In tha second loninr Princeton played on tb evidently intending- to keep the score sown and win th ram by tb lead already obtained. -The ball went unto Prinoetpn'a rol at' n.

"i lascaaiifcg OiPARTiffjrT, 1 1: 1, To Ih4 tdftor of th dniin Adytrttii: Bib; I a oertalbly thankful 'Ui yoa for the benefit of I ne doubt' which ydu tbe matter certain removals in ttjls dapartment. I do not care to appear aey' ekplantioa the cause which (led to this result, but at ti earn time am perfectly wlllln that the shall atate the iasa from my tand-pofut, if Jt is willing do so. Ih tb firm place, then, owipif to Tarious circumstances not necessary to axplaln. I found mylf earrris threa pr four mort clerks than tie work of tbe parUneDt required. Ko one can pn publi grounds, and noiother objection from the publio Is valid; to a reductjou of tb tore by thyt numbers Nor caio any pop deny to me as the official bead bf the department) the right of selection la maklne that reduction.

In tbe aecond place, two men who bad been employed for a year paat on special work had completed tbe work upon which thev were thus employed. 1 must either drop them or some other two-. For reasons satisfactory to m. and wbich would bare! been satisfactory tb any other man in: my position. I preferred to keep tbem and let the others go.

In the third place, three of the men discharged bad made themaelvea ostentatiously offensive by their general ooaduot, and as to them it wan eimoly a question whetuer I would accept Insult or assert my authority. Whatever any' one else may think or sav. tbe wa was clear to me-and 1 the r-ignt men were uiscnargea-. 'i ne places or root cave been filled. No more appointments win be made on account ol these discharges.

Public reasons there bas been a reduction of fouimen in tb fore employed. If there- i any ufitiuittn to attach to this it Is that th removAls were not ooner made, or that tbe extra meafwere allowed to accumulate. But 1 moat people will readily understand why tr is easier to take men on than' It Is to let them go. Mo maa haa been removed because cevoted for Judge Fol-ger. nor even becausebe was in favor of Jude Folger'a Domination.

The removals bare been for the reasona stated. They have been made by me oft my responsibility aa a publio officer, and I take the responsibility. I affirm that any maa would bave been less than a man who under the aame circumstances would have differently. 1 flatter myself that even friend of tbe Civil Service Heform Association would have found their theories badly haltered in any attempt to apply them to a portion of these partioular clerks. Nor do I underhand that tha doctrine of this association requires that inv public officer shall be forced to retain clerks who take pains to make therni-elvea ostentatiously ohnoxioua.

Certainly no business man would do it. and I believe tbat the central claim is that only business methods shall be applied. These removals have been made, then, on the following ground: .1. It was heeded to reduce tke force. 8.

A prefereni to retain two men whose work was completed tn place of two men whose work not completed. 8. Indispus'Lipa to indorse bv retention men who were openlyyhe department disrespectful and abusive in ty jffeirfnientof their official superiors. This Is ml w- Vaiibmit to ixu and your read-era, notdoiA Cihjjf, both youiand toey will see I have donenSv "gl Of course; no one beyond me san do tue details and impelling Circumstances rju case. 1 know ail about It.

The public knows Nothing abopt it. and must accept or reject, according to Its own best judumeot, the action which has been taken. I repeat, none of these, men. have removed becaase they voted fur Folgsr. pivoted for bim myself, and with hearty good wilt and you may bet ynnr bottom dollar that th time is near at hand when 1 hall be among yoa bbce araln a the effect and consequence of tbat vote.

My successor will be a man who did not Tote for Folger. Very truly youra.de.; VCHA1U.ES O. FA1RMAJJ. A "TALK WlTir nUFUS HATCH YAXDEBBlLf'S VISTAKE-4-A FISA5CIAL RKt'- oLTJT103t COMIXO; Chicago, Fov, 18. Rufus Hatch was pnd by an Intervie wer quite 111 at bU room In the Palmer House to-day.

Three 1- arrests were toad for toayei-y. 8 for smuggling, 3 for taking illegal lee.

for mbezzlement. and 1 forperjury. Of the eases tried 133 parsons were sentcrtved to irnbrisonmeut. 37 1 were acquitted, SI weredis-charged for different causes, escaped, and the cases of tbe others are pending. Tbe total tinea assessed amount to S10.CC4.

Of the total arreata not less than 24 persons had been previously arrested. Tbe total amount' oi the counterfeit money cap-tuned and secured during tbe your. 51. The representative! value of counterfeit money is greatly enhanced by the number of money plaque peourd. Tbe suppression of these claques, aome of which are of perfect workmanship, ia regarded as of great importance.

During tbe year the division investigated S6 cases of alleged frahd in back pay and Jxfnuty In the the Cities ot New-York and Brooklyn, and 8 in other districts. Th total, disbursement for the year were S7. Fees yyere received from United States Marshals to tha'amount of I'S, and the rewards amountedTo $1.54 90.

yi he report states that nfcver until tbe past year, since the -introductionof a national paper currency, bas a year parted without the appearance of isome new coutuerlelt note on tbe '1 reasury or natiuual bank isfjes, but tbat not one such made itsiuppearaoce (hiring the past- fiscal year. This is partly expWned by the fact tbat executive eiem-ency has not opened tbe doors of tbe penitentiaries to the 11 kitted counterfeiter confined there; also, to th croae surveillance exercised by the division over tfiose who have served out their sentences and artfiow at liberty, lhe chief of the division statea inquiry and observation bave convinced bim tbe law of 1876. requiring ad disbursing tuM- cers of the United States and national bank officers to brand all counterfeits tbat come into tbeitv possession is practically nullified. Tbe reason given by bank officers for non-compliance with thia law is because to brand a counterfeit note offends a depositor; none will do it unless all bankers do It. A Receiving Teller of a Western bank conversing on this subject recently stated that he bad received the same counterfeit one-hundred dollar note from four different depositors in one week, retnfrning It each time.

This conduct explains why so many counterfeits remain in circulation. Counterfeiting of tb trade and Bland dollars, also the subsidiary silver coins. Is increasing largely, and the difficulties attending the detection of parties circulating these spurious coins are year by yar increasing, owing to the close attention paid by the counterfeiter to the mixing of bis met-alsAQd tbe plating of the olo.

A comcmnlcatlon was received from the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor in New-York attention to tbe fiithv condition of the streets, and also complaining that Hunter Point is still offensive to tbe sense. The Attorney-General, as Chulnuau of the "-Law Committee, ad-vied that the local authorities of New-York be held responsible for the street and cleaning, but that as to the Governor's orders for the abate-" mentand prevention of the nuisances at Hunter's Point, orders would necessarily -continue in force until all of them are overcome.

Therefore, it will be expedient- for the State Board to keep uo any necessary inquisition and notification la the offending district, 3 The Sanitary Committee reported that since the last quarterly meeting 10 SHmplesof drinking-water have been examined by the Publio Analyst, at tbe request of tbe local authorities, most of which were found to be unwholesome.

Of 6 samples purchased In Syracuse one only was up to the standard. Of 10 samples purchased in Rome all were fonnd to be bad. Of 145 samples purchased at 123 stores In Brooklyn only 5 were up to the required" standard. Twenty-two samples emitted combustible vapors at the ordinary temperature. J.

These facts show ns that In- France, a well a here, women are beginning to ce tbat they bave a publio duty aua raponsioiiiiy regarding me training or the young. Tbey give also another indication that republican France Is taking bold of the educational problem in earnest. That republic has statesmen to wbom It has been given to see that in order to preserve the repuullo the children must be educated, and that lu schools free from ecclesiastical control. Thus, within a short time, high schools lor nave oeen established, elementary school bar been made free, attendance on tbem compul se ry, ana- sectarian control of them forbidden. 1 be authorities bave even gone a step In advance ot some portion of our own country in forbidding th iufilotion of corporal punish- uieut uj veacaers.

mere are enlightened communities in our own country where Le might learn a better method of maintaining blmsetf "boas'" in the school-room, as be expresses It. than by break- ui ruiera over me neaus 01 nis pupus. As many of the readers of Tats Tiars know, there is an institution in France eailed the "ctocDe." or maternal school. These schools are very dif-terent from ours of primary grade or even from the kindergarten. They were originally only places of shelter, where very yonng children of the laboring daises were received and cared for curing ine day whilejhelr mother were at work.

Until recently tbe Department of Edueation took no cognizance of them, and that tt bas now done so nas resulted ojreotiy rrom the efforts or benevo lent women in ranee maternal women. Ilk Mme. Carpen tier, who bas labored and written much in the interest of the poor children of the creche. Mile; Lq-zlHon. a trained teacher, became acquainted with Mme.

Carpentier, and tnrougn her influence soon an intense interest in these refuges for Infanta bhe visited many of them, noted their defecta and abuses, and reported what ahe learned to tbe Ministry, who responded by assuming control of all such schools, organizing a system qt instruction lor tbem, and appointing, her Inspector General, or as we wouia say. (superintendent. Phe la one of eight Indies who bold a similar office under tbe trench Ministry of Kducatlon. ia i860 there were in France 4.V55 maternal wbools. and their number la steadily increasing.

They received 603.014 children during tbat year, ail but about lOO.OOu of them being free of charge. The course of study arranged for these schools, in ac cordance with the auvice of their Inspector, ia intended to imitate' as closely as possible the processes of education adopted by an intelligent and Unvoted mother. Jn the words of tbe decree, ther are To give to children under the school ace the care and attention wbich their physical, id eventual, and moral development require, and preDare (hem to receive instruction in primary schools." A full description of maternal school an if of the IIJUI1CILICU1S ICtOIUlUK mem Will appear in a bulletin which being prepared and will soon be Issued by the United Lctea Bureau ot ttfricatioo. i These French studetts of education have already made an extensive tour- throughout the country, aud will Visit New-York.

Of kibdergurten and kitchen gardeua she will find- a few. hut I fear cot many maternal schools, although tbe need lor Just such instrumentalities I as greet in New-York as anywhere in the world; it would be fortunate if this compliment which France-pays us in studying our systems of education should induce us to consider our own imperfection and endeavor to improve.

And it would be a thing for angels to rejoice over if some large-hearted maternal woman, having leisure and meatie, or a number of auch uniting their labor and means, should do for New-York a work similar to that which Mile. I-oizuion has done for France, sir. Charles Ls F-raoe and others who have been engaged in teaching and helping tbe poorest daa of children in New-York long ago saw tbe need lor such schools. The greatest obstacle tber found to regular attendance was that the older children had to stay at home every few days to "mind the baby' while the mother went out to'worll. There tre many thousands of such children from 1 to 5 year bid in your great City to whom the Jtind of care and training that ts given by an Intelligent and devoted mother would be a blessed boon, and perhaps free maternal schools would do as-much toward securing a large pnblio school attendance as the compulsory law.
