getting the proprietors Of the rail-
way to bring down a quantity OF
sand and fill up the fats by Fisher
mans Point and the places where an
offensive stencil is noticeable at low
water. The Government would
have splendid lots Of land available
for building upon and the health of
the community would be rendered
better. 1t has been calculated that
land to the value Of $3.50, 900 could
be 80 reclaimed.

Mr.. EDIroR,-The Saturday Press
in referring to the recent withdrawal
of Government advertising from GER
tain newspapers, asks, lugubr,ously,
/" has the spoils system begun 2" ]
can inform the editor of the Press
that the 'spoils system" begai,
some time back. Among the first
acts of the Carter Administration
was the removal of several persons
from the positions to which they had
been appointed by the former Minis
try. Having myself been one of the
parties in question, l may be pre-
sumed to know whereof I affirm.
The official letter from the Interior
Department calling for my reslgna-
tion is still in my possession, and is
at the service of the editor Of the
Press, should he care to look at it.
No reason for my removal was as
signed or assignable, except that I
was obnoxious to the members of O
ring who had been accustomed to
run a certain department Of this
Government to suit their own pur-
poses, for some years past.
You are at liberty to give my
name to any one who takes sufficient
interest in the matter to ask for it.
One WHO KNOWS.

Wilder's Marine Railway.

Yesterday, by special invitation,
our reporter inspected Mr.. Crandalls
patent gearing in the works connect
ed with the above. The special
points claimed for this patent are the
great strength Of the gears, especial
ly the teeth and the lessened friction.
The form of tooth which Mr.. Grand
all has patented is said to be the
strongest in the world, and is so ar
ranged that the whole of the tooth
is in contact at once, just enough
room beng left for each tooth to
drop out rs the next one takes hold.
At the time of contact the wheels
seem inextricably fixed together, and
the whole looks as If it were one solid
mass, yet the wheel moves on and
teeth succeed one another without
the slightest noise or apparently any
friction. The engines were running
at q piston speed of 1900 feet per
minute, an unusual speed in this
part Of the world. There is no back
lash in the gearing, and we would
call the attention of mill-owners and
planters to the fact that this patent
can be applied to all gearing, and
especially to min-gearing, wherever
strength is an absolute necessity.
The machinery is now being tried to
get it into working order, and the
whole Of the works are expected to be
in full working order when the cradle
is completed, probably about Janu-
ary. The parts of the machine were
constructed by q. Forester & Co. Of
Liverpool, from Mr.. CrandalPs
drawings. Since April the water lot
has been filed in, the buildings and
machinery set up and two sections
Of track finished, which, considering
the short time is remarkably quick
work.
When the whole is complete the
track will extend go feet from the
engine house into the harbor, and
end in 33 feet of water. The capa-
city of the work is estimated as at
least capable Of taking q vessel Of
800 tons and ballast. The track
is constructed on the arc Of q circle
and the cradle is planned that ves-
sci will sit perfectly level on it and
remain in the same position; in
twenty minutes from the time she
grounds on the cradle the workmen
will be able to work on her out Of
water. The keel blocks of the cradle
are SO arranged that man carrying
plank on his shoulder can walk
right under the bilge. A platform
goes round the cradle 8 feet wide
and about 20 feet above the bottom
from which the bilge blocks are
operated, and the vessel moved into
any convenient position. The whole
Of these can be shifted in ten min
utes by one man. The peculiar fea-
ture Of the bilge blocks is that they
can be let down and replaced with
the greatest ease by knuckle Joint,
another Of Mr.. Crandalps patents.
This is the twenty-third dock built
under Mr.. Crandall'ssupervision, and
is, on his own statement, far ahead of
any of the rest "There is no
other in America, Of similar capacity
as good as it."
Great credit 10 due to Mr.. Wilder
for having secured the services OF 80
able man as Mr.. Crandall to super
wise this important work. Mr..
Tucker also deserves great credit
for his share Of tie work.
We would call the attention of

been successfully negotiated, and
that Mr.. Spreckels had agreed to

The Decline OF Schooling.


AT the recent meeting of the New York
State Teachers Association, the report
of the Standing Committee on the Con-
dition OF Education showed that, not
withstanding the steady increase in the
population OF our State, the number of
children in daily attendance upon the
public schools is declining. The de-
crease was attributed by the Chairman
of the committee To 1.-THE increased de-
mandS made by manufacturing inter-
ests." by which was meant. we pre-
sumo. an increased employment of chill
dren in factories.
The lessening number of children in
school is not peculiar TO New York State
or 20 factory towns. At other teachers
gatherings this summer the same con-
dilion Of things has been noted and va
riouslv commented upon as being more
or less visible throughout the country,
and more or less TO be deplored.
The general feeling seems 10 be that
the schoolmaster is losing his grip. and
that the country is likely to suffer in
consequence. That the schools are or
can he in aay way TO blame for the de-
clining popular interest in schooling.
the school authorities are naturally not
disposed 10 believe; nor does il seem to
occur 10 them 10 think that their appar-
ent loss of influence may really be an
indication OF the spread of ulster views
than formerly prevailed OF what is prop
or for youthful culture
To say that fewer children ..of school
age, in proportion 10 the school popu
lation. are now 10 be found any day in
school than was the rule twenty years
ago. is very far from SAYING that proper
tionally fewer children are being proper
" educated now The legal school
age begins in this Stale at three years.
Formerly the custom was TO send little
hess and girls three and four years old
Ia the public school; and such is largely
the custom still among the poorer class
es. With wcll-to-ic-people. we are
happy 10 believe. the sending of such
small children to school is becoming
nore and more the exception. The
growing feeling is that. even when the
school house j. kept in a condition sam
i.arily Ill for the reception of infants

The mine crops ont . mountain of ore. In places the ledg, has been cut by the action of water anD the elements into perpendicular cliffs 4t feet high, composed entirely of ore. The croppings can be traced 5000 feet, and are of q width varying from 50 {. lOO feet. A spur runs off from the man ledge, commencing about the center 0 the crOppings at an angle of 45 degrees which can be traced 2.000 feet, and l. from 10 to 20 feet in width.

Fatal Accident.


 Information was brought to this place yesterday tO the effect that George E. Nmtcher. most esumable young man, well-known and universally liked in thIs section, had been killed by an accident iu the Russell mine, near DragOOn Summit. As near as can be ascertained, the sad accident happened as follows: The company Iad just got tue holstlDg works completed at 1he. Russell nine with the exception of q proper spllce Jn the wire cable which was run lu the cage. In order to test the running capacity of the cage the engineer made a temporary hitch If the cable to the cage, which ne sent down the incline once, after which he had the car put upon the cage to see if t would cu down and clear Ght tsmJers- There We're several ssasnd rng around watching the trials, and ,mOng the number MT. Whitcher, who with the carpenter, stepped upon the stage n front of the ear just ss the engineer made an effort to lower 1t. The engine nad stopped on the center and did not start as expected. When 1t did go 1t went with Jerk, which, with the added weight of the two men, caused the fast snIng of the cable to give way, letting he car plunge madly down the incline, which has an angle of about fifty degrees. The carpenter fell off at the second set 1f timbers and escaped with a few bruises, but the less fortunate man went dong down about half the length of the incline, and when the cage jumped the track and pitched him
