EDUCATION. PEW RENTING. 1879. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1SS0. testimony haa again clouded his chances.

Two jolc. i raoro will probably bo consumed by additional testimony for the defense, tho summing up and the judge's charge. That the jury can agree upon points so admirably obscured by this mass of contradictory evidence, unlikely, but the jurors will have tlio satisfaction of reflecting that, at great expense to SUt3, thoy have been put through a course lectures oil toxicology and the rules of evidence that must havo vastly improved their minds, and will horeaHer enable them to mix 1 cffl nvnruirt.trmR. and crivo DK. VAN DYKE REPLIES, HifV Answer Co (lie Hejoinder of Dr.

Spear Tbe Question Whether Latter Garbled the Testimony Quoted in fflis Address Before the Synod Dr. Van Dyke Will not Let the Issues ol the Trial Rent The Church IfluMt Vindicate Her Honor or Trample on Her Own Law. Ruv. Dr. Vau Dyke has written the following letter In reply to ouo wrUoQ by ltev.

Dr. Spear so publiabcd in the EaLB on Monday: Bkookltn, Januarys, 18801. To the ltev, S. T. Spear.

1). I. Sin To your long letter of yesterday I have a brief answer to mako. Your crease for omUtinfr the wora square out'' from the ecu tone In Sir. PearsalFa testt mony upon which you base the charge against mo of dishonest quotation, in that you quoted from tba columns of the Bjiooklyn Eaole, and not from tbo sworn, ateiiog rapid report which was tho official record of tbo Presbytery.

Uy way of apology for this you stato thfc tho otticiai record cf the testimony waa not printed until a week nr two before the meeting ot the Synod. Do yon mean by this to intimate that you bodnoaceeea to that record Defore it was printed 7 Let mo remind you that at yonr own urgency and by your own vofv uiuuy months before tho meeting of tho Synod, that official record waa deposited in a convenient placo with tho avowed purpose of giving all parties full opportunity tor consult it. When you turned away from the only record known to the Presbytery to the columna of a newspaper, it la quite possible that you wero not aware of tha glaring Inaccuracy of ita reports In the interest of the accused. But when you iwaued what purported to be your speech before the Synod (only selected portions of which were delivered before that body, owing to the limitation of time) you bad evidently discovered that the reports on which you depended were not altogether correct, of which fact the slip containing a list of "errata" attached to the printed slip is cleur proof. Why did you not extend your comparisons and emendations to tne passage in which, by tho quotation of a Blnglo Benton co, you undertake to prove a co Presbytery guilty of handling the testimony doceitfully 7 And now, when your error ia pointed out to you, why do you not frankly acknowledge it 7 As to your astounding assertion that the question, "why not runt the powb meana the same thing as tho question, "why not rent the news anuara but 7" I the push was surely not to be wondered at when ho had tho examplo of Sohroodor Company before his oyes men who are always prating about thoir own virtues.

'We do not apprehend that tho resolutions passed last night will troublo him much, and wo are quite sure that ho is as useful to tho parly as it has ever been to him. How all this makes the sailing of the Democrats plain is obvious. Mr. Schroeder's great maxim is to "divide and conquer." Tho Democratic managers are not likely to complain of his success. There is no Republican party in Brooklyn to day, but there was a very effective party here of that name before Schroeder roso to leadership.

There is plenty of work ahead for the hannonizers. Spear anil Van Dyke. It is curious as a psychological fact, if not as a theological principle, that when two pugnacious heroes have punched each others' heads without breakage, they invariably fall upon what logicians call a tertium quid, a third somebody or something or other. Such is the case with the Rev. Dr.

Van Dyko in the last retort courteous which he has administered to the Rev. Dr. Spear. Tho Eagle would not caro to step in as a mediator if it were not that Dr. Van Dyko has now written over his name that when Dr.

Spear "turned "away from the only record known to tho Presbytery to the columns of a newspaper, it is quite possible that you were not awaro "of the glaring inaccuracy of its reports in "the interest of the accused." Into the merits of a pout mortem controversy, which tho Nihilist movement first manifested itself in assassinations the Eagle took this view of the situation and showed that tho repressive measures employed by the Czar could have only one effect, namely, to spread the discontent which, in its intenso aud murderous form, was confined to a comparatively limited circle. Now society is honeycombed with revolutionary societies, and the army is on the verge of robellion. Loyalty is tho exception, aud is undoubtedly restricted to immediate governmental beneficiaries. Tho rank and tile aud tho subordinate officers share the prevailing sentiment of the communities which they aro placed, and the latest orders are that no regiment shall be stationed near tho placo from which it was recruited. It has long been the military plan of Russia to constitute its forces of tho mosthoterogenoons elements.

Representatives the most distant provinces, hardly able to understand ona another's dialoct, were placed side by side in tho ranks in order to prevent nuytliing liko a common sentiment. Tho difficulty of preserving discipline aud reducing complex a mass of humanity to order was overcome by tho application of physical force a remarkable degree. In this view of the caso tho unanimity of discontont in tho army means that the ond is not far off. As might be anticipated the portion of Russia, which borders on free and progressive States, liko Germany and Austria, comes most directly under the influence of liberal soutimcnt. It is impossible for tho Polish victims of Russia to refrain from comparing thoir condition with that of tho Austrian Poles, and, recognizing the processes of government which have made their brethren comfortable aud prosperous, they naturally clamor for a constitutional system.

These are tho provinces in which the revolutionary principle has acquired tho firmest hold, aud upon these tho repressive action of the Government must bo concentrated. The significance of this morning's cablegrams, therefore, is not a struggle with Austria and Germany, but a la6t desperate attempt to annihilate Nihilism, iu its now rational form, with musket aud bayonet. Tho Government really precipitating tho revolution by this action, for it will not bo long before tho troops will bo forced to choose between shooting down their fellow revolutionists aud joining them. They may not immediately select tho lattor alternative, but the fiual issue of the conflict is not difficult of determination. to Third Qrad dronimsr (grade raised) Mina M.

The Evening School Committee, through Mr. Gates, prosontod the following Htatemout as to tho total miui bor on register at tho close of tho term and the average attendance of pupils, and tho tolal cmi and coat jki capita in the soveral evening schools for tho torm com menring November 1(1 and oudiug December 111, 18711; also tbo cost for teacbors' wages and other expenses during tho term Tlie Annual Halo at Xsly inontSi Church. A Slfeht Falling off from tho Total of 1870 Over $40,000 Secured Mr. Beecher's Bemarks What the Pews Brought. The annual renting of the paws of Plymouth Church took placo last evening tn tho church, and notwithstanding tho rain, thora was a pretty fair attendance of pewholders.

Tho result was slightly behind tho flgureB of last year, and tho falling off may be duo to tho Inclemont weather. Slxteon pews wore rented at the close to Mr. Moses S. Beach, at one dollar each. Thoso will be placed In the hands of Mr.

Wild, the e0x ton, to bo disposed of to those who could not be present last evening, and who desire sittings. The business began a aevon o'olock. It muBt be un derstood that flxod rent is attached to ev ery pew, varying in amount according to location, and the bidders give so muoh for choice Deacon John B. Hutchinson presided last evening, and Mr. E.

E. Hoyt was again tbe auctioneer. Ho has auctioned off the pows in Plymouth Church for years. Mr. Beecbor opened tho proceedings with a brief out line of the way in which tho powa wore disposed of.

He said The pleasant ovonino has enmn round nirnln. Vmi aro all, I suppono, by this time, or most all of you, familiar both with tho method and the torms of this sale. Thoy aro, however, nrlnfcnrt or in your hands. I havo only to say that this house is admirably adapted for speaking and hearing, if the speaker stands at this point, but for any one who stouds in the middlo of tbo bouse it not well adaptod for hearing. Thoso, tborofore, who mention thoir nainoa audjthe pows thoy select, to thom I must give tho Instruction that used to bo glvou at school to tho scholars who wore called out in the class to recite Boys, speak up loud and clear." And now I give placo to a man whoso tongue rthakos off more silver in ono discourse than auy preacher I over knew or board of in mv llfo.

Ho will take my place for the evening aud adJross you. Thon camo tho bidding for tho first choice. "How much for tho first choice called Mr. Hoyt. "Bid quick gentlemen." Tho first bid was $100.

Then camo two or three of $430. "f.5O0," called Mr. H. B. Claflin, and tbo choico waa knocked down to him.

He ohoso pew No. a'J. Mr. H. W.

8ago bid $500 for the next oholco and took pew No. 90. S. V. Wblto took pew No.

57 ot $150, and Deacon Hutchinson took pew No. TOO at $100 Augustus Storrs getting pow No. 104 at tho samo figure. Thon tho premium foil at one drop to $300, and four teen pews off at that figure. Thou $290 was bid, thou $280, and so it dropped down tho scale until tho lowest point, $1, was touched.

Tho business waB all over at 10 o'clock, but the bulk of tho crowd had gone loug before that time. THE RENTING. 1830. 2') Mohos 20 A. D.

A regular meeting of the Board of Education wan held at tho headquarters of the Board yesterday afternoon, Mr. E. J.

Whitlock proaldlug. Tho mi mi toe of tho previous meeting having been read and approved, tho Chair addressed the Board as follows A LECTURE ON ECONOMY. I desire to say a few words that I think should be said at tho outetai tuf the year. In a reviow of tho events of the puet year I think we have much to congratulato our uelves upon, because I believe tUatthe educational Interests of Brooklyn Btand as high, if not ntehor, than thoso of any other city in the United States, Nevertheless, there are soma things that should be eaid, aud I don't know of auy better timo to say it than this. The Mayor sent a communication to tho Board on November 3, requesting a statement of tho ftnancial condition of the Board.

The statement was made to the Mayor in tho uhuuI form, not in dotal), becauso to gather up in detail all tbe transactions of the Board for the current year would involve a mass of testimony or evidence. It was sent to the Mayor, and I received a letter from bis Honor saying tint It was not in harmony with his wishes, aud styling the Board aa a drpartmont of tho city goverumont. I might liavo taken exception to that, but did not choose to do it, but nevertheless, was willing to concede to tho Mayor anything aud everything to show that tho Board had dls burHOd the money committed to its caro with a lidollty rarely excelled if equalled. The Mayor said he wanted a statement more iu He undertook to say that we hart no right to divort any ono part of ono fund to any other fund. I took exception to this.

He said wo had no authority to divert money from special funds to any other fund, which I acceded to and suid had not been doue. In or dor to accede to tho wishes of his Honor, I roquestcd tho secretary to make a statement showiug the reception and diBbursomont of ovory dollar. Tho timo was short and the work was great, but notwithstanding that it was dono. It was voluminous aud it was presented to the Mayor. In his loiter to mo yesterday the Mayor compliments us on tho succinct character of the statement and yet contains the samo exception to the waut of information as to tho difference between tho general and special funds.

But that is past. In the budget of 1880 certalu amounts aro inBertod for certain purposoa, and I say thiB to night that as long as I am hore I will novor couutonance tho drawing of a warrant for one dollar that exceeds tho appropriation in tho budget. Applause What would ask of you is this Simply that you shall forecast and anticipate your wants. Ir iu either district any thing is wanted or may be wanted, gathor them all up and in tho proper channel bring them to the Finance Committee, and let that oommlttoo bring them to the Board. Tho Board can send thom to tho Board of Estimate.

If thoy refuso to give it to us then wo must stop. We must not go on month after month with reso lutions for monoy, bolievlng that because it has been done boforo it can bo dono again. I tell vou. contlemen. wo must anticipate our work and ask for what wo want, aud if wo cannot get it wo must submit.

But thcBo shortcomings, those deficiencies that wo aro charued with, and let me say to you that it is not from tho outor world that wo havo boon charged with this, not from tho outer world that wo havo boon charged with misappropriating money from one account to another the charges that have been made camo from mombors of this body. I don't know why it bus boon dono, I cannot account for it, out nevertheless I know that to bo the fact. I undertake to say that there has been no more economical body than this. undertuko to prove, and can provo, that tho number omlureu euucatou navo naa a ninor order 01 cau tion at leas per capita, cost than thoso of any other city in tho United States. I don't pro poso to charge agalust the per capita coat, tho cost of erecting school Ixousea which have been forced upon us by educational necessities from year to yoar, and which constitute valuablo possoF.sious; I mean the money annually expendod in tho education of tlio children.

I say this If you want anything you munt get it in tho UBtial course, but if you underUks to pass resolutions calling for tho expenditures of money not appropriated, you will not get it, for as long an I am hero you will never get a check signed lor a siuglc dollar of such money.

Office of Superintendent of Puumo iNsmucriON Bnoorci.VN, December '27, 18' 1879.)

During tho punoa oi nearly six years wuicu naa oiapaoa since mat date, I have examined 3,714 candidate? lor licenses.

Of this number 047 wure re examiu'jd ere awardod licences of Grade wero nwiir lod teachora' licene os of Grade and i)7U were rejected. For several years prior to my superintendence of your schools, my predecessor had found tho double labor of examining them twice in oach year and ot holding ppe cial examinations of these graduates for toaeheivi' licenses, too onerous a task for performance by a individual. It had become, therefore, a necessity to coDBider Bradufttes entitled to a teacher's Grade without other examination than J'tfJ thoy wero subjecta. Uin. Bnvo ooJs for gradua tion.

These examinations for graduation wero hem, in nnmn capes, bv tho superintendent iu person in others hv the nrinolnal or tho academic class teacher, the nues ttous being framed by tho superintendent and sent to the schools, and tn still other instances the questions were framed by tne principal ana tuc examinations were wholly conducted and superintended by him. With the utmost industry of an indefatigable oxaminer each pupil of a class of thirty scholars could not answer more than twenty questions ia all the studies during the time allotted to an examination. When the questions were wont to the soveral schools or were framed by tho principals, the examinations were hold nt such times as they found convenient, and tho pupils wore subjected to no othor supervision than that of their own teachers, and upon the results reported by them the grade for tno teachem' nconsoa was estab lished. Thoro were, thcreforo, more than thirty differ ent standards or Bonoiarsmp, wuu an equal number oi varying qualities of supervision, extending possibly Irom extromo soverity to unuue iimu'geuuu. uuiucuvu as this plan was, the superintendent could not I3 held rosnonfrtWe for it.

for even his extraordinary diliaonco and industry were unequal to the performance of tho double labor, smco my lncumusnoy no license nas been granted without tho fullost oral and written examination posHiblo with my performance of other duties, except iu the rare instaucea of teachers of largo oxpericuce and excellent reputation in their professions from other citios. Every examination has Ijccu performed at fixed periods in the rooms of tho Board, aud in puonc, irttn every opportunity lor public inspection and official criticism which the most oxacting citizen couhl demauJ. Trior to the period of my superintendence the percentage of correct answers, which would ontitlo punils to graduation and consequently to tho highest Bchular. htp certificate of license to teach, waa somuwhat irregular and uncertain, but no such licenso has bcon grunted by mo to candidates who did not exhibit ninety per com. oi corroct statements to at least two thousand queries.

Nor has my judgment been wholly formed from the inspection cf tho written oxorclsoB, for no licenso has baiuu granted without such oral examination as afforded mo some criterion for a decision regarding tho mental and physical qualities of the candidate. By this mode of inquisition (from oral examinatloa alono) I havo in a single year rejected moro than two hundred candidates, who are not included in the numerical statement herewith submitted. The autograph examination oi every candidate is preserved in my ollice, aud hold subject to the inspection of any citizon interested in the roetilt, Every person dissatisfled with the result of tho examination has been permitted obtain a ro oxamlnation of tba book containing the aaswers written by herself and for this purpose sho might be her own oxaminor.

Governor CorneM's Message. j. i uuvuiuur uuuiwi i vuinngu iu u. mm, ljegiHiauvre. uusjuncmtim ulivu ui, tiesof his office he was a private citizen up to the time of his election he was not elected in the hope that ho would make any important ohaugo in State affairs, and neither he nor his party represents any principle of State poitey.

He succeeds Governor elected by the party now in opposition, and that Governor's administration of the duties of his of flee secured and deserved very general commendation. If Governor Cornell had sent in a mero perfunctory message, to the effect that just at present he had no particular information to impart as to "the ooudition of the State," and no recommendations to offer for the guidance of the conduct of the Legislature, ho would probably have said all that he had to say at this time. The Governor has, however, so far conformed to established usage as to fill two or three col umus of the newspapers in saying little or nothing, and for the excellent reason that he has nothing to say. Under the circumstances, it may be said of the message that it would be vain to blame and useless to praise it." Governor Cornell could not very well say "ditto" to nil that has been so well said by his predecessor, and he could not antagonize the administration he succeeds without placing both himself and his party at a disadvantage. Governor Cornell does, however, venturo to take issue with Governor Kobiuson on three or four subjects, and only to this extent does Mr.

Cornell's message invite or justify criticism. Mr, Robinson was irreconcilably opposed to the new Capitol Building. His antagonism reached the point of unreasoning opposition. It is a fact, we believe, that the late Governor never put a foot in the new building until he entered it with Mr. Cornell, to formally welcome him as his successor.

The old Governor absolutely refused to movo his office into the new building. He cluug to the last to the historic aud modest apartments occupied by so many of his predecessors. He regarded the new edifice as a monument of extravagance aud folly, and as far as was possible he would have nothing to do with it in auy way. Iu all probability, if Governor Kobiuson could have had his way, the new Capitol would have remained au uncompleted monument of the prodigality of evil times. As it was, ho would favor only the smallest annual appropriation possible for its completion, aud this he awarded grudgingly aud always under protest.

Th; barbaric splendor of the structure was, in the Governor's opinion, demoralizing to all who might be brought into contact with it iu any way. Mr. Cornell, on the other hand, thinks that whatever objection there might have been to an undertaking whivh has already cost the State ten millions of dollars, the only rational course left is to complete the structure as speedily as possible, and to this end ho favors a further appropriation of three millions five hundred thousaud dollars, to be expended within three years, aud he recommends further that this amount be borrowed on the credit of tho State, "by which arrangement a portion of tho bur "den would be placed upon the future "taxpayers, who will enjoy the use of this "grand, but costly edifice." Tho difference between tho two Governors aud between the parties tbey respectively represent, is not unfairly illustrated by this divergence of opinion. Governor Iiobinson seemed to have cynical satisfaction iu compelling the generation that committed ir.ss. lf to this folly to pay for it, aud he believed that the generations which are to follow would be sufficiently punished by the necessity of maintaining the structure.

The Capitol is now utilized, and we do not bs lievo the people of the State will care to go in debt in order to hasten its completion. The State is now practically out of debt, and it had better keep so. Upon no subject was Mr. Robinson more tenacious than the relation of the Stato to public education. In his opinion the duty of the State in this regard was measured by the State's necessity.

Popular government would not be possible except among a peopie sufficiently educated to take part in it. Public education in a free State is as necessary for tho conduct of government as the maintenance of a State militia. As a t.in is maintained not for the purpose of edu cating citizens for the military profession cs pecially, but for the State's defense, so wit lithe public schools, they are maintained not for the purpose of aiding the future citizens of the State to outer professions, or to live by their wits, but to enable them to intelligently perform the ordinary duties of citizenship. To tax auy man for auv purpose beyond the necessities of the Slats was, in Governor Robinson's opinion, wholly unjustifiable. The chief advantage of high school education at tho public cost can be secured, as a rule, only by the children of those who are comparatively affluent of those who are ordinarily able to pay for it.

To tax the great body of the people for advantages in which they do not share, was1 in Governor Robinson's opinion a departure from the true functions of government. Governor Cornell desires evidently to antagonize his predecessor's views on this subject, but ho ems to fail iu the courage to do so. Governor Cornell favors "wisely enacted laws for the support of common or primary schools everywhere within the reach of the humblest child he would also 'permit lo cal communities to establish such advanced grades of academic education as they may desire for the more abitious student Governor Cornell is evidently in antagonism with Governor Robinson in directness of speech. Ifcifs not easy to say what Mr. Cornell means here.

Nobody ever doubted what Mr. Robinson intended to say on any subject on which he undertook to give his opinion. Iu this connection, Mr. Cornell favors the participation of women in public school management, for he holds that women are equally competent with men for this duty, and it cannot be doubted that their admission to representation would largely increase the efficiency of our school management." Well, it is doubted very seriously by men of, perhaps, old fashioned notions, wluj cannot he made to believe that women ate unrepresented in auy business iu which their fathers, brothers and husbands take part. The now Governor assures us that "the re iations of railroads to the public are of vast "importance and demand cuveful examination by the Legislature he favors uniform freight tariffs," "without discrimination," and ho would like to see this secured "by just "and practical legislation." This mild and vague recommendation is not likely to scare the railroad corporations to any very great extent.

The present laws relating to tho assessment of property liable to taxation are admittedly defective. The Governor safely says that this is a complicated" subject, aud he would have tho present Legislature "consider" it, with the view of getting some future Legislature to deal with it. Ho favors an excise law which can be understood and enforced, and he looks to the Legislature for "a solution of this matter." Of such platitudes as these the message is made up. It differs from tho messages of Tilden and Robinson, as the atmosphere of a close room does from the air outdoors and it gives assurance tliat uovornor win not cuaueuge any particular antagonism Trom anybody in an I office for the performance of whose functions it was never pretended he possessed any special qualification. tr id.

Whitlock, President of the Board of Education, iu opening the proceedings of that body yesterday, took occasion to place himself definitely on record against auy expenditures by tho Board in excess of the sums allowed in tho budget. This was au excellent declaration to make at tho opening of the year, and backed as it is by the ability of the President to prevent tho payment of bills improperly contracted, warrants the belief that have seen the last of a system which flourishes only where agents are eithor dishonest or nimble to distinguish between the powers which they are authorized to exercise aud thoso reserved to tho people, whose servants they It is as truo of tho Board of Education as the other city departments, that the first thing in order is for the members to understand that they am not appointed to bo generous with the public money, and that they have more right to impose debts upon tho public than they have to apply the fuuds of tho to their own use. Tho deficiencies which confront tho taxpayers from year to year are to tho indulgence of tho notion that tho people have iu somo way surrendered the right limit their liabilities, and that any draft may mado upon them if it bo prefaced with certain gabblo about liberality and benefi Emergencios may arise at long which will mako tho moneys al in the budget inadequate for tho conce. torvnls lowitd purposes of tho year, hut there can be no ssiblo excuse for the rolling up of deficiencies from year to year as a matter of course. Thoro ia nothing iu the work of tho Board of Education which procludos tho members from keeping thoir outlay clearly within tho compass of tho resources placed by the proper authorities at tho disposal of the department.

compliment Mr. Whitlock upon tho distinctness with which he has como to realize his responsibility, and now expresses his determination to discharge it Iu tho budgot of ISh'O "certain amounts are inserted for certain pur poses, and I say this to night that as long as am hero I will never countenance tho "drawing of a warrant for one dollar that ex coeds tho appropriation iu tho budget. "What I would ask of you is this: Simply that you shall forecast and anticipate your "wants. If in oithor district anything is wanted or may bo wanted, gather them all "up and iu the proper channel bring them to "the Fiuaneo Committoe, aud lot that commit toe bring them to tho Board. The Board can send them to the Board of Estimate.

If "they refnso to give it to us then we must "stop. Wo must not go on month after "month with resolutions for money, believing that becanso it has boon done before it cau bo done again. I tell you, gentlemen, we "must auticipaU our work and ask for what we want, and if wo cannot get it we must submit." Adhercuoo to this determination will, as an example, exercise a salutary influence upon other departments. It is in tho nature of a crime for gentlemen managing the public education to encourage, by thoir course, politicians who are only too anxious to find some precedent for seizing funds that tho public never intended they should touch. We can but regret that, having gone thus far in a good direction.

Mr. Whitlock did not feel free to place himself in opposition to tho absurd purposes to which a considerable part of tho appropriations for the Board is applied. Until Brooklyn is relieved from the reprflach of requiring tho children of poor parents to produce a certificate of extremo poverty before they can obtain tho use of school books, it is iniquitous to be lavishing money upon the maintenance of studies that only a fortunate few can take advantage of, and which aro plainly not essential a common school education. In this, no less than in the creation of deficiencies, the average member exhibits an utter inability to distinguish between tho work he is appointed perform, and the illogical designs that have been transmitted to him by gentlemen who ire as blind to the proper province of philanthropy, as to the nature of practical education. That a reform in this direction must como is not doubthu in tne judgment.

Tho so called higher education which is being upheld at the public expense is product of crass ignorance. It is an injury to tho schools as a whole, a detriment to most of those who avail themselves of it, a proof that pedantry and illitcrarcy, not reason and scholarship, are aud have been dominant iu the various school boards, and au outrage on the great body of the people. Following in the wake of the President's remarks camo a resolution from Colonel Carroll, Chairman of the Committee on Teachers, providing that during tho year 1880 no teacher's salary shall be raised, because the grades of classes are raised. This, under all the circumstances, is a proper provision, thou 'h it savors of au old and favorite pol icy, that the Board can practice no other retrenchment tliau that of reducing the si'l iries of the teachers. Whenever there is a movement made to lesson the expenditures for edu cation, the public arc asked whother they want to reduco tho salaries of tho teachers, as if there were no other subjects to which, tho pruning knife could be op plied.

This objection does not apply necessarily to Colonel Carroll's resolution tho resolution merely suggests a favorite mode of action against which tho Esole has repeatedly protested. Tho City of Brooklyn is both able aud willing to pay tho teachers liberally for their work, but it is neither ablo nor williug to pay for work that is not wanted, and the trouble with tho Board is that instead of ending the useless activity it squeezes the really efficient laborers whenever retreuchmont is insisted on. The other subjects discussed yesterday wero of a routiuo nuturo. A summary of tho Superintendent's annual report was road for tho information of tho members, and is published in the Eaolf. to day.

A statement was also read from the Superintendent defending his manner of examining candidates for certificates of ability to teach, against somo pertinent and unanswerable criticisms made a few weeks ago by Mr. Huntley. Mr. Huntley stated certain facts withiu tho knowledge of most of the members and painfully familiar to every competent public school principal. There is as little in tho reply as thero is in tho examina tions, aud that, as a rule, is nothing to tho purpose.

The Superintendent appears to think that tho thoroughness of his examinations is attested by the number of applicants he has rejected during the past two years. The question is not as to the persons rejected, but thoso admitted, and even a dunce can soo that if for any reason tho incoinpetont aro awarded certificates tho appearance of equity may bo preserved by denying proper reward to the de serving who appear unbacked by influential friends. Civil War in Itussla. Such is the policy of the Russian Government that rumors of extensive military prep aration on its part obtain ready credence and guIloral Htfclo apprehension Tho Colossus of the North is so completely demor alized 06 to his internal economy with political indigestion that he is compelled to keep his members active in order, by aimless but inces sant activity, to nrovent congestion and fatal inflammation in the inside of him. Tho tole drains from Europe this morning, therefore, dale that he is concentrating his armies on tho borders of Austria and Ger many, aro likely to bo interpreted as au attack on thoso allied powers.

Tho coolness lately existing between thorn and Russia might serve to render such a contingency proba ble, but a glance at the condition of tho latter Power will show that her present aim is not aggressive but repressive. Iu the first place, Russia is in no condition to go to war with anybody. Not oven an invasion of Turkey nomilar it nimbi have been in tho wist, is possible.

THE HAYDKH The Hayden trial was continued yesterdiiyv and tho first wHnos called by tho prosecution was Andrew Hazlolt, who has been froquontly meutionod daring tho trial as Ilazlott, Jfayzou and llazloy. Ho offered hiti naturalization aud army discharge papers, insuranco policies, deeds and other documents, to prove that ho was known by no other name than his own.

Mr. Hayden sworo that he invariably called him Hazou, and tha witness contradicted this statement. In tho postscript of the letter wiittou by Mary Stannard to her half sister. Susan the name Hayden or Ha.ley oocura, and tho wilnoss has been asserted to bu the person re ferred to iu tho lottor. Another witness was tho Bheriff of the county, who exhibited the eight quart tin pail that was carried by Mary Stannard when she gave Mr.

Haydou a drink of water on the day of tho homloido. Tho objoct of thia testimony wa? tb Bhow that thoro waa no necessity for alighting from his carriage to got a drink.

This wit no.

Van Dyke who 6urely is "an honorable man" can now blamo Dr. Spear for referring to tho Eagle's reports of the Talmago trial as authentic, how is it that this irrepressible truth seeker, the Rev. Dr. Van Dyko, never entered his protest against the Eagle's verbatim reports which were used on both sides iu cross examination It is surely too late to shut the stable door after tho horse is stolen, yet Dr. Van Dyke, a geutloman for whose attainments in theology tho Eagle has the highest respect, now finds out, liko David, (hat all men, especially newspapers, are liars, aud himself included.

Dr. Van Dyke's enthusiasm carries him away. The OSagle naa no pecuniary or moral interest in the Talmage trial, and can assure our reverend scold that if it wero false historian ho would not road it himself, which ho confesses to do. Tho noble faculty of memory," said Mr. Samuel J.

Tilden to Mr. Cyrus W. Field, has reached its last estato, when it recalls events that never happened." Tho Talmage trial, like the Hayden trial, dragged its sinuous length along to tho oxclusion of matters of mora importance. Tho difference between tho two trials, however, was this That tho Hayden trial a girl had been murdered whereas, in tho Talmage trial, nobody, so far as wo know, has been hurt, oxcopt Dr. Vau Dyke, aud he only in his feelings.

Wo agree with him that neither the Eagle nor any other newspaper has dono him justice. He, no doubt, did things which ho ought not to have dono aud loft undone things which he ought to have done," which the Eagle did not report with sufficient fullness. As Georgo Stephenson said in tho supposed case of the steam eugmo and tho cow, "so much the worse for tho coo. When Don Quixote drew his sword on a windmill, the mill him over. Tho Eagle has no desire to blow away so eminent a divine as Dr.

Van Dyke, but when he says that tho Eaole gavo false reports of a public trial, in tho in terest of one of the parties, he invites suppres sion as a person conspicuously inexact iu his statements. The iufinito goodness of Heaven alone pre vented something liko a repetition of the Tay Bridge disaster at midnight of Monday. A train on the Long Branch Division of the Now Jersey Central Railroad plunged into the Railway River and sank iu twenty feet of water. Fortunately, it was a fruight train, aud the engineer and fireman jumped from tho engine before it crashed into the bridge and cooled itself iu tho current below. Somo but no lives were lost in this "accident," which was due simply to the grossest carelessness.

The drawbridge was left in charge of a most experienced boy of 15, who claims that ho had just opened the draw to allow two ves sels to pass, aud was closing it when the train came up. Automatic appliances aro attached to tho bridge, by which a danger signal is given when it is open aud removed when it is closed. The enginoor says that the danger signal was not displayed, but inasmuch as the automatic apparatus is in perfect condition aud the bridge was uudeniably open, tho chances favor the conclusion that the engineer did not take the trouble to look. Such accidents" are inexcusable, when the simple precaution of stopping a train altogether at a draw bridge would prevent them. Trains are compelled to corns to a standstill at railroad crossings, why should not the same precaution be taken at draw bridges The recurrence of such catastrophes is gradually forcing upon American railroad builders the conclusions of Eni'hsh namely, that tunnels as substitutes for bridges must eventually be built.

Tho prime cost is much greater, but in the end the tunnel is cheaper, aud has the great advantage of almost positive security. A melancholy suicide is reported from Clove land to day, tho victim being Mr. Leonard Case, the richest man iu the city, whose possessions are estimated as high as $12,000,000. Mr. Case was a singularly liberal man, so lib eral, indeed, as to bo considered eccentric.

He failed, it appears, all through life to grasp that stupendously important truth that every man ought to live for himself alone, ought to fool tho utmost indifference to the sufferings of his follows, and ought to find perfect hap piness in pure, unalloyed selfishness. He en tertained tho preposterous belief that he had money enough and to spare, and actually found pleasure in sharing it with his fellow crea tures who wero in want. Among his public bequests was the site of a building for tho Cloveland library, and stones are told of his slipping as much as $500 into tho hand of a poor but deserving man in sudden aud press ing need. Such a man is very likely to have performed a thousaud acts of unostentatious gooduess, for so firm a grip upon him had the vice of charity obtained that he practiced it in secret. His suicide is doubly to bo deplored, because first it removes from the world a man who bonefited it, and second because it im plies that splendid liberality and unselfishness are allied to insanity, thus corroborating the judgment of the average millionaire.

It is clearly the duty of every Now Yorker to resist any disposition to sickness on the streets of that city. There is but ono torm known to tho materia medico, of the police. and that term is "drunk." No matter what aileth the wayfarer, be he stricken with para lyBis or bo ho ovoreomo with smallpox, ho is simply drunk to tho police, and ho is hauled off to jail and treated accordingly. Not long ago a man fell ovorboard, was arrested as drunk and locked up all night in his wet cloth ing. Result, pneumonia.

Repeatedly men with fractured skulls have been found in thoir cells by physicians, and the blotter merely registered thom as drunk. In fact "drunk' appears to bo a comprehensive torm for tho various ills of the flesh, and behind it stalks the bravo policemen with his dying quarry on his arm. On tho evening of Doccmbcr 27, John Henry Kughlor was found in a fit at the St. Nicholas Hotel. To police jurisprudence.

he was, of course, drunk. At tho station physician attended him, and at the hospital tho next morning it was discovered that tho man's mouth had been as effectually burned as if it were a New York factory filled with human beings, and unprovided with a fire os cape. The doctor who looked after htm says ho was drunk. All the physician did was to hold somo ammonia to his nose to dispel the of feota of tho drunk. Unquestionably some of tho ammonia fell in tho man's mouth, with con flagrational results.

So if a New Yorker finds tho slightest symptom of ill health about himself, his duty to his species is to move out of town straightway. Othorwiso he must consider himself constructively drunk and tako the chancos, which appear to in volvo makintr a reservoir of him for tho safe keeping of a variety of noxiou3 drugs, or night in a dungeon, with tho coronor smiling in tho diBtauco.

Tlio Republican C.cneral Committee Our political readers will find tho report published on the first pago of the Eaole, today, of last night's proceedings in the Republican General Committee, both instructive and amusing.

It will be remembered that about six mouths ago the committee mado things very warm for ex Sheriff Daggett and General Jourdan because thoy had come to an agreement with tho Democrats about the arrangement of tho Sonato districts. That was held to bo an exceedingly heinous political offense, and a majority of tho committee voted to expel Mr. Daggett, but as a two thirds vote was necessary he escaped. Not very long prior to that occurrence, ex Mayor Schroeder was hauled over tho coals for appointing Mr. DeWitt to the ofllco of Corporation Counsel, and his friends had much troublo to prevent a voto of censure being passed on him.

Siuce then tho tables have so far been turned that Daggett, Schroeder, Jourdan Company, have gained complete ascendency in tho committee, and now thoy aro "getting square," as tho boys Bay. It is one of the happy characteristics of the committee, that while it is rarely without a vigorous crop of what are called traitors the members and their opinions change so rapidly that those denounced to day aro morally certain to have tho pleasure of returning tho compliment by and by. Tho Eagle remembers the time when tho committee was as violent against General Tracy, General Jourdan aud Silas B. Dutcher as it was six months ago against Mr. Daggott, and as it was last night against certain other persons to be named presently; yet not many weeks passed before the "Three Graces," lis Tracy, Dutcher and Jourdan wero poeticolly named, wore masters of tho situation and Ed.

Webster was, so to speak, nowhere. These vicissitudes ought to teach politicians to be modest in tho day of thoir power, but they do not, and hence the Eagle derives much amusement from their proceedings and is ontertaiued with the operations of last night. It is not at all improbable that before the year passes wo shall be called on to report another reversal of tho odds. What happened last night was tho excoriation by ex Sheriff Daggett of Commissioners Worth, Laich and Brennan, Mr. Goodrich, Assemblyman Tallmadge, and the Aldermen who participated in what is now familiarly known as the 'deal, and the passago of resolutions denouncing these individuals all and severally as traitors of the blackest possible dye.

Our esteemed contemporary, tho Union Argus, was also placed in the index cxpurgatorius as a treasonable sheet subsidized by Democrats. Mr. Daggett was helped out by tho venerable Joseph Reeve, who, if momory serves us rightly, has been constrained, by his desire to be on the right side of every movement, to be ovflrvthincr bv turns and nothing long. The funniest thing about all this mutual denunciation is that they have all been engaged in tho operations anathematized. The crime charged against tho gentlemon named is that they formed a compact with certain Democrats nrofitablo to the Democrats, to themselves and their friends, but not to the Republicans who are of the opposite faction.

How Dag rrett deals and Schroeder deals can be all right, if these latter are all wrong, is rather more than tho Eagle can explain, unless it is to be held that by inheritance, or royal endowment, Schroeder Co. have privileges denied to their less favored fellow patriots. How much did tho Worth, Goodrich, Brennan, Tall madge Republicans profit by the Shannon deal, for instance If there are to be schemes of this kind at all, why should they stand idly by and help the work along, without participating in the profits This, we apprehend, is the question which the persons under denunciation must have put to themselves, aud it is a question to which, we observe, no answer wrts fur nished last nitrht. Even a blind man can see that all these deals are made for selfish onds. Nobody but a born fool can bo made to believe that they aro devised for tho good of tho city.

This being truo, it would seem to follow that what wo had last evening was a delightful case of the pot calling the kettle black. If reputation does not do Mr. Daggett wrong, he entered into vory decided obligations to the Democrats, when he was running for the office of Sheriff, ond in duo timo discharged them through his friends in tho Board of Aldermen. Indeed, tho ox Sheriff was one of the first of our Republican patriots tn discover how nrofitablo au alliance with the other sido might be mado, Tt is hardlv nossiblo that, when ho, a recent comer, got the nomination over Mr. Worth, who was an old standby, success would have crowned his canvass, had ho not been do nifsivMv helned bv Democrats.

Ho was also indebted to the same influences for tho pas sage of the bill which so largely increased tho emoluments of his office, by giving him control of the foreclosure sales. With this experieueo it is difficult to believe that his abuse of Mr. Worth is more than Pickwickian. General Jourdan has also, at times, shown the same ap preciation of the advantage that comes of having two strings to his bow. For instance, the Democratic Alderman of the Sixth Ward voted to make him Police Commissioner, and in return, liko a grateful man, ho has taken care to rp elpct Mr.

Kane to tho Common Council chamber. Instances might be multiplied, but this Sixth Ward caso is strong enough. The people there are misrepre sented and practically powerlcsB to remedy the evil because tho Gonoral has had a deal with Mr. Kane. The Eagle's attitude toward all such business is well known.

Wo are opposed to it because it is plainly adverse to good politics and good administration. It involves the substitution of chicanery for trust in the people. It aimsby trickery to secure whatshould bo derived only from a ballot clearly and intelligently cast. That it has utterly demoralized tho Republican party in Brooklyn, is cortam, and that, if per sisted In by the Democrats it will demoralizo them is not less certain. When parties ooaso to stand or fall by thoir principles, thoy become rotten, aud when rottenness Bets iu, dissolution, for which deals is but another name, is at hand.

So far as Mr. Worth is concerned, it Bhould bo said in jus tice that ho has nover boon fairly treated by tho moro pretentious Republican loaders of Brooklyn. Ha had oithor to mako a push for himself or consent to bo "sat upon" indefinitely bv his adversaries. That he made it a 35.0) T. 40.0!) A.
