The Japanese in Our School.

We have. on one or two occasions.
quoted from the letters of young
japanese who are studying in Ameri,
can schools. They are located at
New Brunswick, Amherst, and Mon
son, Massachusetts, and in one or
two other places, besides those who
are improving the opportunities af,
forded at San Francisco. Ise Yuga>
maula, writing from the former place
on Monday, says: I'VE are all very
we'll and studi=g quite hard. We
have had three more Japanese friends
One OF friends came over last Au-
gust. These three young men came
from Yeddo and arrived TO Boston.
But them are not very well for stud
ing. So moved TO here last three
weeks ago. Now here are altogelh-
er six Jananeze. One Of them is
nobelst officers son in Yeddo. Do
you remember He father has been
this country about eight or nine
years ago with Ambassador. His
name is Kats This son of Kats. he
is quite young, about fifteen years
ole. They goes Grammar School
with US and they like here very well
and school. We are preparing TO
enter College this June. So We have
many lesson, besides we began Latin.
We are very busy this term. Nest
vacation We shall try to go visit you
in Philadelphia. Present our best,
kind regard to your all families"
We understand from other sources
that the japanese in all Of the schools
excel in the exact sciences, AID that
they manifest a great taste for MAJ
chinery, matters that will be import
ant when, IN short time, these stu
dents become teachers and govern
ors among their countrymen. 1t is
pertinent to add, TOO, that the Ja>
panese now have newspaper pubs
lished in their own language, at
Yokohama, by private enterprise
All China, so much larger and longer
subject to Western influence, cannot
boast OF the same fact-the Pekn
| Gazette being only an occasional pub
lication of laws and matters authori>
zed by the government. Both coun-
tries have papers published and sup
ported by Foreigners Philadelphia

ses- The theory of the Copperhead
press is, that the President is not
bound to execute law which the Su.
preme court has not declared to be
constitutional, but that although
sworn to ito see that the laws are
faithfully executed" be may set the
pernicious example of breaking them
The only laws which are binding,
then. are those which have been en-
acted by the Supreme Court. All
the rest are laws which any citizen
may violate with impunity. This
theory confers on the Court legisla-
tive power and upon the Presideu-
tial judicial power The President
is not only authorized to substitute
his opinion in the place of any law
that he does net like, but inasmucn
as the Court can only review the law
upon litigation by private parties,
upon some question OF personal or
property rights, the neglect of the
President to enforce the laws would
prevent their being adjudicated at all!

TRAIN IN IRELAND. George Fran>
els Train is i'll the height of his glory
in Ireland, where he finds a set of
people who apparently believe him
really to be all that be claims for
himself, Populations of infants pres
ent him with bouquets, and young
misses write him addresses, trans
hitting handkerchief OF Irish linen.
Train gravely assures them that he
will certainly be the next President
of the United States, and these in~
fants and school children implicitly
believe his assertions. With such re.
ceptions, we sh ould think he would
never leave Ireland. Among other
things which G. Francis pledges his
sacred word to accomplish is the
erection of a palace for the Pope on
the banks OF the Hudson-which OF
course brings down thunders of APP
plause for this tremendous Don
Qaixote of the Fenans.

Court Delays High Water Muggins

The first week court business mov>
ed slowly. The Grand and Petit Ju
rors say that the lawyers were the
the cause Of idling away most of the
week to no purpose, not having their
cases prepared nor their witnesses
ready. As to the witnesses howev.
er, the high waters were in their
way. Except in the case the Bos-
cobel erring sisterhood, nothing was
ready The lawyers blame the Judge
for turning about and hurrying
things to smash, and the Judge
mean time takes things coolly but
holds over them the threatening ter
rors Of speedy adjournment. At
first the Grand Jury blamed District
Attorney Hazelton for being absent;
but, upon being reminded that he
was in more useful service at Madi>

ed him to fill two places at the same
time, each place OF his business y

The scene in the Senate Chamber
at an early h5Gr this morning was
brilliant. The ladies came in good
season, and before the opening of the
regular legislative session large nuns
bers Of them had secured seats, and
were busy with books, crocheting or
neddlework. The dull proceedings
had a soothing effect upon the gall
leries. There were many smelling>
bottles passing around, and many
approaches to quiet maps. As one
o'clock drew near there was gener-
waking up, and the scene became
lively. The ladies' gallery was gay
with bright toilettcs, and in contrast
was the plain black of the gentle.
mems side, unrclieved except ~
successive rows Of earnest, peering
faces. The diplomatic gallery had a
slight foreign air. The police kept
the crowds back from the doors, and
through each of them could be seen
long ranges of men, all leaning for
ward, trying to get glimpse OF the
inside scene, or to catch sentence
of argument or a ruling. The desire
too see was only limited by the great
anxiety of the crowd which thronged
the corridors. Precisely at l O'Clock
Mr. Wade cut the debate short with
declaration that the hour had ar,
rived to proceed to the consideration
of matters pertaining to the impeach
ment of the President, and that the
chair would then be vacated for the
purpose. The Chief Justice entered
from the lobby in the rear of the
desk, and took the chair OF the pre-
siding officer.
