800, 600, 900. Those concerned in tb,
enterprise say it will be pushed
through without delay.
The present adjourned session O
the Supreme Court of the United
States will continue up to the Sd O
December, when it will close, in order
TO be ready for opening the regular
December term on Monday, the 9th
proXimo. 1t was hoped the immense
number of cases on the docket would
be materially lessened by continuing
the present session so long, but very
little to that end has, so far, been &C.
complished.
Hon. +. G.. Spaulding has drawn
from several influential Radical poll
ticians, expressions of opinion on the
question of an early resumption OF
specie payments. They were en-
bodied in letters acknowledging the
receipt OF his Financial History OF
the War" Attorney-Gener Hoar
writes that he thinks a mistake was
made in not getting rid of the paper
currency as Don as the war was over,
and he hopes that Congress will adj
dress itself with courageand cOnstancy
to the solution of the problem Of
specie payments as soon as it meets.
Sumner writes that he believes the
time has come for specie payments.
and he begins to be impatient when
he sees how easily people find excuses
for not accepting it. Horace Nav
nard says that he is not able to see
why the redemption of the currency
in coin has not been done. These ex-
pressiOns are corrOborative Of the re-
ports that a strong effort is to be made
in Congress this winter to appoint an
early day for specie payment.
The New York World says: A geo.
graphical discovery, which will rather
surprise the map publishers, has been
made in the country north of Lake
Superior by a party under Prot. Bell.
which has recently been engaged in
the geological survey of that region.
Lake NipigOn, lying only thirty miles
north of Lake Superior, and hitherto
considered too insignificant to find a
place in any American atlas, is an
nOunced by Prof. Bell to be probably
larger than Lake Ontario or Lake Erie.
He tFaversed about five hundred miles
Of its cOast-line when the approach of
winter, terribly severe in those high
ATTITUDES, forced him and his partv TO
return. This lake discharges its waters
into Lake Superior by the Nipigon
river, a broad and rapid stream, and
is possibly the second if not even the
first in size of the chain of great North
American lakes. That the existence
of such a body Of water upon this con-
tinent, and so near to Lake Superior,
has hitherto remained as unknown as
if it had been situated in the interior
of Africa, is certainly a very remarka-
bic fact.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Gdzettesays: sour pub
lie school system has received its
death-blow. The lOng-expected irrup-
ton of the negroes into our schools
has at last been accomplished, and in
the most offensive manner. With di-
ahOlioal cunning, the most beautiful
and costly edifce devoted to education
in the city was selected, where the
children OF our most respectable citi-
zens are taught. The order for the
admission of a negro into it was issued
by a negro trustee, appointed by the
mayor, PROBABLY Tor that express pur-
pose. 1t is, perhaps, not known abroad
that an adequate school fundexists for
the education of the negroes, distinct
from the whites, and that this fund
was provided by taxes levied almost
exclusively upon the latter. 1t was
under these circumstances that the
hellish determination was formed and
carried out by the Mayor and his ne
gro abettors to force commixture of
thesraces in the schools. The teacher,
though a native of Massachusetts, i'm
mediately resigned, and | suppose the
school will be utterly broken up, and,
in like manner, most all of them be
throughout the District, as l will not
suppose that any white man of the
least respect or regard for his children
will submit to the proposed degrade
ton.
