At the meeting Of the Common conaci1,
on Monday evening, an Alderman stated
that, at future day, he should show that
the Common Council, and not the Board Of
Education, we're responsible for all the az
penditures of money for school pu1poses-,
We suppose the showing will be some
thing in this wise That the Board of Edn-
cation recommended certain expenditures
to the Council that the Council 1efe11ed
them to the Committee on Schools that
the Committee on Schools approved the
recommendations of : the Board
Of Education, and that there
upon, the Council approved the
Recommendation Of the Committee on
Schools, and SO the thing WIS done. The
proposed statement will probably show that
NE common Council, reposing trust in the
Board Of Education and the Committee on
Schools, are, in that way, responsible for the
expenditures In order that thew might
not be misled in the future as in the past
By wasteful and improvident recommends
tons, the Council, On the same evening,
made several important changes in the
composition Of the body from which these
, 1870-05-18

The strike which commenced among the
IaSal1e coal miners on the first of April,
/ still continues. The number of men who
have thus put themselves out of employ
ment is about Ave hundred. One of the
consequences Of the strike has been the
closing Of the zinc and glass works of La
Sale, whereby some two hundred more
mel, have been thrown out Of employment.
Thus the most important industries of the
place have been suspended for period Of
nearly two months, and business IN IaSalle
is severely paralyzed
The strike had its origin in resolution
Of the mining companies to pay the miners
monthly instead Of mi-monthiy. Monthly
payments nre the custom in Pennsylvauia
and Ohio, and, in fact in nearly all the
coal districts of the country, and we're
formerly the custom in the LaSalle mines.
The companies allege that, as they only re-
ceive pay from their customers monthly,
and, as they are not working the mines at
profit, they cannot pay their hands every
two weeks; but they announced TINT they
would pay any man his wages whenever his
necessities required, regardless of the rule
established for monthly payments. As the
case now stands. theloss caused By the strike
falls almost exclusively upon the miners,
since the dull season of the tod trade has
commenced, and the companies would
hardly be able to mike any profit between
now and the LIST Of September, even if they
were at work.

CITY AND COUNTY.

In the new constitution, the first section
of the article on counties, as it passed the
convention, contained provision that
cities containing over zoo, 900 inhabitants
might beerectedinto separate counties, But
this clause was stricken out when the arh-
Gle came to be sngrossed- The reason for
striking It out was this: It restricted such
new county to the corporate limits Of the
city. The provision applied only to Chi
cago, and, if Chicago should be erected into
a new county, she would not have a mile Of
suburbs OF rural districts within her limits,
outside of her corporate bounds, It might
be advisable, some time, to erect new
county consisting of the city Of Chicago
and half dozen Of the adjoining town
ships, IN which thousands of Chicago farni-
lies arc residing; but it would be bad
policy, in every point Of view, to strip the
city Of all its suburbs and make a separate
county Of the territory within the then coz
porate limits. AL the future growth Of the
city outside Of the area erected into new
county, would belong to, and be under the
control OF, the adjoining counties
Since the new constitution has made pro-
vision: for abolishing the Board of Super
Tiso1s, and for securing the control of
county affairs by the city, the necessity for
q new county has ceased. Section Of the
ar6cleon counties reads: "The county
affairs Of Cook County shall be managed BY
a Boatd Of Commissioners of fifteen per
SONS, ten Of whom shall be elected from tho
city Of Chicago, and five from towns out
side d snid city, in such manner rs may be
provided by law"
It vii be seen that these Commissioners
nay ID be elected on general ticket, OF
separately, or the city may elect its tan
Commissioners, and the county its five; and
that tley may be elected for one, two, or
three years, as the Legislature shall direct.
So, alao, they may be elacted on the system
of "iotality repressn|| ||ahon,"' if that b.
deemed advisable At an events, the e1-
listing unwieldy board of SIXTY members
VIII be reduced to one quarter that num-
ber, and it is to be hopea that the material
Of the membership viii be improved IN the
inverse proportion. Hereafter, 1t will be
in the power of the peoph Of this county to
secure Board Of Commissioners both
willing and competent to manage properly
and honestly the fiscal affairs of this great
county.

Two old peopic, man and wife, named

hoa5ded P@oasessiona @ to one M1ly Sanders, for

fact, tho old gentleman, Mr. Goode. had

gold, in the preRencs Of this man Sanders.
Last Wednesday morning planters living on
the hliHsiaaippi side Of the zivor, seeing no
one about nr. Goodies hbuse, no. accustomed

Goode's kitchen, and observing the uneasiness
OF the cattle about the stables, crossed over
to the island and soon discovered the terrible

that Sanders and an unknown man, often seen
with him OF late, are tho aasasHfns and rob

Sanders supposed associate in crime only
landed on the Island from a steamer few
DAYS ago. He has been Arrested, and will
probably hang. unless he can give some salts

him to do this fearful deed, or aid in its exc

A despatch in our columns, yesterday.
from Des Moines, Iowa, intinates that the
friends of Hon. John A. Kasson, who is a
candidate for Congress in that district, have
'sforced the call Of the Republican con-
Tention two months before the people we're
ready for it. If this be true, it shows that
Mr. Kasson is a formidable candidate.
Whatever the facts may be, We wish to say
that'no inference is to be drawn from our
Des Moines dispatches that we favor either
of the contestants rs against the
other: MI: Kasson represented the
Des Moines :. District in Congress 5
during two or three terms and acquired
considerable distinction among the mem;
bers from the Northwest, and, if he desires
to be candidate ngaiu, there is no reason
why he should not go before the people
and have ga fair field and no favor" We
presume that our correspondent ut Des
Moines feels some interest in the success
af some other candidate, as he certainly
has right to. We hare no interest in
either Or any of them.
