DIR. John ID. EseasEef,

Superintendent of the city schools of Gin
cinnati, delivered splendid address at the
opera-house last evening on the subject of
Literary and Moral Training in the Public
Schools" He was introduced to the au-
dience by DIR. e. S. Joynes in a few pleas
ant words. The speaker arose and ex-
pressed his gratitude to the persons who
have established the Normal school He
was decidedly in favor of English literature,
beginning with the authors of the day He
said too much time was devoted to arith-
metic, and advised the abandonment of
puzzling problems and give the time to
reading. He objected to the mode of max
ing children commit to memory pages of
history.
He then took up the moral training
through the gems of literature. The speak
er is a gentleman of fine physical appear
ance and had voice such as could be ex-
pected in such man. His lecture abound
ed in beautiful passages logically connected,
and was interesting from beginning to end.
His delivery was good, and no one left the
house without feeling that he had had lit
erary treat. The speaker read several gems
with such animation as to make the audi
ence feel the vivid thoughts of the author

A WASHINGTON special to the Gin

The complexion of the next House
OF Representatives, as compiled from
the election returns of the last Con
gresslonal Directory, show Repub-
hcan majority of one over all in the

the three Republican vacancies in
New York, or the Frye vacancy in
Maine, so that con rary to the very
general impression the complexion
of the next House does not depend
upon the election Of successors to
Miller and Lapham. In addition to
the l48 members, which is one more
than a majority, the Repub-
hcans will have the votes of Hyatt

Federal C.urt Mates.

The grand jury of the Federal Court
having completed its work, was discharged
yesterday, and all the other jurors except
those engaged in cases on trial.
The Snyder case, from Chattanooga, is
still in the hands of the jury, and will proba-
bly, be mistrial.
The court was engaged yesterday evening
on the case of Jane Griggs VS..
r. G. Huston & Co., damage case. The
company sued were contractors on the con-
struction of the Cincinnati Southern Rail
way, and after its completion into Chatt4-
nooga, an engine was taken out for an ex-
cursion trip out of Chattanooga, with con-
tractors and hands. There were five men
setting in front of the engine, and it ran
into fiat car on the track, and three
of those men were fatally injured. 1t is
the wife of one of the deceased who
brings the suit. A decision will likely be
reached to-day.
The docket is about finished. and court
will no doubt adjourn finally to-day.

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

ALBANY, July 23 The Democratic
members Of the Legislature, through
their joint caucus committee, have
issued the following address 10 the
Democratic citizens of the State of
New York, and to the citizens of the
State without distinction of party,
in which they say: AT great ex-
pense to the State, and at great ex-
pense and Inconvenience to the
members of the legislature, the two
houses of the leg stature have been
forcibly in session for a length If
time unprecedented in the history of
this State, and, as we believe,
without an example in the
history of any commonwealth
of the Union. Tie dscords and
quarrels in the Republican majority
have separates us from our homes
and business from the beginning of
the year to nearl y the closing days
of the second month OF summer, or
for nearly two hundred days. The
chief cause of this uncalled for de-
tention was the qu rrel with the
President of the United Sta es on
the one side, and the Weep resident
and the two Senators from the State
of New York TN the other. The
source of this discord Was the ques-
tion of official patronage
or the SPOTS of office
The collector of the Port
of New York was forced to resign in
the midst of his term of service from
the place where he was serving with
general acceptance to the public and
appointed to place abroad uncalled
for by his friends or by the public,
in which he has no experience.
This change, against which
the mere ants of New York
protested in large numbers, was
made in total disregard of civil
service reform, and was not called
for by any principle of political
duty nor in the interest of the
public service. The purpose of the
act was to reward those who had
been persistenily successful in Sc
curing his particular nomination,
and to punish those who had re-
sisted the leading member and
members of the national Republican
convention claiming the right of
third term of executive service for
a aprevious President. Referring to the
resignation of the two senators they
Say the man who inspired this resig,
nation was a junior Senator of the
State, who had been three times
elected to the United States Senate
by one party Of the S ate, whose
longer service be now refused, and
simply, owing to the fact of the
nomination to the Senate of one
chief offender, who had opposed his
ambi ion and wishes at Chicago and
elsewhere. The useless resignation
Of these two men, had cost the State,
not only large am m2unt of money,
but what is more va liable, its honor,
dignity and self-respect' The two
factions, known by the vulgar, but

ALWAYS expect to have judicious Ministers,
and there Is no reason why Minister OF
the Interior who was unscrupulous, or even
wronc-headed, should not make as many
votes as he chose, who might at the first
election carry his supporter triumphantiy
but who of course IN time would swing
round and rend him and his party. This
is decidedly very loose end, and one
which had better be tied up tightly when

matter which interests the native even
more than the whiteman, and 1t Is one up
on which both can unite very heartily IL

that in this particular case the course Is

should be property qualification, the OBJ

would very much ike to have from the
immigration Commissioner statement,
letting the public know what these altera-
tions are. we should then have something
tangible to deal with: as fact, at the
present moment, we doubt whether any one
outside the Commissioner of immigration
knows what the required notifications
and changes would be. Upon this, most
men have been really arguing IN the AIR,
have been arguing about words instead OF
upon facts; let us have these facts before
us and then let us fire away. After all,
what most people want is not this or that
particular thing carried out, because they
have a pre- judice for it; what they want is
fair discussion, the true merits of the case
laid before them and upon these data, the
best course mapped out that human skill
and foresight can supply.
Another point which needs elucidation
is that of the duties of the "protector.
We must confess that looking at the mat
ter on the first blush, we do not like the
idea of an officer appointed by foreign
government holding such position IN
our country: but here again there may be
another side to the case, the protector
powers may only consist in advising about
legal points and in watching that the Ia
borer got justice in our courts, the pro
tector having no diplomatic power direct
but being only able to act as any other
British subject could act, through his
Consul. Upon this point also we ask for
light Finally, and because We ask the
question last, it is by no means least, we
would like to know what view our power
| full neighbor over the water takes of the
matter.
When these questions are answered We
shall be in a better position to argue out
the matter and to enter upon its details
There is little doubt of the wisdom Of
having more than one string to your bow
and Portuguese immigration may, somC
day fail us: we should then be in the
dilemma of having to choose between thC
Hindu and the Chinaman. We must the1
know how the matter stands between them
as to their national characteristics mos
people are fairly well informed; as K
certain points about the introduction o
the Hindu, we still require information
and for that information we shall lool

"GATHER up loose ends +" is good advice,
it is bad policy to have a lot of useless
strings flying in the wind, it looks untidy
and at times they may get about your feet
and trip you up. Now we have a lot of
loose ends floating about our civil and
criminal codes, which might just as well
be gathered up" Laws which have be-
come dead letter should be wiped off the
slate, or if they stand in the statute book
they should be enforced. How ridiculous.
nay how unjust it is, to fine a Chinaman
under the Sunday law, for carrying his
rice on the Sabbath, in order to house it
from an impending shower, while we allow
the law to be openly broken by almost
every citizen of Honolulu. As the law
reads, any one driving out for pleasure on
the Sabbath day is liable to be fined cook
ing is after ali not a work of necessity
people might eat their food cold once a
week at least any one interested in carry
ing out the strict letter of the law might
argue in this fashion. We viii venture 10
say that almost every one, from the Chief
Justice down to the poorest Chinaman, is
liable to a fine for his conduct on Sunday
We never, however, hear that the people
who drive out in carriages, or those who
cook their dinners, or who attend to the
distribution of letters In the postofice, or
who open their stores to sell newspapers
when a mail happens to come in, are
brought up under the Sunday law Oh
dear no, that would be making the law
ridiculous a prosecution or two of such
people 'oould make the Law appear ridicu-
Ious and we should have it either wiped
out, or should have it modified in such a
manner that large proportion Of the com
munity may not be open law breakers and
yet go unpunished, while others are pun
ished, in what must appear to them as an
arbitrary manner. We are not against the
Sunday law, and would not have it abol-
ished entirely; but we certainly would
have it worded in different manner.
