Well known pug'list, Izzy Lazarus, who i 4 recently in this city. was an En,lishman by birth, and descended from Israelitisn parents. He was born on the %th of February, 1512, in Petticoat Lane, London, and ata very early age manifested a fondness for encounters with | ber boys, generally ecming off victorious, mu when the chances were against him. As came to manhood he was frequently msiched age: however, at tne hands of a Yorkshireman, and feeling much disgusted, he abandoned the profession for some time. but vittmately resumed it, @nd after several triumphs he was sgain beaten by one Owen Swist, and after that he fought no more. He moved to Yorkshire in 1+37. and the following year be married in Sheffield. In 1853 the jamily emigrated to America. Atter a tour of ime States they settled in this city, and al- though prevented by bis great obesity from taking an active part among pugiliste, ne maintained his interest in all that pertained to the sporting world.

He gave her a dose of the medicine, and in hal! an hour she was dead. The enfortanate woman was formerly Miss Rebecca Eider, ot Lincoin soanty, Ky., and we believe the pair bad net long been united. ‘The suddenness of the death, together with the circumstances attending it, tended to excite the strongest =nspicions, which led to the arrest of Ryan, who is now confined m the jail at Lagrange to ait AM examination.

Mr. Noyes, trom the Committee on Public Schools, reported tuvorably on the followiog from the lower Board: AX Acrcalling upon the Mayor to order th Ketion of t ol tax of one dollar from all white citizens over tweuty-oue years old or up- wards, Be ut resolved by the Board of Aldermen and Connon (ourcit, That the Mayor be and is here Hy Teapect ed to order the assessment und collection of all . chool or poll taxes in aecord- ance with the law of this Corporation, approved May 22. 1548, the title of the bill pale Mr. MeGatiran said Remed oaly “white male citizeis over twen- ty-one yeats old and upwards.” He thought the ‘sx should be collected trom all voters, whether white or coloved. Mr. Noyes : 1d the words reterred to oc- curred in the t't'e to the bill, and were merely quoted from the law as it sands on the books. ‘The word white could be stricken out irom the title. Mr. Elvens said that the Uorporation iaw referred to in the resolution made the payment of the poli-tax a condition precedent to v and the passage of the resolution by the cils would be making class 4: 4 . The law ot Congress epec’ fies who shail vore here now, virtually annulling tbe act of the ( or- poration referred to, and all others in which ihe word “white” applied to citize ne occurs. This proposrd action of the City Councils will, there.ore, be legislating againet the white man, becau? we cannot, until authorized by Conzress, levy a special tax on the colored man. He was a /riend to the pablic echools, but the passsge of this resolution would place this toard in the position of legislating against the white man, and be did not want to do that. He wished to place the colored man in thesame position as the white man. Mr. Richards said the resolution proposed no new legislation, but oniy requested the Mayor to entorce the law aleady en the atat- ute booke. Nothing bas passed Conerecs ri pealing that Jaw. It the board wished ‘o strike out the werd whi’e in the tit'e of the regolution he was willirg. but they had better Jeaveit tothe Mayor. Hecoutd not <ee how its passage conld be called ciass legislation Mr. Noyes said be could not see the force of the objections of the gentieman from the ‘’hird Ward (Mr. Elvan.) Congress nad not re. penied the law requiring a payment of o1 dollar poil-tax for tae support of the school but had done away with the provis ons re- quiring tbis tax to be paid precedeat to voting. ‘The oply object of this bill was tocollcct this poil-tax'eo that it should not be lost to the school tund. It would be «serious drawback t0 the school fund if this poll-tax was lost al- togetber. Aflier come further debate, on motion of Mr. McQathran, the bill was recommitted with instructions to report ai the laws, and whether they eannot make the resolutions ap- plicable to ali citizens, white or colored. Dir. Noyes. from the same Commit'ee, also reported favorably on the bill for payment of ibe full sularies of all teachers of public schools at the commencement of the summer -vueation Mr. Moore objected, because he thought it waa paying the teachers in advance. Mr. Noyes expiained tbat it was not payment in advance, because their services for the year were atap end at commencement of the summer vacation. hey have then rendered uli services for the school year. ‘The vacation ‘was the teachers Sunday, and the object of this bill was simply to pay them on Saturday nigb{, when the week’s work was done, in- stead of on Monday morning, or at the com. mencemeni of the vacation instead of the end of it. The injustice to the teachers of deferring ther payment! was shown by the fact that their salary was yet unpaid for the last three months, and they were actually obliged to have their scrip shaved, Dir. Moore said it was payment in advance, or af not then 1t was an increase of compensa- nop, apd the annual salary should be divided into ten equal parts instead of twelve. Dir. Richards advocated the resolution, ex- pressing the came views as Mr. Noyes. Mr. Elvans thoughtthat Mr. Moore's sugges- lion to divide the year into ten months was a good one, and hoped the bill would be recom- Toitied tor amendment. Mr. Moore moved a postponement of the bill, ou which the ayes and noes we! led; and the Board retused to postpone— 1, (Mr. Moore,) nays9. Mr. Elvans moved to recom- mit the bill to the committee, with instructions to report an amendment providing for paying the annual salaries in ten equal instalments. Mr. Noyes thongbt these objections were purely cap'ious. The bill accomplished every- thing that was needed. The motion to recommit was lost, by the following vote: Yeas—Messrs. El: Moore, and Talbert—3. Neys— Messrs. Given, Grincer, McOaibran, Noyes, Richards, Tait, and the President (Barr)—7. The bill was then passed.

Mr. Given said that if he stood here eolitary and alone in opposing these amendments he sbould doso. Hesup, the committee had made the best bargain they could, but they had no right to make any compremize whatever, as the compensation of the Collector was fixed by law. He would vote cheerfully against the report, and if we had no revenue bill until he gave his assent to the report let us do with- onvit. Mr. Noyes said he supposed it would not be considered in order to move an amendment to the report of the Conference Vommittes. bat if itconla be done he would move to increase the rate of taxation for the support of the Public Schools trom 20 to 30 per cent. The Mayor bad informed him that it would require ‘an Additional schoo! tax of atleast 10 per cent. to meet the requirements ef the acts of Con- gress for the support of the colored schools. Mr. Moore said it would not be in order to move an amendment to the report of the Con- terence Commit'es.

Mr. Piau said that aruit was pending, and a judgmenthad already been obtained by the trustees, the amount being fixed by an audi- tor, (Mr. Cox,) who was certainly not very favorable to the colered schools.

The whole difficulty arose from a technicality, and he read from the law of Con- gress to show that the bill was correct, and urged its passage. Mr. 0.S. Baker said that he did not consider his trme had been wasted when he had broaght the gentleman over to his side of the question. He claimed that the amount in the bill was but little over one half the amount due, and con- tended that @ liberal construction should be put cn the act of Congress, and there should be no niggardly action, for their constituency did not act niggardly towards them. Mr. Connolly suid that the gentleman was welcome to whatever glory can be made out of bis efforts to pos'pone the bill.
