2l to
7s; Dakota I37 to 66, and Jefferson was also
strongly tabled. The Tribune's letter says:
The arrogant Slavery majority of the Com
mittee on Territories, under the lead of Mr.. Ste
phens, of Georgia, put Pro-Slavery riders on
them, and then attempted to drive them through
the House under whip and spur, but the Re-
publicans went solid against them, together with
the Anti-Buchanan Democrats, who are averse
to confering more patronage upon the Presi-
dent. The defeat of these bills destroyed the
patriotic hopes of Delegates, and more than two
hundred applicants for the offices of Governors,
Secretaries, Marshals, Attorneys, Judges, dc
Mr. Buchanan has made promises largely in view
of the passage of these bills, and RACES awfully
because he is deprived of so much patronage.

The War Making Power Demanded

President Buchanan has taken another step
in his plan Of Southern acquisition. He has
sent message to Congress see telegraph col
demanding that the war making power
shall be surrendered to him, ostensibly for the
purpose of protecting the transit routes, but
really to enable him to seize coveted portions
of nelghbOring lands, Pretexts for which will be
found plenty as blackberries the moment the
purse and the sword are placed in the sole
keeping of the Executive. Congress should
check rather than enlarge Executive power at
this tine. Mark how hypOcriticaIly the Presi-
dent disclaims all authority to redress wrongs
by force, and that too when war fleet sent out
by him is plOughing South American waters
for the express purpose of obtaining satisfac-
ton for an alleged outrage, by batteling down
the forts and towns of Paraguay. The de-
struction of Greytown is also kept out of sight
in the eagerness to possess kingly prerogatives.

MIR. Gliding. Gained Again.

The Washington correspondent of the State
Journal writes on the 18th:
The colored people of Washington last even
ing presented Mr.. Giddings with a beautiful eb-
ony cane, handsomely silver-mounted, In token
of their appreciation of his services in Congress
in their defense. If were Mr.. G., should
consider this presentation OF more value, as
compliment, than the costly service Of plate
presented by his fellows of the dominant race
1t reminds me of Lord Brougham, who was one
day met by an African in the busy strand of
London. The negro was an utter stranger, but
seized his hand exclaiming; "In the name of
my race, thank you for your noble efforts to
promote emancipation in the West Indies and
the world" Brougham often spoke of thus in
cident and declared it to be the most highly
valued compliment ne ever received in his life.
Brougham, in the Parliament, has been as faith
full to the cause of anti slavery, as Giddings in
Congress.

New oitr schonIRiI

We invite attention of everybody interested
to the new School Bill introduced in the House
by Mr.. PARsoNs. 1t preserves most of the fea-
lures of the present law, and is in the main q
good bill. The excellent provision giving each
Ward member of the School Board we think
might be materially improved by trusting their
selection to the voters of the Ward rather than
making agents o the City Council The closer
officers can be held responsible to the people

faithful discharge of official duties. The peO-
pie of Ward can certainly make selections

Important from Kansas-Russell Arrested
Lawrence dates of the Ilth to the st. Louis
Democrat bring intelligence that Deputy Mar
shal Russell is in jail, and his marauding party
dissrmed Russell came into Lawrence with
an armed band of thirty men, and four heavily
ironed prisoners. The prisoners were speedily
transferred to the officers of the county, or they
would have been rescued. The process of law
had never been served on them, and they were
held b. Russell as prisoners of war, though it
did not appear that they had been concerned in
the late difficulties. The irons were taken of,
and they were taken TO hotel and courteously
cared for, being detained merely to see of there
was anything against them.
Russell soon got portion of his deserts
After reaching Lawrence he concealed himself,
but he was hunted up and arrested under an in
dictment for robbery and murder. His posse
were disarmed by the crowd. 1t is to be hoped
that peace will be restored now that the official
disturbers of peace have been checked in their
vocation of plunder. oppression, and blood
shed.
The Lawrence correspondent expresses fears
that the Constitutional Convention bill, and the
bill abOlishing slavery, will be defeated by the
action of Gov. Medary, who had them still in
his possession at the latest date.

years, or of the first grade; while 9,O03 re.
ceived certificates for six months, or less. In
the face of such facts, no one can be surprised
that many of our schools are not yet all that
they should be. 1t is proper here to remark that
the greater part of the Teachers of the Graded
Schools of the State, are examined, not by our
County Examiners, but by local Boards. OIL
