If the Quaker City is anything 1¢ is high-toned, It has more blue blood than Boston, and is quite as much given over to s regard for the proprieties, ence society is easily shocked. Just now we are shocked. The gossips are in clover. Philadelphia 1s an educational centre. We have all kinds of schools, good, bad and indifferent. Bat we are, perhaps, most noted for a pumber of institutions denominatea ‘finish- ing schools” for girls. They abound, in fact they may be said to super-abound; and they grow popular year by year. They are Amatitations, as your readers know, designed to afford young ladies an opportunity of going to school without bothering their heads over books. They thus supply 4 crying want in society. Young ladies taught manners and every finishing touch is afforded. One of the “institutes even instructs in tne science of getting in and out of a carriage gracefully, and, believing in the virtue of much practicing, Iam told an unused coach has been provided in the back yard of the school, ‘where the young ladies can spend certain portions Of the day in acquiring this and other accomplish- ments, Of course such institutions are in all respects Orat class, beyond the suspicion of anything going amiss within their vestal halls. Well, there has been a lively commotion in a certain one not many blocks from Spruce street, nevertheless, Not long ago an elderly gentleman drove up to the @oor, disembarked his trunks and introduced his “daughter” to the matron. The daughter w: tall and handsome, tastefully dressed and prom- ised to be quite a popular pupil. In fact, just such @ one as the preceptress could take a pride in Sending forth to the world finished for society. So when the father wanted to put her at the @chool she was gladly accepted, both for these reasons and for pecuniary considerations, Then the father said goodby, and after leaving special instructions in regard to the care over the young girl drove away. Next aroom was selected for her in company, of course, with the usual number ofroom mates. Several days passed by; the new- comer was growing very popular witn the other xirls as well as with the teachers, Her wardrobe ‘was extensive, her manners attractive, and there seemed to be a certain charm about her that alt recognized, but none could explain. She herself seemed happy, her disposition was pleas- ant and she Jaughed a great deal. Some- Jimes the girls couldn't understand why she laughed; but a slight explanation satisfied, Well, a month passed away; the young lady was a great favorite, hardly less so with all the girls than with her roommates, andsne was becoming quite accomplished. But one day she sent a trunk off for some reason and pretty soon she leit quietly nerself. Most of the househola ‘were astonished, and immediately the alarming atory spread that she waen’t a girl at all. The | teachers tied to hush it up, but it wouldn’t be hushed. The roommates of the decamped young lady were besieged for information. Then the story got out of the school, it has been verified, and the result) hag been a perceptible commotion in society. circles. There,is, 1am told, no doubt that a bold and au- Gacious fraud has been perpetrated on the mana- gers of the school and a smooth-iaced youth of about twenty introduced into the boudoirs of a fashionabie young ladies’ seminary. Any wonder a@sensation should ensue? ‘The Scamp has not , been captured, and probably will not be, owing to a desire toavoid publicity in the matter on the part of the discreet, but nevertheless greatly irri- tated, matrons of the school. 1 have not been able to get the full particulars, and it would be im- Proper to mention the name of the school; but enough has leaked out to warrant thus much, and { if there are any further developments you may be further postec. This is given on the best au- thority. The roommates are Je/t in a particularly embarrassing position; but they have much sym. | pathy, and I have heard and hope to hear no un- charitavle insinuations, THE MUNICIPALITY. Alleged Charter Muddle on the Mayor- alty—Corporation Counsel Smith’s Opinion of the Law—Mayor Vance’ Position—The Presidency of the Board of Aldermen, é&c. There was considerable discussion around the departments in connection with the technical point said to have been discovered in the charter relative to the Mayoralty succession. Whatever construction may be given to the law, Mayor Vance asserts that he willnot, under any circum- stances, take advantage 80 as to prolong his term after the ist of January. The supposed stupidity of our legislators in leaving a loophole for sucn a contingency as Mayor Vance holding over until the ‘1st of January, 1876, has caused much indignation. 4 HERALD representative. yesterday called upon Mr. E, Delafield Smith, Counsel to the Corporation, in order to ascertain his views upon so important @ subject. As the city’s law adviser his opinion must necessarily be of weight. He was inter- viewed as follows REPORTER—An ingenious argument has ap- peared in print to the effect that under the law as it stands Mayor Vance may hold his office until the Ast of January, 1876, or, in other words, not only fora month, but fora year additional. What are your views on those poivts? Mr. SmMirH—There is no doubt that in the char- ter itself as finally passed, and on the 30th day of April, 1873, approved by the Governor, a serious verbal mistake was made with regard to tne Mayor’s tenure of office in case of vacancy. The material part of section 21 of this charter, so far gs it bears upon the point in question, and leay- ing out mere verbiage, is as follows:—‘‘Whenever the Mayor shall be under suspension or there shall be a vacancy in the office, or whenever, by reason of sickness or absence from the city, he shall be prevented from attending to the duties, the Presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen ehall act as Mayor, and possess all the rights and powers of tne office during such suspension, disability or absence. In case of a vacancy he snail so act ‘until the first Monday of January succeeding the | next general election, and at the general election | next to be held at which a Mayor can be chosen, a Mayor shall be chosen for the unexpired term for Which such officer was chosen, and no special elec- tion shall be held to fill such vacancy.” The criti- cism to which these words are open is apparent, and serious litigations, with very curious results have sometimes taken place upon less formidable dimicuities than these verbal errors might, in the absence of other legislation, give rise to, But it is ‘well settled that the last declaration of the will of the Legislature takes tne place of other statutes Fo to the same subject, It will be remem- bered that after the charter had become 8 law @ serious question was raised as to whetner or not some of its provisions had not absolutely legislated Mayor Havemeyer out of office. Consequently a plementary and independent statute was rua through the two houses and received the sanction of the Governor. The independent statute refer- red to forms section 7 of chapter 757 of the Laws of 1873, The charter is chapter 835. It will be Seen, therefore, that the special law mentioned above was subsequent thereto. This independent enactment as follows:—‘Tae Mayor in omMce on April 29, 1873, shall hold office until the ist day of January, in the year 1875.

Three trotting races came off yesterday after- noon at Fleetwood Park. The track was in very good order after the rains and frosts of the past week, the weather pleasant, and the trotting very good, but the atrendance was quite small. The first event on the card was@ match between Dan Mace’s bay mare Clara G. and running mate and John Murphy’s bay mare Lady Dahiman, under the saddle. Five heats were trotted, the team winning the frst, third and fifth heats.

Lynch’s bay gelding Gen- eral Sherman, P. Fleming’s gray gelding Witlte, Y. Trimble’s brown mare Lady Trimble and J. Murphy’s sorrel gelding Sorrel Jake. Willie was the favorite before the start, Sorrel Jake second choice, the other two selling as a field. General Sherman won the first heat very easily, when Dan Mace took Willie in charge, and then he be- came @ greater favorite than before, General Sherman second choice, with Sorrel Jake and Lady Trimble in the field. General Sherman won the second heat and became the favorite at two to one over the field. He won the third heat and race very handily. ‘The third trot was a sweepstakes for $300, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, The entries were John Murphy’s black geluing Black Hawk, J. P. Deery’s gray gelding Jerry, and J. Haslett’s bay gelding Jericho, There was very little betting on this race, Black Hawk having the cal. He won the race. Jericho was distanced in the sec- ond heat, The following are the SUMMARIES. FLEETWOOD PARK, Dec. 2—Match $500, mile heats, best three in five. Dan Mace’s b. m. ClaraG. and run- ning mate J.

The track was very bad, the frost having been iu the ground and then thawing, rendering it muday and sticky. Four heats were réquired to dectde the event, the Boy winning the first, third and fourth. First Heat.—The betting was even. ‘The Boy won the pole, the worst position, owing to the mud. A fair start was effected the first attempt, but O'Neil leaving his feet on the turn the Boy nad the best of it by two lengths at the quarter pole, in 43% seconds. He held his lead to the nalf mile, in 1:2534, when, the mad and the wagon beginning to tell their story, O’Nell shut up the daylight to one length at the three quarters, from which point they had it nip and tuck all the way home, the Boy passing under the wire the winner of the heat by half alength. Time, 2:513. O'Neil broke three times in the mile, cond Heat,—The Boy selling for $20, O'Neil $10. They got the word the first trial, with the Boy a trifle the best of it, which he made one and a half lengths at the qi Tin 423, seconds.

From the few factthat can be gleaned of the causes leading to'the disgracefal affair it seems that one Farrell, | barkeeper in the employ ofMcer of the Corporation, shall be elected at a meral election and hold bis office for the term of WO years, commencing on the first day of January next after his election. The frat election ior Mayor under this act shall pe at the general elec- tion in November, in the year 1874.’ By this statute Mayor Wickham holds his office, not lor une year, but for two. By this statute also his term to commence on the frst day of January next after is election—to wit, the first day of January, 1875— ‘whereas if we give force to the print we are considering his term woula not commence until the first day January, 1876. and in, as the election for Mayor under the charter was to piace in November, 1874, Mr. Wickham has been, Under this statute, expressly elected for two years, tocommence on the first day of January after jhe late November election. 1 mignt give other Yeasons why, under the true coustruction of the statutes bearing on the subject, the same con- chisions must be reached; but this statute, form- img chapter 757 of the laws of 1873, and distinctly passed alter the charter haa become a law, the subject is relieved of all doubt, and the point may dismissed as worthy of no further notice.

The Frangais publishes some curious details about the stolen chef d@owere :—“St. Anthony was one day reading the Holy Scriptures on his knees in his Franciscan cell when his faith was staggered by & passage of which ne could not seize the hidden meaning. Ho implored the Child-Goa to come down in person to explain it, and the Saviour, yielding to his ardent prayer, deigned to descend, surrounded by & splendid halo and a legion of angels into the aumble abode of the ancnorite. Such is the sudjecs of Murillo’s picture. Nothing can be finer than the supplant expression of the saint or more touching than the divine love which beams from his eyes: nothing more noble than the countenance of the Child-Jeaus, who, whilst pre- serving His delicate features, beara in His aspect a majesty which is not of this world. Théophile Gautier, im his work ‘Tra los Montes,’ says, in peaking of this picture, ‘Never was the magic of ainting carried further.’ ? Seville possesses an- other work of Murillo on the same subject, but in a different stvle. also of immense value. NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. MORE RAILROAD SLAUGHTER, A Coroner’s Jury Censures Contractors for Gross Recklessness—A Schoolboy’s Sad Death. Coroner Woltman hela yesterday an inquest in the case of Cyrus Olmstead, aged fifteen, of No, 112 East 14th street, who was run over and killed | by & gravel train in Fourth avenue, near U2th | street, on November 17. The case was one of Peculiar hardship, tt being clear, from the testi- mony, that the death of this schoolboy, who is the son of highly respectable parents, is undoubtedly due to the reckless carelessness with which these rave? traina are ron im the upper portion of rourtn avenue, The proceedings yesterday were rendered most painful by the presence of the grie!-siricken mother, Whose sobs were audible throughout the taking of the testimony. bye- Witnesses stated that the boys in the vicinity of 1loth street were im the babit of getting on the gravel train. Olmstead also “stole” a ride, and was standing with one foot on one car and the other on the next car, when he fell down between and was run over, The \rain beionged to Dillon, Clyde & Co., of No. 63 East Forty-ninth street, the contractors for the Fourth avenue improvement. The jury, alter loa, and carelul deliberation, found that the boy “die: from injuries received through the carelessness of the company in not having # man stationed upon the train to prevent children irom boarding them.” This verdict was signed by six of the jurors, and only two held that the contractors wore not to be considered responsibie for the bov’s death. Several residents of that vicinity complain bitterly of “the outrageous manner in which the traing are rn,’’ endangering vhe lives Of school children and resulting in frequent ac- cidents and deaths, and one oi them stated yes- terday that he would bring the master before the courts in order to prevent such ‘wholesale rail- road slaughter” in the ture.

All the members spoke on the ques- tion yesterday, and if the indications are re- lable “grace, mercy and peace” will come to the outraged residents of Jersey City Heights, and the Presbyterian Church will be purged of the foul scandal that hasso long agitated the people of a Tespectable community and disgraced the Church, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
