and the question put indicated that
the committee suspected his name
was Butler. Sanborn however, was
SC mysterious as to who got the
money, that the committee were not
much wiser for the information they
obtained. He owned up however, to
having contributed to The Butler fund
for securing the nomination of But
Ter to the governorship, but as to the
amount his memory was amazingly
deficient. On the direct question of
paying money to any officer of the
government, he explicitly denied, and
agreed to furnish schedule of his
disbursements in a few days. This
he did on Thursday, but no one was
damaged by it.
Solicitor Banfeld was before the
committee on Wednesday, and testi-
fed in substance that all he did in
the Sanborn business, was done under
instructions from Boutwell, and Rich
ardson, and that he had conversations
at different times with them aud
there was no such thing as " rotine "
in the matter as described by Mr..
Richardson. This changes the aspect
of the case as given above, and how
the Secretary will explain the dis
crepancy remains to be seen. There
is great excitement on the case as it
stands, and the quidnuncs all had it
for some days that Secretary Rich
ardson was about tie leave once more,
and that Delano was to have his
place, but he "sticks =" and shows
more true, " true grit in this direc-
ton than Delano cares to see. The
President says he likes him, and that
being SO, Richardson doesn't propose
to fly because some one wants his
place, nevertheless great many
members of Congress are of opinion
that Gen. Grant wants Delano in the
Treasury, and viii nominate him as
soon as he is satisfied that he will be
confirmed, of which there is no doubt.
There was very able debate in the
House on Thursday, upon the Cur
rency Bill, which brought out some
of the best spe aking talent of that
body, and it was quite relief to have
discussion of such a question not
monopolized by Dawes, Beck, Butler
aud Kelly. Among the new men who
made strong speeches were Tremaine,
of N. Y, E. r. Hoar, of Mass, and
Judge Williams, of Mich, who were
all opposed to imitation. Conger, of
Mich, distinguished himself in
strong and eloquent speech on the
other side, and on the whole the State
OF Michigan came well to the front in
the intellectual tournament. Ran
dali, of Pa, E. H. Roberts, of N. Y,
and Gen. Garfield, of the old mem
bers, opposed imitation earnestly, but
the House under the lead of Butler,
decided to postpone the bill to Tues
day, when Butler will move to SUBJ
stitute the Senate bill for an increase
of currency.
More revelations concerning Com
missioner Baker are coming out,
which will be sufficient to compel an
investigation. ALERT,

Educational Notice.

OFFICE STATE SUIT. OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, J
New Orleans, March 10, 1874.
To Hon. Pierre Landry, President Ascension
School Board.
Dear Sir-You are respectfully informed
that owing to the fact that the December
AppOrtionment for 1873 was not made until
February, 1874, at which time all the funds
in tine State treasury to the credit of the
that there will not be any settlements with
tax collectors by which the funds of eighteen
hundred and seventy -four viii be paid into
the treasury before May, therefore an APP
portionment for March can not be made
This will necessitate careful inquiry as to
the expediency of mourning obligations
which your Board may find it difficult to
meet. Not until September and December
can we hope to have sufficient funds in the
treasury to make apportionments efany con-
siderable amount.
In view of these facts let me urge upon
your Board the exercise of great caution in
the administration of its affairs, that your
work may be saved embarrassment and the
cause of Education injury.
While it is desirable to have as many
schools in operation as it is possible to main
tain with the revenue at command, it is un-
wise and prejudicial to our interests to es-
tablish and maintain schools at the expense
of the teachers, which is the case whenever
their salaries are in arrears. Carefulnees
on the part of the Board in mourning obi
cations and prompt payment of all indebted
ness, will secure the confidence of the COM
munity, the best grae of teachers for our
schools, and the greatest efficiency for our
work. Respectfully,
WM. G. BROWN,
