8 THE DAI LI EVflMNGT ELEGRAFH PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 18G9. VlTlf IHTELUdEJICB. Mrflic IN tub Pcbi.ic scHitoiA-Tne Board of School Control are endeavoring to introduce the Bf-u'iy of mnmc Into all the public schools of thin city. To that -nd they have adopted a plan of procedure no com prehcnstve In urasp, and have arranged so elteo tlvely for the execution of Urn details, that Its success can no longer be considered doubtful. Indeed, they have well used the experiment! appropriation of moo. and City Councils may heartily lncllno to be iioet liberal this fall. Jean Louis, an aocompl Uhed wnirer, educated In the llrst musical schools of (er niany, has been appointed chief Instructor, at a alary of 19(o, and under him hive been placed fonrteen competent teachers, at an average salary f tW) each. Professor Louis' main chants will be the Central High School; Professor Kverest will have the Normal School, and to each of the assistant learners will be assigned the Grammar and Second ary schools In two school districts Professor Lnols paid his first official visit to the lads at the High School yesterday afternoon, ami rave them the llrst of tho series of contemplated weekly lessons In the closing hour of the session. The experiment was a highly successful one, the tact, urbanity, and enthusiasm of the professor en listing the Interest of the boys at once. This morning Professor Louis met the lady prin rlpalsof the Primary Schools In the Normal School building. As the limited appropriation will not allow any provision for the teaching of the little ones in this department, the professor kindly volunteered to give a course of Instruction to these Principals, that they might befitted to teach their assistants nd scholars in turn. A large number of ladies were In attendance, and much Interest was manifested by them. Daniel Stelninetz, President of tho Hoard of Control, briefly referred to the Importance of the study of music In the public schools, and ranked It as of more value than any other branch of Instruction. To him It appeared to be a great moral force a police force by which tho teachers could govern the pupils with the utmost facility, anil by which the children would be rellnedand benefitted. Professor Louis being Introduced, stated his great aim was the popularization of music In the schools committed to his charge. To the attainment of tint end he would bend all his energies, and lie would request the hearty co-operatlou of those before him. lie would, at the weekly meeting on Saturday next, divide the Principals into two classes; those who had no musi cal instruction would be taught from 10 to li;-f o'clock : those who hud some prollclency would fol low until 1 o'clock. The advantages of musical edu cation were then alluded to tittingly, ami a series of Introductory exercises were explained and prac tised. The first principles of musical expression and time were Illustrated so clearly ami concisely as to show the exact competency of Mr. Louis for the duties he has assumed. In thts connection, It may be stated that the Controllers are considering the propriety of a public musical entertainment by many ol the children at the Academy of Music during the fall season, that the public may see the results achieved by a few months' thorough Instruction. A Ci'ttino Affray at Richmond Onr Shipping Maktbr Pi.unoks a Knii b Into Anotukk Yester day afternoon, a cutting afl'ray took place at Klch niond, which may result fatally to one of the parti cipants, both of whom were shipping masters. He tween those men, William (ieary and John Dryberg by name, there has existed an enmity, arising In the course of business. Yesterday they met on Pier No. 11, and after a few words about the shipment of . a crew which Dryberg hail succeeded In taking away from Geary, the latter aoproached Dryberg with a knife. Dryberg had a cane, which he plied with some little ell'ect about the head and arm of his as sailant, but the latter overpowering him, soon gained the upper hand, and Inflicted three incisive wounds upon the head of Dryberg. This he followed up in a cool spirit of determina tion by another one just below the left nipple, the blade being forced through the pleura and penetrat ing the luug. The wounded man for a time bled profusely. Some of the bystanders picked him up . and conveyed him to liearman's barber shop, near bv, when Dr. Thomas S. Hartram, IC13 Richmond Btreet, was called in and drcssod the wounds. He was then conveyed to his establishment, in William street, where he has been residing. The physician then probed the breast wound, but was forced to desist through fear of producing hemorrhage. Geary, after the committal of the deed, threw the knife into a pile of coal dirt, where It was afterwards found, the blade being bent in a semicircular form, lie was immediately taken Into custody by some of the officers or the Eighteenth district force and re moved to the station house, where he Is now con fined to await the result of the injuries he has in flicted In a passionate moment. Some four or five of the lookers-on have also been arrested to serve as Witnesses.

Better The condition of Mr. Brooks, the reve nue officer who was shot by a cowardly dastard on Monday last, has Improved since yesterday and last night, and well-grounded hopes are now entertained that he will recover. This Is grateful Information to the public, and important to his would-be assassins. His death, in case they were arrested, would have swung them without a hope of mercy.

A W hole ( burcli Suffocated The Illdeoim' Sltdit In the Dark Chambers The Sliul't that Never wan Hunk. A correspondent sends to the New York Sun par ticulars of the fuueral at Plymouth yesterday, aud adds: A Whole Church Suffocated. At the conclusion of an address, the Rev. Mr. Mor. gans, pastor of the Welsh Baptist Church in Ply mouth, remarked, with deep emotion, that ail biit three of the male members of his church had perished in the mine. Seventy Men Digging Graves. It required seventy men to dig the graves In the Hyde Park Cemetery. This force of gravediggers commenced work yesteni.iy morning, and were en gaged at It all day, uml until late last night. The Story of 1 lie First DeHceni, William Halliday, who was among tho tlrst to en ter the mine after the lire was extinguished, has made the following statement: Pink Itnxm Goi.i.iehv, Sept. 8. f, William H illuluy, have been three timea dnwa th shaft; tile ttrrtllimo 1 could nut oo away from (be bottom.

The fact, as stated by Mr. Halliday, that thirty or the men were found with their heads aud faces covered by their shirts, is accepted by many as evl deuce of a terrible struggle on the part of the minora to tight for life as Ioiik us possible. The positions of the bodies also Indicated as much, although the faces of the dead, except In a few instances, evlii blted no signs of great suffering or mental torture Even on that cold clus'er of human bodies grouped together like hideous statuary bv the hand of d.

The Ilurnln of Another Ilrenker. ta Yesterday afternoon Intelligence was receiver! here of the partial burning of thoBurroiiRhs Breikr, belonging to the Wyoming Coal and Transportation Company. This breaker is armnt a dozen miles from Avondale, and Is connected with one of the richest mines in the valley. It took fire on Sunday after noon. The flames were discovered by a boy, whr saw them shooting out of the roof, an 1 were extin. gulshed before serious damane waa Incurred. No persons were In the mine at the time. The Ntory of KIjuim of Life. The assertion that one of the bodies taeen from the Avondale mine showed signs of life on bolng brought to tho fresh air is utterly false. It Is singu lar, however, that no effort at resuscitation was made by the physicians present. I heard a man say to-day that he hod known men In Wales to be re stored to animation after having been pronounced dead death having been caused by polBonous mine gases. He urged that there had been too much haste in burying the remains, and said that the doctors ought to have taken at least two or three of the bodies, and subjected them to every test calculated to revive them. Certainly, no harm could have fol lowed such an effort, and many of the miners would have felt more satisfied than they are, for there are men here who really believe that some of the miners who were apparently dead might have been restored to life If proper efforts to resuscitate them had been made.

Special Druvatch to The Evenitv) Telegraph, Washington, Sept. 11. General Sherman to-day assumed the duties of Secretary of War. His pre cise status excited considerable discussion, as It was argued he was appointed ad interim, and which would have to be renewed every ten days unless the President should make a permanent appointment sooner. It was also maintained that Sherman could not be General of the Army and Secretary of War at the same time. All doubts about his position were re moved by some newspaper correspondents waiting upon him and requesting him to explain how tho niatter stood. He cheerrully gave them all the In formation thev desired; showed them his conr mission as Secretary or War, which holds good till Congress meets, unless the President makes another appoint ment before that time. His tlrst appointment as Secretary ad interim was revoked. He cannot draw pay for both oltlces, and will retain his army position, as General Scholleld did under similar circum stances.

Pendleton's friends called at his residence yesterday and Insisted on a speech. He begged oir, but finally consented, supported on crutches. Among other things he said: "I cannot agree with Governor Hayes that all the vexed questions of na tional parties are wisely and happily settled ; that the great questions of liberty ana union and the re construction of the Union have been made safe, and cannot agree that retrenchment, economy, and honesty have been introduced Into the management of the Federal expenditures ; that the debt has been decreased and is decreasing, as he states It; that the burdens of taxation have been reduced, and their weight upon the people lieen lightened ; that sound judgment and freedom from bad in fluences have been brought to the exercise of the Immense power of the Secretary of the Treasury; that business Is active, that enterprise is active, that vigor, energy, and industry are bountifully rewarded ; that employment is abundant, that dally toll is fairly compensated, that commerce on the ocean and in the land Is prosperous, and therefore I cannot serenely, as does our worthy Governor, turn my face from all questions of Federal politics and look only at State affairs. I cannot say the Union Is restored, when Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas are under military government, and Georgia without representation in Congress. Is peace restored when justice is administered by drum-head court-martial'' Is the Constitution maintained when we know that the Supreme Court Is only waiting an opportunity to declare the Keconstructlon acta unconstitutional? I oppose the adoption of the fifteenth amend ment because it is a material, radical change In our system of government. It destroys the relation of States to the Federal Union which the Constitution establlshed,de grades them, and takes away from the States with out their consent that, essential attribute, a self-governing community. Two years ago the people of Ohio, without distinction of party, by an immense majority, refused to amend tho State Constitution. I see no reason to believe that they have changed their opinion. I object to Its adoption because, by the strongest implication, it confers upon Con gress the right to exclude from the ballot persons of our own white race because of their native creed, want of education, or poverty, and pro hibits the exclusion only of another race. If the in terpretation of Senator Morton and Senator Howard Ik! correct, under this amendment Congress may ex clude Irish, and Germans, Catholic or Protestant, or the poor man from the enjoyment of suilrage, but not the negro or a Mongolian. I ob ject to Ifa adoption because Its partial scheme Is to Hood the country, by forced Importation, with an Immense number of Chinese coolies, ami bring Into our alien races a more dlttlcult form of social governmental questions which have so uu napplly divided our people. Mr. Pendleton dwelt at considerable length upon financial questions, reiter atlnn bis former assertions in regard to the payment of the public debt aud bondholder with greenbacks, abolishing the national bank system, ami favonug strict economy In reducing the national debt, Baltimore Produce Market.

From the failure of seientilic men, at that period, to extract and concentrate the curative principle from the crude tar, its nauseousness caused it to fall into disuse, and its great healing powers were lost to mankind until Dr. L. Q. C. Wishart succeeded in depriving he speciflc of Us unpleasant and cruder particles, and in his PINE TREE Till CORDIAL offering to the afflicted all that wa valuable, while the other parts were eliminated by its careful preparation. As soon as this was accomplished the remedy was again endorsed by the faculty, and the cures were such as to con vert its enemies and firmly establish it as one of the greatest blessings to suffering humanity Its success was immediate and wide-spread, and Us manufacture became of great importance and a source of wealth toils reviver. A long life was spent for the welfare of mankind by Dr. Wishart in perfecting his discovery and promulgating Its ueefulness, and at his decease (which took place but recently) the method of preparation an extension of its usefuluuss devolved upon his It cures colds and coughs with marvellous celerity, and is the only preparation which ap proaches to a specific. It does not cover an patch up, but eradicates disease by removing tho cause, and for obstinate, long-continued catarrhs, and consequently of the incipient stages of consumption, Is the only certainremedv in the pharmacopoeia. It would be a waste of the reader s time to enumerate cases, for the remedy is so well known, its virtues have beeu so thoroughly tested, that eulogy is superfluous aud reference not requisite. Not only as an in ternal remedy is it valuable, but externally it heals sores and Irritations, and as a pleasant fumigator in the sick room stands above all others. Tar Cordial is an extremely potent and valu able medicine for the cure of throat and lun diseases. It combines, to a degree unknown In any other remedy, vigorous action with safety and barmlcBsness. DR. WISHART'S ririE thei tail cohdial. It is the vital principle of the Pino Tree, ob tained by a peculiur process in the distillation of the tar, by which its highest medical properties are retained. It is the only safeguard and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from the juice of the Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs aud re stores the appetite. It strengthens the debilitated B3stem. It purities and enriches the blood, and expels from the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the air passages of the lungs. Its healing principle acts upon the Irritated surface of the lungs nnd throat, penetrating t each diseased part, relieving pain aud subduing inflammation. It is tho result of years of study and experi ment, and it is offered to tho afflicted with the positive assurance of its power to cure the fol lowing diseases, if the patient has not too long delayed a resort to tho menus of cure: ConMimptioii oftteZnnga, Vmigh, Sore Tlcroal and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Uompk tint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Astwut, Wnooping Cuugh, Biptteria, etc. CALL AT DR.
