Commercial says that the President sent
at once for the Secretary Of War and had
a consultation over the matter. Both
were very anxious to Oblige Governor
Williams, and especially so because he
mas always made such violent opposition
to infringement by the Federal Govern.
ment on the sovereign rights Of States,
and was elected on a platform which dc.
clAred tha. interference Of tho Federal
military with purely State affairs was
tyrannical and usurpation.
The Constitution authorizes the Presi.
dent 10 send troops into State only when
the Legislature calls for themio or by the
Governor in an emergency when the
Legislature eau not be convened, and the
eonstabulary or militia force Of the State
has been shown to be unable 10 maintain
peace. In every instance when troops
have been sent into the South these con-
ditions have been complied with, and the
President has been criticised by Cover.
nor Williams aud his party for answer
ing the Constitutional demand.
The question that came to the Presi.
dents mind was, II it was a violation OF
the constitutional rights OF a State to
send troops in answer 10 a formal and
legal demand, how much more It would
be to send them in answer to Governor
Williams informal demand?
Secretary McCrary sent the following

FARRAauT HOUSE, |
RYE BEACH, N. Y, August 7. J
The declaration OF Special Treasury
Agent Moore, that l attempted 10 black.
mail him, does not contain a single ele.
ment Of truth. l never sought at any
time 10 communicate with him, either
directly or indirectly for any purpose
whatever. The statement that l publish.
ed certain papers after failure to get mon.
ey from him as the price Of their sup
preston Is false. Since the papers in my
possession, relating to him, have never
yet been published anywhere. No papers
affecting him from official 6les OF the
Treasury were ever put in my hand by
Mr.. Sturtevant or any one else. Mr..
Moore was not removed on account Of
the exhibition Of such papers. His re.
moval followed from the discovery OF 4
series Of original documents, likely in
MOore's handwriting, showing beyond
doubt that at the time Sccre-
tary Schurz and Charles Sumner
were attempting to investigate the San
Domingo matter through the Committee
Of the Senate, Moore had been Assessor
Of Internal Revenue in Texas and entered
into u conspiracy with General Bah.
cock and Colonel Sweeney, and Nettle.

tion. To accomplish this it was necessary
to get one oithe witnesses against b bCocE,
living In Rhode Island, ont Of
the way. Moore manufactured an
affidavit charging this witness, who had
been Union soldier in Texas, with mur.
der. On this he procured a requistion
IRON the Governor Of Rhode Island Tor
this witness; Moore came with those pa.
pcrs to Washington; Babcock, who was
then ut the White House, gave him let.
ter to Whitney, requesting aid Of the
latter; Whitney sent Netlleship 10 try and
kidnap witness and take him at night by
the Fall river boat to New York, thence
10 Washington, where it was thought the
courts could be induced not to grant a
writ OF hdbeas corpus. A plot which was
more infamous, il possible, than the safe
burglary in which the same parties
figured, failed, but all the papers remain
aud mainly on these Moore was removed.

Gcrmnn In the Public Schools.

Editors lntCll!GtnSer:
In order to make German instruction
in our public schools the desired success
perhaps the following might bo n proper
course OF said optional study:
English speaking and German speak.
ing scholars ought not to be taught Ger
man in common any longer, but eparate,
ly. The former ought 10 be taught it in
the English and the latter in the German
Language. Only such English speaking
scholars who belong to the Grammar
School and Division A, Grade /, in onr
public schools, ought to be admitted to
To the German lessons henceforth.
They ought, in common. to DO in.
structed in German reading, writing,
translating and grammar. Their Ger.
man textbooks ought to be only
Aims German grammar, practical and
theoretical part, and Wernli and Hill.
manteps German penmanship, which
books are in use now in our public
schools. Those scholars who want TO
provide themselves with an English.
German and German. English dictionary,
for home study, may do so. To English
speaking scholars OF the lower classes Of
our public schools the study OF German
is tiresome work, and II they leave
school altogether, before having gone
through Division A and the Grammar
school, hardly real benefit.
OF the German speaking pupils those
belonging to the Grammar school, Divi.
sion a, Division b and Division G, Grade
l, Of our public schools, ought to be ad-
mitted to the German lessons, as hereto.
fore. They ought to be instructed in
German reading, writing and grammar.
Their German textbooks ought to be the
three German readers and tho above
mentioned Penmanship, in use now, and
u German grammar written in German,
for instance Wurst's translating exercises
are not necessary 10 them. Studying
the English branches OF instr uction they
learn to speak English; bat German they
speak as their mother tongue. The time
devoted to the German instruction Of the
class OF the English speaking scholars
and OF each class OF the German, speak
ing scholars ought TO be on an average
(as heretotore), thirty minutes daily. In
the lower classes, circumstances permit.
ting and il it can be done without en-
croachmeut upon the English lessons, the
German lessons may be extended to three
quarters OF an hour daily.
Where sufficient facilities exist in the
school houses OF the different wards,
German may be taught in separate reci.
tation rooms; where such facilities do not
exist, it may, as heretofore, be taught in
the regular class rooms. Where q Ger.
man class consists OF scholars from differ
Cnt class rooms, as in case OF the English
speaking scholars studying German, the
German instruction can, Of course, not be
given in separate recitation room.
