New Orleans, March G.—There has
been quite a fight between the militia
and the police. There were five minutes
sharp musketry when the police unlim-
kored the cannon and fired three shots
down Chartres street. The militia re
treated, but were being strongly rein
forced when the staff officer of General
Emory appeared on the scene, 11 whom
the commander of the militia surren
dered.
Gen. Emory acted, and tbe militia
General, Waggamar, surrendered in obe
dience to the following:
“WasaiNTON, March 5.—IP. II. Em

New Orleans, March 6.—It is under

ing ordered the demonstration against
the police.

New Orleans, March 6.—The follow

New York, March G.—General Fre
mont, who is at present in this citv, has
prepared a written defense in the matter
of the proceedings in Paris concerning
the El Paso bond sales, and denies all
guilty knowledge of fraudulent practices.
The criminal action in France is against
Fremont, and Messrs. Berlau, Probst,
Paradise, Lissignal and Poppinel, and
the accusation rests upon forgery by
Probst and others, of a certificate of the
New York Stock Exchange, whereby the
bonds of tne El Paso Company were ad
mitted to tho Paris Bonrse. It is prob
able that proceedings may be commenced
against Fremont in this country.
Newbcbg, March G.—The thermometer

New York, March 6.—The bark C. S.
Rogers, for Havana, was foundered. The
crew was saved.
Washington, March 6.—Tne confer
ence report on the Post-office appropria
tion bill retained the clause inserted by
the Senate excluding absolutely from the
mails all free matter after the 30th of
June. 1873. This, of course, cuts off all
free newspaper exchanges and all free
mail delivery of country newspapers.
Washington, March 6.—Senate.—Mr.
Spencer, of Alabama, advanced with the
intention of taking tho oath. Mr. Bay
ard objected to Mr. Spencer being sworn
in. He said that it was known t bat tnere
were doubts as to tbe legality of the elec
tion under which the credentials of Mr.
Spencer came to the Senate. The cre
dentials of another gentleman claiming
to be elected Senator from Alabama,
Mr. Sykes, were on the table, and he
objected to Mr. Spencer being sworn in
until his credentials were passed upon by
a committee of this body,
Mr. Howlin said that the custom was
to swear in a Senator whose credentials
were in regular form, and then if there
were any questions as to the legality o!
bis eleotion, they could be decided upon
without prejudice to any one. This had
been the precedent.
Mr. Bayard moved that the credentials
of Mr. Sykes and of Mr. Spencer be la id
on the table, and the question of Mr.
Spencer’s admission be postponed nntil
to-morrow, or to some proper fntnre day.
Mr. Conklin g said Mr. Sykes was here
solely as a memorialist, whereas the ere
dentials of Mr. Spenoer were in proper
form. He (Mr. G.,) held that Mr.
Bpenoer should now be sworn in, in ac
cordance with the custom and thejprece-
dent, and his credentials could then be
referred to the committee on elections,
without any prejudice whatever to the
contestant.
Mr. Bayard said Mr. Conkling was
mistaken in his assertion that Mr. Sykes
w.is here in the character as a memo
rialist. The credentials of Mr. Sykes
are in regular aud proper form, and for
whose seat there was no contest. He
had not been admitted, but bis creden
tials were sent to the Committee on the
Judiciary and two years ago
Mr. 'Gcldthwaite. of Alabama,
waa objected to. His credentials were
in proper form; there was no contestant
whatever tor his seat, yet we all Enow
how long it was before he was admitted
to his seau Mr. B. then maintained
that the record showed that Mr. Spen
cer’s credentials were not in proper form,
aud it, would be an injustice to the peo
ple of Alabama; and if he was admitted
without scrutiny, tbe discussion on the
snbjeot was oontinned by Mr. Florence
und others. Spencer's oase occupied the
Senate the entire day.

New York, March 6.—Charles Gram,

police have sent ont a general alarm.

The results of eitRer interested or dis
interested observations and comparisons,
go to show that there is not a city in nil
country that can boast of a public ,
dmg with it begiu, and there ie no say
mg where it will end. But if every new
City Council is to sway a control, dic
tated by varying views of expediency, it
will end in the destruction of the fine
School system superior in any respect to system of public instruction so auspiei-
the Committee Investigation, to
whose care Dr. Huston has been referred.
The Presiding Bishop stated that a con-
— tutional committee of three would be
appointed to consider the reports. Dr.
Huston has not yet made bis appearance
at the Conference.
New Orleans, March 6.—Kellogg’s
Metropolitan Polioe, armed as infantry,
having taken possession of Odd Fellows
Hall, where the McEnery Legislature
hove heretofore met, Mr. J. C. Moncure,
Speaker of the House, and other mem
bers, who were in the Hall at the time,
Were taken to Fust Precinct Polioe Sta
tion. About 100 Metropolitans occupy
LaFnyette square. There is considerable
excitement. A large crowd is gathering
about the quare and Odd Fellows Hall
our own, and few of one so good, or con
ducted so economically as ours has been.
We do bat simple justice when we give
credit to the Board of Education of this
city for this most admirable, and to be
treasured system. Nor do we exceed the
jnst merits of the Board, when we ven
ture the assertion that not uithin the
hounds of this State or the United States
could twelve men be found, who would
be better qualified to discharge the trust
that has been consigned them, doing
justice alike to the city and the children,
than the twelve gentlemen composing
the Board of Education of Atlanta.
Yet there ie, it would appear, a dissat
isfaction on the part of one or more ot
the gentlemen composing the present
City Council, at tho administration of
thia Board, or a lack of confidence in it.
We hay it would appear so from the text
of the "ordinance to amend the ordi
nance now in lorceon the subject of pub
lic schools,” but we do not believe there
is in reality any such lack of confidence,
for the report of the Board, showing the
disbursements of the sohool land for the
last year, is in proper shape, and will be
found, by comparison with the expenses
of the expenses of the pnblio schools of
other cities of equal population, to be an
economical report.
But what means this proposed amend
ment? What are the Conncilmen pro
posing it driving at? Do they consider
themselves better capable of managing
the public schools than the Board of
Education? Or are they jealous of the
power or the patronage of the Board? It
the former, we have no hesitancy in say
ing their constituents would, by a large
majority, say unto them, "nay!” If the
latter, their jealousy is infinitessi-
mally petty. The membership of the
Board is altogether a pnblic and patri
otic service. There is no pay whatever
attached to it.
The effect of this ordinance, whether
so intended or not, is a direct insult to,
and an imputation of, the intelligence
and integrity of the gentlemen compos
ing the Board of Education. Do the
gentlemen of the Council presame to say
that this Board, composed as it is of citi
zens who, as a body, are larger property
owners than the Conncilmen, as a body,
are, will squander the public school f and?
Do the gentlemen of the Council pro
pose to lay restrictions upon the admin
istration of tne Board, and cramp their
efforts in building np and maintaining
the pnblio schools? Have not the peo
ple of the city, by a large majority, voted
in favor of the present system, and has
not one universal "well done” from the
people greeted the success of the Board
of Education?
We would like to be informed of the
irregular or dishonest disbursement of
the Board in the past, that calls for the
absurd, roundabout, “ all around the
boose and in at the back door” provis
ions laid down in section 4 of this pro
poeeilamendment, forjthe paymentjof the
public school expenses.
Sxo. 4. The expense of said pnblic schools shell
be paid ss follows: Any person to whom sn amount
f oasiy inaugurated aud now carried cn in
our city.
Gentlemen of the Council, you should
let the Board of Education manage the
schools. Yon can do no better, to say
the least, than they have done and are
doing.

A Word to Our JKerrhants.
As the Spring trade is about opening
it will interest our merchants, wholesale
and retail, to learn that Mr. R. W.
Wright, editor of the Richmond Journal,
now on a trip through the North, tells
how Edward Malley built up one of the 4
largest dry goods trades in New England.
He says: "About eighteen yean ago Mr.
Malley appeared in New Haven, and
opened a small ‘seven by nine’ dry goods
store on the principal street of that city.
At that time the heaviest merchants of
the street scarcely advertised in the local
newspapers to the extent of more than
two squares each, and then in standing
advertisements for the season. Mr. Mal
ley, with a degree of sagacity that no one
else had ever dared to evince, struck ont
boldly in the adverti ing line, engaging
a column in each of the three local dai
lies, with the privilege of changing the
same every week, and making his a ’.ver-
tisemeuts the most readable part of the
newspapers. For this li3 paid each of
the newspapers at the rate of $1,000 to
$2,000 a year.
Tbe old fogy merchants stood aghast at
his hardihood, and everybody predicted
that he would ‘go np’ in less than thirty
days; and he did go np in less than that
time—to the very height of the mercan
tile ladder. His store in a few months ex
panded from a ‘seven by nine’ room into
the occupancy of the whole building in
which it was situated, and in less than a
year he was doing the largest business of
any merchant in the eity. He kept np
liis ‘reckless advertising,’ as it was oalled,
and to-day he has a store, built by him
self, 230 feet deep, 70 feet wide and two
floors—the largest and most successful
mercantile house in all New England,
outside of Boston. He now pays tho
local journals not less than $5,000 a year
for advertising, and yet he frankly con
fesses that he has maie all his money ont
of the newspapers. ”
Atlantic Coast Link.—This line is
rapidly growing into popularity and its
Uu&uiess is treble what it was six
months ago, and increasing daily.
For Baltimore and Philadelphia busi
ness it has many advantages oyer other
lines, and our m erchants would doubtless
serve their interests by observing the fact
that goods shipped by this line leave Bal
timore & Philadelphia every day, Sun
days excepted. In shipping by this line
yon avoid annoyance and delay from
blockade and overcrowded steamers
which usually attend shipments by other
rontes which leave once a week. There
is no insurance required, which is an
item of itself.

getic Western agent, has his headquarters

A Negro Spree.—On Wednesday in a
negro den on Marietta street, one of the
inmates, a female, while in a beastly
state of inebriety, attempted to set fire

fortunately for the surrounding neigh
borhood, was discovered in time to pre

•C 8 : On* oommanity was yesterday
deeply pained to learn of the snddta
death of Mr. John Schley, brother of
Hon. Wm. Schley, Jndge of tbe Superior
Court, and nephew ef the late er-Gorer-
nor Schley of Georgia, which occurred
at his residence on South Broad stitek
abont half-past eleven o’clock in tla
morning. We are informed that
Schley bad exhibited no symptoms cf
failing health recently, and was sittirg
in his room yesterday reading a paw J

loss. Mr. Schley was highly esteemed
by a large circle of acquaintances,
amongst whom his death will be sincerely
regretted.
The Hineeville (Liberty county) Ga
zette, of the 3d instant, says: "About
ten days ago, the body of a man ascer
tained to be that of John Hogan, a citi
zen of this connty, was found in a ditch
on the roadside in Bryan connty. The
Coroner was notified and a jury sum
moned. The body bore traces of vio
lence, and sufficient evidence was brought
to light to justify the jnry in bringing in
a verdict that the deceased came to hie
death by a blow on tbe head with some
sharp instrument, and forcible drowning.
Suspicion pointed to one Walton Hend
ry, a neighbor of Morgan's, who waB
traveling in company with him from Sa
vannah, and had been ueard to utter
some threats. Both parties h«l been
drinking freely, and to thiB tho wr.ole
difficulty may be ascribed. A warrant
was immediately issued tor the arrest of
Hendry, and the officers of the law have
been scouring the country in search of
him, bat withoat success. It is sup
posed that be has left tbe county."
