MAsHI&GroN, December 7. -- The
senate and house are quite rs full as
usual. \ committee was appointed to
inform the president Of their readiness
to hear lromhim.
WASHINGTON, December 1.-The SUI
preme court rendered the following de-
cisions to-day, Thompson ". Donald
son ct al, claimants of the steamer
Great Republic, appeal from the cir
cult court from the district court Of
Louisiana. This was Il ease of collision
ON the Mississippi river, upon which
the steamer Great Republic and Cleana,
small steamer, was steaming the lat
ter ahead, the former behind ut the
time of the accident. The Cleana start
ed to cross the river, and the Republic
following in her wake, overlook and
colldcd with her. Another question
was whether the accident was caused
by the attempt Of the Cleana to cross
when not far enough ahead to do so
with safety, or whether, by the RepubN
lie not keeping her course or going to
the right, when the Cleaua started to
the lett.
The court below charged the CIeana
with the fault, holding that she was
not far enough ahead Of Il faster boat
to warrant the attempt to cross. This
court reversed the decision, coming to
the conclusion that the movement of
the Cleana was justiiiedby the distance
she was ahead and that the Republic
was at fault in not keeping her course
when the Cleana tackled. Mr. Justice
! Davis delivered the opinion.
In the case of tlIe Germania and
other insurance companies against the
steamboat Lady Of the Lake, appeal
| from the district court for the eastern
district of Wisconsin, the court below
decided that the collision Of barge in
tow of Il steamer down the Mississippi
with the railroad bridge near st. Paul,
was occGsioned by an unavoidable ac-
cident and Che decree was accordingly.
The insurance companies appealed, al
leging unskilIiulness and neglect on
the part of the officers, and this view
is sustained here and the decree is re-
versed. Mr. Justice Clifford delivered
the opinion.
The board of audit report the debt
of the district at Si9,5O0,O00. The
board of commissioners claim assets
from various sources which make the
actual liability about Sl4, 00O,OOO.

When the men elected to congress
lately do take their seats in congress,

will be Il marked absence Of the vlo'

people has been chastened by war

ton. They are more serious, more self

The several teachers now engaged in

convention yesterday at the West Goulds-

exhibition OF the different modes of teach
ing IN order TO determine the best Your
correspond ent was pleased to notice that
the old fashioned method of rehearsiug a
large amount of generalities was not ap-
proved, but rather the new or object
method.
For instance.-Miss Trask. a teacher
from the Castine Normal school. reouested
the second class in Geography to draw a
map of the State of Maine on the black
board All did as directed in about two
minutes. Boy No. was then called Don
TO locate the PenObscot River. This he
did, by copying from his book, in about
one minute. Now, in my opinion, that
boy has learned something. He never will
forget the course. source and locality of
the Penobscot River, and in ten wears
from to-day he will be able to accomplish
the same feat more artistically, and with
out reference to any geography.
How many old fashioned students of
geography even locate that river from
memory! The showing up Of the object,
and the close attention called to it, and the
free use of the crayon by the pupil is the
ne plus ultra of teaching in the opinion of
