ACADEMY FOR BoYs.-Ths attention Of
parents and guardians is respectfully So
licited to the advertisement elsewhere in
serted, of Messrs. A. B. Paine and r. D..
Wilson. Those gentlemen, it will be seen ,
have become associated as teachers and
propose to open an Academy for boys in
our city on the first Monday in September,
The eminent qualifications and experience
possessed by each o. those gentlemen, in
their useful and responsible calling, are
too we'll known to require any attempt on
our part 70 impress their merits upon 'he
minds Of our citizens. The school will
doubtless prove success.

A Soldiers Convention.

A plan is on foot to get up a
Soldiers National Conservative Con-
vention at Cincinnati, some time next
month. A demonstration of this sort
would be happy sequence to the
one which has just TRANSFERRED at
Philadelphia, and would do more to
promote union and harmony among
the States than any other expedient
that could be devised.
As we have seen, from the most sat
isfactory proofs, that the very recent
National Convention, composed of
leading civilians from the various
sections Of the United States, has
paved the way to realization of
those great objects of international
concord and amity, it is earnestly to
be hoped that the efforts already 50
happily put forth in that direction
will be followed up in every possible
form Of cooperation. A better spirit
has been engendered and sent abroad
upon the four wings of the wind
among the people of the different
sections, and with the blessings of
Heaven, must tend to the extin-
punishment of much inter-sectional
strife and prejudice, The dawn OF
a more propitious era has opened
upon the country, and it has been
shown that the Conservative ele-
ments which are in the hands of the
people are of sufficient power, if
properly welded, to hasten the doom
of Radicalism.
1t will be sight worth witnessing
by the world-that Of a gathering
together in friendly council of those
warriors of other days, who, while
the battle waged, were arrayed on
opposite sides in deadly hostility and
found in one another foemen worthy
Of their steel. They will meet "to
fight their battles Ger again" but
not amid the din and clash of arms
the "pomp and circumstance of
war"-but only in spirit of friendly
parley-narrating individual expe-
riences and calling up the images of
scenes witnessed and trials under
gone by them during the bloody and
fiery ordeal through which they
have passed. These are the men
who, by "burying the Ratchet" and
declaring by-gones to be by-gones'
propose to meet in amicable counsel
and put their shoulders to the wheel
10 aid in the benefcent purpose OF
restoring the nation to its constltu-
tiouaI entirety and integrity. They
can we'll be trusted for 80 noble an
object.

OF THE CITY PRESS
THE REMOVAL OF TEE STATE DEPART
MINT.

IL has been stated that Congress has made an
appropriation of s5O.OO0 for the purpose of
renting a building to receive the Department
of State. in order to permit the erection of the
north side Of the Treasury quadrangle, and
that the house near the northeast corner of
Lafayette Square, spoken Of as the Cass Man.
sion, has been leased.
That a building will be rented for the ac-
oommodatiOn of the State Department is I'M
questionable, but that any building will be so
rented, until money is provided for the pur-
pose. Is not at all probable. 1t is true that the
Cass Mansion has been spoken OF, in the light
of suggestion, as one possessing most of the
requisites in size, arrangement and location,
but neither this or any other has yet been
leased. The bill which originated in the SEN
ate, making an appropriation of S5O,OOO, was
amended in the House TO reduce the
amount 20 S25,OOO. and the Senate Yesterday
agreed To that amendment

PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE
OWL SERVICE

On motion Of Mr.. Brown, Of Missouri the
Senate Committee on the Judiciary has been
instructed to inquire into the expediency of
providing by law for such a reorganization of
the civil service, and especially Of the Post
Office, Treasury and Interior Departments, as
shall secure appointments to the same after
previous examination by proper boards,-as
shall provide for promotions on the score of
merit or seniority, and authorize dismissal
under the safeguards of trial or resignation
as shall officer each branch Of the service with
well-trained experts in the details of It's busi
ness,-and as shall assmilate them all, more
nearly, 10 those conditions and reRu lations
which govern the enlistment and differing of
the Army and Navy of the United States, and
which have successfully precluded the latter
from being used as reservoirs of political
patronage or ordinary appliances OF nartv
power" f'
