IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL. BILL.
One OF the most important bills brought
in to-day was that of Mr.. Prosser, Of Ten
nessee. It transfers to the Bureau Of Ed
ucation all school funds held in trust for
Indian tribes, and also the school mon
eys, books, records, etc. of the Freedmen's
Bureau, and looks 70 aid by the General
Government in establishing free schools
throughout the country. The Commits
sioner Of Education is to have power to
make inspections, call for reports and re-
quire a collection of statistics, with view
Of reaching some accurate knowledge
about our school affairs. The bill appropri-
ates s2,200, 900. Any district or section
requiring aid must furnish half the
amount Of money wanted, and then the
Government will give The other half
HOAR's CASE.
A Senator from New England, who is
himself fine lawyer, and a friend OF
Judge Hosr, but who opposed his confir-
nation on the ground of locality, in a
conversation with him last week informed
MIN that he could not vote for his con-
firnaation, for the reasons which he stated
10 the Eenate in Executive session. He
informed Judge HOar that he was willing
TO waive the point that be was from New
England, provided he would make his
residence in the circuit. This Mr.. Hoar
would not agree TO. He said he did not
intend 70 reside in the South, even if he
was confirmed. Under these circum-
stances the Senator said he could not vote
Tor his confirmation.
A CONVENTION OF ASSESSORS.
In view Of the importance attached 10
the assessment Of incomes this year, and
sn o-der 70 obtain the most thorough and
prsetiesl canvass Of the districts through
out the coi.utry, Commissioner DelanO
Gss decided 10 a, wise the Assessors to call
at the earliest practicable moment con-
vent:on ofthe Assistant Assessors Oftheir
districts for The purpose Of determining
the most efficient method Of accomplish
ing this result. He further recommends
this meeting OF the Assessors and the As
sistant Assessors Of the several districts,
that, 10y an interchange Of opinions, they
may profit by the general experience of
the revenue officers in different parts Of
their respective districts.
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
The recent publication rejecting upon
the motives Of the Republican Senators
who voted against impeachment and as
serting that money was used to procure
acquittal, has aroused feeling Of indig-
nation on the part Of those who thus voted.
These would be glad to see full reyela-
tion made Of all the secret history Of the
Impeachment trial. II is said that such a
disclosure would disgust and startle the
country far more even than the known
acts Of the impeachers at the time. It
may be safely predicted that if Mr.. Sum-
rer and his associates shall ask for a COM
Enittee of investigation, with the examina-
ton TO be conducted publicly, the propo-
sition will be supported on the Demo-
q. ratic side and by those Republicans who
~, ed for acquittBl; but no such PROPOSE /
ton Is expected from Mr.. S1mner, or
from 'e1. Butler, the latter of whom is
said TO ifaN'e presented 3 budget Of gar
hled testi.uol1y TO Congress on this sub
iect. The boot. in CAGE Of an inyestiga-
fion. might be found on the legs Of some
Of the impeachers themselves.
