Kernan, clerk to the Board of Education, com- municated to Vicar General Quinn the tnforma- tion that the Board had appointed its committee, and was now ready to hear who the commitiee On the other side were, and to appoint such a time for conference as the gentlemen acting in vehal! of the parochial schools might appoins. fhe names of the committee trom the Board of Education are:—President Netlson, Commissioners Weimore, Baker, Farr, Vermilyea, Kelly and Cownsend. No announcement has yet been made ot the names of tne gentlemen selected by Vicar General Quinn. SUPERINTENDENT KIDDLE INTERVIEWED. A HREALD reporter called yeaterday at the hall the Board of Education, and had a conversation with Mr. Kiddle, city Superintendent of Public Scnools. Mr. Kiddle expressed himself as being entirely unabdie to speak authoritatively concern- ‘mg the communication of Vicar General Quinn. That paper, he said, merely askea {or @ Joint com- Mittee of conference, and until the friends of the parochial schools stated what they wanted it would be useless to make any surmises, He did Rot believe that the Commissioners nad attempted to anticipate what might ve the concessions asked for. Probably much would have to be said about the religious instruction in the scnools, the ap- pointment of teachers, and an arrangement as to the school butidings now owned by the par- Ishes. There could be no question about the re- fusai of the Board to allow any form of religious Mnstroction during the regular school hours desig- mated by the Board, and the only question then frould be as to such instruction before or after school hours, He could not anticipate mucn trouble on this point, The truth was that it had been the custom of the Board to allow any relig- fous denomination to use the sehool buildings at ours otner than those desigmatea by the Board for the regular secular education whenever re- quested for religious instruction or exercises. This custom was not exclustve, and the Rev. Dr. Brann at one time availed himself of it. There sed to be, however, some little trouble about the cost of fuel and gas on these occasions, and for this reason the Committee on Buildings finally determmed to discontinue it. But he could NOt see What obdjection could be raised to allowing religious instruction in the parochial school build- | la: ings at any time and gs often as it was deemed ad- "isable after the regular school hours, The Com- missioners of Education were bound by laws which they could not violate, and one of the most \mportant of these was the absolute prohipition of denominational religious instruction @uring she regular school hours, As to ‘the appointment of teachers there might be, he thought, some difi- culty, but still aot a very serious one. The Board, Of course, Would insist that their officers should eXamine teachers as to their competency for ap- polotment, but he did not believe. 11 the teachers Selected by the friends of the parochial schools Were found to be competent, that they would, by any means, be rejected. Tue trustees under the Board had the power of appointing teachers, if | Shey were competent for the duties. 4 LEGAL DIFFIOULTY, Here, however, arose @ difficulty apon whieh he @id not Wish to touch, and one that, no doubt, the ions committee would becaled upon to conside: hen the new uptown district was admitted searly all the teachers were still Whether the friends uf the paro districts in which parochial schools are located, or would demand that trustees for each schoel should be appointed, he, of course, couid not determine, [n regard to the paroci school buildings Mr. Kiddle said that ior his part ne did not see why | she school nalls could not be leased at a rental covering the actual time in waich they would be {n use for school purposes under the com scnool system. At the expiration of time the buildings could be used for auy other purpose, whether it was = for feligious instruction, lectures or for any iaudable object. But everything in counection with the school rooms should be in periect accord with the public school system. ne books used should be those authorized by tue Commissioners. Perhaps some Of the books now in use in the parochial schools might be retained, bat for this purpose the express sanction of Commissioners should be ebtained. Mr. Kiddie stated that the idea of harmonizing all tne school interests in the city pleased him mucn, and he thought that the desire of the com- munity was that on this point there should be no | confict of opinion. It was true, however, that many legal onjections to the merging of the two systems might crop up to hincer the settlement in the immediate future; yet a jommt committee of conference was a step in the right direction, not wn excellent ten. | dency, In his long experience of the public school system he had never known of a single instance in which tne particular religion of @ teache: ee ee or promotion.

THE MINORITY REPORT. The following was the minority repert:— To the Boaxp or Epucario!

Itis equally clear, frown the religious character ot the managers and porate th directors of the institutions known as cor- schoois, as well as from tne tt others; but that the training and education of the children com: mitted to the care of these institutions partake ofa de- nominational bias cag hardiy admit of a doubt. ° Of School Trustees, and ne was glad taat this re- cent prcof of faith in the public school system had occurred, VIEWS OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

We do not find fault with this. It is beiter for society that these chilaren should be so bronght up.

For taese reasons the motion was denied, Some days ago Judge Lawrence, of the Supreme Court, granted an attachment against certain pro- perty belonging to Laiayette Gram, against whom the United States had brought suit to recover $25,000 for the non-payment of duties. An applica- ton was made yesterday on behal! of the defend. ant, before Judge Donohue, holding Supreme Court, Chambers, for an order vacating the at- tachment. Counsel for Graff claimed that the aM™- davits furnished by the plaintiffs did noc suficientiy show the canse of action, and that the State courts had no jurisdiction to enforce the Revenue laws. Tne Court took the papers, reserving its decision. William Starrin and Christian Granry, under examination for seiling cigars without a license, were yesterday aiscnarged by Commissioner Shields, the proot being insufficient to hold them, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. * Before Judge Blatchford.

COUR’ MARINE —PART 2 Before Chiei Justice Shea, BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE Case, Jerome Jones vs. Victor Goldstein.—Tnis was an | action for alleged breach of promise of marriage, damagea being laid at $10,000, and brought into this Court under the Trarsier act, The parties are both youny, the order of seniority being, uow- ever, reversed, toe lair plaintiff’ being twenty- one, while the defendant claims te be only nine- teen and @ minor; he, however, looks much older. The principals in the suit are and ali of toe witnesses of the same /aitn, mapy of them speaking Engiish so very imperiectly that their testimony had to be taken through an interpreter. Evidence as to the promise Of marriage, and the time fixea thereior was full and apparentiy conclusive enough. The day was pamed and the fair expec- tant, ber relatives and Iriends were all invited to the ceremony and to partake of the marriage feast, which was prepared regardless of expense. The detendant admitted his courtship of Jenny; that he haa made her presents at various times, amounting in value to $20; that he went to par- ties with her, where the coming marriage was 4 subject of common conversation, but he testified | that ge declared he would not marry her tour weeks before the day that Jenny and her friends nad Oxed upon for the marriage. Un this point he was supported by witnesses, The question Was raised ag to his age and his responsipilities tuereunder, and on this point he gave testimony to controvert evidence for the plaintiff that he bad offered a Mr. Golabeck money to say he was not nineteen years old. He denied generally any promise of marriage. The case 1s still on. MARINE COURT—PART 3. A CONTRACT MADE BY KEEPERS OF DISREPUTA- BLE HOUSES NOT LEGAL, Before Judge Joachimsen. Henrietta Gaismer vs, Adam Scammiter.—The | plaintim® leased of the defendant premises No, 157 Chatham street, a concert saloon, and purchased the fixiures therein at $1,400, paying cash $200 and giving a chattel mortgage on the Ox- tures for the balance, and agreeing to pay $100 ® month anti the whoie of the purchase money was paid, Afier six months’ occupation by plaintif some of the waiter girls empioyed in the saloon were arrested and commucted to prison, Whereupon the plaintiff de- livered the key of the saloon 10 che defendant, and iniormed mim that country, Sbe did so into the country, where she remained six Weeks, and ou her return demanded Of the plaintiff possession of the saloon, The de- Jendant informed her that on her failure to pay | her monthiy instalment he bad advertised the fx- tures to be sold at auction, upon whicn she offered DISCHARGES FROM ARREST. An important decision was given yesterday by | Judge Larremore, of the Court of Common Pieas, ia @ case brought vefore him at Special Term. James W. Mudgett, in a suit brought by Aaron Appleton, Was arrested on an execution issued in | the action, @nd aiter bis arrest failing to bave bis | bail justify was detained in custody of ve | Sneruf, He tuen got his discharge in in- solvency proceediogs, excepting his body irom ' execution, under the statute authorizing that to Larremore to have the execution superseded on | account of the discharge in the insolvency pro- ceedings. Juage Larremore gave his decision ia the case yesterday, He holds that he cannot grant a discharge of this kind in a collateral pro- ceeding except ior some jurisdictional detect ap- parent On Its lace; thatun the motion papers such delect appeared, tue discharge not reciting service upon the creditors, e1taer personally or by mail asrequired by statute, and that jor this reason the application must be devied. As tue point is @n important one and invoiving the question ot | personal iiberty we give in iull the opinion of sudge Larremore, | The defendant was arrested and is now in custody under mesne process issued in this action ov September 6, 1874. On December 21, 1874, he presented his petition in pursuance of the statute in relation to “voluntary as- siguments by an insolvent for the purpose of exonert ing his person trom imprisonment id such proceed. ings were thereupon had.

The | detendant now applies for release from arrest in this | action by reason of his said discharge. It is well settled by authority that a discharge of this character cannot be impeached collaterally except, tor some jurisdictional defect.
