PRINCE BISMARCK appearslikely to have
his own way again. The letter i'll which
Emperor William refuses to accept his re
signation and asks him to define the
changes he desires, virtually assures the
chancellor that the powerful influence of
Prussia will be exercised in his behalf.
The emperor evidently deems state rights
of little account compared with the con
tinuance of Prince Bismarck in Office.

given their efforts to the school they are
convinced that they have failed to secure
the best attainable results, and there
fore believe it to be the duty of
the board to adopt any measure that
promises to increase their efficiency. We
have 5000 children to educate and we
spend $45, 900 of the peoples money to do
it. Shall we not therefore do all that can be
done to secure the best possible results? ?
Having visited schools in other cities
where they have the city superintendency
he is convinced that they are in bet
ter condition than our own. In
the borough of Columbia, with 1,3OO
children in the schools, 700 of them, or
more than one half are in grade above the
primaries. In Lancaster with 1000 pupils,
over 1000 are in the primaries. In Read
ing almost one half of the pupils are in the
primaries. Why are our schools SO far
behind them? 1t is not because our teach
ers are less efficient, for as body they are
equal to any teaching elsewhere but it is
because they lack a responsible and direct
ing head, to properly classify the studies,
to organize uniformity of instruction
and discipline. In Reading there is almost
as much accomplished in a three years
course as there is with us in four years.
course. There is some reason for this loss
Of time and money, and it is our duty to
seek and adopt remedy.
Mr.. Eberly replied, declaring that he de-
lieved our schools to be equal to those of
other cities, and if they were not the cleo
ton of a city superintendent would not
better them, He thought it would he

THE Philadelphia Ledger has figured up
the result of the election Of delegates to
the national convention us thus far held, as
follows For the Chicago convention 10
states and territories have chosen their
delegates, aggregating 25s delegates out
of 756 composing the convention. So far
as can be asccrtained from the instructions
given delegates and the announced indivi-
dual preferences of those uninstructed,
there are for General Grant 155, for Sena-
tor Blaine SO, for Senator Edmunds II, for
Secretary Sherman 8, for Mr.. Washburne

Mr.. Wilson called attention to the act of
1867, which makes it optional with school
boards to elect city superintendent for an
unexpired term by means of convention
or for full term, at the time appointed,
at stated meeting of the board.
Mr.. Eberly was not yet satisfied. He
feared if the Office was once created it
would be a permanent institution and the
board could not abolish it. The act of As
sembly which says the board may elect
may be construed to mean that it shall
elect. Besides il superintendent is once
elected the board will have on it's hands
an officer, who if not absolutely bad and
inefficient will be hard to get rid of, but
who will be reelected, as many inefficient
teachers are now reelected. He thought
no sufficient reason for the election of a
city superintendent had been advanced
and that the board would not be justified
in eleecting a salaried officer to perform
the onerous duties now devolving on a
committee. If the committee is unwilling
or unable to perform their duties let them
resign. They had no right to the honors
of the station unless they peform the du-
ties. If they were unwilling to act others
might be willing who would not consider
the duties onerous.
Mr.. Baker was surprised to hear Mr..
Eberly say that the duties Of the superin-
tending committee were not onerous. He
that Mr.. Eberly served on
hat committee one year and refused to
serve longer because he could not spare the
lime necessary. Every other member of

RAILROAD TAX SUITS.

The Board of Equalization Of Lander
county, corrected the assessed value of
26, 70-l00 miles of the. Central Pacific
Railroad by increasing it from Sc, 900 to
$4,000 per mile. and by raising the as
sessed value of 40, 325 acres of land be-
longing to the Central Pacific Railroad
Company from $50. to 800, 225. The
Board also corrected the assessed value
of the Nevada Central Railway by In
creasing it from $1,000 to "a, 500 per
mile.
The Railroad Companies refused to pay
on the increased valuation, and the
Board of. County Commissioners has
decided to bring suit for it's collection.
The Board engaged the services of
Henry Mayenbaum, Attorney at Law,
to assist the District Attorney in. prose-
cutting the suits, and entered into an
agreement to pay him one-half of the
amount of taxes he may be able to col
lect from the Railroad Companies or
either of them, or that may be
paid by said companies, or either
of them, without suit over and
abo~e the original assessment. The
Commissioners nave also agreed not to
reduce the taxes on said railroads, nor
compromise or settle with them for less
than the whole taxes without the con-
sent of said Mayenbaum.

TAMMANY DISRUPTED.

The political organization known as
Tammany Hall, III New York city, is
virtually disrupted. 1t consummated
its own destruction by opposing Robin
son for Governor of the Empire State,
and comprising the defeat of General
Hancock for President of the United
States. Under "Boss" Tweed, Tam
many was, beyond doubt, the most
corrupt political organization in the
country, not excepting the Washington
Pavement Ring and the Whisky Ring,
under Grants Administration. 1t has
done as much, ii not more, to bring the
Democratic party into disrepute,
throughout the country, as anything
that ever transpired in politics. 1t was
. stencil in the nostrils of decent men
of all parties. When Democrats re-
tered to the corruption in national af-
fairs, and the rings which fourished at
Washington under Grant, Republicans
simply pointed to Tammany and the
Democrats were silenced.
Now happily Tammany is going to
pieces. John Kelly, its chief, has been
shelved for Controller of New York
city, and Allan Campbell, Democrat,
who has no sympathy with that wing
OF the party, confirmed in his stead.
Mayor. Cooper's. nominations for city
officers were made frons the Republican
and anti Tammany Democratic ranks,
and every one of them were confirmed
by the Board Of Aldermen. As Tam
many no longer has control of the Off
ees and patronage of the city, it will
rapidly go to pieces, and none but those
who fattened on its spells will regret its
downfall.

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

Nine-tenths of the business portion
of Pensacolawas destroyed by fire about
II o'clock Saturday night, Loss about,
100000. All the buildings are burnt
from Roma street south to Saragosa
street, except the Byrnes buildings, in
all comprising four blocks. The loss to
the merchants is very heavy, as they
had Just received their Fall stocks.
The calamity is without precedent in
the history of Pensacola, and business
is almost suspended in consequence.
There is no newspaper or job office,
drug store, or stationery store left in
the city. The Merchants Hotel and
the telegraph Offices are also destroyed.

The New York Express says: The
arrival at the assay office here of gold
from Europe for the week ended yester-
day were 81 -604, 700, of which s37, 500
was in American coin and 81 SOP, 900
foreign coin and bars. The total arrivals
since August ID were $50, 3S7, 800. of
which s., 1859, 600 was American coin
and S46,6l7, 900 was foreign coin and
bars. The total arrivals for the same
period last year were 81 49,, 600. The
payments by the assay office on this
account were SSH, l6S last week, and
SAG, 337, Los since August ID. As the
bank statement clearly shows this gold
is not remaining in New York, but is
being promptly shipped to the West
and South, where it is held and en-
ployed in moving crops and in charging
the area of agricultural development.

TIE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CONTEST.

We find the following in the tele-
graphic synopsis of the Senate pro-
ceedings OF Tuesday, the 9Th instant
The Senate resumed consideration of
the resolutions declaring Spoford cnti
tied to the seat occupied by Kellogg.
Vest supported the resolutions. He
had heard no argument against them
except the usual argument of the Re-
publican party, namely, partisan abuse
in the minority report on this case.
That report insinuated that ex-Confed-
crates, now Senators, could not be
as understood by Republican politicians
was loyalty to the Republican party.
They received with open arms Long
street, Mosby, Key, and all who would
vote the Republican ticket and consent
to let Republicans have the spoils of
office.
Vest then discussed the doctrine of
res adjudlcata, and ina cOlloquy with
Carpenter, maintained that it was not
applicable to the Senate's action. The
Constitution required each State had
two Senators. Nothing could debar it
from judging Of the qualification of its
members. The opposite doctrine
would imply that men wrongfulIy

never have their title questioned, and
States might thus be deprived OF
Constitutional representation. He re-
Il viewed tho testimony taken by the
Commission, commenting upon it In q
very sarcastic and humorous way. He
arraigned the republican party for
the practice of rewartling political cor
ruptlonists with offices. His remarks
on this point GOV cred the PresiGen-
tial imbroglio of 1876. He concluded
} by an eloquent statement of the peace
) full and industrial policy of the South
. ern States, under which prosperity was
returning, and which gave the lie to
Republican charges of buildozing and
the unsettled state of society. The
Senate could not undo the wrongs suf-
fered by Louisiana. but could refuse to
, perpetual e that suffered by reason of he'

they had better, for decency's sake,
