FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sarurpay, Sept. 12-6 P. M. Government securities have been strong all day, ut quiet, and the leading dealers report a good de- knand from savings banks and investors who defer- ¥ed purchasing in July and August in consequence ‘of the disturbing political influences which were , then felt, Allowing for the accrued interest prices Bre considerably lower now than they were @ week or two before the Democratic Convention was held tm this city, and meanwhile public sentiment has , changed materially in favor of our national securi- ies. At the close the market was strong at the fol- lowing quotations:—Registered, 1881, 11334 @ 113%; Coupon, 1881, 11434 @ 11434; 5-20’s, registered, 1862, 10834 @ 108%; 5-20's, coupon, 1862, 113% @ 113%; €o., 1864, 109% @ 110; do., 1865, 11134 @ 111%; do., 1865, January and July, 109 a 10944; do., 1867, 10874 a 100; do., 1868, 109 @ 10944; 10-40's, registered, 1043; 9 10434; 10-40’s, coupon, 104% @ 105; September com- pounds, 1865, 11934; October do., 118%.

Money was extremely abundant at three per cent on government securities and four on mixed collat erals, and balances were offered to first class houses In some instances at two and even one per cent after ® quarter to two o’clock. The prevailing monetary ease is fully as great as we have had to record at any time during the summer. There is no change to note in commercial paper, the supply being moderate and the best grade in demand at from six to seven per ‘vent. The statement of the associated banks of this city for the week ending to-day shows that the rain of currency westward from this centre in the Paterval was very light. In the deposits there is an Ancrease of $2,365,271, in the legal tender notes of }2, 654,435, in the specie of $644,858 and in the circu- ition of $30,500, while in the loans there is a de- crease of $224,994.

In view of the large and increasing ‘receipta, it is hardly probable that holders of wheat ave any idea of effecting an advance in prices, A Yack of confidence tn present Eastern quotations diminishes Eastern orders and keeps shippers and sellers apart, except at concessions on the part of the latter, who, in many instances, prefer running ‘their chances of a firmer market to letting it go and delping to break the prices down at once. The movement of currency to the country continues with “but little variation, The supply of currency is large and has contributed to make exchange Armer, the Yatter having been sold between banks to-day at j$1 25 off, while several of the usual sellers declined €o sell at any larger discount than $1. » At the commencement of business the railway share market was ateadyand moderately active, but jot the early session of the open board the tendency wor prices was slightly downward and New York \Central sold at 123%- Brie, 46%; Reading, 89%; ‘Michigan Southern, 83; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 8534; feo and Toledo, 100%; Rock Island, 100% a 007%; Northwestern, 86% a 8634; do. preferred, 85%; ‘ort Wayne, 10754; Milwaukee, 91; do, preferred, 10074; Ohio and Mississippi, 25%.

This beats the best work ever done on the Union Pacific, and we are promised that seven miles shall be laid in one day, if necessary to keep the palm for the California company. Probably at least etyht or ten miles of track per day is now being regulariy laid by the two companies. Eight days ago about seven hundred and seventeen miles remained to be built between the termini of the Central and Union Pacific. 1f only six miles of track per day has been laid, this distance is reduced to six hundred and sixty-nine miles. At this rate of tracklaying only five hundred and fifty-seven miles of staging are necessary to-day, It is safe to assume that there will be at least thirty additional working days before winter sets in; and these will give two hundred and forty miles additional of completed track, leavin; only three hundred and seventeen miles to be lai next season. Dificnit as it is to comprehend the ee fact, there seems to be scarcely a doubt that yy the 4th of July next the journey from New York to San Francisco may be made entirely by rall. The London Daily News of the 28th ult. says:— It 18 understood that the directors in this country of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway have now received from America the requisite papers and powers for the completion of the proposed arrange- ment for the consolidated mortgage bonds, and. that application will at once be made to the committee of the Stock Exchange for their quotations ex coupons.

The Oldest Man in Ohio and What He Ree members. {From the Cincinnati Times.) ‘Through the kiudness of Mr. J. H. Woodruff, over- seer of the poor im the Fourteenth ward, we were recently introduced to a wonderful specimen of lon- gevity in the person of a colored man named Robert Smith, who resides with his daughters on the north side of Sixth street, between Plum and Central av- enue. In going into the house we met a very old, egress who, in response to our ape @ waa the wife of Mr. Smith, satd:—‘Oh, bless your heart, massa, no, I'se his child; and if you will gis sit down @ minit I'll send for the old man.” Com- plying with her request we only had to wait a few moments, when the old man came in. after a few — regarding his health, &c., we gained the following facts connected with his history, which we give, as nearly as Penna in his own language: “T was born in Virginia, between Richmond and Fredericksburg, but in what year I cannot say, only that I know that | was some thirteen years of age wien my massa said that we would have to hide the hosses in the swamps, 4s there was going to be a war with the old country, and I have often taken the Nosses into th ‘amps When tmassa supposed that the Britishers were near. About the time the war ended massa moved his family to near Lexington, Kentucky, taking me along with him. I forgot to say that T have been told that when I was six weeks old my mother was sold to some planter beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains, and that I never saw her afterward, [cannot recollect my father, as he was sold South when I was very young. For two or three years before I was taken from Virginia I was the property of a slave trader named Craig, who often took me away down South when he went to boo 2 ‘niggers;’ but for what purpose I cannot now tell. “General’ Washington and his army in going to Yorktown passed right it nt of the farm where [ was born, and [remember the white people going to see him, Pg I never saw him myself, that recollect. Iwas living in old Kaintack when we fought the Britishers in 1812, but I was too old to be drafiea being as nearly a+ I can now rears old at that time, 1.4 Some five years since, tect about ity ¢ recollect about died in Lexiugtoh ‘at the age of ninety-nine. We had twenty-four children; this one by my side, who is now eighty being =, wre she has been Cpa ae irteen children, so many grani great ren that I cannot tell them all. As myself and wife were both siaves, most of our children, on becoming old enough, were sold South, and of course I never heard of them again. My old massa was very kind, for when the old woman and I became so old that ‘we could not work any more he set us free by giving tus our enunciation (emancipation) paper, and allow. , ing us to shift for ourselves. “*The three children that I know anything about ‘were sot free by Massa Linkum, whose picture you see hanging up on the wall ober the bed. My ole woman and me lit togedder in the bonds of fetlocks, as near as I can now gether, mighty nigh on to elghty years; for our firs chile, dis gal heah, was not born for three or four roars efter my marriage. | trations were to be made will be ready at war a mighty hard workin’ man in my time. having labored as a distiller and worked with a waip and cross-cut saw, Ineber drauk any spirits or used to- bacco in form, nor does I take de Lord’s name io vain, as I have been a persistent member of de good old Baptist Church ever since long beiore I was married, which I think must now be close on to &@ hundred years, which you know, Massa, is a pretty long time to serb the Lord on this earth, My health is now much better than it war some ten years since, and I manage to make a little ‘exchange’ by poking up rags, sawing wood, and the like easy work, Icame to dis*town about five years since, and hab done tolerably well, although sometimes I’se not had enough to quench my hunger; but den I say [ must not complain, as dese sufferings am nothen to what our Great Massa endured dat we might lib forever. “Often I say to myself, without any ane bearing me, if de good kind white people knew what an ol man libed right down here near dem that they Would not allow me to suffer, Massa, you had better belebe dat dis old heart war glad when good massa Linkum set all the colored folks free, and I prayed for him for hours, and when I heard dat some scoun- drei had manasifated (assassinated) nim, I almost grieved to death, for I war afraid dat my poor people Would again hab to be in poadags ‘Such is the simple narrative of this extraordinary old man, who can be seen at any time at his house, the entrance of which 1s by an ali eer on the north side of Sixth, a few doors east of Central avenue. In these degenerate .of common effeminacy rarely do we have the pleasure of seeing one whose days on earth have been lengthened out to almost five score Years and ten, We hope that the charitable of our city will give the old man only the (ota each from their extensive stores, 80 that his few remaining days may be spent in comfort and plenty rather than in hunger and want. PUBLIC EDUCATION. The System in the Metropuiis—Reopening of the ‘ichools. Of all the local legislative bodies there is none which can exercise so much influence on the future welfare of the metropolis, and, perhaps, of the entire country, as that board having charge of the public education. The influence which it exercises may not be felt directly, but by properly training and developing the youthful, mind of the metropolis it can give to the nation intelligent and high minded citizens. Such citizens make good public officers; and with men of culture in oficial positions and dealing with intelligent citizens the progress of the nation cannot be doubted. Unfortunately, now, ig- norance, impudence, chicanery and corruption are the distinguishing characteristics of the majority of our wunicipal managers; and when we reflect that they owe their elevation to omce for the most part to the influence of money or muscle, and the happy faculty of know- ing nothing of respectability or refinement other than can be learned tn fashionable bagnios or faro banks, it is cheering to think that a body of gentle- men can be found by whom the management of the schools is undertaken and carried on as a labor of love. Repeated efforts have been made to interfere with the condnet of the school system by corrupt officials, disappointed politicians aud mathemati- cians whose calculations might take rank with Mr. Depew's census. But notwithstanding the attacks, open and covert, which have been made, the duties devolving upon the board have been faithfully and successfully attended to, and the resnlt is that the system of public education in this city 13 such that it may be peinted to with becoming pride by all rigut- minded citizens of the meiropolis. After a recess of seven weeks’ duration the schools throughout the city will be reopened to-morrow morn ing and the cares and studies for another year be entered upon by the teachers and the pupils. In this connection, therefore, it may not be uninteresting to know what has been done and what is being done to enhance the value of our school system, and to ren- der those connected with the schools comfortaile and contented. THE SCHOOL SYSTEM has been highty compliment ‘A special commititee of the State Legislature, which was appointed to ter- ret out the alleved inefficiency and profiigacy of the management, and the failure of the system to achieve all that it had been designed for. Most glowing eu- logiums have been passed upon it by educational committees from the princ!pal cities of the United diates, and even from Europe, and a committee from the city of Boston, after visiting the schools and examining the system, made it the sub- ject of a lengthy report. This committee, ing composed of gentlemen of the highest stand- ing in Boston, gave in their report a clear outline of our system, and showed that they had carefully studied its pecullaritics and its excellences ; and their opinions on the subject are entitied to some weight, They recognized in the office of the Clerk of the Board the eMstent simplification of the entire system of business management which at first ap- pears so complicated, and they juatly say:— That his office ts the centre around which the whole work revolves, the point from which essentially everything ema- nates, and to which ft returns; and the returns are required to be made go full and precise, and the record of them ke 80 perfect aud su arranged, that it {s possible to obtain at the Clerk's office at any time all the essential facts in relation to every school. oe regard to the educational portion of the work t! s ey — Au the Clerk's office fs the centre of the material adminta- tration of the New York system, so the Superintendent's oflice f ite intellectual and mora’ efliciency. And It the Clerk of hat the New ‘texternal, ite ‘i ure in the New Y that the course of Instruction Is indiented by the subject of study and not by text books. There is no uniformity of text dooks, The Local Committee, the trustees in each ward, order the use of such as they may select from the list permit” ted by the Board of Education, and they are sometimes sitni- lar and someti it In different schools. But the Board of Education yursued by the diferent grades, and these are uniform in all Bie grades and in all the schools: and as the programme of instraction and study {s thus indicated by subjects, the exam} ation ia by subjects and not by text hooks, and fs conducted by experts—by the Superintendent and his assistants—that Is, by persons who are masters of the subject and care nothing t particular text books. This system of instructing by subjects and not by books, the report says, “seems to be giving to the New York schools a remarkabie degree of uni- formity and a steady progress in each school.” THE SCHOOLS under the charge of the Board, during the past year, were 94 In number and comprised 137 separate de- ments, a3 follows: rammar schools for boys, 4; for giris, 45; for both sexes, 7; aeeery Capere: ments, 55; distinct primary schools, 36, hese, together with the evening, corporate and norm: schools, make the total number of schools under the direction of the Board 260, The work performed at these several schools during the year ending Decem- ber S1, 1867, may be adjudged from the following table Average Whole No, Aitndanee, Ta: Grammar sctoola—boys’ department... 16,05 Grammar schools—gite’ department... 18,490 Grammar achools—primary deparsnent 3,094 Primary schools... fe, 16,458 Schools.
