The Murder Case.
Our accounts from AVashington give but feint
outlines of tho proceedings of thecoinmittco appoint
ed to investigate tho caucs which lod to tho cold
blooded murder of Mr. Cillcy, and until their re
port is made to Congress wc may expect but littlo
additional information respecting the horrid trage
dy. It U creditablo to tho American press to sen
tho universal 'expressions of indignation from their
editors, without regard to parly feeling; and to Wiso
and Graven tMhr scats in tho halls of Congress must
bo any thing but pleasant. Their. own consciences
aro haunted with the spectre of assassinated inno
cence, and tho gazing world point to theui in all
their walks as the murderers of the lamented Cillcy.

Treasurer will bq perfectly safe in paying over the dividends in his hands.
Acceptance of tho Common School System, under the present laws, can only lake
place by vote of a majority of such citizens ,6f each non-accepting District, as assemble
on the day of electing Directors, being in most cases the third Friday of March. The
citizens then assembled have two acts to perform; 1st, to elect Directors, which must bo
done whether the system is to be put in operation; or not; and 2d, to decide the question
whether the system shall be accepted or not. This last questioh is only to bo submit
ted in such Districts as previously rejected the system, but not in accepting districts, and
may lie decided in the affirmative by a mere majority of the votes polled. See the 13th
Section of the Common School Law of 1830.
Having thus explained the condition of the State appropriations,lho manner of obtaining
them, ami the modo of accepting the system, the Superintendent would respectfully ad
dress a word of information anil advice to the citizens of such townships, wards and bo
roughs as have not yet received it. In doing tins he has no wish officially to become the
advocate of tho system, but solely promote the interests of those districts, by explaining
their situation in relation to it.
By the first Common School Law (that of April 1st 1831,) if any number Districts in
a County even one accepted the system, they thereby became entitled to the receipt
of tho wiole Stato appropriation intended for all the.districts in the County for that year.
This harsh provision was repealed by tho supplement of April 15, 1835, which enacts
that non-accepting districts should have two years, (which of course counted from the
date of the supplement,) within which time they might accept and save forfeiture of tho
undrawn dividends. 13eforc the passage or tho supplement, however, the forfeituro
contemplated by tho act of 1834, had taken place in several counties, so far as related to
the appropriation of the first school year (1835.)
Thus tho law remained till the passage of tho common school law of June lS, 183d,
tho dcclaratoiy resolution of 27lh May. 1837, "relative to undrawn balances in the
School Fund." By tho joint operation of these acts ths period of forfeiture was further
postponed till the 1st of November 1838, (next November) with this difierence, that the
forfeited dividends be distributed among tho accepting districts of the sanio county,' but
aro to be added to the principal of the general Common School Fund in the Statu Tica-
,sury, tho Interest of which only is annually distributable.
fjiit though tho law roads thus, the legal act of acceptance m'tistbe performed a consid
erable time before tho 1st of November, 18J8. Under the existing law non-accepting
tlistricts can only adopt tho system, by tho voto of the citizens assembled to elect Direc
tors, wliieh in most cases takes place on the third Friday in March. Hence it follows,
that though the completion of the forfeiture does not take place till November, yet, that
tho act of iicceplaneo which can alono prevent it from attaching,' much bp performed for
townships in Maich, and for wards and borough's, at tho time next spring when they
elect their proper officers. Nor, is the operation of this forfeiture confinedto the opera
tion of tho current year, but embraces those of all the years since tho commencement of
tho system. See the 1st rind 13th sections.
Thw being tho wanner and efl'cct of the forfeituro caused by continued rejection, it becomes proper
to stato tho consetHicnces f present adoption.'
Acceptance of tho system next spring will not fallen it on tho district forqycr, but only till ths spring
of 1810, or for two ycurs, at tho end of which timo it may be discontinued by the vote of a majority of
all tho qualified voters of tho district, if tho experiment should note provo HitUCictory, See sec. 13.
Present acce ptanco vill provent tho forfeitwe, not of one, but of tour or five years' etato appropriations,
including that of next school year, amounting in tho .aggregate to about $i to each taxablo in
habitant, or two thousand dollars in a district containing 601) taxablcs, without counting any thing on a
probable increaso of appropriation by tho present Legislature.
Acceptance next spring, and the consequent receipt of tho nbovo accumulated dividends, will only
burthen each Pistiict noxt year, with a Bchool tax equal to 611 cents on each taxable This tat, howev
er, is not to bo paid in that proportion by each taxable, in tho manner of a poll tax, but will bo assessod
on tho property, professions and persons that pay county rates, and on such personal proparty as paid state
tax. Tho school tux on a township having 200 taxablcs, and receiving SS,000 of stato appropriations,
would be somefhing lsss 335.
Hut in reality, acceptance will not add much, if any thing, to tho burthen of taxation, in tho popu
lous counties. It is known that in rfiany districts the tax collected by tbe.Comrniiiionars for tfie educa
tion of poor children, is equal to tho sum which would bo nwssary to entitle thoso districts to th re
ceipt of tho Common school Funds, if they should adopt tho system, Ji'or would it bo necessary,, in most
cabes, Io levy n tax boyond tho lowest amount nocousary in oJelr to s-jcure tho stato aid, liocauoq their ac
cumulated stato appropriation of four or fivo yours, will to suHIciont to build or otherwise provida good
school hoysos, thus leaving tho current year's tax and appropriation wholly pplioablo to instruction, for
which purposoit would bo nearly siltTieient.
If tho system la adpptod noxt sPling, only ons other tar, aftor that of najt yow, must nejwoairiiy bo
paid by tho District boforo they will tuvoun opportunity of disoantinuirijr ch ssiaio l the triennial aloe-
tiro on ths 1st Tuesday of May, 1810. Th py
mont of this tax, equal to 84 J cents for ooch taxa
ble, will nrobnblv entitle ihem.botliln ri-l!avln.l..n
from the poor school tax, to a state appropriation
eriiliil tn fit n-t, ,-,i,l r. ,1,.. l .
So that tho payment of gl 30 for each taxable in
two years, will cnabld those districts to receive $6
for each taxable, from the state, in the same time.
Hence it seems to bo for the interest of tho noxt
accepting districts, to take tho matter seriously into
deliberation, independent of all considerations aris
ing from the merits or demerits of the Common
School System.
Though tho system is yet In its Infancy, it has
produced some decided and salutary changes in th
districts which have adopted it
Tho School Houses arc generally much improved,
being either new, or well repaired, and more equal
ly and conveniently located than formerly
Tho compensation of Teachers is increased fully
ono third, and tho profession Is rapidly and propor
tionately rising in Usefulness and independence.
The number of Children taught in tho Common
Schools, Is at least doublo that of the schools which
preceded them in the same districts.
Tho duration of teaching in each year Is about
the same. .
The kind of instruction is in - all cases as good ;
and in most better than in tho old schools.
Tho cost of tcaclting, notwithstanding tho in
creased compensation of the teachers tho impro
ved, condition of tho house, and tho bcUcr order and
kind of instruction, itis only one half of what it was
before tho system went into operation. Formerly it
was $3 25 on an average over tho state, now it is
St 12 J for each pupil per quarter.
In the old schools some paid for their own edu
cation, and somo wero educated at tho expense of
tho county. This unpleasant distinction is not
found in tho Common Schools. All receive tho
same instruction, paid for out of the same common
slock. There is no room, therefore, for partiality
on Jh'o part of tho teacher towards, particular pupils,
cr cf distinction among tho scholars.
Dut it is not on account of these, its nndeniablo
fruits, that the non-accepting districts aro now ad
dressed. These facts arc alluded to merely to show
that there is no danger to the experiment. The ob
ject of . tho Supcrinlcndant is to lay tho whole mat
ter before thoso districts, that they may act underr
ttapdiugly on the subject, when they make their
final decision next spring.
As a friend, ho would advise all to accept the sys
tem for the next two years, because at the end of
that timo it can bo discontinued if found insuflicicnt
In tho mean timo tho accumulated funds of fivo
years will bo secured and can. bo .applied, to tho per
manent improvement of tho fchool. houses of the
District, and to a fair trial of tho Common School
mode of teaching. At the end of that time,' if. tho
system bo discontinued, each Dibtrict will boin pos
session of good school houtes, and of increased ex
perience in tho subject of instruction, which will bo
amply worth tho small tax paid for them.
If the systcni be accepted by any of the districts
in qucstiqn, the Supcrintcndant would advise that
such citizc ns as have heretofore been opposed to it,
but who arc candid and intelligent men, shall bd
elected directors. Tlicy will havo It in their power
to keep, (jpvrn tho amount of taxation, and to test
the experiment in such a manner as to prevent any
imputation of partiality for tho system. Such men;
