The Mama gement OF Our Public Schools.
In another part of to-day's paper we pub
lish the report Of the Committee on Bylaws,
Qualifications and Elections of the Board of
Education on the subject Of dispute between
the Board of Trustees of the Twenty first
ward and the Board of Education. The sub
ject matter of the dispute is of great i'm
portance to the teachers engaged in the public
schools, as well as to the thousands of our citi-
zens who entrust their children daily to the
control Of these teachers. It appears that the
Board of Trustees Of the Twenty-frst ward
salaries of teachers in the schools of that
ward, and had notified the assistant teachers
in all the schools of the ward that they must
resign their positions and accept appointments
to expire on the 3lst day of December Of each
year. Against the ruling Of this local board
the Board Of Education very properly con-
tended. If such proceedings as those at
tempted by the local board of the Twenty-frst
ward were allowed to pass into precedent
the schools would be placed at the mercy of
ignorant local politicians teachers who had
shown ability for their Positions and under
whose care the children of our citizens had
been educated, would be obliged to watch
with painful anxiety the progress and result of
the annual charter elections.
The system Of public education in this city
as at present administered is justly subject
OF pride and congratulation to the citi-
zens Of the metropolis. The executive
officer of the department, the Superin-
tendcnts OF Schools and the Superin-
tendent of School Buildings are gentlemen
whose qualifications and fitness for the posi-
tions which they hold are universally acknow-
lodged. To them and to those whom they re-
commend we can safely entrust our children;
but so soon as the public schools become
obliged to acknowledge the power and mastery
Of ignorant local politicians, then viii il be

The L0rIxin Murder.

Judge Sutherland, of the Supreme Court.
has found it necessary, upon the presentation
of the facts which transpired at the inquest on
the body Of Felix Larkin, to admit the three
parties to bail who were committed to prison
by order of the Coroner, as charged by the
jury with wilful murder. While It is very
unusual to accept bail for persons so charged.
IL appears that Judge Sutherland regarded the
conduct Of Coroner Flynn in such light that
ne could not refuse the application of the pri-
soners counsel. The application was based
upon the refusal Of the Coroner to allow the
accused or their counsel to put any questions
to the witnesses, and also upon his extraordi-
nary charge to the jury, in which he directed
them to find verdict Of wilful murder aoainat
all three Of the accused, stigmatizinr the crime
as Zone Of the most horrible murders which he
or any other young man ever heard or"
1t is evident from the decision of Judge
Sutherland that he believes the action Of the
Coroner to be judicial outrage, wholly un
warranted by law or custom. As this case be-
comes more fully developed it reveals some
very curious circumstances, which need ex-
PLANTATION. The testimony from beginning to
end was mass Of Inconsistencies and contra
dictions. The companions Of Larkin had evil
IDENTITY concocted uniform story, which was
not substantiated by the police nor by the tes-
timony of the medical men. 1t remains now
for the Grand Jury to unravel the mystery
and to place the guilt upon the right parties.

MORE HUMAN SLAUGHTER ON THE Ono. -
We publish to-day a report of terrible
disaster-by which some eighty or hundred
people lost their lives-that occurred on the
Ohio river, just before midnight on the night
of the 4th instant. The steamer United States,
descending, and the steamer America, ascend
ing, came in collision, and the United States
was sunk to her main deck. In the act of
sinking a combustible material (called petro-
leum) by some means not yet defined caught
fire, and both boats, locked, as it were, in an
embrace of fire and death, foated with the
stream. In our dispatches the steamers are
termed magnificent, and 1t may be grim sat
isfaction to the mourners of the deceased to
know that fact. But 1t would also be some
satisfaction to those who travel on Western
waters to learn that better precautions
are taken to secure their lives than seem
to have been observed in this lamentable in
stance
The New York herald., 1868-12-06
The Report Of General Reynolds.

This report, which we published yesterday,
contains some hard truths. 1t is terse and to
the point, and shows the necessity of holding
Texas by military law. Speaking of the
Ku Klux Klan the General states :-''The
precise object of these organizations cannot
be readily explained, but seems in this State
to be to disarm, rob and in many cases
murder Union men and negroes, and, as occa-
sion may offer, murder United States officers
and soldiers; also to intimidate every one who
knows anything of the organization but who
will not join it. The civil law east of the
Trinity river is almost dead letter. In
some counties the civil officers are all, or a
the political meetings in several counties
linen have been indicated by name from the
speakers stand as those selected for murder.
The men thus pointed out have no course left
them but to leave their homes or be murdered
on the first convenient opportunity" The
murder of negroes is so common as to render
it impossible to keep an accurate account of
them
We suggest that this condition Of affairs in
Texas calls for prompt action on the part of
our Executive power. A commission should
be appointed to consider the condition of the
State and report upon it. In case of the con-
frmation of General Reynolds report, which
is without doubt, from what we know, correct,
Texas should at once be turned over to military
rule. This will be the quickest method to re-
store it to peace and prosperity. Nothing but
inexorable military law will produce quiet
there, and the quicker it is put in force the
better for our whole Southwestern country,
which is sadly afflicted by this Texan cut
throat government.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE WHisKEY
FRAUDS. There is q report from Washington
that the President intends to throw upon
Congress the responsibility OF removing
the Instructions TO the Investigation into
the whiskey frauds in New York by
sending to the Senate the names of
the successors of certain revenue officials
supposed to be implicated in the operations
of the whiskey rings. This Is all balderdash.
Congress has been engaged in protecting and
whitewashing these frauds for the past four or
five years, and President Johnson knows well
enough that be has nothing to hope for from
that qsarter, and that If he really desires to
