LONDON, April THE Paris CORE
spondent Of the Times states that Prus-
STA has sent notes to the other powers on
the subject Of a correspondence with
Belgium, and declared she would await
the result Of the Duchesne investigation.
The correspondent information is prob
ably incomplete, as the triviality Of the
German complaints don't seem to justify
subsequent significant expressions. The
gravest feature of Prussia's note is that
the complaints are directions against the
Belgians generally, whose attitude is
considered hostile towards Germany.

The wardrobe Of the Pope is thus de-
scribed in a letter to the Paris Figaro:
1.-THE Pope wears out, during the year,
six white-silk c~spuchins, which are
chiefly spoiled by taking snuff; these
cost his Holiness $50 apiece. His 81 p
pers, made Of red cloth, embroidered in
gold, cost from $25 to $50 a pair, and
half a dozen pairs are used during the
year, while the Pope in winter e
white.silk stockings over cotton ones,
and in summer a mixture of silk and
thread, for both Of which he pays IS a
pair. His Holiness red mantle also is
worth 800. His cast-of garments are
always burned, no other use being
thought sufficiently honorable for the
clothes which have been worn by the
Vicar Of Christ

ANp SCHOOLS.

The rate of State ad valorem tax on
the $500 worth of property is 40 cents,
school tax 10 cents; total State tax, 90
cents. The Quarterly County Court
fixed the rate of taxation for county
purposes yesterday; Current county
tax, IS cents; poor-house and pest
house tax, 10 cents; Judgment tax, 5
cents; court. house improvement tax, 8
cents; courthouse purchase tax, 10
l0c; Memphis and Ohio railroad coupon
tax, lee; school tax, &c; total county tax,
zoe; total State and county tax,
81 20. Add to this the city tax,
limited under the new charter to 81 so,
and we have to pay in the city of Mem
phis 81 80, on the one hundred
dollars worth of property. This is
surely enough, but is not as bad as a
year or two ago, when the tax amounted
to nearly six per cent. A portion Of this
tax can be paid in county and city evil
dences of Indebtedness, which will re-
duce the amount actually required
in greenbacks to something under
81 40. The total school tax amounts to
rs cents on the 800 in the city and Is
cents in the rest Of the county. With
careful management and economy cor.
responding with the stringency Of the
times this will support as good q system
of schools as the public welfare requires.
We approve a high standard of educa-
ton, but much of this and, indeed,
all the practical part, nearly,
is s~elf-acquired in the active pursuits Of
life. 1t is not possible, or even advis.
able, in the nature Of things, for every
boy and girl to have a collegiate educa-
ton. 1t is well enough to read Homer
and Virgil, and to master higher mathe.
mates and French and all that, but after
all an intimate acquaintance with Web
ster's spelling-book, with English gram
mar and arithmetic, is about all that the
majority have time to acquire, and these
when grated on hard common sense and
good home training, win enable the boy
of self-reliance to work his way through
the world and to be a useful, highly re
spected citizen. Many of our greatest
public men and most successful mer
chants, bankers and mechanics and
farmers can boast of no better education
than that indicated. We are not making
war on any particular system, and would
desire to see every child have at least the
rudiments Of a liberal education, ant
with the present appropriation by thu
State, county and city this is not onl!
possible, but quite feasible. In our cit,
schools it may be necessary to dispensl
with principals, cut down seme salaries
and curtail expenses at various points
and if there ever was a time demanding
severe retrenchment, economy and re
form, it is right now.

THE special clause in the forty third
section ofthe new city charter, whatever
its legal effect, and we do not undertake
to decide constitutional questions while
SO many courts are accessible, was doubt
less aclerieal blunder. The section in
question, with others, was transferred
from a bill written up for Memphis. A
general motion to strike out "Mempbis''
and in sert such cities having a pop.
ulation of over $1,000 inhabitants-pre
vailed, but in this instance was not OBJ
served. la any event it is an error, ant
an awkward one.

NRw York, April IA new suit un-
der a recent act Of the Legislature has
been begun against VIM. NJ. Tweed to
recover back $6,1sS, 1851 paid out under

The usual large crowd sought for ad-
mission to the Brooklyn City courtroom
to day to listen to the continuance of
Beecher's testimony in the great scandal
case, but only the regular number were
allowed to enter. Judge Nelson and all
the counsel were on hand early, and at
eleven o'clock Mr.. Bescher resumed his
place on the witness stand. The counsel
for the defendant consulted about eleven
minutes, when Mr., Evarts said it would
be better that Mr., Chambers further
examination be deferred until he could
have a short stay in the country, when
he might be able to attend court. The
Judge and plaintiff counsel concurred
in this suggestion.

The following extract from the New York
Herald of May Ali, introduces plainly the sub.
ject of the Pope's probable residence in the
United States. It will be remembered that
the Herald is Catholic organ:
If the Pope himself should even come to
reside among us, no intelligent Protestant
would grieve, and our whole Catholic popula-
tion would find a new motive for loving their
country. Nothing would do so much to
spread the great American principle Of COM
plete separation Of Church and State through
out the world as for this country to become
the local seat of Papal authority.
The Pope would enjoy here the most per-
feet freedom in the discharge of his ecclesias-
teal functions, and the genius of our govern
ment is SO totally repugnant to any blending
Of ecclesiastical aud civil authority that moth.
ing would tend SO powerfully to a final disso-
luton of every church in Christendom from
ties to q supporting State. There is no sound
reason why any citizen should object to a
Pope, much less to Cardinal, on American
soil. Our people have become too enlightened
to think liberty is endangered by the Catholic
faith.

WHAT Is TO BE DONE WITH THE
SUFFERING 2

with all due respect to those who are pro
iac.;np relief for our idle laborers, we believ'
thew will induce very few to go to the country
and we doubt the policy and humanity O
sendipe the mass OF those now out Of employ
ment into the country. So far as we can learn,
the laborers now seeking employment, as
class, have never lived in the country. They
have lived here and have their families here
they are all 'lengshoremen and day laborers OF
every kind, and have been in the habit OF
earning more in a month here than they
could in four months on the plantations.
It is now late in the season to send men to
the country to engage in work which they
have not been accustomed to do. While We
would be glad to see all our surplus popula-
ton, at times like these, in the country as pro-
ducers instead of being here as consumers,
there must be a reasonable common sense,
practical view taken Of the habits, condition
and expectations of these men.
We would not discourage all efforts to send
back to the country those who came from it.
and are acquainted with farm and plantation
life. Bat we feel sure that the large proper
ton of the idle laborers will not 60 to the
country, and that some means must be found
for the their employment here; even if they
have to live upon stinted allowance, we be-
lieve it better that old acclimated citizens
should not be forced to leave the city with
their families.
We are certainly near the turn in our af-
fairs now, and there will soon be work for
all We have too many vacant houses al
ready. Population makes trade. and land
lords and property holders should, in press
ing time of need like this, contribute to the
support of those who are unwillingly idle,
and not be in too much haste to drive unfor-
tunate tenants out of the CITY,
