General sheridan Endorsed.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-The grand jury
closed its labors to-day. They indorse
and commend the action of Mayor Mason
in calling to his aid the services of General
Sheridan, and consider that the thanks of
the community are due to General Sheridan
for the efficient aid rendered by him to the
regular police in the emergency caused by
the late fire.

self, and in doing so must himself provide
the means for their safe custody. This
lesson of Chicago should be of immediate
service, not only to public organizations,
but to every business man. Public and
private records form large portion of the
wealth of every community, and should
not be recklessly jeopardized.

BLACK CONSERVATISM AT DISCOUNT.
For sometime Solon johnson, head and
front of the ''committee of six'' colored
Conservatives of this city, has been keep
ing small snack-house at or near the York
River Depot. AT the same time he occa-
sionally dafted out and spurted Democ-
racy, with a gbberish nobody but himself
understood. The owners of the property
used by Solon, for reasons satisfactory to
themselves, yesterday informed Mr.. John
son that he must pack up his traps and
leave, at the same time advising him to
quit politics and go to work." There is
nothing remarkable in this, except his land
lords are Democrats, and should not have
treated poor Solon so. Our Conservative
darkeys are learning rapidly that 'black

DIR. HoYT, of Wisconsin, commissioner
from that State to the Paris Exposition Of
I'lSG7, makes the following comparison be-
tween the methods of primary instruction
in Prussia and in this country:
"a Prussian child is not permitted to
use the language Of an idea he does not
make his own. Spelling long columns of
words and reading pages of words such as
could not be intelligently made available in
conversations with teacher and school-fel-
low are not allowed, and the same principle
is carried through the instructions of the
first to the last day of its eight years.
drill. And yet by that intimate and con-
stant habit of conversation between pupil
and teacher upon the many topics of school
study, and the endless correlation Of kindred
and suggested subjects which it is part of
the teachers preparation for his work to
know how to bring in, the children of these
schools at very early age come to have a
use of language far beyond the range Of
their studies.
''The packing process of our aim, to get
the largest possible amount of information
in the smallest possible time, defeats itself,
in that it gives so little opportunity to as
simulate and apply, without which the mass
ofmere information slips from the memory
or remains a clog to the natural action of
any special faculty.
"The mere universal use of Institutional
appliances in these schools is greatly in
contrast with oui use of textbooks. Con-
trast the hours of study which our children
devote to pages on pages of unillustrated
theories-to days and weeks of recitations
unillumined by conversations--to treasures
of acquisition unapplied to life, with those
theories that are illustrated by every device
of mechanical genius-those recitations
that are made brilliant by the reproduction
of times and actors-those acquisitions that
are applied to every interest and use of life,
and you have before you sample of the
district school of America and the parish
school of Prussia"

English Feeling WIKI Regard to Chicago.

Extract from private letter. dated Devonport,
Eng, Oct II, to gentleman in Chicago.
The heart of England has been profound
ly moved by your terrible conflagration.
All our large cities have at once begun to
raise funds in aid of the suffering people of
Chicago. Tens of thousands Of pounds
have been collected within the last three
days. We mean to make Brother Jonathan
feel that we love him and sympathize with
him in this great trial. London, Liverpool,
Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds,
are all moving with swift-f5oted sympa-
thy. Thus John Bull will say to his big
son on the other side of the Atlantic: "My
wonderful boy you are my own flesh and
blood, and love you with all my heart.
We have had squabble or two since we
parted, and you started i'll business
on your own account. That Alabama
affair was not at all to my credit for some
of my boys at home, living in town
called Liverpool, behaved very shabbily to
you in letting that piratecraft escape to sea.
But we have agreed to settle all that,
and ] suppose | shall have to shell out
pretty considerably before ! have done
with that Semmes and his lot. However,
| have consented to sit upon the stool of
repentance over that business, and to per-
son of my years and self-importance, | can
assure you such a position is by no means
comfortable one. But will sit it OUT
and be thankful that we are friends again.
And now, my boy, that your fair city in
the West is in ruins, you shall see that
blood is thicker than water and that John
Bull has, after all, tender heart for all
his children in both hemispheres."
Thus speaketh my country to your coun-
try at this moment.-Neto York Tribune.

"A DESPERATE CAUGHT. .o-Undel
the above caption, we, yesterday, gave an
account of the arrest, by detectives Rogers
and Wren, of j. Quinton Bryant of North
Carolina, who was delivered over to U.
s. Deputy Marshal Miller, of North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Miller called upon us this morn
ing and desired us to correct the impress
sion made by our article of yesterday, with
reference to the character of Mr.. Bryant
which we do most cheerfully.
Mr.. Bryant is wanted by the authorities
of North Carolina, TO answer the charge
of assault and battery, this being the only
charge against him in that State. The
Deputy Marshal further informs us that
he is well acquainted with Bryant, and
that he is a man OF good character and
standing, beyond an unruly temper and
a disposition to engage iii fights. We have
read the account of the difficulty which oc-
CURED at Scottsville, during which Bryant
was shot, and find in that account no blame
attaches to him, except that he was en-
deavoring to get out of the way of some
one who was attempting his arrest. We
give this corrected version of the affair as
an act of justice to stranger.

THE TUNNEL.--Our friends in the
lower part of the city are building great
hopes upon the prospective tunnel through
Church Hill. What is great ''bore" to
other people, is hailed by them as an OPEN
ing to wealth and fortune. So mote it be.
We shall truly rejoice with them if half
their dreams are realized and promise our
cooperation in promoting not only the well
fare of the down-towners, but the uptown
ers, and all other sections of our city.
The building of the tunnel will give en-
ployment to large numbers of men, and
cause the disbursement Of many stamps.
We have heard of several real estate trans
actions inspired by the prospects of the
tunnel, and the location Of the shops and
other establishments connected with the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, but we be-
lieve they have not yet assumed definite
shape. When they do, we shall endeavor
to lay the details before our readers.

The CASE OF DIR. STRECKER Dis
MIssED.-Business growing dull during
the hot months of last summer, o certain
detective of this city imagined he had dis
covered victim in the person of DIR. O. A..
Shecker, and to ''shake" him a little would
result in a profit of thousand or more
dollars. 10 carry out his purposes, he en-
listed with him an abandoned woman, who
was persuaded to appear before the grand
jury and testify in such a manner as result
ed in the finding of ''true bll' against
DR.. 5. for having, some time previous, pro-
cured an abortion upon the witness.
A short time after the indictment the
witness in this case fled the city in company
with the detective, and on yesterday, no
witnesses appearing, the case was dismissed
by an order of the Hastings Court of this
city.
We have mentioned this case several
times before, and only refer to it again to
announce its conclusion, and to express our
qualification at the dismissal of a case purely
speculative and of the most cruel character.
DIR. Strecker is one Of oldest citizens, and
is now nearly four score years of age.
Those who know him best could never be-
lieve him guilty of the serious charge, so
cruelty made against him, while strangers
alone could give credence to it. We con-
graduate him and his highly esteemed
family upon this escape from heartless per-
secution, and hope we may not be again
called upon to record so great an outrage.

and to give the Government all facili-
ties
On Tuesday Lieutenant of the
National Guard was wounded by Prus-
sian at st. Denis. conflict ensued be-
tween the French and Prussians, and
some members of the Commune soon
made their appearance with flag OF
truce, but the Prussians declined to
recognize it. The disturbance, however,
soon ended.
Picard has issued the following cir
cular to the projects "The insur-
gents have met a decisive check. Our
troops have captured redoubt at Cha
tillon, with 1000 prisoners. Flourens
and Duval are dead, and Henry is a
prisoner. Twenty-Five Of the Commun-
lists have resigned, and Assy has been
imprisoned by his own followers. The
Government is happy to inform you OF
the condition of affairs which it has eff
fected."
The London Times has special dis
patch from Paris, stating that it is re.
ported in the city that the Prussians
will intervene in the affairs of France,
in case the Commune should be victori.
Gus over the Versailles Government
The Prussians have advanced to Aubel
Villiers, four kilometers southeast OF
st. Denis, and within eight kilometers
of Paris.
Dissatisfaction exists among the
French troops. They are ready to pro.
tect the Assembly but not to attack
Paris. More than half the soldiers re-
turning From Germany are sent home
because they are REGARDED as untrust
worthy. The five hundred million francs
due April /, are known to be ready al

cause the German troops, on the pay
ment of this instalment of the war in
demnity, would then retire toward
