A most atrocious hoax was perpetrated yestcr-
day. 1t came in the shape of telegram from
London to the effect that the missing steamer,
the City of Boston, had arrived in Queens
town. Eagerly, joyfully as it was credited, 1t
is now as grievously and wofuly dsproyed
The hoax was cruel and shameful in the last
degree, and. if brought about deliberately, had
in it the spirit of good many murders done
in cold blood. The American Press is untor-
tunatc in having been the victim of more than
one bad Geographic hoax of late. In the
present case, however, it is shown that not
merely the Associated Press agency has been
imposed upon, but likewise the public OF

A telegram from Paris states that Mr.. Hep
peau's report on American education will revo-
lutionize that of France as we hope it will.
Spite of Mr. FOrsters lament that on the rock OF
the Bible the valuable school system of the
United States is laundering" we hope that
similar service will be done for English
education. We might add wish that
Mr.. FOrsters bill did not turn over to
squabbling school boards questions of denomi-
national schools and sectarian teaching, that
he did not compel school attendance in one
place while leaving it voluntary in another.
that he did not make education equally free
in all cases. NJ. Jules Simon in France has
proposed something more to the point at least
than Mr.. Forster's multiform measure:
ARR 1. Primary instruction in every communal school
shall be gratuitOus. Every father or guardian
whose children boys girls between the ages OF six aad
thirteen neither follow the course Of instruction at the
communal nor at free school, shall be obliged to
furnish 70 the municipal council in January OF each year
the proof thatshis children are educated at home.

The speech of Senator Reves of Mississippi,
the coored successor of Jefferson Davis, was
the only event in the Senate yesterday. 1t
had been expected, and an immense crowd as
sembled and attentively listened. 1t was part
of the debate on the Georgia bill, but proved
a general and just eulogy of the cOlored race,
and an appeal for its further protection. The
speech, without being a remarkable one, is not
discredtable to the Senate, where have been
made many less eloquent and intelligent eff
forts Mr. Morton paid the speaker the com
pliment of saying in effect that he was
the equal of his predecessor in intelligence
and his superior in patriotism and loyalty.
There is no doubt of the truth of the latter half
of this opinion, and good reason for wishing
that the other nay prove just. The only objec-
ton to the criticism is that it should have been
uttered at all. 1t has too much that patronizing
air which Injuries alike the one who mtTusivcly
bestOws and the one who is forced to accept it.
The more refined taste was displayed by those
Senators who congratulated the new member
by pressure of the hand.

New jersey finances are not in the mOsl
hourshing condition. and Gov. Randolph, in Il
message to the Legislature, has ntimated that
to sustain the credit and meet the obligations
of the State revision of the revenue system
is demanded. The Governor objects to levy
ing a direct tax upon private capital and prop
erty knowing that the low rate of taxation in
New-Jersey is the chief attraction by which
thousands of overburdened taxpayers of this
city are annually induced to emigrate thither
lie also objects to the increase of the rate OF
taxation already paid by y few corporations;
but strongly advocates the taxing of those now
exempt under special privileges. as, for in
stance, the Camden and Amboy Railroad. A very
snug revenue for q small and economical State
like New-Jersey ought to be paid 10y this mon
strous monopoly. Perhaps if the same privi-
leges now enjoyed 10y the Camden and Amboy
Road were granted to rival line, the State
might reap nearly double revenue, and tray
elcrs be better off than at present. The ex-
pertinent is worth trying.

A ease Of conscience in which Charles Vel

occurred at Milwaukee. Some years ago,
gentleman there was robbed of a 500 bond.
The thief has now sent it back, with the III
formation that it has " layed on his stummuck
ever sense" His reason for taking it was
simple: Il TUX 1t for wanted MUMMY" Ills
reason for not selling it is rather more compli-

spell great deal better than he can, who
might follow the Milwaukee thiefs example.

There are already so many sins of more or
less respectable magnitude, and of such inf
mite variety, that it seems hardly necessary to
invent a new one. This, however, an Indiana
clergyman has done, he having come to the
conclusion that 4" the eating of oysters is SIN
of which nobody but loafers, gamblers, ana
similar characters are guilty" This is giving
the poor bvalves bad name merely, we sus-
pect, for being found in bad company. Why
oysters should have been selected as the promi-
nent esculent of so many temples dedicated to
a bad Bacchus we do not understand. We
have reason to believe that the oyster, con-
sidered in its native purity, is moral she'll
fish, and that its eating has no degrading
effect upon human character, whether it be
cooked or whether it be eaten on its shell.

the " orldly treasure Of each of twcnty-eight
persons operating in or near Wall-st.
A Census should afford some test oil It's accu-
racy by comparison with the City Directory, as
the latter il supposed to embrace the names oil
the admit male residents IA well as of all
Others having regular places of business within
the City, although their homes may be elsewhere.
By examining the first twenty five pages or one
thousand names, found in McConnon's district
of the LIST Ward, Id appears that, OF ga males
twenty-one years of age and upward. - are
found, and 2O2 are not found in Trow's Directory
for 1860. Those acquainted with the usiai
reliability of this publication will be able to
form an opinion as to the probable accuracy OF
the Census.
The Census itself affords, incidentally, test
of itself in the fact, that the day on which the
enumeration is made is given at the top oil
every page. From this it appears that Hogan
entered pages or 40 names to page, or 34O
each day regularly, Oh every day except Sun
DAYS and the Fourth Of July, from the day he
began work until he ended, except on the last
day. when he rested at the end of the fifth
page. This perfect regularity of $40 names, or
So 80 a day, looks suspicious. At least, 1t is
task winch few census-takers can match, ana
none surpass. In the other subdivision, the
work ranged from to II pages a day, the
usual amount being pages.
The entire absence of manufactures OF every
description, the manifest Deficiencies in the re-
turn of deaths and of property, the inclusion
of great numbers of transient persons, and Oh
those claimed as resident whose names do not
appear in the City Directory, and the rate OF
enumeration, all tend TO cast doubt upon the
correctness of the returns, and to justify sus-
pcions that, by the Census of 1860, the popu-
lation Of our City was immensely oyerstated'
