The Board of Comptroliers of the public schools of that city has perfected a bill in relation to compul- sory education, which applies to all children in the city between the ages of eight and sixteen who do not attend private or parochial schools. It 's estimated that there are at least 20,000 children in Philadelphia between six and eight- een years of age who lo uot aticnd any school, and who d» not receive any instruction either in reading or writing. I+ is said that in Prussia every chiht is competied by law to attend school, but it must be alse said that in Prussia there is a school for every child. This is not the case, it seems, in Philadelphia, as there are now, ac- cording to a statement made about a month ago, several thousand children whose names are entered at the public schools who are waiting for admission, but who cannot be received be- cause there are no accommodations for them. In Washington it is also the case that there are many children unprovided for in the Public Schools; but the difficulty here is that the city 1s 80 burdened by the host of contraband children brought here by the war, and by the large num- ber of children of Government employes, that it can scarcely stagger under the load of taxation requisite to keep up the present school system. For it must be remembered that the parents of neither of these classes of pupils pay any taxes | for the support ef our schools. It may be re- marked further that Congress, while voting large amounts for the support of schools every- where except in the District of Columbia, has added to this*injustice by depriving us of @ portion of our own school income at the very time this heavy additional burden was thrown upon us. Of course it was done unwittingly; but yet it was done. In order to give the right of suifrage here to the contraband population so fully that none should be debarred from the privilege of voting, Congress deemed it advisable to do away with the poll-tax upon voters. Now, this pull-tax was by law devoted to the support of the public Schools, and thus Congress, probably without the slightest idea of the result of its action, swept away every vestige of this school tax. ‘Of course with the enormous increase of school expenses from the floating population thrown upon the city, the poll-tax would not now go very far towards the support of the public schools; but yet it was an element of some im- portance, and the city was deprived of it just at the time when most needed. In view of these enormous burdens thrown upon this city simply because it is the seat of Government, we do not see how Congress can hesitate to pass the bill before them donating to this District a portion of the public lands for school purposes, such = granted to all the States and Terri- tori ———_-+-- —___. The French Government may ryt congratu- late itseif upon its easy and almust bloodless victory over a short succession of street riot<, more mischievous, perhaps, than malignant, in which the ringleaders were half-a-dozen con- spirators and theatrical fanatics. But the ques- tion is, whether the Liberal Cabinet is not spend- ing too much time in repression that is not needed. The prosecution of M. Rochefort, for instance, has compelied the Ministry, in spite of many truly liberal acts, end of unexceptionable Protestations of allegiance to the caus: of lib- erty, to lean more and more upon that offi- cial majority which belongs to the old regime. Hence has arisen a false position, made falser still by the prevalent and plausible suspicion that in prosecuting M. Rochefort the Minister ‘was seeking favor with the Tuileries, and that in deferring to next year a new electoral law and other measures imperatively demanded by liberal opinion, he was unduly couciliating “‘the Mammon of unrighteousness.” But at this distance perhaps we can hardly judge with fair- ‘ness, and it is due to the Ollivier Ministry that they shall have time granted them to show how far they will undertake to carry out their prom- ises of giving constitutional liberty to France. ———__—_<sen+ Governor Bowie of Maryland, yesterday sent a numberof appointments of State officers, In- spectors, Magistrates, etc., to the State Senate for confirmation. N.C. Robinson is appointed iuano Inspector; R. ©. Mulliken, B. Allen Welch, Daniel Kent, G.W. Mauro and Nicholas D. Wheatley, Inspectors of Tobacco; D. C. Biackiston, Inspector General of Grain; and Samuel Dickinson, Inspector General of Flour. Lew Turner, Sr., is made Weigher of Live Stock. John T. Farlow, the present Marshal of Police, has been appointed a Justice of the Peace, and nearly all the present incambents of these positions have been retained. Thomas G. Pratt, T. H. Hodges, Walters Wilkinson and H. ‘Tillard Smith, are the new Notaries Public. ——_—__-«ee. ‘The bill allowing the charging of 12 per cent. interest on contracts has passed both Houses of the Virginia Legisiature. This is to carry out &@ provision of the new constitution of the State. Business men, and especially those of small cap- ital, in this District and in the State of Mary- land, will now have less chance than ever to borrow money st a fair rate of interest. When lenders are liable to lose the entire principal, as in this District, and as in Maryland the entire interest, as the penalty for violating the usury Jaw fixing the rate of interest at six per cent., they are not likely to risk their money on loans here, when by crossing the Potomac they can get twelve per cent. legally. ——s Texas Sexators ELectep.—A telegram re- ceived at the War Department this morning from General Keynolds, commanding in Texas, announces that the Legislature yesterday elected Morgan C.

What We Need. Eprrog Sr. The Caronicie of the 234, in.» long article, argues that a territorial form dr government for the District would not be any simpler or remove any evils complained of in present. If the territorial form does not meet the approbation of the Chronicle, will that Paper consider a plan which shall give the mi- nority a share with the majority in the govern- ment of the District. We will suppose that there are two parties in the Pistrict—each ef whom shall be able to elect men who have the interests of the citizens at heart, men whose business it shall be to mind business and not polities, sines this District has uo vote for President or upon national aftairs. This being the case, let the people vote, each for one man for Commis- +i mer to govern the District. Let the two men who have the most votes be declared elec: and then let the President of the United States | point a third, and let these three men hare alithe power necessary for an efficient adminis: tration of municipal affairs. Let them have the power to appoint such subordinate officers as Congress deem necessary, and Teceive petitions and pass bills and do the work which the Aldermen, Councilmen and Mayor now perform, The minority Commissioner would be unable to rule, but he would know how his associates ruled, and the conscious- ress of such knowledge would prevent the fraud and corruption which the ‘(Oats usually charge upon the “Ins,” times | justly and sometimes unjustly. these days the publication of a wrong brings it to the ground. Any swindle that the people are made to see, they abolish. This government of & majority commission, with a minority witness, would have a good prospect of being healthy and judicious. “The Sultanof Turkey receives with his own hand petitions from the humblest of his people. Must we say that Re- | ablies cannot have a government as simple and just as Despots’? Must we send petitions through a Board of Aldermen and Councilmen. a Mayor and Congress, before we can do things that three men could decide upon in as many minutes? t tl ' let them Tr | To modify the*tyranny of majorities,” and to | dispense “equal rights” to all, are laudable ob- jects of endeavor; and the government of the consolidated District by a commission partly elective, and partly appointed, would tend to- ward these ends, in the opinion of a Keruncicay. lease reprint the following Slip from the Tribune. and say to that paper that the power to take care of themselves, without waiting upon the will of Congress, is breciscly the retorm wanted by Weshington; and this is the reform which the Tribune is invited to help. Does not the Tribune know that this city cannot = its own avenues withcut the permission of Congress, expressed through the Ixborious met robe sore @ bill through” a body that has too much other business on hand to heed this District? With the wer to manage its own affairs, and to tax the national. property within its limits just as they tax themselves, the enterprise and public spirit ot this city will go ahead to take care of its own poor. establish manufactures, and redeem the city generally. This power only the American people, through their representatives in Congress, can grant. The precise form of government which shall best give this power to the District may not yet have been matured, but that the thing i needed and demanded by the intelligence of the Peoplohere, there can be no doubt. . C. L. Wasnrxeton Crty.—A correspondent who deems us unfriendly to the present Federal Me- tropolis writes to controvert our views on that point, and incidentally says : ‘he agitation of the question of removing the Capital hus had a good effect upon the peo- ple of this city, in opening their eyes to their ut- ter dependence upon ¢ tence; to the fact that, pital was re- moved, a city of more than 120,000 inhabitants would be left to the bats and owls. Washington has many men of whom any city might be prond; and they will put their shoulders to the wheel and make this a much better place than it now is, and altogether a city m which all Amer- ieans can take pride. Has the great power in the land—The New York Tribune—no helping hand to lend to this enterprise?” Answer—Yes, we will help Washington, if her iagnates will allow us to counsel them; if not, how can we? We most earnestly urge them to stop looking to the Government for favors and de- pend upon themselves. Let them resolve to pave their own streets, pay their own police, support their own poor, and ask Congress to mind their own proper business and let them alone. Then let them introduce several branches of manu- facturing industry, and train up their children to productive labor instead of rearing them to the degrading erattof office-seeking for a live- liheod. By following this course, they maj make theirs a tru le and flourishing city, no matter whether the capital shall remaiu there or be taken somewhere else.— Kid. Trib. ss0e. Tue “Anti-Robber Bank-Bey Protective” is, Ip esume; the name given to a curious arrange- ment which I observed yesterday on the person of a boy in Wall street. The youth, who was fifteen, was apparently a bank-boy, and carried in his hands one of those precious tin boxes which burglars and highway robbers so much affect. To the box was attached a strong chain which passed once or twice around the boy's waist underneath his jacket, and was securely fastened. Evidently there was no running off with that tin box without running off with th: boy too.—N. ¥. Cor.
