WASHINGTON CITY:


IL IL understood that a school OF art for the
practical instruction Of students and amateurs
will be established IN connection with Mr.. Cor
cOTsns munifCent gift TO this city-the Cprco-
ran Art Gallery. The best professors will be
engaged, ard thus the gallery will not only be
an ornament 10 the capital and a point of inter
est to yi> tors, but Institution OF learning in
the direction of drawing, painting. sculpture,
&c The original deSi On was TO make il simply
q depository for paintings where the, people
might pass an hour OF two pleasantly, but this
failed 10 fully realize the benevolent design of
Mr.. CO:Coran. and lie determined 10 vitalize
and utilize the gallery By making il positive
instructor in matters OF art. This plan is one
which must be hailed with universal apprOba-
ton, since it, contamination will aid fully one
hundred per cent. To the value of the gallery.
Professor Henry, secretary and director
OF the Smithsonian Institution, in pursuance
Of the scbeme of SmithsOn "tO increase and
difuse knowledge among men" will be a valu-
able contributor to the gallery. The Institu-
tiOn at present has credit for specimens of art
in the way of paintings and sculpture at many
foreign capitals which Prot. Henry has been in
no haste 10 demand. mainly because of the
insuffcitney of accommodations at the Ins:itu-
ton. When the Art Gallery is thrown open to
the public, however, requests will be nade~for
these works Of art, and on their arrival they
will be at once placed in the gallery, and will
form an interesting and valuable feature of its
attractions. The art school in connection with
the gallery has the warm endorsement of Prof.
Henry, who, for one, will GO all In his power to
enhance its usefulness.

Washington sNpayers UnreasOnably grum-
bic at the moderate tax rate OF Il 20 on every
one hundred dollars OF real estate at a low valu-
alton, and they pay no state or county tax be
sides. ] hey do not seem TO know that they are
more favored in this regard than residents OF
any Other American city. In Philadelphia, for
instance. the finance committee of the councils,
at their meeting on Monday evening, resolved
10 report in favor of a tax rate of S2.15 on 500
for the ensuing year, and the Record says: "The
burden of this tax falls almost entirely upon
real esta'e assessed at nearly its cash value"
Besides this, PhiladclphiaDs have a state and
county taxes TO pay. " Carl Benson" who is not
IrejudicCd in favor of the new District govern
ment, but who is a man of taste and good sense,
says in late letter from this city: "Having
spoken OF the really improved look of this place,
1 am low happy to add that the taxes, thus far,
are not what many were disposed to apprehend.
The rate OF valuation seems to be about three
fourths OF the market yalue-a high, but not an
ekifavsgsnt ratio-dnd the rate Of tar is only
$40, Was compares very favorably with that
in most of on, cities"

Judicial Decisions on Mixed schools

The right and expediency of sending white ard
colored children TO the same schools are being
discussed in various sections of the Union where
the subject has been brought up for considera-
ton, and in two recent cases, both in northern
states, the important question a. to how far the
fourteenth amendment affects the status OF
eoloTed persons under existing school laws has
been adjudicated. In both the courts held that
the common school authorities have the right to
make and enforce rules for the classification
and government of the schools; that the citizen
cannot dictate where his children shall be in
structed, OF what teacher shall perform that
office; that equality OF rights does not make the
necessity Of educating white and cOiOred persons
in the same school, any more than IL does that OF
educating children OF both sexes in the same
school. ANY classification which preserves sub
stantally equal school advantages, il not pro-
hibited by the constitution. In the opinion de-
livered last week in the supreme court at
Albany, y. Y, Judge Learned said;
alt . urged on the part of the relatOr that this
regulation Of the board l. in violation of the
fourteenth amentmeutO of the constitution OF the
United States. This prohibits the state from
making enforcing any law which shall a5ritge
the privileges and ImmTnit1es Of citizens OF the
United States. Assuming that this
rule OF the board is 10 be included in the words
ANY law, what privilege OF a citizen j. Abridged
thereby" Certainly none, unless every citizen
has the privilege Of choosing TO which school, in
a city. be will send his children. The relatOr
has equal common school advantages with other
CItiZeT>. He does not assert that the school
which l. open to him i not a. good a. the Que
which l. closed. He does not pretend that there
Il anything In it, position, its pupils or its teach
eT~ which makes the limitation of his children
10 that school practical refusal to them of com
mon school advantages. Ii the school which Is
open 70 his children were materially objections
bic, or II il were An improper school for them TO
attend, very different question might then
arise"

Ihe question of the Gu. nftaincy OF the Cher
okee nation, in the Indian territv.' has recent
ly been settled by the election by the c., 1ncii TO
succeed their late chief, Downing, OF Wills N
L. Ross, nephew of John Ross, who was for .
long time chief Of the Cherokees, and who died
in this city several years ago. On the death of
John Ross, Louis Downing. assistant chief, as
sumed the chieftsincy. Subsequently an cleo
ton was held by the council, and VIM. p. Ross
was elected chief. In 1sj7 Louis Downing was
elected chief instead of W m. P. Ross. Downing
was supported by the southern Cherokees, who
had taken part in the rebellion, and this turned
the scale in his favor. In ISL Downing again
defeated Ross at the regular election. Judge
Daniel, who was elected assistant chief at the
same election, died several months ago, and the
subsequent death OF Downing left the nation
without principal or assistant chief until the
late election of VIM. p. Ross, who is spoken OF
as an educated gentleman, fully competent to
discharge the duties devolyed upon him.

At the late election the number of voters in
ST. Louis represented about II. pr cent ~ her
total population; those OF Chicago, Il - per
cent; those of Boston, IoH per cent; those of
Baltimore, 16. per cent, and those OF Cincjn-
natl, 2o2. per cent. The discrepancy between
the cities named is readily noticeable. The per
centage OF voters in Boston is unusually sm al,
while that of Cincinnati is extraordinarily
large.

PRIMARY ELECTION.

Saturday next the primary election
system will be inaugurated in this city
and county, system that is being rap
idly adopted throughout the State, be-
cause it prevents conventional rascality,
and every candidate runs squarely on
his merits before the people. The can
didates are numerous, and are men OF
integrity and ability. For Congress we
have Messrs. VIM. L. Duff, Robert f.
Looney, A. T. Lacey, R. B. Someryell
T. H. Logwood and Duncan X. MeRae.
For State Senators we have Messrs. }.
NJ. Crews and Peyton J. Smith. For
Representatives, Messrs. W. Fl. Bates,
j. NJ. Harris, Jos. Barbiere, s. X. Gam
mon, s. w. Green and John Oyerton, jr.
in the field. For Floater, Mr.. George A.
Mathes, of Somerville, is the candidate.
These gentlemen are strong before the
people, and worthy of the offices to
which they aspire. Whatever the result
of the primary election may be, each
and every one of the above gentlemen
will abide by it and work earnestly for
the success of the ticket.

THE COUNTY FINANCIAL AGENT

ESQUIRE T. C. Bleckley, almost an oc.
togenarian, and Chairman Of the County
Court, is also financial agent of Shell.
by county, for which he receives n fat
salary. Squire Bleckley is an honest,
upright old gentleman, but neither his
education, mental nor physical ability
qualify him for the financial agency.
The last Grand Jury handled the finan-
cial Agent without gloves, to which the
present Grand Jury adds numberless
charges of total incompetency. The re-
port furnishes the following choice read
ing matter:
We are fully satisfied as to Esquire
Bleckley's total incapacity for anything
like clerical duty. In justice to him,
however, we would state that the duties,
requirements and responsibilities OF his
office are little understood, either by the
people or the County Court. 1t is an
office of the first magnitude in the
county, requiring not only an intimate
knowledge and thorough acquaintance
with all the rules and principles Of an
active commercial business, but re-
quires a man of more than ordinary
executive ability to carry out its duties.
We would also suggest that not only
the present incumbent, but his success
sors be required to give bond equal to
that given by the County Trustee. AT
present he gives no bond, only as a mag
istrate. As the financial agent OF the
county, he has control Of every dollar of
its money; its revenue is turned over to
him; he has charge OF its assets, dis
burses all the money, signs and issues all
warrants and bonds. Scarcely any bank
ing institution in the State handles any
more money, or transacts any more
business. You can readily see what o
scope for rascality, or what loss from in
capacity or neglect Of duty might result
to the people. As to the general man.
agement OF his Office, we find, as he him
self suggests, he has been running it
sorter loose, you know" The facts are,
he has been guilty of gross neglect Of
his duties, and we cannot find that he
has carried out the requirements of his
Office as directed by law, in any one
single solitary instance. We
cannot but think the inexcusable neglect
Of these plain duties has resulted in
great and serious loss to the county, and
demands from us the most severe con-
demnation, and calls loudly for reform.
Esquire Bleckley should bow TO the
genius of Reform and retire from a po-
sition he is unable TO Gil with satisfac-
ton to the people. Some gentleman of
financial and clerical ability should be
selected for this most important office,
one who will not run the financial ma
chine sorter loose"
