LONDON, July 21.-Al the papers of
to-day contain editorials on the subject of
the cancellation by royal warrant, of the
act of legalizing the Purchase of army
commissions.
The Times says the act of the Ministers
sbolishing the system of purchasing army
commissions by royal vibrant is ViOleI
wrench of the constitute Oh, and wanton
setting aside of the will of the House of
Lords. The Times regrets that his grave
Issue has been raised, but expresses a
hope that the Lords viii, in their future
action, think Of the effect or the officers
Of the army, rather than the indignity 10
their own privileges.

WASHINGTON.
The new Lean.


WASHINGTON, July 21.-The records in
the Treasury Department show that up
TO yesterday sixty-seven millions of the
! new funded loan had been subscribed.
This saves the Government Treasury an
annual interest of six hundred and seven
ty thousand dollars. Should Boutwell,
expend one years interest in placing this
loan on the market he will then receive
saving interest of six hundred and sew
enty thousand dollars annually for nine
years, therefore the statements that the
Government would sustain loss by the
loan are incorsiderste and erroneous.
A letter received from Gen. Spinner,
dated Berlin, July 1st, says that ne is to

THE COMMON SCHOOL FUND.

We last Friday had the pleasure of
a call from Judge Chadwick, Seoreta-
ry of State, who Is on q tour through
out the State, making an examination
into the condition of the school fund
which is on deposit in the several
counties. From him we learn with
pride that the school fund in Linn
county is q much larger sum than in
any other county in the State-it ap-
proaching nigh unto Ninety thousand
douarsi He also says that the secu--
rites of Capt. Shields, the custodian
of the finds in Linn county, are the
very best, and that in every respect
the funds are in the most fiattering
condition possible. 1t is a source of
great pleasure to us to. be able to
chronicle this gratifying fact, when
we consider that the fund in our coun-
ty is SO very large and the consequent
responsibly upon our party SO very
great; and also when we consider
that the school fund in many other
counties has heretofore been in such a
deplorable condition.
We learn from Judge Chadwick
that the entire irreducible fund in the
State Will probably approximate near
ly a half million of dollars, and that it
might have been much greaterif prop
erly managed under the Gibbs and
Woods administrations. He has found
upon dilligent inspection, that in many
counties in the State agents in whose
hands the funds were deposited were
wholly irresponsible or were backed
by bad securities /; that in many in
stances the custodians of the fund
were incompetent to intelhgently per-
form the duties devolying upon them;
that the accounts of the fund were
kept in miserable manner, and that
in many instances the custodians
could give no ineligible exhibit
when called upon to do So. In other
instances the funds were loaned out
to irresponsible parties for the purpose
of making political capital and conse-.
quent loss was sustained. In other
cases the interest on loaned accounts
had been permitted to run until it was
wholly uncollectable, and thus both
principal and interest sacrificed. Par
ticularly in the reign of Woods, May
d Co. was the school fund kept in a
miserable condition, and it will re-
quire the most dilligent labor and re-
search on the part of our. present
State Board of School Commissioners
to straighten out the fund and put it
upon a secure basis. We are salts
fed. however, that the indefatigable
energy and perseverance of Governor
Grover, Secretary Chadwick and
Treasurer Fleischner.w twill render them
equal to the emergency and that no
effort or time will be spared in seeing
that this highly important matter is
attended to in the most faithful man.

A FAMILY MUss.

The Bulletin and Oregossian have
heretofore been an exceedingly happy
family. They have for several months
past kept up a sort Of mutual admire
tion society, the ostensable object Of
which was to malign and traduce the
Herald and to make Republican CAPT
tai; but a rupture has occurred in the
happy family on the question of the
New York riot, and the Bulletin of
last Tuesday secedes from the com
pact and excoriates the Oregoniaa in
the following extract which we, take
from an editorial in the former jour
nal. It is severe, but is unquestion.
ably deserved and truthful to re-
markable degree: ''.7 '''.s'.
Republicans last year censured ex-
Governor Gibbs for an unhappy slip
of the tongue he made in regard to
the Irish at public meeting just be-
fore the election. because it was calcu-
lated to drive Irishmen from the sup
port of the Republican ticket. But
the remark of Governor Gibbs was as
milk is to vitriol in contrast to the
persistent, unfair, intolerent, proscrip-
tive, and actually malignant assaults
against the great body of Irish born
citizens which have been given edito-
rally in the Republican organ in this
city daily since the news FIRST reached
here of the riot in New York, and the
consequence of these attacks will very
naturally be to cause the Irish adopted
citizens to cast their votes against the
party whose chief organ can find no
other terms in which to speak of them
than such bitter and sweeping denun-
ciation of all of their race of faith
We know of no small number of vo-
ters who are of Irish birth, that have
within year or two acted in good faith
with the Republican party-and they
are men who seek neither Office nor
political favor,-who will long hesi-
tate before they will again vote that
ticket, and they have been forced to
this attitude solely because of the
very wanton and utterly one-sided
and maleyolent assaults of the Repub.
lican organ here in the manner we
have instanced. z tFs-H
