' ? o An'important newspaper consolidation c him taken place at Cincinnati, that o( tho i i 'iiiiiiiuTi'i'iil and Gaxtttf. This in the tend- b eiicy of tho times, fewer papers in the largo title* and better oneu. These two papers 'i will make it powerful unit and produce, q we iloubt not, tho best paper ever published * in Cincinnati. They were both Republican tj before, ami tho new paper, into which they U ure merged, will also be Republican. w 1 ? ii NI?VI>nk? ??r tlie Mill*. tl Aii secernent woa readied yesterday at ri I lie Pittsburgh meeting by which nil tho J] nail mills west of the mountains will stop ]| (or one month from January 15th, or uutil w the liiili of February. This action is tho ]*, result of a cessation of tho demand for tr nails experienced in all the milltt during tl the last two weeks, indicating that the ?' markets were fully supplied for thy season 11 uf the year and witiiout confidence in the Mtiiro of prices. It will tend to sub- ? tain the market and sustain the present rates of mill labor, and thus result in sav- Ki iiiK tl?' spring business all around. With a month's product out cf the market its HC * tone will be speedily improved. There is "] very reason to expect a good demand in M February. et Tiik ruinurkn of I>r. liildreth beforo the re Hoard ?I Kducatiou, pubtiaiiud this morn- fu imr, deserve attention. The opinions he w j-xpresses in regard to the proper object ^ and (unctions of the schools are those long |U iiulii and expressed by this paper. We tii have for years contended that there was a tl diaposittofi to depart from the fundamental idea that underlies the Common School burden it not only with no nee- b< i-rtJiary expense but a practically useless J? curriculum. Jle shows how theiigures are j" continually mounting higher, how the de- ^ immd for more school joom is increasing, m ami how inadequate are the results. He ui aims to show that much of the capacity of ^ the Hchool houses is taken up with grades of pupilage that have grown out of theprea- di cut curriculum of studies, and that these ? advanced studies have, a* it were, mono- ?j polued the space that belongs of right to tt, theelementary branches for the teaching of v< which the schools were organized. Ah to w the Doctor's plan for briuj? ubout a proper distribution o( the present capacity of the U) Kcbouls, we cau only bay that is better to a< do something of this kind than to start an w agitation for more room. Tbe room be- * longs to the grade of scholars and studies d, for which the Common School system was at instituted, and should not be monopolized to tbe detriment of these grades by pupils ^ of an advanced line of studies. = ai TIip Sitle oflhc iiiMrnrMHUM Itoml. (Q As announced yesterday, tbe sale of this bc road baa been ordered for tho 5th of February, the appraisement having been completed. This sale is made to BatiBly the *' unpaid, interest on mortgage bonds other p, than tbe ?700,000 of preference bonds with tbe proceeds of which tbe road was finally J( completed to tbe Ohio river. On these di preference bonds tbe interest has been of paid up. The unpaid interest, ou other ll mortgages amounts to something over a ?u million of dollars, and it is to satisfy this til overdue ami unpaid interest that the sale tb bus been ordered. cl Tbe sale will oi course wipe out tbe th stock, and President Chamberlain aud bis tit associates will acquire the road. This no hi doubt has been the programme for a long th time past. Aud while it is a perfectly legal vr transaction it is one that does not reflect to credit ub a forbearing transaction on those m who are parties to it. n, The road has been doing well, all things er conm'dered, tills year. It hua paid oil' all n< ils floating debt, and has aa increasing imsineas'at paying rates. Had the men at Sjj the head of it taken hold of this Indebted- b\ a(.hj in tho spirit of perfectly fair and jn square dealing they could have funded the jJ overdue interest and met it in the next y( jearortwoas they have met tho floating D indebtedness. Or again they could have ^ reorganized the road on a basis of both Jj? bonds and stock, as the Marietta and Cm* p, cinuati road was lately" reorganized or as iW Chesapeake A Ohio was reorganised at an earlier day. *' Hut this does not seem to have been the programme. It was too slow aud perhaps j( t to equitable a process. The conclusion r<J hm been to go for all that was in sight and aj possess the road by a sort of Cuop d'etat. The public will place its own judgment at on this transaction. They will not forget co the inducements held out aud importuui- m ties used to induce tho people between the m Ohio river and Uhrichsvillo to subscribe the money that is now to be confiscated by ^ tliid etde, Some of them wiil no doubt (u rfoau .Mr. Attorney Taylor a sanguine pro- as diction* and Mr. Chamberlain's own rc words of sublime contldcncc. It is pre- li\ anrued (hat (bo principal pushera who will bj be heiielHtcd by this sale aro tbe l'resi- ei: denl, iJireetora Stone and Streator uijd ? their bondholding colleagues. The salo will not carry with it the good will of the w; public. The public will contrast this pro- ** tiling with the successful ell'orU tliat it were made to give tlio Cleveland & Pitts- si1 burgh road to its stockholders when it was H< Jj] financial btmitfl. ?t - : vi A OA HI).
