Dr. w. B. Eager, J. H. Anthem John Otterson George
Durochc, j. g. Keys and Robert Fair.
The Clerk Of the Board OF Education, Thomas Boese,
was also present. and was very efficient In explaining tho
workings OF the shooI system, the difficulties TO be
peced by the gentleman present IN the discharge OF their
duties M Inspectors and In gscstng the rules which II
would he advisable for them TO adopt and follow.
The law provides that two inspectors shall attend the
examination of teachers and certify the fact before d.
pomas can be awarded 10 the taa hcrs II was agreed
That Saturdays should be the day on which these exam
nations should be made and that each cand date for the
certificate Of teacher must have testimonial from at
least throe reputable citizens OF the district In which the
candidate resides, az 10 moral character &c.
1t also agreed that before the Inspectors sign any
bill for repairs, exceeding 500 must have the approval
OF the trustees Of the ward in which the work DONE and
the Superintendent OF School Buildings
Mr. B1EE remarked that II would DO well to keep q
watch the action OF trustees in this way
Mr. PERKINS replied that he felt secure about his ward
because there Is purity and honor enough at Washington
Heights to cover up all the niquy with which II may
be tainted
Dr.. EAGxg suggested that the pay rolls for teachers
salaries should only be signed when the clerk OF the
Board Of Education ccrtnes that they correct This
also agree To.
Mr Prn.Iys suggested that some time in each month

signing the pay rolls which likewise agreed upon.
Mr. ASTnnS suggested that the signature Of bills and
pay rolls should always be made at the hall Of the Board
OF Education, which was also concurred In.
II finally agreed that the course intended TO DO
pursued should be printed for the purpose Of circulation
among the inspectors and other school officers.

The CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.-It appears
to MS that the House Of Representatives is
wasting time in Its protractcd discussion Of the
proposed amendment of the federal consiitl-
ton declaring slavery abolished and forever
interdicted throughout the United States. The
constitutionality and the expcdiency Of this
proposition are SO plain that they need no
laborcd arguments to prove them SO. If the
friends Of the measure are hesltating for fear
they may fail Of the necessary two-thirds In
pushing the vote, the best thing they can do is
to postpone the resolution for while until the
opposition shall have had few more con-
vincing arguments in Its favor from Generals
Grant, Sherman and Thomas, and from JET.
Davis.

WHAr's IN THE WIND?-Major General Sickles,
we learn, was suddenly summoned to Wash
ington two days since, and was observed
entering and leaving more than one of the
departments in rather mysterious way. He
returned to New York on Tuesday of this
week, and ordered q stateroom aboard the
Costa RIGA, bound for Aspinwall. Yesterday
noon he embarked, attended by single
eid-de-camp and an orderly, and by this
time he is well out at sea. The General is
not on the road to California, for we have dis
covered that he has been ordered abroad, but
where, we must leave to the conjecture Of the
quid nuncs. 1t is certain that q man of the
Generals position and admitted ability is not
sent out Of the United States at juncture like
this unless he has task assigned to him. But
here we are prey to conjecture again. If we
had any clue 10 his destinations; If we knew .
gunboat was waiting for him at Aspinwall to
carry him 10 Vera Cruz or TO Rio Janeiro,
or, at Panama, to carry him to Lima, then we
could say the General was going to look
into the intrigues always bearing against us
in Mexico, or to put his finger on the sore spot
in the Florida affair; or, perhaps, to thwart
Spanish designs against Peru, who may have
asked advice and assistance from Old Abe,
or Seward, or laundering Stanton. But, as
we really do not know where the General is
going or what he is to do, we are obliged TO
drop the subject; but, as a mystery is just the
sort Of thing we love to explore, we give Gene
raj Sickles due notice that our correspondents
in Mexico and Central and South America will
be on the alert the moment he puts his foot
ashore; and he must know how to keep State
secret well, indeed, If be can elude or mislead
us very long.

Tue STREET CLEANING TRoUBE-THE De
CIsioN or THE CoURr TO-DAY.-For the last two
or three days the street cleaning question has
been agitating the public mind in new form.
The ill-adviscd action of Mr.. Hecker in getting
out an injunction to prevent the pay Of wages
to workmen for labor had and performed,
brought that gentleman into temporary, but
rather serious trouble. There need have been
no difficulty at all about the matter; and we are
glad that It Is to be definitely disposed Of to-day.
Judge Ingraham, before whom the arguments
were heard on Thursday last, having taken the
papers, has promised to render his judgment
this morning. II Is manifest to common sense
that Hecker's Injunction will be removed and
the wages Of the laboring people paid It was
obtained through the promptings Of selfcon-
stitutod body Of men, who have no right to in
terfere with such matter. It Is true that every
taxpayer has the privilege Of getting out an
injunction for good reason; but the public will
not submit to the unnecessary interference
Of selfconstituted society when the laws
are sufficient to meet all Inc exigencies
of the case. If there be any COM
pihmGS abuhos SHo Oity llspcCIOT lct tucm
be presented in the proper form; and, if sus-
tanned, the Governor is authorized to &C. in the
premises This was the proper way to have
settled tho natter but, as it now stands, we
have no doubt that it will be disposed of to-day.
No judge will ever sanction such proceedings
as those inaugurated by an irresponsible body
Of citizens through one Of their own members.
The injunction will therefore be discharged,
and the wages now due will be paid.
1t is necessary that something should be
done. Our streets are in a most filthy
condition, dangerous to the health of the whole
community. The cutters and sidewalks are
filled and covered with mud and ashes,
which should be instantly removed. And this
has been the result Of the untoward interference
of the Citizens Association in matters which
they do not understand, and with which they
really have nothing to do.

"OID ABE's" ADVANTAGE AS A CIVILIAN OVER
JEYH. DAVIS AS A misunderstanding to the
Richmond Examiner the greatest misfortune to
"the confederacy" has been and is, "that Its
first President was, or thought himself 70 be, 9
military man. II he had been some worthy
planter, who never was either ut West Point or
Mexico, and had no special qualification save
Q manly straightforward Southern spirit, then
he would have never thought himself COM
petent to plan distant campaigns or interfere
with generals in the field" But Mr.. Dav is
studied war at West Point and one day in
Mexico he formed his regiment of two hundred
and fifty men into the shape Of ", and, con-
tipues this Richmond critic, 1--WE feel it's evil
effects to this day. If we are 10 perish, the
verdict Of posterity will be, Died of W"
The reader will thus perceive the advantage
which we possess in "old Abe" over JEFF.
Davis. The one has found out that he knows
nothing Of the art of war, and leaves lis
management TO General Grant, while the other
in his vain conceit that he Is n great soldier
has brought his armies, his confederacy and
himself to the verge Of destruction.
