The NormalHchool—A Manift"4 W ant. Experience has clearly shown that, in order to make the J^urmal School a com plete snceestfj by bringing itat advantage, within the Teach* of young mtn and women of very limited means, the Trustees must make some arrangement by which students can obtain board at Ion 6gures. Doubtless many of the students who will attend thin institution will be abundantly able to pay the not unreasonable prices charged for hotel and boarding house accommodations. But there is a large class of young persons in oui State, who desire to become eflicien: teachers, and who have not the mean* to pav even the small profit* that tho^e who take boarders have a right to expect froni their business. They are the BOBS and daughters of farmers and mechanics who earn their money by hard work and spend it sparingly. They are willing to live cheaply, for a few years, while the) obtain an education, and fit themselves for the business, or profession, of the teacher. Many of the most eminent educators have sprung from this class. 1 hey have denied themselves all but the abso» lute necessities of life, depriving their physical nature of everything in the way of luxuries, that they might save-money for intellectual training. They have had the courage to repress the demands of fashion and appetite, in order that they might minister to the higher wants of the mind. Any scheme for furnishing the public schools of our State with the best and most thoroughly trained teachers, that, omits to provide for this class,'cannot be, in Hie highest degree, successlul. We think, therefore, that the Normal School Trustees should make immediate provision for furnishing good, wholesome, plain board, at actual cost, .to ail oil students a? desire it, leaving those who prefer to enjoy better accommodations, to find them at hotels and hrt.irilihpuses. This matter should have been attended to before the pThn for the school building was adopted, and either in that edifice, or near it, arrangements should have been made for a home for the students, with a Matron and Purveyors in charge, where board could be furnished & cost. But itisnfctoo late to supply the deficiency, and we* are sure that it must be supplied if the school is to completely fulfill the purpose for which it was designed.

INSTRCCTIONS FROM SPAIN. The Constitutionel announces that Senor Olazago, Spani.-.h minister, lias received instructions from Spain to give official notice to the French government of the candidature of Prince Leopold.

The Constitutionel adds that when France becomes convinced of the persistence of Spain ih this matter, she will terminate diplomatic relations with her. No definite intelligence has been received from Prussia, but France will not be content with the evasive declarations of Bismarck. Prussia ought in the interest of the peace of Europe to withhold consent for Hohanzallern to it upon the throne of Spain. THE CANDIDATURE OK HI ANZALLERN.

IT IS stated that the boxes which were stolen from the bank in Lafayette, of which we published an account on Thursday morning, were accidently found by a laborer in a ditch near the residence of the President of the bank. The papers, which were of great value, were all recovered. The report that m.iney was taken was incorrect.

From various somi-ofncial journals this morning are gathered th^ following details touching the candidature of Hohan zalleru. General Prim meant hostility when the Spanish gavernment notified the Great Powers of Europe ofthe Hohanzallern candidature. On the 3d of July Prim advised Senor Olazaga, Spanish minister here, that he (Prim) had chosen Prince Leopold, that the Spanish ministry felt assured that the French Government would object to it, but that he depended tipon the higher sentiment of the Emperor. This proves that Gen. Prim meant to act without consent of the latter. France has communicated with other powers of Europe, and in all cases has received word of sympathy. -VII she now seeks at Berlin and Mrdrid is to prevent political complications.

A dispatch recently forwarded to the Spanish Government, by the puke of Grarauioift, has been made public. The Duke says France hope.s Spain will renounce the only candidate for the Throne who is altogether disagreeable. He recalls the sei'vice of the French Govern ment in Spanish affairs, by interdicting plots and arresting invading Carlists, and urges the fact that France aided Spain in the establishment of a provisional Gov* eminent. -No answer has. yet been received'from Prussia since the declaration of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs in the Corps Legislatif a few days ago. On the morning of that day, however, a'dispatch was received from 'Prussia to the effect that that Government knew, nothing Of the candidatute of- Prince Hohanzallern for the throne of Spain. A report seemingly well founded.is in circulation that the Prussian Minister of War has ordered all the general officers of the Prussian army, to rejoin their corps without delay. The Memorial Diplomatiqne says a

French circttlar has been issued-defining the situation. The Madrid Discussion lias an article on the throne question to-day, wherein it says Prince Hohanzallern's qualification0 are indisputable—a beggar himself, lie comes to rale beggars.

The Spever, Bavaria, Gazette says, "after all, he is more a Bonaparte than a Hohanzallern."

THE HOHANZALLEPN AFFAIP.L PARIS, July-8.—Tn the Senate an interpellation has been submitted on the Ilonanzallerp affair,-and the-15th" instant is fixed.as the day for discussion: Nothing 3efiifite'hAcil frota Prussia.

Hatch, of 1'utlalo, author of the canal funding bill, on invitation of the Mayor, Aldermen and in-oniinent ciiizens interested in the future welfare ot the canals, addressed I he meeting. He advised the greatest reticence on the part of the members of the Commercial Union of the State, as to their movements and designs, and especially urged that there be no affiliation with either of the political parties until after the political conventions have been held and platforms promulgated. He did not advise political revolution, but insisted that the interests of canals are paramount to all other considerations.

Additional names were proposed for insertion, among them A. O. P. Nicholson, of Tennessee, in regard to whom it was objected that he left a seat in the United Stales Senate to take part in the rebellion.

The name was finally withdrawn. On motion of Mr. Robertson, a tun her of names were stricken out.

SENATE.

WASHIKOTOK,

Julv 8.

On motion of Mr. McCreery, the bill relieving the political disabilities of some seventy-five Kentuckians wa« taken up.

Various objections were made by Messrs. Howard and Drake. Mr. McCreery explained that fiftythree of the names bad been reported upon favorably by the Committee on Dis» bilities.

Mr. Conkling referring to the name of Gustavns Smith, formerly street commissioner of New York, which appeared in the bill, expressed surprise that a man educated and nurtured at public cost had drawn his sword against the country which gave it to him, should come here so hastily to seek condolement for his otienses.

Mr. McCreery replied that Smith had done less to forward rebellion than Longstreet.

Mr. Cameron recognized a difference between the two cases iu the fact^that when Smith went South he had boasted of his sacrifice for the rebel cause in abandoning a lucrative office. As to Longstreet, he never ought to have received the position he now holds. His appointment was a wrong to the men of the army and navy, and Senators were bound to consult the feelings of the relatives of the slain of the war on this side, the line.

After further discussion the House proceeded to vote on the amendments. Separate votei were demanded on many of them, but all were concurred in by strong majorities, and the bill has gone to the President.

A mot inn to reconsider the vote giving Switzler, of Missouri five thousand dollar-" for expenses in contesting the seat of Dver, was tabled, 915 to SI.

Mr. Scofield, from the Naval committee, reported a bill in relation to enlistments in the marine corps, providing that after the first of July, 1S70, enlistments shall be for five instead of four year«, and authorizing credit for enlistment pay passed.

Mr. Ixgan, from the Military committee, reported back the Senate bill to pay bounties to the 1st Alabama cavalry and the 1st and 2d Florida cavalry passed.

Mr. Sargent, from Committee on Appropriations, reported a joiut resolution providing that the act of March 3d, 1809, making appropriation for completion of :i court house and post office building at Knoxville, Tennessee be held to include and revise all prior refunded appropriations for the same object passed.

Mr. Brooks, of N. l., having declined to serve on the Conference Committee on the funding bill, Marshall was appointed in his placc.

The House took up the additional.deficiencv bill covering items amounting to i~l, 43.344.

Mr. Dawes appealed to the House not to allow new matter to be added'to the bill The principal item in it was one million for taking the census. Some other items had been overlooked in making out the estimates, and some had arisen from creating the Department of Justice.

An amendment offered by Mr. Randall to pay certain clerks of the House an ad ditional compensation of 20 percent, for the Thirty-ninth Congress, which had been ordered but not paid, provoked dis cussion, in which Mr. Dawes said if the House made appropriations to increase pav to officials, he would withdraw from

the committee of conference in which for the last ten days he had been trying to impress on the Senate that it WM improper and unexpected at this time, with heavy taxation resting on the peeyie, to go to raising compensation of officials of Congress.

Mr. Peters advocated the proposition as only making provision for what the House had agreed to by a resolution of the Thirty-ninth Congress, but which resolution the Treasury officials had refused to execute.

Mr. Dawes remarked the gentleman from Maine had never failed to vote for the highest sums and greatest increase of compensation and salary, ever since he had been a member of the House.

Mr. Peters breaking in—That'is unqualifiedly not trne, it is absolutely not true. I do not stand here to have snch slanderous assertions put on me.

Mr. Dawes—I repeat what I said, and until the gentleman can find on record a single instance where he has failed to come up to the truth of what I have said, I will not withdraw a word of it.. The gentleman has also been always in favor of the biggest jobs.

Mr. Peters repeated that what the gentleman from Massachusetts said of hitn was not true, and he ought to know he had more frequently voted against than for raising salaries. That gentleman had voted for giving large compensation to. female employes in various Departments, and he defied that gentleman to show any such vote on his record.

Mr. Randall criticised Dawes, and said his coursc in regard to economy had been that of a man rowing one way and lookng another. He was sorry to hear him hreaten to resign, but even if he did the House would run on. Notwithstanding the gentleman stood here and played the part of a clown—(a sudden fall of the Speaker's hammer.) I withdraw the expression. (Laughter.)

Mr. Dawes asked pardon if he had used any unparliamentary language, and intimated he would also apologize to the

fentleman

from Maine if his demeanor

ad been sucli as to deserve it. The amendment was agreed to, 84 to 63.

Mutual explanations followed between Peters and Dawes. An amendment offered by Bingham to increase compensation of the pages of the House was rejected.

Mr. Brooks, of New York, offered amendments authorizing the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House to devise some system of shortening official reports in the Globe, and to leave out irrelevant and immaterial matter.

Mr. Bingham moved an amendment to exclude speeches and parts of speech^ not actually delivered.

After discussion both amendments were rejected. Mr. Buckley offered an amendment appropriating SI 70,000 for payment of loyal men in the South who assisted in taking the last census agreed to.

Mr. Clarke offered an amendment appropriating $50,000 for the removal of Kansas Indians with their own consent agreed to. The bill then passed.

Mr. Bingham, from Judiciary Comlnittee, reported a bill to regulate-the mode of determining the ratification of amend'-"' ments to the Constitution of the United States. The first section makes it the duty of the Executive of each Slate, whose Legislature shall have ratified a proposed amendment, to certify forthwith such ratification to the Secretary of State of the United States.

The second section makes it unlawful for any State officer to certify thereafter anv repeal of such ratification, unless authority for repeal shall have been first proposed by Congress, and directs, the Secretary of State not to make a record thereof.

The third section prescribes penalty lor attempt to repeal such ratifications by State authority, as imprisonment from one to ten vears and fine from, $2,000 to. $10 000.

Mr. Cox objected. The understanding was when the Judiciary Committee had the day assigned to business, that no political matter should be reported.

MF. Bingham denied there had been any such understanding. Mr. Niblack moved to table the bill negatived, 55 to 120.

Mr. Bingham moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill. Mr. Woodward asked five minutes to express his opposition to the bill

Mr. Eldridge said there never was a more infernal proposition than thia bilL. Mr. McNeely moved to adjourn negativcd.

The rules were suspended and the bill passed, 128 to 64. Mr. Wooaward obtained leave to have printed in the Globe a speech he intended to make.

Mr. Bingham reported a bill aulhori* ing acceptance of tlie' resignation of a Judge who had held a commission not les« than ten years, and who from physical or other causes is permanently disabled, the Judge to have therefore during is natural life the same salary payable at the time of resignation, the bill to be confined to Judges who hold office during good behavior.

Mr. Bingham, from Committee, reported a joint resolution directing tha Secretary of the Treasury,to pay lawful owners net'proceeds of all cattle seized after the 40th of June, 1865, such seizures having been made in violation of an injuactiotf of the Treasury Department, and after rrender of the rebel armies and proclamation of amnesty.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, made a point of order that the bill made an appropriation and must be referied to the Committee of the W hole, and the bill was so referred.

Adjourned.

NEW YORK COI/LECTOR9HIP. WASHINGTON, July 7.—The opposition to Murphv for Collector of tlie port of New York, among such supporters of the President as have no interest in the Fenton aspect of the fight, is giving way, under conviction that it is politically unwise to make a fight which would only embitter the feelings of both parties. But vigorous opposition is by no means wanting, and the most difficult circumstances which Murphy will have to meet in the Senate will be the proof of his support of Gov. Hoffman in I860. If the Senate can be convinced that this was an overt act of party disloyalty, he will be rejected, otherwise he will be confirmed. Opinion last night was in his favor.

CONFERENCE ON THE FUNDING BILL. The joint Committee of Conference on the funding bill had a long discussion to-day, the principal disagreement being on the rate of interest, the House Committee insisting on four per cent, and the Senate arguing there could be no negotiation at that rate.

The Senate committee want foreign agencies, and exhibit letters from the Secretary of the Treasury favoring them They also disagreed as to the gold clauses of the bill.
