A dispatch from Trenton, N. j., refers to a
curious and important case which has come up
before the Court of Chancery. The German
Valley Railway Company claims that bill to
incorporate that Company, and enable it to
build railroad from New-YOrk to Philadel-
phia, was passed by both Houses of the New
Jersey Legislature, and delivered to the Gov
ernor, March 81; the Governor says the bill
reached him on the 4th April. The question
of date of delivery affects the vitality of the
measure, as the Governors date kills the bill,
he having retained it without giving it official
sanction but the date claimed by the railroad
company gives it life, as it became law by
lapse of the six days required by the COnstitu-
ton. The suit which the railroad company
brings in this case calls the Governor into
Court he refuses to go, claiming that the
Court has no right to inquire into his official
acts or legislative omissions The issue of the
case will have considerable influence hereafter

A CHANCE TO AMEND

Mr.. Greeley has been met in Texas as
he should have been met in New Orleans.
with hearty and generous welcome. All
classes of people testify their respect for
his honesty and ability, and thus disarm
themselves of prejudices and snatch
from the hands of the North the senti
ments of luminosity. 1t will be found. we
think, that Mr.. Greeley will decide here
after that the longer he remained and the
further he travelled in the South the bet
ter he found his road. Breaking the ice
was the main point. The first man he
met gave him the cold shoulder, perhaps
because he could not set the example of
being polite to a gentleman whose status
was not established. We can all shake
hands with the favorite, but it re-
qulres courage to march up and frater-
nlze with stranger whose presence
is not agreeable to the crowd. Mr.. Gree
ley has long been accepted as the enemy
OF the South, and the Southern people
have ever held that he was personally en-
FILTERED against them. At one time il
would not have been safe for him to visit
US. His newspaper was considered in
cendiary and only fit for destruction The
quarrel grew out Of question that was
considered peculiar to ourselves, and the
Southern idea was that Mr.. Greeley dis
cussed an evil of local existence in one
section for the purpose of making capt.
tai for himself in another section. This
idea Mr.. Greeley constantly deprecated
as unfair and ungenerous, and appealed
to the people who entertained it to listen
to the argument which he made in the
North, and they would accept it as
equally forcible in the South. His theory
was intended for the benefit of the entire
country in every sense, and it was
founded on such reason and justice that
the triumph was inevitable He proposed
to reach the conscience of the South
the Southern people might be
brought to that way of thinking which
was best for their every good. He dis

perity of our republic, pursuing its
manifest destiny in greatness and glory,
while their own is showing signs of decay
and decrepitude. They are not jealous
or envious of us, but they are becoming
imbued with the sentiment that they, the
people, should govern, and that taxation
means representation
|, Let the rulers of England look to it,
and take warning from the fate of one of
their kings, who was sent to the block
because he attempted to overtax his sub
Jects, and another who lost his colonies
for the same cause. 1t is question of a
few years, and it may be but few months,
before the democracy of England will be
in power without throne, or any of the
remnants of that government which has
kept them in a state of servility and sub
lection, and ground the faces of their poor
with taxes, oppressive and burdensome,
without a corresponding equivalent of
sharing in the responsibilities of its ap-
preparation.

claimed the right to interfere, but con-
stantly asserted the right to explain.
We refused 70 listen, and COMPOUNDED the
argument with compulsory purpose.
He was accepted as disturber when he
was in truth only preacher.
With the disappearance of the cause of
this animosity, MIR. Greeley was the first
to invite our friendship. He fastened to
demonstrate his interest in the South by
becoming the bondsman of the Southern
leader. And from that time until the
present he has never failed to defend us
where reasonable and honest defense
was capable of being made If he has ar
raigned the South for its faults, that was
not the work of an enemy, but rather of a
protecting friendship. We have faults,
and glaring ones, that are self-confessed
and often deprecated. To cure these by
any and every means was not more the
duty OF those who committed them than it
was OF those who read about them. The
Tribune did confine its demands for reform
to the South, but it fercely upbraided
New York itself with evils of great magni-
tude, and insisted that error and wrong
should be extirpated with a strong hand.
whether committed by the Ku-Klux in
South Carolina or the roughs in the Bow
cry. As the exponent of law and order,
he is equally detested by the rowdies of
every section of the country.
The invitation which was extended to
him from Texas to visit that State is the
first response which the South has ever
made to his overture of reconciliation.
We say reconciliation because there was a
time when Mr. Greeley, as the great organ
Of the Wing party in the North, had
thousands of friends among the people of
the South. And it is not venturing any
doubtful prediction to say the time will
come again when our people will feel a
kindly interest in his labors and in his
life He is a humanitarian, and wher
ever the sentiment of our common broth
erhood exists, the man who loves his
race and serves his country will be greatly
mourned for in his distress.
As we said, the longer Mr.. Greeley re-
mains in the South the better he will be
esteemed. The chill which embarrassed
his entry among those who were violently
prejudiced against him. having been
broken, the people who at first halted
whether to take his hand will march in
solid column to offer their esteem and re-
spect to the man who has wrought out
name and power so wonderful from such
lowly fortunes as accompanied Horace
Greeley to New York. New Orleans kim

At length it subsided--more and more
almost to silence.
We have heard the music of great
maestros, rendered by artists of world
wide fame; but never did we hear music so
thrilling and SO sweet as that which at
length swelled up from the firemen who
had been combating the destructive ele-

told that the work was done and that
danger was past.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS,

An opinion has recently been delivered
by Judge Howell, of the Supreme Cour
of this State, sustaining the decision O
the Eighth District Court in the matte
at issue between the City Board of Schoo
Directors and the Mayor and Administra
tors of the city of New Orleans. 1t viii
be recollected that about the first work
the City Board of School Directors under.
took, after they had organized, was the
ascertainment of the amount of funds
necessary to conduct the public schools
of the city for the current year. The sum
required for this purpose was found to be
about three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. The law authorizing the estab-
fishing of public schools makes it the
duty of the school board to report the
required sum to the Board of Admins
traitors, who are instructed by the law ''to
levy, at such time as they may deem
necessary, the amount on the taxable
property of the city, and direct
the same to be collected by them in the
manner and at the time deemed most de-
sirable, but the time shall not exceed six
months from the date of their notification
of the amount required" The Board of
Administrators denied the validity of this
law, and refused to make the levy on the
taxable property of the city necessary to
raise the three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars required to meet the current ex-
penses of the public schools, and the
Board of School Directors petitioned the
Eighth District Court for writ of man.
damus to compel the Mayor and Admins
traitors of the city to do it. After full
hearing of the case in the Eighth District
Court, Judge Dibble decided not to grant
the writ asked for by the Board of School
Directors, and an appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court of the State
The whole matter has been reviewed
there, and after mature deliberation
Judge Howell delivered an opinion
the judgment of the lower
court, and adversely to the levying of the
tax of three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for the support of the public
schools OF this city, as asked for by the
Board of School Directors. The opinion
Of Judge Howell is no doubt good one
BASED upon law. Able counsel was
employed to intelligently argue and de-
ermlne the matter at issue; and since the
highest Judicial authority known to the
state has pronounced the position taken
" the Board of Administrators correct.
nd that they are prohibited by law ''from
ewing any tax upon the property situa-
ed in the said city listed for taxation to
greater amount than two per centum of
be cash value thereof, and that there
ave already been levied upon said
roperty taxes to the amount of two and
ve-elghths per centum of the value
hereof, and that further taxation can
OF be had unless by a vote of the citizens
ltitled to vote, why let us hope that this
purse will be taken. 1t is the only one
DIV open to the friends of public educa-
on. A vote of the people has never vet
lied in this country to sustain system
public schools, and the party that
ould attempt to change this now would
rtainly saddle a responsibility upon
self that would render it most unpopu-
with the masses of the people
