an that the average time during which they
were open was less than the year previous.—
About half the teachers are inexperienced and
incompetent, but have to be retained because
no better can be obtained to supply their pia.

No CluturY.—lsaac C. Shurlook, who de
liberately shot Philip S. Clawges, in Philade'.
phia fur seducing his wife, has bean found "not
guilty." Insanity was the plea, but the jury
undoubtedly acted upon the idea that the of
fence was prop rip avenged, in the absence of
law for the adequate punishment of such crimes.
The verdict was received with great etisfaction,
by the thousands called together to hear it.
CONGRESS.—The Senate, on Saturday, agreed
to all the amendments of the House to the bill
relating to foreign coins and the coinage of

The Progress of Freedom.
The New York Times states that eight years
ago, when Gov. Seward first took his seat in
the Senate of the United States, there were
but two members of that body who avowed
any kind of sympathy with the political semi
meets he was known to represent. Next win•
ter there will be in that body twenty Senators,
acting openly and steadily with the Republi
can Party. It is not easy to believe, in the
face of such results. that the cause of hostility
to the extension of slavery, has made no pro
gress. In view of this simple fact how much
encouragement there is for the friends of hu•
man right and cause of freedom. They have
only to hold on to their faith following it up
with works, to secure in time, a perfect eman
cipation of the government from the thrall of
the slave power. We may not live to enjoy
the blessing, but the time will surely come
when the perfect rights of freedom will be res•
petted by our National Legislature.
The Contested Election Case.
The examination of witnesses, to determine
who was legally elected District Attorney in
Philadelphia, is still continued front day to day
and is likely to occupy some time before the
matter will be determined. Some rich disci°.
sures have been made, showing how they do
up things in Philadelphia. They do not seem
to have much regard for the purity of the bal
lot-box. The friends of Mr. MANN think that
he will show beyond doubt that be was legally
elected. In meantime Mr. CASSIDY, his com
petitor, continues to act act us District Attor•

The New Tariff Bill.
The tariff bill, modified, as reported by Mr.
Campbell, of Ohio, yesterday week, embraces
the following features: The schedules of 3,
10, and 14 per cent. of the act of 1846, with
few exceptions are absorbed by the free list.—
The 40 per cent. schedule, principally spires,
is also, with the exception of a few items, car
ried to the free list, which reduces the revenue
shout $3,000,000. The 100 per cent. schedules
"spirits," is brought dodPn one•half; sugar,
molasses, lead, salt, wool, and hemp, are put
down at 10 per cent., reducing the revenues
about $7,000,000. Iron, cotton, woolen, and
silk manufactures are retained as now. The
old 20 and 25 per cent, schedules are not lipt.
terially changed. Some items in them , m•e car
