Mr. ED.-The committee appointed by
the Board Of Directors Of the Morrisville
Academy and Gnaded School have atten-
dcd to the task and find the general av-
crage of all their marks in each of the
classes to be ISL on scale from Is to
20. In mathematics, all the questions to
be wrought or answered were drawn, and
we're put upon the board or answered
without reference TO books. In mathe
mates, if there was failure, the scholar
could draw again, and the scale was
frcm 10 to Is. 1t will be seen by these
marks that the general average of the
school was quite satisfactory. The rhetor-
ical exercises in the evening, indicated as
much culture as could be reasonably cx-
pectcd from scholars so young. The mu.
sic was fine. II. HERRICK, J

The census returns OF twenty-eght
States have been published, and show that
the relative order of the States as to pop
ulation has not been changed greatly since
1860. Virginia, by the loss Of the terri
tory forming West Virginia, has fallen
from the fifth to the tenth State, and its
position is occupied by Missouri but New
York still holds the first, and Pennsylva.
MA the second place. After these come
Ohio, with a population of 2,675, 1853; H.
linCis with 2, 540,216; Missouri with /
703, 900; Indiana with sos, 1863 Mas
sachusetts with l,457,3s5; Kentucky
with |, 1923, 264 Tennessee with 1853
326; Virginia with l,209,607; Georgia
with 1885, Michigan with lisa.
Iowa with 1,177,5l5; North Carolina
with l,072,000; Wisconsin with l, O52,.
266; aud Alabama with 1902 000.-
There are now sixteen States with pop
ulation of over one million, while in 1860
there were only eleven. The largest act
ual gain in any State is an increase of
$1,000 in Illinois. We judge from a
comparison of these returns, that the to-
tai population of the country will fall a
little short of 10000, 0O0.-Free Press.

The December Term of the Lamoile
County Court commenced its session here

New-York tribune., 1870-06-01
n-HO rs TAINTED FOR COLLECTOR.

Some time ago THE TRIBUNE announced
that Mr.. Thomas Murphy was an industrious
candidate for the place of Mr.. Grinnell, as
Collector of the Port of NewYOrk. 1t is now
reported through many sources that a change
is almost certain to be made within
few days; and that Mr.. Murphy
and Judge Robertson of Westchester divide
between them the chances of the succession.
We have expressed no opinion as to these pro-
posed changes, nor do we purpose, at present,
to do so. A number of gentlemen from New
York, with less confidence in Gen. Grants
ability to dispose of the question satisfactorily,
are reported as in Washington or on their way
thither, TO seek to affect the decision. Among
them, of course, are to be found those who helped
to sell out the Republican party to. the
Democracy at Albany last Winter, and those
who hold the rewards of such service in the
shape of offices from Tammany Hall. These
gentlemen may live to thank us for sugges-
ton Gen. Grants military experience has
taught him, when in search of information, to
apply at headquarters. When he wants the
counsel of Tammany, he is likely to apply to
VIM. NJ. Tweed or Peter B. Sweeny,-nOt to
their bogus-Republican hirelings.
AS to the rumored changes, we have at pres
ent nothing to say. But we may without i'm
propriety, give some general indications of
what the Republicans of New-York want and
expect, in the event of a change.
l. They want man qualified by training,
executive capacity, answering integrity, and
knowledge of business and of men, to admin
lister this great Office so as to protect the busi
ness interests of the community, and the rev.
enues of the Nation; man who will prevent
frauds, break up smuggling, abolish sinecures,
retrench wherever retrenchment is possible,
enforce economy and attention to duty ; and,
in short, conduct this most important business
Office on business principles.
Q. They want Republican of known andproved
strengthened place-hunter, but strong man
of the party, fit to be entrusted with one of
its most influential and responsible posts.
The office of Collector of the Port has in times
past been deemed worthy of our best men.
We never had greater occasion to insist upon
the services of such an incumbent than now.
II is not a time for putting forward third
rates.
3. The people Of New-York, while not in
sisting upon political considerations as OF the
first importance in case like this, do insist
that the man to be chosen, if change be
thought desirable, shall be representative of
the earnest Republicanism that elected Gen.
Grant-not q mere spokesman or tool of either
of the miserable cliques that disgrace and de-
feat the party in this city, and not Tammany
Republican.
We do not believe that Gen. Grant will act
hastily or unadvisedly. Ii he has decided
New-York tribune., 1870-06-01

We don't find fault with the Senate for ta-
bling the bill which passed the House for the
incorporation of the American Union Academy
"of Literature, Science, and Art" There was
no great force in the objections of Mr. Sumner
Cd That the title is too high-sounding; and
(2) That in selecting this title the American
Academy invited comparison with the French
Academy. A deeper objection to the measure
might be found in the scientific, literary, and
artistic reputation of the persons who were
named as incOrporators. There were unques-
tiOnably few good names, but there were also
the names of many who had no proper claim
to appear in any such place.
New-York tribune., 1870-06-01

We know of no objection to the citizenship
treaty with England, now before the Senate
lis vital principle is, that British subjects who
may be naturalized as American citizens shall,
under all circumstances, he entitled to the
same rights, privileges and immunities from
the British Government as native-bOrn Ameri-
can citizens. BY this treaty Great Britain gives
mp the old doctrine of "Once a citizen always
ga citizen;" and the presentation of the treaty
to our Government has been delayed for some
time in order that Parliament might adopt
such legislative measures as would bring Brit
ish laws into conformity with the principle of
the treaty The protocol was negotiated at the
instance of Secretary Seward by Reverdy John
son, during the short period in which he was
our representative at London, and the Senate
assented to this protocol Immediately after it
was submitted last year. 1t will be remem-
bercd that Mr.. Bancroft negotiated treaties of
a similar nature with Prussia and Bavaria last
year, and the Senate promptly ratified them.
The establishment of this citizenship treaty
with Great Britain will prevent such dangerous
disputes as we have had in past times about
the rights and privileges of British-born sub
jects naturalized as American citizens.

"were often thwarted by the conduct of our
Gown people, the encroachments of land specu-
"latOrs and the lawless conduct of our from
"tiersmen;" but yet these efforts were never
relaxed during the forty years in which he had
actual relations with Indian affairs. In his
speech before Congress in 179l President
Washington expressed his earnest desire that
there might be no further need of coercion
toward the Indians, and he urged rs means Of
attaching them to the Government, That they
should experience the benefits of an Impair
:" tial dispensatOn OF justice; that the mode OF
alternating their lands, the main source ~ dis
content and war, should be so defined and
regulated as to Obviate imposition that
commerce with them should be promoted
under regulations tending to procure an
equitable department toward them, and that
"suCh rational experiments should be made
"fOr imparting to them the blessings of ciyii-
"zatiOn as may from time to time suit their
" condition; that the Executive of the United
Estates should be enabled to employ the
"means for uniting their immediate interests
in the preservation Of peace; and that eff
"caciOus provisions should be made for inflict-
"ing adequate penalties upon all those who,
"by violating their rights, shall infringe the
"treaties and endanger the peace of the
"Union.r
In another speech a year later he recon-
mended to Congress the adoption of measures
for restraining the commission OF outrages
upon the Indians, "withOut which" said he,
call pacific plans must prove nugatOry." lie
reiterated this opinion and these ideas over
and over again, year after year, both as a
soldier and statesman. The burden OF his
discourse on this subject always was: Protect
the Indians against outrages; secure them
justice and fair dealing; take steps for their
gradual introduction to civilized habits and
ways of life; and let these desirable ends be
effected upon the "mild principles of religion
"and philanthropy" AS Mr.. BrunOt very
Justly says, it seems as though Washington's
language ard ideas concerning the Indian
question had been called forth by the events
of the past few months, and addressed to the
American people to-day They were certainly
never more applicable than at the present
time and are well worthy of consideration by
the President and his subordinates.
New-York tribune., 1870-06-01

1t is particularly refreshing to find Mr.. Will
liam NJ. Tweed engaged in practicing charity
and good works, instead of indulging in the
more familiar labors of levying taxes and
stuffing ballot-bOxes We did not dream for
moment that any portion of the misappied
millions of the public funds of New-York
would ever be directed, by the charitable hand
of the real ruler of the city, to the relief of
the misguided Fenians on the border. They
are to be returned to New-York, we are told,
at the expense of Mr.. Tweed-dear old Mr..
Tweed! But even as we congratulate our
selves that all virtue is not extinct, comes the
dreadful suspicion that in the end it will be
the taxpayers on whom the burden of this
special charity of generous Mr. Tweed will
foil
