DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
In former messages, impressed with the
importance of the subject, l have taken
occasion TO commend to Congress the
adoption of a generous policy toward the
District of Columbia The report of the
Commissioners Of the District, herewith
transmitted, contains suggestions and
recommendations, to all of which ear
nestly invite your careful attention.
ask your early and favorable considers
ton of the views which they express as to
the urgent need of legislation for the re,
elimination of the marshes of the Potomac
and its eastern branch, within the limits
of the city, and for the repair Of the streets
of the capital, heretofore laid with wooden
blocks, and now by decay rendered al
most impossible, and a source of immi
nent danger to the health of its citizens
The means at the disposal of the Commits
siOners are wholly inadequate tor the &C
complishment OF these important works
and should be supplemented by timely
appropriations from the Federal Treasury
The filling of the fats in front of the
city will add to the adjacent lands and
parks, not owned by the United States, q
large and valuable domain, sufficient it is
thought to reimburse its entire cost
and will also, as an incidental result, Sc
cure the permanent improvement of the
river for the purpose of navigation.
The Constitution having invested Con
gress with supreme and exclusive juris
diction over the District of Columbia, its
citizens must of necessity look to Congress,
alone for all needful legislation affecting
their interests; and as the territory of this
district is the common property of tht
| people of the United States, who, equally
with It's resident citizens, are Interested il
the prosperity of their capital, | cannot
doubt that you will be amply sustained
by the general voice of the country in any
measure you may adopt for this purpose
l also-inyite the favorable consideration
of Congress to the wants of the public
schools of this district, as exhibited in th'
report of the commissioners. While the
number of pupils is rapidly increasing NJ
adequate provision exists for correspOn
ding increase for school accommodation
and the commissioners are without the
means to meet this urgent need. A mum
Der of the buildings now used for schOo
purposes are rented, and are, in impor
tant particulars, unsuited for the purpose
The cause for popular education in tht
District of Columbia is surely entitled Il
the same consideration at the hands Of
the National Government as in the severa
States and Territories, to which suficien
grants of the public lands have been made
for the endowment of schools and univer
sites. RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.

Forls, Howard & Hubert, New York.
The scene, largely laid in the Western Re-
serve of Ohio, does not circumscribe the action
OF the interest Of this fresh and delightful 70
nance Of real life. It is a representative Amer
ican Novel, because il follows the fortunes of a
barefoOted orphan boy through the exciting
scenes of the past thirty years-his bOyhoOd,
youth, love, successes in law, in the war, in
Congress. and through the peculiar trials and
temptations of a political career.
Whoever has read Judge Tourgee's former

he is vivid, graphic, powerful and skilful de-
rneatOr Of dramatic events. Figs and This
ties" will please the East by its inherent novel;
ty, brilliancy. and interest and it will come
home to the West as worthy exponent of the
wonderful possibilities which that favored re-
giOn offers To its best and manifest elements.
Crowded with incident, populOus with strong
characters, simple but ingenious in plot, rich
with the humOr of the West, and from begin
ming to end. alive with absorbing interest, this
book cannot fail to sustain and extend the au-

There is priest named Father Scully
in Cambridgport, Mass, who enforces the
duties of Catholic parents to send their
children to the parochial school, by the
snathemas of the church-ex-communica-
tion and exposure to perdition. Some of
the Catholics send their children to the
Goddess, free, public schools" this
course is resorted to, to break up the pat
ronage. A case has been recently decid-
ed in the courts, by heavy verdict, where
the institutions of the church were brought
to bear upon apostate Catholics, by infu-
encipg his trade and breaking down his
business, SC that that course was found to
be little expensive. This resort, there
fore, Of stripping the delinquent of his
hopes of salvation, is. no doubt, believed
will reach the end without exposure. But
the papers tell us that some of the Massa-
chusetts Catholics find that the public
schools are cheaper than the psrochial
schools, and are of a much higher stan
dard and more beneficial to the children.
The parents are, therefore, defying Faith
er Scully's claims of holding the keys of
Heaven, and of admitting or excluding
whom he will from the blest abodes.
