ADJUSTMENTS.

Little Barefoot was presented at the OPP
era House last night by the Fanny B. Price
comedy company, in a very creditable man
ner indeed. A fair sized audience was in
attendance, a large proportion Of which was
ladies. The play ran much more smoothly
than that of the evening previous, and gave
general satisfaction. Miss Price took the
character of Little Barefoot and Mr.. Han
chett that of Farmer Pease.
At the matinee this afternoon, the Play
of New Magadlen will be presented, and
Miss Price will close her engagement to
night with the three act commedy entitled
Wild Constance, to be followed by the farce
of Cousin Joe. We expect to see well
filled houses upon both occasions.

The Association was called to order at
7:45. \ large number of ladies occupied
seats near the stage, while about dozen
rows of seats in the rear OF the hall were
occupied by students from the Fisk Uni
velSity. Most Of the teachers in the pub
lie schools of the city were in attendance.
Upon calling the Association to order.
the President introduced DR.. b. Sears, Of
Virginia, Agent of the Board of Trustees of
the Peabody School Fund-a fund which
has been such powerful agent in pushing
forward the cause of education.
DIR. SEARS ADDRESS.
Upon coming forward, DR.. Sears was
greeted with an Outburst of applause.
He said that the remarks he had to offer
would be in the interest of public schools,
and that, broad as the subject is, it would
be necessary to say something upon sub
iect still wider in its range-that is, uni
versaI education. We should never forget
that man in his essential nature is an edu-
catable being. Education, as we cOntem-
plate it, is to fit man to be a man and to
perform the duties devolving upon him.
How can we make education universal
You may say, $50 on as we have gone on"
but we cannot do this-we cannot
throw ourselves back into the eighteenth
century. If there be any reason why any
one person should be educated, then forthat
reason all other persons should be educated.
The wealth of people depends upon the
intelligence of that people. This is an age
of science applied to the arts, and the great
branches of industry cannot be carried on
by hand, but depend upon skilled men.
There is scarcely n government upon the
a. =, Cta f1aa
intelligence Of her people.
We hear that it costs too much money TO
educate the people, but what is it that you
expend money if the end to be attained is
worth more than the expenditure? | will
say that it costs money to maintain sys-
TEN Ofpublic schools, and will add that it
costs more to maintain the people in ig-
nOrance. On my way to this place | saw
an intelligent citizen of Raleigh, y, g.,
who told me they had not q public school
in that city, but they had just paid out So
GOO on account OF few criminals. And
after this expenditure, are the men upon
whom it is expended reformed, or made
better? On the contrary, they will come
out of prison more hardened in their wick
edness.
A man says there is no law in nature
which requires me to pay Tor the educatlQh
ofmy neighbor's children, Do you never
think that in the mixed society in which
we live, man belongs as much to society
as he does to his father and mother. A
man has no right to sever his childrenfrom
contact with the world and he certainly has
not the power. But man says l cdnsend
nv son abroad to be educated. Very Well.
You bring him back home into the midst Of
this pestifcrous mass you have allowed TO
grow up around you. The right way to DO
! is to make il safe for any family to live
| anywhere.

The speaker explained the delay atten-
dant upon the collection of or school
fund, showing that but little can be realiz-
ed therefrom until next January. This
delay caused some disappointment on the
part Of the people iii some of the districts
who cannot understand why they have re-
ceived no school money yet, under the
present law. He considered our present
school law is a great success.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTs.
High tribute was paid by Col. Fleming
to the capability and efficiency of county
superintendent, but hoped the county
courts would secure the keeping Of those
men in Office by providing for liberal COM
penSation.
SCHOOL HOUSES.
There is a great lack of suitable school
houses in the State, and the speaker urged
that this lack be supplied b. voluntary
contributions as far as possible, instead Of
by the school fund.
ADDITIONAL FUNDS.
The public schools Of the State have been
literally aided through DR.. Sears, agent Of
the trustees of the Peabody fund. The
amount thus donated for this year is $780,
600.
AMENDMENTS TO THE SCHOOL LAW.
Z. A. James, of Chattanooga, offered the
following:
Resolved, That the officers of this Asso-
citation and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction shall constitute a committee
whose duty it shall be to draft amendments
TO the present school law that experience
in the execution thereof has demonstrated
to be necessary, and report the sameto the
next session of this Association.

luton recognizing the efficient zeal exhib-
tied by our State Superintendent in per-
forming his official duties, and pledging
him the support Of the Association in his
endeayOrs to carry out the provisions of the

tiers that will not be cffaccd for many years.
Scores Of haggard acres in almost every

places have taken the place of green fields
and pleasant homcsteads; fresdes bcreft
OF loved friends; burdcnsome taxation,
whose oppressive, but unavoidable severity

of the terrible devastation of the flood of

ASSAULT Al WmrEHALL.--On last week
very peculiar assault and battery case was
up before the court at Whitehall. The par
ties to the suit were Louis Dalton, in the
employ of Mr.. A, p. Cooke, lumber mer-
chant, and Mr.. McAdam, employed by Mr.
Ii. G. Burleigh, also lumber dealer. The
assault was made in consequence of Nc
Adam attempting to use some cars which
Dalton and VIM. II. Caldwell had engaged
of Mr.. Baker the railroad station agent
Caldwell demonstrated with McAdam
against loading the cars, saying they were
engaged by him, when u struggle ensued
between Dalton and McAdam, ending in
McAdam's striking Dalton over the head
with a rule making an ugly cut reaching to
the bone of the skull Dalton then closed
with McAdam and threw him. Dalton was
arrested and plead not guilty At two
separate trials the jury have disagreed and
Dalton has given bail to await the action of
the grand jury.

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

What is a return to specie payments Is
II an actual payment by banks and indi-
yiduals of gold and silver to their custo-
mers in return for, or redemption of, their
obligationsl Is it the use by the people
OF eagles, half eagles, dollars and its
Of their debts, and the actual transaction
Of ordinary business Not at ALL 1t is
imply an agreement on the part of the
hanks and government that they will pay
coin when demanded, and confidence on
she part Of the community that they will
40 do, There is, probably, as much coin
I'd gold and silver in the country to-day, as
here was at the outbreak of the war and
when banks were supposed to pay in spe-
Vi' and, probably, as much is now used
in trade and commerce as then. The
banks Of Vermont we're required to re-
deem their bills in specie, in Bottom and
HAT being, at that time, the financial
center of New England, large number
If these bills accumulated there. The
Bank of Rutland redeemed their bills
once, If not twice, week, and we ven
ture TO say that they never used dollar
ot gold or silver in so doing. And why
should they All, or nearly all, New
England banks were sound, specie pay
ing banks, and their promises to pay
were equal in value to gold-save, per-
haps II trifling discount in the case of
distant banks to cover the expenses of
transportation, and this did not apply to
those institutions redeeming in Boston.
The redemption consisted simply of an
exchange of the bills of the differ
cnt banks, which answered all the pur-
poses of gold, so far as a currency or
business was concerned. In order to
prove that 'specic payments Is thing of
the imagination and not of reallty-if, in
deed, there il any doubt abont it-lct us
examine the condition of the several
banks of Vermont on the morning of
July LIST, 1860, some year or so before
the so-called suspension. We find in the
report of the bank commissioner for that
year, which Is now before us, that there
were then forty-one banks doing business
in Vermont. The bills were as good as gold,
because they were redeemable In specie,
and the idea that II could not be done
would have been secuted by the public
as we'll rs by the banks. The highest

state is merely for the sake of keeping up
appearances, but In the city 1t means some
thing. New York city democrats can well
exclaim "united VIC stand divided we fall"
and they are cndcavoring to net os IL they

Tammany recognized as the only true rep

suited in their persons. They declared they
would show their democracy by voting the
state ticket TO be nominated, but at home
in their local elections, they would show
that they were the party by tho votes they
would cast for their nominees. Tammany
took it quietly, only replying with similar
boasts. After they returned home, they
seem 10 have commenced an examination
Of the election returns, as contained in tho
Tiibune and World almanacs. This study
was, also, productive Of immediate results.
When united, they could carry and always
