IMPORTANT SUIT COMPROMISED.


We learn that the suit of the United
States VS.. The Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, which has been pend
ing since November, 1859, in the Circuit
Court Of the United States at Nashville,
has been compromised. The Railroad
Company pays to the United States one
million Of dollars in the bonds of the Com
pany, bearing four per cent interest and
running twenty and forty years. The
amount in controversy was about 81, 750,-
600, and was the amount claimed by the
Government for rolling stock, material and
Improvements which the road received
during and at the close of the rebellion.
The Government settled the case under
authority of a joint resolution passed by
Congress at its last session, which gave to
the War Department and counsel employ
ed in the cause-Hon. A. f. Perry and
Stanly Matthews, of Cincinnati, Ohio
power to compromise upon the basis of
equity and Justice.

LATEST advices from Corea show that
Admiral Rodgers, after h=::5f respite, re-
newed the attacks upon the Corean forts.
A correspondent of the New York Herald
says of it: The gunboats Monocacy and
(Pales, with four steam launches, well
equipped with marines and artillery, started
up the river to reconnoitre the enemy's
preparation for defence early in June.
They had proceeded about ten miles from
the mouth of the river when they were
fired upon by two Corean forts.
The fire wounded two ofour men, whose
names l have not been able to ascertain.
"A broadside was Immediately returned
from all the vessels on the reconnaissance,
and sharp interchange of compliments
ensued. A note, signed by the chief coun-
sellorof the King, was sent to our boats by
asingle messenger during the firing, in
which it was stated that the Coreans re-
fused to hold any intercourse whatever
with foreign nations, and that the crew of
the American ship General Sherman were
put to death under the laws Of the land be-
cause they were guilty of piracy and MUIR
der after they had been shipwrecked.
Our vessels returned to their anchorage
after receiving this letter and taking as
clear survey of the works as possible un-
berthe circumstances.
Admiral Rodgers nov. awaits further in
structions from Washington.

Heretofore, in making up Democratic
states, Indiana has been inverrably put
down as certain for Democratic majority.
Daniel w. VOORHEES,, the grand Mogul of
INDIANA Democracy, doesn't regard it in
that way. He was never known to refuse
an office when he could get it, and the fact
of his announcing his intention to retire to
private life, is sufficient indication that
he regards Democratic victory there as

THE EMPLOYMENT OF TEACHERS.

We have more than once attempted to
impress the import ance of employing none
but competent persons to teach in our free
schools which we hope to see in success
full operation soon. We doubt not but that
every one who has ever given the matter q
moments thought will agree with us as to
the importance of what we suggest. But,
while men agree almost universally, there
is, and has been degree Of carelessness
displayedin regard to this matter that has
been most disastrous in its results. There
are hundreds of men in the world who are
willing to undertake to teach for the mon
ey, who have no just conception of the i'm
-portant duties devolving upon them. They
think if they can attend school and go
through the routine Of hearing recitations
they have done all that is expected of
them. They manifest the most supreme
indifference as to the welfare or progress
of their pupils. FBa BHaIfsBBTE-
They are in no way fitted for planting
ideas in the minds of the young. which
will prove useful to them when they get to
be men and women. A teacher, whose
HIGHEST ambition is to receive the pay pro
s;yided for him, is not fit to be'trusted with
SO important task, as that ofcontributing
to the formation of character for the rising
generation These, in our opinion are i'm
portant considerations for the government
of those who areentrusted with the duty of
employing teachers in free schools

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.

gFllNBrl III III rTTT-7 ! aHEtN
The Civil Service Commission, after a
brief session. in Washington, has adjourned
to meet again in October. The cause of
ssadjourning, it is understood, was to give
2 the Attorney General OF the United States
an opportunity Of preparipg his opinion as
to a grave constitutional question which
met Them at the very threshold of their
work. 1t is, as to the power of vestiDg in
the President the privilege of appointing
~ clerks and subolsdinates, privilege now
exercised by the heads of Departments.
If the Attorney General holds that the
President can made such appointments the
Commission will present a recommends
ton for a system of competitive eXamina-
tions and vest in the appointing power the
srrigbtsto. remove from Office without as
signing cause.
While in session the Commission exam
as ined thoroughly tllei condition of the civil
service IN the Departments, and from the
Boston Adve}ti8er we learn Mr.. Curtis and
%, Mr.. Cattell, after a personal inspection of
the system of examinations and appoint
nients in the treasury department, confess
ed that reform they did not dream of
had been going on, that they found the law
of 1853 honestly enforced, and that if the
system itself was detective the manner in
which it was enforced left little to be de-
sired. The system adopted varies in diff
ferent bureaus, and is greatly deficient in
some of them But as rule it will un-
questicnably appear, when the commits
siohers make their report, that the depart
ments are in much better condition than
has been REPRESENTED, and that the reforms
to be made must he rather with reference
to abuses which may arise hereafter, under
an administrator less wise and efficient
than the present one,G than with reference
to fruits already existing.

Wood once nearly lost his life when at the
bottom of the sea- A Prussian vessel had
gone down off the Mouse Buoy in the Thames
estuary. The captain was drowned in his
cabin, and Wood had undertaken to get him
out if he possibly could. Arriving att the
bottom Of the sea, Wood found the vessel
lying over on her side, and that she had
gone down with all her sails set. He tried
to get into the cabin, but found the mainsail
all over the cabin door. /, He was Just about
fetur1, when he f0nnd hisair-pipe and signal 81,
line had suddenly got jammed; Fully aware
of his very dangerous position, and without
losing his presence of mind, he sat quietly
on the edge of the vessel and considered.
The men above, he could find, were signalling
to him violently to come up, but he could not
answer, as the line was jammed.. He took
out his pocket knife and thought two, three
times Of cutting himself adrift. As a last
chance he determined to adopt another
course, 80 he climbed up the rigging, among
the great wet sails and loose ropes, as well
as he could, and fortunately found the place
where his air-pipe was hitched. He carefully
loosened it, gave the signal, and was hauled
up Immediately. IF understand right the
limo was clear enough when he went down,
but. while he was atwork on the sunken ship
the tide changed, and earring his pipe and
line opposite directions to that in which it
had been originally conducted, it became
jammed He did net get to the surface one
instant too soon, for the boat was just drift
ing, as her anchors would not hold.
