WASHINGTON NEWS,
THE POTTER INTERROGATION RES.
OLUTION.
Incidents of the Day in the House of
Representatives..
WHAT SECRETARY SHERMAN THINKS
ABOUT 1T.
The Democrats Determined TO Admit Of
No Amendment.

WASHINGTON, May l6. The National Repub-
lican to-day publishes a long interview with Sec
rotary Sherman relative to the pending Potter in
vestigation. In reply to the question a. to what
he thought was the real purpose of the resolution
the Secretary said it looked very much as if the
democrats were engaged in the work of prepsr-
ing ammunition for the fall campaign. He said
he did uot think the resolution aimed At oustuR
Hayes, whose seat was secured.
As far Is lie is personally concered, he defed
the democrats to do their worst, his visit to the
South WAS solely IN the interest of honest cleo
ton.
10 the House to-day, the Speaker submitted the
requests of three members for leave of absence,
but Hooker objected unless coupled with the con-
dition that their absence was not 10 operate
against obtaining quorum.
The Speaker stated that that amounted to an
objection.
The suggestion which Stephens desired to make
was that the demand for the previous question
should be voted down, and that all amendments
proposing to carry out the proposed investigation
IN Its fullest extent, should be admitted.
1t Will be observed that on the last vote the
democrats numbered l4l, and Morse Of Mass,
voted on the other side. They have l42 members
present, hin i've of q quorum.
The select democratic caucus advisory commit
tee met Immediately after adjournment, to take
into consideration the present condition of the
Potter resolution. Several prominent democratic
members were invited to be present. The CO IN
mittee decided the democrats should adhere to
their determination to admit no amendment to
the resolution, and to persevere in the present
course until the resolution shall be adopted; and
further that no public business shall be transact
ed meanwhile.

THE RUSSIAN VOLUNTEER FLEET.
The Porte will not Allow any More Ad.
ditions to the Fleet at Ismaid.
What the Correspondents Think OF
valOf's Visit.

NEW YORK, May l6. A st. Petersburg des-
patch saws there is some uneasiness on account of
lack of Information relative to the result of the
interview between the Gar and Schouvalof.
LONDON. May l6. A despatch from Berlin
says disQuieting accounts are received here from
st. Petersburg. The prospect is again threaten
ing. 1t seems that the Punslavist party are once
more gaining the ascendaGcy.
A ST. Petersburg despatch says the Russian pa
pcrs are full of news about the volunteer fleet.
Subscriptions for fitting it out are coming in from
all parts of the country. The sums raised seem
very small, but there doubtless amounts con-
tributed from the same sources for the relief of
the sick and wounded.
ST. PETERSBURG. May Is. Complete secrecy
is maintained n regard to Schouvalof's reports to
the emperor and conferences at the office.
Strict silence upon the subject also appears to
have been imposed upon the semi-offcial organs,
ia order that prev ous to Schouvaloff's return to
tween the Russian ana foreign press to disturb or
lnjuriously affect the evident conciliatory inten-
tons apparent in the intercourse between England
and Russia.
Petersburg At the end Of the week and return to
London. after making short stay in Berlin
BUCHAREST, May l6. Prince Charles, who has
been visiting the army Of the north. has gone to
Turnzverin.
The movements of the Russian troops and pro
vision trains towards the Danube continue.
BELGRADE. May Is. The Servian corps Of OBJ
servatlon hitherto consisting of fifteen thousand
men has been increased to thirty five thousand.
This was caused by the fear Of Turkish attack.
The Turks have been conce MT ating under Ha-
fz Pssha on the Servian liue of demarcstion.
LONDON, May Is. The Standard says that the
porte will allow further addition to the British
fleet at lsmaid. An exchange of ships will be
permitted, however.
LONDON, May II. The impressions received
from Count Schouvalof's visit to st. Petersburg
are conflicting. Two such well informed cores
pondcnts as the Times VIENNA aud ST. Peters
hurg are entirely disagreed, the first saying the
prevalent opinion seems to be that the commun-
cations impaired by Schouvsof scarcely afford a
sufficient basis for carrying negotiaho likely
TO lead to any practical result, and the st. Peters
burg correspondent saying tn st the solution sug-
gested by the British cabinet has been found such
AS by no means to preclude the possibility of an
amcable arrangement ard that for the mt the
wind is blowing decidedly in favor of peace.

Austria.
Not much Importance is attached to the action
of the budget committee of the Austrian reichs
rath in accepting a resolution postpoping the dis
cussons about the 1000, 900 horins credit until
communication regarding the actual employment
of the money is made to the delegations. The
reichsrath will probably support the government
by handsome majority notwithstanding the &C
ton of the committee.

request for the dropping eff the name of Mrs. ILL
ton from the rolls OF Plymouth church. signed by
one of the Oldest members. has been placed in the
hands of the examining committee, and action
must be taken. Some membe RS of the committee
however, counsel delay for few months, and are
said to express the belief that within the next
three months Mrs. Tilton's resumption OF her
marital relations with Theodore Tilton, will be
made manifest, and that the infant will be the
pledge Of restored love between the two.
The Sun adds that the examining committee
will probably wait until fall before they take up
the subject of dropping Mrs. Tilton from the rolls
Of the church.

now confined to his room, and is quite feeble, and

still shows much physical nerve and intellectual
activity, bat is mere shadow of his former self.
At times, he exhibits mental ALTERATION and evil
IDENTITY he cannot continue much longer a So

We hear it limited that one Of the probable re
suits of the picayune policy towards the schools
in the village district will be the resignation of
w. r. Smith, Esq. chairman Of the board of D-
rectors. This would be a result more to be de-
plored than the cutting down ofthe appropriations
s~iew hundred dollars, and one that the short
sighted money-grabbers undoubtedly ia iled to
foresee. Mr. Smiths retirency would certa inly
he an almost irreparabe loss to the board
and the district His thorough and intelligent
understanding of the wants Of the schools, his
financial knowledge, his personal interest anxiety
and care for the schools, and above all the love
and esteem Of the children who sit at the school
house desks, combine to give him the qualities of
a model guardian of the interests of our schools.
The schools of Augusta never had more devot
ed friend than " iam r. Smith, and we trust be
may reverse what we must consider a hastily
formed decision, and remain upon the board of
which he is so useful member.

NAL schools have gone out of the State. to take
positions as teachers in other States.
The amount of common school income from all
sources, 10 1877, was 81 .02O,3l7 In amount of
money expended for common schools, in proper
ton to population, Name stands as the eighteenth
among the States of the Union; in proportion to
pupils, Maine stands sixteenth in proportion to
valuation on taxable property, Maine stands as the
eleventh.
The Superintendent has visited and inspected
many of the high schools during the year, and
finds that they are making progress. Before the
passage Of the free high school law, in 1873 81
towns and cities in the State maintained high
schools. During 1877, Isl towns and cities main
tanned such schools one or more terms. Mere
than IL 900 scholars received instruction in them,
and their effect upon the common schools has been
very beneficial, improving the quality Of the work.
SO their Influence has been felt for good. As the
free high school is the school Of the whole people,
it invites the rich and poor alike to come enjoy its
priv eges. and fills place that could never be
occupied by the academy. They have also aided
the common schools by furnishing better teachers,
and have been of very great advantage in stimu-
latlDR lnuVlludl pupHs. L ne superintendent mas
an able defence of these schools refuting the idea
OF some narrow m nded souls that there should be
no advanced education at the public expense that
the municipalities should give only the most ele-
mentary education.
The normal schools have been fairly successful
during the year. As these schools ould be made
an essential part of our educational system, the
standard of admission should be raised, and the
work should be more largely professional, and
less academic. Another normal school, which is
to be established in Gorhsm, is needed in the edu-
cationsl work of the State. The Superintendent
has able articles on Trained Teachers, ""Exam-
inatiou Of Teachers, Text Books, "School In
spection," "Small Districts" and Teachers H.
stitutes" and closes the text of his valuable and
most suggestive report-one of the very best ever
issued from the department,-with the following
recapitulaon Of the pressing needs of the schools
Of the States
More trained teachers.
An additional normal school
Normal teachers institutes.
Examination of teachers by county board.
