TIE FQpRrH WARD School DIFFIcuLriEs.-Tne |
recent differences relative schoOl matters came before
the Finance Committee of the Board Of Education in
new shape yesterday as suggested by US yesterday
mmnrg. The School Law requires that the pay-rolls
of every school shall be audited monthly BY TIE Ward
Inspectors and upon the Inspectors signature depends
their payment. The Board Of Education have the
power pass the rolls for pay ment when the In
specors decline TO sign, which delay, while the
Inspectors signature payment without ques-
tion before the Board. One Of the Tenth Ward In
spectors Mr. Ryan, refused sign the pay rolls f.
June. The Board of Edacstion, at its last mee ,ny
referred the matter 10 It's Finance Commute IT,.
grounds of the inspectors objections were ,onooa ,C
be the charges which had appeared in th n,bc ;our
nals, that relatives of School ofGer4 had besn an

The School law. The Commit 20 met yesterday. and
Mr.. R,an then appeared an explained his objections
He said that he knew notf ing Of the appointment Of
relatives of School Office a. but that he objected to the
pay-rois because the ooa Board had appointed teach

their money.

A SAILOR RoBBED.-Daniel Nelson, a boarding
house keeper was arrested yesterday, charged with
robbiDg James Fletcher sailor, of $3.50. Fletcher it
appears, returned short time ago from cruise in

being paid off, induced by Nelson to take board at
his house No $40 Pearl street. and also to ntrust his
money for safe keeping with his landlord after being
Kept stupid by Of dragged liquor for about three

Nelson told him that his board and liquor bill had con-
sumed il AL and beside. The poor sailor then
applied to Justice Kelly for redress, and Nelson was
arrested and appeared with counsel before the magis
tra'e. The counsel expressed belief that he could
settle the matter TO the satisfaction Of the parties con.
cerned if time were allowed, aud time was granted.
In case settlement is not effected, the magistrate will

trate instead of allowing the parties to compromise,
had held the extortionate landlord 70 trial. then he
would have been debarred from pursuing his nefarious

other foolish jack tars. Now with s25 or $50 he will
settle the natter and be ready to pluck the next man
that comes along.

special claim to Legislative preference
over all others? Can "B, " or any one
else, explain the equity of such propo
sition ?
1t is admitted by all that the canal has
been wretchedly managed; no better proof
of this fact can be adduced than that
which appears in the last annual report
of the canal company, from which it is
shown that the expenses of the canal for
the year 1858 amounted to $271 ,224 90,
exclusive of the interest account, which
amounts to $143, 095 65 more the OK
penses for the first five months of 1859,
are stated at $105, 743.19, exclusive of
the account for interest, which amounts
to $50, u.s. So additional and ] am glad
to see, from our former articles, that "B"
and | agree on one point and that's, that
much good could be accomplished by
thorough retrenchment of the expenses
of the company and as neither of us has

or State agent, we, of course, are exempt
from any charge of porpetuating the ex-

EXEMPTION LAw.-It VIII be seen, by
reference to the Legislative proceedings,
that bill has passed the House of Dele
gates, (though the amendment Of Mr..
Landing, it is thought, renders it uncon-
stitutional,) exempting $500 worth of
property from execution on any judg
ment in any civil proceeding whatever,
except on judgment for breach of prom
Use Of marriage and seduction. The
property, real or personal, may be select
ed by the defendant, to the value of $500,
the value to be ascertained by three dis
interested persons, sworn to appraise. -
1t also provides that if the real estate
cannot be divided without injury, if the
property is worth more than $500, it
shall be sold, and $500 paid to the de-
PENDANT. And that no property, unless
it is worth more than $500, shall be
sold. That all wearing apparel, books
and tools of Mechanics shall be exempt
from execution in addition to the $500.
This exemption is not to effect or impair
the lien of any vender for purchase mo-
ney on land, nor of any mortgage, nor
Of any mechanics lien or other person
for any debt contracted for or in aid of
the erection Of any building, nor from
any lien for taxes. That the exemption
shall not apply to any execution on a
judgment rendered on any contract, or
for any liability which now exists or may
exist before the 4th of July next, when
this act shall take effect.

PASSAGE OF THE Brock RAILROAD
BnL.-In the Senate, on Wednesday
last, the Brock Railroad bill was passed
by the following vote:
AYES = Messrs. Brooke, President,
Blackiston, Bradley, Dashiell, Duvall
Franklin, Goldsborough, of Talbot, Ora
ham, Kimmel Lynch, McKaig. Nuttle,
Smith, Townsend, Watkins, Yellott-16
NAYS - Messrs. Gardiner, Heckart,
Miles, Stone and Whitaker.
Those who voted for the bill were
seven Americans, with Mr.. Goldsbo-
rough, of Dorchester, absent, who would
have voted for it, and nine Democrats
Three Democrats voted against the bill,
and two Americans.
Upon the passage of the Brock bill, by
the Senate, the Baltimore Exchange, Of
yesterday, remarks: q An intense feel
ing of Indignation pervades this eommu-
nifty at the utter disregard manifested by
the Senate of Maryland of the wishes
and interests of our citizens in reference
to the Brock Railway business. We
learn that petition, embracing some two
or three hundred names, will be presented
in the Legislature to-day, of parties here
willing to take an interest in three cent
charter, who represent at least twenty
millions of property, and that large ad-
ditions will be made to the list. We
further understand that it is likely some
very emphatic mode of presenting the
protest of the people of this city against
the further progress of this outrage Gu
their rights will be Immediately resorted
to. We can only say, that while our in
formation from Annapolis leads us to
hope that the House will not blindly fol-
low the lead of the Senate, the utmost
energy is required to prevent the con-
summation of the Philadelphia scheme
of plumber"

the choice Of the recent convention which

UNITED STATES SENATOR. The An
napolis correspondent of the Baltimore
San, under date of the 18th instant,
writes:
"Thc excitement in regard to the SEN
atorial caucus on Wednesday evening
last has not yet subsidized The friends
of the different candidates are excited aud
anxious. Mr.. Pearce's friends are, as
far as can be ascertained, firm and unwa-
vering His hold upon them is that of
merit and ability Few of them have a
personal acquaintance with him. All of
them are emboldened in their advocacy
of his claims because of his refusal to
visit Annapolis or adopt any of the ap-
planes resorted to BY his competitors to
secure his election. In all probability
Mr. Pearce can yet rely upon twenty-five
devoted friends, who, it is supposed, will
sustain him under any and all circum-
stances. In outside circles here, the
combinations to defeat Mr.. Pearce, are
not looked upon as genuine reflection of
the sentiment of the State This is the
view taken of the subject by the friends
Of Mr. Pearce, among whom are some of
the most consistent and long-tried of the
leading democrats of the State. who con-
slider his reelection to the U, S. Senate
as eminently due to the great high ma
tional spirit of the old line whig element
new incorporated with the Democracy.
The friends of Mr.. Long express their
indignation that the friends of Mr.. Stew
art should persist in holding on to their
candidate after Mr.. Long wanted but
four votes of election. ( understand,
however, that in no case will the friends
of Mr. Stewart vote for Mr. Pearce.
The friends of Mr. Stewart justify their
action by saying that Mr.. Stewards
chances as the compromise candidate for
the nomination are equal if not superior
to those of either Mr.. Pearce or Mr..
Long"

HENRY WINTER DAyIs.--A meeting
to approve Of the course of this gentle
man, in voting for Mr. Pennington as
Speaker, was held at Cumberland, Nd,
on the 10th instant. The Alleghanian
says:
A gentleman formerly acting with the
Democratic party, and who once occu-
pied the position of State Senator, to
which he was elevated by democrats. was
called to the chair, and decided that the
purpose Of the meeting was to obtain a
jarorajle oppression ot opinion upon the
vote Of Mr. Davis, whereupon about two
thirds Of those present, disappearing of
the course Of Mr. Davis, and excluded
by the ruling Of the chair from partici-
patton in the meeting, quietly withdrew.
4 committee was then appointed 10 draft
resolutions expressive of the sense Of the
meeting. Their report was unanimously
adopted.
Another meeting to denouncc the
course Of Mr.. Davis, and to show the
people of Maryland that the Black
Republican party have few adhereuts "
in Allegheny county, was called for

call is signed by nearly six hundred

Mr.. EDITOR DR.. WASHINGTON DU.
VAIL, the Senator from this county, il
reported in the Baltimore "Sun," in
response to the appeal Of the Protean
Senator Of Lnganore, to have said, that
he knew of but two men in Monfgom-
cry county in favor Of the bill" II
might be interesting TO inquire whether
this computation may have been formed
since his own declarations in support Of
a scheme for the same object. But if
DR.. Duvall means to assert, or convey
the idea, that there are only two indi-
viduals in the county he represents, in
favor Of a just measure for the relief Of
the suffering creditors Of the nismanaged
Chesapeake and Ohio canal then ! have
to say he fails to understand the senti-
ments Of the people Of his county, if be
does not grossly misrepresent them. The
citizens Of Montgomery are high-mind-
ed, honorable aud honest people, and
never would oppose the payment Of just
debt They hold the man who would
receive and retain a conveyance Of prop
erty, TO keep it out Of the way and be-
You'd the reach Of just creditor, in utter
contempt; and il may be truly said, that
two men cannot be found in the county
to uphold and defend such doctrine
and yet. in effect this is precisely the
position in which DR.. Duyall, by bis OPP
position to all measures, when brought
before the Legislature for the relief Of
;he creditors Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, wishes to keep the State Of Mary
