Montgomery Queen.

Montgomery Queen, the great Show
man, has sent us the following with
request to publish. 1t explains itself:
Montgomery Queen is out with
long card in the New York Clipper, in
which he gives a statement of facts
connected with the assault recently
made upon him by avariety performer
named Ed Murray, in Il saloon in
Brooklyn, n. Y. 1t appears that Mr..
Queen, thinking the name of Alice
Ross, Murray's wife, was the nom dc
theatre for Alice Somers, young
lady with whom he wished to make
his show for 1876, addressed her a bus
mess card at the house where she was
playing This Murray resented, or
pretended to resent, as an insult, and
in company with party of rowdies
attacked Mr.. Queen and his agent, E.
d. Colvin, as has been before stated.
According to Mr.. Queens card, in the
Fall of 1874, this same Murray and
his wife came to him in San Francisco
penniless, and at the solicitation
of several members of his company he
gave them employment, although not
needing their services. Afterward
they travelled with the Hibernicon,
which, at that time had just arrived
in the State. They were always pro-
fuse in their expressions of gratitude,
and as no offense had been given him
or his wife, Murray's assault is all the
more difficult to account for. An ef-
fort will be made to indict him and
his party at the next session of the
Kings County IN. W Grand Jury.

Committee Report.

To the Common CouncH Of the city OF
Los angeles:
GENLLEMEN.-The undersigned your
Committee to whom was referred the
matters regarding the Board of Edu-
cation of this city respectfully report:
lst. That owing to the present con-
dition of the finances of the city they
are of the opinion that it isimpossible
for the city to transfer from any fund
of the city at the present time the
amount of money demanded by the
Board of Education.
I'd. That the question of the over
draft by the Board of Education and
the right of the City Treasurer to ap-
ply sufficient amount of the funds
recently paid to him and to the credit
of the school fund by the County SUI
perintendent, and now on deposit in
the Farmers & Merchants Bank, to
the satisfaction of such warrants, is
one between the City Treasurer and
the Board of Education, and that
since the Common Council under the
law has no power to control the school
fund, they do not believe the Common
Council could compel the City Treas
urer to obey the order relative to it.,
desired by the Board of Education.
Sd. That although it will doubtless
inconvenience the city to do so, the
Common Council, for the purpose of
avoiding expense and trouble conse-
quent on the levy ofa special tax, will
guarantee to the Board of Education
the sum of three thousand dollas, to
be used by them after the exhaustion
of the county and State apportion-
ments, as heretofore voted by the
Common Council.
4th. But if the Board of Education
is unwilling to accede to the PROPOSE
tion contained in the third paragraph,
the city being forced so to do and act
ing under the writ of mandate hereto
fore issued, your Committee would
recommend that the Common Council
reconsider its former motion and in
struct the City Assessor to proceed
with the assessment of the special tax
as heretofore ordered by the ordinance
providing therefore.

deluged the house. The hail destroyed

ANOTHER AsIENDMENT-
Proposed Election of POstmasters.
DRrshals, Collectors, Assess Ors
and other Federal Officers.

The intimatiOn that an effort will be
made to get the principle of a constitu
tiOnal amendment presented to the
house representatives last Monday, by
: S2ott Lord, Of New York, included in
the national Democratic pia form, has
excited some attention, and we give
Mr.. Lords resolution in full below:
WHEREAS, under the constitution, all
the officers of the United States, num-
bering, with dependents, about one hun
dTed thousand, penetrating into every
part Of the country, and having charge
OF its transmitted intelligence. are COM
missioned by the President, and are,
through the power Of appointment and
remOvSI, subject to the coercion Of any
administration in power, and required to
act, vote and contribute money in &C.
cOrdance with the central will, where
by both the caucuses and the
elections are controlled; and whereas,
such relations between the administra-
ton and the officers of the government
tend not only TO defeat the will of the
majOrity, and to degrade the indepen-
deuee and fidelity OF such officers, but
TO relax the rules Of official accOunta-
bility, which it is of supreme import
snce not only to maintain, but to ex-
tend; and whereas, securing the indie
peDdance of such officers from such CEN
tssl control is the only method by which
the evil can be remedied; therefore,
Resolved by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America, in congress assembled, two.
thirds Of each house cOncurring therein,
that the following amendments to the
constitution be and the same are hereby
proposed to the legislatures Of the sew
eral States:
Article-Section l. All po5tmasters,
ma. shals, assessors aud collectors, ex-
cept collectors Of customs duties, shall
be chosen for term of four years, at q
general election by the electors Of the
district, city, town or village In which
the duties Of their offices are to be per-
formed
Section 2. The congress shall enact
suitable laws to exscute the foregoing
article, and to insure the faithful dis
| charge of the duties Of such officers, and
| for their9 removal by the President for
| official misconduct, and in case Of q re-
| mOvsl for an appointment, until the
next general election, ami for filling va
| cancies in such offices.
Article -, Section l. The congress
| shall enact suitable laws for the preveD-
| ton and punishment of official miscOn-
| duct, and 20 insure official accountable
ity.
Section 2. No person indicted for
| bribery or for converting the public
money, or called as witness in relation
| thereto, shall be excused from testlfying
OF the ground that his testimony will
| tend to criminste himself; and any per
: son convicted of such bribery or eOnver.
I sion shall not be paTdOned, and shall
! be disqualified from holding any office
OF honor, trust, or p.otit, under the
! United States.
