DEFEAT OF THE AMENDMENTS.
The previols question was ordered on the
Finn Civil Service amendment. and it was lost
by 81 noes to 45 ayes.
Mr. Davidson's amendment providing for re-
ferring the question TO the people. was called up
and lost by vote of SO noes to II ayes.
Amendments were offered by Messrs. Green
and Butts providing for change in the mat
ter Of judging Of the efficiency of teachers but
both were lost by viva votes.
. The bill advanced to third reading on
motion of Mr. OGrady.
A motion to recommit the bill for hearing
was made by Mr.. Stanchfed. who then began his
speech In opposition. The BILL ne said, had been
made toy OF by the Legislature until little
OF Its original semblance left. In 1853 the
present admirable school system had been in
ettuted and since that time there had been no
school quarrels of moment In YORK CITY.
The Legislature proposed to change this system
that had been in vogue for years. BY the terms
OF the bill the inspectors under ii could be
named from any place in the state.
AT the request of Mr.. O'Grady. Mr.. Stanchheld
gave way. Then NJ. OGrady declared that
what Mr.. Stanchfeld had said was absolutely
false.
when the leader of me majority arises here
and states that what have stated is falsehood,
II Is unfair, it Is hardly within the line of ques-
tion," said Mr.. Stanchfeld.
Mr.. OGrady said that he did not mean that
Mr.. Stanchheld had told a falsehood. but he did
believe that the gentleman had not read the Com
promise OIL. as ne ndd stated tnat the Dill con-
ta!ned something that it did not.
MRS. LAUTERBACHs LETTER.
Mr. Stanchield then continued his argument,
waving aloft letter. Il hold in my hand he
said "a letter from Mrs. Edward Lauterbach,
Of New-York. / would not bring this lady's
name into the argument, unless l had her con-
sent which have. This letter asks me to make
one last appeal against the bill. reterate the
statement that have Mrs. Lauterbach's con-
sent to use her name She has been up here
ever since we began this year 10 sit around
this circle. and her presence here has been
against aristocracy and for the masses" Ap-
plause from the Democratic side of the HouSe.)
Mr. OGrady then made his fersid speech, and
the previous question was ordered. The ques-
ton required upon Mr. Stanchfeds motion to
recommit the bill to the Cities Committee. Just
as the clerk had finished half Of the roll. Mr.
Stanchfield arose to question or privilege.
He then read the following telegram:
ITO the Leader of the Assembly.
IF you pass the Compromise School DILL l
guarantee the death CT the Republican party.
GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN"
The roll proceeded amid laughter and ap-
plause, and the motion TO recommit was lost
by a vote Of 10 nays to AZ yeas.
The bill then passed by vote OF ~
