THE DUFFY-JACKSON CASE. Saturday afternoon J. H. Duffy, in regard to whose practice in the Police Court J. C Jackson made some damaging statements on Friday, an account of which was published in this paper, appeared in Court in re sponse to a citation issued by Judge Henry. J. C. Jackson was sworn, and repeated his former statements in a candid, straight for ward manner. Mr. Dutfy wis then sworn, and stated that he had been permitted to practice in the Court for several years, though he had no license. His further statements were as fol lows : I agreed to defend Jackson for $10, bat made no agreement about charging no fee if a conviction was made, and never prac ticed in that way ; I afterwards also agreed to prOMCntt Jackson's opponent for £15 ; I got SO 50 from him, and afterwards he gave me his watch, which I pawned at his request for £J GO ; I tiled a statement on appeal with A. B. Veuabie, who was acting City Attor ney ; I applied for a reduction of the tine, bat was refused. I made an appeal bond which 1 thought was a good one, and Mr. YenaMe put his seal on it as Notary Public. We met the Judge ou the street afterwards, and I told him i was going to get Jackson out on bond. [The witness was here interrupted liy Jud^e Heury, who denied that anything had been said about a bom.] I afterwards riled the bond with the keeper of the prison ; he saw the sureties were good men, and Jackson was released ; I thought $100 was enough, as that was the customary Ire ; I had not got an order from the rt, or had the bond approved, but told officer to take it up, and have it approved b day. I did not tell .Tackson anything jt a sixty days' stay of proceedings. I did best I could to secure defendant's dis -:r, !!::ule the bond in good faith, and did know it was worthies?. T. Jooet addressed the Court, and said tever the result of the case was, he hoped no one would take occasion to unjustly as s lil or make insinuations against the bar on at of the actions of one who did nut belong to the profession. 1. S. Brown asked the Court to make an onltr that none but licensed attorneys be permitted to practice in the Police Court. ludge Henry f-aid he would take the mat under consideration. He also said believed Mr. Duffy knew that he i not pursuing the proper course HI he made the pretended bond, and wit to be his duty to act otherwise. He 1 for the present he would make no order concerning Mr. Dnify, but intended to talk to the young man plainly and give him some good advice.

No Kxtra Poi.icemes.— The Board of Police Commi-i-ioners and Board of City Tru-tees met Saturday in joint session to consider the proposition of increasing the p ilice force and as to whether money could be transferred from another fund to the police fund for the payment of the salaries of the extra officers. The members all stated that they had har.rd complaint about the sys tem of having special officers. Chief Karcher, especially, advocated the proposi tion to lii-i-jiitinue the practise, aud favored the increase of regular officers, because he thought it for the best interests of the city and that seven-eighths of the taxpayers de sired it. Mayor Turner stated that a fund futticiect only to pay twelve men had been assewed ; that the fund of last year was not sulHcit-nt to pay the oflicers for the last month, an.l that money could not legally be transferred from one fund to another. City Attorney Ar.d rson coincided in the latter opinion, aud it was finally decided that an increase of the force was impracticable, and the meeting .was adjourned. Two Wanderers. —Officer Woods has ar rested two one 13 years old and the i other 14, who gave the names of Maggie C >rnwell and Sadie Jones. They came to the city a few nights since and claim to have walked all the way from Stockton, having i left home on account of the ill-trtatment of [ the people with whom they lived. Since coming here they have wandered about the streets at night, -sleeping sometimes on the balconies of the Capitol building and at i others at the notorious Offjt House, on L street. The girls are well grown, decently clothed, and are intelligent, though they ap i parently care little for their incarceration. Theyohjecr, however, to going back to Stock ■■;•. saying they would stay here and work if ■ they could find employment. The Chief of I Police of Stockton has been notified of their whereabouts and it their friends desire their : return they will be scut back.

The meeting was held in the church proper, the Sunday-school chapel being altogether too small for such an occasion. The church au ditorium was filled in every part by a deeply interested audience. The children of the Sunday-school occupied seats in the body of the church nearest to the rostrum. Among the audience were several Senators and As semblymen. The exercises were quite lengthy and were very pleasing. They began with an anthem by the full choir of the church. The teachers of the school then lead in the pronouncing of ths one hundredth Psalm. The school, the choir and the audience then sang the familiar hymn, " Crown Him Lord of All." Key. Dr. Bentley then pronounced an invocation. The school sang the S'>nci;ty-school song entitled " Infinite Tenderness." The voices of the pupils were clear, the enunciation very dis tinct, and the singing of the hymn made feelingly tffective by the earnestness and freshness of the tones of the boys and girls, who appeared to be under excellent drill, and to have been taught the sentiment and mean ing of the hymn as well as the words. Mr. Maybell, the Superintendent of the school, then read his annual report. From this read ing it was gleaned that the school was e>t:ib li.-hed in IXSO, and has had an uninterrupted existence since that date, meeting with suc cesses and reverses, at times greatly prosper ous md again subject to the obstacles which had beset the growth of the community. The school, he said, has now 100 scholars, who are taught by 10 teachers and supervised by three officer*. The average attendance during the past year has been 10S, and the largest attendance reached 24.. The receipts for the year past amounted to $235 80. Of this sum $2il 34 went for missionary uses and $198 52 for incidental and current ex penses of the school, leaving on hand the sura of i'S. The Superintendent called at tention to the difficulty experienced in so many Sunday-schools of securing the con stant service-) of competent teachers, and he made an earnest plea for more laborers, for more effort in behalf of the religious educa tion of ths children through the methods in use under the Sunday-school system. At the conclusion of the reading of the report a del egation from each class came forward and made recitations of scriptural and other se lections appropriate to the occasion. This exercise was entertaining, and interested the auditors much. The school next sang " Only remembered for what we have done." Assemblyman Chancellor Hartson, of Xapa, was then introduced, and addressed the school. His remarks were adapted to the in telligence of the children, and were earnestly and feelingly delivered, Keeping the attention of the pupils and interesting them to such a de gree that they made their pleasure manifest. Mr. L)e Yoe then sang a selection. Governor Perkins was next introduced, and spoke to the school at length. He dwelt Ion? and forcibly upon the possibilities for the youth of the laud, ami urged the boys and girls before him to treasure up the counsel given them in the school as they would precious gifts, which they must realize would in all after life be of incalculable benefit to them. He warmly iu dorsed the Sunday-school as an institution, and the system adopted by churches of gather ing the children once » week to give them moral lessons and to impress upon them the religious truths adhered to by the Chris tian churches. He viewed the Sun day-school as a moral force, aa a great instrument of good, one which should be fostered and encouraged. The children applauded the remarks of the Governor by a Vigorous clapping of hands, and at some of his anecdotes laughed merrily over the humor thrown in. The school then sang the beauti ful hymn, " Whiter than Snow." A collec tion was taken for the benefit of the school treasury, and Key. L>r. Bentley then made the closing addresf, which \v;>.s brief and full of thanks for the encouragement given the school by so large an attendance upon its anuiversar}-. He referred to the speeches by Governor Perkins and Assemblyman Hartson thankfully, and said that their appearance was in the same spirit which actuates the public men in the English Parliament, who, members of the Established Church, or dis senters, or members of no church, yet feel it a duty and privilege to appear at the Exeter Hall meetings, and give them their moral support. The doxology was then sung, and the audience was dismissed. AUDITOR'S REPORT. E. 11.

Recqrd-Union : With your per mission, I would, through your columns, call the attention of my friend "J. to the fol lowing Act, approved December 13, 1875 : Section 1. The text-books in use in the public schools during the years eighteen hundred and sev enty-three, eighteen hundred and seventy-four and eighteen honored and seventy-fire shall be contin ued in use in all the public schools of this State until otherwise provided by statute, any provisions in the existing law. or any act of the Mate Board of Education done, or to be done, to the contrary not withstanding. Section 2. This Act shall be in force from and after its passage. This law was still in force at the time cf the adaption of the new Constitution, and if ",J."' will turn to the lints of buuks adopted durini; the time covered by the same he will find more books prescribed than is mentioned in my communication to the Board of Super visors. I submit these lists, which show the number to be greater than before mentioned, but the liat is long and the public has al ready seen most or it. I submit the question of the propriety of repuhlUbing it to your selves. F. L. Landed, Late County Superintendent. Another Disgusted One. — The boss puzzle craze has soured another individual, whose disgust leads him into the error of as serting that this peper has said the 13, 15, 14 can be worked into a sequence — quite the contrary.

I never use harsh language — that i<>, hardly ever. But when you cay that 13, l r >, 14 cau be worked into a sequence, you lie.

The water of course has fljwed out into the tule lane.-*, where no resistance was offered, and but lit tle damage has been done. Reports from the islands down the river show that the levees have not been injured, or even seriously threatened. The storm on the mountains Saturday was a severe one.

A Fox Story. — A correspondent at Gansevoort semis the New York World a remarkable fox story, the action of which took place in the town of Moreau, thirteen miles north of Saratoga Springs. The hero is a member of the Howe family, who have acquired a reputation throughout the country as successful hunters. Foxes have been unusually plenty this year, and a number of very successful hunt* have been had, but this one of the Howe family caps the climax. A few days since they started in the early morning for the Palm ertown mountains, and as soon as the hounds were started each hunter posted himself where he thought it likely the foxes would run. Peter, the eldest Howe, was favorably stationed and expected to get a shot at one, at least, of the "cunning varmints," but great was his surprise, soon after the hunt began, when not one but seven foxes approached him down the side of the mountain and made directly for his "stand." Undismayed by numbers he calmly awaited the proper time, and then, while the foxes were closely huddled to gether, let them have both barrels of buck shot, killing or wounding every one of the foxes. •-♦ ■ Nekve. — It is a great thing to have what is called nertr, and nothing contributes more to the power of physical control thus named than Warner's Safe Nervine.
