One of the main causes or the rise IN silver

more REASONS than The belief Of financial men In
Germsny IL hardly sufficient ground on which to co mo
to the conclusion that silver will be- Temonetzed forth

tracts contained in the Parliamentary paper where thus

loss has been rather severe. She U.s. besides be-

allowed for.
All this fully justines the opinion that tho depreca-

1t will thus be that the relative production OF the
two metals IN California remains very much IN the
former proportions Of about One-haf gold and Oneha
silver There is therefore nothing in this 10 account for

BY order Of the Board Of Education
he pupils OF the High School were pre-


the pupils OF the High School were pre-
sented, one day last week, with pam
phlet containing the rules and regula-
tons of said Board. It had become
necessary to inform some of the youth
full asplrants for notoriety in the free
schools that this is a lava biding COM
munity, both in the schools and out,
and SO the school board took this
method to teach the members of the
High School their duty as pupils, and
embryo American citizens. Everybody
III this country is amenable to law, and
where can this fact be so we'll taught
dis in the schools OF our land? Parents
sent their children to school to improve
their minds, to store them with useful
knowledge that shall fit them to be
better men and women and better cit
liens i'll the future, and also to learn to
obey. A boy or girl, who does not learn
to obey, VIII never know how to rule
wisely il called to positions Of trus. in
after life. The pupils attending school
in this city have made considerable
complaint Of the Principal, as regards
his mode Of government and his gen
eral conduct as the highest officer in
charge OF the schools. Last Wednes-
day afternoon several members Of the
school-board, invited by Mr.. Hubbard,
took d birds-eye view OF the pupil, OF
The High School from ole OF the reel
tation rooms, unbeknoWn to the young
gentlemen and ladies who are under
the Immediate supervision of Prof.
Hubbard. The pupils certainly did
not behave like ladies and gentlemen,
and the members of tie board, after
taking a long look at the scAool-room
and its refractory inmates, came away
realizing that strong hand is necessa-
ry to curb such turbulent spirits. Lii
parents OF. pupils have complaint to
make against any one connected with
the schools, let such complaint be made
to the superintendent in person, or
brought before the Board ut one of
their official meetings.. No one thing
has stirred up such a commotion in
this city for several years as the pes
ent difficulty in the schools. On the
streets, in every house on both sides of
the river it forms the principal topic
of conversation. No uneasiness need
be felt, however, as to the final result
Of the difficulty, for the Superintend-
ent is q man of known ability and in
|tegrity, and will, all in good time,
bring "order out of chaos

A Protest and an AppenI.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: A craving for sensational literature
seems to be Characteristic of the times
Dime novels Mrs. Southworth's books
"Helen's Babies" and THAT Husband of
Mine" have all beon devoured with avdity by
the reading public, and the romance and scan.
dal Of "Narragansett Pier" have been served
upby journalists aud correspondents ad nau-
scum. The safety that follows such feast
brings also some qualms of conscience to those
who have any regard for til amenities, not to
say decencies, of life
Had tho guest who was insulted by Gov
ernor Sprague been Mr.. Smith or Jones of
no repute, Rumor, with her 100 tongues
would have been mute. But he was a man of
mark-the leader of great political party,
who had warned the country of impend ng
danger. If by tramplng upon the character
of a woman he can be assailed, why should his
enemies hesitate? SO they rush upon her as
savagely as the Zulus did upon the young
Prince Napoleon. How could Ne wspaper Row
forbear to "cast the first stone" when it was
opening Bonanza mine for their papers?
hundred steel pens were aimed at the
| lady of Canonchct, and, TO the shame of our
SEX be 1t spoken, lady correspondents like
"Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart" Joined in the
hue aud cry of the dogs of war.

been an unusual one. Many women in our coun-
try suffer from the sullen or frenzied temper of
an Incorporate ehusband-they livewith sword
hanging over their heads until its fall some.

ms it did the wife of Governor Sprague, when,
with her three little girls, she fed from his
roof.
The spectacle might have aroused the sym
pathy and chivaric feeling of even Journal

pens in gall, and without jury or trial and
with such circumstantial evidence rs brOugh
Desdemona to her death, they have condemned
an innocent woman. One of the Sunday
papers, most vituperative in tone, appeared in
| its next issue with portrait of the lady whom
all onco delighted to honor.
History repeats itself, and the nineteenth
century acts again the drama of the Scarlet
Letter" as portrayed by Hawthorne.
But Hester Prynnc, who stood in the pillory
in Boston 200 years ago, had been tried by a
Jury of her peers, our Puritan ancestors, and
the little Pearl" whom she carried in her
arms, was the child of shame
Governor Sprague claims the three little
pearls whom he has lost us his own children
Their suffering mother has the sympathy and
respect of good women and honorable men.
She belongs to u sisteThOod who pass through

CLARKsoN N. POTTER is good style of
Democratic candidate, for he is sound on
the doctrine of Confederate State rights
The following extract is from one of his
speeches in Congress:
The theory of equality among States Is
right was myself an extreme States rights
man. am about to declare what, l presume,
few men in the House would venture to ad.
mit-that If was to make q constitution for
the future government of rising States l would
put provision in it whereby a sufficient num-
Der or proportion of those States might 20 out
of the union whenever they pleased; for
believe good government can in the long run
only be maintained by being In accordance
with the interests of those who are under it.
l am convinced that whenever the roa! inter
ests of great section prompt 1t to go out of
such union it should be allowed to go.
II would trouble JEFF DAVIS or LAMAR
to 90 further than this into the swamp of
State Rights and secession. 1t occurs to us
that the State of New York does not want q
rank secessionist for its slieutenant-governor
The people must step on and trample such
heresies under foot.

States as Southern sentiment is for It, This
is the Northern remedy, aud it will be ap-
piled with all the rigor at the ballot box
that marked Northern energy and patriot
ism during tho rebellion in raising and
equipping armies to crush it out. The Ma
tional salvation, unity, peace and prosperity
all alike demand that the entire South
shall promtly put itself in limo with the
North in respecting and observing oil the
requirements of the Constitution and the
laws, as they have been nodded and shaped
under the logic of events that transpired
while the Nation was saving its own life,
and which now apply to its future peace,
prosperity and welfare.

National Republican., 1879-09-24

A PROPOSITION has been broached in
Louisiana that the Republican State con-
vention which meets on the Goth of October
proximo for the nomination of State officers
shall proceed also to make nominations for
the party of its candidates for Congress to
run in 1850. This would be taking time by
the forelocll in the most emphatic way
reaching away out in advance, so to speak.
But the project is sustained by the argu-
ment that 1t would do away with the ex-
pense ofconventions next year and give the
nominees all the time they could require
more than a year-for thorough can
vass of their districts. In the Third dis
trict, for example, it is proposed to renom-
mate Mr.. ROBERT o. HEBER, who is now
contesting Mr.. ACKLENs seat in the present
House, and give him long-winded chance
to re-elect himself, as he undoubtedly
would be able to do under fair count.
