THE COUNTY SCHCOL TOARD. The regular monthly meeting of tho County Board of Education was lhold yosterday after- noon in tho new rooms, Nos. 1, 2. and 8, No. 173 East Randotph streot, President J. J. Xearney inthe chair, Supt. George D. Plant, Secrotary. ‘The new rooms are neatly furnished, and much more comfortabie than those formerly occupied by the Board in tho same building. The nsual pumber of moatbly bills, includiog teschers’ pay-rolls, were audited. The Doard unsnimonsly repudiated tho state- ments, publicly made, that Principal Wontworth, of tho Normal School, wag about to be removed, and a Cacholic appoioted to fill his place, It was stated that Mr. Wentworth could not bo removed uatil June, a8 his confract with the county was {for one year. Seven dollars is gencrally considered a small amount of money in these degenerate days of public corruption, bu: this appatently insigniii- cant sam caused quite o breezo in the Board of Education yesterday afternoon. It happened in this wiso: President Kearney asked that such & bill bo audited; that it was for carriage-hiro, for bhimself, Mr. Garauer, and Sapt. Flent, who bnd goce out at the invitation of the County Commirsioners to visit the paupor school at Je(erson. Mr. Lowis rather oppored the bill, a8 did Mr. Clark, who thought that the County Board eboald pay it, and, farthormora, they thonght if the Bosrd of Fducation had been invited, it shonld hayve beea nsa body. However, the bill was approved, after a discus- sion as to the jurisdiction of the Bozrd of Edu- cation over tho Jefferson achool. The bill was declared passed, though oaly ons member was beard to vote for it. Aftor ita passage 3r. Kearnoy went out, and Mr, Johuson took the chair. "Chia was the siznal for 2a cxplosicn. Prof. Wentworth stigmatized the building at Jelerson a8 a shame and disgrace to the county, where children in bealth were confined with thoso do- formod und diseased. in o frame shanty 16 by 24 feet, from the sides of which boards were wmiss- ing. which was very demoralizing ana uohealth: Not alone this, but the school-bonse was with- out veutilation, and a stove in the centro of the room made the breathinz more difficalt aud sickening. It was in tho rear of fifty privies, snd used continuously, the doors of which wore broken down, and whero men and ‘women went promigctonsly in full view of the unfortanate children. The gentleman drew in his horns at tho.close, sayiug that ho hnd no de- sire to refloct on the Board of County Commis- siopers. 3. Gardner had a word or two to the samo effect to eay on the eubject, when Supt. Plant put inan oar with a voluminous document, in which he went on to show that the Board of Education had no authority in the matter at all, aud that its _juriediction did not extend bavond the Normal School at Eaglewood. He was cali- ed to order justat s tims when e was about to elaborate upon the virtuesof the Board 6f Coun- § Commissioners. In view of this fact, Mr. Lewis proposed to rescind action on the 37 bill for carriage hiro, and leave it to the County Doard to pay. Tha motion w2s decided lost by the Chair. Mr. Clark then severaly criticized the way in which business was done by the Board of Education, which_was folloewed by Mr. Gardoor. who re~ viewed the zction of “the DBoard of Coun~ ty Commissioners * in ecathiog terme, for tho maoner m which they bad conducted the pauper schools. Ho thought rather than to have these unfortunates abused iu tho way thoy had boey, it were better to turn them loose again upon the community, which wonld bo more humane to them. He wsaid ho had tried to offer oxcuses for the County Board, —that they allowed the evil to_exist on account of ecouowy,—but ho would witgdraw thal, 2nd say that it was n burniog disprace to Cook County, and the sooner a remedy was offered and carried into effiect, the better it would be for the public. —_—— THE CITY-HALL. ‘Water rents yesterday wero 1,923, and ro- coipts from the City Collector 87,720 ‘The Frankfort, Ducharme, Ogden, and Nevada Houses wera inspected yesterdny.

In the afternoon the Finauce Commuttee of the Council zand City- ZEungineer Chesbrough met with the Board, and the bitls.of Cox Broy., for extra work at the ‘IVest Side Pumping Works, were examined. ‘Tho extra expensa was caased by havioz to sink s shaft deeper than bud been anficipated, and by masonry work on the eame.

Considerable time was spent in dis- cyssing tho varions items of the bills, which woro finally reforred to tho Board for judzment. The Comrmittos then disposed of a baich of minox claims for damages from defective side- walks and from ceuges for which tho city might be Leld respobsible. Friday efternoon Marsbal Benner ond bis as- istaots, in cotmpany with the Mayor and severzl Aldermen, made & few experiments with oils to dotermino ut what tempernture they would igoite.

THE LATE CONVENTION. The most ardent friend of the Western Tarf- men’s Convention, which held its scssions ab the Palmer Honse two days last week, can hard- Iy suy anything better of it than thatit wes a tizzlo from’ beginning to end. The measures recommended fell still-born, and will never more be heard of in any shape. The best part of the audience, 88 rogarded numbers, were not iden- tified with the best intereats of the Westera turf, and the most iafluential delegates took carly oceasion to disavow the zction talkenin o documeat which was signed by the President of the gathering and several other gentlemen whose nawmes carry weight. The trouble with the whole affair was that it was based on the exploded idea of secession. It needs no argument to ebow that tho formation of an independent Western Association would be offering a premium for expelled, suspended, and generally disharred Eastern horses, to putin an appearauce on our tracks. Whatever may have been, or may hereafter be, said 88 to the pur- poses of the gathering will not alter the fact that 1ts originators came prepared to advocate se- cession, but were o far overawed &8 to keep that plan io their pockets. ‘The mokt extraordinary idea broached during the session was the suzgestion that suspensions should be removed, at least®in nearly all cases. ‘This, of course, came from the party wbo want to soe > Small Hopes,” the horse with & hundred alinses, put back, and with him a plenty of oth- ers not much better. ‘There is thisto be said of the affair, that it ac- complished nothing and so did well.
