THK COMMUNICATION of a friend re. fleeting severely, on tho conduct of the Board of Trustees of our city schools, is probably better omitted than,-published. 1^ does notjappear to us that anything jfili lie- gaihed byloffenaive personalities. ljhe gue^tioi^ at ispua fh.oiijdrinot .be consideredji by- ueitherii side,lior» persona grounds.'Nor is it fair to impugn the motives'of any official without adducing proof to substantiate every charge preferred either direclly or by implication.

A PRIVATE LKTTKR"from a prominent Republican in Providence, Rhode Island, informs us, that there is no doubt of tho ^option of the Fifteenth Amendment in that State.' It will be remembered that the resolution ratifying the Amendment was adopted in one branch of, the General Assembly and postponed in the other.— Our correspondent states that "public opinion is so strongly in favor of the measure that not a single Republican member of the Legislature will be able to resist the pressure."

MINISTER BUBLUHQAME rebuked the foreigners who thought they outranked' him in Paris, in tho following scathing style:

We Americans do not raise the question of rank. We receive all gentlemen as occupying a common level. But if you raise tho question of position, we outrank you. You are nothing but dukes, marquises, and counts. We beloDg to the royal family. Wo are the equal of our President. We are all heirs apparent to tbe throne.

Tbe edifices for this noble charity, and the grounds connected with them, will co3t Mr. CORCORAN $200,000, if not more.

an interesting table prepared at

the Treasury Department, it appears that the world, at least Uncle SAM'S portion of it, is growing honest. The "conscience fund" is steadily increasing. During the whole of the year 1861 but $250 was contributed to this interesting depository, while in the first five months of the present year $15,000 were sent in. The amounts wrung by contrition from awakened consciences have increased with each succeeding year and our people have thus been steadily increasing in honesty. Those that wronged the government in by-gone days, and made the fullest reparation through the "con- science fund," will, it is just to infer, commit their old transgressions no more; and their examples cannot fail to exercise a most beneficial effect upon the nation at large.

To this the Revdl, a French Republican paper, thus pertinently retorts: "On the 28th of December, 1848, the citizen Louis N. BONAPARTE was elected President of the republio, and took tbe oath prescribed by the constitution, which was to the effect: 'In the presence of God, and be. fore the people of

France, represented by

the National Assembly, I swear to be faithful to the Democratic Republic, one and indivisible, and to perform all the duties imposed upon me by the constitution.' Perhaps the Public will tell us whether this was or was not an 'engagement of honor."'

=====

Had we not evidences of the profound scholarship and intelligence so lavishly displayed in the columns of the Journal and did we not know that paper to be the organ of a party noted for scholarship, intelligence and refinement, as well as good morals, we should have been induced to set down the author of tbe above article among those who think schools a sort of useless thing at the best, and who desire tbe least possible of them.

The "leading idea of the public school system," as we understand it, is to give every child an opportunity to acquire a thorough education, an education which shall fit its recipients for business, and which shall, as" well, develop tho mind, refine the tastes, make a happy,contented and useful citizen. It is, so far as possible, to give the poor man's child just the same educational advantages as are possessed by the rich. Honce, wo have not only reading, writing and arithmetic, but also History, Philosophy,Chemistry,Compositions, Drawing, Music, the languages, &e. Nine-tenths of the present instruction in the best common schools, accords ing to tho idea of the Journal, would be "foreign to tho intention of the law."

It is true we ought to bo "thankful'* when the children of poor people as well as rich, are permitted to learn to Tead, writ6 and practice the fundamental rules of arithmetiCjbut we differ from the Journal when it says wo ought to be "content" with this. Nothing tells so powerfully against a foolish and oppressive aristocracy of wealth, as our system of public schools, and the more thorough and complete the education afforded in these schools, the greater-will be their power in breaking down this aristocracy. They who desire to get or hold places of honor or profit through tbe ignorance of the masses, may consistently oppose public schools, or, if the time is past when such opposition can be of any avail, may attempt to confine the schools to as limited a course of instruction as possible.

But with those who desire the real good of the people and the nation, the

"leading idea of our public school system' is to give the children of all classes an equal opportunity to acquire a complete and thorough education. It is time we were done with the notion that only rich men's children should have an opportuty to learn "singing, music,thelanguages

etc."

The Journal says "as singers few people ever succeed in the great struggle of life." As mathematicians few people ever succeed in the great struggle of life. As authors fow succaed. By penmanship few succeed. Still mathematics, ability to express one's thoughts on paper, to write a good hand, all help wonderfully in the great struggle of life. So does singing. The author of this article is no musician, cannot even sing "by note," therefore, feeling hia own loss in this respect, is the more earnest that none of the child, ren whose parents are not able to secure private instruction, be deprived of the restraining, pleisure-giviog influence of music.

We are happy to

Trustees.

Public, a French journal in the

BCCHK-

FORT, BAXCKL and BADUT, the recently elected candidate*, have taken the prescribed oath, which is thiaeffect: "I swear obe* dience to the constitution and fidelity to the Emperor." This is a very plain promise,and would seem to need no commentary or explanation. Every oath is an engagement of honor, but will Messrs, ROCHEFOBT, BA2TCEII and^^IH^IOUBderstood it?" •_ -iaJsk

Onr Public Schools, itm

The Journal, in noticing the artideg which have appeared in these columns concerning Music in the PubHp^Schools( uses the following language "Some people seem to forget that the great leading idea of the public school system is that every child may obtain ihe advantages of a substantial common school education, and all such features as singing, music, the languages, &c., are entirely foreign to the intention of the law. If our children can be taught in the public schools the branches of education that will suit them for useful business in life, we ought to be content and thankful. As singers, but few people ever succeed, in the great struggle of life 1"

think the Journal ia altogether behind the age and holds too low and narrow ideas in regard to the object of our public school system. Time was when boys were simply taught to read, write and

"cipher," because these were reckoned sufficient to fit them for "useful business in life," and girls were permitted to go no farther than the reading and writing, because arithmetic was not necessary to fit them for these positions. |r •rf.1

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT,—We

learn

that the Board of School Trustees at a meeting on Thursday evening, abolished the office of Superintendent of the City Schools, held for several years past by Mr. J. M. Olcott. The duties of Superintendent have been conferred upon the Principal of tbe High School, Mr. Wiley, with an increase of five hundred dollars oh the salary heretofore, paid.him. We hope the Board in this action has proceeded with due deliberation,and that the result may be for the best interest of the schools still, we are frank to say that so far as we have heard an expression of public sentiment, tbe feeling is decidedly adverse to a change in the management of our excellent system of sohools. There is great fear that either tbe interests of tbe high school or those of tho general superintendency must suffer under the arrangement proposed.-^9rin« »b wjw*.

AWKWARD!—A few evenings since a couple of "souls with but a single thought" were united in marriage and the 'bus driver instructed to call for them for the midnight train. The festivities went on train time came, but no convey&nce to the depot. Traveling robes were donned the "two hearts that beat one" grew impatient efforts were made to Eecure another conveyance, but before the bridal party could reach the depot the iron horse was drawing tbe train far away, and the disappointed pair had to await the next train at six o'clock in the morning!

HEALTHFUL EXERCISE.—Some sensible body writes that there is more health in breathing good fresh air than iu all the medicine ever invented. Nothing improves the color and adds to the circulation like a good stroll with a companion chuck full of harmless mischief. When you return homo you feel on good terms with everybody, and as for an appetite you can swallow anything from a boardhouse to a moon hoax. In a word, there is nothing -like cheerfulness and fresh laid oxygen, either for the mind, body, or smaller intestines, and yet there nothing that Americans so seldom in« dulge in. This accounts for our sallow cheeks, love of suicide, and lantern jawed women. Instead of recreation, we hardly afford ourselves opportunity for eating or sleeping. "The almighty dollar" so haunts us that we almost begrudge ourselves a decent sized snooze for fear we may lose one-and-aine-penco worth of time by the operation. The consequence that by the time we are forty we are "done and quoted" in looks, healtb( and temperment. Our stomachs, from inattention, strike for higher wages, and refuse to work on anything harder than bran bread and Graham crackers.

THE ''SOCIAL EVIL" is engrossing the attention of many cities, and stringent measures are taken in some places to eradicate it. Terre Haute, we believe, is not so badly afflicted as some other cities, and yet the occasional raids of the police show that a number of these vile creatures exist in our community. These raids do very little good. On being arrested, if tried before the Mayor, a light fine is assessed, which is either paid or the women go to jail to "board it out," and then continue to ply their vocation, sinking deeper in infamy. Usually, however, the women demand a jury of six men, and in this case go free, for it is a notorious fact, that within the past two years not a single verdict of guilty has been returned in such cases in the Mayor's Court, where a jury trial was demanded. The ladies of Rochester, New York, deserve credit for having taken the most effectual means of wiping out the "Social Evil" in that city. They first appealed to the keeper of the brothels to report the names of their patrons. This information, as was to have been expected, they failed to obtain, but wero told that if the demand were complied with they would be compelled to hear the names of brothers, husbands and fathers. They then adopted the more effectual method, and placed spies to watch these institutions. The watch was faithfully and unrelentingly kept up. In consequence, the usual patrons, seeing the watch, stayed away, and the proprietors are wanting in the means to pay their rent and other obligations—fairly starved out, in fact. This vigorous course bids fair to extinguish all such institutions in that city. Who will inaugurate a similar movement here? The occasional gobbling up of a few unsuspecting victims by the police is of little or no practical benefit. What, will be required to suppress the evil is some such general movement as that inaugurated at Rochester.

first number of this psper, published by C. W. Brown Esq., and O. J. Smith made its appearance on Saturday. "A now broom sweeps clean," and with new material, it presents a neat mechanical appearance. We wish the publishers better success than can reasonably be hoped. This is too fast an age to live on visits of a weekly paper, in a growing city like ours.

WE passed along the line of the St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute Railroad survey on Tuesday and Wednesday last, as far as Casey, and find the dirt flying along the eniiro line.

As a nation, we are not only at peace with tbe entire world, but are begining to renew our strength lost in a long war, and have every reason to feel that our country is just entering upon a career of prosperity never before realized or even contemplated. We hope to see immediate steps taken by whioh our citizens will be induced universally to turn out and properly celebrate the Fourth of July."

FOUBTH OF JULY.—Again we ask aro we to celebrate this day. If so, it is not too early to take the initiatory steps. We want no small picnic affair, to bring together only those people who have nowhere else to go but a united celebration in which the whole town may join. The Indianapolis Journal speaking of this same matter says "good and sufficient reasons can always be urged why the day ought properly to be observed and celebrated. The Fourth of July is our only National holiday, and the only day strictly observed as such in every part of our country. It is good for us as a people to meet at least once each year and renew our fealty to the old flag, and no day in tbe year comes to tu surrounded by so many precious memories
