A CITY OF (OVE: ANTS WITHOUT A MON SCHOOL,

To the Editor of the Daily Beaminer.

Dear Sir,— Legally speaking there is not at this moment asizle Government School in Operation within the precincts of this city. The machinery provided by the new School Act for Charlottetown is not yet in working order. The Government, it is true, has appointed its quota of Trustees, whose Chairman, we understand, is the Hon. James Dunesn, and the Secretary, pro tem, W. FE. Dawson. Eg. The City Council has altogether withdrawn, and re- fuses to take any action whatever in the measure. And, although the Act gives the Government nominees the power to act independently of the City Council, still the Government will find it difficult to work the Act efficiently ov satisfactorily without the co-operation of the City Council or their nominees. We do not wish to dis- pute Mr, W. E. Dawson's ability to per- form the duties of Secretary for the Board of which he is a voling member , but we do doubt the legality as well as the pro- priety of his doibg so. From the very nature of things, he cannot, in his present position, be the right man in the right place, as the Secretary of the Board of Trustees,

We ‘have not yet learned that there has been any reyi/iriy constituted mecting of “ The Beard of Sehool Trustees of Cuar- lottetown,”’ nor indeed, can there be until a Secretary be duly appointed and install. ed into his office; with the necessary ap pliances to’ do ‘his work. ‘lhe Seeretary’s Port foliowill not be a light ome, nor his office a sinecure.

The twenty. clauses of the Pubiie Schools’ Act, which relate to the “Yowns’” are, as a whole, complicated and not a little difficult to iully understand. It is well Tor the Board of Trustees that it has one good, ex- perienced lawyer on its ro!!,

lL would “bring to the notice of those Teachers who have charge of the City Dis-

trict, Schools—ii there are. any such —the

directions set forth in the 93rd Clause of their new Act, particulary tie latter part of Section #’of that clause, which reads thus : “(The ‘Trustees aré) to provide fuel and light and defray-the contingent expenses , to have the custody and sate keeping of the School property of the District, and to insure the Scho | Honsés: 6 cContraci with and pay? the salarves of Peavhers,” &e. ly peruse the whole of the 93rd Clause. of the Act. and learn its true import, or else, they may be teach- ing under no law, nor by any properly con- stituted authority and consequently, in the meantime, jose the reward of their labor. Their labors may be acknowledged by the Government; but ceriuinly they are not yet legalized,

OUR WASHINGTON’ LETTER.

Wasaincror, D. J., July 10,

The noise, fire and bloodshed very gen< erally attendant upon a 4th of July celes bration, hitherto, m our large cities, have caused the citizens to look forward to it with secret dread and misgivings rather than with the patriot’s heart throbbings that such a day, all laden with the most sacred reminiscences and associations as it is, should awaken within us. The conse quences Of this sort of amusement at the hands of heedless boys and foolish men are really lamentable. Reliable statistics show that during the last decide thousands of lives have been lost, still more persons in- jured and many million dollars worth of property destroyed by the the reckless use of firesworks. Fifteen million dollars worth of property has been destroyed in two fires ia the United States in the last ten years, both of which resulied from Chinese fire crackers, and in the same time damages caused by various fireworks are estimated at not less than $50,000,000 besides the large sums paid for the destructive agents themselves. It is to be deplored that we should have to suffer so severely before taking the decided measures now being taken for the suppression of this mischief. [t is deplorable that we as a race, as a peo~ ple, and as individuals, must be beaten with so many severe stripes before we can learn the lessons of prudence, forethought and discretion that natural common sense ought to teach us. But ‘thus it is all over the earth.” We can profit by no man’s ex- perience, nor byrour own, in fact, till it be~ come; so bitter that a reeptition of the draught fairly shakes us.

it has been a matter of gossip here, that upon the question of the remonetizition of silver, the President and the Secretary of |the Treasury are not altogether in accord. |He has not believed in the policy of the (1873 Act, which forbade the courage of the silver dollar, and has lield that the United | States is bound, legaily and equitably, to | pay its debts in no other than the constitu- tional currency of goid and silver coin, Whereas Secretary Sherman's record shows /him as holding guite diferent opinions. | There is good authority now, however, for

jsaying that the Secretary and President

hold one’ and the same opinion,—that is,

}they are determined to hold togetber on ‘the matter for the sake of strength and

/ joff so long that, in our gratefulness, we i have thought we could bear it very weil land without murmuring when it did come upon Us, as We knew it must with very liitle | more lingering. We now find ourselyes wondering if we can endure another such ; melting day and night as the last. That is the insuiterable part of our climate—the hot nights, The atmosphere all. heavy with the burning and broiling of the sunn; day does not cool perceptibly during the night hours, and we have no time to draw «long breath, but lie and pant and fan the night away, only enduring because we must. I heard the heat described in the most intensely expressive manner by a northern gentleman recently. He said it Was such a ‘still hot that even the poplar leaves were motionless from exhaustion.’ itis said to be doubtiul if Sir Edward Thornton returns {o Washington as Minie- ter, as he is entitled to promotion in his profession, and will probably receive it be- fore autumn. His family will be missed ia society here, although the young ladies have never really been ‘‘out.” They made their debut at the Queen's last drawing- room, Lady Thornton having been pre- sented to the Queen during a previous visit to England. ‘hey are a thoroughly good family—good in the best sense of the word always Courteous and glad to be of service to others.

Drownep.—T wo young men named Pou- lin, while fishing ia Montgomery river, at Laval, on Sunday, were drowned in a deep bole known as the Douglas hole; and uncle who tried to rescue them was also drowned.

SEVEGE StormM.—The captain of the fish- ing schooner, who arrived from the Gulf on Saturday, reports that some days ago seve- rai fishing schooners off Gaspe were sur~ prised by a sudden and heavy storm: several of the vessels were driven ashore and wrecked, and the crews drowned,

Tne Lumeer Trape.—The total number of rafts of square timber that have passed over the Chaudiere Slides (near Ottawa) this year up to date is 78; last year during the whole season it reached 14. The num- ber of logs passed through the Calum Slides up to date 1s 660,000, and for the season of 1876 there were 1,900,000.

Mr. Mowatt said at Kingston the other day that Mr. Mackenzie deservea great credit for the way he carried on the ‘iov~ ernment at @4tawa; and Mr. Mack:nzie said that Mr. Mowatt deserved great credit for the way he carried on the Government at Toronto. Then they both winked a sig- nificant wink-with the left eye and smiled, — West Durham Neus.

About the hardest luck with lawyers we ever heard of was that which recently befell a Lonisyille negro. He “as found to havea $100 bill, and was not unnaturally arrested on suspicioa of having stolen it. He gota lawyer to defend him, and proved that it was his own money, but his counsel wanted

‘all but $20 of the sum for his services, | whieh made the negro so mvl that he left ‘the whole with him.
