When the .Board of Trustee* fead appealed to the Council to sustain their action, and Mr. DoWliiTQ had put his resolutions through that body, we admitted that the contest was ended and, as we supposed, laid the subject aside to rest until some good could be accomplished by its further discussion. Mr.

sired to revive it and we gave him the use of oar columns, as courtesy required. That having been done, wa supposed the twieeburied topic might be permitted to rest. But its ghave is again opened and Mr.

DoWLISG

again plies his probe.

In what we fcave to say of Mr. Do^rixjro's article—which we print this morn--icg—all possible brevity will be employed! The whole question has been thoroughly discussed in these oolumnp, and no one has attempted to .assail the positions taken, or to refute the arguments advanced.

Oar correspondent asserts that we have given up the Superintendent and "whistled him down.Jbe wind That is

The Board of Trustees based tbe»r-«otidD on the ground of economy, admitting t&e ability and efficiency of the Superintendent. The

and not the

cessful,

officer

The greater portion of Mr. Dowturb's communication is dsvoted to a labored attempt to show that the office of Superintendent is not provided for by the statutes of Indiana. This is the "old, old story." Prom a remote period in the history of the Democratic party, its lead* era have never been able to find laws for anything but the support of slavery, se» cession and other criminal institutions and ideas. It was "u-n-k-a-w-n«s.t-i-t-u» t-i-o-n-a-1" to suppress the rebelllion and there has been neither law nor constitu tlon foranythiog that has been done by the Republican party since that time.

We shall not waste time, nor tire our readers with a discussion of the question which Mr.

DoWling

finds so absorbing

It is enough for us to know that the law admits of a construction that will author* ize tbe employment of a Superintendent A11 the other cities in Indiana, with, per* haps, a single exception, have such an officer. The beat jurists in the State, including Gov.

Conrad Bakeb,

The united opinion of

say that

the office of Superintendent of Graded Schools in towns and cities is recognized by tbe School Law of Indiana, and thnt as the utility and necessity of such an officer have beon demonstrated by long experience in the practical working of the school system, they believe such an officer is legal and necessary.

We prefer to go with liberal construe tionist? in the paths of progress, to inquire what good the la*»asy be

made to undo.

all practical educa»

tors is in favor of tbe superintendency of city schools, and we have no doubt that Mr.

Dowlikg,

himself, believes in thene*

cessity of such an office. A man of his intelligence cannot be so blind as to doubt what experience—«ttd observation have demonstrated to all inquiring mindf among his cotemporaries.

JtrLT, 1867, a sportsman ofltfew York city went to Columbia county, i^ that State, and shot woodcock in viola* tion of law. Proceedings were oon» menced against him, which have juA terminated, resulting in a verdict against defendant for $150 and costs. These amounts the sportsman will have to pay or else go to prison. We agree with the New York

Thesubject

of reform in Insane Aiy

lums is being largely discussed at present. The latest movement regarding them is jund in the action of the Massachusett! Legislature. A bill has been introduced into that body to appoint a Commissioner of Lunacy and Pauperism, whose duty it shall be to visit all pubiio and private hospitals for the insane, to examine patients, hear oomplaints, and with the cooperation of the Board of Public Charities, to

redress any apparent wrongs.

There do not appear to be any very satisfactory elements of progress in this act, so far as we can see, for commissioners are notoriously apt to become mere machines, doing their appointed tasks methodically, and with the least trouble and annoyance to themselves. While the greatest help should be constantly extended to the superintendents of asylums for the insane, by the

State,

to enable

them to effect tLe restoration of their patients' reason, the law should primarily protect all sane persons from being im* properly incarcerated.

The language of tbe auctioneer and the amount bid are bath instructive There are in this living two churches to serve, a mile and a half apart. The income of the reotor is £708 ($3 540] per year. The auctioneer stated that tbe society was good, and the hunting very fair. One hundred pounds would pay for a curate to do the visiting of the sick, burying the dead, eta, and the rector would have a clear income of £600 ($3,000). The highest bidder reached £4,800 ($24,000), which sum not being deemed sufficient, the living was withdrawn unsold.

ibat the velocipedomania epidemic has abated its distressing ravages.

But I understand now, for the first, time your position on the School question, ac cording to your editorial of Saturday morn ing. I hope, it will, not be cha§ged before an opportunity shall occur to test the value of your positioii You say, in that article, that you never "contended for the retention in office of the Superintendent of the City Schools"—that you wanted the office and not the officer." Then, Mr. Editor, you are cooteadiag ior a phantom—for what does not exist. I am informed that fully half of those who signed the petition to the School Board say as you do—that "the office and not the officer" was the propelling cause of them Bigning tbe paper I do not question your motive on this But let us come to the point at issue—the point made by yourself—the office.

Is there such an "officer"' as Superin intendent of City Schools created by the School Law of Indana, or any other Law You have given up the 'officer," and whis tied him down the wind. The late Su per intendent finds no champion in the editor of the

Express.

The School Jaw of 1865, amended in 1867, thus defines the duties of Township and city trustees: "Sec. 10. The Trustees shall take charge of the educational affairs of their reepeotive townships, towns and cities, employ teachers, and shall establish and locate, conveniently, a sufficient number of schools for the education of the white children therein, and build or otherwise provide suitable houses, furniture, appar at us, and

PoVKBoT may think the vote of Indiana void, but the question rests with Congress to decide, and its decision is hardly doubtful. Then mora States are wanted.

Under the phrase "Educational Appliances" we bave reared up a system which the law-makers of Indiana never Contemplated.

Man Stoned to Death in llarlom by his Enemies—Inexplicable Conduct of the Relatives.

On Thursday afternoon a'laboringtean named Kelly, a resident of this city, was stopped at the Debrosaes strpet furry, on this side, by one of the offioials of the Health Board, who questioned him closely as to the contents of a suspicious looking box which he had brought trom New Jersey. Tbe man did not.hesitate to say, in answer to questions propounded, that the box contained the remains of his brother, who bad died in Newark two days before. Upon this statement the officer informed Kelly that he must get a permit from the Board of Heallb, before he could carry tbe body through the city. Kelly accordingly went to Dr. Harris' office, and there receiyed tbe necessary permit to take the remains to Harlem butwa9 informed that burial would not be allowed until certain mysterious statements which be had made, were judicially cleared up. It appeared from what be said, that on the evening of the 2d of May last, tbe deceased, whose name was Hugh, and who resided in 113th street, was assaulted while walking in Second Avenue, in ownpany wish ayouog lady, by three men who were jealous of the lady's favor. They showered |him with large stone?, one of which struck him upon the bead and de' prived him of consciousness. Tbe assail ants then ran away, ah dassistan'ce hav ing be3n obtained, the injured man was taken to bis dwelling, where he. remained until three days before his,death when strange to say, he was trans' ferred to Newark, and there died. Sub sequent occurrences have already been stated. It is probable that the Newark Coroners will investigate the case^ at once. The guilty parties will certainly be arrested, as they are well known-by the young woman who was with themur dered man at the time be was stoned.— Theconduict of the relatives of the man is quite inexplicable, and will remain bo un til investigated by a Cooner's jury.—N.
