Drowned. —George Dietz, a German about
fifry-fuur years of age, a soap mater by occu
pation and living next to the Catholic Church
in Bridgeport, was drowned yesterday after
noon about two o’clock, in the river, nearthe
St. LouU, Alton & Chicago Railroad bridge.
The deceased was intoxicated at the time and
was attempting to cross the bridge. Some
boys saw him fill into the river and swim, for
n short lime. They cried for help, but before
belp arrived, the man was drowned. Coroner
Schmidt held an inquest yesterday, and a ver
dict was rendered in accordance with the fact.
A Convenient Arrangement. —The Post
master his ordered a bulletin to be displayed
at the north end of the east vestibule of the
Post Office, next the stamp window, giving
the hours of opening aud closing of every
mail. The same bulletin will also announce
nny detentions of mails which may occur and
the exact status of each mail, so that any fu
ture inquiries of the clerks in this direction
will be obviated. While this arrangement is
a most valuable and convenient one for the
business public, it also relieves the clerks

Upon matters outside of their spheres, and
will expedite business byallowinglhem to at
tend to their peculiar duties withontinterrup
tion.

penny whistle. There can be no more beauti
ful way of displaying friendship and affection.
The first page of this day's issue will be found
crowded with advertisements—Santa Claus
directories for the procuring of eveiy con
ceivable gift to suit the most rigid economy
cr generous prodigality. Consult them and
procure your gifts before the sun sets to
night Line the stockings of the little ones
and make joyful the hearts of the grown-up
children. For what is a Christinas, if not a
merry one ?

A Contemptible Scoundrel.
The Chicago Times of yesterday morning
contains a most brutal, devilish and unpro
voked attack upon New Englanders, and
almost the entire clergy of tbia city, naming
them personally—an attack which no ™an bat
tx scoundrel and a brute would have made.
3Eveiy epithet which a depraved, filthy mind
Could conceive is applied .to a large class of
our most prominent citizens; the inen who
xepresent our large business interests, and
arc prominent in all religious, charitable, and
educational enterprises. For secession hatred
and malicious dcvlUsbncss, we have never
Been its counterpart. Even the sanctity of
tie pulpit is not respected, and eleven cler
gymen—Revs. Dr. Everts, Dr, Tiffany, W. W.
Patton, H. L. Hammond, L. M. Hmnphrev,
Prof. Bartlett, J. E. Hibbard, Robert Patter-
Eon, Robert L. Collier, Dr. Eddy, and Robert
Collycr—and through them, eveiy person at
tending upon their ministrations, are sub
jected to the most malicious and filthy abuse
ever penned. Eveiy New Englander who has
a spark of self-respect, who remembers the
glorious memories of his home and the father
and mother he has left behind him, will not
only refuse to touch the filthy sheet, hut to
kick it over his threshold as he would a
loathsome reptile. What adds to the vindic
tUctivc spirit of the article Is the fact that the
man who wrote it, polluted to his lips with
immorality and treason, was bom in Ver
mont, and educated in a religious institution
In that State.
He vrill live to bitterly me the day he
penned that article. Let every New Englau de r
an future remember the filthy abuse and
lannis as to his birth place, heaped upon him
by that sheet.

Frogresr—The Problem of the Bace.
Xu spite of the "wretched "weather last even
ing Bryan Hall "was crowded upon thci
occasion of Rev. Hr, Tlfiany’s last lecture
of his series—subject: “ Progress—The Prob
lem of the Bace.” The lecture was an elo
quent effort, replete with earnest thought
and thrilling, passages, which were received
with even* mark of satisfaction. "We give be
low a brief summary:
The general fact of progress is claimed by
all parties in Church and State, and in
Society. To question the assertion is
to expose one’s self to the charge of
old fogyism. Men point to commercial,
manufacturing and agricultural success;
to churches, schools and benevolent en
terprises—yet these have all tailed to fulfill
the instinctive prophesy within ns. Business
success has developed unblusliing crime
Churches arc mostly filled by sensationista
Educational establishments are intellectual
forcing-beds, where many realize the experi
ence ol young Toots, who, “when he began
to have whiskers, left off having brains.”
Men of letters and men of science are great
by advertisement, and the world is filled with
“bogus.”
. Symptoms of progress were found by some
m clumge—these are the restless and discon
tented classes, who like everything new.
They are caught by the outward resiuts and
overlook the inward causes. They think pro
gress external, while it is change which is ex
ternal—a result, of which progress is the
cause.
Others locate progress in prosperity; but
this, though it attends progress, docs not con
stitute it. As a people we are apt to take
monied estimates of everything. If a man
makes money, he Is the man of progress. He
may be ignorant and mean, but men accept
his invitations and eat his dinners, drink his
wine, criticise his pictures, and laugh at him
all the while, hut think it rather a good thing
to be on his list; while others, not affected by
his snobbery, and unrcacbed by his invitations,
envy them. The mere utilitarian only is satis
fied with prosperity. All his proofs arc mere
indications of progress,but prosperity does not
meet the soul’s wants nor satisfy the mind.
Others find progress in education and cul
ture, but these, while they supply defects, arc
not satisfying and complete. There is a high
culture in which there is no God, and which
docs not lift man above his own original
Religious sentiment which others claim as the
chief clement and proof of progress is as fa
natical in its as godless culture is
atheistic. And yet man must be capable of a
true progress. The race must yet realize it
The theories already mentioned £Ol because
they compass in their grasp no greater por
tion of our being than is measured on the di
al. They do not comprehend the instincts
which presage onr immortality or calculate a
destiny which is to be eternal.
The future is the real life, and true pro
gress is the fitting preparation for that life
realized in each individual bv the attainment
of a Godlike character. This is not to be ob
tained by the spirit of what is in us merely
We are to make the most of what wc have, and
God superadds a powerof faith, enabling us to
step out on to experiences beyond mere hu
man reach This passing beyond the ascer
tained and known facts of ordinary life distin
guishes heroes from common men.
Tims the Italian stepped out beyond the as
certained limits of science, and sweeping
Heaven with his glass discovered phenomena
explicable only on the theory of the world’s
rotation. Men mocked, the Church anathe
matized, the State but though
suffering wrung denial from the lips the out
ward step laid satisfied the heart, audhe knew
that the world moved.
So, too, the Spaniard passed from prophesy
to histoiy, and stepped from a known to an
unknown continent. With a feith that never
filtered, after weary years of discouragement,
he set sail for the point where the sun went
down. He steadily pursued his way until he
had passed beyond the limit of the path of his
boldest associate, and readied not the goal
till he had taken the one step more, whick is
the ultimate test of faith and the proof of
genius, if not of inspiration.
The grandeur of the step of Progress may
sometimes bemeasured by the anathemas men
heap upon the destined hero. The Italian and
the Spaniard already mentioned shared a com
mon fate. We may not say the world was not
worthy; but that it was not ready, is seen
in the prison of Galileo and the chains of Co
lumbus.
! Tlb the old story; ever the Wind-world
Knows not its angels of deliverance.
To Those who walkbesidethem, great men seem
.Mere common earth, but distance makes them
stars.
Ab dyinglimbs do lengthen out in death
So grows the stature of their alter frame.-
1“ till: ordinary pliascs of life, each sonl that
passes the limit betoveen knowledge andfaith,
takes the tome step of Progress. Cbrislianity,
hj revealing Heaven as the possible futurefor
all life, is stamped with the ministiy of desti
ny and the results of its growth and exten
siou, producing change, achieving prosperity,
stimulating education and constituting devo
tion. all prove it to be the only true scheme
of Progress.
The lecture opened in a playful spirit which
toned down as the lecturer proceeded in his
treatment, until rcachingthe discussion of tlic
theoiyof dcvelopement, which was handled
in a scholarly :iml scientific analysis of facts.
Prom this point the religious sentiment was
prominent.
The astronomical allusion to the advancing
worlds tending to a common centre was gor
geously given, and applied with" force and
beauty to the soul of man as ever tending to
wards God. The struggles and triumphs of
the progressing soul were vividly portrayed,
and the closing summurv, in which it was
shown that Christianity' effected all the re
sults claimed as proofs of progress, while it
alone gave the interpretation and inspiration
necessary, was full of enthusiastic eucrgyaud
truth.
MEETING OF THE MARINE ARTILLERY
COMMITTEE.
Eeport of Hon, E. M. Haines
The Committee appointed to take proper
action for the release of those who were be
guiled into enlisting in the so-called Marine
Artillery, met at the Home Mutual Insurance
Office, yesterday afternoon. The meeting
was well attended, a number of ladies also be
ing present, who have sons or brothers in that
regiment
Hon E. M. Haines made a verbal report of
Ibc performance of the charge given him by
the Committee. Gov. Yates approved of tbe
plan be bad adopted, and appointed him State
Agent, In this matter. He met with discour
aging replies from the high military officers,
as well as by Congressmen, (with two or three
exceptions.) He urged the matter, and stated
to the proper officers, these facts in the case
—that he made the demand, not as an individ
ual, but as a representative of the
sovereign State of Illinois, than which
no State had done more to up
hold the hands of the Administration
by fumishingfuUy 12,000 more than her quota
of men for the vigorous prosecution of the
war. He had been put off; and referred by
one officer to some other one, and was as
sured the request could not be complied with
for several days, perhaps weeks. He told the
officers of the Department, and of the Army
that he had come to have the boys mustered
out, and had Gov. Yates’ request to that end
and he would stay with them till it was done •
and that if the Government didn't take some
action at an early day that the State of Illinois
would. After going through a routine exam
ination by the red tape officers, the matter
was approved by Adjutant General Vincent,
and referred to Gen. Halleck, by whom in
structions were issued Foster to have
the men mustered out without delay; ifhow
eyer they were in the free of the enemy, that
the mustering out be postponed until their
places could be filled, so that their withdraw
ofourann°t faazard 6afct J of any portion
The request made was only on the part of
.ourlHmois boys; yet, when the matter as
shown up by the committee and Mr. Haines
was properly understood, it was pronounced
a vile fraud, and aft the members of tbe “Ma
rine Artillery” were ordered to be mustered
out, without respect to the place of residence
or enlistment. The Government did not rec
ognize auy such deception. Mr. H. also
stated that Gov. Yates had been notified that
his request m tins matter had been complied
with, and transportation furnished the boys
from the place of mustering out to tbe place
of enhstment. Mr. Van Epps was commis
sioned by the Governor to attend to the “mns-
Ac., and left Washington on the
Xi t aU k tocom-
tA’?'^2 nß r Tot !v f ™s tendered
to Mr. aims for the able and laiihfnl man
Statements were made by several gentle
men who had received letters from their sons,
fhe charges made by the boys through the
Tkibukb resulted inn court of inquiry being
held, and the hoys were separated, some sent
to one point, some to another. One company
was doubtless in the late battle at Kingston.
Most of our boys were at hist accounts at
Jscwhem. It was stated that some time may
he required to get the “Marine Artillery” to
gether, hence the friends here ncednot expect
them home for a week or two, perhaps.
The question was asked why the Executive

the north end of Kush street bridge, and, is

Some one, who was not a member of the
Committee, and had no business there, in
truded himself to defend Hyslop, but makea
veiy lame defense, of course. Several who
have friends hi Hyslop’e department asked
him a few pertinent questions, which wound
him up completely, and he was subsequently
declared out of order. It was stated upon
good authority that Hyslop has eniiefori
transported several recruits to Ms “Marine
Artillery” within the past few days.
On motion, the Committee adjourned.

more particularly for youth of both sexes

fifth dax.
The crowd assembled at the opening of the
Conrt yesterday morning, was, if anything,
greater than on any preceding day, and as the
trial of the unfortunate man progresses, the
interest- docs not seem to abate, but rather in
crease. It will he noticed that the evi
dence of the medical experts so far ex
amined, indicates positively that the prisoner
is insane. Dr. Allen testified on Monday that
the insanity was of a style that could not he
counterfeited, and gave, at that time, and
again yesterday, his reasonsfor snchhelief. In
the afternoon session yesterday, there were
several physicians called to the' stand, all of
whom, while varying somewhat in the details
of their evidence, coincided as to the question
of insanity.
DB. 3. ADAMS ALECK'S TESTIMONY RESUMED,
Dr. Allen continued his examination in
chief, as follows;
The conduct ot a raring mailman varies: it ren
e iO!y mamteeta violence towards all about them:
others can be controlled by some persons: others

Vrtm-£scaminea~Fint bad notice of this case
four weeks ago; was requested to go by Mr.Dex
*P r: . spoke to me in the morning andl went into
the jail inthe afternoon; he wished to ascertain
hir- condition of mind; he told me it was the
Dnpp, who had murdered his wife: Iknew nothin"-
of Bopp’s brother until after I had seen
about ten days; the first time I went in, both the
Smoner’s counsel went in; I was introduced as
T. Allen: Hopp manifested no knowledge of mv

In case of hereditary insanity different types of
the disease may occur in the same family: one type
may appear in the father, another in the son, and
another stLl in a grandson; a disease may appear
in one form in theparent and another in the chud
not an opposite form; I designated the disease of
the prisoner as an emotional centre of the brain
inducing such a condition ofthe brainas to control
the whole will, choice and action; I think at times
the whole mind of the prisoner iss affected* in
sanity is not a disease ofthe mind, but of the ma
terial structure through which the mind acts •
there have been cases of insanity where a post
mortem examination failed to reveal any di
sease of the structure of the brain; the pris
oner's pulse was very rapid at each time I saw
him: this, in itself is not evidence of insanity, hnt
only in connection with other evidences.
. t£.—What kind of insanity do you consider the
pnsoneralflcted with i
A.—l think the defendant is affleted witha local
disease of the brain, producing disturbance imme
diately of the emotional action or manifestation
of imnd; a loose designation would he mono
mania; on inquiry in regard to his health he pro
cecaeato give an account of a fit of sickness forty
or fifty years ago, before he came to this country.
Q.—State whether, in your judgment, the pris
oner, from the investigation you made of him, did
not have any appreciation that he was liable to the
pcnaliyof murder?
A.—No. not at all; from the firm conviction he
had, and the repeated assurances he made that all
he had to do was to state his case to the court and
jury and they would acquit him at once.
, Q- —Did he seem to be aware he was going to
haveatnahorwhatit was for? *
_ A.—Tcb, but supposed he wouldbe acquitted. If
he had slated m the same earnest mannner his re
grets for what he had done, I should not then have
said hebad no appreciation of what he had done;
the prisoner's disease would, in my opinion, con
trol the will of the prisoner on these subjects.
Q- —Would not the fact that the defendant, while
scolding and raging at his wife, and while acting
underthe influence of the subject you have men
tioned. would, upon the entrance of a neighbor
whom he respected, immediately cease, aud be
come docile, calm and courteous, indicate that he
possessed the power to control his will and acts,
end to judge between right and wrong ?
A.—No..
Q-—Were you present at the examination of
Ralph Hopp?
A—No: 1 knew nothing of him until eight orten
days ago; the effect of mental aberration on the
memory is various—sometimes increased, some
times weakened—if it is ordinarily interfered with
its accuracy Is generally lessened.
Q—lf it had been shown that this defendant came
to this conntry poor, and by his energy and skill
had always conducted his business and acquired
wealth up to the time of the commission of this
act, would it shake your belief in his insanity 5
A—No: it would indicate that he was affected to
a limited extent, as far as h!s faculties were con
cerned. When I examined theprisoner in the jail
other physicians were present, also the prisoner's
counsel; have never consulted with those physi
cians since that time; the prisoner appeared to be
a man of considerable self-esteem, or very tenac
ious of bis reputation; in late examinations of the
brain the recent perfection of instruments enables
ns to detect symptoms of disease which formerly
would have escaped our notice.
At half-past eleven, on account of the ab
sence of witnesses, the Court adjourned to
half-past one.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Promptly at the hour the Court opened,
and the testimony of medical experts was
proceeded with. *
3>B. UEXUr WING'S TESTDIOirr.
In my first examination or the prisoner rav at
tention was chiefly directed to his pulse. I noted
it half a dozen times during a period of one and a
half hours. In order to learn its absolute character
under different mental emotions. During no two
successive quarters of a minute would it he
alike.
My physical examination was confined to his
pulse. I found it very difficult to get ids conversa
tion to flow in those channels I most desired, in
order to perfect my examination. I found the
skin to have an unnatural moisture about it, differ
ent from a healthy state. It appeared,! may say
cadaverous. It is my opinion that the pulse indi
cated a material lecsiou, or acute disease in some
part of h!s system. I examined his lungs, abdo
men and heart. There was no indication in the
lungs of disease; the.abdomen was large but evi
dently healthy;;the Ijeart was feeble; thought its
muscular fetcuCturd tptbe weak. Of his respira
tions I roadeu-cafrefptfteamlßfction. hi their rela
tion tomulsatfon.-..j*bhnd there was from fonr"to'
fouranftahSTxKFpir«tioiis to one pulsation. I
thought this indicated a disease of some vital or
gan. I noticed the odor-:Of the skin; this is of
uroat importance in forinib& a correct diagnosis.
In diseases of the brain itfs usually very noticea
ble. I judged that in the ofec of the prisoner there
was a disease of thebrain. My conclusion was en
tirely satisfactory to me: I have no doubt about
that conclusion.
I saw him traverse the hall of the jail ata time
when I did not think he was aware
any one noticed him. To me, he seemed
by his manner to have an elevated sense of recti
tude.
In the course of a conversation with Hopp. he
ioldme that his father had heeu converted under
the ministrations of Wesley. and spoke of a biblc
that ‘Wesley had given his father. He seemed to
take great pride in speaking of the high character
of his parents, and said thatas long as they lived
he had always been an oTjStRSnt sou.
[As the witness made this statement, the
pnsoucr, forthc first time during the progress
of the trial, leaned over toward his counsel,
and held a brief consultation with him.]
The erratic character of Ids conversation was so
marked tlmt it was difficult to obtain auy sort of
connected statement from him. His breakingsand
rumblings were constant. He usually spoke quite
rapidly. He told me that with the exception of
some nervous spells he had cujoyed general good
health. He said that he liad never had any trouble
with his wife until the difficulty about the horse.
On one occasion be stated very positively that she
had acknowledged her guilt, and that was when he
found her cryiug
When he asked the cause of her crying, she had
replied that if it had not been for JFilkins, there
never would have been any trouble, and that he
considered it was an acknowledgment of her crim
inality. He did not know, he said, what means they
liad used to estrange his wife from him, but he sup
posed the same as such men always used. He said
that his wife at some time or other had confessed
that his interpretation of the meaning of the toast
at the tavern was the right one. I thought from
what! saw of him that he had been a man of kind
ly feelings. Bethought he had done right andsaid
if he was Irang for it, that he should still think so
lie said tliat he had no feeling about having killed
his wife, and did not know as he had any need to
have any. After all these conversations with the
prisoner, Depp, and examination. 1 came to the
conclusion that he was insane. Xhavc no doubt of
his insanity.
I take it to be a case of slowly developed heredi
tary insanity: it is a peculiar type of insanity.
Having heard the most of the evidence in till-*
case, and assuming it to be true in fact, it has
neither strengthened nor diminished my opinion
except in regard to the evidence of the brother's
insanity, My conclusion is that a man of his
Knowledge could not similate or counterfeit this
form of insanity. Hi all my interviews he has an
peared honest. 1 think that persons not acquaint
ed with the various forms of insanity would not
be able to detect it in this case. It is of so pecu
baratype, that persons, unless well acquainted
w;th such cases, would not regard it as insanity.

- The first time I went to the
jail. Mr. McComas, Mr. Dexter, ami Dr. N S
Davis -were with me. I went at the suggestion of
Mr. Dexter.
Ton ask if hie confinement in jail for four months
wowla produce, in my opinion, a derangement
such as this case presents. Ton may be able to
prove that by some one else; yon cannot by me • I
cannot see the connection where fonr months' con
finement would produce such changes as I have
specified. A serious derangement of the liver
might produce some of these symptoms; it might
contribute to aggravate some of the symptoms;
his confinement and diet mightproduce very great
physical change. At the time Frisked him first I
was not aware of his having a brother who was
insane. I regard the feet of his brother's insanity
as an important fact in forming my opinion of the
prisoner's condition. I made up my mind at the
time ofmy first visit, and before 1 heard anything
in regard to his brother. I cannot locate precisely
the exact portion or section of the brain diseased.
I think that at the time of the killing of his wife
he was aware, physically, of what he was doing;
but do not think he was capable of appreciating
the civil results of such an act I presume he had
an opinion, but not a correct one. So fer as the
act or deed of taking his wife's life was concerned,
I think he was capable of forming a correct judge
ment.
I alluded in one of my conversations with him.
to lus probable execution, his wife's death. &c.,
and at the time had my finger on his pulse. lam
sure that no sane .man could have preserved the
stolid equanimity which the prisoner then dis
played.
I have a definite opinion formed from the exhi
bitions physical mid mental, and the statements I
had from the prisoner.
Prom physical symptoms, it is easy to detect
disease of the brain, but not ti mental aberration.
To the Court —There is such a thing as an irre
sistable impulse to do a thine which the person
knows to be wrong. Hemay feel impelled to kiUhis
friend and not be able himself to resist the im
pulse.
BE. X. S. DAVIS' TSSTIMONT.
Have resided in Chicago thirteen years. lam a
practitioner of medicine, and a regular graduate
lama Professor in the Lind University and also
editor of the Chicago Medicai Examiner. I never
eaw-orkucw Hcpp before meeting him in the jail;
I-examined him at the request of Mr. McComae;
he and Dr. Wing were present at the time; in my
examinational looked closely to his previous
health and condition, and as critically as I could I
examined his physical condition. From his state
ments to me it appeared he had not enjoyed very
good health for several years; complained that he
had been affected with dizziness of the head and
palpitation of the heart. The action of the kid
neys was represented as having been dis
turbed; he, however, said that tus health for
a week previous to my visit had been
improving; his skin was rather dry, pulse weak,
bnt decidedly more active than natural; think it
rangedbetween 90 and 100, lungs appeared good,
action of the heart weak and quick, hut its sounds
natural; Uunk the temperature of the head was a
little higher than the rest of the body; h!s manner
was a little quick and excitcable as thoughmovmg
from «>rae nervous excitement; In lus talking!
noticed the same nervousness; it was rapid; his
ideas and subjects were wavering, and on all top
ics it was the same: he mentioned to me the jeal
ousy which he bad felt toward hia wife, and as
signed as a cause something which grew out of a
trouble with his neighbors about a horse*
m answer to a question of mine as to whether

Infidelity, he said she had acknowledged it;
I examined his countenance carefully, his
mode of talk, his motions and his laurii; Ms
manner of talk and actions impressed me with the
flict that he had a decided mental impairment l ; his
langh was of the idiotic sort; I formed the opinion
that his mind was decidedly impaired, owing to a
want of nutrition to the brain and heart: I should
suppose that ho suffered- from tv«, for a
term of ypara; I had no conversation
with any other physician on that subject

his physical conduct. I noticed his poise. The
most pulse of a man of flfty-eight is seventy. If a
pulse vanes from 108 to 120 and there be no evi
dence of bodily disease, I should think there was a
disease of the brain or nervous system. Insanity
is strongly liable to transmission. The prisoners
conversation was rambling. He talked freely on
most and particularly so of his wife, and
seemed anxious to justify his coarse toward his
tnfe. There seemed to he but little connection in
his conversation. He spoke of the horse difficulty
and appeared to deduce from that an attempt to
seduce Ids wife, by way of revengcon him. Insan
ity in immediate blood relations would, with other
facts, confirm my belief.
My opinion from my examinations and from
wbat I have heard is that he is insane: I have no
doubt of it.

Meeting of the Board of Education,

meat of Teachers.
A meeting of the Board of Education was
held, yesterday, at their rooms. Present—
Messrs. Haven, Carpenter, Steele, Wentworth,
Ryder, Taft, Foster, Wicker, Ward, Newber
ry, and Sheahan.
EVENING SCHOOLS.
The Special Committee on Evening Schools
reported as follows;
To the Board, of Education of the City of Chi
cago :
The committee to whom was referred the ques
tion of establishing evening or unclassified
schools, beg leave to report:
1. That they deem it inexpedient at the present
time to attempt the establishment of unclassified
schools as a part of our school system.
2. That in their opinion the interests of a large
class of persons who are unable to attend the pn
vatc day schools, render it important that some
provision ehouldbe made for them at evening
schools.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that the
Board try the experiment of establishing two
evening schools, one for males and one for females.
The Committee recommend that these schools
be held at the Dearborn School building; the
school for the males on Monday, Wednesday and
bndoy evenings, and the school for females on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings.*
The Committee estimate the expense for the
present winter at $450, feeling quite certain it will
not exceed SSOO. This estimate in on a basis of
Uyelve weeks. L. B. Taft,

Mr. Wentworth moved the adoption of the
report. Carried.
Mr. Taft said some system would have to he
adopted to cany out the object of the report
and that State necessary to appoint a commit
tee 'withniffer to act.
Mh.-TOBJSrth moved the whole matter be

sident and Superintendent, with power to act.
Carried.
ADMISSION TO TUB NOEHAL DEPARTMENT.
Mr. 'Wentworth moved that by approval of
Mr. Howland, Miss Adele Butler be re-admit
ted to a scat In the Kormal Department of the
High School. Carried.
REPAIRS.
Mr. Ward of Committee on Buildings and
Grounds, reported that they had added 156
feet of pipe at the Brown School, amounting
to $51.16. • To remedy the matter of heating
at the High School, two old furnaces from the
Moseley fcchool were removee to the High
School and fitted up, the cost of fitting up
being sls. The Committee had also thought
it beat to wrap the supply and return pipes in
the Moseley and Haven Schools with felting
to protect them from the cold. It could he
done for the sum of sll7.
Upon motion, the bills were ordered au
dited.
Mr. "Ward moved that the Building Com
mittee be authorized to put up a furnace in
the west tier of rooms in Hie High School.
Laid over.
CONDITION’ OF BITLDINGa.
Mr. Ryder made a scries of complaints re
specting the out-bouscs of the Jones, Haven,
and Moseley schools, stating that they were
in a wretched condition and needed immedi
ate repairs. He thought the Chairman of the
Building Committee had too much to do.
Mr. Taft took the same view of the case.
He said the supervision of repairs was too
much for one man, and he made a motion that
the Building Committee and Superintendent
have power to appoint a Special Agent to look
after repairs.
After a long and desultory debate indulged
an by Messrs. Wentworth, Taft and WardTthe
Secretary stated that he badraade a separate
article of this matter in bis annual report,
which he thought covered the matter, aud
would he submitted at the next meeting.
TEXT BOOKS.
Mr. Steele, of the Committee on Text
Books,called the attention of the Board to two
books—Sherwood’s Writing Speller, one a
blank book arranged for writing the words
constituting a lesson, for the sake of preserva
tion ; the other consisting of a scries of words,
the orthography and pronunciation of which
were difficult, out yet words in common use.
Mr. Steele said there was need of a primary
geography in the schools. Warren’s and Cor-
were before the Board for choice.
If the Board would not leave schools
m the back • ground, something must
be done relative to geography. He felt morti
fied to see High school scholars who had
graduated and come before the Board for ex
amination, for teachers' certificates, fall helow
other scholars outside the city, in geography
Scholars cannot get from text books used In
the High School any geographicyl knowledge
above that acquired at the grammar schools
The speaker critically analyzed the plan and
contents of each work, and moved that Cor
fu’s Primary Geography he adopted for use
in the grammar schools.
Mr. Sheahan offered the following as a sub
stitute for Sir. Steele’s motion:
Eestired, That Warren’s Primary Geography he
adopted as one of the text hooks of the public
schools, provided that the same he famished to
pupils for sixty days atthirty ccutsper copy.
The question was taken upon Mr. Sheahan's
motion, and it prevailed, and the motion as
amended was carried.
- Mr. Steele moved that Cornell's High School
Geography be adopted iu the High School as
a test book. Losf.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
TBE MONEY MARKET.
Tcbsbat Etccxkg, Dec. S3, 1862.
The pressure upon the banks for accommoda
tions continues without abatement, and bencc,
several of our leading houses find themselves very
short of currency. They have abundant means for
every emergency, but just now their balances in
the New York banks are too large for their own
convenience. As a consequence, we note a further
decline in New York exchange. Several of the
hanks are buying at # discount and selling to cus
tomers at par. Tbe buying range for tbe day was
# discount@par selling, par®# premium. On
collections # premium is the rate.
The buying range for gold was 31@31#—usually
the lower figure. The amount offering is exceed
ingly small.
Old Treasury notes were bought at 26.

There is rather more quietness In the Dry Goods
trade: but it is usual at this season of the year
and business win continue light tillafter the holi
days. In prices there is no-material change. In
fomekindeof goods there is a slight falling off in.
Eastern markets, but etaplcsare firm.
By a comparison of the prices given below with
those of New York. Boston and Philadelphia, it
will be seen that Chicago dealers are determined
to let but little trade go past them. We quote:

[From the NowTorfc Economist, 22d.l
Brown Sheetings and Shirtings.—All kinds of
sheetings and shirtings are very quiet at present.
The wants of thp jobbing trade are Ijght, and for
future wants buyers are not disposed to buy in ad
vance until their future trade is nearer at hand
The production Vs lighter on this class of "oods
than on-some -other descriptions: and most of
those making are low priced light weight goods,
which are more likely to be wanted than goods of
heavier weight and higher price. Of heasy sheet
ings there arc still considerable quantities of old
stocks on the market, hut no large depressing
amounts. Outside lots of goods are in some ii£
stances offered at a concession, hnt as a general
thing epecnlatorshavc a good deal of confidence
in regard to fntnre valnes. and it is not fully appa
rent now large a quantity of goods is in second
hands.
.45&16
Bleached Sheetings and Shertingb.—The in
quiry is very light at present, even for low priced
goods, aim who are running are
slowly accumulating stock for next season's trade.
Market values are very strongly maintained, and
manuiacturers write to their agents stating in the
most positive manner that they will not concede
prices- hot rather stop prodneing if buyers are not
disposed to meet their views when spring trade
opens. The amount making Is so light that manu
lacturers have no fear of the supply being
enough to depresspriccs. Old stocks are so closely
sold out on low priced goods that new made goods
will constitute the bulk ot the spring supply. The
cost of producing these is so great that holders are
more disposed to be firm with these than they
would be on old goods which were made when
cotton was lower. Both classes ate very firm
however.
Drills—The demand for drills is as light as it
has been, which Indeed amounts to almost nothing.
Lots are on the market, both with first and second
hands, bat arc seldom inquired for. The necessa
rily high prices make them too dear for.some uses
to which they used to be applied.
Cotton Flannels.— The wants of the market
have been supplied by the sale of 32T cases at auc
tion on Wednesday last, particulars of which will
he found in our report of the dry goods auction
sales, in another column. The prices obtained
were about 15 per cent, below the asking prices of
regular agents.
Stripes. Ticks and Dentes.—There is now lit
tle demand for any grades of goods, and prices
have experienced no change since the commence
ment of the month.
Ptonting Cloths. —The few lots that arc pressed
for sale by weak holders realize lower prices. The
presentis a season of preparation than of activity
with theprinters. and they are buyingllttle. ‘Lots
that are sold are generally taken by speculators,
who expect to realize an advance after the begin
ning of the new year. The balk of the stocks on
hand are held for 14X@15c, and will likely obtain
this when thepropertime comes for a demand.
Pbentikg Cloths.—' The Providence Journal of
Monday says: Market dull andlower. The follow
ing are the sales for the week:
14.000 pieces 64x64.14c, cash.
-B.UCO “ 60x64,13Xc, cash.
38.000 “ 64x64, 13J£c, cash.
5.000 w 60x64, cash.
10.000 “ 61x64.13#c, cash. Ist quality.
56,000 pieces.
Feints.— The market continues firm and quiet.
Even at a concession, bnt little more business
could be done, but there is no disposition to yield
prices. The few sales of printing cloths at lower
prices are of little consequence. -
Duck.— The Portland Price Current says: “We
now quote Portland No.- 3,90 c; No. 10,66 c: and
Navy Superior, No. 8. 89c; 1 and No. 10,55 c r and
Ravens, 45c; V. S. 10 ox. Tent. 56c* and 12oz, 66c.
[From the Philadelphia North. American. 20th.]
The dry goods trade has been very inactive this
-week; business with both the commission andjob
houses is gradually falling foiling oft, and now
pretty much over for the season; there is a good
feeling, however among the dealers in regam to
the spring trade, the country generally being bare
of goods. All staple cotton fabrics are well held
ana firm, with reduced stocks on hand. There has
been somewhat of a speculative movement in
cottonades. which arc now held for higher prices.
Prints wede in light stock aud very firm. In wool
ens there has been a firm business doing, mostly
to supply [the Western clothiers, and low priced
goods especially continue scarce and on the ad
vance. ' '
Boston Flour market*
The Is no material change to note in themarket
as far as prices ore concerned. Flour continues
very dnß. dealers buying ouly for their immediate
wants. The' stock on hand Is now very much,
smaller than at the' same time last year, yet we
think there is enough to supply the demand, - unless
it should be considerably greater than it has been
during the last few weeks.
