New YORK, June A Rome dis

drawn, yesterday, from the audience OF
account Of fexhaustion, and returned only
after repose. The doctors have decided
that deputations in the future will be con
solidated, and the Pope will be carried
through to avoid excitement and fatigue
of receiving them in detail.
ROME, June 4.-After the reception oI
the Italian pilgrims yesterday, the Pope,
who was somewhat indisposed, retired
and would see no one else.
AT ceremony at the San Pietro In.

Action Of the Hoard Of Education
Last Night.


The Board Of Education had before
them last night a proposition to author
ize the School Commissioners in any OF
the city districts to change the pres
ent school hours so rs to open their
schools in the morning at s and close
them at ! in the afternoon for the day.
We are happy to see that the proposition
was defeated, and we hope that such an
innovation will not gain u foothold any.
where in the city. The school hours are
not now any longer than they should be.
They are not oppressive to teachers or
scholars. They begin at 0 A. NJ. and end
at P. NJ, with an hours intermission for
dinner, which leaves only six hours ac-
tual school tlme-.litIIe enough we should
say.
There is n tendency to laxness in the
matter OF school attendance. We only
hold school five days in the week, and
have an abundance Of holidays and stop.
pages during the school year. Last fall
one or two OF the schools were closed in
order that some Of the scholars and
teachers might go to the Centennial,
which was all wrong There was time
in the summer vacation to have gone to
the Centennial. We only refer to this
circumstance now because it is pertinent
to this proposition TO shorten the present
school hours, and because it illustrates u
tendency that needs TO be checked. The
public schools are costly institutions, and
the people have right to require all the
advantages OF which they are capable du.
ring the school year. Every movement
that sQuints towards turning them into
fancy institutions loosens their hold
upon taxpayers, and snps their tounda.
tions in the public esteem. There is dan.
ger Of begctting suspicion that the
modern shool system is too much an in.
ventiOn Of teachers and principals
for their own convenience and advantage.
People cannot sec that six hours, after
deducting intermissions for play, are any
too much time for their children to be un-
der the instruction Of teachers. We hold
that their view in this respect is entirely
correct.

Action OF the Board OF Commits
HiOnerG ON the P..'W. d Ky. Kail.
road Question.

HiOneFR ON the H., w. ~ lay. knil.
road Question.
At the session OF this Board yesterday
resolution was passed submitting to
the people on the 7th OF August next the
question whether Ohio county will sub
scribe for $4,000 OF the 100000 oibonds
that arc to he Issued by the P. W.&Ky.
Company to complete their road. As
will be seen, the Board agreed to transfer
all Of the county's right title and interest
In the stock OF said road to such an Or
glni2ation as will complete it, which is
simply reatlirmation of their action
last year. In case the county agrees on
the 9TH OF August to take $4,000 Of the
company's bonds, she will come
in, like any other subscriber, for
her pro rata Of the stock. We
have already explained that the bonds
are to be.issued at 90 cents on the dollar,
and that every person who buys thou.
sand dollar bond will pay therefor 5000,
and receive 81 900 OF the S3SO,OO0 Of the
capital stock. This S3S0,0O0 represents
the amount OF money that has already
been expended by the two counties in the
construction Of the road. 1nasmuch rs it is
valueless as stock unless the road ia COM
plcted, and inasmuch as the road can not
be completed unless somebody advances
more money, therefore said stock is given
away by the two counties as an induce
ment to insure the completion OF the
road. Ohio county votes on the 7tll
OF August whether she with others
will 20 in anil finish the road
on the proposed new basis. She
votes, as If the question was an entirely
new one, to pay $4,000 in money for
$4,000 OF the bonds OF the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling & Kentucky Company and
$O5,O00 Of their old stock. In other
words, she goes in rs partner with
Capt. McI4ure, Michael Reilly, G. D.
Hubbard, Henry X. List and such other
persons US may take the other $4,000 Of
bonds,and with!them and the Pennsylvania
Company furnishes the money to com.
plete the road. The Pennsylvania Com
pany takes 100000 Of the proposed whole
amount OF 100000 OF the bonds. These
100000 OF bonds will realize $3.50, 900 in
money at ninety cents on the dollar, and
this amount, according to the engineer,
will finish the road ready for the cars.
We have thus stated the case plainly,
for we find that there are persons who do
not understand the action OF the Board
OF Commissioners yesterday, Some peo.
pie think that the proposition submitted
by the Board is whether the county shall
subscribe for $4,000 more stock in tho
road. Nothing Of the kind. 1t is simply
whether We have confidence enough in
the ability Of the road when finished to
earn I per cent interest on SlSO, 1000, to
put $4,000 into the pool along with the
Pennsylvania Company and the private
parties named.

\ Nest OF NcoundrcIsinthis StntC


An extract is furnished from Washing
ton from the report made by Gen. Duyal,
Collector OF Internal Revenue, 10 the
Treasury Department in regard to gang
of sCoundrels who are manufacturing
counterfeit money and crooked whisky
in the lower part Of this State. We
have already published some particulars
in regard to the recent raid on the
CROOKED" dissillers by deputy Atkinson
and others, but it seems that the root OF the
matter goes deeper into the ground than
would appear by what has been published
Gen. Duval says in his report to the Sec
retary Of the Treasury that
at is an astonishing fact that every
lawyer and officer Of the court in Mercer

rather surlily requesting her not to do
that again, began to make brief and
formal address. Before he had spoken
ten words Miss Wilson, with wild

shot swiftly upon the surface. Perhaps
this is the point where veil should be
dropped. To finish the narrative in as
few words as possible, ii may be said
that after half dozen futile efforts the
attempt to baptize Miss Wilson was
abandoned. With all his skill and
strength, the minister could not coun-
teract the efforts of the cork leg, and
could not keep the convert right side up
long enough to baptize her. She bore il
