THE ROD IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

Says the N. Y, SFan:--For good many
hours yesterday the Board of Education
discussed the important question of
once more legallzing corporal panish-
ment in the public schools. Among the
arguments in favor of the amendments
that are intended to practically super
sede the bylaw of the board that pro-
hibits corporal punishment were these:
That the proposed amendments leave
the general rules of discipline IN the
schools unaltered; that there have been
seventy-six annual dismissals from the
schools since the bylaw has been opera
tive; that the board has, in these dismis-
sails, done all in its power to make seven
ty-six vagrants; that the bylaw offers
premium to the pupil who dislikes to at
tend school, and the teacher that dlslikes
him, and that the amendments provide
only for the case of the pupil whose ex-
pulsion Is inevitable, by affording, If his
parents are willing to have him corpore-
ally punished, a way of keeping him in
the school, In the army of arguments
against the amendnl entS were these: That
the amendments are designed to over
turn a most successful system of teaching
without the aid of the rod; that the pro-
hibitory bylaw was founded upon full
inquiry as to whether corporal punish
ment in the public schools was not inn
proper, prompted by an unmlstakable ap-
peal of the public against it, and that no
citizen has any other than a qualified
right to the tuition of his children in the
public schools, the qualification being
that his children must conform them
selves to the discipline of the schools.

Democrats esrtai a TO DO Elected.


From the N. Y. Herald, .gy,.,.- i...s
Inasmuch as the democratic State tick
ct is almost certain to be elected we trust
careful and good nominations will be
made, The prospect was last evening
that Mr. Olcott will be renominated; that
Mr.. Allen G. Beach will be placed at the
head Of the ticket, and that the canal
Ring will get solid slice of cold shoul-
der. But after all, we imagine that the
excitement Of the struggle in the Con-
vention has not yet caused the leaders to
forget that this squabble at Albany is of +.
minor Importance. The small interest
manifested by the republicans at Roches-
ter about their State ticket shows that
they preceive clearly that the vital point
of this falPs canvass is the Legislature,
Even If the democrats adopt good plat
form and nominate an unexceptional
Stale ticket the utmost caution in llegis-
lative nominations and the greatest har-
mony will be needed to enable them. to
carry majority in the next Senate and
this is Of the last Importance to them.
or course they will try to do this. IL
is necessary in order to obtain fair and
honest apportionment of this State, which
the republicans have not only refused in
the Legislature, but which with cynical
audacity they have declared in the Roch-
ester platform their intention to continue
to refuse. "With the Executive belong
ing to one party 1t Is important to an I'M
partial adjustment that the legislation
should be in the hands of the other, Says
the Rochester platform; and it is on this
declaration that the main and real issue
! OF the canvass this fail turns. The demo-
Gratis demand fair apportionment; the
republicans refuse il openly. 1t would be
child's play for the democrats to sacrifice
any chance they may have to carry the
Legislature, by quarrelling over the State
ticket. The result of this falls election
will not openly settle the question of a
just apportionment; it will almost decide
the next United States Senatorship, and
we have already pointed out the fact that
while the republicans are undoubtedly
at logger-heads among themselves all the
leaders are equally interested, as candi-
dates for the United States Senate in
carrying the Legislature this fall. Whe-
ther the democrats can carry the Legs
lature is at least uncertain. The contest
will be vigorous, because both parties
have great interests at stake. 1t will be
the liveliest kind of an "otf year" in poll
| tics.

AMERICAN MATCHMAKING.

Matchmaking is becoming al i'm
poltant branch of manufactures in
this country. 1t was begun III 1850,
and has now attained such perfection
that watches are made both for for
eign and domestic use. Last gear we
sent 30, 600 watches to Englaod, and
there are special agencies tor their
sale in Berlin, w,and ST. Peters
burg, The American watch is appre-
ciated throughout the Continent, aud
it is taking precedence of all aiher5 in
South America. Of the superiorty Of
the American wacth, M. Favre Perret,
the Swiss commissioner to the Center
NAL Exhibition, gives a striking veri-
ficalion. He bought tifth-rate one,
and wore it across The ocean. He was
surprised to find that it's daily varia-
ton was only one and half seconds.
This impressed him so strongly that
he delivered it to Swiss maker to
take to pieces and examine. AfIer
the lapse of u few days he came to
him and said word for word, 81 am
completely overwh 3ln I'd; the result is
incredible, one would nos tind one
