GIreg1telliqetrte4:
Our Pnblic schools.

To the Rditors Of the IntellIgencer:
As the Board of Education meets this
evening" the promoters Of High School
will probably revive the subject, Hither.
to, on the morning Of the day the Board
met, communication appeared in your
paper strongly advocating the scheme,
when there could be no possible chance
OF reply. 1t is understood majority
of the Board are opposed to the plan, and
that on a square vote upon its merits Il
would he rejected. But some Of the
members who arc so opposed may be ab'
sent from one Of the meetings; then the
friends of tho measure will embrace that
opportunity to put their project through
with rush. ..t a-
Whether the High School scheme will
DO on the taps this evening or not depends
entirely upon the presence or absence Ol
certain members Of the Board.
Considering the enormous school taxa.
ton to which we have been subjected for
some years past, II Is time to pause and
reflect what may be the consequences OF
another outlay for purposes oil doubtful
utility, that will cost the taxpayers $1,000
or $1,000 0 year more, No one Is heard
to advocate this scheme, except those who
are expecting lucrative situations under
II, and they are certainly not the hest
Judges. The people do not want it; the
taxpayers do not want II; then why Is 1t
so persistently forced upon rs In our
public schools, as at present constituted,
the pupils are taught, In addition to the
usual Engllsh branches, History, AnAto-
my and Physiology, Natural Phlloso'
pny, Chemistry, Botany, Astronomy, AL
gebrR, Geometry, and Science Of Govern
menl. II In student desires higher studies
than these, there are plenty OF Colleges
where he can obtain them. | now state
First, If an education In the above
branches may be obtained In our public
schools, a High School isunnecessary Sec
Ond, IfsuCh an education cannot be obtain
cd In our public schools, then the present
principals are incompetent. Take any al
tentative you please, The salary Of the
principals, 81 100 should procure first-class

any Of them are not qualified for the office
then why, in Gods name, Agitate, the
question Of High SchoolY
A question Is also to be sprung tonight
of increasing the number Of lady teachers
in the Grammar Schools. BY examining
the number Of pupils on the rolls In these
schools, II will be seen that such an in
crease Is entirely unnecessary. Fewer
pupilsarc In the Grammar Schools than In
Tho primary departments. The principa!
and ono good lady teacher are amply suf
fcCnL Any more is quite supertluous

CINCINNATI.
The sunday QuestIOn--German Mas
Meeting.

CINCINNATI, August 2,
A large mass meeting of Germans was
held tonight in Greenwood Hall, called
to give expression to the views OF the
German part OF our population who RrG
opposed to the present movement to re.
peal the Sunday laws. Tho hall was
densely crowded; many were compelled
to stand Gad many went away for want
Of room. Much enthusiasm was mani
tested, and speeches were made In Ger
man by prominent German ministers.
Resolutions were read in both German
and English and each loudly applauded
when adopted. The resolutions declare
that they are decidedly opposed 10 the re.
peal of the present benifcent Sunday
laws; that they regard the preservation Of
Sunday us day oGrest, as now guaranteed
to us by law US absolutely necessary to
the moral and physical well being OF the
people, and that the laborer, in any
event, will be sure Of day of rest when
such a day Is set apart by law; that the
principle Of equal rights to which tho Op'
ponents of tho Sunday laws appeal does
not require that each individual should
have the privilege at his option to disturb
the other in his enjoyment ofthe Sabbath
rest and quiet; that the Christian pub.
lie shall have legal protection against all
unnecessary noise and disorder whereby
Sunday quiet and services Of religion
may DO dGstrOyCd; that tho agitation
designed to accomplish the repeal Of tho
Sunday laws Is in harmony with Ger.
man ideas and customs, as in all parts of
Germany there arc Sunday laws, some Of
which are very stringent; that these Ger.
mans, who desire TO lay violent hands on
the Sunday laws, do not represent the
German element. On tho contrary,
thousands of the German speaking fellow
citizens and among them many church
members, desire to sec these laws main.
tained; that the charge of fanaticism
cannot bG applied to the friends of tho
Sunday laws, md that they repcl the
presumption Of the Sunday law Oppo'
ncnis, when they claim 10 be true expo.
nents and representatives Of German
views; that they will not give their vote

, Virginians Some Good Advice.
tF ALEXANDRfa, VA, Aug, 2.
Horace Greeley, who was here on q
visit, delivered an address at the MGtho.
dist Episcopal church this afternoon. The
notice being short, there was not large,
but highly Intelligent audience, composed
principally Of Southern men. Mr.. Gree.
ley said lie thought II desirable to have q
respite from politics this year in anticipa.
tion Of tho grave issues that would have TO
be met next year. Reconstruction had
beGn thought slow, but II had been fast
enough. Had all been agreed six years
ago, II wouldhave been better, because of
the imposition Of light taxes. There
would have been no parties, no fuss,
and no creation Of debt. Tho Southern
people were not prepared to 60 into the
Union at once. From the war the South
had recuperated faster than any other
country ever did before, and faster than
this country after the revolution. Pro.
scription should beset aside. 1fmen who
seeded were represented, they wanted
their first, not their fifth choice Efforts
to dislranchiso tho negroes ought not
to he made. ITe warmly favored the
new departure, saying foreigners could
not bO disfranchised twenty years
ago and how could for millions
OF blacks be dislranchised now; the Dem.
ocracy ought tO accept the Fifteenth
Amendment, and the Republicans would
doubtless advocate removal Of disabilities;
when these questions were passed finance
would claim attention. He argued in fa.
vor Of paying the National debt as soon
as possible, II II only was to keep up the
public credit; Virginia thought too much
Of politics; they should devote their at.
tcntlon 10 thedevclopment of their natural
resources; they had all the resources
Of Pennsylvania, nnd could be equal tC
that State; they wanted wise and active
men. They should have faith IN The
State, and every man should look ioi
more water power, etc., In order 10 make
II and himself useful TO the State.
Mr.. Greeley closed with an eulogy OF
Henry Clay and the policy Of the de
ceased statesman. He was warmly ap
plauded, and most Of those present were
introduced 10 him. ....

The facts in our reports yesterday, of
the alleged poisoning case AT London,

tradiction from New York, are srbstan.
tally correct The Ohio Statesman this
morning, gives some additional partiCu.
lars, IL says; "A man named Thompson,
a arelativeoi Buiilnbarger, was in the city
on Monday in consultation with his lcgnl
advisers, and was advised 10 procure tue
nccessary,papers and proceell immediate:
ly to New York, and procure the nTrest,
Instead Of this however, he expressed his
determination TO return to Madison Co,ln-
ty, and consulthis friends. Nothing has
been heard from him since in this cOnnec-
tion. We should say that instead OF the
requisitiOn being ready since Saturday,
the papers to procure that document,
were ready II Thompson telegragphed to
New York, and received an answer TINT
the arrest had been made, the fact
Is rot known to his Attorney
The parties in this city, who
should bc fully posted, know nothing
of any arrest having been made. II Is,
however, well known that the sister of
Mrs. Colburn bought aticket for Now
York on Monday morning At the Colum'
bus depot. She probably was not aware
Of tho iact that inQuiriDg eyes were cast
over her shoulder at tho tlmo OF the pur'
chase. The story, 30 far as Il regards the
exhumation Of Buiilnberger's body and
the report Of Doctor Wofnlley that poi.
son had been found IN the stomach and
liver, is beyond dispute in this colnmun.
ity The theory Of tue prosecuting party
Is that Bowler's preparation, used for the
complexion among ladies, was the article
used to take the lie Of the aged husband.
1t remains to be demonstrated in q legal
investigation whether the wife admins
tered the poison, always provided that
