The asub-comnilttee on education of Iha Com?
mittee oi Seventy has ina?le answer to the objec?
tions to the pendiuj,' educational bill raised by a
meeting of public school teachers opposed to the
enactment of the bill. It Is shown that some of
tho statements ia the teachers' resolutions are
Inaccurate, iliat others create a wiOtSfl impres
sion, aud that ?till oiher objections to the unas
ure do not affect the teachers in. the Isastt The
main objection intiie teachers' minds Is uii<l<)tibt
edly the abolition of the present Hoards of School
Trustees, which constitute one of the most vicious
features of the existing system. The reason why
the tcai'hers co-opera to with tho trustees to ON
vent tho abolition of the latter Is dosJT to ?ill
familiar with our bchool system. The bill in
question, which has passed the Ass? mbly, should
ccrtaJuly receive favorable action in th ? Senate.
Tl.ero was a eignlflcaut contrast between the
Speeches <?f our Ambassadors at I.onilou ami
Paris made at the banquet of the new American
Society in Londm last evening Mr. l'ay.inl
dwelt on what he termed the vigorous action ?if

honor of the United States abroad, and had minli

What possible reason can Republican Senators
from rural ? 1 i s i p i ? ? i< have for opposing Asiiembly?
man Oonkling'g bill to prevent the colonization
of voters In tin?, and other cities? it ?s well
known thai colonization has been one of the
ways In which big Democratic majorities have
becii ?rolled up in New-York. Mr. Conkling's
hill, which has already pa?ssed the Assembly,
mak.s the entirely reasonable requirement that
lodging bouse keepers In New-York, Brooklyn
and Buffalo shall keep a register <?f their "gueats"
from s.']ii?'inln'i' to November, with roch descrlp

ih.? Committee ?>n ?Cities he relieved fr??in th?> fur?
ther consideration of tl'?* Conkllng bill, and In?
timated that it was the committee's intention to
smother the meaaure. Hi*? motion was defeated
in a small h?ins?'. (Senator Paraona, chairman of

TO Mi:. EDWARD LAUTEKBACB.
s.?. ?Edward! You ha?l no Idea when you gave
t?> th?> ]ii-"ss your "Addregg to the Republlacan
votera <?f the State" of April a that ?any one would
make the mistake of rapposlng that you did it
in yonr repreaentatlve capacity as President of
tin? Republican County Committee! V??u ?li?! it
as nn Individual, exercising the rl^iit <.f free
speech I You did not, perhaps, observa that it
was given out as an emanation from "the Pre -i
dent of the Republican County Committee," and
?jo appeared In all the newspapers! Or, if you
did, it ?liil not occur t.a you that ih?? publleatlon
of your ctfflclal title In ??onnectlon with the Ad
iir?--s bad any significance! N<?: probably not
And it ?li'i ii"t occur t?? you either that Ita being
?sent out "ti the ?lato ..f its Isaue to newspaper
editors up th.- State, accompanied by a "confi
dentlal" communication signed by Charles \V.
Uackett as chairman of the ?Republican 81 i ?
Committee, and B. B. Odell, Jr., as chairman of
?the Executive CommItt.ee, In which It wag de
scribed as the- "statement of t!i" Hon. l..lu.n.|
"Lauterbach, chairman of the Republican Coun
"iy Committee," .n : i ? 1 "a faithful review of the
situation and ? f events leading up lo It," might
have a mideading effect! Oh, no. You did noi
suppose that i tais, document, though offlcl .1 In
fe>riii. from the State Committee's letter-head to
the signature b of the chalrmi n. would delude any
one with the notion th.it ?...in* "Address" was
anything more than an expression of opinion by
an Individual Republican fired vvi'h ??eal f r Re
publican harmony 1 And you did not think that
aposaibly the newspaper editora up the State, who
for r?as..ns ?h'.Nire to keep ??ti ????"1 terms with
State Committee, migh! "n that account
y.?ut* Address more Importance than yonr name
a^ an Individual vot? would give it! No; p?rob
ably not Thai is what we uiulersUUMl y?.>u to
say.
But did you observe, ?Edward of courM you
did, you couldn't help II that Messrs. Hacketl
and Odell, speaking for the- Republican party ??f
the State of New-York, of which they ar?- tin'
official org ?us. deacribed j"u as **ona of the f?ora
"iii...-i members of the ?recent Oonatltntl mal ?Con
"v?;iti..n,'' and as "a tUad*agiilglMd lawyer and
n gentleman <>f ipotlesa t'haracter"? What <ii?l
they mean by that, Edward? i?:?i they mean
that Mr. Joseph 11. Cheats and Mr. Ellhn Root,
who signed th?- Address which evokeBd your Indlg?
nant outburst and whom you describe as "am
bltioug ami envious men" "bent upon iIm ruin
??f :h?-ir ?party," were l? se "foremost" than you
in the Contrtituttonal ?Convention of which all
tin'?.- were members? <?r that they are l? m "dis
tlngulsbasd" .'is lawyers; or that they ur?- n?at
gentlemen, as you ar??, "of spotless character"?
What vv?re- y?.u thinking of, .Edward, when you
procured the Blgnaturei of lbs chairmen of the
Republican State Committee and the sai
?.i the Republican party of the Stats to a <?? ?rtlfl
??.it?- ??f your official charact?er as chairman of the
Republican ?Co inty Committee, your public char
a.-icr as "i'.ir?in.?si m?ember of the Constitutional
Convention," your professional character as ?
Led lawyer," ?and your private char
acter as "spotless " to aid in the circulation of a
scurrilous att.'i'k upon the character and motive -
of Mi' h men as Joseph II. ?1 !boate and Ellhu Boot,
whoae sole <.fi'?-ni-' ?consisted In signing s resp?ecl

not wise. Mesara. Cboate and U???' aro quite
w. il known. They bold a pretty high place In
public eateem. it i??-i"ii^s to them, for ihey
earned it. Yonr fame, Edwtud, is more recent;
and, you will pardon us for saying so, attaches
more to your ?patron and client than to yourselt
it was an obvious mbrtake <?n your part t?? iu

Invoke the aid of the whole Ucpul>ii?an ?party ?af
th?* Stats to ?sustain your own rather compli?

You waited ?some ?time, Edward, abefore ?making

?THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE UNHEEDED.
Prom ib" way in which hi? suggestions aro

they hold so low an opinion of his character and

They certainly can be under no mich mlsapprc

litical or financial purposes. Their course is up
parently ?In?1 t.? utter forgetfulnesa of the cour
