to state that one of the assistant engineers
now employed has been engaged in that de-
partment for nearly twenty years, and no
fault has been found with him. The other
assistant, recently appointed, served reg
ular apprenticeship, as machinist, in the

and since then has served for several years
AS a chief engineer in the employ OF the Pa

MARYLAND LEGIsLATURB.-In the Sem
ate yesterday, bill was passed enabling the
city coun ell OF Baltimore to provide $50 600
for charging the city court house. The gen.
eral assessment bill was passed, In the
House, the bill proposing an amendment TO
the constitution to prohibit division of the
public school fund to sectional schools was
lost for lack OF constitutional majority.
The committee on education made q report,
deprecatipg the fact that SO large an expen-
diiure by the state for public schools has not
met with more gratifying results. The teach
ers are paid a mere pittance, which is doled
to them tardily and out of season. The COM
mittee deprecate all appropriations to insti-
tutions which have no connection with the
public educational system, such as colleges
and academies; and asks for instruction to
bring in bill to give the county school COM
missioners control of appropriations 10 acad.
emies; also a bill prescribing the terms upon
which appropriations shall be paid IN coli
leges. The education bill was considered.
The state board was reduced to five MEM
bers. An amendment was adopted placing
colOred schools under care of special trustees
in the county districts. White voters in the
several districts are TO elect yearly three dis
trict trustees, and indirectly 10 choose the
school commissioners of each county.

for celebrating the 10sth anniversary OF the

Elliot c. COwdin opposing the repeal OF the Bank
rupt law, offered resolutions which state "that
the repeal of the existing Bankrupt law would
be highly detrimental TO the best interests OF
business men OF all classes whether debtors or creditors
throughout the entire country; that the Chamber OF
Commerce believe these interests Will be better promoted
by amending the existing law rather than by Its total
repeal; that to be compelled, by the repeal OF
the National Bankrupt law TO 10 the 81 different
and conflicting systems Of bankruptcy existing under
state laws thereby revying the sharp practices OF at
tachmcnts assignments and the preference OF CREDITORS
would BIZ most and highly prejndcia to the best
interests Of the business community throughout the
Union that in the opinion OF ths Chamber 1t is the
duty OF Congress moify the present law in the
light Of the experience of the past eight years Of its
operation, to prevent far as possible existing
abuses unde - by adopting more stringent measures for
the treatment OF dishonest debtors, by extending the
tune within which criminal prosecutions for obtaining
credit under false representations may be brought aud
ndmeots NAV he contested thereby rendering the sys-
tenn more in consonance with the Interests OF honest
men, whether debtors nr creditors"
The resolutions were adopted after some debate.

WINTER WEATHER REVIEUED.

The weather during the Winter mouths has

such q wonderful execution as It has been thought.
Tie records Of the Meteorological Observatory at the
Central Park show that in January 1876 the average
temperature was only little over two degrees higher
than tile average for 1874, while the average for the
same month Of 1872 and 1873 within degrees
OF that Of last January. The mercury showed lower
average January 1875 than any for the last five
The Thermometer Indicted q mean temperature Of 3655
degrees in January last and In February fell 10 3236
degrees. Tie snowfall has been uncommonly light
December giving only q inch OF snow, January 1l9
inches, and February 124 inches which, COM
pared with last year, shows less than half a.
much. In December, 1874, there fell 10 inches
Of snow In January 1873, about IA inches, and In Feb
rlisry 4iQ inches while March gave amount larger
than either OF the Winter months reaching depth OF

IMPERFECT DOCK WALLS.

REPORT or THs ADVISORY BOARD OF ENGINEERS
on THE BULKHgAD WALLS At CANAL AND KING

PLETING THE wORK-TIE system OF PUTTING
CONCRETE IN MASS UNDER WATER TO BARREN.
The Advisory Board of Engineers-cOnposed of
Gen. John Newton Gen. Q, A. Gilmore, and William
q WOrthen--wbich was requested last Fall to ex-
anime and report upon the unfinished dock walls at
Canal and Kingsts., North River, has made its re-
port. II had been asserted that these walls were
defective and weak and the method of construction
had been opposed ia some quarters. The Board
Of Engineers, after q thorough examination,
declares that the structures not safe
and durable In their present condition, and
would not BE- with the further precautions intended
81 the designer lmperfectionS in the concrete
above and around the piles imperfect "set" and
separation Of the component parts of the material,
and the bad condition of the tops Of the piles are
IN the mass Of concrete showing dangerous settle
nent. In regard to the completion of the work the
Board finds DO reason to alter the materials prep
Aation Of the blocks already adopted, but suggests
change in the "hearting" No change III
the plan of the wan above the concrete is adj
Vised, but elaborate provision is made to resist
the thrust of the back-illing. In regard
TO the system Of constructing concrete masses in sta
under water the report does not condemn the Of
the system under certain circumstances, but ex-
presses the belief that these circumstances do not
exist in the case Of these dock walls, and recon-
mends that the blocks for the exterior forces shall
be constructed outside the water and deposited on
the pile foundation.
