eminent and to make the administration Of
the laws nearly impossible.
Mr.. Etheridge of Tennessee, who it will
be remembered voted against the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, added something
to his fair political record during the discus
sion of the bill for suppressing polygamy in
Utah. He announced that he should vote
for the bill, but took pains to put it distinct
ly before the House that the power which
authorized the passage of this bill would also
enable Congress to interiors with slavery in
the territories. Some of the Southern dem
ocrats tried very hard to bring him into
false position upon this point, but he stood
his ground manfully, showing their incon-
sistency in light which was far too clear to
be pleasant. He told them that the passage
of this bill would establiih precedent for
action against slavery. If Congress could
punish white men for having more than one
wife in the territories, it could also establish
legal marriage between slaves in the terrific
ries, which would strike deadly blow at
the property value Of the slave.
It's hard to see how that point can be
avoided. If Congress can suppress polyga-
my in the territories, it can suppress the 9th
er "twin relic Of barbarism" there also. If il
can forbid latter day saint to be "sellcd' tC
more than one wife, it can also forbid the
saint to own negro. Why not?

THE UNION HIGH SCHOOL.
REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE

REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE.
The committee who attended the examination
Of the High School last week, would say that the
teachers appear to be highly qualified for their
work. in the theory and practice Of teaching as
well as in the branches taught Many OF the pu-
pills also acquitted themselves very well. But the
committee think that the school, in general, has
not come up to the high mark Of thorough schol-
arsbip at which Mr. Conant and his assistants are
evidently aiming and laboring to reach. Real
improvement in schools is thingo slow growth
and these teachers have not yet had time to show
what their skill and fidelity can accomplish.
serious hindrance, the committee think, TO the
advancement Of this and other high schools arises
from the admission Of many pupils who are not
sufficiently well yersed in the elementary branches
belonging to the district school, and which cum
bers the ground appropriate to the high school.
The standard of scholarship for entering must be
high, in order to reach high standard of excel
lence in the school.
The building occupied by this school Is net al
together what it should be The way Of access to
the upper school room is excessively inconyenient.
A it'll, change in the arrangement of the stairs
at a little expense, would materially improve it,

THE SAVOY QUESTION

The London Times admits that the annex
alton of Savoy to France must be quietly al
lowed, but at the same time denOunces the
act az one of spoliatiOn and wrong; 1t adds
il must leave upon all minds the conviction
that there is no safety except in continued
watchfulness and preparation against the ag-
gressions of a sovereign who thus SEXES the
possessions of friendly power. The opinions
of the various leading governments Of Europe
on the Savoy question has been received by
France, and are substantially as follows :
Russia saws so long as the right of the peo-
pie to select their own rulers is not put Tor
ward by France, and as the present change
does not affect the balance of power in Eu-
rope, what Sardinia may do with Savoy is no
business of hers. Prussia says that, as the
emperor of France formally disavows the
doctrine of natural frontiers, the transfer OF
Savoy is no business Of hers. Austria de-
clares that she certainly does not approve OF
any annexation of the kind, but as Europe
stood by when other annexatlons were effect
ed she does not see what she has to do with
it.
The Emperor Napole, n, in receiving the
deputation from Savoy, states that the re
union of Savoy and Nice to France, has been
resolved on principle, the assent OF Piedmont
and of the population had been obtained,
and the negotiations with the powers, who
signed the treaty of 1915, permitted the hope
of favorable examination OF the question by
the greater part OF them.
The Ex-Duke of Tuscany IS preparing to
protest against his fate.
The agitation in Hungary continued, and
numerous arrests have been made in Pesth.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

The call for a Convention of the Freemen
of the Sd Congressional District, appears in
our columns to-day. Some explanation of
the late appearance of the call, as well as
Of the circumstance that different call has
appeared over the names Of the Committee
in one or two papers in the District may be
desirable. Ii is found in the fact that the
call was first issued by the Chairman Of the
Committee after consultation with the other
members, as to the time and place of holding
the Convention, but without consultation as
to the form Of the Convention. A further
comparison of views disclosed the fact that a
majority of the Committee were in favor Of
calling the Convention as a delegate COnyen-
ton. The correspondence necessarily con-
sumed time; and the delay has been increas d
by circumstances to which we need not at
present allude The call Is now issued in ac-
cordance with the views of the majority Of
the Committee, and the Convention will be
held accordingly as a delegate Convention, lat
HYDEPARK, on the Oath inst
The decision of the Committee to call the
District Convention as delegate Convention,

judgment of the great majority Of the Free

District Convention, called at this time of

rate. represent the District at large, rather
than the immediate vicinity in which the

Mr.. Hatch's report upon the practice,

Canada demonstrates conclusiveIy that =

suffered from the withdrawal of trade. The
treaty will expire in 1864. upon two years

It is considered somewhat remarkable that
the President never protested against the
scope of the investigation by the House until
he read the testimony given before Messrs.
Haskin's and COvOde's committees All the
evidence thus far which, in any way, impli-
Gates him with privity to the use Of money
in elections. and the distribution of patron
age with that object, was reluctantly ext0rted
from his own political friends. and from
persons who enjoyed his confidence and init
macy. Some of them have openly boasted e
not telling half they knew, and others testi-
fed with mental reservations. The charges
made by the Administration organs, that Mr.
COvOde's committee were investigating with
out specific aim. are false. Thus far thew
have addressed themselves exclusively 10 the
allegations contained in the Presidents Pitts
burgh letter. and find them fully sustained
by the corruptions of his own Administra-
ton.
The correspondent Of the New York Herald
writes as follows
The absurdity Of the statement telegraphed

Printer, is not willing to answer questions
relative to arrangements which he made with
