City superinten d ency.

Editors Of the Register:
You will please state in your paper
that on the subject of the Superintend'
ency, | have never expressed but one
opinion. 1t is we'll known that have
advocated it publicly and privately fol
the last two or three years. | suppose
l have expressed it as my opinion
hundred times, that / looked upon
the Superintendency and a Cen
trail High School, as essential fea'
lures of the Public School sys'
TEN. Just before the new law went
into effect, did express myself very de-
cidedly against an arbitrary and des'
potic Superintendency, such as that
cOntended for by Mr.. Stevens and his
friends, but always advocated it under
proper restrictions and regulations
Had Mr.. Stevens been elected, it can
hardly be doubted that those who are
now most strenuous in their opposition
would have been the warmest friends
of the Superintendency. And so the
world goes
1t can hardly be conceived, therefore
that could have made any such ad'
missions as those with which l have
been publicly charged. 1 am prepared
to assert positively that have not, nc
matter who may charge to the contra
ry. l am willing, however, to believe
that the party, or parties, who have
made this sharge, may have misunder
stood me in some CONDENSATION or otha,
on the subject. If the subject is allow
ed TO rest here, am content. If not
then your readers will please recollect
TINS statement, as l am determined to
nave no personal alterations in regard
to the matter.

The Stale of Texas.

The Reconstruction Committee have
under consideration the State of Texas
and what to do with it. The question
is whether it is to be admitted under
its new constitution, which excludes
many thousands of its population for
their sympathy in the rebellion, or
whether the admission shall be with
those clauses stricken ont. General
REYNOLDS, late commander of the de-
parrment, has been before the commit
tee. He don't like the people of Texas,
who, it is said, in retnrn of the compli-
meut, don't like him.

The Cas-. of captain Braiue

A petition for the release of this man
will be presented to the President. 1t
is signed by great number of promi-
nent persons irrespective of party, who
ask his release unconditionally. He is
the only Confederate in prison-"the
last single prisoner TO millions in war
and it seems an act of cruelty to hold
him when all others, from the highest
to the lowest, who participated i'll the
rebellion, have been freed. BRAINE'
case is peculiar, bat he is certainly entl'
tied under the circumstances to mercifuI
consideration

DON'T Like liz.

The New York Times is concerned a.
the conduct of the Senate towards Gen
eral Grant. 1t says:
1t is evident the Senate does not in
tend to repeal the tenure of Office act, oil
to permit General Grant to make remov.
ais from Office without their consent
Under all professions of confidence in
General Grant, and desire to aid and
support his Administration in all posi-.
Bile ways, Senators clearly mean to keep
these fetters on his hands. They know
perfectly we'll that corruption and i'm.
becility in Office is the greatest of the
many evils from which the country suf
fers,-and that thorough, vigorous re.
fern in this respect would do more than
anything else toward reducing the
heavy taxation which weighs upon the
people, and paying the public debt
But for all that, they do not intend that
General Grant shall have the power tc
accomplish that reform. He shall not
remove a single office-holder, unless for
reasons first submitted to them, and by
them first pronounced sufficient. This
was the clear result of the debate OF
Saturday, which is to be renewed to-
day, and which will end in leaving the
matter just where it is.
The motive of this determination is
very plain. 1t does not indicate any
general lack of confidence in General
Grant on the part of the Senators, but
only lack of confidence in their being
able to control him in the matter of re-
movals. Each Senator has score OF
more of friends in office for whom he is,
of course, solicitous; if he felt quite GER
tain of being able to retain them In
place, he would care very little about
imposing restraints On General Grants
powcr of removal-but until the
doubt can be dispelled, he prefers to
take no risks.
Nothing can be more absurd than the
pretence that the public service can be
promoted by giving the Senate control
of this matter. 1t is quite possible that
there should beSome restraint upon the
indiscriminate power of removal from
office. Our past political experience
shows clearly that it is power liable
to very gross abuse, and that there
/ ought to be some provision somewhere
for retaining deserving and valuable Of
ficials in the position. But it is equally
clear that the Senate is not the quarter
in which that power should be reposed
The idea that a body of fifty or sixty
members should be required to investi
gate and sit in judgment on the case be
fore public officer could be removed ii
preposterous. The time of the Senate
would be wholly absorbed in this busi
ness, aud the fact that, during the past
three years, not solitary Republican
Office. holder has been remOred ,cith the Sen
Gte's consent, no matter how fagrant hi'
violations of public duty, proves con
clusively how utterly useless such
provision would be. 1t would simply
paralyze the Executive power of re
moval.

Iuaepeudence of CubH.

The following is the joint resolution
for the recognition of the independence
OF Cuba, introduced in the House oi
Representatives by Mr.. ROBINSON:
WHEREAS, By the recent revolution
in Spain the party claiming the right
70 hold Cuba in subsection was oanished
from the kingdom; and
WHEREAS, The people of Spain, thus
establishing for themselves the right
Of self-government, cannot consistently
denv that right to the people OF Cuba;
and
WHEREAS, Said people Of Cuba have
for four months successfully resisted the
foreirn invaders who, without color oI
international law, are now pouring
troops into the country to stitie the free
voice and crush the liberties of that
brave people; therefore
Resoired, That the committee on For
eirn Affairs be instructed TO repori
forthwith a bill recognizing the isde'
psndence of Cuba, as we have reoog-
nized the independence of Spain, from
the oppressors of both.

IT is said that President JOHNSON,
indignant at the Senate's contemptuous
treatment of his nominations for office,
contemplates refusing to sign any bills
of Congress during the remnant OF the
session. We hope that he will sign
none none not manifestly and impera-
lively demanded by the good of the
country. Let him scOrn to put his name
TO any bill which, involving extrava-
CANT expenditures, the Radical rings
of Congress are daily and nightly work
ing to hurry through in order that II
NAV 90 to him, instead of having tc
wait the advent of GRANT. That h'
will do this we are we'll assured.

Making patent medicines in Europe
is as profitable as it is in the United
States. Hof, the Malt Extract man, is
worth five million dollars; Dubarry, the
Revalenta man, is still wealthisr;
Bertha, who sells iron pills, which he
says are good for pregnant women, pays
income tax on seven million francs; and
most of the patent medicine vendors in
Paris report larger incomes than the
leading wholesale merchants in that
city. The advertising bills of these
Paris patent medicine men are .eRor-
nous. Dabarry, whose real name is
Felix Gros, and who, twenty years ago
was corn doctor, and as posr as a
church mouse, has paid to the Journal
des Debats, since 1853, over fifteen hun
dred thousand dollars for advertise
ments. He often takes the whole last
page of every Partisan daily twice a
week at the rate of twenty thousand
francs for each insertion.
