For good sound, practical ideas upon the
currency question We refer our readers to those
announced by Senator Butler elsewhere 10 to
days Gazette. The great cause OF the scarcity
of money is not that the vaults Of the banks
are empty, or that the rates Of interest are
too high, for neither of these conditions exists,
but that the security required is deficient either
10 quantity or quality. lfnstead Of The forty
five thousand dollars 10 legal tender notes
10 the two national banks 10 this city, as
forty Eve millions, money. outside of those
BANKS, would be no moro plentiful 10 the com.
mupity than at present. for. owning to the de-
prcciaed condition Of real estate and
the existence of laws which virtually
prohibit the collection of debts by the forced
sale of such property. the banks will not lend
on that class of securities, and those who would
borrow have 90 Other 10 offer. 1t is credit aud
soooer it pushes its economy to the last point,
learns to deal at home, and utterly aboishes
the very idea of reputation, the sooner will
that credit be regaioed. Repeating the re-
sumption act aud remonetiziug silver will
not restore it, nor will they help those who
stand most ia need Of money, the la5orng men.
for when man works hard for dollar a day be
wants that dollar good one one that will buy as
much meat aud bread as it is possible for a
dollar to buy, and not deprecated one, as the
silver dollar would be, for though paper
dollar is now worth ISL cents, one made of
silver would only BIO worth S94 cents.

about two days to show you and then just

come from all over the United States to see
them. The President and Cabinet will be
here. The Secretary of the Navy, and the
most distinguished men are on the visiting
board
The graduating exercises consist in big
drill in seamanship, infantry, dress parades
artillery, sailing in cutters great gun practice
at target, fencing and boxing. The Score

After they are over, the diplomas are given to
the graduating class. Then we would go and
see the dress parades aud drills, which would
occupy the rest of the day. The next day,
would get the steam launch and take yon all
around. The steam-launch is a boat with
ste i'm nd eha of ha nf
about 10 miles an hour. There is a man who
attends her, and all we would have to do is to
tell him where to take us. We would go see
the monitor in the bay, which has 15-nch
guns on her, of about four tons weight, which
are wonders in themselves and then over to
see all kinds of wariaring implements. Every
kind of naval guns and Shells torpedo boats,
torpedoes, gatling guns that shoot 60 shots a
minute, and everything imaginable. From
there. we would go on board the ship of war
"Santee," and examine her ports, arma-
melt, hold,great guns, Dalgren, Parrot guns,
and her swivel pivot guns. From there we 60
to the Ordnance Building where you see all
kinds Of guns used on land, or in other words,
every kind of military war implements. In
this building are great many curiosities-the
flags that were captured ON Lake Erie in 1872
the guns that were captured on Lake Cham
plain in the same war, and the guns captured
from Mexico in our war with that country in
1S47. Then we would proceed to the Steam
ship Building there to see a complete model
of ship of war; 1t is that one that was at
the Centennial. Probably you saw it there.
Besides this you see all kinds of knots i'm
agiuable. Now, there arc lots of things that

The above shows seating capacity of 46
above the present daily average while last
month it was about equal, and had been since
the beginning of the school year last Septem-
Der.
In examining the yearly register of each
teacher, it was found that at this time of the
year the number is much less than at any 9TH
er, as it always decreases from May to the end
of June, and the present year is not an excep-
ton.
The Coryell Street School, house, is an
old affair, scarcely fit for use, and is only
obtainea by paying rent of - per year
In this school are two teachers, with a good
average attendance, and the school could do
much better if placed in a more suitable
house. These two teachers, with the average
attendance and the surplus attendance, have
more than can well be cared for, and more
than the average taught by teachers. This
fact affords sufficient claim for the city
authorities to procure for the better accom-
mediation school room enough for at least two
additional teachers and with this, it must
not be overlooked that with the praper ac-
COMMUNICATIONS, as uefeloiOIe, luty Will uIdW
an increase of as many as are kept away on
account of the already over-crowded apart
ments.
The school authorities have the matter I'M
der consideration. and will be compelled to do
justice to the requirements of the law in pro-
viding ample school facilities or lose their ap-
propriations as the school laws are very ex-
plicit in this matter.
Whether the Trustees will build a new
school house on their lot, on South Main ST.,
this Summer, is question to be shortly set
tied. They have only asked for $1,000 for
this purpose and it will require at least So 900.
There are about 1400 children in the city, be-
tween the ages of and 1S years, and about
80 from the surrounding neghborhood whose
appropriations are paid for their benefit
The question is, what shall be done for our
schools ?
The condition of our schools and the disci-
pline was found to be commendable.

FREEHoLDERs' MEETING.-The old Board
of Freeholders held it's last meeting on Tues
day last and cosed-the business of the year.
AS the Clerks report of its affairs will soon be
given in the financial statement, we will not
occupy space with its production now. We
may say, however, that the County debt was
ascertained to be over 10000, an increase of
over sci 900 from last year. This increase is
owing to the destruction caused by the last
summers freshets, the July riots, and the
tramp nuisance. Perhaps we might safely in
clude, also, the erection of costly bridges in
places where the old ones were as safe and
sound as their successors now are.
The new Board met on Wednesday morn
ing. Order was called by John G. Reeves,
Clerk of the old Board, who proceeded to call
the roll. AS the name of George Bruner, of
Bethlehem, was called, a protest against his
taking upon himself the duties of Freebooter
was presented by John Ii. Num-, Esq The
roll call then proceeded without interruption,
and at its conclusion Reuben Person, of
Franklin, was chosen Director pro- tenn. The
Board then adjourned to o'clock
Upon re-assembling, Samuel b. Piekel, of
Alexandria, was elected permanent Director
without opposition. Upon taking the chair
Mr.. Piekel thanked the Board for the distinct
ion shown him. On motion, Jos. II. Boozer
the old Director, was chosen to assist the new
Director during the afternoon. ~ohn G.
Reeves was reelected Clork, who also return
ed thanks for the honor. The prescribed oath
was then administered to him, and the Board
proceeded to business.
The pay of the County Collector was fixed
at $500, and Joseph Smith, the old Collector,
reelected.
For County Attorney, A. Z. Sanderson,
was reelected without opposition.
The County tax was then voted upon, the
appropriations hereunder given being made
