THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.

It was announced in the yesterdays
evening edition of the REPUBLICAN that
General Sheridan had under consideration
the school board question, and was ex-
pected to issue an order upon the subject
soon. Before taking any decisive action,
however, the general desired a certified
copy Of the resolution of the common
council removing the old board. But this
could not be had yesterday from the fact
that Mr.. Hepp, president Of the board Of
assistant aldermen, refused to sign it.
Probably Nr. Hepp deems that it never
legally passed the board Of assistant
aldermen because it did not receive
two-thirds of the votes OF the
members. But as presiding off
Ger he should, it seems to us, have
raised this point on its passage, before it
was sent to the board of aldermen for con-
currence. 1t is certainly an unusual course
for a presiding officer to take TO let
measure pass quietly until it reaches
the ordinary stages required by law
for its perfection, and then under
pretense Of having failed in its duty, ar
rest it Oh the ground Of intormality. As
We cannot find any precedent for such
course, We are not prepared at this time to
say what will be the legal effect it may have
on the question. But the practical effect
will be to delay the organization Of
the new board unless General Sheridan
takes the matter up and dismisses all the
members OF the old board and appoints a
new one. composed either of those selected
by the council, or of such men as he him
self may select. 1t may be contended that
if the old board was not legally removed
the new one was not properly elected, so the
same power necessary to remove the pres
ent incumbents should be invoked in APP
pointing new members. The general
might accept of the action of the council
on Tuesday night as recommendatory
measure, and appoint such of the members
then presented as directors who may have
since accepted the trust and qualified, and
fill the vacancies arising from nOnresi-
dence or refusal to serve from among citi.
zens qualified for the position. As the
time appointed for the opening of the pub
lie schools Monday next is near athand,
it is desirable that the question should be
settled to-day 1t will be short simple
and effective way of settling the matter, and
will be the most authoritative manner that
can be devised in time to prevent future
complications.
We hope the general will be able to find
time in the midst of other pressing duties
to reach the matter to-day, and set it at
rest by his supreme power.
