ne cities and largo towns which would DO
BY this measure.
Now, gentlemen, snbmit that notwith-
standing the needs and burdens which it is
claimed bear upon many In our interior dis
tricts in sustaining educational privileges, it
should be remembered that it is neither just
nor equitable to ask the State to contribute
from its Treasury, in addition to its already
large benefaction, another quarter of mil
lion dollars while the legislation of last year
is 40 yet an incomplete experiment.
Is it not right that this tax should stand
where it now does, without increase, until at
least, it shall have been demonstrated that
what has already been enacted il a wise and
successful measure?
And then, gentlemen, when these abuses
and neglects which have been mentioned and
which are realities shall have been corrected,
when parents In the various parts OF our
State shall have demonstrated their zeal and
interest in the public schools by their en-
d63v6rs for full and regular atten-
dance Of scholars and by their material and
moral support of teachers, and by doing all
that they are able, financially and otherwise,
to educate and elevate their children-when
all this shall have been done, and it shall be
shown that there is still need OF an increase
of the school re venue and that it will be WISE
~ expended, believe that the State, in some
wise and equitable manner, will provide fol-
the support and perfection of our educational
system. Mr.. Speaker and gentlemen, having
thus presented to you these facts and argu-
ments I can but believe that you will coincide
with me in waving this matter. and in op
posing and voting against this measure, and
80 believing, l await the issue.

money from Pomeroy to aid his election to
the Senate, and which he took in pursuance
of conspiracy to detect Pomeroy's bribery
and expose it. 1t is said that he had black
mailed Pomeroy before this, and that the
present effort is plot to extort money. The
opening of proceedings in the case is reported
in the New York Times as follows:
The Pomeroy bribery investigation was be-
gun at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and two wit
nessess were examined. Nothing really new
was developed. York told again his story,
which has been published already. He was
subjected to brief but very pointed cross
examination by Judge Horton, the counsel for
Mr.. Pomeroy. Hon. Caleb Gushing also ap-
peared for Mr.. Pomeroy; but the committee
having decided to admit only one counsel on
each eide, Mr.. Gushing simply remained by
Judge Horizons side to assist him by way OF
suggestions. The cross-examnation was
conducted with great ability, and laid the
ground for strong defense, which, however,
was only partially developed. A Mr. Simp-
son announced himself with some poDp as
counsel for the State of Kansas. York ad-
mitted that his statement before the Joint
Committee was full of exaggerated state
ments, and he would not now swear as he did
puoncly, at the END OF the speech, 10 us tfutl
in every particular. Several Of its specific
statements were disproyed, as for instance
the story of having been searched just before
entering Mr.. Pomeroy's room, and having ex-
hibited the $4,000 Immediately on coming
out
w. A. johnson, who was one of those in
the scheme, was examined, but his evidence
was valueless, and it was clearly demonstra-
ted that York's testimony would be the only
direct evidence that the money he showed in
joint convention came from Senator Pomeroy
Some questions which were asked him lead
to the supposition that the conversation be-
tween York and the Senator at the time he
alleges the $4,000 was given him, was over
heard, and that the hearer will be produced
in the defense. But York's story was very
explicit and detailed, in some parts quite
plausible, and in others on the face absurd
York makes an unfavorable impression, ant
he is estimated at a pretty mean price, ever
by the worst enemies of Mr.. Pomeroy. Hi,
connection with this affair, as well as hi,
alleged black mailing of Pomery last winter
has excited a great deal Of curiosity to see
him. Thus far twenty-one witnesses have
been summoned in this investigation.

1t is believed, under favorable conditions
that $500 miles of new railroad will be bull.
in 1873, divided among the several sections
of the country as follows: North eastern
States, AS miles; Middle States, 1865 miles;
Western States and Territories, $3.50 miles;
Southern States, 25l0 miles; Pacific States,
ETC., 700 miles. The capital required to
complete this extension will amount to S24o,-
100000. The money necessary to advance
this railroad progress will probably, for the
most part, come from abroad. There is a
great plethora OF capital in Germany, seek.
ing a good investment in the United States,
and with this foreign capital and the supplies
of capital from cur domestic resources, the
s2l0, 600, 900 will doubtless be forth coming.

Governor Walker of Virginia sent a
special message to the legislature on Mon
day. which he preached the modest pro-
position to have the general government
assume the debts of all the states. 1t only
amounts to asking the general govern
ment, after having fought and conquered
the rebels, to turn around in loving kind
ness and assume the debts they incurred
in fighting it, A juster proposition would
be to require them to pay the entire OK
penses of the government for the war,
which they are entirely responsible for.

Some of the New York papers express
the opinion that the stay of proceedings
ordered in the case of Stokes by Judge
Davis will be the means of his escape
from the gallows. Judge Davis granted
the stay on the ground that the Court
was at fault in requiring the prisoner to
prove that there was no malicious pre-
meditation. No objection is made to
to the decision Of the Judge. and at the
same time there is prevailing opinion
that no farther steps will be taken and
Stokes go unhung

The subject of dividing Tennessee into
two States, setting off the eastern part
into new State, is agitated by those i'm
mediately interested. The interests OF
the two sections are not allied in politics
or business. The argument of "incom.
patibility' would apply very we'll in an
action for divorce, and perhaps both sec
tons weuld be the better for it. Tho old
bone Of contention between the East and
West was slavery.

Intelligence has been received of the sue
cessful landing Of another cargo of arms and
ammunition for the Cuban patriots. So far
as can be learned from the meagre dispatches
received, it appears that a schooner, com
manded by one of Betancourt's friends, ran
over from por, in the British West Indies
and succeeded in landing the goods at Verti-
entes, a small port in the Eastern Depart
ment of the island. Her cargo consisted of
about ten tons of powder, $4,000 cartridges
and large number of Remington rifles. The
news has also been received that all the above
mentioned munitions of war have been safely
received by the patriots and taken inland,
and that the commander of the expedition has
already distinguished himself several times
in action against the Spaniards.

william NJ Tweed the State Senate, met at the Metro
poltan Hotel yesterday morning. The Committee
is composed OF Senators Johnson (Chairman),

will argue against the power OF the Senate to inves-
