than appears on the surface. It indicates the spirit that ruled our State Department during our civil war struggle for national existence. This department was essentially monarchical in all its governmental hopes, and was disposed to lend aid to everything which directly or re- motely promised empire. Mr. Seward had been privileged at one time to be face to face with an emperor, and he always boasted of it and counted it the happiest moment of his life. There are indications that the now retired old man left an influence behind him in the State Department which still bows to royalty. The best proof of this is that we treat Spain as if she were our master, to whom we owe all allegiance. We permit monarchical Europe to hold Cuba, and Cuba is a ceaseless threat against republican America, The Public School BII—A New Board of Education. The bill for the abolition of the present Board of Education, and authorizing the Mayor to appoint a new one, has passed both houses of the Legislature and awaits only the signature of the Governor to become a law. As no one anticipates a veto it may, we sup- pose, be regarded as practically a law already. By the bill the power of the board to purchase new school sites and to remove teachers is limited, since to do either of these things a two-thirds vote is now necessary. But the great feature of the bill is its provision for the future choice of Commissioners of Educa- tion on the plan now in operation in the choice of Supervisors. This plan has not worked very well in regard to Supervisors—it has not improved the character of that board ; yet it has in its favor the argument that theoreti- cally it provides for the rights of minorilies, and prevents the absolute supremacy of a party. Seven commissioners are to be voted for on each ticket, and of the seven beaten five are to be subsequently appointed by the Mayor, to make upa board of twelve. The firat election under this law will bein 1871. In the meantime the bill legislates the present board out of existence at once, and empowers the Mayorto appoint a new board to serve till the first election. The only restriction is that he shall recognize the principle of the representation of the minority contemplated ‘by the bill. He must therefore appoint seven democrats and five republicans. He has put upon him by this law a great responsibility, and we have no fear that he will abuse it or betray the confidence of the Legislature. He must appoint first class men. He cannot go wrong if on the democratic side he begins with such a name as that of Isaac Bell, and keeps on with names worthy to bear it com- pany. Another good name would be that of Denning Duer. We think he should not omit the present President of the Board, Mr. Lar- remore. He should give us such republicans as Isaac Sherman and Horace Greeley. He may by such a use of his power give us reason to réjoice at the passage of a law that people looked upon rather with fear than hope. Creation of Life Peernges in England. The proposal to create life peerages in Eng- land, according to the bill recently introduced in the House of Lords by Earl Russell, is not altogether new, for a similar proposition was made a few years ago, but it is a notable sign of the political revolution going on in Great Britain. Even England, the most con- servative of nations, and the English people, the slowest to move, feel the irresistible im- pulses of the age. Though they move, as the mighty glaciers of the Alps, an inch at a time, they cannot resist the superincumbent pressure of modern liberalism .and the equalizing ten- dencies of modern civilization. The princi- ples of political equality inaugurated in the eighteenth century, and successfully carried out in this great American republic, are pro- ducing a radical change in England and on the European Continent generally. Steam power and the magnetic telegraph have given within the last few years an ‘extraordinary impetus to the ideas of political and re- publican equality. The idea of a life peerage naturally follows the late reform movement in England and must lead to still greater changes. The hereditary peerage has always been the greatest obstacle to political progress and the enfranchisement of the masses, and the cre- ation of a life peerage, though seeming to us Americans a slow and short step towards a strictly popular government, would be in England a great stride in popularizing its in- stitutions. The statesmen of England, who, for the most part, belong to the aristocratic class, are sagacious enough to see the ne- cessity of yielding to popular rights and the spirit of the age. Hence Earl Russell, one of the old Bedford family, has taken the ini- tiative in the new movement, and Lord Derby, the head of the almost regal aristocracy of the house of Stanley of Derby, approves of it. Earl Russell was one of the original reformers and associated with Earl Grey, as Lord John Russell, in carrying the Reform bill of 1830. For a long time afier, however, he resisted any further reform or concession of the fran chise, and was dubbed for this conservatism “Finality Russell.” He seems disposed now to take a fresh start, partly with a view, per- haps, of cutting in between the present ad- ministration party and the extreme tory party, to reach the power of office again, and partly because he sees the necessity of making repairs, in order to save what can be saved of the old aristocratic government ma- chine. Slow as England is to move from her old conservative moorings, and reluctant as her governing class may be to yield to popular ideas, she cannot resist the impulses of the age, and is moving more rapidly every day in the way of a peaceful revolution, to be initiated perhaps by the abolition of hereditary peerages, Cheap Telegraphy in the West. The multitadinons interests in the West which are oppressed by the Eastern monopoly of telegraphic communication in the United States are moving ina practical way to remove the shackles which are now imposed on the electric transmisston of intelligence. An asso- elation has been formed in Michigan for the construction of lines of telegraph over that State, and similar movements are in process in the States of Indiana and Missouri. {it is proposed that messages shall be transmitted by the People’s line at postal telegraph rates— that is, at twenty cents for twenty words for any distance undor five hundred miles—and the Dartios in the movement expect to be ready to NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, ask from Congress, when it meets in Decom- ber, for the passage of a telegraph ‘postal law, at rates five cents lower than the tariff’ quoted above for twenty words, Upon every branch of trade and production cheap telegraphy will exercise the most bene- ficial influence. The greatest patrons of the telegraph to-day are the merchants and traders, and wherever there is no competition in electric transmission of intelligence they are taxed almost to the point of prohibition for their despatches. Place in the hands of our mercantile community the proper facilities for daily correspondence by telegraph, at rea- sonable rates, between the centres of goods djstribution and the great centres of produc- tion, and that fact alone doubles the capacity of every qrader to transact business without an increase of capital and proportignately re- duces the cost of goods to the consumer. She movement in the West for cheap telegraphy is a movement in the right direction and cannet fail to accomplish great public and private good. ALLEGED BURGLAR CAUGHT. A Detective in Arresting an ex-Convict Has a Tussle for His Pains—A Good Arrest. Last Monday eventng Mrs. Ellen Carroll, of No. 549 Grand street, on returning from a visit to some friends, discovered that her apartments had been broken into, and on entering her room was very much astonished to find bureaus, trunks and drawers scattered about in no inviting profusion, and in the midst of the whole scene of disorder a strange man. Almost frightened out of her wits, she made a move as if to go out of the door, when the man caught hold of her by the throat, knocked her down and beat her untii she became senseless. On recovering her consciousness she at gnce re- paired to the Eleventh precinct station house and informed Captain Walsh of what had happened and gave him an accurate de- scription of the scoundrel who had treated her in so brutala manner. The case was placed in the hands of detective McKeever by the captain, with orders to leave nostone unturned until he had got hold of the man, if that were at all possible. Me- Keever during Tuesday and Tuesday evening worked zealously to discover the whereabouts of the man, but was unsuccessful. Yesterday, however, he came upon a man named William Connor rather un- expectedly in a liquor store corner of Montgomery and Monroe streets, where the fellow was enjoying himself im the usual way of violent anti-temper- ance folks, The officer at once recognized him as the man described by Mrs. Carroll, and also as a graduate of the State Prison, which insti- tution he left about four weeks ago. Con- nor espied the officer even before the latter had espied him, and, as was quite natural under the circumstances, endeavored to increase the distance between himself and the detective by a very rapid flight. McKeever, how- ever, was upon him before he was able to leave the store and # hand to hand struggle took place, during which a man in the saloon seized hold of a chair and in attempting to strike the detective with it, missed his aim and floored Connor, ‘The latter quickly regained his feet and dashed into the yard in the rear of the store, hoping probably to make good his escape by leaping over the fences and concealing himself mone of the adjoining alleys. McKeever followed him, and, drawing — his revolver, aimed it at his head, telling him at the same time that if he did not surrender he would blow his brains out. Connor thought that to sur+ render would be rather more conducive to his health than to have his cranium blown to splinters, so hi surrendered. On his person were found a val broche shawl, four lace handkerclilets and an assort- ment of skeleton keys. On being confronted with Mrs. Carroll he was at once identified by her as the man who had beaten her, and by two other ladies in the house No. 649 Grand street as @ man wh 1 seen ou Monday evening enter Mrs. Car apartments, Connor wili be introduced to a police magistrate to-day.

As Spyder had lost the night before, in the contest with Deery, the odds were against him. Up to the fourth string it was an even thing, when Snyder took the lead, which he kept to the end of the game, which he won, the score standing 1,200 to 882. Snyder's average was 17!;, and his best run was 144. Foster's highest run was 96. Foster played so poorly in the estimation of many that thay left in disgust. In the evening the game was between two Chicago men, Rudolph and Rhimes. Mr. Phelan acted as referee, The game was opened by Rudolph ina manner that indicated the very highest confidenc in his ability to win the game. He not only had such a degree of self-confidence, but the bad taste to clap his hands when his competitor had the mis- fortune to send the ball into the pocket at the next shot after he had made a ren carrom round the table. ‘The audience by Rudolph for this. On his third inning Rhines had a run of 148, and when at last he was foliowed by Rudolph the latter stopped and offered to bet that he woula win the ie. At this time such was the confidence the audience had in Rhines that a half dozen men stepped forward and put up money, but Rudolph failed to cover it, and had the chagrin of having to submit to the jeers of the spectators. For a few innings after this Rudolph got the advantage of his adversary in a manner that seemed te justify hie confidence, and en the second string Was turned the score st in his favor, 204 tol ‘The fortunes of the game again shified, and the third string showed Rhunes one ahead: the , thirteen ahead, The fifth was also in luis favor, to 307, aS Was the next, 617 to 468, At this point the scales turned opain, arid the suc- ceeding etring Indicated 524 for Rudolph to 517 for Rhines. Khines, however, picked up agam, and when the nmnth string was turned his score stood against 678. Up to the twelfth string Rudolph h: not made a single run of a 100, while Rhines’ score showed 148, 100, 111. Rudoiph, however, had twice got points, but some unlucky — ¢ireum- Stance exch prevented his going — be. yond that Yet, notwithstanding th: he nad piter average runs th Rhines, and the e stood im his favor, 820 to siz. From this point the interest in the game wreatiy increased, aud the issue of it seemed to tremble ina far more uncertain balance then at its commencement. At first ry one was ready to risk their money on Rhines, but towarda the last his goolt Iuck seemed to have deserted him. in his forty-fifth mning Rudoiph again made 99, and as he was about to make his next shot the interest in the ume was the greatest it had been at any time thus far. The shot was made, and, unitke his two pre- vious attempts, if Was a success, The applause that greeted the player at this point was the greatest of the evening. Before he made a misshot ne ran up his score to 150, the highest figure of the game, On his forty-seventh inning he made 117, at which time the score stood in his favor 1,195 to It Was now beyond all question that he would win the gat nd the audience be- gan to leave. Shines, ho had one more chance, and, nothing disheartened, he tried what he could, and made arun of $1. He was followed by Rudolph, who, of course, won the game, the score standing—Rudolph 1,200 to 1,004 for Rhines. The latter averaged 21 and a fraction, and the former a little over ‘The score was as follows:— i Rudolph--0, 16 16, 3, 0, 6, 0, 15, 3, 4. 54, 0, 75, 15, 0, 3, 1, 3, 1, 28, 6, 99, 15, 0, 13, 24, 1 Rhines—0, %, 148, 3, 0, 18, 12, 0, 3, 70, 100, 0, 3, 3, 3, 6, 10, 7, 0, 9, 0, 3, SI, ly 6, 1, 15, 30, 111, 0, 69, 3, 0, 30, 6, 15, 51, 9, 30, 81.
