four young ladies. The accomplish
ment of these young ladies cost the
taxpayers of Los Angeles a considera-
BILE sum of money-the expense of the
year being about eight hundred dol
lars for each young lady. This sum
would maintain a common school at
which fifty children are taught many
months. If we were in a financial
condition to do SO, we should be only
too happy to see high school MAIN
tanned year in and year out; but until
we have more money let us expend
what We have in the schools that will
secure the greatest good to the greatest
number. We offer the following sug-
gestions to the Board of Education.
Temporarily discontinue the higher
branches now being taught; fill the
High school building with lower grade
schools and you will not require so
many new school houses; employ a
good and competent man to superin-
tend the city schools at a salary of one
hundred or one hundred and twenty
five dollars per month; discharge your
ornamental teachers and secure a lit.
tie more work In the school room and
little less street exhibition; pay out
no money unless for value received.
Pursue this policy and no school need
be closed.

conservative Republicans.

1t may be known to many that in
the State of New York there has been
a large body of Conservative Republi-
cans, many of whom were originally
DOUGLAS Democrats, who have long
been waiting for an opportunity to
withdraw from their association with
the radical element with which they
have for years been affiliated. The
Independent movement did not at all
suit their fancy, nor did they four
years ago feel reconciled to going bod
lily over to the Democracy. In allud-
ing to this matter Harper's Weekly,
edited by GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS,
one of the strictest of the Radical
school, thus compliments the coming
man of the Democracy. CURTIS re-
marks that "Eov. TILDEN is one of
the most accomplished politicians in
the country" is "the one conspicuous
Democrat in the country who is
known as a reformer, has at present
complete ascendencyin his party in
this State, ,and his chance for the Pres
idential nomination of his own party
is to-day very much Better than that
of any other Democrat; and there is
no other man in that party for whom
dissatisfied New York Republicans
could so easily vote.n In the same
article the admission is made that
such an element exists, and most

Prof. chas. N. Steen.

This wonderful genius has been re-
leased from Alcatraz Island and will
soon appear in new role. We find
the following first class notice in the
Cdu: professor Charles n. Steen,
who travelled throughout the State
last year giving exhibitions in 'mind-
reading,n and "Spiritualism,n and
who was exposed by the Call, has been
liberated from Government Gu ustody
at Alcatraz Island, and is now in this
city. 1t will be remembered th at
about seven months ago, and two days
after the exposure referred to, Steen
was arrested by the United States au-
thorities and confined on the Island
tor desertion. He was liberated on an
order signed by Samuel Breck, Assis-
taht Adjutant-G He was dis
missed, so he states, for the reason
that no charge was preferred against
him. The order of discharge states
that the prisoner was released ,"it be-
ing impracticable to take final action
for reasons beyond the control of the
DcpdIt tIucuts sOolluldlueI. IL iS Dut
matter of simple justice to the au-
thorities to state that Steen admits
that he has been within the jurisdic-
tion of the United States continuously
for the two years Immediately preced-
ing his arrest. The Professor announ-
ces his intention of earning an honest
living by engineering marlonette
show and exposure of all the tricks of
"mind reading,n ''table rapping,n
.'materialization," and the "spiritn
medium business generally. He pays
high compliment to the spiritual"
reporter of the Call by saying that
that gentleman has been the means of
reforming him.

Our Schools and Their Management.

Now that the special election on a
tax for school purposes has passed we
may venture to present few remarks
on our schools and their management
without endangering ourselves to the
charge Of being opposed to education.
We may say without prejudice to
those to whom has been entrusted the
conducting of our public schools that
there is general and in the main
well grounded feeling of dissatisfac-
tion at the management prevailing
among the people. So long as this
sentiment obtains our schools will not
flourish, and the cause of education
must necessarily suffer. We do not
propose to charge the City Superin-
Iendent or the Board of Education
with willful neglect of duty or inten-
tional mismanagement, but it is our
opinion, and it is an opinion shared
by many Taxpayers, that there has
not been that system and dispatch
and economy of expenditure apparent
in the conduct of our schools which is
SO essential to the establishment of
confidence In the ability and judg-
ment of those on whom the duty de-
wolves. We see 1t stated by the Er-
press that the defeat of the tax will
probably result in the closing of the
schools for several months during the
year. There is not shadow of excuse
for all this. The city ought to have
sufficient funds to defray the expenses
of her schools for the school year. An
apportionmente OF, es13, 900 was paid
only few weeks ago. 1t may be
necessary to close the High school, and
we are inclined to the opinion that the
cause of education will not materially
suffer from temporary or permanent
suspension of this department of our
schools. 1t has been an appendage
far more ornamental than useful; more
expensive than profitable. This de-
partment costs the people many thou
sand dollars per annum, and the child
rem of not one taxpayer In hundred
ever reach the high school. For the
school year just closed we graduated

TO-DAY the opening ceremonies of
the Centennial occur. Metaphorically
speaking, all creation will in some
shape or another be represented. The
bird Of liberty will spread his wings in
ecstacy. Music, eloquence, and all of
the materialities Of the present age
will be spread before the. gaze of all
nations. Let us rejoice, that we have
lived to see this day, and at the same
time smother onr regrets that we are
not there to see. We congratulate our
friends who are on the spot. All hail

Tilden and His Prospects.

The New York Herald in late Is
sue reviews the prospects of the DEM
ocratic party, and particularly the op-
portunities both of TILDEN receiving
the nomination and the chance of the
party winning with him at the head.
1t is undeniable that both the State
and city Of New York are, and always
will be, from the character of the pop
ulation, divided into factions: and this
rule applies to all parties. Yet there
is often an existing application be-
tween the extremes to accomplish an
end that is in itself political anoma-
ly. Such an interchange of effort and
cooperation has existed for many a
year, particularly in the State of New
York, and hence the amount of cor
ruption that has of late been un-
earthed in the great metropolis.
Whatever opposition may come
against Governor TILDEN will arise
from the fact that he, as an honest
citizen, has always denounced these
combinations and every ring infiu-
ence in the management of State and
city affairs. The Herald upon this
point remarks that: eff it should be
said in other States, or said at ST.
Louis, that the Democracy of New
Vorly io not t,poo; p,ouo for Trr Dp>r ~
will be replied that this fact ought to
strengthen him with honest men, be-
cause it proves that he has shown no
mercy to the thieves of his own par
ty." Such compliment comes from
the leading journal of the country;b but
in addition to this we will assert, that
Governor TILDEN has been the enemy
of all thieves and thieving schemes,
come from whatever party they may.
Because of the political, or in other
words, the ring combinations that ex.
ist throughout the length and breadth
of the State of New York, whose re-
cord is traditional as we'll as matter
of history, and confined to no party
especially who oppose an honest
executive, it is argued that
through their influence aeTILDEN
will be beaten. Now we know better.
The days of BARNARD as a Democratic
Supreme Judge, and RUFE ANDREWS,
the Republican-Democratic affiliator
and connubiator, ARE ended. The sober
Democracy of New York have had
ample time for review of these
cliques of rotten composition, and in
the election of Gov. TILDEN took the
initiatory step toward clearing official
position from the faint of corruption.
Not only this, the material interests
of New York city have been subserved
by his conduct during his term of Of
flee, and hence through the ramifica-
tions of the interests of that city with
every portion of the country the con-
duct of Gov. TILDEN is criticised in
ofSiy paie vi tue Natioui anu yee ~
this hour there is not a finger raised
to point to blemish upon his per-
sonal character or his political actions.
Few there are in either party that can
produce such record after passing
through such an ordeal as has Mr..
TILDEN. The people from one end of
the country to the other look anx-
iously to the Democratic party in the
faith and hope that it will honor one
of its most faithful servants and insure
benefaction to much-grieved coun-
try.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-10

gladly will the mass of the Democ-
racy recognize the gracefulness of this
honest tribute from political oppo-
nent. It's effect upon this dissatisfied
element cannot fail of being benefi-
cial, and will go far towards electing
Governor TILpEN, should he receive
the nomination, which event appears
daily to become more probable.

"Puts" and "Calls'' are simple, easy and

objection to the ordinary mode of buying and

paid in every direction, balances are to be
looked after, interest to be stipulated, ac-

"Puts" and "Calls" dispense with all this
useless and time-consuming routine, by the
purchase of simple and straightforward
contract to do certain thing; to assume a
specified risk at fair and equitable rate.
The holder of such contract has nothing fur

watching the stock quotations and electing

All possibilities of error, of Intentional de-

WAsHINGToN, July l9.-Governor
Chamberlain, OF South Carolina, arrived
here to-day, and had consultation with
Secretary Cameron and Attorney.Gen-
ersl Taft, regarding the recent trouble at
Hamburg. The Governor was fully In
formed MS TO what the views Of the gen.
eral government are upon this affair, and
they are substantially to the effect that
the state OF South Carolina should exc
cute its laws, and bring to prompt trial
and punishment the parties guilty
of having melted riotous demonstrations
and murders Just reported. The subject
will, without doubt, receive full consider
alton at the next Cabinet meeting. The
impression beng that the administration
intends 10 insist on the state laws being
executed in this case. The conferences
between Gov. Chamberlain and the
Cabinet officers mentioned were very earn
est, the officials representing TO the fullest
extent the views Of the President and
Cabinet as TO the absolute necessity OF
prompt action on the part of the state
authorities. - 49,.
