THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.

| Special to the REPUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May %, 'S1.
In the absence of political excite.
ment or matters of national interest
here, the contest going on at ALBANY
becomes of first Importance. It can
be no longer doubted that Senator
Conkling by his action in making war
upon a Republican President, and re-.
signing his seat in the Senate, leaving
that body in the hands of the Demo.
Gratis, has aleniated from him MANY
who were formerly ardent supporters.
The opposition to him in the New
York Legislature, in spite of the ac.
tive personal canvass be is making. is
rapidly growing. Forty Republicans
have pledged themselves not to 90
into caucus, and more are going to.
1t is now thoroughly understood by
Mr.. CoHkling that he cannot win with.
out Democratic votes. The Demo.
Gratis, In the meantime, are standing
OF, and ready to take advantage of
any Republican mistake.
The reeunding operations of the
government, under Secretary Win.
dom's policy, are practically ended.
All that now remains to be done is to
wind up the recent transactions and
pay such bonds as were not continued
at 80 per cent. 1t is impossible at
present to give the exact amount Of
bonds which will be continued at that
rate, but the figures are put by Treas.
ury officers at about S55O,OOO, 900.
The future operations of the Treasury
will consist chiefly of paying off bonds
net continued. These payments will
be made out of the surplus revenues Of
the government. There are about
Sl5'OOO,O00 skies that are not con. |
tlnued at the lower rate of interest
These will have to be paid by the 1st
OF August next. The next bonds to be-
paid are the coupon fyes, which were
not continued at 81 per cent 1t is
impossible to tell the amount of them
that will be cancelled. After these
are paid the Treasury will redeem the
registered lives that exceed the limit
OF S2oO,OOO,OOO, the limit fixed for the
of that class of bonds.
These will amount to about s7O,OOO.-
600. The Treasury yesterday after.

TEXT BOOKS.
The "Examiner's'' QuestiOna
HE Doctrine.


We have noticed of late years, the
growing disposition to ayearly change
Of text books in our public schools,
and have been surprised at the ease
with which it has been accomplished, !
In nearly every instance it has been
brought about by the ability OF some
publisher, or compiler, to folst his
print upon the school authorities, not
because of an improvement in the
books, but, first; because a profit was
to he made out of the sale of the new
book and second; because said pub
Usher, or compiler, had friends in au'
thority, who were willing to DO him
a good turn.
Tie Examiner, last week. made
the remarkable statement that text
books should be employed as an aid
to the teacher and not as the supreme
authority" and further, that IAN i'm
perfect series can be made to do good
service in the hands of able teachers
Such propositions may be brought to
rcd,tctio ad abswdam by a simple
reference to the fact that such scho'
srs as Roswell Smith, Elias LOOPS
Benjamin Silliman, Jr, and Charles
Davies have each given to scholars "
the form of books the result CT thei'
labor and research ap i may righttul
ly be accepted as supreme autAorIt51

modes Of tssching subjects. 10 re
ouire that teachers shall be superior
to the text books when there are tex
books by authors such as quoted
above, is expecting more than vii
ever be realized under our public
school system. While we do not ad
vocate, placing 10 the bands OF {
teacher, book entirely beyond hi
capacity. as we'll az that of his pupils
vet we do claim, that text book cal
culated to require some study by tn
teacher, to the end of its mastery, vii
90 further towards raising and keep
ing up the standard of our schools
than would the placing of an "lmper
feet series in his hands, that woul'
require ccntradicting and correcting
School children have great faith !,
books and it would be matter Of M
email import to them, to have thel
teacher contradict them and in the fl
nal make up Of opinion, in majority
of instances would the pupil give tn
book the benefit Of the doubt. BY al
means then, let US have text books o
the highest possible authority, such a
teachers will be bound to acknowl
edge and respect and not flood ou'

Protection to PreS1-
dent ARTHUR.
President Garfield died at Elberon,
on Monday night at thirty.fve min
utes past ten o'clock. After seventy
nine days of heroic struggle With
death, after relapse upon relapse tol |
lowed by '...o most hopeful promises
Of recovery, a brave life has passed
TO its last disappointment and let us
hope that recompense has been made
and will be lasting.
One week ago we were rejoiced to
he able to CLAIM for his condition an
approach toward convalescenoe Alas
How many times before we're our
hearts quickened by similar belief
I only to have them cast down by the
report of new complications in his
| lease.
On Friday last, the case took the
| final turn aud on Saturday and Sun
| day it became evident to his physl.
clans and attendants that he was nc
longer holding his own but was steadl-
ly losing strength. While the case
| gave slight grounds for hope on Mon
day, it is evident that no one believed
! the end to be so near as the members
. of his cabinet had retired for the
night, in houses at quite distance
from Elberon.
That his Heath was not expected te
occur so suddenly may be understood
| by the following two official bulletins
The President had another chill
4 of considerable severity this morning
which, following SO soon after the
chill Of last evening, left him very
weak indeed. His pulse became more
FREQ uent and feeble than at any time
since be recovered from the immedi.
ate shock Of the wound, and his gen
eral condition was more alarming dur.
ling to-day. His system has reacted
[ 10 some extent, and he passed the al
ternoon and evening comfortably. Al
/ this hour he is resting quietly, and nc
disturbance is expected during the
night. There has been no gam what
ever in strength, and there is, there
fore, no decrease Of anxiety.
