ers themselves. In this eountrT any vocation is judged by the value it piits on itself. Teachers, as a rule, are too sycophantic. Thero is something in the way they work rather than in their work itself, as we prefer to believewhich tends to a cringing, fearsome, currying for favor from those whom they call "patrons." By the way, "patrons" ought to be an anomaly in a Republic. Yet teachers, dry goods sellers and quack journalists are always talking of their "patrons," as if conscious of inferiority, and desirous of getting somebody to notice them.

It isa term inconsistent with self respect in a free country. Anybody who has anything to sell teaching or potatoes and who charges fairly and gives a good article, confers as much obligation on him to whom he disposes of it as the latter does on the seller. So there Is no patronage about it. In old times the pedagogue was the most proud, erect, considerable man in the town. sonable, but it does not run everywhere.

The hoggishness of the railroads should be Brooklyn's opportunity. Only let A. T. Stewart be given open sesame to Brooklyn, and at the city terminus of his road a market would at once spring up. He could make that termiuus at the Wallabout region, where nature meant it to be.

Lot our Congressmen coax that land from the Government back to Brooklyn, while local sentiment here re opens our limits to steam. Colored Boys in White Schools. An application made to the Supreme Court for a mandamus, to compel Public School No. 85 to receive a colored boy, brings that vexed question up again. We have no desire to seem to pass upon this particular case which has features of its own unconnected with tho general question.

As a rule however such applications are mado merely to provoke animosities and stir up trouble. They are seldom who had a row with Samuel Zeaton, a Richardson man, and struok him on the forehead. Tho officers who made the arrest preferred a charge against both parties, but Captain MoKcllar on investigating the affair found that McDonald was to blame and locked him up. Some trouble was also canted by Captain John Hall voting. It was claimed that he had been dispossessed by his landlord and now lived in Schernierhorn Btreet, and consequently out of the ward.

He said he still had charge of his house in the Twenty second Ward, and was on the roll book of the Republican Association, so the Richardson men took his vote. Beside this, nothing but the ordinary excitement of a contested primary occurred. CROKEZVS CASE. The motion to Admit Him to Bail. The New York Oyer and Terminer Court was opened at toy: o'clook yesterday, by Judge Barrett.

Before the other business woe taken up, his Honor informed Mr Clinton, Coroner Croker's counsel, that he was not prepared to give his decision on the motion to admit the accused to bail, but would try to have it ready for Wednesday morning. Mr. Clinton We now that ou peremptorily set down the case for to morrow morning. Under the circumstances, we think we are entitled to an immediate trial. The District Attorney ougbt to be ready, the witnesses have all testified before the coroner, ond the transaction is a recent one.

Assistant District Attorney Rollins remarked that this was a very unusual application. He never knew of a Court oxerclsing its power of compelling the Dlstriot Attorney to try a case next day. There was nothing in (lie caso to call for such extraordinary haste. There was no slicn extreme urgency, and the District Attorney would probably be ready next week.

Captain Crafts, Sergeants Carpenter and Corr and eight policemen were present by orders from Headquarters. Yet there was a disturbance, which continued until the polls were closed, when John Devlin called on the officials above named to "see that all was quiet whon the ballots were counted." The disturbance even then waa not stopped, but was kept up in a neighboring saloon.

This ward is on tho confines of the Navy Yard, ond is the place where "Dave" Stewart resides. John Devlin of whisky fame has a habitation within its precinctB and is known as well thero as "round the Vard." Less than a year ago Mr. Edward Fry, assisted by Mr. Daniel Farrell, John It. Kane and other "Young Republicans" of the ward, organized against Mr.

"Dave." The result was that at tho important primary last Fall Mr. Stewart was defeated. Not discomfited by this overthrow, Sfr. Stewart prepared himself for tho next fight. It came off hist night in the election of delegates to the General Committee and other important trusts, when the Stuart ticket, so called, was elected by a small majority.

It is but just to soy, however, that while the successful ticket was stigmatized by its adversaries as the handiwork of "Dave," the gentlemen most prominent on it repudiated aU connection with that worthy, and asked for support simply because they were Republicans, competent to represent the Republican voters of the ward. Accompanied by two Sergeants and eight men, Captain Crafts entered the place. At the top of the stairs leading to the hall were one of John Devlin's men and a young man who had objected to his voting in the Seventh Ward, as he knew that he resided in the Fifth. Quite a row was on foot between these young political worthies. This misunderstanding being Bottled, tho officers, as they marched to tho front of the room whero the ballot box was placed, tettled a couple of similar difficulties, and looked about to see that all was quiet.

Mr. Devlin recognized tho Captain, and presuming on the recognition, Bpoke aloud bis opinions of those who voted tho ticket, against whloh he said hie friends were arraigned. Notwithstanding that some of the Young Republicans objected to tho police and asked why they did not preserve order. Devlin yelled, and finally, by his screams, compelled Captain Crafts to request his men to force the crowd back in order that thoso from Police Headquarters who desired, might have their say with the inspectors. Ex AsBemblyroan Bcrrl was present.

At Ins suggestion and that of Mr. FarroU, the majority retired in deference to the wishes of Mr. Devlin, the police and their batons. Thirteenth Ward. In the Thirteenth Ward a rather strong and unexpected opposition to tho regular ticket was developed.

Aid. Strong took it into his head to run a ticket against Assessor Wil30n, Aid. Ray and John P. 8hort. It was rather late in the field and, as a consequence, was dofeatod by a majority of 193 to 72.

Thero were no Supervisors ond the three Inspectors, Messrs, E. S. Hennessey, Geo. W. Lafght and Jamoe A.

Brows counted the ballots openly. Fourteenth Ward. The polls opened in the fighting Fourteenth" at 3 P. and from that time until 9 o'clock thero was more or less wrangling between the contending factions. The Progressive Association, or Venus party, ran the regular ticket.

For tho first time In nearly fifteen years the Maddox party failed to put in an appearance A recent defoction in their rankB virtually broke Sam's backbone, and the result was that he ran no ticket, preferring to vote for his old time enemy, Mr. Venus, ond put the latest "seceders" in a hole. In this opposition, too, things were so badly mixed that it was hard to know which was which. The opposition ww led by John H. Diercks, late a candidate for Commissioner of Charities, and Henry W.

Hughes, an Excise They put ono of the Maddox mon at the head of the ticket for President, Walter Jones, and another for delegate to the General Committee, Matthew Fagan. For minor positions the Venus party were also on the ticket. Each ticket is supposed tj represent the Dutcher and Jourdan Inter eat. Things progressed quietly until about seven o'clock, when Bernard Murrian had an altercation with Michael Bigney, and blows ensued; Bernard has got but one arm, but he used that vigorously until an officer arrested him mnid terrjgo cheers and hlssoa. Alter this much growling was indulged in, buf noTrtows were struck.

When the polls closed at nine o'olock thore wob a strong posse of police present. The three Inspectors and the two Supervisors were supposed to be in the interest of the Dlorcks faction. At the close some of the Venus men called ont for a fair count, and Supervisor Christopher Fagan answered the demand by saying "Here, boys, is the box, you can count for yourselves." Suiting the action to the words he pitched the ballot box through the window, a vacant pane of the ordinary size iu a four by two foot window, and the Venns party outside caught it up and took it to the rooms of the Progressive Association on Filth and North Seventh Btrects, where they counted the tickets and claimed the vote to be Venus 185 and Diercks 64. The total number of votes cast according to the poll tally was 827, making a discrepancy of 78. This is tho beginning of the end.

Seventeenth Ward. The opposition to Mr. David Williams in this ward did not develop much strength. They claim that they did not intend running a ticket until the last moment, when they found that Mr. Williams selected a few of his friends and made np a ticket without consulting the Republican Association.

It was led by Wil Uam Reid and Charles Kennedy, a strong advocate at the recent election of Mr. Stearns as the temperance candidate for Assembly. Although there were thirty six names on the ticket, they only polled twenty four. At the close of tho polls Mr. Reid requested to be allowed to see the ballots canvassed, but the request was donied.

The total number of votes cast was 155. TJIN'N'EIt SETS VOW THANRSUIVIW, I ROM TO ONK THOUSAND U0I.I,AI13 AT d'ltKAT BAKGAI.VS.

Senator Carl Schurz, of Missouri, lectured last cvsniug at Plymouth Church on the subject of "Educational The lecture was delivered under the auspices of the Vranxlin Literary tfociety, who were at considerable pains and expense to ecoure the presence of tho distinguished Senator. There waa a fair sized audience present, despite the inclement weather, and the lecture was listened to I throughout with the deepest attention and intertRt. At eight o'clock, Senator Schurz ascended the pveacht r'a platform, accompanied by Mr. Wm.

II. Williams, chair man of Lecture Committee of the Societv, vt lu introducing the Senator, said ggS" Ladics A tij pWure of presenting to you luo it ciurcr of ihe evening, is accorded to me as an fllcer of the Franklin Literary Society. I am aware, however, that a formal introduction ia unnecessary, inasmuch as you kuow very well whom you have come to hear; but I may say with truth certainly, and I trust without impropriety, that he is ono whom to honor is to honor ourselves. Every thoughtful citi2en must bo deeply Interested in the subject matter of the lecture, which has born announced, and we may esteem it a great privilege that it la to be considered in our presence this evening by one whose culture aud experience so qualify him to discuss problems of such great importance and interest. In behalf of the Franklin Society and their fellow citizens, I havo great pleasure in welcoming you to this platform.

Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Schurz. As tho Senator camo forward to tho preacher's desk, be was greeted with loud applause. The applause having subsided, he opened HIS LECTURE by saying that ha hopsd his audience had not been accustomed to look upon public lectures as a mere species of light amusement, for if they had he would probably disappoint them. Ho should not Indulge iu any witticisms to make them laugh, or in high Qowu figures of speech, but he should speak seriously of serious things, in a quiet, conversational language. If he had any ambition from some of the remarks he was going to make it was not that tho people should aa away from these remembering any brilliancy of diction or beauty of i pnrase, out omy toe correctness oi me principles lie advocated and the soundness of the advice he gave.

In no country was tho subject of education mot assiduotudy than In the United States and really there waa no country in which it ought to be mora thoroughly understood. It was a common sayiDg that a citizen of a republic Bhould be intelligent, and that without this, republican institutions couia "not wager endure. We wore also In the habit of pointing to a higher order of popular education as a specific for certain evils. When tho question, however, arose as to what waa the best form ol popular education, how few were prepared with any practical idea on the subject. Education should not only be so direct as to store up speciflo things in their minds, but also so as to enablo them to work, and live, and boar themselves in tho world.

Their ancestors had been, perhaps, well enough educated for their day, but what Bulled them did uot suit us, aud consequently the education of modern times should be equal to tho necessities of the generation. The man of to day had to know very much more than his great grandfather knew, and yet tho time for learning appeared to be as brief as iu old times. How, thon, was the time at the disposal of (he new generation to be beat oniploycd? Of course opecinc thlugB had to be learned, but they should lu uble to miy how they were to go ahead with their learning after they had loft the ncbool or the Univcrmly. Tim young mind should receive fire and impulse from early training, fu hia own experience of lu's education in Oer nmny, he had to say that he acquired much knowledge which had since been lost, but ho did not, therefore, consider that bis time was thrown away. lie had learned the discipline ol mind which carried into the busy walks of every day life.

Ho did not vwh to bo understood as holding that fqx. i'illc point weiv of no value. They were. As to the question of training children too young, it had bcou asked, "How are you going to teach a mere child'" It hud been related of John Ktuart Mill that his father had made 1dm learn Orcek at a very early age, ami people held that if young Mill had not been gifted with uu extraordinarily strong mind, he would have been rendered an Idiot hy his early education. It watjunb us rttioaii to hold that tho brain of an American child who could speak German would bo destroyed.

Tho child was apt to learn from tho very earliet duwu of ita veasou, aud could be gradually brought along without strain or ex citemont to learn moro and mure. Purentn should teach tholr chlldron how to see and think, and reproduce that which was seen and thought. That was the first objective point In early education. In Bomo the perceptive faculty was much more de veloied than in others. This could be seen by the excellence in detail of some.

One pornon could look upon a tree and not be able to describe it, because bo was unacquainted with vegetable luws, while another, who had been trained, could tell all about it. A lady could meet another lady in the street, aud, afterward, would bo able jiot alone to tell whut she wore, but also by a singular process of the mind, might be able to correctly cfitluuite the cost of the material. Laughter. It was a pity that po much natural intelligence could not be devoted to butter uses. lratbers and mothers should cultivate the perccptivouoss of the children.

They ahold answer their childish questions in regara to au proper onjecis mat present inemseives. This method of education was mutually beijoficial. Fathers, mothers, brothers, mid sisters, in thus train ing tho infant, also trained their own miuds. The child having been taken out of the first stage, the sonooL age was next conRtdured. The lecturer said that it was cus touiary lu some schools to loach things with big uameH.

Astronomy, mental philosophy aud other text books of ponderous were plueed in the hands of pupils, and, strange to say, the pupil who recited his le.sRon most literally correct, never using any language of hii own, was considered tho hest scholar. The boy or girl forgot all about what cost so much trouble. For ex amnle. there mlnht be a question as to what a cloud was. One boy, on the day of examination, might be able to tell all about it from tho words of the text book.

Another boy might not remember a word of the text, but could teU tho vaporous nature of a cloud. Ask these two, a few days further, the same questions.and it would be found that the specific boy did not know, while the unspecifle boy, although so mo what awkward at first did know. This reminded the lecturer of an anecdote in one of tho works of Goethe, where he introduces a boy so full of learning that he had already forgotten who his own father was laughter, and hif sire, in wrath, sent him to a monastery, where it was not needful to learn anything that was neeful. One of the great obstacles in tho way of educational progress was the mlserahlo pay teachers received. Many accepted the position merely as a makeshift the women until they could get married, aud tho men until they could get into bettor business.

Thero were, however, thousands of conscientious teachers in tho land who appreciated the importance of their calling, followed It as the vocation of their lives, and mado heroic sacrifices. The labor of the teacher waa most miserably paid here. Teaching must he looked upon as a profession and must attract to itself the best available talent, keeping it from getting out of the work. In tho matter of the education of tho female sex, the Senator said we were told that girl? must be ao educated as they may be able and inspired with the desire and ambition to work their way through Ufa alone and independent, not only as teachers, but as lawyers, politicians, members of Congress, 4c. We wero also told that a woman in order to become a good woman must not know too much.

Ab to tho second of these things, he declared himself straightforwardly against It. Woman ougbt to know as much as possible, provided that which she knew, she knew well. Ab to the first of these extremes, something more was to be said. It waa true that the education of girls fdiould he so directed as to enable them in case of necessity to provide for their own sustenance and work their way through life independently and usefully. Therofore, all those vocations that fitted their physical Qud mental constitution should be openod to them without reatrir or hindrance.

fApphmse. Ho could not agree with the more advanced female thinkers of the ago, and, at the riBk of being considered old fogy, he would saytathebclYedJtwas not good mnnan to be alone. CIugiter7j Ho Ji the call of woman to get married. It was In the natural order of things that a man Bhould feel himself destined to become a husband, and if so it was in the natural order of things that a woman ought to feel herself destined to becomn a wife and mother. Any system of education or social order having a tendency to IKDl'OE MEN TO REMAIN BACHELORS, would be condemned as utterly vicious, absurd, Immoral and destructive to society.

We must therefore condemn as equally absurd, equally vicious, immoral and destructive to society, any system of education or any social order calculated to induce young women to remain spinsters. Education ought therefore to be directed to tho end to make mon good husbands, and women good wives and good motherrt. Applause. But it might bo asked, would he have woman simply educated for tho purpose of being a household drudge? Mn all JJn n.vtlsi ha unman rut hf liail nairi. well all the more for her duties as wife and a mother.

Applause. Rome of tho fastidious might find fault with him for saying "ourgirla," but he much preferred the fresh, unsophisticated, noble, blooming, natural girl to the paintod, powdered, and be curied modern yonnglady, Applause. Girl should bn inspired with a desire for a home, and Bhould be taught economy and ordor in its conduct. Tha lecturer declared that one of the ovils of modern society was tho habit of married people boarding in hotels or boarding houses. It was the custom which weakened marital and homo ties, because it removed mutual care, and loft the mother not a queen, but simply a dweller, in her own household.

Every wife ought to bo tho quecu at her own house. Applause. Why, then, was the custom so much Indulged in Because girls were not trained in youth to household duties, and they shrank from them. This was a great error in the early education of the female sex. Borne girls wero led to believe that they were most attractive when they made themselves frames for the exhibition of silk and satin garments.

In answer to the question: Why do you not marry? are you not able to focd a wife?" the young man of to day would reply; Yea, I am able to feed a wife, bnt not to clothe her." That might be very vulgar, but It was very true, and bachelor clubs flourished upon the modern extravagance of women. Until girlB learned that it was an error to think more of the valuo they carried on the outside of their persons rather than in their minds and hearts, bachelors would increase, and marriages would daily grow less. Applause. The lecturer related the anecdote of the grand Roman matron Cornelia, who, disdaining gems, was asked where she kept her jewels. She took her querists to her nursery, and, pointing to her bright and happy children, "There are my jewels," she said.

Applause. Woman has ever been the centre of luxury. In thin age she was more so, perhaps, than in any other. She might bo very attractive to the beau, but was a terror to the husband. Applause.

Girls ought to be discouraged in extravagance, and encouraged in frugality, particularly in the Une of dress. This was the great evil. When the marriago institution declined, population, andconseQuently the nation, declined. This waa a law of nature. Girls should be taught to be useful, for tho more useful a woman was the more ornamental was she too.

When Roman statesmen wished to compliment some splendid matron they said "She ia at home spinning." Young ladies should be taught that honest work was not degrading, i but the revorse. 1 In Bpeaking of tho necessity of education in house hold duties, Senator Schurz alluded to the effects of IMPROPER COOKING 1 in this country. There wero ten dyspeptics in America lot every one in xingiano, xraucu wnuuy. waa the result of using unwholesome food. Our girls were, in the higher circles of society at least, tauRbt to look upon housekeeping as a kind of degradation.

They were taught to do nothing that was practicalunless to go shopping, which was the most unpractical thing they could do. Laughter. A common bot TO, "I bivB no occasion to work." The pride of a trao woman ought to be to work, even when not ompeUed do so. Some newspaper correspondent fI pressed his surprise at finding, on tiugraMy, fhePrinoess paV! waist and attending to jta anUes Boro The German people respected thai SSSnoaS. fAp fa eM matSt ovlU of woman lu America to 0iJ? ffitnothlng to do which interferes uS? tad at should be done to make a ireater nation than ahe wa.

Tho reply waa, 'QlTrth! nation good mothers." That Is exactly what America needed, and tho end and ahn of all good people ahonld be to educate tho young generation ol females ao that they might be good mothors. They should be taught how noble it was to follow the path of duty rather than that of pleasure to abandon the foppery and frippery of fashion, and learn to rear and educate families. Applause. It wouldbeusele8totry andreform the nation fnamoral and political sense, unless there waa a higher basis of female education which might be convoyed to the home circle. It was not by malting a woman a votor or a member of Congress that she was to bo elevated.

It was by educating her up to a standard that would reform the nation, operating through tho social influences, In which woman has always been, and eer must remain, morepowerful than man. Applause. sCSEAnux The necessity of recreation was touched upon, and in The Ward Primaries Last Night. Delegates Chosen to the General Committee for the Coming Year The Old Leaders Still iu Hie.Asoendttuey. The Republicans held last evening their primarios for the election of officers of their ward asso ciationa nd of delegates to the Republican General Committee.

In most of the wards the voting passed off quietly, Ultra being no serious opposition, or none at ill, to tho regular ticket. In some of the distracted and divided wards, however, the spirit of revolt against the party leaders manifested itself in considerable disturbance, but the old leaders maintained tholr supremacy none the less. The opposition to them seems upon the whole to have been more noisy than effective. The following is a complete list of the delegates elected to the General Committee Fibsi WATiD W. Q.

Mr. A. B. Miillclt, Supervising Architect of tlio Treasury Department, hue resigned and liis resignation has been nrc.eptcd hy the Sec tetMy of the Treasury. Hon.

B. H. Bristol. This otiglit not to he an event of more than pawing interest, yet it is the topic of the day in Government circles and in ucvvKpaper columns. No especial Jearlli of new gives it nil exceptional prominence.

It is really an important matter, because it affects the progress of several great pnlJic enterprises which are under way. and because it attracts attention to the remarkable powers which empirical gov eminent has impressed ou offices even of sec ond grade. "Supervising Architect of the 'Treasury Department did not properly ex press 3Ir." Mulletls duties or place. He was really Government Builder, and (hat function necessarily became important under a Govern nieut whose youthtvlness deprived it of its complement of edifices, although its re 1 hourees and operations were and are otiperior to governments' which for ten centuries, and more, have been building themselves structures iu which to conduct their business. The Treasury Department is by law made the Building Agency for the Government.

The new State Department, building, the edi fices used by all the Departments at Washing ton, every Custom House and Post Office built by the Government, all have to be estimated, planned and built by the Treasury Depart tuent, or to speak strictly by its Superving Architect. Add to this the tendency of the Administration in modern days to commend itself to various localities by treating them to public buildings a policy of coquetry which Brooklyn's indomitable conservatism has not excited and Mr. Mullett's power and scope will be appreciated. He has, indeed, been a very important and active person iu our Government for several years, and no man could excite the criticism and the advocacy which he has excited, without having a good deal in him. His way of doing his work has provoked long and angry debates in Congress.

Representatives who thought their districts slighted have "gone for him." Sundry Congressmen who had failed to get this contract and that for favorites have worked against him with might and main. Investigating committees have sat ou him and on his plans. The newspapers have upheld him, and denounced him, and praised him and pilloried him. Mullett has been a very leading person, and a very useful person to those iu want of topics for editorials or speeches. His plans are also at fiiis moment in operation in not a few public buildings.

The Chicago. New York and Boston post offices are unfinished, and he planned and has been pushing them forward. Several minor post offices and some Custom Houses are in like case. The uew buildings for the Department arc dependent, so to speak, for their completion upon him. He has been retained by the authorities who are virtually rebuilding Washington City, and he has, in short, identified himself with about every considerable edificial enterprise in which the Government, orthe capital of the Government, is interested.

As a result, a good deal of his work lakes hold ou the future, and he has impressed himself on our history very unmista'ke ably, in ways of which the progress must be long, and of which the effects must be permanent. Secretary Chase gave Mr. Mullett the place he has hold. Secretaries Fessenden, MeCul loch, Boutwell and ltichardson never thought of disturbing him. A petty quarrel between himself and Secretary Bristow has led to the resignation of Mr.

Mullett, a quarrel which displayed the waspish qualities of both men. A department of the Treasury makes furniture for the public buildings a double sort of cabinet making of which people were hardly aware. Naturally tho furniture has considerable to do with the effect of the buildings themselves. Mr. Mullett has been in the habit of overseeing, and in a general way running, that furniture shop.

He wanted the right sort of furniture to go into the buildings he put up. He wanted the buildings and their contents to match. The last Congress had plenty of persons in it who were enemies of Mr. Mullett. In all their open fights he beat them rs usual.

One of them, however, slipped a clause into a bill quietly reposing the control of the furniture shop in some Chief Clerk taking it away from Mullett. The Treasury Department took as little notice of that petty meddling with its own details as it takes of many others, of which the passage only advertises tho silliness of Congress. The Chief Clerk, to be sure, ostensibly took charge of the furniture shop, but Mullott took charge of him and ran the shop all the same. The other day Mr. Bristow, who is doing a very large business on a very small capital, nosed out this thing and sentor Mr.

Mullett, assuring him with much circumstance that the furniture shop must know him no more. Mullett tried to explain that the matter was one of those petty little meddlings of Congress which the Department has always tacitly ignored or flanked. Bristow was heavy on the law and got mad. So did Mullett and resigned, and his resignation was accepted. Thus a furniture shop became a rock of offense, and an item of shavings ended the official career of a man who has built himself in marble and granite all over this country.

Oh, most lame and impotent conclusion Is this the termination of Mullett Not if General Grant can help it. ne may not be able to prevent it, however, for between Mullett, who has been badly battered, and Bristow, who is the bright particular star shining in the firmament, with the express purpose of attracting to itself the admiring gaze of a people disgusted at finding the rest of the Administration stalled iu the mud, the President will choose Bristow. He owes Mullett, nevertheless, many a good turn. The latter has always ordered his stone from the Seneca quarries. He has found uses for many a relative.

He has helped the District of Columbia favorites in many things. Till the third term idea dropped like an untimely fig, Mullett had a new White House under way in his brain for Grant. We reckon that if Mullett has to go a place will be prepared for him, and that he will name and run his succeaBOr. What is Mullett as a moral and mental quantity? did some one ask Well, Mullett is better than his reputation. He has not handled pitch without the usual result; but he is able, forcible, intense, fearless, cultivated, opinionated and iu the main honest, faithful, thorough.

He knows more about his art than the fellows that criticise it and him, and his retirement is a loss to the public service. He has made things lively in his time and he will make them lively for those who have crowded him out. Senator Scltnrz and Education. It is to be regretted that Carl Schurz did not have a large audience last night. He is a man of ability and very clever in tho use he makes of it.

His lecture was a plain talk about education, notable for not advocating compulsory schooling and for not referring to the co education of the sexes. Those are subjects favor cd by a great many inadequately educated personB in this country, who make it their province to talk about what they have not attained learning. Indeed, Mr. Schurz was so practical, direct and reasonable in his talk that we may well believe that a good many addle pated persons accustomed to platform ostein rated him "old fogyish." Common sense has been so long exiled from public occasions that when it comes back, even under the protection of a great mind, it is hardly recognized, and is coldly received. As near as can be hastily summarized, Mr.

Schurz spoke in favor of teaching children at home as long as they could be kept there; of instructing them in school in useful, exact, practical branches, and of eschewing in the period of childhood studies beyond the range of the pupil's mind and need. He also contended strongly for the improved estimation of Uaehere as a class and of teaching as profession. He might have said that that result rested enilrdj with teach The North Seoond street Railroad again came up for discussion, when Aid. Ropes offered a resolution de nignating the south side of Broadway and First street as the terminus of the road. At the laat meeting of the Board a resolution was adopted designating the northwest tide of Broadway and First street as the terminus, but the Mayor named a spot seventy five feet from that corner, and hen the company were about to locate there, they were stoppsd by an injunction, and thon they returned to the Common Council asking to be allowed to locate on the south Fide of Broadway where they had boon for the last eight years.

Aid. Strong said all tho trouble had resulted from Aid Zindel changing bis mind bo often, and tho arguments of that gentleman in iavoT of contradictory propositions were not worth anything. In connection with the. matter Aid. Strung presented a petition signed by a large number of prominent business men of the Eastern District, asking that the Railroad Company be kept north of Broadway, Tho fact was, that Uie Railroad Company had no legal right to go south of Broadway, and Judge cite on had Indicated an much in his decision.

To alloiv them to cross Broadway would bo to porpetuato and continue a nuisance. He moved a ref ureuce to the Railroad Committee to report one week from next Monday. Aid. Zindel hoped it would not bo referred if the Alderman from tho Thirteenthhadattendcd to his busi nes the matter could havo boon arranged a long time ago. He was the only man who was flgutlug the North Second street Compauy.

and God only knew what his reason was for so doing, Aid. Molutyve was satisfied that If tho moH 0j lhfl gentleman from tho Thirteenth shuM prevail, the matter would bo amicably sjU'ica. "ir Aid, Richardson could not vote for the motion to re fol', ffiplinftteo 404 tie, gentleman from the Thirteenth had hown themselves unablo or unwilling to grapple with a subject of such vast dimensions. Aid. Ropes thought the gontleman from the Thirteenth was entitled to great praise for bis efforts to clear First afreet, but he was not in favor of a motion to refer.

No track should be located without the con eent of the property owners, and to locate the Company on the north Bide was to locate nowhere. ajpAld. Ray was also opposed to a reference. The matter had Iwen before tho Committeo and nothing was done. As an amendment ho moved that tho Company be located on the northwest corner of Broadway and First street.

Aid. Brown, Chairman of the Railroad Committee, said the Committee would report if let alone. The motion to refer was carried. THE EXCISE LAW. Aid.

Gardner offered the following Whereas Under Hectiona 3, 5, 8,60 and HO of Title 11 of the Amended Charter of Brooklyn, full power is granted to tho Common Council of said city to fix the price of licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquor; to regulate how the persons so licensed may sett and to persons to whom such licenses shall be granted, and, Whcycas, It is expedient for this Board to exercise tho powers po conferred therefore, Resolved, That it be referred to a special committee of five to report to this Board the price hereafter to be charged by tho Department of Police and Excise for licenses to sell Intoxicating linuors, whether the prices for such licenses ohould In all oases be the same, and that tho Corporation Counsel be OQd he Is hereby requested to confer with sold committee for the purpose of drafting suitable resolutions or ordinance to govern the sale of intoxicating liquors In the City of Brooklyn. In moving the adoption of tho resolutions Aid. Gardner read as Mfl5sj Title XI, Section 3 ox the ArflOnded Charter, sflys That the Department of Excise and Police "shall havo the management and control of all matters relating to the police and excise, subject, however, to the ordinances of the Common Council and the laws of the State." Bcc. 5B of the Title XI, Is aa foUowB; Sec. 58.

The said Board meaning the Department of Excise and Police, shall have tho powers and perform tho duties, which are now conferred on Boards of Commissioners In this State, under tho provisions of an act entitled, "An Act regulating the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors" Passed April 11, 1870. Sec. 59. The Board shall bo subject to tho provision of said act, and the ordinance of tho Common Council provide for the granting of licenses to sell intoxicating liquorx, the persons to whom such liconues shall be given, the amount of the fco for license, In all cases and the regitlatiouB under which the persons licensed may sell. Sec.

GO. The said Board is hereby empowered to grant liceneeB in the manner and form as may bo directed by the Common Council, or as in default thereof the said Board may determine. He thon said The above nectionH of the Charter give to the Common Council all pjwer to fli the prico of licenses, to regulate how liquor shall lie sold and the parties to whom licenses shall bo granted. The object of tho Charter was to make the Common Council supreme over all to make it the only legislative body in the city and to limit or break up all legislative commissions. Tho Common Council can nay to the Board of Excise You shall hereafter grant licenses for $30," and the Excise Beard cannot charge more.

You say "liquor may be sold during the afternoons on Sunday," and the p'olloe cannot interfere In fact the Common Council arc tho masters of the situation. Aid. Fisher moved to refer the resolutions to the Law Committee. The motion was lost and the resolutions wero adopted. COLLECTION OP GROUND RENT.

Aid. O'Reilly offerod the following liexolvr.d, That the Corporation Counsel bo and he is hereby directed to inform this Board of the necessary steps to be taken to prevent tho collection of ground rent by parties (other than tho city) on Btrects in the Twelfth Ward, legally opened and for which tho award has been paid, Bitch streets not huving tcen graded or paved.

Since we have rendered teaching systematic and bureaucratic, since the "gradation of "learning" set in, and since "schools" became an obseleto term, instruction has advanced and the instructor has subsided into a sort of moral jellybagism. And therefore it is that we find papers like the Tribune and men like Mr. Schurz pleading "for the increased recognition of teachers." They have not been doing anything they ought to he ashamed of, at least wc do not kiow 6f their, having done so, and hence we fail to see the necessity of such a plea for them.

Let them stiffen themselves up and cultivate manliness and womanliness a little inore, and prime away affectations and sycophancy. If only they will cloar their minds of humbug, cant and the fear of man. they will accomplish for themselves that improvement of status which nobody else can accomplish for them. Ijortv. Lunar; and Lucre.

When we read iu the newspapers of a fortune suddenly falling into the hands of some poor person who has hitherto lived from hand to mouth, out feeling, if wc know the party, is oue of congratulation, and whether we know him or not, a suspicion of onvy is apt to infuse itself into our reflections. Yet perhaps that very fortune may be the greatest misfortune that ever happened to the individual in question. Hitherto he may have lived in peace, uuplagued by borrowers, and free from the demonstrative attentions of venal friends, but now they will hover over him like vultures over a carcass, and flock around him iu troops. His dreams henceforth will be of harpies and crocodiles his waking life one of constant apprehension. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," and not less uneasy his who awakes some morning to find himself rich.

He will yearn over his turtle and venison for the dinner of herbs" of his days of poverty. He will sigh for that liberty which is incompatible with wealth. He will feel that real estate and a bank account entail upon him anxieties unknown before. Like Boffin, iu "Our Mutual Friend," his ltiudlincss of nature will turn to suspicion and unrest. As he gazes ou his splendid mansion with its costly pictures, its plate, its furniture, he will be up I to say as Dr.

said to Gamck "All, Davie, these are the tilings that make a death bed terri ble Wo know an instance. A.u old Frenchman in California, had grown gray iu honest toil as a peddler. "Each morning saw some work be "gun, each evening saw its close," His clothes were seedy but his head was clear. His food was simple, but dyspepsia did not insurrect his vitals. "The sleep of the laboring man is sweet, said Solomon, and so this Frenchman found.

Relations, in the far West, to which he had immigrated years before, he had none, and his poverty preserved him from tho curse of friendship. Iu an unhappy hour, wealth caine to him through the death of a relative whom he had ceased to think of, in Europe, and henceforth all was changed. The calm horizon of his life was black with the clouds of apprehension. His countrymen discovered his merits troops of friends environed him iu all his comings in and goings out. He was cajoled, ho was duped, he was intimidated, he was menaced.

"Quid non ntortalia pedum agt auri mcra famea!" The French have a peculiarly fascinating way of swindling a man and a brother. Kolem, volenti, he had to open his purse, and care and apprehension set their deep furrows on his brow. Here a little, and there a little, he dealt out his gold with a feverish, trembling and reluctant hand. At length, in very dread that assassination would fill up the measure of his friends' attentions, he betook himself to the Mayor of the city and said I have wealth and none to leave it to. I am defrauded by my countrymen on every side, and believe I shall be murdered for my gold.

A few years only remain to me of life. Put me, I nray, into the Almshouse for the time still left, and I will pay handsomely for my board and protection and bequeath to the charitios of this city every dollar that I have. The offer was accepted, after some legal and alder manic confabulation, and the old man now lives once more in obscurity and peace. A somewhat parallel case, which is now engaging the attention of Judge Walsh, and which was reported in yesterday's Eiont, has led to theBO remarks. Au old lady of considerable wealth has a son in law and daughter.

She has also an adviser named Hughes, who now sits pensive in the County Jail. The former parties charge him with extorting deeds of conveyance, etc. from her by Intimidating her into the belief that her daughter and son in law were plotting to get her shut up in ft Lunatic Asylum, that they may obtain control of her estate. He makes a counter charge against them to the same effect. Between these two stools the old lady is racked in the seat of a by no means easy chair.

Scared out of her wits by Hughes, she let him lock her up in a solitary chamber, and, it is said, that he placed a ladder outside the house that she might escape under his escortbut whither Her age precludes the thought that hers would ha ve been the happy lot of "a young lady who elopes, down a ladder "of ropes," and, but for this timely intervention of the law, it seems probable that the tracks of the old lady would have been tenderly directed toward the Mad House. Every one has read Charles Eeade's novel, "Hard "Cash," and remembers how young Hardy was similarly dealt with, although perfectly sane. "Doctors disagree:" it is not difficult, where there is money enough, to obtain the necessary certificate. It would bo vain for this old lady to cry, like Lear, "Sirs, I am not "mad." The diagnosis of mind is a very flexible scientific operation. "Trifles light as air" are "confirmation strong," to those who start with a foregone conclusion.

Eccentricity, debility of will, religious vaporing, and a thousand other twists of nerve and brain, may easily bo construed into a lunacy sufficient for the wresting of property and the deprivation of liberty. Tho oase we have referred to is but one of thousands that aro happening constantly in this and other lands. That vague, historic personage Job to whom we must apologise for quoting in these Puritanic days, because the book is a play prayed wisely when he prayed "Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me." The Lazarus is not always worse off than the Dives. Where the auriferous carcass is there will the vultures of acquisitiveness and swindling be gathered together. Long Inland Farmers and the market Qnestion "Just as we thought." The Long Island farmers, constituting the party of the first part to the public market question of which the people of Brooklyn are the party of tho second part, put the railroad problem before and above, and hold it to be decisive of, the market question.

Indeed, a mere statement of the acts will show that: The Island farmers have the produce for sale. In Brooklyn are the people to buy the produce. A public market would simply be tho means of producers and purchasers together. But how shall the former be brought, unless they have a railroad A careful article in yesterday's Eagle showod that the fanners like the habit of going to New York as little as the people of Brooklyn like it. Most of them prefer to go in their wagons though they live forty miles off to going by railroads.

The reason is because the railroads with the ex nHnn nf A. T. Stewart's Central Railroad have put almost prohibitive rates on produce and on the manure essential to grow the produce. Thus the freight on the farmer is exhorbitant at both ends. This has been true of the Long Island Boad and the South Side Road, and is true vet.

The Central Bond in disposed to be rea so mado from this motive by colored people of their own volition, but simply in obedience to the urgency of some restless blatant politician of the pettier class. The colored people know very well that a colored boy forced into a white school must, of necessity, be uncomfortable there. They know we have colored schools, tended by efficient teachers, where the course of study and the discipline aro liko unto those iu white schools. They see also that if the colored boys aro all forced into the white schools, the office of teacher will be a sealed one to colored people fit to exercise its functions. For, though the children riSa? bS p7el3e3 Into the schools, the selection of teachers must ever remain with the whites.

There is no inequality, nor desire to create inequality, of privilege in this. The colored and white schools being equal in everything that tends to educate, it is just as natural that colored people should prefer having their children educated together as it is that white folks should. The Central Dispensary. Our report of the dinner given by tho Trustees to the Medical Staff of the Central Dispensary will repay reading, not merely or mainly because it chronicles a graceful affair, but because it throws a deal of light upon the operations of an institution which has done much for, and which deserves much, of the citizens of Brooklyn. The remarks of Dr.

Hutchison iu their references to the operations of the Control Dispensary, and in their references to the Hospital at Flat bush will be found of interest, value and sug gesliveness. The point made that dispensaries are most excellent in the work of preventing disease, and that as an economical investment they would, if encouraged, save all the expense of the costly "stamping out" processes neoessarily applied to diseases when epidemic, presents ft thought worthy of tho attention of economists, sanitarians and philanthropists a thought which will bo tho basis of Government policy, when sense displaces scheming and knowledge ignorance in respect of public affairs. Tho Central Dispensary is unostentatiously doing a vast, increasing and ceaseless work. The remarks of President Wallace, of the Board of Trustees, last night, showed that in large, as tho regular items in the Eagle from week to week show it iu detail. We know of no snbjcet which can better appeal to private liberality and earnest support, especially as all its work is free from quacks and quackery, and their vainglorious ignorance.

The peat beds lying three or four feet below tho surface at Bridgeport, have been burning for some time, and the people of that region are complaining of the unpleasant flavor which the smoke gives to their food. This showB the absence of a cultivated taste. All the Scotch and Irish within range are hurrying down to Bridgeport under the agreeable impression that some one has opened a "big "joog of raal One of those extraordiuary revolutions with which Spanish America is continually afflicted, broke out in the Argentine Confederation some two or threo months ago. The rebels, to the number of four or five thousand, threatened the most important city of tho Confederation; and the Government troops, to the number of eight or ten thousand, according to official reports, threatened them. These two armies of bloodthirsty warriors have been facing each other with dauntless bravery ever since.

In the meantime, a number of the Government vessels were taken possession of by the rebels, and there was every prospect of a blockade of ports, sanguinary conflicts at sea, and bloody battles on land. Now, after a two or three months' campaign of active bluster, we are told that one gunboat has surrendered to the Government, and that General Mitre, the head of the rebellion, has fled to the deseit in. such hot baste that he couldn't take his baggage along. This is regarded as the end of the rebellion, and therofore we may now expect to hear that the real bloodshed has begun. Amnesty is seldom heard of in South America until vengeance is sated.

The infant son of tho Duke of Edinburgh was baptised yesterday, with a superfluity of nomenclature which would be a serious inconvenience if etiquette required the use of the full name every time hiB little Highness were addressed; and if he should ever suffer the misfortune of little Charley Ross, his identification as Albert Alexander Alfred Ernest William, would be a difficult matter, indeed. There's a good deal in a name when its as long as that but this prodigality in titles is a peculiarity of princes and piccaninnies. The young American of African descent, whose sole heritage is a life of labor, genorally comes into the world as Julius Ceasar Hannibal Augustus Pompey and thuB wo see that in the matter of names, extremes in high and low life, often meet. A divorce suit at New Britain, between a couple who have been married thirty one years and have grand children, furnishes a remarkable example of free loveism. The husband charges the wife with adultery and her reply is that "it is none of his business." To have made ovon one such convert, the Woodhull has not lived in vain.

THE METHODIST MINISTERS. Til inking; and lis Responsibilities Considered. The Methodist preachers held their regular weekly meeting yesterday morning at the rooms, corner of Broadway and Eleventh street, New fork, Dr. Werwin in the chair. The meeting was openod with a prayer by Rev.

Mr. westgate, after which an essay, entitled, "On Thinking Its Pleasures, Responsibilities, Risks and Advantages," was read by ttev. Dr. McAllister. After anito a lengthy explanation of the relation of thought to tho mind and brain Dr.

McAllister said that one of tho first sources from which sublime thinking could be derived was the Holy Bible Among those who had become immortalized from the caiefnl study of tho scriptures, he mentioned John Bunyan and John Milton, and stated that hosts of other can bo enumerated. He also said thct some of the ablest and most scientific men of the age had allowed themselves to become materialists and infidels in consequence of giving their thoughts too wldo a range. Tticro can bo no revival. 1Y ehoali have fasting, humiliation and prayer. Rev.

Considerable disturbance had been anticipated there, but owing to a compromise ticket being put in the field the contest was almost an uninteresting one, and the three policemen from the Fourth Precinct, assigned to duty there, had almost nothing to do.

Major Weeks was, of course, present, seemingly with the destiny of the occasion in his hands. Hither and thither he went among the boys, delivering and inspecting tickets like one who really knew what was not to occur, and he above all others knew that. Henry A. Bowen, too, woe present with his political cheralicrs, and did yeoman's duty in the interest of the compromise ticket. Five hundred and thirty seven votes were cast.

Twenty second Ward. The Twenty second Ward Primary was held in a tea store at the comer of Tenth street and Fifth avenne. The polls opened at five o'clock, and were not closed until ten. During all that time there was a large crowd present, and a very lively interest was manifested in the voting. The fight wm on the delegates to the General Committee, principally, although there was a good deal of watching on both tickets for ward officers.

The delegates to the General Committee on the regular, or Dntcher Richardson ticket, were A. F. Lamard, A. B. Bichardson, D.

D. Bonnett, Alex. 0. Colder and Herman Schroeder. On tho "young Men's Ticket" vfcro tho names of John Buchanan, E.

D. Hawkins, Edward Egolf, Wm. Hematreet and Stephon F. Lewis. At half past eleven o'dook the vote had not been half counted, and at that time no idea as to the result could be ascertained, owing to the scratched tickets.

There were two arrests. The first was that of a man who whon obout to cast his ballot said his name woa Joseph Dcvine, of No. 109 street. It seems (hat Joseph Devino has left the city some time, and his father in law was present. He stated that tho man attempting to vote was not his son in law and the voter was challenged by Aid.

Richardson, who finally mode a charge against him and he was orroted for personating another man. The next Miest was that of Donald McDonald..
