An investigation Needed.

The Mayor, on the application Of the Com
missioners of Charities and Correction, has
decided to investigate the charges against the
management of that department embraced in
the presentment Of the Grand Jury. The in
vestigation is needed, and it must not be
made in Pickwickian manner, simply to
save the appointees of Mr.. Havemeyer. Ac-
cording to the statement of Mr. Laimbeer
inaccuracies" as he is pleased to call them,
have already been discovered in the accounts
Of the department by the Commissioners of
Accounts, who have been called in to make
an examination, and, although the Chief Clerk
is sought to be held solely responsible, there
is good reason to believe that the whole
department needs publication. A million and
o half dollars is no small sum to disburse
annually, and if the reports that reach us are
well founded it will be discovered that the
reform" administration has not been superior
to the temptations which proved too strong
for Tweed and his associates. There should
be no delay in the investigation, and if Mr.
Havemeyer should evince disposition to
treat it as he treated the charges against the
Finance and Police departments some public
spirited citizens should take it out OF his
hands and avail themselves of the protection
afforded by the charter.

ever. Even Prussia, in spite OF her boasksd
system Of general education, shows no ssoh
signs Of progress as are seen in the United
States. France, Italy and Spain are, of courys,
far behind. With our new belief in the cara-
bilities Of free schools for infinite develop
ment and with renewed opposition to ses-
tartan schools Of every class-except thee
logical seminaries for the education of the min.
listers Of religion-we may well expect to mako
great strides Of advancement in the next few
years. If to the excellent rudimentary educs-
ton now afforded by the free schools in al
parts of the country are added facilities for
acquiring knowledge of music, literature,
the modern languages, natural science and the
higher mathematics, our so-called colleges
will soon become useless, and even OLD Har-

Education in Europe and America.

Education in Europe and America.
Mr.. Francis W. Newman, the radical writer
on education in England, in recent paper is
immensely complimentary to the United
States Our free schools, he thinks, are mod
els for the rest of the world. What especially
strikes Mr.. Newman as remarkable in our
common school system is the fact that we have
abandoned the old methods. studies and tradi-
tons and boldly carved out system Of our
own. In new country, with the determine
ton of the early settlers united upon making
education general and free, this was inevita-
bic, and in the absence of q large number of
endowed schools it was comparatively easy of
accomplishment The only real drawback in
elevating the standard of general education in
the United States has been found in the secta-
rian colleges. great number of these, with
pretensions far beyond their merits, exist in
every part Of the country. They have assumed
to give the youth of the country the higher
education, which it was held the free schools
would not be able to give. The result has been
to retard that growth which our colleges were
country to prevent the formation OF free
schools above the grade of grammar schools.
In England and Germany, where endowed
schools, and what might be called endowed
prejudices are more numerous and more last
ing than in this country, their influence has
been strenuously and successfully exerted to
prevent any general higher education what

they should agree as attorneys, leaving to
either contestant the responsibility of dissent
ing from the terms. This proposition seems
to have been accepted perforce, and the At
torney General then submitted the final plan
of settlement.
Throughout this controversy Baxter has
certainly held the strongest position and
has seemed to have the best case. His origi-
nal proposition was to refer the settlement Of
the contest to the Legislature; and the prompt
aid of the federal government in protecting
the General Assembly from armed violence
would have brought about termination of the
trouble several days ago. His friends at
Washington have acted with temperance and
discretion, evincing a cheerful readiness
to yield minor points provided the
great end of the constitutional action
of the State Legislature could be reached.
Brooks, on the other hand, by first opposing
the converting of the Legislature and threat
ening that body with violence placed himself
in opposition to the express letter of the State
constitution, while, in afterwards proposing
that the Legislature shall decide the contest,
be comedies the incompetency of the Court
upon whose decision his seizure of the
government was justified. 1t is singular,
too that at the moment his friends at
Washington were arranging the terms of
settlement, based upon the constitution
and laws of the State, he telegraphed to
the President an appeal for recognition and
federal aid as the rightful Governor of the
State, legally placed in Office and holding
actual possession. Unfortunately while these
negotiations were proceeding at Washing
ton yesterday, the tools and accomplices
OF the rival factions were spilling each others
blood in Arkansas, and bringing fresh re-
proach on the country. 1t is to be regretted
that the peaceful solution now so nearly
reached was not brought about, as it might
have been, through the fundamentally of the
federal power before the soil Of the State was
stained with blood, and it is to be hoped that
there will be no further temporizing with
SO dangerous q question, but that it's
settlement will be firmly enforced by the
President. In view of the folly and reckless
ness heretofore displayed on both sides it may
be just as well to send General Sherman to
the scene OF the disturbance as a sort of safe
guard against backsliding, and to keep him
there until the Governor constitutionally de-
clared elected shall be firmly established in

There is charming diversity this week in
contemporaries deem worthy Of notice. Tho
Independent, now that the temperance excite
ment has subsidized little, takes up the wine
words Of Scripture and reviews rather sharply
the temperance exegetes who deny 30 stren-
uously that the Jews used fermented wine at
their feasts. 1t quotes from missionaries who
have lived in the East to prove that the only
wine known now or ever known there is fer
mented, and no method of preserving it un-
fermented is known. That the wine produced
by our Lord at Cana aud that of the Last
Supper contained alcohol, the Independent
thinks, allows Of no reasonable question.
The Methodist thinks the fraternal dele.
gates from the Methodist Episcopal
Church TO the General Conference Of
the Church South. now in session in
Louisville, have gone on bootless errand.
They have no powers to settle anything nor
even to propose o settlement or reference Of
disputes between the two sections. The
Southern Conference has already, early in its
session, appointed o committee to suggest
plan for regaining the Church property belong
ing to it, but now in possession Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. Until the Northern
Church can offer something tangible in this
direction all hope of determination or union
may be considered dubious.
The Christian hsteuigencer rejoices at the
spread of Professionalism in Russia, which has
aroused the ire Of local paper of st. Peters,
burg. If Russia should become largely Prot
estant the hateligencer believes it would fur
nish key for the Contamination Of Asia and
its hundreds of millions on grander scale
than has ever been possible hitherto.
The Observer lays the lash on the backs OF
the New York manufacturers of "foreign"
correspondence for the religious press. It
declares that the man who makes money by
manufacturing lies for the religious news
papers is no better than Ananias, and de-
serves to be struck-from the society Of
honest men, Recurring to the murder OF
missionary Stephens, in Mexico, the Observer
charges it to ssthe Romish spirit in America"
The Evangelist is satisfied that Presby-
terrain Ecumenical Council is needed, that the
different branches of the great family may
come together and know one another more
and better Some kind of union is needed,
though it does not advocate any form Of or
ganic union.
The Tablet draws comfort from the auspi-
cious day which ushered in the Month of Mary,
1874, as indicative Of golden opportunities
offered to Christians of doing special homage
to God and honoring those whom He delights
to honor.
The Boston Pilot calls attention to the inn
portance of higher education for the future Of

have more men of leisure in America and that

TIE WEST REPUDIATEs REPuDIAroRs. The
Chicago Tribune foots up the opinions of the
press of nine Western States on the Presi-
dents veto, and finds that two hundred and
sixty-eight support the veto, one hundred and
sixty-fve oppose it and twenty-nine express no
opinion on the subject The verdict of the
press, it believes, will be '.for the veto. 1t
will show conclusively that the West repudi-
ates the repudiators; that Carl Schurz, not
John A. Logan, gives voice in the Senate to
Western thought on finance"
