THE SCHOOL LAW.

The attention OF school officers aud
the public generally is called to the Cir
ular letter OF instructions issued by
Hon. B. W. BYRNE, State Superintend-
eut OF Free Sch ools, which we pu blIsh
this morning. /, contains explicit de
rections as to the manner Of conducting
the election and the officers to be chosen
on tae Sth Of August next. 1t will be
observed that the State Superiu tendent
is OF opinion that in "independent
school districts" as well as in those or
ganizei under the general law, it is
necessary that vote be taken ss to
whether or not the officers chosen may
have authority to levy special tax for
school purposes.
The income received by the State
from the general school tax, and from
the annually increasing and invested
school fund is not yet sufficient, when
eouitably distributed, to maintain the
schools during such length OF time as
is necessary to their efficiency. in any
district in the State. In order there
fore that free schools may be kept open
not less than four months in the year
it is necessary that the deficiency left
after the money received from the State
has been consumed, shall be made up
by the levy Of special tax upon the
property in the school district.
The constitution. however, provides
that this local levy can only be made
"by the authority Of the people" OF the
district, ard hence it has been found
necessary to provide by law for an ex'
preston of popular opinion in relation
to the matter. II the vote results in
favor of authority to levy, that author
ity continues during the term Of the
school officers chosen at that time; II
it results against authority to levy, 1t
applies only to one year, and another
vote upon the question may be had the
next year. 1t is also provided that
when the people OF district refuse to
make any local levy for school purpo-
ses, they shall not be entitled to receive
any portion Of the fund distributed BY the
State. The State fund will be used only
to help those who help themselves, and
will in no case be applied to the benefit
Of any community that does not apPre-
ciate the advantage of free schools suffi-
GENTLY 10 tax itself for portion Of the
funds necessary for their maintenance.
The amount of the State school tax
collected from a majority olthe counties

BUFFALO,.
Collision.

BuFpALo, July ia serious collis-
ion occurred here this morning. The
New York express due here eight
o'clck A. N. and a gravel trim with
forty men on board collided between
East Buffalo and Cheektown. The
former train was running very fast and
the snock was frightfnl. The men on
the gravel train were preparing to- Jump
when the collision was apparent. Sew
eral OF them were thrown on the track
and run over, five Of them receiving IA
tai injuries. At large a number OF
passengers on the mail as well as labor
era on the gravel train were more or
less injured.

in the State is less than the sum assign
ed to those counties from the distribu-
table fund. If they vote in favor of an
additional local levy they are thus
entitled to receive from the State a sum
exceeding that they have paid in State
school tax; a larger amount Of money
will be expended in their neighborhood
than they have paid into the school
treasury. The difference is made up
by the people ofthe other counties who,
while securing for themselves the ad-
vantage Of popular education, are will
ing to extend to others at their own
expense, the advantages they them'
selves enjoy.
There has been a good deal Of criti-
cism on the part of the Radical newse
papers adverse to what has been
termed the "local option" school law, but
we are inclined after all to believe in
the justice OF placing upon each school
district the responsibility of deciding for
itself, under the restrictions and re-
straiuts OF the law, whether or not a
public school is desired. We do not
believe in forcing an education upon
those who do rot desire it, and il,
as under the present law, they
are taxed for the education Of others
even when they refuse to avail them
selves OF the benefit OF the free schools,
we cannot see why any fair-minded
friend of popular education should find
fault with the law. It offers reward
for local levy and imposes q penalty
for its refusal. What more can be
reasonably asked2

known as Township. over which q
board of education presides. lpdepen-
dent school district, 10 that division Of
territory which has been designated by
special act OF the Legislature for that
purpose, which is presided over by such
officers as the act creating it provides.
Sub.district is the name given to the
subdivisions OF the districts into schoo!
districts over which a trustee presides.
Is. Section 40. page % OF the school
law provides, that for the support OF
primary free schools OF their district
and each independent school district,
the board OF education thereof. shall
annually levy, BY the authority OF the
people, as prescribed in section 2, such
tax on the property taxable in the dis
trict as will, with the money received
from the State, be sufficient to keep the
schools in operation for at least four
months in the year.
By this provision | understand that
the board OF officers OF each indepen-
dent school district who discharge the
duties devolving on the Boards OF Edu-
cation OF other districts, are required TO
submit the question OF levy for school
purposes to the people at the August
election, az provided in section > OF
the school law.
The special acts creating these inde-
dendent districts are 90 various and the
offices created by them have so many
different names, that no general in
structions can be given applicable TO
them all. But their officers will be
elected according to the special laws
providing for their creation.

have been published in the REGISTER
need scarcely be reminded that the edl'
torlsl synopsis Of the argument present.
ed by Judge LEE which appeared IN
our paper a few days ago was mere
SYNOPSIS and very meagre one at best.
1t presented only a few ofthe heads OF
the Judges argument to show that 'he

upon the Board of Public Works, Ia

and existing during many years
and sanctioned by long practice IN
Virginia, under Constitutions similar
in this respect to that now in force')
legal authority to appoint superln-
tendent of the Penitentiary. Although
the several citations were omitted from
our report of the argument, the learned
Judge was fully fortified in every posi-
ton he assumed.
We are glad to learn that a full re-
port .of Judge LEES argument in the
case is in progress Of publication, and
we hope to give our readers at no dis
tsnt dav a better and more complete
version OF the Judges opinion than has
been heretofore presented.

collision.
A collision, similar to many others
which have been reported, occurred on
East river this morning between the
Williamsburg ferryboat Alaska. and
the steamer Twilight. Fortunately no
one was hurt, although it was attrlbu-
ted by the passengers rather to Provl-
lence than any particular care of the
pilots. The vessels came together
broadside with q loud crash. Psssen-
gers in the cabin OF the Alaska thought
that their ship was going to sink and
rushed about in terrible alarm. The
Alaska did but little damage TO the
Twilight. The guard was broken and
a good deal OF wood work demolished.
