%.. ■FKCIAT. ORDER. -.:'.,
The Senate took up Senate Bill No. 354— An Act
to add a new section to the Political Code, to be
known a- Section 1618, relating to salaries of school
teachers in cities having one hundred thousand in
habitant* or more (by Mr. Trsyior).— tii.l was
read second time and amended. ...
Mr. Nvb moved to strike out Section 2 of the bill,
which fixed th» salaries of teacher in cities having
over one hundrol thousand inhabitant*. He held
"at it was local legislation, which vr<-i sought to be
avoided by the Constitution. , ■*"* ■■•-.•
Mr. C Nona opposed the motion and held that the
Legislature hal the right to pass the bill. ' -
Mr. Jou.nson opposed the motion and urged that
the bill was a just aud proper bill. The San Fran
cisco Board of .Education hart reduced the salaries of
teachers b«!ow the wages of cooks and chamber
maids. It was a blow aimed at the public school*
and their efficiency. It was faleo economy to com
mence reform by the reduction of the salaries of
teachers.- Ho held the bill was perfectly constitu
tional and was not special legislation. If there was
any doubt about it he appealed to the .ate to
give the public schools the benefit of the doubt.
Mr. Hittell indorsed the position of Mr. Johnson.
He held it to be constitutional, and that it would
not interfere with the . local government of the
schools. He held the principals at.d teachors of
public »eh' ols to be in one sense State officers
Mr. DIOKrmOH took tlio same ground. Tiic bill
was undoubtedly constitutional, and it was a just
one. He c ted the beneficial provision* of the bill,
and especially that which allowed the salaries to be
graded aoairding to experience and years of service.
A petition had been presented to :ho San Francisco
Board of Education signed by 20,000 voters, asking
that the old salaries be continued, and it has been
ignored by that Board. He thought the bill -ou o 'ht
to ,'o.s~. '•'--.:
■ Mr Ksoh also opposed tfie motion and insisted on
the necessity of passing the bill. . He gave the
figures in ncraid to the salaries of t achers in San
Francisco, and c lifirmed what had been said by
Messrs. Johnson and Dickinson. He held that the
hill was constitutional and it was demanded by the
pc (>le of * San ■ Francisco. - The Slate contrib
uted $435,000 towards the payment of these teach
ers, and certainly had the right to fix the amount
to be paid to the ■ cacberj. .;,... Zt t -
SI # r. Pardee opposed the motion, He would al
ways raise his voice when he believed an attempt
w_i made to paralyze the pub ie school system, as
was attempted by the San Francisco Board of Kilu-
■ Mr. West favored the motion. He was opposed
to the bill on pniarol principles. : He was not op
posed to the public schools, but he was in favor of
oar republican form »f governnv nt. If the Legis
lature commenced now . to regulate the local affairs
of San Francisco, next year they would carry the
jama principle into every part of the State Because
alooil Board committed an error. was no reason to
overturn the' general democratic principle of local
selfgivernm in. It. was simply destroying the
de-.est rii;hts of the American citizen. ' If the prin
ciple was adopted in regard to the schools they
might as well adopt it in regard to everything else.
He believed that this was the entering wedge that
would lead to centralized government. He was in
ivor of the p bl;c school^ but he deprecated the
practice of making use of the lore of the people for
I the public school system in order to carry into the
law-tprinci.-les that would sap the very foundation
of free institutions. ' •• ■•• . • . ;. : - •:.:-'--■
Mr. Baker was ism prised at the position of . Fen
ator West. That gentlemen had a bill before the
Senate to appro] riate money to erect a Normal
School in Iv 8 Ac gcles. If the position he had taken
I was right he ought to withdraw that i ill. > He held
this bill to be a good on-, and one th.it ought to be
parsed. He held that it was not a special law.
Mr. Oiiasis was a friend of the public schools and
I a friend of tin: teacher*, and for 'hat reason would
vote against the motion and for the bill. When the
State gave money it had a right to say how it should
be expended. Tne state should protect the teach
em fr.itn unfriendly local legislation. "•.:-;. :
Mr Travloii gave the reasons wiiy he introduced
and favored the bill. ■He gave something of the
history of the public schools in fan Francisco. For
a loaf time the teachers there had been under con
stant threats of" reduction of ealar.es. The lost
Board of Education bad cut the salaries down to a
figure so low that it would hardly support existence
and gave uo encouragement to teachers who had
served for years in the pub ie schools to comiuue in
that business. He Imped the motion would noi pre
vail. ■■ .'. ..'■■ '.. ■ .. ' :■■ ■;: - - : ■ • .:.
| Mr. NTS levelled any insinuation that he was op
posed to the public school system. He was its ar
dent friend. He objected to this bill so'eiy on the
ground that it was a violation of the fundamental
principle of our law. - He believed there had been an
abuse in San Francisco, but the remedy lay with
the people • f San Francisco and not with the Legis
lature.. If this rule was good for San Francisco it
wag good for the whole ate. If thepiinciple was
ri^ht let it apply to the whole State.- - .-. --> .--*; "- :■.
Mr. Johnson replied to the arguments of Messrs.
Nye and West. - He quoted Sodgwick on the con
struction of statutory* and constitutional law to
show that tho Legislature was tho judge of whether
ag»nerai law was a special or not. He again
earnestly urged the pas.«as**e of the bill '■ -
Mr. i 'i .vii- spoke again" in f .vor of the bill. This
bill was in no seme spesial legislation. ; This was
! not a case where | the people of San Francisco were
i Hi me interested. The public «cho™ls of San Fran
| cisco were a part of the State system. He would not
he itat« to v .te for a bill regulating the salaries of
teachers all over the sta'e. ■- •'• .'• * .-■••■ '■'■"''■•"■•"'.-.,

The firxt rrc-idrncj.
New Yohk, March 6;h.— A Time*' Loui»
viHe social »ays : ludicati.ins from all over
the St»te »how that Grant will receive the :
support «.f the Kentucky delegates to the
Republican Convention in Chicago, iilaine'a ,
triend. are working hard, but make little
headway against the enthusiasm which the
name of Grant everywhere awakens.
A Tinus' Washington special says: There
are mai.y and gmwi. g iudii-aiioi.g" that tt.e
controversy in regard to the Presidential candi- 1
dates will, among Southern delegates to the
National Democratic Convention, be one of
the most stormy and bitter ever known. ,
There seems to be now no doubt that Mr. ,
Tilden 'a candidacy will prove the chief bone ,
of contention. That he bag any idea of with- J
drawing no well-informed politician from the (
Southern States for a moment believes.
A Herald' > Pittshnrg special says : Colonel j
James P. Barr, of Pittsburg, one of the most ,
prominent Democrats in Pennsylvania, and ]
the head of his party in the Western part of ,
the State, has been in New York for ten days
past, in consultation with the Democratic j
leavers as to the coming campaign. Barr i* ,
a strong Tilden man. He states unequivo- J
cnlly, on the authority of Samuel J. Uandall, j
that Tilden will be a candidate, and believes ,
that Tilden will announce the fact, to the New ]
York Convention*
Chicago, March 6th.— A Tribune New
York special says : A meeting of about 800
Tammany Hall - Democrats was held thin
evening in the Wigwam . for consultation.
Jerome Buck delivered a speech ' full of
reference to that Democracy which seems
now to b9 only a tradition— the ■ good old
Democracy of the Revolutionary epoch *»_nd
of the time of Jefferson, Jackson and Clin
ton. He made d'<arp allusions to Tilden,
comparing him with the eaily Democrats.
Another delegate said he wanted no candi
date tor Fret- iilent who had charges made
against him. He wantsd no railroad wrecker,
no nun who, when elected, had not the
courage to take his teat, no man who, in
stead of showing courage, went out to bribe
and buy votes from Florida and South Car
olina, aud no man who invented the system
of cipher dispatches, 03 his candidate for
President.' [Applause.]. Is the Democratic
party bo poor iv candidates? Where "wag
Church, and Bayard, and Hancock, and Pot
ter, and Thunnan, and Palmer, and last, but
great.- 1 of all, . Horatio- Seymour? [Ap
plause.] The speaker closed by predicting a
great victory for the Democratic party next
fall, if it be only true to- itself and its priu
ciplea. • . '
A Journal* Washington special says :
There has been considerable talk here during
the past twenty-four hours that friends of
Secretary Sherman are considering the advis
ability of his withdrawing from the Presi
dential contest in . favor of Washburne or
Blame. The most supporters of Sher
man's candidacy now concede that he has 1.0
show of obtaining the nomination, but they
believe it is within, his power to defeat the
nomination of Grant by withdrawing now,
and then throwing all his strength in favor of
Washburne or Blaiiie. - It is not ascertained
<1- finitely that Secretary Sherman has fully
considered his step, but it is a fact th.Us 'me
of his mart pronounced friends are firm in
the opinion that it must be taken and very
soon, or the Grant movement cannot be
checked. It is expected there will be some
important political movement within a very
few days in the direction above indicated.
Sherman's friends have lost all their enthu
siasm and confidence as to the success of their
candidate before the Chicago Convention, and
the only question which seem to trouble them
is whether the Sherman delegates will stand
together in favor of Mime one candidate as
against Grant, or, it Sherman withdraws,
whether a portion of the number will not join
the Grant column and thus contribute to his
success. -
A gentleman who lately had a conversation
with Secretary Sherman : sat ß the latter
talked quite strongly against Grant, and said
if the lutter had kept out of the l'n-.-i ieiiti >1
contest Sherman would have secured the
nomination as against iHaiue. Sherman at
tributes his failure, if such it turns out to be,
entirely to the Grant movement.
Convention or Young KepnuL'can* 111
. Huston. ,
Boston*, March (kh. — The Convention of
Young Republicans met to-day. Resclntinng
were offered opposing the nomination of Grant
and . lil.iitit', since ninny consideration*) r. ill
lead a large portion of the Kepublicin party
to vote against either. They declare that a
man like President Hayes should be gladly
supported, and indorse the principles of the
Independent Republican Committee of New
York and of the National Independent Re
publican Leagues of Philadelphia. The res
olutions further urge the establishment of
the public «ervice on a basis of intelligence
and K""J conduct ; the maintenance of spe
cie payments ; the passage of laws depriving
greenbacks of their legal tender quality : the
management by States of their own affairs ;
the enforcement of all national law*, and the
maintenance of equal lights throughout the
country. Several opeakera made an < if.n l to
, have the resolution in regard to Grant and
Blame stricken out, and Senator Crocker
made ■ motion to that effect, but it was lost —
23 to 24. A motion indorsing Edmunds was
lost, and an allusion to Bayard, of Delaware,
a i a candidate, caused considerable excite
ment. , After discussion, the resolutions as
reported were adopted, and an Executive
Committee at large was appointed, and the
Convention adjourned. ■ :■
A Polnl for tht Western I'n'on.
: Chicago, - March Gth. — Thin afternoon, in
the United States Citcuit ; Court, : Judge
Drummond entered an order in the case of
the Western Union Telegraph .Company
against the Wubash Railway Company and
American Ui.i(>n TelrKraph Company, de
creeing that the contract between the old
Toledo, Wahash and Western Railroad Com
pany and the. Western Union Company is
binding on the new \V abash Railway in a 1
respect*, except ax to the ri^lus lof another
telegraph company having acquired the right
to build on the roadway. The Court there
upon restrained the W abash Railway Com
pany, its officers and agents, from interfering
in any way with the lines of the Western
Union Telegraph Company upon the line of
the railroad and offices thereon.

Omaha, March C h.— District Court
of this county heard to-day the motion of the

Telegraph Companies to dissolve or modify
its injunction issue. 1 several days Bgo at the
suit of the Union Pacific Railroad Company,

the companies on both sides to observe the
terms - and : provisions of contract*. '■■ This

the condition of affairs there by extra o'.'«. from
the diary of the correspondent covering § tne
past few days.- He says the military at'lfe he
of the' French Embassy was dragged be<t re
the Chief of Police for looking too attentive V
at a fortress. ■ The correspondent called or»i >
friend early in the evening, but was- refu;*il
admission by the hall porter. '- The next dwT
he had a similar experiei>ceat another friend^*
residence. . Trie only reason giv«n ■by th»
porter for his non-admission was that the cor
respondent did not live there,. bo he conld not
go in. The correspondent says:: "Within
the limits of my street, which last night was
illuminated at every window,. by command'of
the police, I witnessed three quarrels with,
hall porters who refused to give admission, to
persons wishing to visit friends or relations.
. In an adjoining street I saw one arrest for the»
same reason."
Sunday there was a very violent storm of:
wind and drifting snow, and few people were
out. ' The Emperor; in passing from the»
Winter Palace to the usual parade at the
riding school, was escorted by- Cossacks andi
followed by one of the district police masters
in a sleigh. - Those who saw hi* Majesty's
cortege of course removed their- caps. One
unfortunate individual, whoce sight was im
peded by a large bashlik over head, did
not doff his head-dress, and was dragged off
to the police station. * Th« latest instruction
to the hall porters is, that they must not sit
at their posts on the streets at bight. Every
night may be seen groups of big, drowsy
bouse porters, muffled up in their sheepskins,
leaning against each gateway, earefullv nurs
ing the large keys which have turned lock* en
the whole town. As each person passes - by,,
they watch him until he disappears from
sight and pases into the jurisdiction of
another watebnan. .

New York. March 6th.— A dispatch from
Paris say« : Mouravietf 's account of the visit
of two members of the Revolutionary Com
mittee is decidedly dramatic ami sensational.
lie states that, this morning, while in bed at .
his hotel, a servant brought him the card of a
gentleman whom he recognized as an old
friend, and he directed that he be at once
shown up. This was followed by tie entrance
of two men, . evidently partially, disguised,
who, on entering, locked the door, and pre
sented weapons, told Mouraviiff : if he con
sented to listen quietly to what they had to
say, they would not harm his person, but if'
he attempted to ring or call for help, they
would kill him on the spot and Kit out as
they entered. The advocate had no choice
but to obey, and his visitors proceeded, in
low, emphatic tones, to state the decision of
the committee in reference .to Moura—
vjeff's connection with the Hartmann
case. Mouravieff says that he was as
tonished to recognize in these men
a well-known Professor in a. prominent
Ku'Sian educational institution, and a Col
onel in the 'Russian army, who had distin
guished himself in the Ku».-o-Tui kish war,
aDd been decorated by the Czar himself. He»
replied to their threats by assuring them that
lie he d I. is life at no higher i ate that they
held theirs. If they were ready to ; risk
everything for the cause they had espoused,,
he was equally ready to risk his for his Czar
and country. The interview ended by the
members of the committee exacting from
him a promise not to reveal the fact of their
visit until they had been at least mm hour
gone from the house. With further warn
ings of serious results sure to follow to him
self if he perMitcd in pressing the extradition,
of Hartniann, . they took their departure.
MoL<ravi> if, after recovering from his agita
tion, proceeded to the Palais^ dc Justice,

pired, arid left with the Prefect an accurate
description of the personal appearance and
