TIE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The State Board;of Education, which
has been in session in this city for the
past few days, adjourned yesterday. Its
members have taken themselves to their
respective school divisions, to put the
new school law in full operation. From
the record of its proceedings, we see that
the members mean to make this year one
of marked usefulness in the work to which
they have been appointed. The gentle
men composing the board are all known
to be devoted to the cause Of education.
They have determined to comply with the
law and the constitution under which they
act; and, judging from their rules and
regulations, published in another portion
of this journal. it will be seen that they
mean t o use common sense, as we'll as de-
votion to the law. in discharge of their
duties.
The report Of the Committee on Text
Books, indicates a determination, not only
to observe merit and economy, but also
a compliment to the good men OF our
country who have uniformly supported
the Union men Of the South, who have,
through evil and good report. adhered tc
the old flag.
A noteworthy feature of the pzcceedin 6:
of the board, has been the report Of the
State Treasurer TO Honorable I. ". Con-
way, Safe Superintendent, that there is
now IN the treasury of the State nearly
one hundred thousand dollars with which
to pay teachers. This amount of money,
il. is intended, will pass into the hands OF
the new boards, acting under the present
law regulating public education in this
State, to be used to pay salaries and meet
other necessary expenses.

FUNERAL OF MRS. HOWELL

The remains Of Mrs. Judge Howell we're
yesterday followed to the tomb by a large
concourse of mourning friends, including
the Governor, the Judges Of the Supreme
Court, members of the bar, and other
prominent citizens. The announcement
of the death of this estinable lady yester-
day morning, fell like a shock upon a large
number Of friends, to whom she was en-
deared by her many Christian virtues,
genial disposition and excellent qualities.
She was an exemplary wife and mother,
and a true woman in the noblest sense of
the word. To her afflicted husband and
orphan children, who have thus suddenly
been deprived of the head of their home
circle, we extend our sincere coincidence.
Their loss can never be repaired OF this
earth. The void left by the death of a
mother can never be filled. And when to
| the domestic virtues are added the quail.
ties which embellish and adorn society, as
/ was the case with the deceased, the loss
| is also s. public calamity.

ON STREET,

Yesterday was a busy day in CarondeIet
street Everybody was active, and the
brokers rushed hither and thither, to fill
orders or make sales, which they seemed
to accomplish with little difficulty. There
were more buyers than sellers, and conse-
quently there Yves a general advance
nearly all along the Zine. The great
excitement was in Siaughterhoase, which
opened at so, and changed hands rapidly
throughout the day at that figure. In the
board many hundred shares were sold at
prices ranging from 81 TO 81, and after
the board, the crowd gathered in the
street and kept up O lively traffic for halt
an hour, One gentlemen offered 500
shares Of 80, and the lot was taken up by
the por iy president of the company, who
stood leaning against a lamp post with a
placid air, but an evident eye to the aspects
and exigencies Of the situation. This was
a momentary sumner, but the sellers eoor
recovered from the blow, and let thei,
stock go al BLOB. Yesterdays bushes;
in Slaughterhouse was something WORTH
remembering in the history OF stock spec
ulations in Carondeiet atreet. Whether
the sudden rise from q on Monday, to 81
on Saturday night, is based on any rea'
grounds we shall, probably, soon know.
During the day a slight diversion was
made in levee, and for some time there
was a brisk inquiry, with the result of adj
vancing the price from eight to ten dol
lars. 1t is not known what stimulated
this movement. Nobody seems to know
whether or not there is anything serious
in it.
Gold, too, had its turn for a rise yester
day, and buyers were quite brisk. For the
first time in several weeks it touched IL:
in New York, and is reported to haze an up
ward look. The general causes which have
been contributing to depress gold seen
to have ~measurably exhausted their great
est strength but whether this exhaustion

there can be no doubt but that he Is cor

amount to six hundred and eixiy-three.
being an addition of three hundred and
thirteen; and these staff officers are shown
to be most expensive appendages. In
other words, it is asserted the officers of our
army receive larger pay than is given by
any other government in the world; and
this il shown TO be the reason why thirty
seven regiments in the service Of the
United States cost yearly tAiTty-seven
million dollars.
Ii is high time this whole matter was
looked into properly, and there Is no bet

abuses, as they at present exist in this
branch of the public service, thar by read

CARD.

10 the Editor Of the New Orleans Times:
IN answer to Mr. Thomas a. Si,ieids's card. pub
Nshed in YESTERDAY 8 evening edition OF the Tfmss'
giving his reasons for signing. as president pro
tenn" of the dsf1nct Board of Aldermen. the ordi'
nance disposing of the city's stock IN the Jackson
Railroad. I have to say that his explanation is based
or A PEI VERSION OF THE FACTS AND or TEUTH-
IF Mr. Shields will look at the ofioiai report OF tne
proceedin IS OF the Board Of Abdomen on the night
of March IS. 1870, as published in the then Official
journal of the corporationiNew Orleans Bniietin OF
Thursday, March 81, hs will find
1. That entered the room and took the chair as
president of the board, long before the ordinance to
provide for the sale of the Jackson Railroad stocS'
owned by the city, was called up BIZ Mr.. Poynos
2. That L did occupy tho chair during the debate
on ths ordinance; and
3. That on the vote beihg taken, hessfs- clay,
Peyrot and Psssou voted in the affirmative, MIR.
Hassinger, and myself, still in tae chair. IL the mega
tive, and Messrs. Prados, SHIELDS and Brady nav
ing expressly declined to vote,
Not until AFTER the so-oalled passage oftts ordi-
nan ,e by a minority vote OF three. did Ivacate the
chair, and call Mr.. Shields to it.
1t results from the foregoing that Mr.. Shields Was
NOT President pro tenn. of the Board when tne o.ai-
nance was called up. debated and passed, and that.
consequently, Mr.. Shields had not the shadow OF a
right TO sign it as such.
AS President of the Board of Aldermen. and hav'
ing been in the chair when lie ordinance directing
the sale of the ci;y's stock in the jackson Railroad
was called up. debated and passed, 1 was the only
one authorized by law to sign it

Il is true g. they knew that / would seinse TO sign
il. as / hold that the ordinance was not passed bq
che requisite number OF votes. and that oonse
ausntly it y as and is, null and void.
Mr.. Shields is very well aware of the real facts, az
