PRICE 25 CENTS A BOX. 1, r I i a 'Mutually. To this en'd t it i«* provided in one of the subdivisions of section 45 supra,- "At the annual election of di­ rectors, the directors shall make a de­ tailed report of their receipts and ex­ penditures to the voters there pres­ ent." And again, ih one of the subdi­ visions of section 50, it is provided, '"Every school established under the provisions of this act. shall be for the instruction in the branches of educa­ tion prescribed in the qualification for teachers, and in such other branches, including vocal music and drawing, as the directors or the voters *>f the dis­ trict, at the annual election or direc­ tors. may prescribe." Under this provision it could not be known, until after the annual election of directors, but that the voters of the district would prescribe that certain branches should be taught beyond those ordinarily tnught in district schools--and there can, obviously, lie no intelligent employment of a teacher until it shall be known what is required to be taught. Ther*» is. doubtless, ,no objection to contracts for the reaching of terms extending for a reasonable time be­ yond the current school vear, when such contracts are entered into in good faitit, and not for the purpose", 'merely, of forcing upon the district an unsatis> factory teacher or defeating the will of the voters at the annual election.-- lint we think the spirit and intent of the law are clearly repuguaht to the idea that one board of directors may, by contracts wholly to be carried out. in the future, divest future boards of directors of the power to select the teachers they shall desire, • for the terms to be commenced after their or­ ganization. Th<" judgment is alllrtued. but they may make, a contract for i the control And management of schools teaching a term extending a reason* -- able time beyond the current school year, when made in good faith and not tor {lie purpose of forcing on the dist­ rict an unsatisfactory teacher. 3 Same--powers of directors--The powets of school directors Are limited" to those expressly granted, or such & result by necessary implication froiiv those grunted. r Writ of Error to the Circnlt Court of Iroquois county; the Hon; N. J. Pilb- bnry. Judge presiding. Messers. Blades, Kay & Evans forth# plaintilt in error. Mr. M. B. Wright and Mr Robert Doyle, for the- defen­ dants in error. Mr.Chief Justice Schofleld deliv^- ed the opinion of the Court. ft: Plaintift in error claims to have been employed by two school directors, on the 10tli day of December, 1875, to teach <:h trit t school for the term of nine uiontV?. commencing on the third day of April, 1S70; that he was ready* and .ottered-to leach the school, but was prevented from so doing by the school directors. On the trial, he ottered !<i evidence an instrument in writing tending to prove, the making of a cori* tract, as claimed by him, but this, o») objection by counsel of defendants in error, was excluded by the Court. He also, in the sume connection, offered to prove that, on the third <lay of Aprti, 187C. when he was on the way to th school house, he was met by two ol th directors and requested to delay coiiij menciug the school for one week, o, account of bad roads, which he agree to,and that before that time arriw he was not ilied by the directors th his services were not needed; and al that afler the agreement to postpone commencement of the school, the di­ rectors requested hint to take less tha, the contract price.jtp tCAvh deuce wa* also excluded liV tlie Court. Judgment was rendered for the de­ fendants in error, and the only, ques­ tion before us. therefore, is, did the Court err in excudiug this evidence? It does not appear from the abstract that plaintift in error proved or offered to prove, that, when the contract was made, or when the school was to have been comtneticcd. he had a certificate of qualifications as a teacher, obtained under the provisions of the statute.-- It is provided by sec. 52, of the school law (Rev. ̂ uit., 1874, p. !M4)Uiat, "No teacher shall be entitled to any por­ tion of the common school or township fund, or other public fund, or be em­ ployed to teach any school under the control of any board of directors of any school district in this State, who sliail not at the time of his 'employment have a certificate of qualification ob­ tained under the provision of this act." * * * Unless, therefore, at the time the al­ leged contract was made, he had such a certificate--one under which he could fiMly perform his part of the con­ tract--that is, one entitling him to teach during the entire term, the con­ tract would be a nullity ; and, by anal- ogly to previous decisions, it would seem clear that, to entitle him to re­ cover, lie should have proved, or offer­ ed to prove, the possession of such certificate.

Waiving this objection, however, we are of the opinion the Court properly excluded the evidence offered of the written contract, because the school di­ rectors have no power to make con­ tracts for the employment of teachers for terms to commence beyond the ex­ piration of the current school j eats. The law pvovideb that the an­ nual election of school directors shall be on the first Saturday of April, when one director shall be elected in each district. (Rev. Stat. 1874, p. 950. §42.) After the election, the board is to be organized by the selection of a presi­ dent and elerk from their number. Id. And it is the duty of this board "to es­ tablish and keep in operation," for at least five months in each year, and lon­ ger if practicable, a sufficient number of free schools for the proper accommo­ dation of all children in the district over tlfe age ot six and under twenty- one years. * * * Ibid.. §43. "They shall appoint all teachers, fix the amount of their salaries, ctc.," * * * Ibid. "They shall have power to assign pupils to the several schools." Ibid. "For the purpose of establishing and supporting free schools, for not less .than Ave nor more than nine months in each year, and defraying all the ex­ penses of the same of everv descrip­ tion, * * . "* the d"irectors of each district shall be autorized to levy a tax Yiintially upon all the taxable property of the district--not to exceed two per cent, for educational, and three per cent, for building purposes, to be ascertained by the last assess- inent'for the State and County taxes.*' * • * Ibid.. §43. lc is here seen, power is given alone with reference to the current year.-- The schools to be provided, the teach­ ers employed, the taxes levied, etc., are, as clearly as language can express the idea, for the current year. No very Important points concerning the employment of teachers: The first is iu effect that all contracts with teachers for (terms of school to be­ gin after the annual election in April, should not he made prior to that elec­ tion. Of course it must not be Infer­ red that a board of education cannot make contracts with their teachers at any time subsequent to the annual election for the usual school year, even though it extend beyond the first of April; nor that aboard of directors cannot make a contract for the custom­ ary term of school, beginning in the fall and often continuing till the next summer. ' * The second point Is of perhaps equal interest, particularly to teachers: The school law provides that the teaeher must have ft legal certificate wjijfn he makes his contract with the directors; and when the directors cer­ tify the teacher's schedules, they must state that he has such a certificate,-- J This decision, however, declares that unless the teasher at the time of mak­ ing his contract ha* a certificate enti­ tling him to teach for the entire term of the contract, the contract is a nul­ lity. I am aware that the usage which has prevailed with regard to these matters has, in many places, not been in accor­ dance with the law as set forth in this decision. But now that the law has been clearly stated- by the Supreme Qourt, nil interested will do Well to govern themselves accordingly. JAMES P. SLADK Superintendent of Public Instruction. A Wlfe'a Secret. • Ridgewood (N. Y.) women died the other day, and her husband, know­ ing that she had kept ah account in a savings bank in this city, called at the bank to draw out the deposit, which he supposed amounted to about §10. To his surprise he learned that it reached $1,200. To his greater surprise he was informed that he could not draw it, as the money was deposited in the name of his w ife's sister. But the greatest surprise of all was when It was added that the money was held by his sister- in-law in trust forP his deceased wife's son! It appeared that she had an ille­ gitimate son iuGemany before coming 'to America, and in sixteen years of married life her husband never heard a whisper of his wife's strange secret. During the whole of that time she had been carefully saving for liter son out of the money allowed her bv her hus­ band for household expenses.

The pnblic Is being served up with a filthy scandal by the trial of Widow Mary S. Oliver against Hon. Simon Cameron, the oet*gen«rian and great politician of Pennsylvania, so Ex- U. S. Senator; Cabinet Minister, «fcc. The case is being tried in Washington. Gen. B. F. Buttler is Cameron's leading attorney. Widow Oliver lays her dam­ ages at the modest sum of $50,000. Her counsel are to have for their compensa­ tion oue-third of the amount recovered No cure, no pay. Wido*v Oliver alleges that on the 7th of Dec. 1875, grandpa Cameron agreed to take her for better or for worse in marriage and that he refuses to marry her now, She further­ more testifies to a slate of things, if true, which makes a libertine of Cam­ eron .and an eminently bail woman of herself. She has been a boarder of ex- door keeper of the House of Represen­ tatives, Fitzhugh, thatlippy statesman who wrote home that he was "a bigger man than old Grant." She is between 40 and 50, shs don't know exactly how old, is a dashing and wary widow, aud from her own testimony has led an almost unvarying bad life. , She and Cameron, she makes out, got along all right until ore Annie Davis, whom she makes out to be a street walker of Philadelphia, stepped in and captured the old man and gained Ills undivided affection and attention by giving liim toak-etraw tea to drink. Various let­ ters, from Oilver to Cameron anrl vice-versa, have been produced in court but the widow alleges that the letter which contains Cameron's offer of marriage and her acceptance is In the hands of Simon. But among those she produces in court ib one purporting to be from him which says ,kyou shall be my wife" or words to that effect. The testimony for the prosecutiou consisted mostly iu thU woman's own testimony and no wore Jilthy mess has been brought to the public gaze since the trial of Daniel E. Sickles. The defense put| in a ge.ieral denial, proclaims the letters torgies and the whole thing a conspiracy and high handed black mail. Senator Cameron was present Incourton the opening day of the trial and has since been absent. The tidal is still going on. ••CABMtV lU.Or AU( HUfcMK-®' Chicago enterprise Is proverbial the world over. She never does anything on a small scale. Her grand system of railroads; her iKaguificient net-work of drives, boulevards aud parks: her lake and river tunnels; her elevators, pack­ ing-houses aud great wholesale estab­ lishment; berclitu^jies and her schools; her public buildings and her press,each and all fully and amply attest her spirit and her glory. Not satisfied with all these, she now sets out to startle the country with a grand Carni­ val, that shall rival everything oriental iu splendor and mfguificence. This gorgeous pageant of beauty and in­ struction is to open at the Exposition building, April 15th, at 8 p. M., and will continue f«£ two weeks, including matinees each Wednesday and Satur. day. Over one thousand of the best society ladies in the city will be array­ ed in the most costly aud brilliant cos­ tumes, while.jseveral hundred gentle­ men aud as many childron will also take part in the representation of noted scenes and characters from twenty-five of the leading authors of the world. Some of the large cities east have brought out this splendid entertain­ ment, aud the press for weeks teemed with enthusiastic reports of the de­ lighted multitudes who thronged to wituess it, yet none of them attempt­ ed to produce it on anything like the scale of liberality, completeness and grandeur that is to work its production by the ladies of Chicago. The leading railroads will reduce rates, to parties of ten and upwards, to one and a fifth fare for the rouud trip All of the leading hotels will make liberal reductions also.

Secretary, General Garfield tells the story of the situation in Congress in a plain, vigorous style. He says: "The demand which the Democrats make is this: -If you don't let us take away every barrier against fraud in'the next Pres* idential election, in short, if you don't allow free fraud iu the choice of President and members of Congress, we will stop the government! We will control or stop it!'--That i« the issue in a nutshell. It all turns on New York city. Without an election law, a majority for 'Reform' can be rollcfedipto any size there; with an election law a comparatively honest vote means a Republican victory in New York State and a Republican President."

March, iith, lSIflt The President's rumored submission - to the jug-handled compromise of the S Supervisor law, and the Cameron-- f Oliver breach of promise suit, oeeupy public attention to the almost entire ^ seclusion of everything else. A few | days since Springer, of Illinois, crea* J ted some surprise among politicians by a declaration In caucus that he fa- 'i vored the retention of the superior law with some modifications. Until i the nature of those "modifications" ; leaked out. Democrats were troubled at | the possibilities opened up by the de- | fection of so orthodox a partisan aa Springer. .Republicans who didn't stop to refltect were encouraged with I the hope that Springer's conversion was but the preclude to a most plenti­ ful shower Ih the same direction, and the great outside party of non-par­ tisans was glad to regard Springer's change of front (under the circumstan­ ces, hardly less a conversion than that of Saul of Tarsus) as the avant courier of the long promised but' slow-coming political millennium. But we are : wiser to-day than yesterday, and since we have learned what the modifications | are th^t would make Mr. Springer sat- ; Isfied with the retention of the super­ visor law on the statue books, all the | above views have been revised and the devotion of the Illinois gentlemau te his party is as unquestioned'as• before he startled the caucus with his hereti­ cal declaration. On the part of Re­ publicans generally, it Is now claimed that Springer's was a cut-and-drled ^ role and that his' statement' was put f out as a feeler, and by a portion of the ¥ party is intimated that It was in a©; cord with the compromise plau which had been negotiated between the Pres­ ident on the one handand the Demo­ cratic leaders on the other whereby the former agrees to a policy of non- resistance to the programme of the latter. The consideration Is the re- , tention of a modified supervisor law, i which about every one agrees can be of no practical effect and will leave Democrats in possession of every foot I of the contested field. Xhere has been no such excitement sucl} the early days of the "conciliation policy." The sit- . ; uatlon was hotly discussed all day yes­ terday aud tHe tirordii"'tftrtlti**"' treachery to his party were often heard applied to the White House oo- pant. The Republican leaders still af- fe;!t to regard with incredulity the boasts of their opponents that the . President is irretrievably committed 1 to the Compromise. But it is plain that their denials are made with forced spirits and that the doubts en- ,1 tertained by only a few up to Satur* day, of the President's adherence to * the plan of his party leaders, are be­ ing rapidly disseminated. A very ug- ly feeling Is growing against liim and | if the rumors of a bargain shall be ver­ ified. a storm of indignation will sweep over him thaft will test to their uttermost his staying qualities. " The failure of the joint meoting of the House and Seuato Democratic com­ mittees to agree iu recommending that legislation be confined to the two appropriation bills aud the political amendments that were attached to the^i in the last Congress, is ^generally regarded as indicating that the extra session is likely to lauuch us lutff general legislation. , Senator Harris, of T e n n e s s e e ^ 1 ; duced a bill on Friday appropriating $200,000 to give practical effect to the Gamgee method of fighting yellow f^ver and other contigious aud in­ fectious diseases by freezing the germs in their hiding places. Little f opposition is apprehended Southern members whose votes defeated the national quarantine bill at tlje last session, have been so severely censured, that uot even State rigiits will likely induce them to again' fly In the face of their constituents by voting against | the appropriation. And there is » general feeling that we should avail ourselves of the most certain means to avoid a fresh iuvaslou of yellow fever.
