Some discussion has been going on
among the. friends Of Public Schools in our
city, relative to change in our school
law. It'seems to beapretty generally con-
coded that the school law now in operation
in the city needs little or no modification,
that the more it is tampered with, the worse
it will become. "Let well enough alone" is
a very good rule for our Legislators to work
by in this cRse.A ~ ~ ---''
"A mere suggestion, however, in one par
tieular, may not be out Of place. School
teachers are the servants of the public
Public servants Id nearly or quite all other
positions, are required to give eVidencetOf
their natriotism -ud loyalty by taking an
oath. of allegiance to the goVernment.-
Why should teachers be an exception
The present teachers in our city schools
are, SO far as the writer knows, all truly
loyal. Yet their known loyalty constitutes
no sufficient reason why they should be an
exception in this case. UH1oN

MoNRY at New York is plenty and cheap.
Large call loans are made at s per cent,
and even the banks will accept that rate of
interest with government bonds as collate-
rails. At s per cent any one with ordinary
credit can supply his needs. But neither
the abundance of money, nor it's Cheapness
seem to affect very much general business,
which still remains dull. The business in
breadstuffs and provisions and also in dry
goods is principally confined to the neces.
elites of regular trade. The uncertainties
of values are such as to forbid much buy
ing for speculative purposes, for, although
gold holds firm upon the other side of 200,
the impression among business men is
pretty general that it cannot long be held
there. Our exports are large aud our i'm.
ports light, and the demand for gold is
small and on the decline; we are to have
no more legal tenders issued, aud those al
ready issued are being boarded and retired
from circulation, loans aud taxes are to
furnish the government funds for the future,
and both loan subscriptions and tax re-
ceipts are hatteringly large; the demand
for our government bondsl from abroad
continues large, more than 81 1000, 900
(gOld Value) of ive.tWeuty bonds having
been sent per week for the last six weeks;
We have already exported considerable
cotton and may reasonably hope to export
good deal more there is plenty Of petro.
lsum for foreign markets and brisk de-.
mHnd for it. These are some of the items
that bear directly upon our present fnau-
oial situation and give, and that too with
good reason, bright hopes for our future.
So it is best to buy only for consumption;
to keep free from involving and ,embarrass.
ing speoulations, to keep unbouudsd faith
in Providence and our government, and
sooner than the timorous fear or the dis.
legal hope dollar in paper will be equiva-
lent to dollar in gold. s., rl

mentis to be constituted. Messrs. ssgar and
Underwood therefore will remain elected,
aud as the prospect now lie that Richmond
will soon be in our possession, we presume
they will not long be kept out of their
seatS. "
In saying this much we have not touched
upon the antecedents Of the restored gov.
eminent as relating to botn branches of
Congress and all the Executive depart.
ments at Washington. We may say, how
ever, that we are not able to see how it
comes that after the acknowledgement Of
that government by the said two branches
and the said Executive departments, the
question now is raised as to lts right OF
representation on the floor of the United
States Senate. Mr..Bowden vas. elected q
Senator just a few months before the State
of West Virginia became State, and after
the body that now refuses Mr.. segar seat
had given its consent to the formation OF
said state, and yet he was allowed to take
his seat. Mr.. Carlile still represents that
restored government. fit is not entitled. to
further representation he is not Senator
of right on the floor. To such a dilemma
is the body reduced by its present action
No Senator can hold seat unless repre-
sentiug an acknowledged State, and nc
acknowledged State can be deprived
Of Senator. The Supreme Court has
formally declared that under the 4th Sec.
ton of the 4th Article of the Constitut ton
requiring the United States to guarantee
to every State a republican form of gov
eminent, that it rests with Congress to de
eide what government is the established
one in State; and that "whsn (Once
Senators and Representatives. of a Stat,
are admitted into the councils ofthe Union
the authority of the government under
which they are appointed, as well as
its republican character, is recognized By
the proper constitutional authority, and III
decision Is binding on every other depart
ment of the government, and could not b.
questioned in judicial tribunal"
We take this decision of the Suprem,
Court to be binding on Congress & in THU
case. It's not competent for the success
sOrs Of those who acknowledged the re,
stored government of Virginia in the ad,
mission of its Senators and Representa-
tives to reject other persons elected by tn
same authority. Mr.. segar is as much
Senator elect as was Mr.. Bowden befort
he took his seat, and has exactly the sam
right to tspositiou that Mr.. Carlils has t,
his. If there is no such government a
the restored government of Virginia Their
ts no such Senator as Mr.. Carlile, and i
there is such q government then the oul,
question is as Mr.. Foster, Of Connecticut

Party supremacy.

Not long since the radicals Of the country
advocated entire and complete co-opera-
ton with the administration, and denoun-
ced all who refused to do this as vile dis
loyalists, traitors and copperheads, more
to be dreaded if possible than rebels in
arms against the government. What was
before suspected has now become patent
to all, which Is, that the reason for their
course lay in the desire 20 secure the
complete supremacy of their party; not IN
the love they bore their country. As
proof Of this We have only to trJ them by
their own rule OF action When prcsi-
dent johnson first issued his proclamation
for the reconstruction Of North Carolina,
the radicals found fault with him because
he did not recognize the doctrine ofnegro
suffrage by means Of which they hoped to
secure party triumph in that State
They howlcd fercely, when they found the
president imlnovable in his adherence to
what he believed to be the best interest
of the country and refused to change his
policy on that question in the reeonstruc'
ton of the remaining rebel states. When
1t was ascertained that Mr.. johnson could
not be moved by threats and intimidations
from his purpose, they then suddenly dis
covered that the southern states ought
no. to be permitted to take place in the
Union at all until they should be frs
duly educated in their duties to the whole
country in general, and New England IL
particular They now claim that tho
states formerly in rebellion should for TIT
time being be kept in 4 state of subjectior
by military rule until they will consent t.
allow the negroes to vote, and will in al
things agree to be guided by radicalism IL
It's most repulsiye forms. Until the radi-
Gals learned that they could not contro
the president they found no fault will
the proposition to reconstruct the states
With the negro vote in the south they
thought themselves securely seated ii
power, without that they see certain ant
early defeat in case the southern state:
are again represented in the halls of con
gress, hence unless the negroes can vote
they insist on system Of military tutelag'
for the southern states. 1t is even threat
ened that unless negro suffrage be adopted
in the former slayeholding states, thcil
reprcsentativ IS shall not be admitted t.
seats in congress. They must allow til,
negro to vote, or the radicals will DO al
they can TO keep them unreprescntod il
congress. This is the programme marke,
out. and it remains to be seen whether i
Will prove success, whether enough ultrt
radicals can be secured who will not scru
pie to pcrjurc themselves to maintain thei
party supremacy. We would hope for th
honor Of our country that the scheme ma,
fail but We confess we have fears that i
may succeed.
