The new tariff and internal revenue bill
which, however, will not go fully into ef-
feet until January next, provides for n
reduction Of internal revenue officers. In
the place Of some three hundred collectors
and assessors there will be only eighty,
and other officers are returned in the
same proportion. Thus without o,tenta-

being carried out, and very soon the peo-

EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS.

Earnest effolts are being made here by
the friends Of education to induce the
territorial Legislature to establish four
additional primary schools in which the
new method OF objective teaching known
as the kindergarten system will be intro
ducud
There are in this city one hundred and
twentythree private schools and about
one hundied and Thirty public schools.
The existence Of SO laIge number OF
private schools, Notwithstanding the fact
that parents are taxed for the support OF
the public schools, is evidence that the
latter are not conducted rs efficiently and
successfully as they ought to be.
The Kindergarten method has made
great progress both iu Germany and in
in the United States. 1t has already
been adopted IA part Of the public school
system IN Boston, and it is to be hoped
that it may yet be introduced throughout
the Union.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINGToN, June Z, 1879.


THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.
All accounts concur that the Conven-
tion is an Assem- blage OF the representa-
tive men of our country. Eye witnesses
bear testimony that more intelligent
and solid assemb|age has rarely gathered
in the United States. Considering that
the nomination of Grant was foregone
conclusion, there is very considerable en-
thusia,m manifested.
The speech Of Garrett Smith was not
only effective in itself, but is remarkable
as coming from veteran in the abolition
cause and one who had long retired from
partisan conflicts.
COLFAX AND GRANT.
This morning, while walking up the
Avenue, | happened TO meet Schuyler
COliax, who seemed to be more disturbed
than usual for gentleman with such
smiling and prepossessing appearances.
We passed the usual salutations but he
hurried on AS one exceedingly pre-occu-
pied. Not far behind came the Presi-
dent taking his accustomed walk, with
the inevitable cigar in his mouth, looking
as unconcerned as he did on the day Of
the fall Of Richmond or the surrender Of
Lee. Perfect self possession seems to be
his leading characteristic.
ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION.
The Free TrYde men who lost the con-
troll Of the Cincinnati Convention by the
manoeuyre OF G.atz Brown and the Gree
ley strikers are determined not to submit
to the swindle. Ii Is understood that an
other Convention viii be called to meet
at Cincinnati on the Fourth ol July, Ior
the the putpO,e OF nominating candidates
and presenting them to the Baltimore
Democratic convention for it, acceptance.
Thus our Democratic friends viii be
placed like the ass between two bundles
Of hay, and it is hard to tell by which
side they will be attached. 1t is of no
consequence, however, which way the
minority sides, for it is believed the Re-
publican party has a clear majority in
sufficient number oi States to secure the
election OF Grant.
THE NEW REFORM IN SIGHT.
President Grant before he signs any of
the numerous private bills that are annu-
ally hurried through Congress without
much conside' alton, has established Il
Practice of sending every one to the De-
pnrtment to which itappertans for IL thor
ough and rigid examination before sign
ing the same. This new system has III
ready enabled him to detect several
frauds, for he has vetoed some half doz-
en- private bills and the care thus taken
has not only saved the Government large
sums OF money, but has prevented the es-
tablishment OF precedents which would
cost much more.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltl-
more Sun says 1t seems as if political at
fairs in Arkansas are getting as much mixed
up as in Louisiana, and that the solution will
be as far from right and justice. The liberals
and democrats of Arkansas claim that they can
prove by undisputabe evidence that nearly
10000 legal voters were deprived of the right
to vote at the regular pollsat the last election
and over Il, 1000 votes cast by repeaters or stut-
fed by the election officers, were counted Tor
the Grant and Wilson electors. Senator kice
aud numbers of the most respectable and in-
auential men of the State assert their ability to
prove these allegations. The legal voters who
we're not allowed to cast their ballots at the
Arkansas election we're almost altogether white

The Baltimore Sun says The political
intelligence from the Southern States is far
from cheering. In some of them, indeed,
things seem to be becoming worse, instead OF
better The details which we have had of the
situation in Louisiana-one government having
boon put out and another put in by federal
court and payvu-ts, and the election returns,
after the result had been proclaimed by State
authority, recanvassed and reversed-sufhcient-
ly indicate the anomaly there existing"

THE "PoTTER's FIELD. Few readers in
the country know what is the reality Of the
"Potter's Field in this place, nor had We a
full sense of its character until some months
since, on a fine summer morning, we accom-
panied friend to the spot, little way from
the Southern suburb of the. city. The ''place
Of deposit" for that is the term, las trench
some FIVE feet deep. CrossWise were laid the
coarse cofins some long, some short, the In.
tervening chinks filled in, in rigid economy Of
space, with infants in their smiles of innocent
age cut off,. We could but call to mind the
lines Of the poet: l.I:...>. ~. ..sL.y
"Yet it matters not much when the bloom is
fed, ~: @e'@ 49,
And the light is gone from the. lustrous eye,
Where the Wondering ashes are left to lie;
Like the. flowers perfume, is exhaled to
heaven,
That its earthly shroud should be cast behind,
To decay wherever place is given.
No one can turn from scenes like. these, and
think lightly of the disposition of the body
after death. The rural and shady cemetery
arises to the wind in palpabe contrast, and
the beholder, as be passes from the field OF
promiscuous burial, exclaims:
mot amid trenches rude, ,~a
Or collins dark and thick with ancient mould,
May rest my bones;
But let the dewy rose, ..-ry.I,,
The snow-drop, and the violet, lend perfume
Above the spot, where in my grassy tomb
[ take repose." ...fGIrLr 3. i
