though auke In most OF their functions, in
their public character, and in affording upon
like terms the means for obtaining common
school education to all resident scholars of. the
requisite age, is not in violation of the consti-
tutional provision now under consideration.
Irrespective. however, of these considera-
tions, it is certain that the imposition of
duty is not Limitation of power. The direc-
of public schools neither prohibits nor
restraints the Legislature from providing
other public schools in addition to those
included in the general system, or
from creating, as it has in several
instances, by way of exception to the general
particular and exceptional cases. The right to
create and establish different classes and grades
of public schools and school districts necessar-
lily involves the right to prescribe for each
separate and distinct regulations specially adj
apted thereto and not applicable to the others.
For these reasons the enactment in question is
not invalid because its provisions are confined
in their operation to the ordinary common
school districts of the State. It is insisted by
appellant that the enforcement of the statute
will practically result in limiting the sales of
other books of like character, such as have here
tofore been in use in the public schools,
thereby depreciating their market value to
plaintiff injury, as one of the interested own
ers of such books and that it will deprive the
patrons of the schools of the benefits of an
open and competitive market in which to make
their purchases, and thus directly impose upon
them an additional burden necessary con-
dition to the enjoyment of any of the advan-
tages of these institutions. All this may be
80, and still the statute is not, therefore, in
valid, because it invades no legal rights of
plaintiff, and violates no provision either of
! the State or federal constitution. As already
stated, the course of instruction to be pursued
in these schools is entirely under legislative
control aava as ro4fr; cted nv the ,,rnvioiop. NJ

Henderson Fire--4n Old Landmarks DE-
strOUed.
Especial Correspondence of the Globe.
HENDERSON, May 14.-About 2 O'Clock
this morning, fire was discovered issuing
from the butcher shop of Geo. Meyer,
which soon communicated to the adjoining
wooden building, which was totally con-
sumed. The further spread of the fire was
prevented by the citizens, who tore down
the third building and dragged it from the
fire, thus preventing it from sweeping the
whole street. The loss is as follows: Geo.
Meyer, shop, tools and meats, $500; in
surance, $3.50. Louis Schmall, building,
$500. This building was one-third log,
which part was the first building erected in
Henderson, being built by Peter Jarvis in
1852. The building torn down was owned
by John Shutanborgar, who loses $500. The
fire was, undoubtedly, the work of an incen-
diary. Andrew erode also loses $3.50 by re-
moval of goods. Two things that this city
needs, are fire engine and fire limit.

THE SEWER MUDDLE.

The Tenth, Rice and Rondo Streets Sewer
Contract Finally Disposed Of---The
Award to Patrick Nash Approved by the
Council.
The council held special meeting yester-
day afternoon, to consider the contract for
the construction of the Tenth, Rice and
Rondo streets sewer. A communication was
received from the board of public works,
setting forth that the contract with James
Starkey for such work having been disap-
proved, the board have reconsidered their
action by which they made such award, and
after due consideration of all the bids re-
celved, have awarded the contract for said
sewer to Patrick Nash, he being the lowest
reliable and responsible bidder.
Aid. Smyth moved that the award be ap-
proved.
Aid. Mccarthy raised the question as to
whether the council could, after refusing to
confirm the award of the board of public
works, award the contract to other parties
without a Reimbursement.
Aid. Griggs took the position that there
was no contract until the council had an
proved the same, and that falling to approve
any award submitted to them, it was conlpe-
tent Tor the board to pass upon other bids.
ana Tor the council to reject or approve in
this case.
AID. Allen took the same position, and ex-
planned that the course proposed to be pur
sued was that practiced by the government
and other contracting parties.
The award was approved by unanimous
vote, and the proper officers instructed to
draw mn the DrOner contract
The bid of Mr.. Nash was $2s,36O against
$28,126.92 by Starkey. He presented as
sureties Norman w. Kittson and John S.

referred to the board of public works, calling
upon the contractor for the St. Peter street
