a SENSIBLE SANITARY SUCCESS
TON

y very suggestive and sensible article
from "a Boston medical journal advo-
Gates the appointment o. a medical in
spector for the public schools "r oi'is"
where large numbers of children are
crowded into one building.
The idea is new one, and IS backed
up by arguments with formidable ar
raw of facts and statistics showing the
evil consequences of a lack Of sanitary
supervision. The spread Of contagious
diseases is greatly accelerated by the ig-
nOrance and carelessness Of parents who
allow their children to attend school
while suffering from mild ATTACKS, or
before they have fully recovered from
severe illness. 1t not seldom happens
that children coming from an infected
house, though not actually suffering
themselves, disseminate the germs OF
disease through school room and en-
hundreds of others. The lack of proper
ventilation, heating and draining are
prolific sources OftrOuble also. There is
no question that the impairment of
health too frequently observed among
pupils Ofpublic schools is largely due to
non-ObServance of sanitary laws, though
too often attributed to excessive study
and mental effort.
The Medical Journal argues that q
medical Inspector, if he is competent
and not hampered, can, by constant in
spection, prevent much of the impair
ment of health which exists under the
present system, and that he can, with
efficient cooperation, prevent in a great
measure the spread of the various con-
tagious diseases peculiar to childhood
through the agency of the schools. The
subject is one of great importance and
the suggestions fthe JDUTndiare worthy
of careful consideration whether its par
ticular method of dealing with the prob
lem be adopted or not.

THE EASTERN IRON MARKET.

The Philadelphia MANUFACTURER says
that the general trade East showed
some slight Improvement last week.
The dullness of last month was disap-
pointing, and the rising activity of April
affords encouragement.
The cost Of local freights is increasing
and furnace and mill men find their
fuel bills increasing somewhat. Labor
is somewhat restless, and employers do
not feel assured of permanency as to
cost of production. The increasing pro-
duction of mills istendingto an increase
of reproduction and consequent decline in
prices, while cost of production moves
in the opposite direction, making the
position of manufacturers a peculiar
one. Foreign iron is coming in more
freely, but it is on old orders generally.
Foreign prices are easing up a little.
The expected decline in pig iron quo
tatiOns has not taken place to the de-
gree expected by large class of buyers
who have been buying in small lots for
two months or more. Someare depart
ing from this oyer-cautiousness and are
making summer contracts, but the
greater number are still holding Off
Quotations are as follows: No. Foun-
dry, $2+@2o at furnace; No. ?, $40
$3.50; Gray Forge, s22G2'.5 Con-
sumers are not willing to pay these
prices for more than enough to carry
Them over until further developments.
The furnaces have fair supply oforderS
ON hand and could book perhaps two
months more if offers were accepted.
1t cannot be denied but that pig iron isa
little off but makers do not think it will
stay where it is. A better demand is
looked for at very early day.

THE Philadelphia North american is
of opinion that 1.-THE training of children
by the use of straps, pokers, forks, dark
rooms, starvation, dragging about by
the hair and beating with fists and feet"
is getting altogether too common nova
days. Undoubtedly. And the reason
is that brutal parents and guardians can
easily escape the punishment they rich
ly deserve. Reform is needed.

SWEEPING BILL.

The clause of the Army Appropria-
ton bin, which proposes to retire Of
fieers at the age Of go, is causing much
discussion inmilitary circles.
The bill has already passed the House
and il ii becomes law will result in
sweeping changes. During the next
five years the retirements will be as fol-
lows: Five general officers, including
Generals SHERMAN, MCDowELL,H HAN
COCK, Pore and @. c. AUagR; three
neutrality-suspicious. Judge advocate,
seven quartermasters, three commits
saries Of subsistence, sixteen medical
officers, eleven paymasters, twelve en-
gineer officers, two ordnance officers,
eleven colonies, seven lieutenant-col-
onels, three majors and four captains of
infantry, four colonies, two lieutenant
colonies, three majors, two captains OF
cavalry and five colonies, five lieuten-
ant-colonels, one major and three cap
tains of artillery. The bill also provides
for the compulsory retirement of all Of
fcers who have served forty years re-
gardless of age. This would result in
the immediate retirement Of Generals
SHERMAN, MCDOWELL and INGALLS,,
as well as a number of officers in the
quartermasterand surgical departments.

The Republicans of the State are setting
up piteous howl over the present arrange
ment of the congressional districts. Yet
they are rallying and encouraging their
party, and will make desperate effort to
elect a congressman or so in the State. John
A. Hutchinson will go as acarpet Dagger to
Wheeling and try Hon. Ben Wilson again
in the First district. The other districts
will be fitted out with the most available
candidates the party can produce. An at.
tempt will be made to induce the oRti:fW-
menti element OF the state to support their
ticket, which is not apt to be done by the
temperance people, who are composed of
both political parties, and are generally men
of good, sound principles and not willing to
risk the temperance cause, which is good
one with apolitical party that has been and
will be continually led to defeat in this
State

IN changing the law in reference to
the mode of selecting grand jurors, the
Legislature made the act to take effect
from its passage, and at the same time
failed to notify the courts of the rrOvi-
sions of the act. The act might have
taken effect in ninety days from its
passage, as it was not one Of pressing
Importance. At the present term Ofthe
Circuit Court Judge Stealey did not feel
justified in allowing the grand jury to
act in its official capacity; therefore he
discharged the jurors at the opening OF
cOurt.-TyiGJ County Star.
The entire grand jury law, copied
from the original act, has been pub
lished in the REGISTER, and is just as
accurate as it will be in the "Acts."

Mr.. JOHN +. SLATER, Of Norwich,
who has made the magnificent gift of
one million dollars for the advancement
of education among the freedmen of the
South, is especially to be commended,
not only for his liberality, but also for
his good judgment. In the first place,
he wisely disposes of u portion Of his
wealth during his lifetime, instead of
leaving it to be quarreled over by his
heirs and consumed by the lawyers.
This is so obviously the better plan that
it seems strange that so few adopt it.

BERLIN, Germany, March Is, 1852
The students of this city have nlatured
a plan for forming Il society for the cuI-
tivation of eloquence, the first impetus
to wAich was given by the fact that
Englishmen and Americans, two
nations OF pre-eninent Parliamentary
renown, are successfully taught at
school the art of eloquence, which has
hitherto been sadly neglected in Ger
man educational establishments. Po-
iitical and politico eco nomical questions
are to form the chief object of debate,
TO be conducted on strictly parliament
tary rules. In order to guard against
any excess by word or deed, all partic-
ipants are required to promise on their
word of honor to abstain from person
alities, aud in no case to resort to
dueIIing on account of any difference
Of opinion likely 10 arise in the course
OF discussions.
The tariff on American corned-beef
remains a mooted question after all,
and the German Minister of Finance
appears to be set at defiance by the Gus
toms officials. by special decree, he
resorted to the former low rate Of duty
in spite of tin boxes and labels, declar-
ing beef to be meat and not ir0nUdTe.
The revenue officers nevertheless con-
tinue to levy the enhanced rate, on the
plea that the said tin boxes are not the
only coverings, and icing packed in
wooden cases, these latter constitute
the real outer covering, there by making
contents, the tin boxes, irrespective of
what they contain, Liable to be classified
as ironware. This gibbling is rather
too palpabe and nonsensical to pass fer
II Joke, and the Minister of Finance will |
he obliged to issue another decree in
order to enforce his Interpretation of
the law.

DiSAPpOINTlaENT.

The announcement yesterday that
the President had vetoed the Chinese
bill fell like pail upon our people, and
was the occasion of great disappoint-
ment. The belief was strong that the
veto might have been based upon the
period Of time restricting immigration,
and that the President had returned
the measure to the Senate with an in
timation that it would meet his views
with that clause reduced. But from
his message it seems that the belief was
far from correct. His objections ar1
various, and wholly unanswerable to the
arguments presented by the repre-
sentatives in Congress from this coast.
We who for thirty years have endured
Il pest among Us, and which is increas-
ing from month to month, to he re-
minded by the President Of the United
States, that after the subject has been
so often and thoroughly presented i'll
its true light, that on our coast ''stand
monuments Of Chinese Industry is
asking too much of the nerves and
patience of our people. AS citizens Of
portion of the Union that has con
tributed largely to the enrichment Of
the whole country, we asked for pro-
lection, and it has been denied. The
veto of the Fiiteen-Passenger bill by
President Hayes was not without cause.
The commission appointed to proceed to
China and prepare treaty that would
admit of proper legislation on the sub
ject followed, aud it was expected
that redress would ensue. Chagrin
and disgust are words that but
f,intly express the feeling which now
prevails. The "brotherhood Of man
and fatherhood of Cod doctrine has
won the day. The devil can quote |
scripture and find in it an excuse for
polygamy and other vices. 1t upheld |
slavery of the black race in our country |
and now seeks to pull the white race
down to the same level. 1t takes a long |
time to overcome prejudice and remedy |
an evil, but the curse of Chinese immi-
grafton will be removed so sure as the
sun rises and sets James q. Blaine, |
the leading statesman of the country, d
iIIau whose CuuNICtluIIs Un the Chinese
question are pronounced, can and will
bring about the remedy following the
saxt Presidential campaign
