Detective Officer Joshua Tacsrart, sworn First saw the prisoner at the Cermantown Station Jloutc; was at the interview described by Mr. Franklin; I went Into another room with tli3 prisoner, to cet hiin away from the. crowd, to talk to him alone: 1 said to him, "Chris.. I want to huvc a talk With jou ulxtit this money: the state ment jou have made in reference to this money is unfortunate for you, for I am satisfied it is not true; I am sa'isfied you have committed some crime to pet it, and while we are wastiner time in looking alter this matter the real culprit who committed this murder may escape, and if that is the case I would like to know it now; tell me the truth; if you have committed any petty crime to get this money, or larcenv, outside of thlR murder case, 1 won't use it against you;" I told him flat-looted that I did not believe his story about Harry and S'all. The prisoner's counsel here objected to the witness givmcr prisoner's answer or statement, on the ground that an inducement had been neld out to him to make it. The Commence of Thilapelpuia.

Distillers' Bonds. A special order from Commissioner Uollins has pit been received by the Collectors ol Internal Revenue, to the tol lowing etlect: The minimum penal sum in dis tillers' bonds should be double the a-nount ot duties upon the monthly production of the dis tillery. The Collector should at once examine the bond of each distiller in his district, and if the penal sura does not conform to the rule, he should require a new bond. No bond should be approved unless the sureties make oath thdt they have no interest in the disiillery. and that they are worth the amount quali ied to, above their debts. A new bond is requisite whenever there is reason to believe that the 6iiretie9 have ac quired an interest cr are unable to respond to the amount liiHtidud. When a distiller relative to whom strong suspicion is entertained, applies for license, the Collector will see that the penal sum is of ample amount and the sureties able to respond in damages.

To ihe Editor of the Fvtning teknraph ; Now that the war is ended, we can In a measure turn our attention from national to local interests. A education is that which moulds and shapes the habits and maimers, the ta.-tcg and aspirations of a people? as it underlies tbo morality, the industry, and the patriotism of a nation as it gives character its force, business lis dignity, commerce its impetus, and the home cirelo its beauty and happiness it well becomes m to examine whether oar school system meet tho exigencies of the times and the demands of the nation whether ouischools are superintended in such a manner, and instruction imparted in such a form, as shall iit bue the youthful mind with Idea and principles which will be of ntil.ty to themselves and others. Our public schools have acuioved muoh. Tbcy have sent forth to the pulpit, to tbo bar, to the sick bed, to tho store, and to the workshop, linen who aro ornaments to their profession or occupation. Iheyhave polihod the diamond that lay concealed in poverty's hora. They have mado young lames good teachers for our schools and good wives tor eur mon. Thote achievements ire not, however, in consequence, but in spite of our system of controlling and directing our schools. Our manner ol selecting School liiroctors and Contro lur by public election, has been and is increasingly fraught with detriment to the caueo ot education. Our bchool Directors generally seek the office to gratily an empty ambition. Tho truly intelligent have in various instances refused tho ofiico, not be cause they took no interest iu our educational insti tutions and lacihties, but because they objoctcd to identification with men nenerally devoid ot Intelli gence and refinement. Tho Directors are, for the most part, it uot Ignorant, at least superficial men. That there are a lew who have will-inlormed minds, with an ability to reduce to practice what theoreti cal knowledge they hve, wo are iree to concede, and just as free to regret that their worth and influ ence are lost from a want ot cooperation. Tho decided majority of D rectors are men like one of whom we hoard some days since, who, when asked by the principal if the children could go home, in consequence of the intensely cold room, saidt "Well, It's right inclement, but it will soou ntorfu late;" or, like another, who, when 8'iown some of the pupils' writing, said: "Yes, them children writes very good , cansiderin." They aro mon who can walk into tho school-room with hats on, and address the teachers in charge as Kato, Salhe, or Jane, minus the Miss. They are, in some cases, men who can walk lrom the beer saloon to the class-room. Men who often talk faster than they think, who can tell a vulgar joke well, blow the trumpet of their own praise louder than any ono else, and make traggadocia promises ot what they will do If once in office. Throusrh considerable wlre-pul ing they iugralia e themselves in tho esteem oi a lew demaeogue-politiciaus, aud thus recoive tho nomination of the party. The election pending, promises are made to various parties that they, or their relatives, shall have positions in this or that school as teachers, and the drinking-houses in tho lection are visited, whete bad pin buys many a vot. The intelligent pcopl in the section, r ward, igno rant of tho ta'cuta and character of tho candidates, Imagine all is right that iseauctloned by their party, and, therefore, vote according to tholr political predilections. Tbo teachers in charge, who are most com, eteut to judee as to the merit ol Directors, aro compelled, in view of tho forfeiture of their posi tion, to be silent. Thoirs is a dubious position, not knowing whom it is safe to recommend for the in terests oi the school and tho Bafoty of tholr positions. To involve themselves iu no difficulty or loss, there aro some teachers who donv themselves the right of suffrage. Cat Just the very mon who have retorted to the most grovelling influences, and who were most indefatigable in collecting and buying up votes, are elected, and become our public schools' superintendents. It is a blot upjn the fair name of our oily and a disgrace to our public school system, that men de void of principle, percept hlv Ignorant, and immoral in character, should be placed at the head of and associate with ladies whose talents are good, man net polite, and hearts pious. Something should bo done at once to raise the standard of school direc tors and controllers, otherwise we will soon have a corps of teachers whose character and abilities wilt be on the samo level. They shou d be appointed by the llajor, regardless of political preference. The Legit, lature or our Couucils could invest him with such power. It would be unnecessary to retain the same number we now have. A smaller number, but em bracing more intelligence and system, would answer a bettor purpose. This sugtrostlon may hive its ob jections, yet the fact remains, that the superinten dence of publio schools should be improved. The fact till remains, that men who direct and eontrol our schools should give satisfactory evidence that they have abilities to discriminate between what is thoioupb and superficial mstruodoa in a teaoher, They should be men who feel their respon sibility, and not their authority. They 1 tbouid fully comprehend the nature aod cl.ects of education, and therefore only adopt mih systems of Instruction, and only recommend inch discipline In the tehi ol-room, as thoy honestly think will promote education in foneral, and th special into rects of tbe school which they superin tend in particular, lbey thould be men imbued not mtrcly with n ffl dry ot manner and a pulitead drrcs, tut should have a high tens, apart from sec tirtanism, of w hat is right and wron' and should have tiecom latency of character, and tho coii'ago; which a teriFO of right berets, to ipea'i to teachers oi what their duties arc, and what n turn is rrquircd of tbe pupils. (Should teachers not exhibit the suc- cers anticipated, they should examine all the obsta cles in the way, before expressing the loa-t shadow ol tnsi ic'ou that dnty was avoided or nogb cted. A single failure should not hi made the cause for im mediate ump cion, fot the best talent has failed in its first (fioit. Should failure be repeated until the Interests ol tho school would demand a chango, it thould be done with a dignity and earnestness which indicates that no personal lnorest wcro con sulted, no personal resentment grallflod, and that no third party had interests at stake A successor should be chosen out of the various applicant, wboso merit and circumstances alone should be considered, and no political Influ ences or tics of nature should have weight. Tbe new vocation w hich the person just appointed enters upon should be freed from every available embar tasmrnt, snd made pleasant as early as practica ble, to allow the tree excrclso of energy. Tho Dlrec tors should encoumge a warm feeling and unanimity of purpose among the various teachers ot tho dif ferent departments. Tbe difficulties be tween tbe Grammar and Ilig'.i Schools, which the teachers from Doth deplore and labor hard to prevent, have doubtics their source in lie miserable Boards of Directors and Controllers To rhleld our Central High School from assault, like that which it bus reccn ly received in our t ouncr ( hinmier, there mti$t be men apno.nted who have the s'rcnelli of intellect ml the force of charaoior to blend and unite ih efforts ot tho various depart ments teachers and pupus to rach one high objoot As long as discordant intcresis are tolerated anion t Directors and Controllers, so long will discordant elements a ice ate ful ordinate lrom co-ordinate cliools to long will pettv bicterlugs and bitter animosities exist to make tho liio ot teachers dis igrecable. That then inny be a change or Improve ment Boon made, is the ardent wish ot An OnsERVKtt. AMUSEMENTS. BIfcLEY'8 CONTINENTAL NEWS h XCHANOK.
