standing which CONNIE ndable progress has Of
late been made. There are now ninety public
schools in the city, forty Of which have been
organized during the administration Of the
present Mayor, Hon. Richard Wailach, who
was elected to the Office in 1863. One Of the
scfo DOL buildings was finished in 1884, and
another now IN course Of construction. at an
expense Of nearly 100000, would do credit to
any city in the Union. Several more similar
buildings are In contemplation 10 supersede
the present inferior buildings, and to provide
increased accommodations. Seven thousand
one hundred and twenty. one children were
enrolled in the schools during the past year,
about one. fifth OF whom were children Of tax
free parents, national off &C. holders claiming
citizenship elsewhere. When the amount Of
means to do with is taken into consideration,
it must be admitted that the Board OF Trustees
have done remarkably well. They have man.
aged to keep school and political matters tho
roughly separate. With the same means en-
joyed by other communities, there is no reason
why the public schools at our nj tional capital
should not equal any in the Union.'

Mr.. WILSON, the Chairman of the House Judi

Committee would not be ready to report On
impeachment till after October Ia statement
which was followed by resolution by Mr..
Boutwell, that Congress should meet again on
that day. The debate on the resolution is iu-
teresting. OF the nire members of the Commit
tee, it appears that four believe that the facts
justify the impeachment OF the President; five
dissent, and seven hold that he should be con-
demned and censured. Mr.. Boutwells resolu-
ton was postponed. "-- -

ALL the reports from various parts Of the
country in regard to the crops concur in the
most flattering representations Of their oOudi-
ton The wheat harvest has been gathered
in very wide section, and is now in progress
in many others, and everywhere the yield is
large and the quality excellent. Corn is grow
ing finely and promises we'll. Grass is very
heavy, and the yield of hay will be the largest
for many years. The cotton crop gives excel
lent promise, and large amount of ground is
in cultivation with that staple.
With such hattering prospects as these
business must soon revive, and the prices of
the great staples of life come down to reason
able rates.

state Governments of Mr.. Johnsou's are the
Pith OF the whole contest SO long as they
remain In existence the Executive usurpation
triumphs in fact. It's work endures. No mat
ter by what name they may be oalled-pro-
visional, temporary, or what not--they are de
fdcto Governments, which we're created by
President Johnson. The people look to them
for all the usual functions Of government ior
they can look to no other. They must use
these or nothing. Now, cannot our Repubh-
can friends in Congress see that SO leng
as this condition of affairs remains, Mr.. John
son has an immense advantage in the fight
He holds the ''nine points" of possession.
His work remains. His Governments, illegal
and unconstitutional though they be, are still
de efoctO Governments. Every day that they re-
main in existence adds to their strength. They
are so many fortresses left in the hands of the
enemy, and their guns will be turned upon us
at the first moment when the fight may seem
to waver. There they are, State Governments
fully organized and with a full complement
OF Representatives and Senator's, ready to
make break for Washington at the first in
timation from our enemies.
Now what we need is that the Executive
usurpation should cease to be practical sue
cess. The de Jdcto organizations should be of
Congressional and not of Presidential origin.
Mr.. Johnson's work should not merely be de.
clared Illegal but it should at once be undone
1t should be wiped out. What cares he if
Congress does call his State Governments
illegal and provisional, so long as they are
allowed to remain and to fulfil all the func-
tions of government? He can afford to wait,
for every days delay strengthens him and
weakens us.
1t is in this view of the case that we ex-
ceedingly regret that the Senate, day or two
since refused to entertain Mr.. Wilson's pro-
posal to fix definite period after which these
illegal and unconstitutional State organiza-
tions of Mr.. Johnson's should cease to exist.
We regard such provision as of the highest
importance. If Congress shall leave these
fruits of Executive usurpation in existence,
it will leave a powerful weapon in Mr.. John
sons hands, and one which he will not hesi-
tate to use should occasion offer. We trust
that Mr.. Wilson'S proposition will be in
corporated in the supplementary bill before
it shall finally pass. a..a s#..
