To-day the qualified electors of the city are
called upon to elect a Board OF School Di.
rsc.ors for the ensuing year. The officers to
be elected are q President, Vice President,
Secretary, Treasurer and three Directors.
The office is one OF responsibility, and we
trust the duties Of the citizen will not be 10 :
nored by neglect to use the rights Of the
elector. In a few short articles, published
some weeks since, We gave hasty sketch OF
the expenses Of the schools and their present
condition. The current term having closed,
we are able TO give the expenses Of the Pub
lie Schools for the present year, which we
now DO, as il will enable every one who de-
sires TO make just estimate OF the tar nee
essary to be levied for the support Of the
schools Tor the next year. The law makes 1t
che duty OF tho meeting assembled to elect q
Board OF Directors and 10 determine what
the school tar shall be, or, on motion. to
delegate that power to the Board of Direct.
ors. The tax for the past year was onerous.
The indebtedness which had been incurred
iof thc grounds OF tne Central House; th.
absolutely necessary repairs to the building
che making OF new benches, 6o., &c., togeth
or with the fact that the schools were beini
conducted one year in advance OF the collec
ton OF the tar, explains why the tax levies
was placed at figure sufficient to wire on
the debt which has been carried forwart
from year TO year, and secure an amour
sufficient to pay the teachers when the ser
vices were rendered. The tax for the cur
rent year should BIO light. To secure this
let the voter be on hand in time, vote fo
what be thinks 10 right, and no grnmbling i
be stays away from the polls and permit
others 10 vote for him.

made By prisoners aboard the Mexican prize
steamer, corresponding substantially with
accounts already published. The Gen. Mi
ramon had crew of $50 men, mostly Span
iards; 40 OF the crew were killed and wound
ed in the engagement. The prisoners state
that the arms, ammunition, 6c., were put on
board at Havana, with the knowledge Of the
Cuban Government. A large portion Of her
cargo consisted of powder, which was thrown
overheard during the fight. Some of the
barrels Of this powder have been recovered,
snd prove to be the same as used in Arsenals
at Havana.

We see nothing very important in the tele-
graphed proceedings of the Goth.
MIR. CLARK b. Cochrane, who was reported
to be in the Insane Asylum, appeared and
took his seat.
Bills were introduced In the House and re-
ferred, for the improvement of Buffalo Har.
Dor and the ST. Clair Flats, for establishing
an Assay office at Atchison, Kansas, and for
the repeal OF the Fugitive Slave law, and
Col. Curtis introduced Pacific Railroad bill
which was referred to select committee.
Mr.. Blake offered the following preamble
and resolution:
Whereas, The chatteling Of mankind, and
the holding OF persons, is contrary to natural
justice and the fundamental principles Of
our political system, and is VIGOROUSLY a
reproach to our country throughout the DIV
ilized world, and serious hindrance to the
progress of liberty throughout the nations OF
the earth; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Committee On Judicial
ry be, and the same are hereby instructed, to
enquire into the expediency of reporting a
bill giving freedom to every human being,
and interdicting slavery, whether Congress
has the constitutional power TO legislate upon
the subject.
A scene Of confusion ensued. amidst which
the roll was called and the proposition re-
jected-60 to LOG.
The Senate passed the Pacific Telegraph
bill.
The Consular and Diplomatic bill was con-
sidered and amended.
