the sixteenth, as follows:

LOCAL MATTERS.

The Greea-Eyed Monster at Woyk.-An
interesting case was tried this morning,
before Justice Royster, of the Police Court.
Two daughters of the Emerald Isle, one of
whom is well to do in the world, were up
on cross warrants to answer for assaultlng
and batei,ag each other. The cause of the
difficulty, originated in the idea that the
husband of one of the party, was rather too
fond of the other. Sunday night matters
were brought to crisis by the aforesaid
husband getting drunk and being found in
the house making love to the one, who
boasts no lord. The lady, while engaged in
entertaining the husband was visited by the
wife, who Immediately commenced business
by telling her to detiad herself, whereuponl
she put herself in position, but received
several well directed blows from the en-
ragged wife, bringing her to grass. An old
negro man who witnessed the fray, was put
upon the stand, as witness, but fearing the
wrath of both contestants "clarcd fore
God" he was ignorant of the whole trans
action. The justice was left to decide the
case upon interested testimony, which he
did by fining the married lady $3.50, and
discharging the one, who had had both eyes
knocked into one.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE ON THE
POTOMAC.

On the good steamer lronsides last eve
ming, we narrowly escaped running down
large sloop. The darkness was intense, and
a heavy fall of rain taking place at the time.
A timely flash Of lightning revealed the
presence of the vessel, just in time to ena-
BILE the pilot.t to shift his helm trifie. We
passed within ten feet of her, under full
headway. The sloop had no light out, and
Captain Freeman informs us that it is not
uncommon for vessels to lay in the path OF
the steamers on this route, without lights.
He states, also, that in q recent case tried at
Baltimore, where the company's boat had
run down vessel that, as proved, showed
no lights. The court compelled the steam
er to pay sls, 1000 dmnagelto the owners.
If this is law, evidently the laws ought to
be amended, and if it is bad execution of
good laws, somebody should be punched
with very sharp stick.
The captain who recklcssly endangers the
lives Of his own men, and that Of the travel
ling public, by travcrsing the river at night
without lights, and especially who Keeps in
the we'll known track of the mail-boats,
ought to be punished with fines and inn
prisonmcnt, besides being responsible in
damages. The Aqua Greek steamers
furnish to the traveller a delightful rest from
the dust, heat, and confinement Of railroad
travel. s{ ise as4 sss ss
They are always prompt to time, and II
properly protected in their right OF way,
can make their trips even in the densest fog
without delay. Their officers are models
of genial courtesy. Everybody who rides
on their boats, looks back with pleasant
thoughts to the magnificent scenery, cool
fresh breezes, and the pleasant companion
ship of the trip. These hours the Po'
tomac constitute one of the most delightful
episodes of travel between the North ano
South.
Why company, which furnish thes'
| fine and well-managed steamers and makes
its patrons so comfortable, in all respects
in transit from Richmond to Washington
should be embarrassed by hostile legisla
ton or unfriendly administration, we ar
at loss to discover. We trust tn
matter will receive umprejudiced attention
at the hands of the authorities. Let care

property by sailing without proper lights

general Government to take such action as
will lend to mitigation of the evil grow
ing out of the neglect to furnish all children
with common school education, not only
in the late slave States but even III many Of
the Northern States where the advantages
and necessity Of the education of the masses
is so universally admitted.
1t is proposed on one hand, that the
States should be left, each to work out its
own problem of general education, without
interference on the part of the general gov
ernment, or aid aside from grants of public
lands.
On the other hand it is held that Ma
tional School Law should be passed. by Con-
grcss providing for the establishment and
maintenance Of common schools throughout
every State and Territory. If the proposed
constitutional amendment is adopted, a
National School Law will follow as a natu-
raj consequence and no objection that 1t
was unconstitutional could then be urged.
No doubt Congress might pass such law
in the absence of another constitutional
amendment but it would hardly have that
weighty and controlling influence and would
be subject to repeal whenever an adverse
majority might obtain power, whereas,
should the constitutional amendment be
adopted, the question would be permanent
ly settled as long as the government exists
MORE ACTION NEEDED. n
II an examination is carefully made Of
the statistics with regard to education IL
the different States, the need of something
more being done for the education OF the
children in the country than has been done
some more thorough and effectual steps
taken, will be very apparent. n
The subject is one Of such vital impor
lance, that it demands the close attention
and the united and persevering action, o
every friend of Republican government
every enlightened patriot, every earnes
philanthropist in the land.
There should be no relaxation of effor
until this important question is settled, ant
settled right, without peradventure, Sc
cured beyond the possibility of repeal.
