Whereas by the act of February 2, 1855, consoll
dating tbe city of Philadelphia, it is provided that

he is elected shall hold any office or employment,
herein created or provided for, of a municipal
character;" and by tbe act of March 18. 1HS3, it is
further provided that "no member of Council of
said city shall be eligible to any office, employ
ment, or agency directly or Indirectly chosen by
Councils, or eitber branch of them, during the term
for which he shall have been elected to Councils;"
And whereas it is manifestly tbe intention of
said acts to prevent tbe members of Councils from
using their positions as such to the obtaining,
upon resignation therefrom, of any such office,
employment or agency mentioned in said acts, in
asmuch as seotion 48 of the Consolidation act
already exprecsly forbids a salaried officer, under
Councils, from being a member thereof;
And whereas, t . A. Van Cleve, Esq., has re
cently been appointed Assistant Solicitor for tbe
city, an c trice oreated by these Councils, under au
thority of the act of Consolidation (section 15), du
ring the term tor which he bad been eleoteda
member of Select Council, said appointment hav
ing been procured and made upon the recommen.
datioa of a number of bis colleagues, while an
other appointment to the said position had been
rejected by the same influences and for tbe same
purpote prior to the resignation of the said F. A.
V"n Cleve; therefore,
Resolved, By tbe Select and Common Councils
of the city ot Philadelphia, That in the opinion of
these Councils F. A. Van Cleve, Esq., is not ell
gible to the position of Assistant City Solicitor, to
which be baa been recently appointed.
Tbe resolution was discussed until the hoar of

What is Thought of our Public Schools.
The editor of tbe Wilkesbarre Record of the
Times has been visiting our public schools, and
tbo following article from bis puper shows what
he thinks of thera:
"We (houiil like to see our friends of the
School Board of the borough, with thclrsuper
iniendent, Mi. Collins, take a few of the halting
and doubtine, who have intelligence to compre
hend it, to the commencement of tbe Girls' High
School in Philadelphia on the 28th instant, and
let tbem see the results of a careful and con
scientious training under the system.
"At the suggestion ot General Iloyt and
Colonel R. B. Kicketts, we accompanied them
to tbe High School on a recent visit to Phila
delphia. .
"Lewis' Elken, Esq., a member of tbe Board
of Controllers ot Public Schools, and one of the
Committee on this Echool, kindly introduced
our party, and ebowed us through tbe school.
We vltiied the several class-rooms, tilled with
bright and intelligent voung ladies, all seem
ing eagerly intent on the lessons they were re
citing. Each room, devoted to its particular
branch of study, had its teacher, aud the classes
moved froai one to the other, coming in time
unoer ine examination ot an tne teachers.
These, we believe, are all graduates of tbe
school, and they furnish the best testimony of
the completeness of the education afforded.
General hoyt, one of our School Directore,
derply interested in tbe success of our new
school, was in search of information as to the
working ol tne system, ana we venture to say
he was as much astonished as delighted with
the evidence of what may be accomplished by
it. This is a Normal School, all the young
ladies, many of tbem daughters of wealthy
parents, fitting themselves to become teachers;
and what belter training for tbe position can
be found than the course of study from the
Primary Schools, passing with credit up to and
graduating with honor from this High School f
"After tbe classes were passed the whole were
assembled in the large hall, where we listened to
recitations from one or two young ladies, beauti
fully rendered, and to singing by neatly all the
pupils, under the lead Ot tbe Professor, who pre
sided at the piano.
"Our short visit baa given us a new view of
the common school system, and increased confi
dence In it."
