The Pvbttc School System of the State The Ap plicability of the Law of 18C5 to PvMe Schools of Baltimore City. The City Counsellor, Wm. Trice, and C. L. L.

Leary, Citv Solicitor, have furnished the City Council. with their lengthy legal opinion, as to the power, extent and applicability of each article and section of the law of 1865, providing for a uniform system of public schools in this State, that relates directly cr indirectly to the city of Baltimore, of which the following is an The opinion states that the 3d section of the 8th article of the newjConstitntion of Maryland, after providing for the appointment, the compensation and tenure of office of the School Commissioners in each county, delares "that the School Commissioners of Baltimore city shall remain as at present constituted, and shall be appointed as at present by the Mayor and City council of Baltimore, subject to such alterationsand amendments as may be made from time to time bv the Cieneral Assembly or the said Mavor and'City Council." We think that this clause of the Constitution recognizes the existence and organization at tbe time of its adoption of a separate and distinct system of public schools in aud for the city of Baltimore; and in the costruction and application of the various provisions of the act of Astembly, this clause of the Constitution must be kept constantly in view. The first section of the law adopts the important principle of free instruction. And by section 1, chapter 0. title 2, it is declared that "all white youths between the ages of six and nineteen years are entitled to free instruction in anv of the public schools of the State.

Thes provisions aie applicable to the State at large. Chapter 1 of title 8, relating to" the "examination ot teachers and authorizing the State Superintendent, to revise the action of the presidents of the respective Boards of Commissioners in the examination of teachers, and to annul the certificate of qualification, ia applicable to the city of Baltimore. The appointment of School Commissioners, their duties and term of service are fixed by chapter 4, title 1, of the Act of Assembly. Keeping in view the exposition we have given of the Constitutional provision in regard to the school system in Baltimore city, and especially the constant use of the words "count "Count Commissioners," "school of the county," and more especially to the provision made in the third clause of the second section of this chapter for an application in the contingency therein mentioned" -Judge of the Circuit Court' for the the writ of mandamus, we conclude that this chapter is inapplicable to the city of Baltimore. For the same reason we believe that chapters 1 and 2 of title 2 relating to school district meetings and school-houses," are inapplicable to Baltimore city, with the exception of the 4th section of the latter chapter, providing for the punishment of persons who shall injure or disfigure school property, and vesting the Criminal Court of Baltimore" city with jurisdiction when the offence is committed in said city.

Chapters 5 6. title 2. relating to the em-p'ojnient and duties of teachers and to the $rov-ernmenr of pupils in the schools, are applicable to the city Baltimore. By section 7, chapters, title. 1.

"The State Board of Education shall make such contracts fortext books, for tlie use of the schools established by this act. as their judgment thev may deem advisable." The first section of chapter 7. title i. declares, that "to secure harnionv in the system cf public instruction, and to enable children moving from one county to another to pursue tln ir studies without interruption. there shall be a uniform series of text books used in aii tbe schools of the State organized under this The provisions of these two sections are ex-pressly'limited in their operations to the schools "established by" and under" this act: one of the objects to be accomplished is to promote the convenience of children moving from one county to another: and if we are correct in asciibing'to the framers of the Consiitu- tion.

as hereiiibefore an intention to recognize a separate and distinct school system as existing and organized in Baltimore city prior to. nr.d at the time of its adoption, then we coiKlr.de that the chapter .7, relating to text book-, is inoperative iu the city of Baltimore. The fact is not to be overlooked that the city of Baltimore i- greatly- in advance of the coun-tie of the State in the important matter of puh'ie iristmi.tion: and it to infer that neither the Convention nor the Legislature intended to subject her to the embarrassments of repudiating a cherished and approved system, and of comment ii.gr a new one. or to compel her to cdoj the system of the State iu all its details, until the cottnties had made such advances as would render the two systems capable of being blo ck d. The organization ef the IF.i'h Schools is nro-- ided for by ih? 8th chapter oi title 2.

With the exception of the last clause of the first section, which authorizes the Board of School Commissioners to fix the nvntler of hmh schools in the city of Baltimore, and the ninth section, which provides for military instruction iu the High we aeein this chapter inoperative ia f. uuuimore- city, lor tue reason, that the hrst sec- ticn confines its operation to "each and that the words "city of Baltimore" were stricken' frcm the iginal bill. Chapter 1 of title 3. relating to the examination of teachers; chapter 4. title 3.

providing for the establishment and organization of a State Normal School, pud the chanter relatinrr to the insmiciion of colored are applicable to tbe city of Baltimore, while chapters and 3 of of title 3. providing for Teachers' Associations nd Teachers' Institutes, seem to have been exclusively for the several counties of th i a te. That pait of the act of assembly provMtn? '-sources of income," fixing tiie rate of -nrratioti. and determining the mode by which the revenue raised for school purposes shall be apportioned and -distributed, is of importance to the people and corporate authorities of the citv of Baltimore. By section of the chapter entitled Source.

of It-ccne." the Comptroller of the State is required to certify to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the amount of the Staie school tax li ritd in each county and the city of Baltimore, which is immediately thereafter to lie apportioned by tec Superintendent "among the several counties and lie city of piojxii tioit ioihvir rer-edii 2x)mfatioi9 beticeen the oges of fie iuauy and by section 7 the Comptroller is required to apportion the amount of school tax rr-cc-irvJ by the Treasurer arnongthe several couniie- and the city of Baltimore inpro-portion to the amount apportioned to each by the State Superintendent, which is to be paid over by the Treasurer to the several counties and the city of Baltimore. The question here arises. "How is the population between five and twenty years to be This question is argued bv the legsl advisers of the city, who contend that i-there is undoubtedly a great inequality to the disadvantage of Baltimore in liasimr the apportionment upon the census of 1STJ0. still, as that basis existed, and as the Legistature has not seen fit to nro- vide any other, the presumption isa fair one that tney intended to reter hotn the city and the counties to tbe last national census for the ascertainment of their respective numbers." Thev further say that the Legislature will doubtless remedy the evil, and "iu the meantime we think that the sense of justice of the State Superinten- dent may be confidently relied on to lesson the inequality indicated, by making an equitable allowance for thegieat increase of numbers within the city." Bv the 7th section of the same chapter, entitled "sources of income," it is provided in the last clause thereof "that no payment of said tax shall be made to any county or the city of Baltimore, until after the" organization of tlie several Boards of School Commissioners, on the second Tuesday of uly, eighteeen hundred and sixty-five." In view of the clause of the new tittion herebeforc quoted, which declares that "the School Commissioners of Baltimore city shall remain as at present constituted." We are of the opinion that no neccssitv existed for a reorganization of the Board of Commissioners of this city at the date above mentioned, and therefore that a failure to' reorganize as aforesaid could furnish no valid objection to the payment of the city's proportion of the school tax. In our construction of this law, wre have endeavored to keep in view tha requirements of 12th section oi the first article of the Code of Public General LaM the State, which provides that "the ord county" shall be construed to include the city of Baltimore, unless such construction would be unreasonable." while at' the same time we have sought to give effect to the intention of the Legislature as exhibited and ascertained by careful consideration of the entire enactment." Desperate Assault.

Capt. Gauster, formerly a captain in the Fifth Maryland regiment, but at present employed as a salesman an extensi-ve clothing house in this city, yesterday paid a visit to Camp Bradford, where the regiment was being paid off. As soon as he was recognized by the men they commenced a furions attack upon him, it is supposed from some real or imaginary injury done them whilst the captain was in the service.

General Terry (through General Mann) refused, for specified reasons. Under date of September 1st General Wise has written a long letter to Gen.

Grant, forwarded through General Terry. He replies in succession to the points made in the letter; of refusal, and after declaring that he never "abandoned his home" except in going to camp to defend it against invasion, with the full determination to return to it as soon as the chances of war should permit; he says, "I found no new home for my family; they were simply refugees from the old." Gen. Wise then writes as follows: "If General Terry was governed by earnest aud honest convictions of duty, of right and authority in all he did so was I. If he was a patriot so was I. If he gave proof of his devotion iso did I.

It is dangerous to either adopt the dogmas of treason and rebellion against the other, alternating in domination they have done so often alreadv in our history. Each might shoot and hang the other by turns in the course of half a centurv. "If General Terry believed in consolidation.

The coroner's jury in the case of the locomotive explosion near Duncan-non. by which three employees were killed, repaired to the scene of the catastrophe on Wednesday afternoon, for the'puvpose of viewing the wreck, and. if possible, ascertain such facts as would develop the real cause of the explosion.

Tbe HarHsburg Telegraph says: 1 A more complete, thorough, and irreparable destruction of a locomotive "could not powsibly-have been made. Bars of iron, which formed portions of the machinery of the locomotive, were broken and twisted in all imaginary shapes. The wood work was scattered into countless splinters, the miming gears torn asunder, and the boiler, itself, rent into shreds resembling the torn edges of rotten cloth when subject to malicious destruction. The result of the coroner's inquest was to elicit a verdict to the effect that the iron in the boiler of the locomotive exploded was defective and unfit for use, and that the inspector of locomotives in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at "Altoona, was responsible for the disaster, and should at once be discharged.

At the meeting of wool manufactures in Philadelphia, on Wednesday, a permaucnt organization was effected by electing G. G.

It is understood that about $1,400,000 of these claims are favorably considered and a draft will be immediately drawn in favor of the State for about $300,000.

There was again a large crowd at the Executive Mansion to-day, nearly all of whom were pardon-seekers, incl uding Miles Taylor, formerly a rcpresentatitive in Congress from Louisiana.

Some of them had been standing at the door for at least five hours waiting for admission, but had not been gratified up to 3 o'clock. The President, in the interval of public business, receives a few only of the visitors. To have opened tbe door of his office to all comers at once, with the tisermoiuctcr indicating about 90 degrees, wottldi have exposed him to the risk of suffocation. pardons were yesterday granted by the President, and some cf them inipatientlv repaired to tbe State department to obtain the Secretary's tdgnature to the documents.
