DiscusSing the Continuance OF the
schools During July-The Arrange
ment of Teachers for the Coming
Year.
The Board of Education held lengthy
and important meeting last night, Cap
tain G. \. Mercer in the chair.
The arrangement of teachers for the
coming year was discussed. The entire
corps was reelected, and will be continued
next year as at present. Arrangements
were also made for the appointment OF
two additional teachers in the East
Broad street colored sen90I. Tue
Amendment of Pauline Allen was
announced. and the Superintendent was
authorized to call for an examination OF
applicants for the remaining position.
The matter of continuing the schools
during the month Of July was also dis
cussed. and the Board authorized the
Committee on Finance to consider the
feasibility of such continuation and the
extension of the school year to cor
respond with the arrangement existing
prlOr TO the change made in 1872.
1t is probable that the schools this
year will continue at least to
the middle. and if the fund
will permit until the end of July. This
will restore the calendar to its former
arrangement. sand viii meet with the ap-
prevail of a large number of citizens who
have urged that the long vacation under
the present arrangement is unsatisfactory
and exerts an i'll influence upon the pu-
pills. The change. in the event it is made,
will in no way affect the graduation eX-
aminatiOns or exercises. These eXaml-
nations are now in progress, and the
graduation will take place on the 22d.
The examinations for promotion will, how
ever, be deferred until the close Of the
term.

Editor NorRing NeecS: Allow me space
in your columns for this, another state
ment in regard to the river cotton. -.
NJ has propounded six questions, some
of which do not think refer to facts, and
therefore / cannot answer them. As 10
the others, the answer can be found IN
my communication in your issue Of the
4th instant. will, therefore, proceed TO
give other facts. the correctness of which
-. N" or anyone else in the
city can inform himself by in-
quiry: First. The United States law
regulating steamboat navigation prohib-
its the carrying of cotton not fully COW
cred, etc. Second. One of the officers Of
the custom house. whose duty it is to see
to these matters. about two years ago
gave notice to the agents and masters of
all the steamers running 10 savannah, az
fected by this law, that the law would be
enforced. The penalty is $40 per bale on
every such hale carried by such steamer.
The commission merchants of savannah
doing business along the line of the river
can remember that there was a delay In
getting some of the cotton which was not
properly covered, and which had 10 be
putin such condition before ii could be
taken by the boats. Every one who has
seen this Augusta cotton knows full well
that not one bale is in condition TO be taken
under this law. If 81. N" thinks that
the boats can afford to take this cotton,
put in side strips, patch sample holes,
sew up headings, transport, pay wharf
age and transfers ito say nothing about
the very favorable rates of insurance he
inquiries about, all for 30 cents per bale,
he will have to get up stock boats, so that
the managers will feel interested only 10
the amount of their salaries until the
Sheriff relieves them OF their positions, as
has been the case with the river boats
since the war; nearly every stakeholder
in them losing his money, except those
owning stock in five OF the boats, which
were burned while carrying this same
through cotton. The last was the Whe-
less, which had over five hundred
bales of this through cotton and
between thirty and forty bales
of way cotton, This, l think, was the
last taken of this through cotton, and was
likely the cause of the notice being given,
as above stated, that the law would be
enforced. There has not been single
boat burned. to the writer's knowledge,
on the river, which was engaged in trans
porting way cotton.
If insurance companies can take such
extra hazardous risks at such very low
rates as 81. NJ inquiries about, planters
and country merchants should not be
charged y per cent. on their cotton in
fire-prOOf warehouses in the city, with
well organized fire departments. This
controversy, if pressed, may develop
many things interesting to those who
have not so far engaged in it, on both
sides-not only the shipper, the cotton
men, the producer, but the manufacturer.
