Last evening, the eve of the day of thefestival of the Epiphany, the children ofCalvary church had their usual celebra-tion, aud the occasion ai mado evenmire attractive than Usual, as the newirgan was used for the first time. The

church was handsomely lighted up forme occasion. Ihe btar of lire blazed iufi.oesht window ai.d th altar wasablazewith burning candles disposed as closei

and the front of the organ-al!er- y

poured down refulgence upon thobody of the church, where the gorgeouschandeliers each streamed with lustrousbrightness. Ah the tiaio for the proceed-

ings approached, Hie people includinga very large nunibtr of ladles enteredho sacrtd faue In multitudes, until

everv seat of every pew had its occupant,.iud ihe aisles had each their crowd oleutlemeu, for whom no teats

could be procured, but who found tbaoccasion too delightful for them to leave.At length a loud, clear roll of chordsfrom the organ echoed from the wallsand rool, aud a huutired voices burstout with that great chorus from theCreation, "The Heavens are Telling."The pealing organ, rolling its Vast baseIu gorgeous choids, and blending withthe delicious darmouy of some of thebeet voices In the city, rendered theohorus In a style rareiy equalled. Itwa lmpresblve, beautiful and finished.Mr. Perrlng's handling of the organ wasline ana ellectlve, aud won for himselfand the nobis itistiumeut before him,unbounded pralee.

dividuals and omit others would scarce-ly be fair.but while all did welleome wereso excellent in voice, style, gesture, andcorrect emphasis that we have to putrestraint upon ourselves to avrld nam-

ing these who received universalattmlration. Sj beautiful was the ren-

dering of her part by ono young lady,that tho audience were so overcome anto burst out with spontaneous applause,Although in so doing they violated therule governing the occasion.

The young miseeand masters of older growth acquittedthemselves well there was no blunder-ing, no failures, all was successful andwell done, and did high credit, not onlyto the yodug people themselves, but tothe loving and conscientious teacheiswho have giveu their t lints to perfectpraise out of the mouth of these dearlittle ones. Iu the course of the even-ing Mrs. Chapeki sung "With VerdueClad" with that spirit and brilliaucythat are her characteristic. Thewhole concluded with the di-

vine Hallelujah chorus. o hearthat, with the graud utterancesof the organ touched by the linger andinspired with the Are of Perring, ws atreat Indeed, oue that those who werepresent will not readily forget. We con-

gratulate Dr. White, the venerable andrevered pastor of Calvary, on the highdegree of success that attended a cele-

bration Iu which we know, he puts hiswhole heart. Many have been theyearsof his nilirrimaife. but Increasing yearsappear xr have struck deeper and deeperIfle tiiuuiiiiift im, lie luaninMiM fr irrxrlambs of bin fl.ick.

TUB NEW ORGAN,

The new oriran, for which the parishoners of Calvary church have labored sozealously the past three years, Is at lastin iU place, aud, we mut say, fits tothat place admirably, as well iu regardto proportion as f fleet. It is one ofErhsu & Ca 's best, complete in everyroe-t- , combining all that of old enrnedfor Ihe organ the title of the King ofInstruments, with ad that of late yearshas been Invented that couldsecure added power, voiumeaud eflectiveuepfl. To the uninitiated this instrument looks like au addltloual ornameut to the old church, recently so handfcomelv repaired aud rentted. Tne iniriv-oii- e niuinuiHieupipes, Inclosed iu a casing painted inblack walnut hv Davis, of this city, harmonize so well wnn tne prevailingcolors that the rlrst thought in regard tothe beautiful instrument Is a sense or itsentire fltne-- s to the surroundings: hutwhen, uoder the manipulation of theartistic Augers of Pernng, Its tonesbreuk upon the ear, there comes a supplemental Impression that whi!ordering its exterior with anartistic view of its harmonies incolor, nothing was left undoneby Perrlug or the vestry to secure on instrument that would All the buildingwith blended sweetness, softness audpowpr and that would satisfy every demand of tne most exacting mtinlcalconnoiseur. The mechanism is simplycomplete, aud, considering the difficulties under which he labored in puttingit together in so short a time, we thinkMr. Xi (J. iiarrison, who representsfc,rtin & uo., deserves commenuatiouand praise. He has ia'wred assiduously.and has in all part'culars anticipatedthe wishes of Mr. Periiog, theoue man, more than all others, tobo consulted. After nearly twohours of trial lest yesterday afternoon, Mr. Perring so expressed himself to us, and that ho was satisUedErbln & Co , the price and class of thelustrum .t cbusldertd, had done theirbest, 1 1 voicing In the whole ranee isuieur, uu lmuiauii even, auu, as tne organibt iilcufceir said, there U u enfpnessabout tho tone that Is not heard in everyorgau. another noticeable feature of itIs tho quick aud well-define- d response instaccatojpaisages.

E. M. Apperson, President People's ProtectiveUnion:In obedience to a resolution of your

body, we presented ourselves to tho comniiitee aonointed under a resolution othe board of education of the Memphiscity schools, to investigate their generalmanagement and other mutters pertaininrr to the schools, and stated tho wi-- 1

W- - Mitchell, of theschool board, received us cordially andwelcomed ourc-operatio- u. these gentlemen had visited several of the schoolsand proceeded to some extent with theirwork ueiore our appointment, anu communicated to us the result of their examiuatlons. We have not, for want oftime, been able to make so minute anexamination as was desirable, buto the extent we did investigatewe And nothing to altar our convictlon that tho sstem itself is radicallyand fundamentally wrong. "Ihe cityschool board is a corporation indepeudent of the people, and fastened uponthem for ninety-nin- e years by a legislature elected when many thousands ofthe people of this Htats wore disfrauchlsed.

Lpaiial arid uMfprmthrouahout the State,auu oe umiicu i uiu buuoiusuu uue?,between eight and eighteen, or eightand twen.y at most, we do not nesltateto recommend the repeal of the cityschool charter and the remission or thcity schooh to tho goveroment of the

j general scnooi law ot me state.We do not indulge iu an indiscrlmi

uate condemnation of the school buardand In advance of the matters of complaint which we shall point out, expressour oeiiei tuat a majority oi tne mem-bers of the present aud former boaidshave endeavored to advance the interests of the with entire honestyof purpose; but there has not been thatwatchfulness and close scrutiny into itsaffairs by the membeis necessary toguard against tne tauus oi

extravagance and favoritism, andreeled extravagance has been there- -suit.

first Going back to the year 1SC0,we flud the board leased a lot on Alabama street at S400 per ytar aud thetaxes, and erected thereon a buildingcosting $12,000. We think the price forthe building exorbitant, nut admittingit to have reasonably cost that sum, nopmdent pereou managing his private affairs would have erected a twelve thousand-doll- house on grouud uuder ttwo-yea- r leawe. In 1803 the lease wasextended to September. 1870, and afterward to September, 1S73, on the sameterms, since which time we And nowritrjten lease, out are lniormeatne ooarn oc-

cupy it from year to year under a verbalagreement,

Second About 1S60 tho exact datewe did not ascertain the board purchasnd a lot on Auction street at a costof $20,000, which remain" unoccupied;and about the same year they purchawnla lot on Adams street at a cot of $12.- -000, paid an architect about $15X0 forplans of a building, the erection ofwhich was commenced, and after theexpenditure of several thoustinJ dollarsabanuoueu. rnis miormauou is derivedfrom the secretary of the board

Third Iu 1866, oi about that date, theboard purchased a lot on Linden streetat a cost of $20 000, upon which theyerected the buildlug now used as a schoolhoute at a cost of about $13,800. Theseprices for the Auction, Adams and Linden street lots, and the Lindeu streethouse appear extravagant in a high degree.

rourth Coming down to a muchlater period we find the board erectingthe Market 6treet building at a cost of$51,602 on a let costing $30 000. makingbuilding and lot cost $81,501!; aud thePeabody building, erected at a coat ofS26.512ona lot costing $3050, makingbuilding and lot cost au.ia; ami tneClay street building, costlug $18 760 ona lot costing S2400, making $21 100 forbuilding and lot. Whether the c ut ofthrss structures the Market street, thePeabody and the Clay ttreet sehoolhous- -

es is too much for the cnaracterofhuildlntr or not. we have not the data todetermine; but that it Is too much forthe present overburdened condition ofour people, none em doubt.

. filth The iticumouu nouo, onAdams street, formerly bslonsriug to thecounty, was occupied by the high-scho-

for a number of veirs until June lstfree of charge. Upon its sale to Mr.Woodruff and others it was onered tothe board for a year at $300. It requiredsome repairs about the roof and In otherrtspects, whloh Mr. Woodruff iuformsni could bo made at a cost not exceed-ing $200. The board, instead of takingthis, rented a noue on .ropiar street atSper annum.

Sixth tor tne uouri-stre- et siuooi-hous- e

the board paid $1500 per annumand tho taxes to July last, and now pay$1000 and the taxes; and for the Third-stree- t

Bchoolhouse they py $300 and thetaxes. These seem to be high rents,cotslderlng the s rluaency of the times

Seventh The board occupy a room inOdd Fellows' hall, under a verbal con-tract we are informed, at a rent of $500This item could be sved entirely by occupying a vacant room in the Market- -

tree: scnooi ouuuiug.Eitthth The boani employed as ecre- -

tory at a salary of $1200, and six principals at a cost of about S8000, aud asuperintendent at $3000 We hlnk mccompetent to discharge well all thedut es of superintendent, principal, andsecretary, without Impsiring the effici-ency of the echoolslcoutd be command-ed for $2500 certainly for $3000; and ifthe present incumbent is not a'lln orwilling, he thould, hb Henry WardBeecher exprtiedit, "tep down andout" and give place to some ore who lcan. We slab fli;d about $800 parmonth paid forjanitots. 1i U we think,

one -half of this. The Baving effected by I

the changes named In Items Heven and-- ight would amount to about $1100. Ifthe schools are to be ktpt up, thesechanges should be made.

Ninth From a statement of a mem-ber of the board and its records, wethink it conclusive the salary of $3000was cut out for the man alter It wasascertained that be could certainly beelected, aud that the form of fixing thesalary before election was gone throughwith. In July, 1873, the committee onsalary lubmltted a majority report, sign-ed by three of tho committee, recom-nendin- g

$2100, that being the salary othe then incumbent and his predeees-ir- .

Colonel Leath, who was admittedto be well fitted for the place. At thewiine time a minority repart, slirned byme memlier, was submitted, proposing

$3000. Eight members vtel for $2100-ev- eo

members voted for $3000. Pickettand Slaughter were then Immediately

.i in nouiiUHtton for fUperiuteuilentThe eight members who voted for $2100.voted for Slaughter; and the elevennumbers who voted for $3000, voted forPickett. We are satisfied sumo of thosevho voted for Pickett, did so believinghim muoh better fitted than hisopponent, and Dr. Mitchell ex-

plains that it was the obstinacy.f tho eight iu refusing to unite with:ertain members ot the majority onColonel Leath or another, that deter-mined the majority to elect Mr. Pickett,out we fail to er how au obstiuateminority of eight could control the ac-

tion of eleven, or prevent the election ofO'jloiiel Lsath at a salary of $2100 hadthe eleven so chosen, and the result cer-

tainly evinces shrewd management oui ho nart of Mr. Picketed ineuds. luJulv. 1874. the board Mr,Pickett for two years at $3000 a yearthus violating all precedent without theslightest necessity, and thus saddlinganon the people lor two more yearssuperintendent at that salary, secured toinni as a necessary legal consequence.The rule before that was to elect for oneyear. Whi e we have nodesiretodetractfrom Mr. Pickett's Just merits, we donot perceive the vaunted superioritywhich his friends have continuouslysounded through the press aud othercjbauuels till the board have orne toaccent it as a fact without question. Itoccurs to us that had he properly gradedand managed tho schools there wouldnot have existed the necessity for theextra teacher at Clay street, nor the formation of a select school of twenty-einht on Wellington street while ampleroom aud instruction were at hand inthe Linden street school. We thinkfurthrmoro, that a proper care on thepart of the superintendent would exelude from the schools a number ofchildren obviously under six, who oughtto he at home with their mothers, audwould effect a cousohddtion of ootnoschools and clus-ies- , especially if thohalf-da-y system wero adopted with theprimary grades, so as to dispensewith some of the teachers,into Mr. Pickett's educational acquirements we wero not authorized, hadwe been competent, to inquire, audtherefore pronounce no opinion. Theschool-boar- d committee invitetl, audcharges of incompetency were preferredagainst him, and there being some dif-ference of opinion as to his competencyamong the mom tiers oi that committeethey, without a lormai investigation, referred the question aud the charges totho school board without expression ofopinion.

Touth we una m the Washingtonstreet school a teacher who has beenemployed there since the opening inSeptember without being reported to theboard, as we are iniormed by the secre-tary. In this Mr. Pickett has violatedthe thirty-fourt- h rule, which requiresbun to report all appointments to thenext meeting of the board for coufirmation or rejection.

Eleventh Iu the Clay street schoolwhere Principal Barnum and eightteachers are regularly employed, auother teacher (Mr. Wood) wss addedand placed in charge of a small class ofthirteen, never exceeding tweutv, according to his testimony, in room No,8. About the fourth or fifth of Decernber comment was mado iu the Ledgerou mo employment oi two teachtra inthis room, having less than fifty pupils

one in cnarge or a oiass or niue or tenOn the eighth of December pupilsenough were drawn from other roomsand put la this room to swell the humbr to ninety or more, constituting fiveuill'rent classes or grades, aud theteacher (Mrs. Thompson) instructed toregister these pupils as if they appeared

uoue, juige nerce anu weuerai Binnutwo oi the hoard, invited on the fourteenth of December several well-know- n

gentlemen to visit the school, with theview of eliciting from them a report,and upon inspecting the register of roomNo. , attention was directed to the nunibtr registered with the remark that theLcdqcr statemeut was erroneous. Thecrowding of ninety pupils of various demces ol advancement into one roomwould necessitate the employment ofanother teacher, and furnish the excu-s-

desired. Principal Brnum attemptedto explain these false entries on the register by saying he did it iu that way tosimplify the reports of the teacheis, butthe elrect is to confuse them; and it issomewhat remarkable that it shouldhave been doiie just after the Ledgerc imment. it is the duly oi Mr. I'lCiettto know of all changes of classes fromone school to another, and to know thatthey are properly graded, lu tho Clavstreet school the grading seems sadly defective. It is unprecedented to makesuch transfers of mixed classes to higherrooms on the eve ot an examination forthe term, the effect of which must be t )injure the teacher, and we are fortvd tothe couciUniou tnui it was done to meetthe criticism and comment referred to.

Twelfth We fiad from the examination of the ruled that the chief lab jr isimposed upou the teachers, who are paidonly for the time actually made bythem, and are docked for every fractionof a day lost, while the superintendent.win se labors are comparatively light, isPAid for the entire year threo monthsof Idle time without reduction.

Thirteenth The school toard comraittee had prepared some statistics,showing the relative cost of publicschools iu ditiereut cities, drawl in: thecontrast in favor of Memphis. We argued with the committee that such testswere utterly fallacious. When we setabout retrenchment iu our household Volo not aak what our nelghb r spends,

but what expenses we can curtail: nothow tnucn la wasted in extravagant follyor corruption iu Cluciunati or New York,but what is done in mai line in Meiu- -phia; aud we oflcred that committee, byway or prooi or tne cost oi scuooia honestly and economically administered,the contrast between the Catholic paro-chial and the public schools In Brooklyn. Rochester and Cincinnati wherethe attendance iu each school was aboutequal the public schools costing thirty- -six dollars on an average per pupil.while the Catholic schools cost for thesame time about six dollars aud a half,the embolic schools comparing favorably with the public lu eveiy respect.We cannot niame tne uatnonrs lor rebelling against what seems little lessthan robbery.

Fourteenth lu conclusion, we directattention to the very lax and imperfectsystem of accounts kept of the affairs ofthe hoard, anu to tue payment some-times of raouey without proper receiptsaud vouchers, and the signing of checksIn blank by President Kortrecht. The

jinmittee of the board took notice ofthese matters. We mention the'm withno view of imputiug intentional wrongto those engaged, but great evil mluhtresult in the hands of the unscrupulous,and they suouid o? promptly corrected,

Mr. W. L. Vance, ihe other memberf tho committee, being absent when

this report was written, his name dotsnot appear.

FROM THE COLORED PEOPLE.Whereas, At a muss-meetin- g of tho

patrons of the colored public schools ofMemp'ih, a com Jilttee was appointedto investigate the management of thesaid schools and present rosoln ions tothte inee ing with reference to their

uding iu the premises; therefore, yourcommittee would respectfully submitthe following' to-wi- t:

We liud the principal's duty, as laidown la the rules and regulation of the

Memphis city schools, page flftv-flv- e ofthe twenty-thi- rd annual report of theboard of education, among other thingsto be the fellowing, viz: "To classify thepupils lu the different grade accoidiugto their advancement in arithmetic 1

!

etc." This your principal, J. H Br--1num, has failed or refined to do. Wefurther find that J. H. Barnum, prkcl- -pal of the culorel schools, is guilty ofcruel and inhuman treatment to pu- -

IU of clandestiuely tcoklnir the ols- -parase incut or our teacheis, andeouulvh - g- at the wbima ot hJs pets, and,61161.

room eighth without reference to theiradvancement, and before they hadpassed through room seventh, and this,rve believe, from a well laid scheme toharass, humiliate and cripple the saidteacher in her effort to bring her pupilsup to the standard required; and wefurther believe, from a well developedschemo to rid the school of coloredteachers, and thus make room for hisfriends and pets; of making ruledwhich, reason of their

becomes obsolete and void, thusevincing destitution of firmness, thenecessary requisite of a principal. Onthe whole, your committee dnd J. H.Barnum, principal of the colored publicschools, from prejudice, malice, ina-bility and incompetency, wholly unfitfor the position of principal of our pub-lic schools, and your committee wouldrecommend as the sense of this meet-ing tne following resolutions:

Jieo!ved, That lu view of the findingof the committee, and of many otherfacts known to us all, we, the patrons ofthe colored public schools of Memphis,declare J. H principal of saidschools, unfit for the high position benow holds

Jiesolved, That In view of tho dissat-isfaction ou the part of the people, andthe fact that tho position held by J. H.Barnum is a sinecure, we thin a the beatinterest of the schools and of the com-munity, demands the immediate re-

moval of the said principal; therefore,rve earnestly but ' respectfully ask theboard of education that J. H. Barnumbe forthwith removed from any positioniu the colored public schools.

Hesolvcd, That we earnestly petitionthe board of education that hereafterween a vacaucy occurs In our coloredpublic schools, our colored teachers havethe refusal, as in duty bound we willever pray.

I therefore withdraw my name, and ask thatall of my friends support and work forwhat is known aa the Bobbins ticket atthe election on Thursday. Respectfully,

MARTIN BILGEK.
