Fir>” District Potice —We have tedly called tae attention of the police all over the city t» the dangerous re of throwing stones in the pubiic streets, by minors and gangs of disor- derly juveniles This intolerable street nuisance has increased of late to an alarming extent, and it must be pot down by the police, as it is, indeed, demanded by public opinion and a due for the public sifety. Weare glad to observe that Prompt action was lately taken in a case of this kind, which occurred on Sunday, the 22d ultimo. when two 0 ng squads of juveniles from the Second and Third Wards bad a stone battle near the corner of D and E streets. Officer King being near, at once interfered, end obtaining the names of several, they were tried before Justice Thomp- son, who, on the admission of some and satisfac- factory proof aguinst others, fined seven of the party. and discharged them after a suitable admo- nition parents of three of the offenders were present drring the tr al, and expressed sincere re- gtetat the misconduct of their sons, and a deter- mination to punish the boys severely at home. It is to be hoped that, with such desirable coo pera- i evil will be corrected, if not entirely absted. Yesterday morning. a fight having taken place between Wm. Appleby and John Fawcett, at the corner of Eleventh and B streets, the parties were taken before the sime magistrate, and required to give security in $150 each to keep the peace six months Officer King served the warrants. Tevstees of Tue Prstic ScHodrs.—The reg- niar monthly meeting of the Board of Trustees of the public schools. was held yesterday after- noon at the Aldermen’s chamber, City Hall, Col. Randolph in thé chair. Applications for situations as teachers were re- ceived from Miss Augusta Wilson, Miss Miles, and others, and were duly referred to the exam- iaations committee. The usual meuthly reports of the teachers were received. read, and duly filed. The Treasurer presented copies of the report of the Baltimore public schools. The question of permitting the use of the Pourth District school-house to a religious society for re- Ligious services, was brought up, and after much discussion the Board refused to grant the required permission. The Board then considered the subject of en- graving a plate for the new public school diploma, and Me ‘Bugal, of Georgetown, was authorized be same atacost of $100; also, was wfficient number of printed copies of the same. The Board then adjourned. ARRANGEMENTS FoR THE RECEPTION oF THE Jar. sx Emsassy.—The United States naval commission charged with the care of the expected Japanese Empessy by the President, have engaged for thetr occupancy, while sojourning in the Fed- eral Metropolis, 2 suite of abont sixty rooms at Willards’ Hotel, (second stery.) fronting on Foar- teenth street, embracing the two corner private parlors fronting on Pennsylvania avenue. The Messrs Willard are now busily engaged in fitting them up for their reception, their mode of living being in many respects essentially different from that of American or European travelers. ‘The enterprising proprietors of Willards’, famed as they justly are for keeping one of the finest hotels ow this side of the Atlantic, will doubtless enter- tain this immense embassy fn a manner as satis- faetory te the Government as to its members. EAKE anv Guto CANAL.—A Fred- says :—* Contrary to the very an- thoritative ansouncements last week that but little damage was done at dam No.4 by the recent freslet, we are now compelled to announce just the reverse. In addition to the destruction of the guard-bank, we are sorry to state that about one Bundred feet of the erfbbing in the centre of the river at dan: No.4 have been washed out to the bottom of the river. The length of time that wil! be required to repair the breach we shall not un- dertake to guess at. We believe this is the third time thatthe guard-bank it No 4 has been de- stroyed within the lest two years. They cost in and abont 310.00 each. The new stone was not injured by the late freshet.”” Hevien’s Sornegs Fantastigues —We under- stand that every arrangement is now perfected at the Theatre for the commencement of these enter- tainments, which we have reason to believe will be very acceptable to the Washington public. The sscond sight phenomena will of itself be a source of marvel toall who witness it, and will cause many of the beholders hours of serious tuought an ulation as to the cause which pro- duces such rtling effects. One of the miost fashionable audiences ever seen at the Theatre is expected to welcome Mr. Heller's return to a pro- fessiou in which he probably has no superior, if equal.

Larer CHaRLEston, May 1, 1860 —The New York delegation has changed its front, and going for the Tennessee ition and thuscarrying it,bave made the platforra sstisfactory to the South. One ballot for President has beea bad, and Douglas received 145 votes. His appeal for conciliation and =a ‘was most impressive. He declared that he in- tended to remain until the last feather was ed on the camel's back, and then he would the foremost in retiring. * Mr. Flourney, of Ark., said his advice was never to give up the ship—to callup the crew CHARLESTON, May 1.—The seceding delega and face the storm. He bad been reared among | tions, except those positivel instractel, cheer- the institutions of the South. He beileved slavery | fully to accept the ‘Tepnesnee to be a benefit both to the master and the slave All he had in the world was the product of slave labor, and therefore be trusted be was above sus- picion. He believed that bis southern friends bad acted wrong in this matter—that the South cannot be united on the ground they have taken, and that they will not be sustained by their con- stituents. Mr. Montgomery, of Pa., was opposed to these Speeches on either side. If there were any more delegations prepared to leave, let them go. They have all made up their minds, and we have made up cur minds—we wish to proceed to business. Mr. Boulden, of Ga., was among those who had refused to retire, and Le desired to give his reason. He was a southern States-rights man, and an Afri- can slave trade man. He believed very to be morally, socially, and politically right, and that slavery was an institution of -civilization—still he believed the doctrine of protection of slavery in the Territories a mere abstraction, in which he was not prepared to disintregate the democratic party. itis no trouble fora man to be a saiut in heaven, but when I lock to the northern demo- crats and see them standing upto breast the storm of fanaticism, I love them, and will stand by them until the last ae of the week late in the night. He was not willing to cast them into the arms of the black republicans. The African siave trader is the trac philanthre- pist. He brings the heathen here to civilize him, and sends him down the stream of time The slave trade of Virginia, authorizes the sale of and the separation of the busband and wife; the chris- tian man rolls up his eyes with boly horror at the man who brings the heathen here, to enjoy the blessings of civilization. Mr. Reed, of Indiana, said, “here isone who is with yon on that subject.”? Capt. Rynders, said, -‘you wfll soon have more recruits from the New York Black Republicans * Mr. Boulden said he remained here because he had great faith in the northern Democ racy. He intended to hold on tothe Democratic party of the North until the last horn blows. He cautioned the seceders that if they succeeded by their action in breaking up the Democratic rty they will weaken the bonds of the Union. ke was no dis- unionist. He loved the Union, and intended to stand by it to the end Most of the seceding delegates were on the floor, and Mr. Boulden lashed them with great Severity. Mr Recook, of Ohio, offered a resolution fixing 2 o'clock to-day for the balloting for candidates for President and Vice President Mr. Ratferty, of New Jersey, presented a protest signed by @ part of the deigation of that State, against the action of this Convention in annulling the instructions of the delegates from that State to vote as a unit ‘The President decided that the votes cannot be taken so long as the several States ere absent con- sulting. The motion to fix an bour for proceeding to ballot must therefore lay over Mr. Bridwell, of California, said bis delegation had viewed in sorrow the proceedings of the last two days, and he proceeded toexplain tix jwsition of the Democratic party in California. Mr. Austin Smith denied the authority of the entleman to speak for California. He styled Mr idweil a black sheep, and said the northern democrats were truckling to the black republicans. Mr Gallsher, of Conn., contended the gentle- men had no right to slander the represeutati ves of hb which affirms that Territorial Legislatures bave novonstitutional or lawful power to enact un- Sriendiy legislation towards slavery—and thus Snr repetiaaes the doctrine upon which Senator — bas declared in bis letter that he will alone accept a nomination from the Charleston Convention. His men here are farious against New York for voting 1 accept the Tennessee proposition; proclaiming that its adoption by the Cou.vention virtually drives Lim (Douglas) out of the contest. Sricu Larzr. CuaRtesron, May 1 —Fifty votes are still out of the convention, owing to tecession; but it it hes been voted that 2 votes shall be neces- sary to nominate. Meeting ef Dougias Delegates.

His enemies had taken this course to destroy him, because they saw be would be nominated. He, for one, was not willl to concede that a majority should give up their Preferences to a minority Col. Flournoy said that he intended to address bis southern friends in the Convention in favor of Douglas, and proposed that the men should offer to adopt the Cincinnati form. with a resolution endorsing the Dred cision. He thought this would have the effect of bringing back a large majority of the seceders Mr Payne, of Ohio, said he was unwilling to make the seceders any furtber offers. If de sired to a they should ‘yclen Dee any invitation the supporters of Ju ° ins. He was opposed to the resolutions, because they would be construed one way by the North pee ftv way by the South, and friends of Douglas were determined that there should be no misunderstand) deception this time.
