Our New York Letter.


Editor CHRoNrcLE
News has doubtless reached you
regarding Tweed's revolutions, q
synopsis Of which was published
here early this week. This con-
session had been long promised,
aud when it came there was gen
eral ducking of heads all over the
':ity and state something similar
to that which took place in the old
Scotch kirk whose pastor one
.nOrning broke into his discourse
with the sudden announcement
that he was about to throw his
prayer book at an unfaitaful hus-
band whom he saw in his audience.
The particulars are not known yet,
the document remaining in the
hands of the Attorney General,
pending his consideration of the
proposition that accompanied it.
namely, that Tweed is to be set
free, and to be insured against
further prosecution, on condition
that he produces his proofs If the
allegations of his so-called con-
iesslon. If this is rejected by the
government the old Spartan
threatens to relapse into his clam
like silence. Enough has already
leaked out however to furnish ma
terial for numberless suits and in.
designations, the latter being loud
y courted by those whose names
are found in the statement pub
iished. Queer thing, that! Tweed
is known to have stolen millions
and. to have distributed his booty
widely and freely; and yet You
may scrape the State Of New York
with a tine tooth comb without
finding h man who ever took one
# his ill-gotten dollars. Here for
instance, judge on the bench. the
eiitor of prominent New York
journal, and a reform" leader III
The Albany Legislature whom
Tweed claims as accomplices. and
now the torrent Of their virtuous
Indignation is a sight both grand
and beautiful to behold.
A new enemy to man, in this
longitude at least, a deadly one, is
being developed in the shape OF
the ordinary cat, ut whose door
must be laid number If recent
deaths. and for whose suppression
stringent measures are now pro-
posed. Nurse than
I'll, the New York cat, in addition
to all his other vices, is becoming
addicted to hydrophobia of an
aggravated character. RAINY

The Public Schools.
Shreveport Times. ]

Without waiting for the decision
of the 4 to commission, the State
board of education has entered
upon the discharge of its duties,
and will proceed to put the pablo
schools ON their proper footing
Tue board held its first meeting III
New Orleans few DAYS since. It
is composed of the governor, lien
tenant governor, secretary of State,
attorney general and superintepd-
ent Of public education, er cficm
members, and of Messrs. L. b. s,
Pincbback and Archibald Mitchell,
appointed by the governor. The
board Of public schools of the
city was reorqanizeJ, and Mr.. w
o. Rogers. who, for go many years
acted as city superintendent with
so much ability, was reinstated il
his former position in place Of the
negro BootIby. Local boards for
the parishes, to consist of not less
than Ave nor more than nine mem
bers in each parish. will soon be
announced.
One good resolution passed by
the board provides for selection
of school books at the lowest ca h
price aud that, when selected,
they shall not be changed for four
years. One of ibe greatest obsta
cles to the progress of the educa-
ton Of youth is the change of text
books with every change Of teach
ers. Of late years the press has
teemed with new text books b,
the thousand, each claiming to be
superior to its predecessor. Half
OF these are the offspring of the
merest quackery, and those teach
ers who take up with them are as
truly quacks rs the. authors them
selves. Each one Processes to

of "short methods" "helps to

youthful mind along those green
fields" OF which Milton speaks,
instead of over the PERCEPTIONS
cliffs that SO bewildered our less
fortunate ancestors. The best
proof that these new tangled no
tons do not lead to an increase Of
knowledge, is thai the scholars OF
to-day are inferior to those Of fift,
years ago, when they were com
paratively unknown. Moreover
these constant changes are a heavy
drag on the poor, who find it no
inconsiderable item to purchase
the load ct books which we zee Oh

The selection of teachers for the
next session will be all important
work for the different boards to
perform. The whole force OF
teachers will have to be overhauled.

that he or she will he dismissed
