WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO.
The population OF the District Is exceptional in
regard to its taxpaying ability. About three
nnths OF the Inhabitants colored, largely immi-
grafton from the states during the late war, and
contributing comparatively little to the public
revenues. About twO-ninths are temporary resi-
dents, being composed OF those who are from the

From the above it Will be seen that the educa-
t-0nal system OF the District since 1861 has grown
from few struggling schools, attended by only
the poorer class OF white cadren in the city. into
great system OF public schools with an attend
ance OF nearly $4,000 children OF all classes and a
corps or nearly 800 teachers. The system now in
Guides well ORGANIZED high schools for both sexes
and excellent training schools for graduates from
The high schools who are to become teachers. In
1861 most OF the schools occupied rented rooms
and the entire value OF school property owned
sites, buildings and furniture-did not exceed
$4,000. Now the value of the school property
owned Is estimated at about s., 100000
THE EXPENSE OF BUILDING UP AND SUPPORTING
such system of schools has been very heavy
burden upon the District. That public education
Is not more expensive In Washington than it is in

Morey letter comes from New York. Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt, who was charged with con-
niving at the forgery, has, it is said, partially
succeeded in clearing up the mystery. 1t APP
pears that the ringleader in the conspiracy was
II. H. Hadley, prominent officer of the Han
ization that embraced within its membership a
number Of Republican politicians who foolishly
jumped into the Democratic ranks at time
when they imagined that Hancock would be
elected. Hadley has told the story of his con-
nection with the forgery. While the details Of
the statement are suppressed, it is known that
Hadley and his associates palmed off the letter
MS an original document upon the Democratic
National Committee.
As Gov. Plaisted refuses to call the

THE PERUVIAN AFFAIR.

Senator Blair was again before the Foreign
Affairs Committee on the 4th inst, but his ex-
animation added little if anything, to the snm
of human knowledge concerning the affair
under investigation. The most important
statement that he made was that he
never heard of the letter of Shipherd to
Hurlbut offering $250,0O0 until Dec. 5, when
ne was at the house of MIR. Blaine, and the
latter called his attention to the letter he had
received, giving the first information about it.
The general drift of the cross-examination went
to show that the Senator was the dupe of the
willy Shipherd
The examination of Senator Blair by the
Foreign Affairs Committee on the 9Th inst. con-
sisted largely Of the reading of statistics from
the stStatesmans Year Book" and 90 Spofford's
Almanac as to the condition and population
of Peru and Chill and catechising Mr.. Blair
with regard to them. Witness thought
there could be no doubt but that English in
fiuence predominated commercially IN South
America, and that Chill holds commercial rela-
tions almost exclusively with European ma
tions, particularly with England. from whom
she has received substantial financial aid.
Witness stated that Shipherd placed the amount
of their claim at $135, 100000, and that of
Cochet at 81 200, 900, 600. It was always clear
to him (witnesS) that they would get great
amount of it. Shipherd indicated readiness
to take in settlement from Peru whatever
might seem fair.
In the Peruvian Company investigation at
Washington, on the Sth inst, Senator Blair
acknowledged he had accepted 500, 900 worth
of Shepherds stock, but had not been in
fuenced by mere money considerations. He
saw Peru the under dog, and his sympathies
were enlisted in her behalf. This closed the
investigation, except SO far as the sub-com-
mittee is concerned

Tie Arizona Indian War.

Capt. Harris, of the First Cavalry, and COM
mand, who reached Tombstone May 3, report
that all the hostiles had ESCAPED to Mexico.
There were no hostiles in the Dragon mount
aims or anywhere else within fifty miles of
Tombstone A careful summary shows total
of 141 whites and Mexicans killed by Indians
during the recent raid. Five hundred head Of
stock were killed and captured, and over $50, 900
worth of property destroyed
Capt. Upper and his troops had second
encounter with the Indians about forty-iye
miles south of CIoverdale, killing forty Indians
and recapturing about 200 head of stock. Tup-
per lost one killed and one wounded. The re-
ported killing of Indians by Mexican troops is
fully confirmed. The engagement was a most
sanguinary one. The number of red
skins slain was sevepty-eigbt, and
of soldiers twenty. Thirty-Jhree II
dams were captured. Loco, with twenty
five warriors, escaped. The work OF few
Mexican troops in thus killing and capturing
the Indian band that our own ermy could not
catch causes much ill-concealed modification
in army circles. The Secretary of War informs
Congress that there are in Arizona 2,273 an
listed men and 40 officers, in addition to the
forces under Gen. Forsyth. 1t is believed at
Washington that the war il ended.

Secretary Forster explained to the
House of Commons that he resigned because
he could not agree to the unconditional release

had broken up the Land League or put it under
petticoats, but he feared the work would be
undone by opening the prison doors. Parnell,
if let alone, would have become the uncrowned
King of Ireland.
