One of the few really successful enterprises Of
the day is Parker 4 Co.'S One Dollar sac. Their
system offers greater opportunity for the pur.
chase Of the thousand and one useful articles,
at price that comes within the reach Of all
classes, than any other.
Itisa well understood fact, that certain elias
ses of goods pay the dealer very large percent

especially in Fancy Goods, Jewelry, Silver PLACED

cisnt of any one article to make it an object of
trade, and is obliged to purchase in small guam
titles; and when the goods are sold by three or
four different classes Of merchants, and each
charge a very large profit, the price becomes
double the original cost Of manufacture before
reaching the hands OF the people.
1t is in such goods Parker Co., rs and 100

LONDON, July 22.-The compromise Of
the Irish Church bill was the result Of
fear on the part of the Peers of the con-
sequences threatened by collision of
the two Houses of Parliament. Last
night the tory Lords held large meeting
at private residence, and resolved to
repudiate the Marquis of Salisbury, and
put themselves under the lead of Lord
Cairns. The latter was authorized to
make peace with the ministry and ex-
press the willingness of the Peera to yield.
To-day Lord Cairns sought an interview
with Earl Granville, and gave in the sub
mission of the Peers; whereupon the
Cabinet agreed to compromise. When it
was announced tonight the prompt and
loud expression of popular indigna,
ton terrified the Lords, and thus has
been postponed for while the threat
sned agitation.
In the House Of Lords, last night, q
motion for the restoration of the original
dates of disestablishpent vas agreed to,
and other amendments were disposed of
according to the terms of the compro-
mise clause, which was altered so that
none of the supplies shall be applied
without the separate and distinct senotisn
of parliament.

EDUCATIONAL.

Amidst our political struggles and
excitement we often lose sight of the
most important matters Of the people
progress and education, which in q
republic ought to be the main object OF
its solicitude. Few of our citizens know
that next Monday the Board of Educa-
ton will elect Superintendent for the
next scholastic year for our city schools,
at salary Of $1,000 per annum, and still
fewer know who are or will be the csndi-
dates for that high and onerous position.
After some dilgent inquiry, as most OF
the members are very reticent on the
subject, we succeeded in obtaining the
names of some of the candidates, being
the present incumbent, Mr.. Mitchell,
the President of the Board, Mr.. Lesth,
Rev. DR.. Hines, Jacob j. Peres, Esq /,
and the Rev. DR.. Bliss. Although the po-
litical creed of the candidates is by no
means the main feature Of their claims,
we cannot say that it is totally ignored
and that it will not have its proper
weight at the coming election. To the
credit of the candidates, however, we
must say that they rest their claims
mainly upon their fitness to gil the office
to the best advantage, most of them being
acknowledged representatives OF peda-
gogics, and therefore very little button
boiling is going on, something which gen.
orally cannot be said in our municipal
elections.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July 23.--Col. Warren
called yesterday upon Secretary Cox and
Postmaster General Creswell. and had O
long talk with them about Fenian mat.
tiers. The Colonel has now seen every
member Of the Cabinet except Secretary
Rawlins, and has found them all favora.
BILE except Attorney General Hoar. He
believes that some decided action one
way or the other must soon be taken by
the Administration on the subject, and
from the opinions expressed by different
Cabinet members, he hopes that the ex-
pected action will be favorable to the
rights of naturalized citizens.
The Secretary Of the Treasury, on be-
ing questioned in regard to the subject,
replied that he had no intention
at present of selling gold, and that he did
not expect to sell any while the premium
was at the present figure. The impress
sion at the Treasury is that it will go
lower. This seems to be founded on the
fact that United States bonds have ad-
vauced in Europe, in consequence of the
favorable exhibit of Boutwelrs financial
management, and that by the time there
is demand for the shipment of gold the
crops will be ready to bring into market.
A letter received here from an American
gentleman travelling in Europe alludesin
warm language to the beneficial effect OF
Boutwell's policy in strengthening the
credit of our Government abroad.

which they could effect such compro-

ture, out of the numberless aspirants

A paper was circulated and signed by
most Of the candidates, by which they
agreed to submit their claims 10 a caucus
Of friends of their own choosing. Each
candidate was to select two delegates.
The "dslsgatesh assembled yesterday
morning at Judge shane's Office to carry
ost the object for which they were Sc.
lected-the coalition Of the two wiDgs
without regard to the gubernstional can
didates. 1t was nice little tea party,
but, somehow or other, they utterly failed
TO reach any plan Of cooperation. The
Stokes meR wanted the lions share and
90 did Senter's supporters. One OF the
delegates declared that be would not by
word or deed, under any eireumstsuce,
abide by the decision Of the caucus. BE
wouldn't" fuse" with any Of them.
