THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.

THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.
The recent election for members of the Lon
don School Board resulted in total defeat of
the defenders of denOminatiOnal education.
In the old board the Liberals could count on
twenty-six out of fifty votes; in the new they
will havo thirty-one. he majorties for the
Liberal candidates were unexpectedly large
In every district excepting one the Liberals
were at the head of the poll. In Hackney,
Sir Charles Reed, President of the first board,
received 25,716 votes, not far from the high
est number given to any candidate; in Mary
lebOne, Mrs. Westlake, another Liberal can
ddate, led the poll the four ladies now mem
bers of the new board are all Liberals. In what
ever way the returns are analyzed, the defeat
of the denOmnationalists becomes apparent.
Especially does this appear when the aggre-
gate vote of the metropolis is considered; the
supporters of the School Board policy cast
about 100000, and their opponents 100000
votes, disparity so great as to show that
any further competition of the Church Schools
with the Board Schools il hopeless.
The significance of this election can hardly
be overestimated. 1t means the adhesion of the
English people to an unsectarian system Of
public education and the reputation of the
attempted control of education by the State
Church. The London Telegraph points the
moral of the result thus: "We regard this
ELECTION as proof that the rate-payers of
London believe they and not the clergy
should look after the public instruction of
"the young" The Weekly Dispatch says: "The
result of last weeks battle is great and
decisive victory over that immense majority of
"thc Anglican clergy, who have been doing their
"utmost so to hoodwink the public and 80 to
"subvert the Pubic Education Act of 1870 as
"to sacrifice the interests of the rising genera
"tion to their own greed of ecclesiastical and
Theological authority" The Tablet (Roman
Catholic) sees clearly the bearing Of this

Both houses of Congress made their con-
tributiOn yesterday to the telegraphic cOntro-
versy. The Senate, after good deal of ami
cable debate, voted almost unanimously to
compel the Oregon operator to answer the
questions put to him in regard to the trans
mission of messages through his office, while
the House, after listening to Mr.. Barnes's an
swer, had q sudden attack of discretion, and
referred the whole matter again to Mr.. KnOtts
committee. The questions which the Senate
has voted to compel the telegraph operator
to answer ale definite, and relate to particu-
lar kilograms. No such drag-net haul for tel
egrams is attempted as the House seems now
to be repenting OF, and the almost unanimous
vote of the Senate will carry conviction of the
Justice of its action.

1t is to be hoped that the movement, of
which an account is elsewhere given, for re-
ducing the debts of Virginia. North Carolina,
and Tennessee, and funding them in new
bonds, on which these States will be able to
pay the interest, will meet with abundant sue
cess. The proposal comes from the bond
holders, and involves a sacrifice on their part
of considerable proportion OF their claims.
Its acceptance, on the other hand, will re-
establish the credit and readjust the finances
of these cOmmOnwealths, and remove some
thing of the stain which the default of any
State puts upon the whole American name.
Though it is not the highest consideration to
urge upon debtors that unless they evince
disposition to deal honestly with their neigh
bors they will hardly prosper in business, new
ertheless it may not be amiss to remind these
delinquents that honesty pays best for States
as well as individuals.

The Commissioners of Taxes, in COM
municatiOn which we print this morning, cx-
plain why it is that the tax upon the capital
of the New-YOrk Central Railroad is not COL
lected in this city. They do not show, and it
is not their business to show, why it is not
collected at Albany. Plain people who know
what the law is, and know that the tax ought
to be assessed at the State capital if not here,
will be at a loss to understand how it is that
this rich company escapes its obligations al.
together, and the public treasury loses
ST, 100000 year to which the Court OF
Appeals has decided that it is entitled. The
Legislature will do we'll to make some sharp
Inquiries
New-York tribune., 1877-01-06

The Turks still stubborny object to Bull
garia being placed in the hands of a receiver,
for such is the purport of the Conference
scheme. They have secured the promise of
easier terms on some points from Lord Sails
bury, but the essential part of the proposed
settlement remains unchanged. The diploma
lists will reasscmble with the zest of gamblers
on Monday to discuss the question anew, but
they cannot consistently revoke the work they
have done. The prospects OF peace now de-
pend on the unanimity of the Conference, the
weakness of the Turks, and the comparative
mildness of the proposed terms. The proba-
bility of war, on the other hand, arises from
the angry passions aroused in the disturbed
provinces, the intense hatred between the
Turks and the Russians, and the fatality which
impes the Mohammedan population to defy
the foreign Powers. In the event of hOstil-
tiles the fairness of the Conference scheme will
give Russia the justification she desires for hav-
Ing recourse to arms.

The Cronin Electoral College seems to have
gone in {" for the old flag and-an appropria-
I" ton" The suspicion seems now to be pretty
well defined that CrOnin was not the only man
who had his expenses paid. This idea OF
paying electors and messengers out OF the
funds of campaign committees is the latest
sweet thing in electoral colleges, but we
should prefer ourselves to see the fashion
rage as far off as possible.

At the same time that tho official reports OF
nearly every State are showing marked reduc-
tions i'll State debts, and every message Is
burdened with the discussion of remedies for the
alarming growth of municipal Indebtedness,
the balance sheet of this city shows an increase
in its debt during the past year of more than
$50, 100000. This increase is due evidently
to delay in collecting assessments and to
the overissue OF revenue bonds to pay for i'm
prOvements. The taxpayer may be interested
to know that the amount of debt with which
the city begins the year, after deducting the
sinking funds, is precisely $119,S11,3lO 39.

Two legal arguments of Importance In their
bearing upon the Presidential muchness are
printed in another part of this issue. Both
cover the same ground from opposite points OF
view, Mr. Z. w. StOughton urging the right
of the President of the Senate to count the
votes, while ex-Judgc John A. Campbell
whose words as a former member OF our high
est court would have greater weight II he had
not afterward been a Confederate Assistant
Secretary of War-uphOlds the exclusive power
of Congress. 1t is worthy of note, however,
that Judge Campbell believes that all action
must be concurrent to be valid.

The Philosophy of Breathing.

Good air is one of the first essentials
in physical and vocal exertion. No one
can keep the body and mind vigorous
for any length of time in impure air.
And the most impure air is that which
is filed with the emanations from the
human system. The lungs should be
trained to free, full, and vigorous ac-
ton. They are, so to speak, the very
springs of vitality. The more immedi-
ate Importance of the lungs in the ami
NAL economy will be brought to mind
when we recollect that q person may
live for days without food, but to de-
priye him of air, even for few mo-
ments, is to deprive him Of life itself.
If our breathing is imperfect, all the
functions of body and mind are i'm
peded: in fact, tho manner of breathing
at any particular timeis almost as good
a test as the pulse itself of the general
state of the system, physical and men
tai. One of the commonest faults in the
use of the lungs is the habit of breath
ing, as it were, from their surface-not
bringing sufficiently into play the cos
tai and abdominal muscles. By watch
inc the domestic ANIMAL horse or a
COW, for instance-we may learn a les
son in breathing. We perceive that
there is very little motion near the fore
extremities, but the breath is impelled
from the TANKS. So should we have the
main action from the waist.-churcb

A Stage-COach Incident.

Many years ago, before the time OF
railways, the Oxford coach was full OF
undergraduates returning to their re-
spective colleges. The day was cold,
wet. aud miserable, when q well ap-
pointed carriage drove up to the White
Horse Cellar, Piceadilly. "Have you
room for one inside to OxfordP" asked
as pretty a girl as one would wish to
see on a summer day. "Whst
beauty!n exclaimed one. "Quite love-
lyi' said another. Perfect" hsPed
q third. "Quite full, miss" replied
the coachman, "inside and out"
" Surely you could make room for
one," persevered the fair applicant.
"Quite impossible, miss, without the
oentlemen's consent" slots Of room"
cried the insiders. "We are not very
large; we can manage to take one
more" "Ifthe young gentlemen con-
sent, said the driver, who was one OF
the best-tempered fellows on eartn, and
as honest as Aristides, 81 have no OBJ
action" "We agree" said the in
siders. "Au right" responded the
driver. The fare was paid, and the
guard proceeded to open the door anG
let down the steps. Now, miss, II
YOU please-we are behind our time"
"Come along, grandfather" cried the
damsel, addressing most respectable
looking, portly, elderly gentleman;
"the money is paid-get in, and be
sure to thank the gentlemen" at the
same time suiting the action to the
word, and with a wicked smile assisting
her respected grandfather into the
coach. "Here's some mistake; you'll
squeeze us to DEATH" cried the aston
ished undergraduates. But at that
moment "An right" Sit FAST" was
heard, and away ratified the coach at
its best pace, drowning the voices OK
the eresCfallen Oxonians.

Mr., JOhnsOn's Dollar.

1t is pretty much like talking at ran
dom to tell how valuable dollar may
be t,Co hundred gears hence. 1t is a
good deal when you get to it, but the
time is rather long to wait, and ones
personal interest in it would become an
"abstract " one, very indeed, before
the second century ended. However,
a dollar is worth saving and good to
put other dollars with.
A few days since, says an exchange,
Mr.. Johnson, connected with the Long
Branch Bank, and whose residence is
in Matteawan, N. Y, found one dol
lar bill in the ears. He could not find
an owner. A friend suggested to put
it in some trust company, with the pro-
viso that it shall bear interest, which
interest shall be compounded every
year, and at the end of two hundred
years a hospital be, erected with the
product. Mr.. johnson smiled, and sug-
gested that the amount was too
small. We have taken the trouble to
reckon what that dollar would amount
to, and find that the final sum would be
S1S1,072. This is reckoning at six per
cent. interest. The writer accordingly
suggests that the 81 shall be put out at
interest to found the "Johnson Hos
pital," to be built at Long Branch in
2O76, and all from 81 found in rail-
road car.

Untold Wealth Disclosed by a
Lucky Fall.
. D. CAMERON,
Secretary of Wan

Perhaps richer specimens, but GER
tainly no more beautiful ones, have ever
been taken from any mine than are
now being obtained from a recently dis
covered lode in Jimtown. The story
runs that for months the miners in 60
ing to and from their daily labors, have
travelled along a certain path, wearing
the earth away to a rock. A vein was
thus brought to light which presented
no attractions to the prospector, and
was trod upon as of no account. A Ia
borer, two weeks ago, swung a sledge
Upon his shoulders and started early in
the morning for his accustomed toll
upon the mountain side. Reaching the
vein he carelessly allowed the heavy
breaker to fall upon a projecting
point, and thereby detached several
pieces of the vein matter. The white
character of the rock and its glittering
particles disclosed to him one of the
richest mines in the world. Literally
full were the white specimens with
bright particles of almost pure gold;
and, although shaft has been sunk to
the depth of nine feet, the rock in
creases in richness, and at the bottom
very thin strips o: wire gold seem to
hold together the fragnlentary parts OF
the vein matter. Untold wealth is the
sure possession of the men, Virden and
Griffin, who own this treasure vault of
the hills.-DenUer NeSDs.

A Trotting Team of Oxen.

Dexter, the tanner of bovines, created
a great sensation on the streets yester-
day by appearing in carriage drawn
by four milk white oxen, all in harness,
and driven tandem. The gay and fes-
tive looking beasts pranced along in
fine style" heads up. and tails a
risin'," as our John would say. Gov
ernor Thayer was invited to take a ride,
and was driven about for some time by
Dexter. Other gentlemen also enjoy
ed the novelty. Dexter says that either
of his oxen can trot mile in 8 Al. He
offers to bet any amount Of money that
he can load a wagon with 1850 pounds
of freight, attach his four oxen, and
make better time to Deadwood than
any four-horse mule-team with the same
load can possibly do.
