An English paper, commenting on the Tammany nominations, in an article quoted in this paper yesterday, suggested that the opponents ol Seymour and the repudiation platform have only to raise the cry of “Grant and Honesty,” to cany; the whole country. The suggestion is accepted, though with Grant and the Republican party generally, honesty is taken as a matter of course. But' let us make an addition and inscribe on our banners “Grant, Honesty and Peace.” These are what the true Republicans, the true pa triots, are striving tor in the pending canvass. Thfe Democrats, on the other hand, are labor ing for Seymour, Repudiation and War. This is their programme as enunciated by various leaders or the party, and notably by their nominee for the Vice Presidency. General Grant, however, is for Honesty and Peace, and the Republican party are for Grant and Colfax, Honesty and Peace. It is a strong ticket, and, as tbe English editor says, it is sure to “carry the whole country.” TBE SCHOOL COVTBOLLEBS AND COUNCILS. -The forty-ninth yearly report isshedby the Controllers of the Public Schools exhibits a picture of healthful activity in this all-im portant department. of public service. For instance, we observe that thirty-three new school-houses are at this moment going up under contract, most of which will be com pleted within six months—we do not accu rately know from when, as Mr. Shippen’s resume is npt dated, but at any rate they will all be finished within the current year. The handsome brown-Btone edifice at Twentieth and Coates streets appears to furnish the model for some of the better clasß of these buildings; at least among the plans and pro jections which embellish the Report we ob serve a notable reduplication of the print of this model structure; for example, the afore said “Lincoln Grammar School” finds its Bimulacre in the new building going up at Sixth and Coates; every ohisel-mark on every stone being identical, every leaf on every shrub patterned after, a replica of the flag flying, twin brothers of the same school children treading in their footprints, and the eame scholastic infant being patted on the bead in the foreground by the same father in tbe same duster; the engravings being in fact identical. The sense of harmony imbibed from the contemplation of these neat prints is not Berioußly disturbed on examining the heads of President Shippen’s clear and able Report. The healthy progress Of our system of in struction appears to suffer from but one ob stacle of any moment, and that is a certain want of sympathy or defect of clearness in tbe relations between the Controllers and City Councils. Setting aside all matters treated in the Report which seem to be less momentous, let us examine the grounds of this difference, which may grow to be an unhappy one. It has long been seen by our reflecting citizens that Philadelphia school children were being educated too cheap. The report presents a taule winch sets this matter in a distinct position, by showing what is the cost of education (that is io say the brain-parti the actual tuition) of a pupil in a number of the chief cities of the Union. The sin gular fact is revealed that out of a dozen of our principal cities Philadelphia gives her children a very, very much cheaper educa tion than any commensurate town la Phil adelphia a child is educated at a cost for salaries of $9 40; in New York at twice as much, $lB 88; in New Orleans and San Francisco at tw ice-and-a-fifth as much, or $2O 31 and $2O Cl. This parsimony in com pensating Teachers, of course, results in deteriorating the quality of the tuition at once. In every country the synonym of cheap is naßty,and brains will al- ■ways Bell by weight just like butter. The schools are suffering at this moment from a most unwise economy. 'The salaries of teachers being controlled by Councils, the in evitable mistakes resulting from a want of close watching and personal interest have fol lowed. The Controllers do not complain of anything like favoritism or influence brought to bear on the selection of teachers, but sim ply of the ruinous parsimony in regarding the merits of capable tutors. Quite a num- %er of the ablest, most experienced and most ,CBCcessfhl of the male teachers have been driven from their positions by the refusal of C&y Councils to make the appropriations which the Board of Control asked for their salaries, and others are preparing to follow. The Controllers ask, as the least concession, that after the appropriations are fixed in gross by Councils, the details of certain salaries shall be left to them,or that marked deference shall be paid to their expressed wishes on these sad other details. It is obvious that the opinions of a Board selected to overßee a spe cial department are more intelligent, in regard to the items of that department, than those of the higher : functionaries whose attention is distributed oyer a host of departments; and it is evidently reasonable that Councils, after deciding on the sums they can afford to allow for the cause of education, might gracefully leave details very much to the gentlemen se lected for their intelligence in this particular subject This is not done; and the Control lers, after arranging their ideas on the little matters pertaining to the curriculum,arc often broughtio the humiliation of submitting these details to a higher Board not especially competent In the case, and of seeing their, conclusions rudely overhauled and then repudiated, They instance, among the disputed points which' have latterly arisen, the subjects of Musical and' Gymnas tic Some iyears; have now passed since the Controllers, in the exercise of their legitimate power, decided to introduce the study of Vocal Music to a limited extent; and as often as they have asked for a small -amount of money to defray the reasonable expenses thereof, often have the Councils positively voted against any appropriation therefor. Now it may be asked if this be not an undue exercise of control over this co ordinate branch of City Government, and such as cannot be sustained by any fair con struction of the law. If the amount asked for had been deemed by the Councils more than sufficient for the purpose, then indeed there might be some extenuation for the re fusal, but this has never b.een asserted; and thus it is, that Philadelphia alone, of all the large cities of the United States, is without a systematic course of elementary musical in struction in her Public Schools. Again, the imminent and growing necessity of physical culture for ohildren brought up in £i|ies has over and over again been presented to Councils. With a very moderate expense, a thorough, Simple and effective system of physical exercises could be introduced into our schools, through the instrumentality of two'or three well trained teachers, to instruct the teachers of the schools of Philadelphia, and thus afford to our eighty thousand child ren the advantages of healthiul exercise, more important even, we are free to say, than any portion of the mental culture. Time and again have the Controllers asked for the means to engraft this desirable feature upon our system, and each time the appropriation has been per emptorily refused. Now it would seem to be clearly within the province of the Board of Control to declare what exercises and studies shall be introduced into the schools within their district, and to be thereupon the duty of Councils to appro priate; in a discreet economy, the amount of necessary funds. Councils are quite relieved, by the very existence of a Board of Control, from any responsibility in deciding whether *hey will or will not sanction the introduc tion ot a study. This pitiful difference is one which contains the seeds ot a grave public disorder, and we believe the matter would only be heathily ventilated and more defini tively adjusted if the Controllers should some fine day carry out the threat they make of applying directly to Legislature for the power which pertains to every other Board of School Controllers in the Commonwealth,Viz: to levy its proper tax, within defined limits and under proper restrictions. That the sum alotted to public instructiou is anyhow a most inadequate one, however distributed, is what strikes the Controllers very forcibly. They naturally see this Bide in the strongest light, and we believe on the whole they are right A broader view, how- : ever, places Philadelphia, in relation to other cities, on a peculiar footing, which will par tially explain, if it does not justify, the differ ence in the advance of its popular instruc tion. Ab the nucleus of a great producing State, which is constantly engaged in turning t« profit its vast wealth of mineral and or ganic material, Philadelphia does and long will contain a great proportion of prosperous, well-to-do,but not cultivated working people. The father whose circumstances demand that his children should be educated at the public charge,ib with us a father who urgently needs that the period of that education shall be cur tailed as much as possible. The rich have other means of perpetuating the intelligence of their class, and are outside the question. They pay for, but they do not test, the public schooL The peculiar, large, healthy and happy body of Philadelphia industrials will only slowly demand an elevated scholarship for their children, though it is certain that their demand will gradually become more exacting with the progress of time. This state of things is what is at tbe bottom of the strange condition in which,until lately, | was found our High School, and even our | Girls’ Normal School. The boys who, for ’ their genius and superiority, were gradually ] sifted into the Public College, were undoubt edly made of turbulent and difficult material- The desire for knowledge which burned in their young blood was net controlled by any | hereditary or traditional amenity. The base estate in which that College so long rested is ; elevated now, as we see by the eloquent and absorbing report of the present Principal, i Mr. George Inman Riche. The school ap pears to have entirely recovered the proper dignity and usefulness of its career. As for the Girls’ School of Teachers, its real vitality has always kept it in an efficient and com manding position, and no disturbance has very seriously affected the development of its j beneficent object. Southern Representatives in Congress, and other loyal Southerners yesterday met iu Washington, and after discussing the effect in the South of the revolutionary sentiments uttered by Andrew Johnson in the last veto message, his immediate impeachment was unanimously urged. It wiill readily be un derstood why Southern loyalists, who tho ronghly understand the situation at their own homes, and who, perhaps, have suffered at the handa of the Ku Klox KUnnera ana the old tribe of negro drivers,should desire to see this wicked President promptly deprived of the power for further mischief. But patience is a good thing even in treating so aggravated a case as that of Andrew Johnson. Tne experiment of impeachment has once been tried and it failed for reasons that are well understood. If the usurpations, defiance of the laws ol Congress and other wrong doings were cot sufficient to secure his conviction at the first impeachment, a second trial for sub stantially the same offences would also proba bly result in acquittal. The fact is, the loyal men of the country now desire to allow An drew Johnson to run his disgraceful carree r undisturbed to its close. Nineteen-twentieths of the Uniompeople of the country were anxious for his conviction upon his first trial. Tnat having tailed, they are willing that ho should complete the term which Booth’s bullet won for him, and then go into a retirement which .will render that of John Tyler respectable, and by comparison make Wneatland and Concord illustrious. Andrew Johnson has but a few more months left in which to work AVyOTIj mischief.. Undisturbed and unrestrained he might, ,and doubtless would, accomplish great damage; but the people look r to Con-: gress tft remain at their posts and watch this dangerous man. This course would best ac complish the objects had in view by the loyal Southern men in Washington, and it would save the country the mortification of seeing the “great criminal” escape unwhipt of jus tice upon a second trial for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Loyal people, North and South, must wait patiently'for the bright po litical skies that will bless us on and after the Fourth of March, when Grant and Colfax will hold the reins of government. If General Frank Blair continues to write letters for publication, there will not be a sound insurance company in the country that would take a risk upon his life at five times the nsual rates. The Broadhead letter, which secured the Vice Presidential nomination for its author, would also have mode him Presi dent, just as Tyler, Fillmore and Johnson were made Presidents; but Blair’s letter of ac ceptance makes the case so strong that Mr. Seymour had better attend to his life insur ances forthwith, lest there should be some more epistolary blareing. The impatient chivalry were unwilling that Mr. Bu chanan should ever reach the White House, and they endeavored to settle his con nection with this world at the National Ho tel. Mr. Seymour may take warning from the example. But, upon the whole, tbe friend of the Asylum-burners of 1868 has but little to fear. His liability to a sudden taking off will only begin with his election to the Presi dency. He will save his life, butt in sav ing it, he will have to BUbmit to a good beating.' t /. ■ • The Baltimore Democracy—the same that burned bridges and tore up railroad tracks in order to cut of the communication between the loyal North and the Federal capital when the rebellion broke out—have given a reason why United States bonds should be taxed and paid in paper. The reason assigned is simply “because the bondholders gave, their money to prosecute the most unholy war ever known on the earth.” The early subscribers to the “Patriotic loan,” the men and women who contributed their little all to the cause, in this shape, will feel grateful to the Bowies, Merrimans and Kanes of Baltimore for their outspoken bluntness. It is a good deal better than the sophistries of less candid re pudiating and treason-mongers in the North and West. Lynch law is practiced not unfrequently in Texas and some other of the ex-rebel States, where President Johnson’s policy is preferred to that of Congress. But it seems very extra ordinary that it should be resorted to in any of the civilized States like Indiana. Three of the Adams Express robbers that have com mitted depredations lately were seized in the cars, where they were confined on their way to jail, on Monday night near Seymour, were hurried away from their guards by a vigilance committee of about one hundred men, and were all hanged to a tree. They doubtless deserved a severe punishment, but the law would have given it to them. We trußt that this one act of summary vengeance having been accomplished, the law will be left to deal with the rest of the gangwhen caught.

They report the recent confer ences with the Indians satisfactory. General Bberman told them that'the Government wanted peace, and that thpugb an Indian war might bo long and expensive, Its' end was Inevitable. He pointed out tho advantages of the new policy of the Government; under-which the Indians will be cared for and Kept by the Govefament instead qf being -left to shift Cor .themselves.' The resnlt of: the conference is a unanimous agreement on the part of the Indians to move to the new reservation near the Block Hills, be-, tween Fori Rice and Fort Randall, on tbe son tb west side of the Missouri. Gen. W S. Harney has gone to the Reservation to superintend the removal of the tribes, and will stay there until winter. This Is the cheapest possible mode of contending with the red man. As long as he is in his present semi-savage state ho will be in tbe way of advancing civilization ; but tbcic Is no need of shooting Uim cveiy time thts occnrs. Of tbe millions appropriated annually for the la diane, they have not received more than half, bat have been demoralized by brutal and thieving ogents. Tbe policy proposed by the Commission last year, of taking charge of these tribes and putting them under tbe care and direction of tbe army, is proving to be the wieesj, tbe moßt humane, ana. In the end, the most economical plan. To carry this Into effect requires the.approval of Congress of tbe recom mendations of tbe Commission, and the appro priation Of tbe money needed lor tbe purpose; but it wIU cost more to pay and subsist one re giment of mounted troops six months on the Plains (with tbe probable result of twenty Indians killed and as many whites put kora do com'ial) than will suffice to eupp jrt and maintain decently arid comfortably, for one year, 10,000 Indians at their reservation.” Democratic Bascallty In Connecticut. One of tbe most Infamous outrages ever com* milled on the records of any State was perpe trated In Connecticut by political partisans, sometime between Saturday and Tuesday morn ing last The office of the Secretary of State was broken open, and the new election law, passed after a very bitter and partisan discussion on Sa turday last, was so mutilated as to change the entire sense Of tbo act. Tbe New Haven Journal and Courier of yesterday gives the particulars of this blgh-banded outrage. It says: “ On the reassembling of the Legislature the En grossing Committee took up tbe bill, and were astonished to find that It hod been deliberately and systematically altered in several important particulars, so as to materially change Its sense and make it confoim to the amendments that the Democrats ha‘d attempted m vain to engraft upon it. Somebody (who It has not yet been finally ascertained,') gained access to the Secre tary's office, ana evidently knowing where the bill was deposited, took it. and proceeded to make the alterations. Adds were used to erase certain words, and In their place others were written so that tbe sense of entire sections was changed. No less tbao eight of such altera tions were detected, and there may be others. For instance, the provisions that the Board for the admission of electors ebonld only sit In the day time, were all changed so that the Board could sit In the eveLlng. This was a point that was vainly fought for by tbe Democrats in both Houses, and was rejected by a party vote. An other series of changes was the alteration of positive obligations on the selectmen to simple permissions. The whole purpose wa= to render the law ineffective, and it was evidently done by Democrats, and by men of more than usual in genuity and experience. No petty rogue perpe trated tbe Iniquity. No Ignorant scoundrel achieved the fraud. Bomebody who had access to the office of the Secretary; somebody ac quainted with tbe location of the papers there'; somebody who knew what the law was and tbe precise alterations Beeded In section after section to make the fraud consistent with itself; some body who was confident that he would not be disturbed during the hours that must have been expended on the work. Some such an one was in tbe plot and directed its execution. That somebody stood behind with money and advice is not to be doubted. That they were Democrats Is beyond contradiction. Fortunately the fraud was discovered before It was too late, and both branches of the Legislature have taken prompt action to institute investigations. It is possible that tbe Legislature may hot remain in session long enough to f< rret out the villainy, but if It adjourns it should continue its committee iu session, or better still, give Instructions to the Slate Attorney for the county to spend all the money necessary to detect and prosecute the scoundrels. “After such an exhibition of Democratic ras cality, the papers that have insisted that the party was Innocent of election frauds are con victed of their error by the action of their own partisans.” “The Woman’s Voice” in Portugal* The Pall Mall Gazette says: “The emanciputlon of* women movement extends wider than one thinks.

Calm reflection has shown that the ten-forties, at only l per cent below the 9 j>t r cent five-twenty bonds, are relatively too high, even if the fne-twenties were redeemed in areenhack* at the end ot five years, which i* not at all probable. The 1867 s are selling at lu9?k\ and if tbsy were paid off four yearß hcDc- in greenbacks, then the investor would have re ceived 4 per cent more, in gold, than on the ten-forties, eq ial to 6-60 per cent in currency with gold at 140. To-day, the United States 6 per cent. bond*, principal and interest payable In currency, is sued to the Pacific Railroad, are selling at 103, and interest equal to 103%. -It is plain from these figures that the 18675, at 109%, arc selling at a price low enough to be based on the calculation that they are re deemable In greenbacks. The t nfortiee, to be on a level with the 1867 s at 109%, ought to be selling at 102%, deduct ing the 4 per cent gold ors 60pcrcenL currency, for the four year** interest If the ten-forties are worth 108Vf to day, then the difference' f interest would make the 1867 s worth 118%. The dlscuesions and Vwtes in Congress have made it evident, both here and abroaa, that tothing will be done to reduce the interest on existing bonds, what ever may be done In authorizing the issue of new bonds. The money market is easy at tt to 4 per cent, on calhand 6 to 7 per cent, for discounts. The foreign exchange msrket is quiet, as usual, after the sailing of the packet, and on the bails ot 110% to 110% for the asking quotations of prime bankers’ sixty day sterling, but bills against bonds are offering at 110% to 11034. Some of tho German bankers have largely over sold their bills, and have not vet succeeded i • buviag the bonds to cover them.

He gave a brief history of the introduction and passage of the billß authorizing their issue, to show that the extracts quoted from Mr. Stevens s remarks at the time were made on those bills, and not upon an entirel ydifferent proposition, as said yesterday by Mr. Stevens. He affirmed after a careful read ing of tbe whole debate from the beginning to the end, that not ono utterance had he been a,ble to find where tbe clear intimation was mode that bonds were payable in anything less than coin. On the contrary, he found three or fonr distinct statements that they were thus payable. Mr. Stevens (Pa.) stated that be had had no controversy with the gentleman from Ohio, and why it was that that gentleman renewed this attack, God only knows. He (Stevens) had spo ken yesterday of the gentleman as speaking the language of others, and he would show him when the proper time came that there was not a word of truth in what either he or they said.
