War with England.

J.ttwhul th. insurnttiof of Miblster Morutr. hi roloUo. Co our trouble. with Groat Briuin arc is not known, bat that Kngland did M gram wrong daring th. late robellioffi in permitting her aubjecu to bslld, fttrniab, arm and man •hip. for the purpose «f preying <—w-wr guir wHanmal awa^wxlaautimarn 1* W|Pw*tl V*l *■■•■ lUI <* a«*W7«v>ana *ay admitted by all acquainted with the law. of n&tisuu that she r» guilty of every unfriendly act .he could dcviae without engaging in vpen warfare is known to the most easua! observer, that she should Ik held to a strict accountability for her perfidy and be compelled to pay for every dollar’s worth of property destroyed by her pirate is the feeling of every true-hearted American. We do not know that the people of the United Ssates want a war with England for war*» sake, but If a war should come it would . not injure as near so badly a. did htfr unfriendly action toward, us daring our late war, when under the guise of friendship and pretence of neutrality, she permitted the Alabama to be built and sent forth from the Liverpool docks upon her minion of piracy against every unarmed vessel carrying the Stars and Stripes.

English papers talk of the rejection by the United States Senate of the lUvxkdt Johmbox-Stamlbt settlement as though the English nation had been greatly wronged, that the English people were sorely humiliated, and that now they should wait. We hope they will wait Our tonntry will be benefitted by delay. But we will not have to wait long before we can pay England ic Ker own coin. In the not far distant future English commerce may be subject to raids of ether Alabama.,-—Alabama, which can be sent into every sea, and which will reap rich harvests.— Great Britain has sown the wind, •he scattered her seed In fruitful son, .he may »e*p a hurricane.— Certainly if England can wait we can afford to wait. But if Mr. Monrr’e instructions m such that wo will bo hastened into a war with England, we can settle the “Alabama Claims” in short order. Our writ of attachment could be made out and placed iu the hands of General Shwbmsx who would havono difficulty in finding property upon which to levy, just “over the border,” and a hundred Alabamae could at once be launched that would make sad havoc with British commerce. However wo hope we shall not be forced into a war with England. If the precedent established by her be a good one let it stand. In the end we will be benefitted by it, and we need be in no hurry to have a settlement with her.

No:More School Meetings.

Professor Babnabas C. Hobbs, Superintendant of Public Instruetion, In a recent communication to the Tndiaas Teacher, gives it as bis opinion that the people of cities and incorporated towns have not the right to hold school meetings for the purpose of selecting or dismissing teachers, or for any other purpose connected with the schools. His reasoning is about this: The Jaw does not empower the people to meet and elect teachers. If it does, it is impractical for them to do so. The law is ambiguous.— Therefore it is improper they should be permitted to do so. We had supposed that unless the law, by exgress terms, empowered the town trustees to employ and, dismiss teachers, or perform any other duties, these duties and powers would still remain with the people, from whom all laws eminate. Thia view is in accordance with the fundamental law of the nation, is In harmony with democratic principles, underlies all republican forms of government, and b in keeping with the decisions of our courts, but Professor Hobbs, in imitation ot his predecessor, Pro-, feasor Hoss, thinks that ail powers not expressly reserved by law to the people are invested in an offices created by statute. This reasoning is simply absurd, tad from it we are- led to think that our present Super in tend ant of Public Instruction is not much of an improvement upon the gentleman whom he has succeeded in ofwhom it is very generally conceded was far from being what is of tho parson in his reIf it really is impractical for the. oitixens of cities and large towns to •ehettbotetahort for their schools,

It is from theftrat that instead of ths city dr large town forming bet one school district, as the fiction of law supposes, it is subdivided into several, each of which has its corps of teachers who esa not, from the nature of things, hsve connection with ths pupil, not resident of their wards or sub-districts, and of course the parents or guardians of pupils can have no possible interest in schools their children do not attend; but in small towns, like Rensselaer, where there is but one school, this impracticability does not exist and it is not only proper, but it is better for the people to indicate to the trustees whom to employ for teachers-aa ?t is done in country school districts. We think it better because where the pqoplc are consulted in school matters they take an increased interest in the schools, and their feelings are imparted to the children to a greater extent than a casual observer would suppose. Then it must certainly add to the efficiency of a the teacher to feel that he is the choiee of. his patrons rather than the selection of a triumvirate who have arrogated to themselves authority based upon the ambiguity of a sentence. Wetrust that hereafter, (as there is nothing du the law to prohibit them), the people of Rc.'.sicleer will designate the teachers to be employed, and, if it he needed, ill dismiss them; then feathers will be found working more in the interest of the tax-payers and the children, and lees to keep in the good graces of the trustees.

The Pacific Railroad.

Another stupendous work of American enterprise has been completed! The great Pacific Railway is in running order! The last spike was driven last Monday, at half put twelve o’clock Utah time, or two o’clock at this mcrutian.— A public celebration was h«8 in Chicago in honor of the event, and a large concourse of people assembled to take part in the ceremonies. In the evening spoeehes were made at Library* Hall by Vice President Colfax, ex-Lieutensnt Governor Baoss, Mayor Rios, and others.— We take the following extract from Mr. Colfax's speech: •‘lt is indeed a day of national rejoietof • . It should be a day of ustionsl thanksgiving, for the on-looking world will recognise that it is Amencan industry and American energy, tireless and indefatigable, which has sent the iron horse speeding over th. vast slopes of this continent, until it approaches the State on the Pacific coast whose mountains are amber and whose sand is gold. “It is, indeed, more than a day of rejoicing. It tea bridal day in America. To-day we of the east, wed the young bride of 20 years, ‘the Queen of the Pacific,’ aa she advances in her white robes of silver and her golden coronet. And as we clasp her, as we never clasped l>er before; and we shall clasp her as a faithful bride until time eliall close, and until this nation shall cease to stand—os she comes to us today in her silver robes and with her golden coronet sparkling upon her forehead, she brings to ua a* dowry more than queenly, more than princely. It te a dowry of wealth which she brings in her hands. Go with me to that vast region of the west. From the Rocky mountains to the Pacific ocean, 1,200 miles in width, from the British line on the north to the Mexican line on the south, 8,000 miles in length, 1,000,(100 aqnsrw mile*, with gll the mineral area, rich in every direction. In mountain and river, in vailey and ravine, and we oj>en Our eyes upon these golden and silver seams forced into this molten rock when the Creator spoke the word. “But this fair bride brings to us from the Pacific her dowry of commerce in her hands. Have you reflected that, on that Pacific sea, we are the only nation fronting it of the civilized and commercial nations of the world ? “We hold in our hands there, with our already inaugurated steam lines, the commerce of that vastest ocean of the world. The commerce of those great nation, fronting upon it, by which India by the rude process of her caravans, has poured wealth, in all ages past, into the lap of eveiy country that ever obtained her trade. And I remember quite well that, long ago, it was written in the past, those who command the sea command the trade of the world; those who command the trade of the world command the richeqpf the world; and those who command the riches of the world command the world itself. “She brings to us, too, a dowry of climate as well. There, in that strange compound, the tropical and temperate zones seem to be united ; the olive and thevine in the same garden with the peach and the cherry; with nature here in her seasons of rest, but there never resting, ever exuberant, ever vigorous, ever fructifying, with strawberries every month in the year, and with blooming out-door gardens from December to Debember; (nte is the dowry of climate we have received to-day as part ano parcel of our inheritance. “But there te a dowry she brings to us to-day more valuable to us, as a union. than wealth, or commerce, or climate; it te the dowry of national strength, which is the one thing needed to round out and consolidate, and strengthen this great and growing republic of ours. Have you ever reflected that when thou regions were far from ua, almost inaccessible by our armies, by our munitions of war, by our supplies, that that Pacific coast, proudly as she boasts of her wealth, was the most vulnerable spot of this republic? The nations .of the old world had their struggle there, upon that coast, and every one who shared In the responsibilities of government at Washington understood very well that whenever we should quarrel with a foreign country, with no means, es reaching our Pacific coast there would be their point of (attack. Thank God that day is pasi?t The completion, to-day, of this great road enables us in time of emergency, or national or local peril, to send ouf‘ trnnting thousands to heir rritef.”

Indianapolis Jowraol, Sentinel and Jftrror, are all taking an active interest in the proposed Railroad from Indianapolis to Chicago rid Frankfort, Delphi, Monticello and Rensselaer, and are urging the, advantages of the route to the people of Indianapolis. From them we learn that leading wealthy men of Marion county have pledged a liberal assistance to the enterprise. EBPThe Kentland 6ta«rifc, of May Bth, contains a half-column communication from Rensselaer under date of “May 30th,” and over the signature of “Do,” in which are several reflections upon the credulity of the people hereabouts, in general, ana one or two ungracious and exaggerated inuenfloes against individuals, together with an impassioned invocation to imposters “to spare us.” “Do” should nave learned before this these three truths: Exaggeration weakens argument. Ridicule cannot destroy facts. Inuendoea will not eradicate error. . And a fourth might be pondered: “It m a dirtv bird that befouls its own nest.” tdtf The Monticello Herald of the 7th says: “A dog was seen In town bn Wednesday which gave evidence of hydrophobia; the dog was shot, but not killed. Hydrophobia is extensively raging in many places and. a sharp watch should be kept on the canine specie..” Hydrophobia would have a good time taking the two or three thousand dogs around Rensselaer.
