ARREST OF AN ALLEGED RAILROAD BOND cor
TERFEITER.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The police have in
charge a man named Yates, on the charge OF
being implicated in uttering counterfeit Buff
falo and Erie bonds. They expect to get some
thing out of Yates, but 80 far he has kept quiet.
Detective Sampson is very positive that forged
stock Of the Western Union to a large amount
is in existence, which it Is intended 10 put on
the market. He also believes the same of New
Jersey Central bonds. Mr.. Denny says the de-
tectives are on the right track, and in a few
days will have all the forgers. He SAYS the
counterfeits have been IN circulation since
July, and there Is no telling where they may
have reached. A number of the law COMMITTEES
OF the stock exchange say the exchange would
rather reimburse the victims for their loss than
allow any compromise to be made.

board Of education read petition signed by f73
persons, white and colored, praying that colored
schools as such be abolished, and that colored
children be admitted to scholarships in any pub

ton was contrary to the law Of the state and of
the United States a. expressed In the civil rights
bill, as well as opposed to the spirit of progress
characterizing the times. Mr.. Libby supported
the petition, and moved that the prayer of the
colored schools be known as grammar or pri-
mary schools, and shall receive the appropriate
number. Mr.. Bergen concurred, and urged
immediate adoption. Mr.. Hunter said that
while he favored the motion he wished to see the
business done in order. He moved that the
question be referred to joint committee of the
committees on teachers and attendance. Mr..

Dangers Of the Political Situation I'm
France.

A crisis in France is believed to be imminent.
The national assembly is to reassembie this
month, and 1t is now conceded that upon that
occasion an attempt will be made to effect q
Bourbon restoration. At council held on the
18th of August the convocation Of the assembly
was discussed, and 1t was decided not to sum-
mon it until the Germans had quilted Verdun.
Nj. Buffet, who had just come from the eastern
departments, reported, strange to say, that the
liberals and the Germans were on the best
terms, and that the latter were opposed to
restoration under Catholic influence 1t is also
lated that the Bonpartists, not liking
the Bourbon and Orleans fusion, have OF
Tered to unite with the radicals to
assist In making Marshal McMahon
president for the term of three years.
AS the assembly now stands such q coalition
would give an anti-royal majority of four or i've
only, and as there are ten or twelve vacancies,
it Is thought very likely that the royalists will
make an effort to elect conservatives enough to
hold the casting vote. They claim, 1t is true, a
working majority of forty.fve as the assembly
is now constituted; but there appears to be ne
doubt that the Cassimir- Perier group of depu-
ties and -ome twenty or thirty old-fashioned
Orleanists, whose doctrines are opposed to the
clerical regime, will vote against The legitimists
on the restoration question. At least NJ. Theirs
is OF that opinion, and his impression Is entitled
to considerable weight. At the council It was
proposed to convOke the assembly as soon after
the 4th OF September Is circumstances would
justify, provided the execution by the Germans
was completed. To-day Is the 4th and the Ger
mans have gone. We may have stirring news
from the French before long.

A NEW DESIGN SUGGESTED FOR THE THREE

A NEW DESIGN SUGGESTED FOR THE THREE
writes to the Postmaster General, suggesting
plan for a new three cent postage stamp, as
follows -" 1t is not my design to find fault with
the three cent Postage stamp now in use merely
for the sake of fault-hnding. Although it bears
the Founder of the Nation 1t does not fully repre-
sent the increasing intelligence, the inventive
power and glory of this great nation. Without
depreaciating in the least the never dying mem
DRY of the founder of the American Liberty,
would recommend that George Washington be
engraved on postage stamps of other denomina-
tions, and that AOrses electric telegraph mdcheHe
the posts and wire running through land scape,
q Train of cars and Robert Fulton's steamer be
neatly engraved on three cent stamps, some
thing in the manner represented in the sketch.
Let America show the world that
she prizes the Great Sea Horse, and
the Iron Horse, the American locomotive, the
the highest degree OF perfection by American
brains. Does not the whole world admire the
American Locomotive? = 1 submit to
your honorable consideration the general plan,
the foundation for postage stamp
which shall more fully represent the
capacity Of the Monmouth Republic. I
III you or this government will reward me &C
cordIng to its value, as q compensation for my
time and labor expended, 1t will be thankfully
received by the undersigned, q native citizen,
who takes pride in the welfare of this Great
Nation" The sketch, which is colored, is about
fve inches square, and bears the representation
OF a train Of cars crossing bridge; q steamboat
q city, q telegraphic machine, &C., evidently
executed by an amateur. 1t is probable that
the department will inform the gentleman that,
IN Its opinion, "the increasing intelligence, the
Inventive genius and glory of this Great
Nation" cannot properly be illustrated on the
lace OF three-cent postage stamp.
