A judicious expenditure of money in
duced the Legislature of Nevada to elect Mr.
SHARON Of san Francisco United States Sena-
tor. Mr.. SHARON's private business in Califor-
mia and elsewhere in the Pacific States requires
the most Of his attention, aud since his election
he has spent but very little time In Washington
MIR. SHARON Is n Republican. A judicous ex.
pendIture of money IN Connecticut likewise
resulted in the election of MIR. w. ii. BARHuM
TO the United States Senate from that state.
MIR. DARSuM likewise has large private business
interests to look after, and, Judging from his
record in the House Of Represents Il is
safe to predict that he will spend but little time
In the national capital. MIR. BARKUh is II Demo-
Graf, and thus the vacant chair OF Nevada Ia In
a fair way to be Offset by another vacant chair
from Connecticut, the Senators being of oppo-
site politics, SO that the absences OF these sena-
tors Will have no effect whatever upon the rel =
tive strength OF the two political parties In the
Senate. There was no concert of action bet ween
the Legislatures OF the two States to bring
about this arrangement; It was mere chance, or
to speak more accurately, IL 10 an effect OF the
law Of compensations.

The British Government is adopting
means TO improve and extend the system Of
popular education that was established "a few
years ago. A bill now before the Commons
which is sure of passage, empowers the local
authorities To enforce penalties upon parents
who neglect to send their children to school,
and provides that no child, up to the axe OF
fourteen, shall be employed at any industry
unless It shall have attended school for 1--we
ye-rs. The school law passed under GLAD
STONES administration was a long step In the
direction Of universal education, and has al
ready secured the elements OF knowledge to
mutitudes OF children belonging TO the neglect
cd classes. But it has proved inefficient In many
respects ard the changes provided for by the
new bill are very much needed. The DIsRAELI
Government does not propose to go backward
In this matter, but to advance and there is
ground OF hope that In time all English chill
dren will enjoy the advantages Of primary
schooling.

Early in March, Congressman WILLIS in
troduced a resolution. which was adopted, call
ing upon the Secretary OF the Treasury to
presented to and paid by tue department since
January, 1865, together with the names OF the
owners and their attorneys, aud other matters
specified IN the resolution. As the required In
formation has not been forthcoming, Mr.. WILLIS.
on Saturday last, addressed formal letter to
Secretary BRIsTow, inquiring as to the probabll-
itv Of an early compliance with the request. No
doubt the secretary will cheerfully respond to
the desire Of the House for light upon this sub
ject at the earliest practicable moment, not
outstanding the strenuous efforts that have
been m de to suppress the facts. There Is no
doubt that enormous frauds have been commit
ted in connection With the settlement OF cotton
claims. genuine and spurious, and the records
OF the Treasury Department should afford the
means Of fixing the responsibility for them Just
where 1t belongs. 1t is SAID that the sub-com-
mittee investigating the bureau of captured and
abandoned property have discovered deficit Of
six million dollars, for which no reasonable ex-
PLANTATION has been offered, and that sixty-seven
thousand dollars OF this amount Is charged to a
single clerk. This Is altogether too important a
matter TO be hushed up, and we trust that Mr..
WILLIS will persevere In his efforts to get at the
bottom facts. and that Secretary BRIsTow will
cordially assist him In the good work.

The Court of Appeals has confirmed the
decision OF the General Term Of the Supreme
Court In this district, according TO which
THOMAS DUNLAP was lawfully appointed Com
missioner of Jurors, aud DOUGLAS TAYLOR
ceased TO hold that ONCE when MIR. DUNLAP
took 1t. This decision interests a good many
people, and obviates many threatened litga-
tions. Had tho claim Of Mr.. TAYLOR been sus-
tained, great many lawsuits would have been
likely to arise on account OF the alleged incom-
potency Of the actual Commissioner of Jurors

II ia to the credit Of the Democratic
House OF Representatives that, 80 far US we are
able to Judge from the proceedings up TO the
present time, the sentiment OF the body 10

scription. This branch OF Congress seems de-

ton Of public affairs, far as II Is possible To 90
so In the face Of the persistent Efforts oil the
Senate TO maintain tho extravaganza ofexpendi-
ture which has characterized every department
Of the Government since GRANT has been IN
power; and II also manifests healthy tone OF
feeling in regard to the abuse OF legislative
powers for the benefit OF individuals or cor
porations, who seek exceptional favors from
CONGRESS under fallacious pretences OF a desire
for tho public good. To be sure, majority OF
the Territorial Committee have favored the New
Mexico scheme, one Of the rankest and most
preposterous Jobs ever thrust upon the atten-
ton OF Congress but the only Democratic Nom
bers Of that committee who are known Outside
of their own Congressional districts nave
promptly repudiated the unclean thing, and the
House In its entirety may safely be depended
upon to make short work Of the bill when II
comes up for final action. il IL said, also, that
majority of the same committee have agreed TO
report In favor OF the notorious Oklahoma job I;
but as the Committee on Indian Affairs will re-
port that no legislation relating to the tribes In
the Indian Territory ia expedient at present, we
suppose that this scheme to benefit few specu-
