Seventeen members Of the schoo.
board met last night at their rooms il
Odd Fellows hall, and they enjoyed
a lively time, the discussions being
warm and somewhat sprightly.
There were three members absent
viz: Griswold, LawhCrn and Morrison.
The members not on hand, doubtless
view the proceedings of their coadju-
tors with earnest interest.
TIE finance committees report was
the leading object Of importance for
the consideration of the meeting. It's
salient points were to the effect that
the committee have carefully can
yassed the financial problem, and no
way presents itself to get moneys ad-
vanced to the board except to close
the schools and stop expenses. 1t will
be with difficulty that money enough
can be obtained to pay Indebtedness to
February, 1881, and no relief can be
seen except to close the schools at the
time named. The committee, there
fore, recommend that the schools be
closed on the first Of February, not to
be reopened until the fall term; that
an effort be made to induce moneyed
institutions and individuals TO take all
checks issued By the board to settle
Indebtedness at par; that after the
checks are issued, to make payment 10
full TO the time named; no other
checks or evidences of indebtedness
u be issued by the board until those
outstanding are redeemed, aud that
the checks issued for services rem
dered, or supplies furnished, shall
be a lien upon all taxes due
and to mature; and that they
shall bo settled, with interest, as fast
IS the taxes are collected, the %c0liec-
tons 10 be used for no other purpose.

A LAWRENCE SCANDAL.

Ex-Councilman McCarthy's Infatuation.
LAWRENCE. Mass, May 3l.-Quite sensa-
tional affair occurred in Garden st. last evening,
in which figured an ex-Common Councilman,
a veterinary surgeon and widow, the latter
Mrs. Elizabeth G. Boardman. The ex-Coun-
Gilman is Charles Mccarthy, who has been
prominent in temperance circles since his re-
formation some years since. The house is 104
Garden street, and about II o'clock the inmates
were startled by screams issuing from Mrs.
Boardman's apartments. fastening thither
DIR. Winchester found man on the porch en-
deavoring to gain an entrance to the room by
the window Dr. Winchester dealt the man a
vigorous blow, staggering him, and after a
brief parley, in the course OF which it was
found that the intruder was Charles Mccarthy,
the latter departed. The police were notified,
but nothing was done. Concerning the affair,
Mccarthy in explanation of his strange con-
duct says that he is infatuated with the widow.
He met her last evening on her return from
ride and demanded to know the name of her
companion. She refused to tell him, when he
struck her severe blow, telling her to the
floor. He then left tho house, but returned to
find the door locked, ond then tried to gain ac-
cess to her room by the window, with the re-
suit above stated. Mrs. Boardman is the widow
OF the late e. p. Boardman, inventor of the
safety steam governor and the Little All
Right" revolver. She has been active in tenn
perance circles, and took a special interest in
retaining Mccarthy when he was among the
lowest. This interest he appears to have mis-
construed into affection on her part, and has,
since the death of her husband, it is alleged,
forced his attentions upon her. Mccarthy has
delivered many temperance addresses through
out the State and has appeared before the Leg
islature on various occasions in relation to the
liquor law. He is a painter by trade, unedu-
Gated, but is naturally intelligent and glib
tongued There is talk of prosecuting him for
the assault, a course which he seems to court,
as he threatens to make serious developments.

How the Senators are Elected.

Inc following concerning the election of
New York Senators is of interest now In the
hrSt place, no one can be eligible as candi-
date unless he shall have reached the age of
th!rty years, been for nine years citizen of
this country and is at the time citizen of
New York. In 1866 Congress provided that
each house shall openly nominate by Uiya
g0ce vote of each member present one person
for Senator, and the name so voted for VIII ich
receives a majority of the whole number of
votes cast in each house shall be entered in the
Journal by the clerk, OF if either house fails to
give such majority the fact shall be recorded
on the journal. At u o'clock of the day fol-
lowing the members shall convene in joint
assembly and the journal of each house shall
be read, and ii the record shows that the same
person has received majority of all the votes
cast in each house he shall be declared duly
elected; but if the same person has not re-
celved a majority of the votes in each house,
or If either house has failed to take proceed
ings as above, the joint session shall proceed to
choose by UiU0 yoce vote of each member
present person for Senator, whoever receives
majority at such session being declared duly
elected. If no person receives a majority on
the first day the joint session shall assemble at
II O'Clock OF each succeeding day during the
session OF the Legislature, and shall take at
least one vote until Senator is chosen. The
constitution of New York has provision for
bidding any member of the Legislature from
receiving any civil appointment within the
State or the Senate of the United States from
the Governor, the Governor and the Senate, or
the Legislature, during the time for which he
shall be elected, but it has been held in vari-
Gus instances that State law cannot prescribe
the condition which shall be held necessary to
qualify candidates for a federal position. Some
doubt has existed as to whether the Senate at
Washington would award seat to any men,
Der of the Legislature who might be chosen
here during the progress of the canvass, bnt
Senator Jacobs, now a member of the upper
house and lawyer by profession, holds that
member of the Legislature, if duly elected,
could not be debarred.
