THE squabble between the Irish and
Germans OF st. Louis over the teaching
OF German in the public schools Is wax>
ing warm. and the members Of the school
board are in peck OF trouble to know
how to satisfy both sides. The Irish de.
clare that II German is taught 10 the
schools the Celtic must also be taught.
This, the board declares impractlcable
and lmpossible,anda proposition to stop
teaching German Is under discussion.
This proposition has created great ex>
element among the Germans, and they
declare political death 10 MI who advo-
cate the abolition OF German In the
srhoslS. The contest is 4 bitter one, and
The end cannot be foretold.

WASHINGTON, ID. e., March 81, 1885,
Anderson. of New Orleans, was fortunate
in having the best lawyers OF Louisiana
to defend him, and they soam to have
labored as xealously as il they had be-
lieved IN the
INNOCENCE OF THEIR CLIENT.
They have secured his release upon tech.
nicai grounds. The state has five days
In which to demand rehearing. but it Is
hardly likely that anything more will be
done. Anderson, at his worst, was only
a feeble imitator of Wells, the head Of
tue returning board, and the conviction
Of Wells is yet possible. There has been
the greatest robbery in all history, and
It would be gratifying to have some one
OF the thieves convicted and punished.
They are known, They have not repent
ed. They still have the stolen articles.
The senate is now engaged in a. dis
cussiOn OF terms OF settlement with
PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Messrs. Matthews, Christiancy and
Thurman have already spoken, and the
subject will probably call out all the
eminent lawyers of the senate.
Years ago money was appropriated to
pay
MAIL CONTRACTORS
for services performed in the south in
the years 1860 and 1861. One way and
another payment had been prevented.

duced In the house To secure an early

ate or other government But the fact |
that few OF these contractors had been |
80 paid was discovered lnsllo house, and |
was made not only an excuse for defeat,
ny the bill, but ground of attack
lpon the whole south. Nothing could
be more unjust to a majority OF the
claimants; nothing more absurd and
wicked than to stir up sectional feeling,
No one believes that one 10 ten of the
contractors has been paid.

witnesses in their own cases. The case
on at the time was one in which an ins
telligent German was to be tried for
manslaughter. The killing was not
denied, the accused simply claiming that
1t was the result OF an accident. Witness
ses were examined, the accused testified
In his own behalf, and the jury, without
leaving their seats,
ACQUITTED HIM.
He has been once tried and had been in
jail for year, on Indictment by grand
jury. There was no day Of that year on
which, If his own statement could have
been heard at his former trial, he would
not have been q free man. The new
law, therefore, has an excellent start in
this district. Mr.. Fry, OF the house, was
the principal supporter Of the bill. IL
remember rightly Judge Appleton, OF
Maine, was one of the earliest as also GER
talnly one OF the sblest advocates in
the country, Of this humane and sensible
practice.
All these years that McGarrahan has
been at the doors of the white house,
the departments, the courts, and cons
gress, he has been writing letters. His
opponent, the New India Mining com.
psny, has purchased these letters, 700 in
number, and Is using them before cons
gressional committee having the great
contest in charge. 1t is fair to say OF
McGarrahan's letters that, though they
mention numberless attempts to
CONTROL COURTS
and federal officers by indirectiOn, they
nowhere admit OF any question as to the
justice and strength OF the title by which
he claimed the valuable mines in dispute.
Indeed. through all of them he seems to
feel himself poor man whom rich and
powerful enemy Is endeavoring to crush.
This may yet be strong point in the
mans favor. Writing 700 letters to his
most confidential friend, his partner, who,
if anyone knew that their claim was
fraudulent, would know 1t, it is hardly
possible that a scoundrel should not In
some way use expressions or state facts
showing such fraud. Meantime similar
exposures Of corruption on the part Of
the New India company are promised by
McGarrahan. This scandal, if it touches
all spoken of now as likely to be reached,
will create more OF q sensation than Cakes
Ames and his Credit Mobelier did.

SENATOR Hows Of Wisconsin gave nos
tice in the senate on wednesday that on
Monday next be would explain why ne
cannot support MIR. Hayes administer
ton. "This," says Washington cor.
respondent, lis looked upon as the ad-
vance gun OF the beginning of the OUT
break in open senate against the presi'
dent, and at the same time an attempt to
ret the southern Democrats into the Sec
tional debate, on which party lines can
be closely drawn. The notice served by
Howe, now that Anderson is released,
looks as If he and his class Of Republi>
cans intended whipping the president
into line or forever cutting loose from
him. Howe undoubtedly knows of the
character of the talk at the Tuesdays
cabinet meeting on this point. The
result of that talk Is made known by the
remarks of cabinet officer. He
said that there was no reason, now that
the Anderson case had been settled, for
political agitation, and that the Republi'
can party in congress, and the admins
tration ought to unite. When asked on
what platform, he read from slip Of
paper the following: First, a provision
Tor maintaining the volume OF green
backs at $500, 0OO, 900; second, opposition
to all schemes for indefinite imitation Of
the currency by abolishing national
banks and issuing greenbacks without
limit; third, appointment OF Republicans
to Office; fourth, hostility to southern
claims; fifth, opposition to a reduction Of
the tariff and protection to American
commerce..

FIGHTING THEFEyER.

When the deadly malarial fever of two
years ago attacked limited area about
F.lps Point, the health authorities show
ed great vigor in fighting its spread, and
they met with great success. Nearly
every case of that fever, which was con-
tracted on the spot, died of it. 1t was
therefore wisely decided to deport the
eHnre population of the infected dis
trict. This was carried out. They were
moved down to the Marine Hospital and
placed in cleanly and well-kept camps,
aud kept there until frost. The effect
was wonderful. No new cases appeared
in the camp, and of those who were sick
when they were carried off few recoy.
cred. Meantime the clothing and bed.
ding of the infected district were all
burned, and the houses fumigated. Thus
was the disease stamped out. We believe
that, should yellow fever obtain foot
hold in this city, its spread could be pre-,
| vented by vigorous and radi cal treatm enl
of this kind. We have in cur favor &
| healthy climate, pure water and as
general rule clean streets. But in tn,
| Southern cities which are now affectec
with the yellow fever in sucn malignan
form these advantages do not exist. tn,
utmost efforts of the Health Department
often fail to make any headway agains

poison seems to be everywhere, in tn
earth, the air and the water. Still 1t at

THREE years ago we labored delgent'
ly to secure the election of a Mayor for
Wilmington. We honestly believed that
centennial year should find us with
superior city chief officer. Our success
was surprising as the city was then said
to be largely Republican. We have never
been repaid the actual cost of the neces-
sary printing on that occasion, and the
account may possible run out of date be-
fore it is paid. The Mayors office is OF
no consequence at all to the newspapers,
and we are therefore surprised to find the
Republican laborjng so hard at the oar in
the vain hope to elect Mr.. Gallagher. Can
the editor be looking for the position OF
Chit of Police? 1t is in his line, and
might not prevent his filing his present
duties?
The daily gazette., 1878-08-19

THAT clean "walk over'' of John p.
Almond into the May or's office has not
come OIL yet, nor will it take place until
the second of STANDARDIZATION.
Why that is just what the Democratic
papers were saying, and we are glad to
observe that the Republican comedies as
much. 1t is certainly foolish to "kick
against the pricks." The election proved
that there were only about 2600 Republi-
