QUALIFIOLTIODTS OP TS4OIVORO.
The Chair presented an sot just passed by the
Legislature relative to the qualifioations of teach
ers.
The fast section enacts that the Controllers of the
Public Schools shall establish a system for the ex
amination of the qualifications of all persons who
may desire to become teachers in the public schools
of said district, the said examinations to be held, at
such times and places, and under such system,
rules, and regulations as the said Controllers shall
from time to time adopt.
Use Y. No person shalt from and after the passage of
this act be elecisd to the position of 'teacher le any of
the public schools of said district by any of the sec
tional boards of school directors within the same unless
such person shall have been found duly qualified for the
position‘to which he or she shall have been elected nor
rodeo be or she shall have received a certificate of
qualification drilyieened by the authority of said Con
trollers after his or her examination, provided for in the
drat section of this act: Provided, The-exclusive right
of the several sectional beerde of school directors with

godless shall be and remain unimpaired, except in SO

Sec. S. It shall be the duly of the several sectional
boards of school directors within said district to certify

Schools of said district the names and grade of all per
sons qualifitd as aforesaid who shall hereafter heeled
ed to the position of teacher in the said district, which
said names anti grade shall also be certified by said
Controllers to the said City Controller.
Ydr. 'Freeborn moved that as soon as the act be
signed by the Governor the president of the Board
have sett to each section a copy of the sot for their
instruction. Agreed to.
RIGIR SCHOOL.
The Committee on High School reported the list
of questions propounded to the applicants for the
vacant professorship of Chemistry and Physics at the
Central High School, and recommended that Lain
uel R. Stevens be elected, he having received the
highest average at the examination. Au election
was then gone into by the Board, and Mr. Stevens!
was unanimously elected.
The same committee further reported, that of the
students who were admitted into thelkligh School,
according to a resolution of the Board admitting a
proportional number of the best scholars of each
school -without an examination, there were nineteen
who bad attained an average of less than fifty for
the last term.
According to the original intention of the Board,
these boys ebould have been returned to the school
whence they came, but the committee recommend
that theta pupils retain their places in the High
School on probation for another term, and if they
foil to attain that average at the next term that
their names be dropped from the Mt of pupils of the
High School, and that they be returned to the school
whence they came. Dr. Nebinger was opposed
to the resolution which the committee retool
mended. It was offering a premium to
nese. The professors In toe High school did not
wish to have the resolution passed. Their retention
in the school was injurious to its discipline. There
were of these nineteen boys some who had received
during the term over 200 demerit marks. Their pre
sence in the school was an injury to the remaining
pupils.
Mr. Moore. If the gentleman who talks so much
about offering premiums to idleness had attended a
Meeting of the committee which was held a few days
ago, when these boys appeared before that commit
tee, he would not be so muoh in favor of turning
them out. They were smart boys, although they
were bad and active. Ali bad b oysi were smart.
Nearly every boy, with the exception of ono or two,
during the first two months had obtained as good
averages as the professors of the school wished to
see them obtain. The Sanitary Fair had rendered
necessary the resolution admitting these boys with
out arexaminatton ; and If, as had been said, their
presence in the school prevented the admission of
others into the school, he said that it was all right
that it should be SO t that if the grammar school
teachers had sent incompetents to the 'Nigh School,
it was not the fault of the Board. The diegracethat
would attend the expulsion of these boys in all their
after lives would be terrible. Their parents were
anxious that snob notion should not be taken, that
they tie well as their sons should be saved the dis
grace attendant upon such an motion.
On the resolution the yeas were 10, nays 12.
The resolution was not agreed to.
GIRLS' HIGH AND NORMAL SCHOOL.
The Committee on Girls , High and Normal School
reported a resolution admitting Virginia Piper and
Lirsy McDuffy into the school, who although re.
calving high averages, lacked a few days of the re.
quired age.
Mr. Moore asked what was the condition of the
school, the number admitted and the number re-
jected.
Mr. Vaughan answered that there were 128 ap
plioants, of whom 72 were admitted. There were
about 76 scholars in section F, which was as large a
number as could well be aocomodated.
On the resolution the yeas were 11, nays 11 ; and
the resolution fell. These scholars want but ten
days and five days of the required age. That the
Board should be so rigid In the enforcement of the
law in regard to age on this occasion, which oh
former occasions has been winked at, is surprising.
Adjourned.

BEANCH----ANNUAL BkPORT
The general superintendent of the Philadelphia
branch of the United States Sanitary Commission
has made his annual report to the Executive Com
mittee. From it we glean the following: The ex
ecutive committee of the women's Pennsylvania
branch, having charge of the supply department,
has during the year_ retained nearly its original or
ganization. The supply department numbers three
hundred and Illty auxiliary societies, besides a eon
tiderable number of Individual contributors, who
send boxes with almost the frequency observ ed by
active societies. During the year 2,128 boxes and
packages, valued at about sllo,oeo. have been re
ceived at the rooms • 875 boxes have been despatched
to various points where they wore needed, besides
an enormous aggregate of issues for the relief of in
dividual soldiers applying at the rooms of the Com
mission. Large supplies have also been sent to the
various hospitals in this military department.
At the time the Great Central Fair was held It
was feared that the extraordinary efforts then being
made by our societies would so exhaust their re
sources that but little could be expected from them
for a long Mae. The result has not Justified this
apprehension ; for while there was but a temporary
falling off of the receipts, the wide-spread Interest
excited by the Fair in the wink of the Sanitary
Commission hae •etimulated the efforts of many
who before had done little or nothing for its support.
EffiLIZIP DNPABII'AIST4T
During the year met passed, relief of various
kinds has been afforded to more than six hundred
families of soldiers by the committee.
Steady employment Is given weekly to two hun
dred and eighty women. The remuneration for this
work (though not in any case sufficient for the sup
port of a family) is ample, and more than twice as
much as Is paid for the same amount ot work by the
Government.
The committee have had made for the Sanitary
Commission between eight and nine thousand gar
ments ; they have besides taken work from contrac
tors, for which they receive one-half the amount
paid to their workmen. 16,051 garments have been
made in this way, and the workls largely sought by
soldiers , wives and widows.
During the year 1864 1111,950 have been received
from various comes by the committee. Half a ton
or coal was giVI3II to each of a number of families
last year, which gave mush comfort.
HOSPITAL DIRBOTORY
The Hospital Directory has continued its work and
extended Its sphere. It has relieved the minds of
many a family. Numerous letters have been , re
ceived during the year expressing the utmost satis
faction at the answers furnished. In some oases the
committee nave succeeded in aseertaining that men
were alive, and in rebel hands, whose families had
given them up for lost months before.
When lt Is considered that this work is done at a
ocst of only one dollar and fifty-live cents for each
successful answer, it will be readily admitted that
nothing which the Commission hes undertaken has
been more satisfactory in its results. It will be ob.
served from the report given below that in seventy
seven out of every hundred inquiries we have been
enabled to obtain information. As very many never
apply at our rooms until they have failed in every
effort of their own, it is thought that the proportion
of answers given is fully as large as could be ex
pected.
It is estimated that not less than 600 persons

during the year have sought and recelLd Informs.

lished, they came so entirely within the relief de
pipped to be afforded that they could not be rejected
without manifest inconsistency.
Since the agency was organized, in May, 1863,
4,865 cliff= have been received for collection. Of
these, there have been settled 781 claims for pension,
694 claims for bounty and back-pay, amounting in
value to 972,067.60 ; 182 claims for pay applied for
by the families of prisoners-of-war, amounting to
4191,868.64 ; and 62 claims for prize money, amount
ing to *1,992 26. The total amount thus collected
in cash, and paid to claimants, or held subject to
their order, is $05,423.40. To this must be added the
sums paid to this date upon the certificates of pen
sion, which, at the lowest estimate, cannot be less
than $41,712, showing a total sum realized for ap
plicants of at least $127,136.40, without the expense
of one dollar to the claimantr:
It will be noticed that the very large number of
8,252 claims belongs to the year 1864, a rate of in
mouse over that of the previous year of 98 per cent.
Objection has been taken to the work of this
branch of the Commission that It is not strictly
charitable, because it makes no distinction in the
circumstances of claimants. Such a discrimination,
however, even if it were practicable, could not fail to
result in embarrassment. A careful observation of
the oases presented during the year shows the
practical zuseleeemess of the policy by disclosing the
met that of the whole number of claimants the clr
cuMataneeB of at least three-fourths are but a step
removed from actual poverty.
It would be easy, perhaps, to add a feature of in
terest to this report by tilting examples Of the opera
.
Lion of this branch of the CommiMon In individual
eases. These comprise frequently the most afflict
ing exhibitions of utter poverty and hopelessness.
In repeated instances a home Au been kept to the
families of soldiers by , the trifling loans which have
been advanced upon claims in course of settlement.
During the present month a certificate of pension
in favor of a soldier discharged for oorusumption con
tracted in the service was received upon the day of
his death. His wife sailed to Bay that she had no
means with which to defray the expenses of his
burial. Fortunately, the arrears upon the pension
proved to breonelderable, and were promptly paid
by the Government pension agent.
But It Is believed that the character of the work,
as one of benevolence, is sufficiently indicated In
the tables accompanying this report. The large
I and rapid growth, which, with little aid from the
public press, the work has attained, shows the esti
mation in which It le held, and the ease with 'which
It may be ptlll ftirtte; OalargoB, Probably in no

THE 0011BLEDA7 COURT MARTIAL.
The court martial of which Major General Abner

Judge Advocate Foster called the roll and all the
members answered to their names.
The trial of William B. N. Cozens charged with
fraud in furniehhig tents to the United States Go.
comment, was resumed.
The record was read and a recess taken for the
purpose of awaiting the attendance of witnesses.
Upon the reassembling of the court the examination
of witnesses was proceeded with.
Thomas Cremly sworn. —l t am receiver of tents at the
Schuylkill Arsenal; have been there three years; Seve
ral hundred thousand tents and wagon covers have been

peal end Samuel Wood had charge of the specimens;
itlibrOsot li.ft7 or sixty thousand teute Wefts received
from Cozens; think there are some of them there now;
during 1668 Thomas -Timmins was inspector of tents,
and was succeeded by Mr. Neal, who remained until a
short time ago
Cross-examined.—Went to the Arsenal, when Colonel
Thomas wee there, as a laborer, and from that was ap
pointed tent inspectors snore persons besides
rens furnished tents-and N 1 ,41011 corers; Slade, Smith,

Dee, and, I think, Sibley tents also; Mr. Wm. Bean
furnished tents; also, II B McComb. fir. Dunham, B.
Mantel, Mr. Odenhalmer. Charles Itoberts, Palmer &
Hutchinson, T. J. Vannick; cannot say whether the
amount furnished by these parties exceeded those fur
nished by Mr. Cozens; the duplicates at the . Arsenal
will show the data and from whom the tents were re
ceived; the tents were kept in a shed fifty or sixty fest
long, enclosed all around ; they were not put in there
until after iipection, and are never left out In the
weather; the shed is very dry; no rain ever got in it; I
suppose there was damp air in it in bad weather t never
saw any tents taken out-that were damp or mildewel;
tents are sometimes placed in two different sheds bc
aide, the one spoken or; there was no glees in the win
dows, but slides to them; there Is an outside shed to
the main one, which is covered with canvass. bat no
weather can get in it; sometimes tents lie a week or
two before they are inspected: think some of them
have laid a month before ihapection; I had to Ind
places to put the tests in before inspeetton, and some.
times found it difficult, but always found a dry place for
them: Mr. Zeal had three or four ataistants at inspect
ing abetter tents, also two at hospital tents; Lawrence
Barry, Mr. Beach. taamuel Wilson, and Michael Nolan
acted under Mr. Neal and are atilt there; Neal and Wood
are not at the Arsenal now; the tents are measured on
tables, which have the afro of a tent upon it; Mr. Neal
superintended the measuring when there, and, if not.
Mr. Wood, his assistant; there us no cellar under the
sheds; the floors are a foot or eighteen Inches from the
ground; aglitter was dog under one of the sheds to let
the water run; some of lir. Cozens' tents laid at the Ar •
sex al a couple of weeks before inspection.
Have you ever known Mr. Cozens to say if hie tents
were wrens to send them back to him ?
Objected to by the Judge Advocate -butt the objection
and reply of the witness were made simultaneously,
end the objection was withdrawn.
Witness resumed. —Tee, I have heard him say so to
Mr. b eat, in the pretence of Mr. ,Wood.

'Frederick Carlisle sworn. —I live in New YOrk, and
am inspector; I was present at the inspection of some
tents at the tichuyikill Arsenal. In September, 1864; I
timpectird W. N. B. Cozens', H. S. McComb'e, and her.
Phlison's tents; a number of persons were present
when the tents were examined.
Mr. Dougherty inquired of the Judge Advoeate to
what specification the evidence of the witness would
tend
lodge Advocate Foster replied that the testimony of
the witness would bear upon the whole of then* He.
would describe the condition of articles Inspected by
him. and anoiher witness would designate as to whose
contract they belonged.
Messrs Daugherty and Brewster strongly urged that
this was secondary evidence, and shown not be pro.
duced. Better to adjourn for a month thin break down
the laws of evidence.
The Judge Advocate argued that every jadiclal tel.
banal was competent to decide as to how evidence
should be admitted. If be should tall in connecting the
evidence of this witness with that of others, it would
fall, and of coarse not DTBiadtee the accused.
-Mr Brewster again urged that the testimony was
inevedant and secondary, and cited from works on
military law to sustain his objection. It had been said'
by a teemed jurist that no man knew when he might
taste of the waters of puttee, and it behooved us all nut
to pollute them.
The president ordered the court to be cleared, when a
member asked to put a q mutton to the witness
the rineldent nelented, wbersupon the member ask
•
ed'the w taws' if any of Hie Win ixamined be him
were marked with ):be name of Nr. Cozens.
Mr. Brewster now read from a deeliston in the Blue
Book, as he terms it, to , allow that Judge Advocate (re--
serail Belt had determined that a telegraph despatch
Wight really prnee in evidence, but some proof to ahow
fit had been signed by the person whose name
'wag adiced to it should be had. He, referred to this
with a view of showine that the government bad sot
yet proven the Mime tune of the contraota alleged to
have been made b the accused. and yet offered MOW
(buy evidence at this siege.
The coot being cleared the doors were now opened,
and the Judge Advontaannonheed' the decision of the
court overruling the (Medina.

ANOTHER BFECMNIEN OF THE CONFIDENCE
GAME.
The following narrative of the efforts of a sharper to
swindle some of our business men will serve to pat the
Public on gnat d against any similar attempt: A young
man, handsomely dressed and sporting a cane and
moustache, arrived here, representing himself as the
agent of a business firm at Wheeling, Virginia.. The
pretended agent wanted to purchase a large amount of
goods for the firm, and after selecting his intended vic
tims, be boughtgoods from them to the amount of
several thousand dollars. He bought tdbaecoo wraps,
batter, dry maids, dm, apparently not oaring 41,11 Y at
tention to the fact that great business men now-a-day s
do not` keep every conceivable commodity in a sin gl e
warehouse. This fad alone world have led to his e
lection, but unfortunately Rio different firms did not
inquire much about the character of their worthy ens
tomer, and the game vast not discovered. /avian
bought the goods, which it would be useless to add he
did not pay for, be made arrautteMeuts to have them
shipped to Wheeling, and left this city.
Immediately after the sharper bad taken his doper
true one of our wholesale grocers shipped a large quart
tity of molasses to the firm. Another drm, from
whom the pretended agent had bought butter and other
&Melee to a /arm, amount, were not so quick Militating
thtir contract, nut on receiving a telegram from their
late customer, requestieg them to send the goods to their
'place of destination as delay would be ruinous, they,
being in good faith, immediately complied with the re
quest. The tobacconist, on the other nand, whether tt
was that he ' smelt a rat' ' or was unwilling to risk his
goods before receiving .anything for them, gave the
agent to understand that he would not supply the firm
or "any other man" with tobacco unless he got the
hard cash in return. The agent did not persist inhis de •
meads, and manifested a desire to watt. Other parties,
who In like manner were lmpoeed upon, either bad the
goods shipped or were busily engaged making the ne
cessary preparations for doing so.
Fortunately. however, some one got a clue to the real
state of affairs, and the roods, which were drat sent to
Wheeling. were stopoed at Bridgewater. and thou after
returned to the rightful owners. The butter and other
articles did not arrive st their place of destination, bat
were sent back as soon as it was discovered bow mat
ters stood, and arrangements were made to have the
agent arrested, but on searching for that worthy he was
nowhere to be found. While inquiring for his name
we became possessed of suffloient circanntantial evi
dence to convince us that the young man was by no
