! to secure the education of youth, under
Sect. 10 Of the school laws, is wholly inad-
equa;e to prevent large amount OF habit
ual truancy. 10 view OF this fact the atten-
ton Of the City is respectfully called to the
necessity Of passing truant laws, In con-
formity with the provisions OF Sect. IS Of
said school laws
EMPLOYMENT OF TEACHERS, BEGINNING
AND LENGTH OF TEBMs.
The City Solicitor having expressed
doubts as to whether by the first clause Of
Section 81 of the school laws. the power Of
employing teachers and determining the
beginning and length of school terms
vested in the School Agent or the Com
mttee, the attention of the City Council is
called to the Importance OF defining the
powers and duties of Agents aud Commit
tee IN these particulars.
CONCLUSION.
The common school Is the very life blood
of the Nation aud the Nations institutions.
blow struck at our schools Is a blow
struck at liberty, morality and a Repubi-
can form OF government. But aside from
its refining and morallzing influence. the
common school repays to the utmost farth-
Ing every dollar expended in its support.
Ignorance, characterization aud dleness,
are more expensive TO municipalities than
are the public schools which counteract
these alarming evils by developing oppo-
site qualities.
The Committee would say for themselves
that they have tried to do their duty by
the matters placed'in their charge That
duty has not always been easy. The lack
of public Interest In the welfare Of the
schools (Which. however, does not prevent
an abundance of fault finding) Is a great
obstacle TO success. The division OF re-
sponslbiiity between the Committee and
the agents, bcget, confusion and some
times uninteutioual neglect and even dis
cord In ssme cases the agents have neg
lected TO send in the proper ro.iee of the
beginning and end OF the schools in their
districts, and tie Committee have there
fore not been aware OF their duty TO visit
Until too late. In town covering so large
an extent Of territory, the prompt notiiica-
ton by the agent j. matter Of prime ne.
ces~ity. Our schools Will never reach their
highest success till they are placed in the
exclusive charge OF one man or set of men,
who shall do all the business and bear all
the responsibility. Such person or persons,
should be carefully chosen and generously
compensated At present the compen.

OF your Committee, aud by it they ak 10

The Tournament.

THE GRAND TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY DELLA
WARES KNIGHT WINS.
The Grand Tournament which was one
Of the features of yesterday at the Centen-
nial, was participated in by the following
knights; Fl. Crozier, representing New
Hampshire e. Il. Mcfarland, Jr., repre-
senting Massachusetts VIM. P. Bryan,
representing Connecticut Geo. V. Bacon,
New York @. d. Chapman, New Jersey
Il. NJ. Perry, Pennsylvania R. L. Kane,
Delaware r. W. Hereford, Maryland p.
A. Scaggs, Virginia ]. M. Hardy, North
Carolina; F. Nelson Jarboe, South Caro-
lima; O. A. Fox. Georgia Charles White,
Jr., representing the Centennial, and A. b.
Suit, representing the Union. The knights,
however, were not genuine representatives
OF the States that they were supposed to
represent, and in fact nearly every one of
the contestants was from either Maryland
or Virginia.
The tilt was won by the Knight of Della
ware, who carried off 8 rings in the three
trials. One of the judges was Gen.A. T. A.
Torbert, of this State. In the evening the
ceremony of browning the Queen of Love
and Beauty took place in the Judges Hall,
and afterwards there was dancing. The
Queen was Miss Park Perkins, Of Bucking-
ham county. Virginia. She was attired in
beautiful white satin dress with
long train, and was herself
a beautiful blonde, with dark brown hair,
and easy self-possession, which. well befitted
the part. Her Maids of Honor we're Miss
Ida Griffin, of Prince Georges county,
Maryland, dressed in white silk; Miss Bes-
sic Holland, of Tallahassee, Florida, attired
in corn colored silk; Miss Ida Taylor, of
Baltimore, a light blonde of /" sweet six
teen," dressed in white silk, and lastly
Miss Mary Bladen, of Philadelphia, young
miss Of about twelve summers, also dressed
in white silk.

PoIIticaI Notes.

The Republicans have majority on joint
ballot in the Indiana Legislature, allowing
the Independents to act with the Demo-
crats-which they will probably not do.
The Senate stands 23 Republicans, to 25
Democrats and Independents the House
So Republicans to 45 Democrats, and 2 In
dependents.
Democratic frauds in Cincinnati, at the
recent election, are freely charged. The
Gazette publishes lists Of voters, whose res
idence is unknown, or who are known to
live elsewhere. In one precinct there were
over 200 of these. The Commercial says
"The Democrats recognized the importance
of Cincinnati, and spent their money lber-
ally. We have heard, on what we believe
to be coed authority, that the cash sent
here from New York to secure the re-elec-
tion of Sayler and Banning was $40, ,000, and
that $1,000 came out Oh Monday last, the
day before the election, for use in the
wards on election day. This money was
used at the polls. There was as much as
$500 eent to some of the wards"
OF Connecticut, the New Haven Journal
and Courier says "The Connecticut Re-
publicans are now thoroughly aroused, as
our record of current events in the State
canvass will show. Never has there been a
better or more enthusiastic feeling among
the Republicans of the State than at pres.
ent, and it is their determination to redeem
the State next month, 1t can be done, and
we believe it will.
information from various parts of India
ma has been received by the Republican
committee at Washington which renders it
certain that fraudulent Democratic vote
ranging, at the lowest estimate, from six to
eight thousand, was thrown in that State.
Norristown Herald "Gen. Mcclellan is
announced to take the stump" 1t remains
to be seen whether he can take even so
gentle thing as stump without calling
for reinforcements. He should use strate-
gy, and dig a trench all around the ''stump"
before he ventures to take it."

The TrAveI ON the sa.lrOad.

AN IMMENSE MOVEMENT OF PEoPLE--THoUs-
ANDe TRANSPORTED FROM WILMINGTON
ALONE.
The P. ". and B. Railroad yesterday
carried a very large number of peo-
pie to Philadelphia. We ascertain
that during the day % regular trains
passed North through or from this
city, some Of them having as many
as three sections, and that extra trains
were sent, of which were from this city.
These trains and sections averaged ten cars
each, with an average Of so persons to each
car. The first train left here at g. 40, and
about every twenty minutes thereafter, one
WAS sent off, until the immense crowd of
people were removed. 4744 tickets to the
Centennial Grounds were sold in this city,
of which 1900 were cold by E. Bringhurst &
\ sS5me oa the trains went very much crow
ded, but the railroad officials say that the
people neglected to take advantage of room
offered them, in some cases. The train at
7.10 had Is good market cars, fitted up with
seats, and could have taken 500 pa sengers,
but had only 322 At 8.42, the
train = which had passenger cars
could have taken so more persons, and at
10 Is and 1116, the trains each had or 5
empty cars. The two ticket offices at the
depot we're kept open throughout the day,
the one inside only being closed for about
ten minutes.
