. CUR PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
To the Editor of 'l"he Evening Telegraph ticntle-u-n:
Wbile tbe useiulnoss or our public schools
m very generally tell and acknowledged, tne pecu
niary vaiue, in the eyes of our City Counoilmen, ol
U.e work performi'd by the teachers therein, is not
no extensively known. Tbe merits of a so bool are
wnioiimes eoneidcr:d to be owing to tlie exertions
I the teacher.
The following is a simple and accurate statement
f J Jf ft"; Jrorn mtiuoiuntla taken irom the last report
ot the BofiU.o' Centrel. There are nt present 1217
ieuible teachers iu the various grammar, secondary,
and primary schools of C'fcr Cl,v 01 1,118 unber,
Kxiie than one-sixth ripeive ft weekly recompense
cl 678 in paper currency,
The noxt era'pi BmCCrinff liVcivise nearly one
ft ot the whole number, receive Itti 15 weekly. In
tLe next two grades there arn precisely lour him
tired and thirtv-lour ladies, who receive either $ti 92
n f7S0 re week, one huudred and eighty.six
llNi) principals Ofpriuiarv sehoo! rective jf? oo per
week. Thus (1040) one tliousand und lorty toaclisw
iu f UilAdelpliia are actually endeavoring to live at
ino present time on su arios varying from $5'7fj to
7 05 per week! A lashioinuie dressmaker clears
ouble the last sum every daj !
j be principals of our lemale grammar schools,
many of whom ore highly educated, lino classical
scholars, and accomplished linguists, receive the
laneeoioe sum of S14 42 weekly, which is less than
what saw cheerfully and willingly paid to an
tipert Biccbanid.
1 he young lady who riifOv'M 76 per week pays,
U-i us suppose, but M od lor her board, $1 to a wash
erwoman, and she has a balance in hand ol 26 cents
i-er wek, or $4' 12 per quarter, to provide shoes,
cKita.ua, etc. etc, and, in case of sickness, to meet a
'doctor's bill and pay all incidental expense.
Each teacher is required by law to have forty-live
titty pupils tinder her charge; and, during many
months ol the year, the lower divisions of our scnools
contain seventy or eighty scholars, alow pleasant a
tiling it is, therefore, to learn that there are ladies
n the city charitable enough to perform all the
arduous duties of the profession at a cost to tbe city
I one cent per day lor the instruction of 'each
eiiiM ! Ko other city oau boa-t of Kimilar meial ex
,iLnef and disinterestedness. Our schools are, and
deserve to be, tbe pride of our city; and they will
continue to be so while under the care of those who
eaa truly sav that tbey are not influenced by selti-li
r mercenary motives in oevoting time, thouirht, and
labor to the cause of education. Let Counci l en
hance, tberelore, the glory and nobleness ot the
teachers' vocation by declaring that henceforth it is
inexpedient and unwise to pay any salary wnatever
to a member of the profession a position in one ot
our puhlto srhools being in itself a sufficient reward.

AMUSEMENTS.
Hooumil I)wi sow as "Kjohaud J1I." Ilou
iuil PawWon played "Richard III" last evening at
the Academy, and played the donee with It. Such
a wholesale murder of Shakespeare has never been
attempted within our recollection, and such a posi
tively bad piece of acting we have never witnessed,
iu all our experience, ou the stage. It had not a
miigle reoeetbing trait in it. It was bad at the be
cinning, worse in its progress, and abominable at
its ciose. The play itself, too, was so hacked,
altered and emasculated generally, as to leave hardly
a (skeleton of Shakespeare's splendid creation;
and it was a positive insult to the intelligence
f the audience to give such a version of so w -ll
known a production. How, in the name of all that
m consistent, tbe ctitict of the so-called metropolis
I Sew York cou d see anything t admire in Dawi
son's Richard," we are at a loss to imagine ; lor,
in sober truth, it could bavo been performed better
liy tne veriest dunce that ever essayed the character
tai tbe worse conducted of oar "spout-shops."
We sincerely hope tuat Mr. Dawison will never
attempt it again, unless, indeed, he takes a pleasure
in vainly endeavoring to burlesque a creation that
be teem not to have the intelligence to comprehend.
Xbe "support" extended to tbe "great tragedian"
lart evening, with the exception ot "Queen Ann"
(which character was spleudlaly performed ), was
ulmot as bad as "Kichard" himself; and.as a conse
quence, tbe "ensemble" or the play wu the "iichest
And rarett," perhaps, of any on record. We bope
to never kick upon its like again ; and as last night
was the lat ot Dawieoa in Philadelphia, we think

Wabhihotoh. November 13.
The Holllna-Spooner Controversy.
Ihe ooDtett between Spooner and RolUna for
Comnissioner of Internal Revenue, continue un
afcated. Rollins hat the support of Secretary
McCuiloco, who deslrss his retention, but Spooner
bas the ear ot the President, and his Irlcnds con
fidently predict that bis nomination will be mado
belore tbe end of tne week. General Cominger, of
Ohio, another candidate for tbe same position, has
withdrawn, but another candidate, Ureea Adams,
has been brought out.
He claims to be from Ptnla lolph a, but is a Ken
tuckian, and for some years past baa held a clerkship
in Washington. His backers are a tow of the pro
minent Johnson leaders of I'hiladolphia, but their
influence will not amount to much, and Adams, it Is
thought, lias little chance of eucoess.
Tlie President Will Not Appoint Demo
crat. In a conversation a few days ago with a promi
nent politician, the President Is reported to have
declared emphatically that ho would not appoint to
office men who had voted against Lincoln, It ho
know it. Be would appoint war Democrats, like
Dix and others, hot those who had not actod with
tbe party at the last Presidential election could not
expect to be appointed to important positions.
He felt grateful to the Democ rots ior the manner
in which they had sustained his policy rocently,
but tbey did it from principle, and should not ex
pect, as a consideration, to bo rewarded with offices.
The President is bolieved to be actuatod by a moro
conciliatory spirit towards Congross since the result
of tho late elections.
Claims of the Reconstructed" at the
War Department.
Quite a number of elalms have locently been pre
sented to the War Department irom cillzons of tho
Kebei States, asking for rent and compensation lor
the uo of their houses, barns, and other property,
by our troops daring the war. Those claims have
begun to assume formidable proportions, and l'
allowed in the firet instance, there would be no end
to them, as they would reaoh hundreds of millions
of dollars. The War Department, however, has sum
marily ruled them out. I no parties interested
threaten to appeal to the President, and even to
Congress, but it is not likely they will get much
''compensation" there.
The Impeachment tueation.
The question ot iinpoacinn tno President seems
to be regarded a a threat to keep hi tn straight iu
the traces, but thoro is no real probability that it
will be done. 1 he more violent will luiust. upon it,
but the niajoritj will not tiroceed to this extremity.
The Internal Revenue Bureau.
The wholesale romova's and appointments of in
tercal revenue ofneors nm have a most injurious
rfltct ou the business of tbe Department, which it is
thought will cause a thorough investigation to be
made as soon as Cougie a meets. The adjustment
ol tho accounts oi removed officers will be delayed
for yean uuie-s a moro energetic system is adopted
Bills of atnetsors and collectors for stationery and
printing, which have boon regularly filed
in the Bureau for nearly a year pa?l, have not been
acted on, and there is no telling when they will be.
BcsidcM, other claims and business which sbonld
long since l ave been settled remain unattended to,
und there Is littlo prospect of improvement while
the pi Ghent wild huut aitor office continues. This
evil is not tbe fault of tho present Commissioner,
who has been powerless to prevent the numerous
changes which have boou ao recklessly and unneoes
fnrily wade.
Treaty with the Juarez Government.
The dialt of a treaty between the United States
and the Juarez Government hat already been pre
pared, and it it is proposed tOaUomilit to the Scnato
soon after Congress meets, as the reception of the
feelers put out through the press indicates that the
peeplc of the country are not avprse to tho project.
The Ailmiiiutiation now believes it will be sustained
by the people In guaranteeing material aid to the
,ivn"ort. pi fho Juaien Government lor a tomtormj
c6nslderalion.
The original plan was that ueheral Grant should
accompany Minister Campbell to Mexico. He had
signified a disposition, to do so, and it was only at
the last moment that he doolined. Much less confi
dence was felt in General Shot man's discretion than
in Grant's, but it was doomed necessary bo give the
Commission the significance of some distinguished
military presence.
Lobbyists at Work.
The Western lobby, In behalf of the appointment
ot General Spooner to the piece of Commissioner ot
Internal Kevcnue, are persistently at work, but do
notseem to make much headway. Their argument
for the displacement of Commissioner Rawlins is
that his decisions favor Eastern interests.
An effort is being made to displace Mr. Bar
rett, Commissioner of Pension's.
The indictment submitted to the grand jury
agaiut bnntord Conover, for perjury, covers
forty-eeven pages of foulucnp. The jury has not
returned a true bill.
The Shooting Stars Did Not Come to
Time.
Tbe gnat meteoric display did not come off last
night, but the watchers at the National Observatory
saw and marked the track of nearly 400 meteors in
tbe course of the night.
The Pardon Commissioner Receive the
Cold Shoulder.
The President has declined to torma'ly rooeivo the
Mississippi Commissioner who oome in behalf of
tbe Mississippi Legis ature to ask the pardon of JefT.
iravis. Tno have sent to the President the resolu
tions of the Legislature, aod will, at elevon o'clock
