WASHINGTON, D. G.. April 9.-The United
States Consul-General at Frankfort, on the
Main, in his dispatch to the Department
of State dated March 9Th, 1880, announces
that new rules of spelling have been pre-
sented by the Prussian Government for the
public schools. Great differences of opinion
prevail as to the propriety of the innova-
ton proposed and an interesting discussion
of the subject will appear in the newspap-
ers. The new rules have been published in
a manual, copy of which is transmitted
with Mr.. Lees report The subject is one
of interest to the Boards of Education in
the United States, in view Of the fact that
the German language is taught in many of
our schools, and our scholars generally
must become attentive to the discussions.

ymous letter written to Springer In his
letter to the Committee Donnelly sa, s:
springer has made an extraordinary and
false and absurd charge that the letter was
written by friend Of mine with my knowl-
edge and consent. As the letter on its face
purports to be an attempt to corrupt the
action of member of your Committee it is
due to that gentleman it is due to Wash
burn, it is due to me, it is due to the honor
and integrity of the Committee and House
that Mr.. Springer be offered an opportu-
nifty to prove his charge or retract it, and
also to demonstrate who did write the let
ter in question, and for what object it was
written. 1t was obvious that any man who
was base enough to write or instigate the
writing OF such letter, is unworthy to
hold seat'on the floor Of the House. If
members of the Committee who have been
favoring me believe that was thus guilty
| would not expect their further support

quest that your Committee will 60 to the

As the profit or loss of the Government
in the matter depends entirely upon the
judgment of the collectors, no one who is
not an accurate judge Of the value of vari-
Gus sorts of merchandise would be likely
to be employed in such capacity. In
deed, several members of the New York
Chamber of Commerce have suggested
that four experts be employed at a salary
of $4,000 per year to decide upon the
value of imports received at the port OF
New York. The ten per cent. added to
the value at which the goods are taken by
the Government allows the merchant fair
profit, and the danger of a considerable
loss would probably determine him to set
a correct value upon them. #s
