Mr. Edgar K. Apgar, who is en the
Democratic slate committee of Xew
Yerk, writes te the public te declare that
no meeting has been held by the state
committee, or its executive committee,
since the election, and that therefore no
action has been taken relative te a con
test of the vote of Xew Yerk. He con
ceives that the only ground for such con
test is that certain Republican electoral
tickets might be rejected en which the
word "olectera" has been twice printed.
This he believes should net be done
'Te change the result in any ether way,''
he says, " mere than 20,000 separate
cases of fraudulent or corrupt voting
would have te be proved an evident im
possibility. It certainly cannot be ex
pected that the present state beard of
canvassers will declare otherwise than is
shown by the face of the returns, and my
view of Democratic doctrine leads me te
held that Congress cannot go behind the
seal of the state te investigate fraud at
the polls in the choice of presidential
electors. This being he, it seems te me
that all l:Uk assuming te possess an offi
cial character about having the electoral
vote of this slate cast for Hancock is
calculated te bring ridicule and reproach
upon the Democratic party and would
tend, if importance were given te it, te
product' a still worse effect. These who
would justify even a slight departure
from established laws and forms te count
in Gen. Hancock in a spirit of revenge
for tin frauds of lS7(i would, in my judg
ment, go far te make tiie bad precedent
of that year a rule for the future and
would take a long step toward Mexican
iing our government."
Mr. Apgar seems te us te talk both
sense and nonsense. lie is evidently a
man of excellent intentions and inclined
te be very honest towards his political
enemies; but net able te lake an entire
ly just view of his honest duty te his
political friends. He wants te de what
is .right, but unfortunately thinks he can
best de it by giving up his rights.
The meek command of the scripture,
which directs tnal when the enemy
smites you en one cheek, the whole body
should be surrendered te him te kick, is
one that suits very well Mr. Apgar's
tcmpc-i anient. It is a very common
temperament; almost as common as
the ether kind which takes no thought
of justice te its fee and is sedulous only
te take care of number one; and don't
care hew it doe:? it. The Republican
party has men of this latter kind te lead
it, and seems te prosper thereby. AVede
net like the kind and de net want any
of them at the head of our organization.
We want te have a chance te respect
eiir.j-'Uvs: an l d-s'i in perjurers and
thieves, either for presidential candidates
or at the head of our organization.
But neither de we want men of Mr. Ap
gar's kind. They will de very well te
make political speeches, but they are net
the kind te rely en for political acts.
They have net the needed elasticity and
strength of mind. They go te pieces tee
quickly.
Here is Mr. Apgar for instance, one of
the Xew Yerk state eoniiiiittee,preelaim-
ing that his committee has net met since
the election te consider the serious alle
gatiens of fraud committed in the state
bv the lb-publicans. That is nothing
certainly te be proud of. The state or
iraniaitien suivlv ewe it te the Demc-
cratie voters te meet together and deter
mine whether there is any substance in
theehargc. .Mr. Apgar does net .seem
ingly care te have it meet. He has made
up his mind that nothing should be done.
lie does net knew whet her any fraud has
been perpetrated or net, but he does net
want te undertake the labor of attempt
ing te prove 0.000 fraudulent votes, and
he beiieve.- that the Republican returning
beard of the stale would net he per
suaded by any proof that would be pre
sented te it : and he does net believe
that Congress has the power te reverse
the finding of the properly constituted
authorities of the .slate.
Our judgment agrees with that of
Mr. Apgar in many of his conclusions.
"Ve agree that the state authorities will
most likely certify the election of the
Garfield electors no matter what case
may be made against them. And we are
inclined te agree that Congress cannot
upset the state's verdict se rendered.
But yet it does net fellow that the peo
ple should net be made te knew hew Re-1
publican power lias been unjustly used te
seat a Republican president who has net
honestly been elected. Mr. Apgar's com cem
mitteehasa dut te perform in discovering
the fraud of the election, if it has been
carried by fraud, which is entirely inde
pendent of any question as te whether
the wrong that is proven will be righted.
The wrong must be shown. It is weak
ness and felly te declare it without seek
ing te prove it. But when it is proved
the responsibility is put upon the Re
publican party of profiting by it, if it is
in its power under the law te still seize
this profit when the iniquity of it is
demonstrated.
"We believe in acting under the law
and in strict observance of it, always.
But v.e believe in using all the powers
given us by it in self-defense, and net in
yielding te what may seem te be the in
evitable without the most vigorous and
effective pretest we can make, whether
or no Hancock may be seated by it. If
there has been the gross fraud in Xew
Yerk which has taken its electoral
vote from him the duty of the Xew Yerk
Democracy te themselves and te their
brethren in the nation demands that they
shall probe and develop it. It can hard
ly be that if it is well proven a way will
net be found under the law te right the
wrong. As has been suggested, the Xew
Yerk returning beard has one Demo
crat in it and lie will net certify te the
election of the Garfield electors if they
have net been chosen. Twe certificates
will then come before Congress which
may give it power te act.
What there is in the fact that the Re
publican tickets in Xew Yerk state were
net lawfully printed, te make the ballets
null, we de net knew. But we de knew
that if the Jaw does nullify them we )
should have them nullified. If we are
expected te stand by the law ourselves '
and te submit te the occupancy of the
presidential chair by a man who has net
been fairly elected, simply because the
law does net avail te afford us relief, we
propose te held our antagonists te the
same measure of right. Let the law rule
between us. Let the judges of Xew
Yerk interpret it. But de net let the
weak Apgars get down en their
knees with our banners while there is
a shot left in the locker and a cannon
undischarged.

The Russian crown prince, under what

as a rigorous supporter of the Panslavistic

Seme "of the Independent Republican
newspapers which smiled approvingly
upon Dersey's remarkable campaign work
in Indiana have a chill of horror ever the
suggestion that he is te be clerk of the

LORD
MAYOR.
Great En:
A Grand
Pageant In the
Capital.
ilsli
Lord 3Iayer's Day has come round again
in Londen, bringing with it the medkeval
pageantry and show se dear te the Eng
lishman In general, and the Lendener in
particular. The weather yesterday was
fair and everybody out te view the proces preces
sion. There were scarcely any new fea
tures about it, however. There were the
same gilded, ornamented state carriages of
" His Worship," the new head of the civil
government, of the ministers of the state,
and of the aldermen. The guilds were out
in full force and their liveries and banners
formed quite a brilliant and picturesque
scene. The new lord mayor, Mr. William
Mc Arthur, was received with cheers, as
was also the out-going chief. Sir Francis
Wyatt Truscott, who during his adminis
tration made himself very popular.
The processieu passed through the
ward of Celeman street, which Mr. Mc
Arthur represented in the beard of alder
man, aed en its return was met by the
carriage of the lady mayeress, the carriages
of the judges aud great state officers fol
lowing. The precession then proceeded
from Guildhall yard te aud down King
street, Cheapside, Old Jewry, Celeman
street, Fere street, Finsbury
pavemcut, Seuth place, Elden street,
East street, Finsbury circus, Circus
place, Londen Wall, Moergate street,
Prince's street, St. Paul churchyard. Fleet
street, aud Strand te Westminster, return
ing across Westminster bridge, down
Yerk read, Lambeth, Stamford street,
ever Blackfriars bridge, down Lemen
street te Guildhall. At Westminster hall
the lord mayor was sworn in with the
usual ceremonies. The crowds then dis
parsed te the various places of amuse
ment in and about the city. The theatres,
the music halls, Crystal Palace and the
various ether establishments did a thriv
ing business.
Mr. Gladstone' Speech.
The new Lord Mayer gave the custom
ary banquet at Guildhall last night. Near
ly a thousand guests attended. Mr. Glad
stone, M. ChaHcmcl Lacour, the French
ambassador, and M. Condest tules, the
Greek minister, were received with enthu
siastic cheers. Mr. Lewell, the American
minister, was present. Mr. Gladstone, iu
reply te the toast te "Her Majesty's Min
isters," said the abundant harvest
was ene fortunate circumstance for
Ireland. It would be the duty of
the ministers te carefully examine
the condition of the law in regard
te the wants of Ireland, aud if they found
occasion te believe its previsions were in
sufficient for the happiness of the people,
they would net scruple te call upon Parli
ament te deal with the subject iu a spirit
equity and justice lie continued :
"Illegitimate influences are at work in
Ireland. The maintenance of public order
is te be considered before the improve
ment of the law. These who wish te occupy
evicted farms are obstructed by
menace, intimidation, crime aud the in
fringement of the rights of free citizen
ship. Although the government are anx
ious te promote practical improvements in
the land laws, yet we recognize as a duty
above all ethers the duty of enforcing the
law for pin poses of order. The obligation
incumbent upon us is te protect every citi
zen in the enjoyment of life and property,
and it may be that under certain circum
stances we may be compelled te ask for a
certain increase of power, but we will
never anticipate such contingency. Yet
if it arises we shall net shrink from the
obligations devolving upon us."

.Malicious
Itciiiibllcan Insinuations Ue-
- ruteil
The friends of Clerk Adams arc highly
indignant at the insinuation that he will
usurp authority or resort te illegitimate
means in making up the roll of the next
Heuse of Representatives, for the purpose
of giving the organization te the Demo
crats. The duty of the clerk of the Heuse
is plain. He places upon the roll the names
of members certified as elected by the ex
ecutive of the state, when the certificates
are in the form prescribed by the law
of the state whence they emanate. It
has .sometimes happened that the vote was
se close that the executive declined te give
the certificate te cither party, but trans
mitted tiie returns of the election te the
clerk. In such case it would perhaps be
discretionary with him te place one of the
names en the roll as having the prima facte
title, but without prejudice te the. ether
party. But the practice has been te refer
the whole subject te the Heuse te be de
termined by it when organized. In the
Forty-fifth Congress there was a doubt as
te who had been elected from Colerado.
Mr. Adams acted with perfect fairness
and declined te put cither name en the
roll. The Heuse subsequently seated Mr.
Patterson, the Democratic candidate.
There is net the slightest reason te doubt
that he will act with absolute fairness
also iu making up the roll of the next
Heuse

Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger.
I have learned, from a perfectly reliable
source, seme additional facts ceneernintr
I the Democratic pregramme in relation te
alleged frauds which arc important enough
te repeat. Te-day Tammany committees,
are at work ebtaiuing what are called
legal proofs of the alleged illegal vot
ing in no fewer than twenty-two Assem
bly districts. These committees will
submit their report te the beard of state
canvassers, which meets at Albany en
the 17th. There is but one Demo
crat en the beard Horatio Seymour, jr.
aud, while the majority will undoubtedly
declare the Garfield electors duly chosen,
Mr. Seymour, en the faith of the Tam
many affidavits (supported by additional
evidences of illegal voting, which, it is un
derstood, will be furnished by the Demo
cratic state committee), will declare that
the Hancock electors aie duly chosen.
This, it is expected, will at ence bring the
issue before Congress, and, following the
Louisiana precedent, the further expecta
tion is that that body will net hesitate te
go behind the returns aud sec
just what the alleged frauds amount
te in fact. In the interim public
interest in the controversy is te be kept
alive by mass meetings at Irving hall and
Cooper institute A prominent member
of the Democratic national committee is
desirous of having it understood that that
body is net taking auy active part iu tiie
pending investigation. He says " they
have no immediate fuuetiens iu that direc
tion ; the whole business is in the hands of
the city and state committees, and when
these bodies have executed their mission,
we shall incorporate tiie results in an ad
dress te the people of the United States."
Yeu will see at once what a deer for fu
ture agitation all this opens up. As here
tofore intimated, thcre is a strong con
servative element in the Democratic party
that leek upon it with mere or less
of misgiving ; but Mr. Kelly aud
his friends, it is pretty certain are
resolved te go ahead with it. There
is no lack of motive for their action. Mr.
Kelly himself is smarting under the bitter
est reproaches for having "wrecked Han
cock" iu erder te save his mayoralty can
didate, Mr. Grace. If he can somehow
show that, after all, Hancock was elected
these reproaches will lese their sting. It
is a big job, but he and his adherents arc
cvidentlv resolved te try their hands at it.

and killing the game thereon before the
field trials came off, Mr. Roehm net only
denies the accusation laid against him, but
makes affidavit that he did net hunt ever
the grounds reserved for the field trials,
and that up te the close of the trials he
had shot but two birds the present season,
and these were shot mera than four miles
from the grounds. He denies that he
ever took or sent any of his friends te
hunt ever the ground, but en the contrary
warned them net te de se, policed the
grounds as closely as possible, and re
peatedly scattered wheat and ether feed ou
the grounds for the purpose of keeping
them there, and that at the time of the
trials and even at the present time there
are plenty of birds en the trial grounds.
He adds that he has net new nor ever did

ing paragraph showing the character of its j
centents: 'But, while the supplement !
contains its twenty songs and hymns, the j
music in parts, and gives the words of j
twelve or fifteen additional selections with- j
out the music, it is in its Star club papers, ,
and in its stars and star groups and ether i
related matter that it possesses especial
value The work of the Star club has been
presented here in form as full and ceinplete
as possible The star list of last year,
also, and one or two additional
pages, arc reprinted with little modification
from former supplement, for accent, dates,
directions, distances, relative positions,
mythological fancies, and reference gener
ally. The several Star ciub papers treat,
for the most part, of the solar system as
a unit, iu its several members, and in its
varied and wonderful phenomena. They
discuss its amazing features of vastness
incomprehensible, velocities incredible,
distances immeasurable, uurcekened lapse
of time, and overwhelming grandeur. Then
the scene changes, and as we contemplate
the zodiac and the far-speeding li-rht, all
iuu imiiiciisiLv wmi wnicu we nave necn

becomes a mcre point in space around
which in every direction lies the illimita

suns. Then the constellated stars Mm
same splendid orbs beneath which Abra
ham worshiped and David sang ; the
same that shone above the builder
of the pyramid ; the same the Magi knew.
This pamphlet thus becomes an excel

comprising old or young in its member

Tuesday Afternoon. The exercises were
opened with vocal music under direction of
Prof. Wm. B. Hall.
Prof. Shaub made a few announcements
and introduced Mr. C. V. Lichty, who de
livered au address en the question " What
shall be done with the unclassified irregu
lars ?" that is, with these large boys and
girls, who from irregular attendance at
school or from natural mental dullness,
arc always far behind pupils of the same
age who arc regularly classified in the
school. Mr. Lichty said he found it difii
cult te answer the question ; first, because
he had net bcen long a teacher, and second
because he had lsad very little experience
with pupils of tin class named. The rea
son why se many big boys aud girls in the
schools arc se far behind ethers of their
own age is no denbtgcnerally because their
i regular attendance at school; some of these
arc kept from school by work at home, or
for these in whose employ they may be,
and it is tee often the case tha: employers
give their employees very Vmvt opportuni
ties for instruction and ample opportuni
ties for work. The first thing te de in the
interest of these irregulars is te teach them
these things thaff will be most useful te
them in the ordinary walks of life, teaeh
them them te read lluently and correctly,
te write legibly, te make eat bills, receipts
and keep accounts, teach them someprom semeprom someprem
nenfc facts icgarding astronomy, botany,
natural philosophy and ether branches, se
as te give them a taste for further educa
tion, and encouragement te help them
selves, as opportunity may offer.
Dr. Shumaker lectured en "The qualifi
cations of teachers." He remarked that
wc hear a great deal said of the necessarv
oualiiicatiens of a teacher, and yet the
greatest qualifications arc these that can
not be described. They are like the finest
touches of a great painting; they can be i
seen but net described. AVhen Sir Jeshua I
Reynolds was asked hew te mix his paints
he said "with brains, sir." Se of-the '
qualifications of a teacher
they consist
i teacher, like
largely el brains, ir.c true
the true poet, is born, net made. There
aie, however, qualifications that may he
described. The first of these is knowl
edge. Ne one can teach that which he
does net knew ; and first of all he must
knew himself. Few of us have ever
learned much about eurselves: in school.
Few in this audience would be willing te
.stand lip te-day and say " I understand
myself;' and yet the mere we try te prop
erly understand ourselves the better we.
win ue aiiie te understand and teach
ethers. The teacher should often take an
inventory of what he knows and what he
docs net knew ; of his physical, moral
and mental abilities or disabilities ; of
his evcrgy, patience and adaptability
for teaching. lie should besides
have a 'knowledge of all the branches
taught in the school and a knowledge of
human nature. Every pupil should be re
garded as a book of natuie, In be read,
.studied ami understood ; the geed in them
should he festered, the bad rooted out ;
evil tendencies checked, and the pupils'
feet directed from evil te righteous ways.
It cannot be expected that young men ami
women, without experience, can possible
possess this knowledge. AVhat is needed
mere than anything else is a school in
which te teach teacheis hew te teach.
The teacher should acquiie all the knowl
edge he can, in the school and eat of the
school, and if, when he has done the best
he can de, he is stiil unable te tell the
pupil what he wants te knew let him
frankly confess it ; make no attempt te
deceive the pupil, bat set t once about
acquiring the necessary information se
that he may intelligently impart if.

Pre!'. Ileiges continued his lecture en
ventilation, and explained the chemical
changes which take place and produce
carbonic acid gas by the decay of vegeta
ble or animal matter by slew combustion.
I)y the same process the life-sustaining
oxygen taken into the lungs is absorbed
by the system, and the poisonous carbonic
acid gas generated during respiration is as
promptly thrown off. Prof. Heigcs stated
that the popular belief that it is unwhole
some te have plants or flowers in a bed
room or .-itling-roem has no foundation in
fact. On the contrary the plants take up
the poisonous gas exhaled by the occupants
of the reym and tend te keep tiie
air pure. Scheel rooms would

filled with flowers and growing plants,
lie had been asked, "Hew is the "carbonic
acid gas taken up in winter when the leaves
have fallen from he trees'.'" He answered
that in wilder, when the weather is cold.

i'he lecturer then filled a "Ias iar with
carbonic acid gas by exhaling his breath
into the jar. Te show that the jar was
filled with ihe gas, he placed short lighted
candle in it. and the light immediately
went out. He then placed a plant iu the
jar and closed the mouth of the jar with a
i stepper te siiew that the plant would in.
hale the oxygen and that the poisonous air
iu the bettie would be purified by te-morrow
morning, at which time he would
demonstrate the fact by further experi
ment. Music "Twilight is Falling," " Oh.
City Fair."
Prof. J. P. ilcCaskey lectured en as
tronomy, his subject being the constella
tion of the "Northern Cress," the stais
comprising which he had placed upon the
black bea: d and gave sonic rules te ama
teurs for locating them in the heavens.
A. IJ. Kreidcr, being called upon, gave
his experience in the study of astronomy.
' Commencing enlv two vears age. without
any knowledge el the constellations except
the Great Dipper, he had gene en until he
was able te locate all the constellations
and name the stars that compose them.
At present font teen of his pupils knew
the names and location of the 1150 stars
the names of which were given in the late
course of lectures before the Star club. Re
believes the study of the stars is calculated
te dispel many of the superstitions pre
vailing among the pstiple seme of whom
will net plant, or reap, or mew, or bathe,
or cut their hair cxeept iu ceitain signs of
the zodiac.
Mrs. Archer said that as seen as her
pupils are old enough te have a knowledge
et the subject, she points out te them
some of tiie mere prominent stars, and
leaenes mem te uistmgmsii between the
planets and the fixed stais ; informs them
of the immense magnitude of their size
and their immense distances from us, and
from each ether. In this way she gets the
lilt'c folks much inteicsted without the use
of a text book, and inspiring them with
some idea of the wonders of creation.
J. II. AVitmer, AVest Hcmpiield, A. H.
Ililshr, Conov, and Prof. HeigcK, of Yerk,
gave their experience in the .study of
astronomy and the geed it had done in
their respective districts. Net only the
children, but their parents, became inter
ested in the study, and old farmers who
were scrupulous iu consulting their al
manacs, as tej the weather and time for
planting, &c, were delighted te be able te
find in the heavens the Rani, the Lien, the
Fishes, the Balance, the Twins and the
ether " signs" which they had before
only consulted in their almanacs.
Mr. AVhitall, thejinventer of the plani
sphcie, was introduced and gave seme ac
count of tiie manner in which he had ac
quired a knowledge of astronomy aud his
manner of teaching it.
Music" The AVandcr Stiff."
"The Personal Influence of the Teacher"
was the subject of a discemse'bv Prof.
James Crawfeul. He held that the teacher
must be stronger than the collective
strength of his iehueU If he is net the
stronger he will prove a failure He must
have his pupils as absolutely under his
command, as is the clay in the hands of
the potter. The end of all education is
found in the perfection of these placed in
the care of the educator. An imperfect
teacher cannot make perfect pupils. The
teacher should study hard te find out what
is in every one of his pupils, aud should
remember that while doing se every one
of them is trying te find out what. is in
him. The face of the teacher is the text
book most studied by the pupils. The
pupil studies the teacher's face as an index
te his, mind ; and studies also his man
ners. habits, virtues and vices, and from
these the pupil learns lessens that tend t
mould his character and govern his actions
through lite, for weal or for wee Tin
teacher is an ebjece lessen that the pupil
studies mere than any ether. He is the
living embodiment of the pupil's moral
philosophy. Hew necessary, therefore
that he should se govern his ac" ions as te
advance the well-beinu of the.-e placed
under his charge. If the great Nanoleen
could be overawed by gazing en the pyra
mids, hew much mere deeply hheuld
teachers be impressed by the thought tha1
the characters of generations of men are I
be meulded by them.
