The Nineteenth German Educational Congress
closed June TO- 1t was attended by 5000 school
masters ana schoomstresseS from all parts OF Ger
many, and many able addresses were delivered by
speakers Of both sexes on various subjects con-
nected with education. The chief questions under
discussion were special tscentic) education, normal
schools, religious education in national schools and
the education OF women. On all these questions
resolutions were passed In liberal sense by large
majorities. AS regards the important question Of
religious education the prevalent feeling that
religion, US such, should be taught in national
schools, but that there should be no dogmatc teach
ing-that the principles Of religion IN general ana
not some particular religion, should be taught. II
was also agreed that the education OF girls should
be made compulsory up the age Of sixteen, and
that they should be brought up for various trades
and professions. The education Of girls In converts
was strongly condemned.

notced IN some OF the journals that the National LIB

at the ensuing elections
Whlie speaking Of the elections we should men,
ton that In various parts Of the country the radical

berg this il done under the auspices OF DR.. Johann
Jacoby, the democrat who recommends the refusal
OF means as the only check upon government.
III Welmar II was resolved 10 nominate
such candidates only as should pledge themselves "
the three following measures;-First, reduction OF
three years. military service to one only; second
gradual abolition of all indirect duty, substituting
direct income tax, and third, fees and mileage to
representatives.
You WIN perceive that In the eyes of the conserva-
tives these demands are extravagant, leading, In
their opinion, to anarchy and confusion; nor will
the national liberals the fortschrtt party go
this length. The masses Of the people, however,
are constantly progressing In intelligence especially
In the matter OF taxation, where their most sensitive

From the Cork Reporter, June 25.l
The city last night was again thrown into scene
OF turmoil and disorder, and until midnight the ponce
necessarily occupied In charging on the mob In
the endeavor to dispense them.
Stones were showered upon them, particularly in
tine vicinity of the Coal quay and North Main street.
where the various lanes and alleys afford particular
facilities for escape. Patrick street was Kept COM
paratively clear by the First Royal dragons and
mounted conslabaiory, who swept through 1t at IN
tervals.
The scenes OF violence IN the North Main street
particularly were positively dreadful and presented
the aspect OF guerilla warfare.
IL would appear that the riots have assumed more
the form of fierce and determined opposition OF
authority than disturbances arising from trade
dispute. There Ia still nope entertained that even
the eleventh hour the mob will be deprived Of any
preteXt for rurther disturbance by amicable
settlement being come to between the jOurneymen
tailOrs and their masters A movement in thai
direction has been made at meeting held In Cork
Institution, where the representatives OF the rival
interests assembled in the presence OF the Mayor
ana Messrs. +. Lyons and Cantillon to discuss the
points or difference between them.
