Mr. Taylor presented a resolution pro. viding for a change in the manner of se. lading Text Books. The resolution recommends the pas sage of ao act of Assembly providing that oif the La of May, 1870. and every three years ther the members of the local Boards eaftshall er, meet and vote for text books, and that the books receiving the highest number of votes shall be se. lected for three years. Ml. Hartman opposed the resolution I on sfieground that it will only increase the evil It was intended to prevent. When Um time for changing books ar rived the book agents that now bore the members of the Central Board would transfer their attention to the local toards, If It WY only the adoption Of books for a longer period that. wee de aired that object could be attained just as well by the Central Board as by any other way, or it might bo transferred to the voice of the people. Mr. Taylor replied that there was always endue the influence brought to bear on the members of the Board at every change of books and it woo to avoid this that he desired the change. Mr..Pleming hoped that sours action would be taken In the matter, as there had been considerable diseatiafactlon In many of the local boards at the aeries of books adopted last year, and there was already a move on foot by said : Local Boards, and he would rather have the matter start in the Central Board. Mr. Craig said that while this question was being disowned he desired io say • few words In defence of the Board, , which had been grossly mluepreeented through a certain newspaper. On the i Sunda abasement charges had boon made against the Board as follow*: That large .mnexpended balances' have been carried over from year to year without Interest on the same, 'having been se cured for tno benefit of the tax payers. Now Ato tbe fact& Before the Lewis's. tun, without consulting this Board, changed the mode of collecting the school tax, by passing the act of Much, IMO, the mone wee collected through miletore, a ppo inted by the Board, from. the t a x payers, just SS the money was needed. lerequently the treasury war empty and the collectore badlo blie purred up to pot money Into the Treasurerit hands to pay . the warrants drawn upon the Treasur At the end of the school year of this city, July b. in 1868 end in IMO, the Treasurer. without fundaln his hands, to the-credit of the Boatti paid mamma to the amount Of from five to eight thousand dollars without any charge to the Board. Just as soon tithe new mode of collecting the tax went into effect, and enough money was paid into the? rummest's hands on the first of August But. to pay the musing SIMMS of the schools for about eight months, the Board. at Is first meeting , referred to the flames Committee a resolution in quiring alt to the propriety of putting an interest the - of fifty thoneand dollars. This wes be fume any cormiderable Nineties.= the InineXPlDEldell bland ," was raised; and A a subsequent meeting a resolution was passed Instructing the Finance commit tee to deposit In the bank allowing the highest rate of interest and best security, fifty thousand doltars for six months. The Finance Committee obtained legal advice • adverse to the loaning of the money, which opinion was indorsed by anexperienced attorney, a member or the Ward, and on the report of the Com mittee, Inc resolution was rescinded. What other Board In this city or county has roads the effort to invest, not Its no. expen d e d balances, but a portion of the funds 'need during the current year ? For several years pest, the school fenhas been In our sister city,Allegheny, collected N.ln the new ward's. And who has raised the cry against them for not putting their money at interest? Why not commend this Board for at least making an effort to do, trusteed of abusing them because their efforts; were not successful? Another correspondent charges upon this Board frequent changes in the Text Books in use in the schools, causing great expense to the parents or the children or pupils in the purchase of Books. What are the facts in the case? teat year, for the first time for several years, a change was made in two series of Text Books in use, Both of which had been in use in the schools far front twenty to thirty years. and the expense to the parents of the pupils was • Pingn- Ur one. Huth pupil received a new book or the old one, without any charge. Many of the old books were, from long use and abuse, unfitted for use, but yet the little one with the old took was made the recipient of a new one In exchange. The writer of the "slanders" was either actuated by malice in opposition to our school system, or is entirely ignorant or Its working or he would not make groats charges void of truth. There are those of our citizens, . some of them well supplied with this world's goods, who are opposed to paying any tams, and as they cannot escape en tirely, are making every effort no matter how dishonorable the moans used, to have the taxes reduced. Tne public hools, to such narrow monis, are seem. i l egp i tl o e f 2' themby benefit; uhtrdnhgeirbtaaffe'ruYant°. dem on those who aro honestly disCharg. log the duties devolving upon them, and making every effort to bring our schools up, to the standard that every friend of education desires to see them. After some further discussion the mac. lotion was postponed until next meeting. Mr. Harrison submitted the following: Wastages, It being charged by certatis newspapers that 0. H. Anderson, a member of this Board, said he ..thanked the Committee on Finance for deciding against putting out the school funds at Interest." It Is but justice to that member to Say that the language attributed to him Is incorrectly reported. That he did say he "felt like thanking the Finince Corn. mitts* for Interfering to prevents viola tion of the law," and mbar that the re, solution allowing the e of the Board Wi being in favor of p thin out morphia mOney9 at Interest, - Was offered by Mr. Anderson and passed unanimously. The resolution was adopted and passed unanimously. , Mr. Craig, from the committee ap pointed to have a law passed authorizing the Board to loan money, reported that said law had passed andoniy awaited the Governor's signature. Be thought the law was defective in many respects. RepOrt received. On motion adjourned. .

Mr. Comley, ' Chairman of the Ordi nano° Committee, now presented a num ber of papers from thit Committee, an moved that the act In relation to street improvements be first considered. Car dad.. The City Solicitor then stated the only change in the act from the old-one was that portion In relation to the opening of streets. This part of the act was read by the President. It provides for a proper notice of the intention to open any thor oughfare, the appointment of a commis sion of . three to appraise benefits and assess damages, the giving notice of the assessments for the improvements, the , regular collection of the same, and the filing of a lien If not paid within sixty days thereafter. said lien not to be made void by any mistake in the name of the property holders, dm., do. Alter reading about a dozen pagen some of the members exhibited eviden- Ces of somnolency, when Mr. Pattersonsuggested that it was not necessary to continue Curtner. That it appeared no material changes had been made. He wished but one change, and moved that the time of filing the lien be fixed at nine months Instead of ale. Mr. Hall opposed this change. He thought six months 'nutrient for tne city. especially as they had everything else on their aide. The motion was lost. The Solicitor further explained that by the new provisions of the act a street could be opened in • much shorter time. Under the old act generally, a year and a half was occupied In the business, and much longer If there was the least oppo sition. By the new act, parties could only refer to court the matter of allettels manta and damages. All the other de tails were left to o:media for final action. Mr. Hall said from his understanding of the section that many bills of damages might be saddled upon the city. Coun cils ordered a change of grade and tne work was done; after that they looked around for the property damaged and benefitted, but perhaps wouid find that the cost was largely in excess of the benefits. Ile thought if parties were In hired by a change of grade they should be paid, but Councils should not have the wore done until they knew how much it would coat. Remarks were made upon the section by Messrs. Patterson, Hanna, fdegraw, and others, when the act; as read, was finally approved. run NEW CliAlftTEß. The next business was a consideration of the city charter, in which there are DO material changes, except in relation to time of holding the annual elections, changing It lltont October to the wend Tuesday of December; also providing for voting by three tickets—ono Oily. containing the names of all the candi dates for city officers, one COURCii with the names of all the candidates for Coun cil, and one Ward, with the names of the candidates for ward officers, and requir log the Treasurer to furnish each elec tion board with a list of parties who bays not paid nixie; providing that each , branch of Councils be allowed to decide ' upon the eligibility of its own members; changing the term of the Mayorality from two to three years, and rendering him ineligible to election for two terms sticcesalvely. • Mr. Lens offered au amendment to this section. requiring the Mayor to give bonds, such as Councils might require.. Mr. Hanna opposed" tbla amendment. He did mot know where Councils re calved authority to make a _Mayor elected by the people give bonds. Tho President read a section from the Pittsburgh City Code, which required the - Mayor of that corporation to give bonds In the sum of fle,ooo. The amendment was carried, and the first chapter of the new shatter as read then adopted.. ••• President Warner, ofto O read theM common Council, then proceeded ate nod charger when Mr. Hall objected to pacing anything without further consideration. lie thought tLereport should be printed , and presented in nutria a form that the I metubere could road it for thenteelvee. They could pane the act and then wheat it was returned front the Leglidettire they would be surprised at the law—as was the case with the sewerage act. . 'Mr. McNeil thought the changes made -were not many, and this cost should not be incurred. - Mr. Long said, the Committee had ' thought of having it -pfinted, but ascer tained that no printingedice In the coun ty had enough type to set it up and keep it standing until • they could meet and adopt It. Mr. Hail said then she only way was to receive the action of the Committee and adopt-it as read. He believed it was I all right, but thought it would have been much better If each member could have ' examined theism personally. He moved to adopt the charter W. read. Mr. Slack moved to amend by .00nsid. ' ering the paper serial's. He thought the the Committee had made • prop er report but he felt that It might be much better to have the matter fully considered. Mr. Mcßrier said the charter only conveyed general powers to Muriel* and he thought no harm could come to adopting it. Councils need not make ordinanoes exercising' these powers un less they desired. The amendment wee finally lost and the charter as read approved. Raw TAX LAW. The next business was an act providing for the assessment eel tax of one mill on the average yearly deposits of all banks in the city and two mills on the receipts of each Insurance company or agent of such corporation, the tax to be collected in the regular way. The act was adopted. ELECTION no IVOR DIRECTORS. The third paper wt., an act providing for the election of Directors of the Poor, ono from each ward, • for terms of three years each, two of the members rettrhat , each year, the vacancies bang tided by annual elections—mild Directors, with the chair:nth of the Committee on Poor Farm, to ;Constitute the Board of Poor Directors. . • Mr. Moßrier moved to amend by au thorising the election of els members from the city at largo, by Councils, only one member being. chosen from any ward, the chairman of the Poor Farm Commit tee to be • member ax ofilolo. , ' Mr. Hanna thought seven members eufficlent. After a time new wards would be added to the city ,and then the Board .would become unwieldy. Mr. Megraw layered six directors and the chairman of the Poor Farm, and to be elected by Coupcile, and not more than one from any ward. Mr. Slack thought If one man from each ward was elected the poor of hi. ward would be better attended because they would become' etter known to him and to the Board . ~.. Mr. Megraw thought Councils could choose men of leisure and sympathetic feelleg who would do the work from pure motives. Thie .wari the case Pi other charitable mates. Mr. Patterson sad he agreed perfectly with this idea, but thought each ward rases, el at least one gentleman of that sort, (Laughter.] . . . . Mr. Long thought. the electors of each ward knew that gentleman, and would be likely to elect him. The committee had Manama the batter and thought the plan they recom mended to be the best.. ' 'Ur. Mcßrier said he had 'faith In the people but unfortunately It was too often only a very small,.:minority that ruled iki the matter. , , .

The announcement created mote than usual excitement, from the fact that the two interested puttee de riled all knowledge of the affair. It further seemed singular, in view of the attentions which the young lady was re. calving at the time from another youth ful swain, T. D. Marshall. Nelson, It is stated, appeared at tirat not to relish the Joke, and a reward was offered for the apprehension of the practical Joker who perpetrated it. Marshall, however, it.ls sold, failed to credit the other's statements and was villa free inexpreesing hisopinion that, the tOol author of the mischief, was Nel son himself. As. might have been ex pected • ounploosontnt.." sprung Up between the two,- which resulted in a knock down, the other evening, and an lafornunlon before Justice Fprguiton, for assault and battery, wherein Marshall appears as prosecutor and Nelson de. fondant.
