TIE LATE JAMES NJ CARLISLE.

The family of this eminent man, whose
alone sustain loss by his demise nor will its
members alone cherish his memory. He
was an exalted example Of domestic devo-
ton, fond and faithful in all the relations oil

this private virtue that his public life was
50 pure and perfect As TO cause the Capital
and the country 10 hollow his name with
those who dwelled in his heart and home
OF his distinction In his pro,
fession we need not speak, for tina,
is wide as the record of our jurispru-
dence We will simply allude 10 his
triumphs In the unheraldcd fields Of friend
ship and philanthropy in which, however
great his achievements elsewhere, rs high
est honors were won. Perhaps there nevei
lived man who felt greater interest in tht
general good or gave more freely to aid II
its promotion, But his Distinguishing char
acteristic was his sympathy with the young
striving for advancement. Quick TO detec
worth and ability there was no service TO,
laborious TO be rendered young men possess
ing these qualities with whom he wa
brought in contact; and the Union is full o
such who owe their preferments in life II
his friendly counsels and often to his NOR,
substantial aid. Just, generous and gentle
he drew all toward him by the charm o
his manner and the refinement OF his sen
siblitics
Wise among the wisest, he was still genia
and fond Of lively company, Jest and re
partee, but never wounding with the keel
blade of his wit. Firm and faithful, nothin,
could sworve him from the faith he doeme,
to he in the line OF duty, and nothin;
daunt his courage in the right A tru
friend, there were none whose good fortuna
brought them into close relationship will
him who did not regard his nobility OF sou
as divine exemplar.
But fair words will not make wrcatlis, no
will eulogy soothe sorrow lie has gone

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, MONDAY MORNING. MAY e. is77

clusion was reached. THE REPUBLICAN, has
heretofore taken occasion to say that II has
no particular individual to recommend for
the place. The names of number OF prom
inent gentlemen have been suggested, either
of whom would make good Commissioner.
All that we do insist upon is that in this APP
pointm mt home rule shall he recognized
aud that the now Commissioner shall be q
citizen aud taxpayer Of the District, one
who is directly interested in our material
prosperity and welfare. We believe that IL
Is the desire of President HAYES TO appoint
some one who understands our wants and
needs, and who would I've acceptable to the
majority Of our citizens. When the Prcsi-
dent started in the good work of setting up
good governments in South Carolina and
Louisiana, he advised with gentlemen OF
both political parties, and the result has
been satisfactory, except to few discoh-
tented individuals. We would suggest that
in our case he call in certain representative
business men for consultation, and he could
then make aD appointment which would I've
cminently satisfactory. Our whole people
want a good citizen as Commissioner, md
they won't bother their heads about the
politics of the sppointce.

THE FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS.

Although the Cabinet, at its last meeting,
had under consideration the subject of for
eign appointments, we understand that no
sweeping changes are to be made immcdi-
ately. The only important diplomatic
change at present will he the appointment
ola Minister TO Brazil, in place of Mr..
PARTRIDGE aud Minister to Austria in
place OF Mr.. BEALE, who resigned yes
tcrdny. With regard to tho appointment
of Consuls, the Administration will act with
deliber,ion, and mere politicians need not
expect rewards Whenever or wherever n
change is determined upon due regard will
be had to the commercial qualifications OF
the appointed and to his familiarity with
the business at the post to which he may he
assigned. Another requisite will be some
knowledge of the language and customs of
the people TO whom he may be accredited.
by pursuing such wise course in making
these appointments American interests will
be better represented abroad than ever here
toiore; honor will he reflected upon the
country in greater degree, and the COM
mcrce of the country will reap advantages
of which II IL greatly in need.

THE GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING.

Ii is matter Of surprise that newspapers
should commend the system OF farming out
the Government advertising through New
York advertising agent, and ut the same
time claim that there is Il saving to the
Government. Editions who talk that way
have not certainly examined the law on the
subject. If they had done 50 they would
have ascertained that the rates are definite
and fixed. Section $50 of the Revised
Statutes fixes the fees as follows:

CORPORAL PuNIsHMENT IN SCHOOLS.


CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.
When we read in the New York papers
that some of the members Of the Boarl of
Education there are DESTROYS OF restoring
tlosging in the public schools as n rule, We
cannot divcst our minds of the impression
that civilization is playing out in the metro
politan city. And when we read fur Their
that nine out OF ten of the teachers favor
logging on tho ground that il is not posi-
BILE to maintain discipline without using
til" rod, we naturally reach the conclusion
that New York is sadly in need Of good
teachers. The proposition Is n most bar
| barOus one. The sentiment of the age,
ut Toast in the United States, nvolts at the
bare suggestion OF turning or public school
houses into Doihcboys Halls and il Is "a
satisfaction 10 know that there are very few
communities in which discipline oil
| WAcKFoRD SoUEERs would be tolerated.
This much-ahuscd city OF Washington
could teach New York good lesson in the
matter Of school management, AZ IL eau in II
good many other things Will. our school
trustees have not deemed IL advisable TO
percmptorily prohibit Corporal punishment
our teachers understand that the practice Is
reprObated, and those are regarded 10 the
highest favor who manage theil schools by
other means than resort TO brute force.
The consequence IL that the number Of cases
Of so-called corporal punishment is decreas-
ngycar by year. We say "so-called, because
for long time there has not been case OF
foggng, as the word is understood Under
the rules of the school board teachers are
required TO report the lightcst tap of the
hand, II given rs punishment, us q case OF
corporal punishment. During the yeaI
covered by Superintendent WILSON'S report
a synopsis Of which was published in Satur-
days REPUBLICAN,, the number Of pupils
present and punCtual ut r"ery session each
month was $3.50, aud the mum her present at
each session during the entire year was ,i:'2
aud the whole number OF cases of corporal
punishment was 30 These eases occurred
in iiity-four schools, and in one hundred and
twelve schools there were mono. We have
competent teachers here, and the schools
are well managed without the rod, and we
doubt whether there Is one of our teachers
who would accept an authorization TO use
the rod at will; and we repeat that what
were reported as cases Of corporal punishment
were nine tenths of them such in name only
