Scnoors —The annual examina- tine wane continued y afternoon. The rincips! male primarfes in the four school dis- ‘iets were examined by the respective sub-boards. It was a source of great grati to the trus- tees and to the teachers it there wasa better attendance of the parents of the pupfis, especially in the First and ond Districts, than bas heen previously observed. The fact shows that at least @ portion of our citizens who have children in the public schools feel an interest in their welfare in respect to their studies. It must also be a source of great pleasure to the children themselves to see their parents evincing an active interest in their success by their occasional presence In the school- reom uw ‘The first department, male primary, First Dis- trict, Mrs. Rodier, ineipel, iss Robinson, as- sistant, located in Us Chay on Twenti- eth st. west, between H st and avenue, was examined yesterday afternoon. We were glad to see the Interest in this schcol indicated by the Presence of a number of ladies and gentlemen to ‘witness the examination. The prom; of the scholars to obey the directions of the principal was remarked ptt eon ne) os not generally possessed by les we ve oft Smale school. In Pine peinetpal ore 50 schol: mediate supervision of the prince are 56 schol- ars—S5 ponents one absent, sick. The assistant has in her division 60 scholars—ss mt. The ‘es of the children range from 6 to 14 years, and thelr neat and cleanly appearance indicated that they were cared for at home, as well as at school. The examination was to_ the sub-board of the district=Gen. Ri ph, Mr. Stoughton and Dr tronside he em pe —— senior classes Was begun by Mr ne is assoct- ates being necessarily delayed in their arrival, but bad not proceeded far when Dr. Ironside ar- rived, and tching charge of the junior classes the examination of both divisions were conducted at the same time. We were highly gratified with the evidences of progress made in the senior classes in those branches of education which are So essential to make them useful in society. The examiner chose to qnestion them in the most dif- ficult lessons, but they were generally correct, and were highly complimented by him. Great care had been taken to instruct them the branches taught in this the examination several of blic schools eutered the ee them Mr S John Thompson, princi of the first dis- trict school, who continued the examination at the request of the examining trustees; and their praise of the [ad and admiration of the depart- ment thi ut were highly complimentary to the accomplished and amiable principal and as- sistant. It is due to Mrs. Rodier and Miss Rob- inson to say, that the parents of the pupils with whom we conversed gpa great satisfaction after the examination. In some cases the children did not r as \¥ a3 on ordinary ceca- sons, which was wholly attributable to intimida- tion by the presence of so many strange faces. Male Primary, Second District, Mrs. R. M. Bigelow principal, was examined by Messrs. Cole ans Fort, in the presence of quite a number of teachers, parents of the-pupils, and others tnter- ested In the cause of education. The exercises embraced the several branches usually taught. the primary schools—yiz: reading, writing from dictation, (mental and written, including exer- cises on the black bosrd,)ortbrography, geogra phy, and grammar, in all of which the classes Ihoroughly interrogated by the examiners, ‘inced in many instances more than ordi- nar — perticularly in their reading, and in writing from dictation. Some of the boys write exceedingly well and understaad more or less of the rules of punctnation. The result of the ex- amination was credi ale to Mrs. B , who possosses scholastic abilities ot no ordinary character, uni- ted to high administrative talents, which were prominently apparent in the correct and prompt answers given to all questions, and in the praise- worthy deportment of the school during the en- tire afternoon. At intervals the pupils sang finely under the direction of Mr. J. H. Daniel, their music teacher, and {n one instance those present were delighted by # juvenile solo which wassung in a manner that would been creditable in a muea older and more experienced performer. At the close of the examination the pupils were compli- mented on their advancement in their studies during the past year, and incited to tuture unre- anitting efforts to the same end The examination of male primary, Third Dis- trict, taught by Miss Jane C. Moss, was conducted by the sub-board of trustees, assisted by Mr. Ober, of the City Council. The roli of the school num: bers 6U scholars, 56 of whom were present on this occasion. This school ts taught in the capactous and well-ventilated hall ofthe Old Baptist Church on E, near Sixth street east. Though the school- room is very comfortable, the building is ina very di apidated condition, which might be vastly improved at a trifling expense, if attended to im itely; but if something in this way is not done very yee it will be beyond all hope of repairing. A critical examination was bad in ail the branches usually pursued in our pu blic schools commencing with the lower class. The examining trustees were exceedingly well pleased with the result, and frequently took oceasion to express to Miss Moss their great gratification The pupils appear to rangeln age from 5 to 12 years. Miss Moss has every reason to congratu- late herself om the success which nas attended her efforts The result of this examination only adds to the reputation already acquired by Misa Moss (who is one of our oldest and most experienced teachers) as an roperiy in all Ls ‘a During teachers cf the structress of children. At the close of the ex mation short addresses were made by Dr. Bohrer, Dr. Walsh, and Mr McKnew Male Primary School, Fourth District, is held in a capacious room, originally intended for a bali-room in the Island Hall, at the intersection of Virginia avenue and Sixth street, Island. it ac- eommodates 150 boys, and is under the imme- diate charge of Mr. Augustus Edson, assisted by Misses Ecklof and Ree The school ts divid: into three divisions. the first of which, tanght apesteliy by Mr. Edson, was examined b: The ab-board of the district, assisted by Mr- Thompson. The pilsunderwenta very thorough examination, and with but few exceptions gave general satisfaction. The first class was pretty Severely handled by Mr. Thompson, but a large major‘iy of tte boys by their ready answers proved themselves Ponty especially in mental arithmetic, geography and dictation; most of the Dboys in this class aiso exceil+d in their writ At the close, Dr. Willet,on behalf of the See. beard, expressed bis gratification at the ress made, aod congratulated Air. Fdnon -E the boys on the success that had attended his labors : W . expressed his regret that so few of the parents of the children were preseut. Officer Chipley was in attendance, and as he isa terror to evil- doers and peace cameo oere) ber) order prevailed throughout. Among the lady visitors whe graced the occasion with their nce we noti: Adams, Mrs Martin, Miss Emma Reed, and Miss Middk ton,—all accomplished and successfél teachers in the public schools—besides several other good looking ladies that we did not know. The junior department of Primary vo. 1, Fourti: District, Mrs Martin, teacher, was examined on the Nth inst by Dr. Willett, assisted by Alder. man Clark. Sixty scholars are on the roli of this school, and only one was absent from examination. Mrs. Martin bas had charge of this school about two years, and the result of the late examination proves that she has been untiring in her efforts to advance her pupils. The |-room—the ment of Ry!

ASSAULT ON THE Fovnpry Cuvurcn Pic-Nic Party.—We learn that as this party were return- ing from their pic-nic, on Wednesday evening, one of their omnibuses was assailed by a gang of rowdy boys and young mea, at the steamboat landing, with a volley of stones, one of which struck an estimable lady on the head, inflicting a painful wound, which would no doubt have re- sulted fatally if the stone had been a little larger Some of the men in the omnibus gave chase to the miscreants, but did not succeed in arresting any of them. Would it not be a good plan fora few policemen to be present at the embarkation and debarkation of these pic-nic parties? They will se find the time of their taking ;la:e advertised in the Star.

In the first place, there is a | large body of our most respecta! citizens and ogee holders (they claim a majority) who be- lieve that the best interests of our city will he subserved by a union with Washington. On the otber hand, as is well known, there isa party not ‘wanti ne in influence, nor inconsiderable in num- bers, (they claim a majority also,) who can see in nothing but disaster and ruin, and re Tetrocession to Maryland is our only road to political power “and commercial prosper- ity. Beside these, there is a small but select band of conservatives, who adopt as their motto the Latin sentence, * Quicta non movere,”” which Bulwer translates, »» When things are quiet let them be quiet.” These ‘old fogies” as they are disrespectfully called, say that we ought to “ leave well enough alone,” and think it is it to have Georgetown free (‘‘a little republic like Sam Ma- tino,” as one of our city fathers terms it,) than to sink her independence, and become a suburban ward of a growing city or an insignificant county town of a populous State. This being the state of parties, a resolution was originated in the Board of Aldermen abi tj for the ra ne ape of Hon. James Dunlop, an other gentlemen of standing, as a committee to confer with the authorities of Washington as to terms and conditions, and report thereon to this Corporation, after which they are to apply to Congress for the necessary legislation to enable them to take the sense of the people, &c ; a union of the two pyre be Saally a when & majority of the citizens of each have agreed thereto Tuts resolution passed both boards, but now comes the tug of war.

Besides, that miss- ing memorial from the Fourth Ward bas been received and will be read. It is said to contain the names of every voter in that precinct, with four or five exceptions only. Very creat interest is manifested in the result by the friends of the memorial, and we consequently bom ns to see a crowded “lobby” to-night. That all engrossing subject, the timore Convention, sinks into in- siguiticance for the time. We will probably an nounce the result to-morrow.

Craig, as he deemed his resolutions an olive branch, hoped the courtesy would be allowed him of having them read. The President ruled that the first business in order was reports of committees, ‘Tue Masoriry Rerort of THe Commitres. Mr. Crum, of Mo., the chairman of the Com- mittee on Credentials, announced that they were ready to report, and presented a report from the = that committee This report, which is a long decument, was then read It opens by a reference to the adjourn- ment at Charleston and the meeting at Ballimore, and reviews the labors ft on the committee by the disputes of claimants, detailing particulars on the part of several of the States. It closes with 2 resolution providing for the admission of dele- gates as follows: Mr. Chaffee, of Mass.. in place of Mr Hallet, on the ground that the former, having gone as a substitute to Charleston, had an absolute right to the seat. Georgia—Half of each delegation; Mis- sissippi—Old delegation; Lovisians—New dele- gation; Arkansas—Half of each delegation; Tex- id delegation; Delaware—Old delegation; Alabuma—New delegation. (No application was made for admittance on the part of South Carolina or Florida. It is under- Stood that this majority report was adopted in committee by a vote of 16 to 9 Mr. Crum, the chairman of the committee, after the reading of the report, took the fioor in favor of its adoption, urging that it only ided for settling the intricate question before Conven- tion in a spirit of fairness and justice to all, and in accordance with party usage Minonity Rerorts Mr. Stevens, of Oregon, on the part of the mi- nority of the committee on credentials, submitted & report, with resolutions annexed, in favor of the admission of all the oid delegations from the seceding States. Mr. Stevens then took the floor and read a long address, on the partof a minority, setting forth that the success of the Democratic party now de- pended upon the action of the Convention upon the reports submitted. It was for the Convention to decide whether they should continue the Dem- ocratic party as a national party, or whether they would endorse the acts of irregular and illegiti- mate bodies, on personal grounds, in raising the flag of rebellion against the regular State organt- zations of the Democratic party. The address proceeded to show that the only delegates claim- ing seats from the seceding States, under the legitimate action of the party organizations in those States, were those who had held seats at Charleston. In the cases of the seceding States, the Charleston delegates had appealed to thei constituencies, through the regular organized and usual party means, and in every case, save South Carolina, they were triumphantly yindicated and endorsed in leaving the Convention at Charleston, and were recommissioned to the Convention here The report maintains that this Convention bas not the power to receive the resignation of the seceding delegates, even if they bad been submit- ted at Charl n, and that the members who bed retired from their seats in the Convention bad the power to resume them at their will. It sets forth that the old delegations represented the entire de- mocracy of thelr several States, while those claim- ing their seats are bere representing only, in many cases, irresponsible mass meetings, attended bya f-w ambitious disorganizers, and in others sparsely-attended conventions, brought together by the exertions of little factions of hungry office- seckers. (fhe minority report is signed by the members of the committee from Oregon, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virgin North Caro- lina, Tennessee, Kentucky, aud California ; and Mr. Stevens stated that th ember of the com- mittee from New Hampshire also approved of the main features of the report.) Mr. Gittings, of Md., madea report in behalf of himself,asa member of the committee on cre- dentials, with a resolution to adopt Portions of each of the majority and minority reports The reports having been all read to the Con- vention, several gentlemen attempted to obtain recognition by the President, but the Chair ruled that Mr Crum, the chairman of the committee, ‘was entitied to the floor. Mr. Crum then stated that an extended discus- could result in no good, and that, in a rea- Hable time, he should move the previous ques- tion. Delegates from all parts of the ball called on him to move it at once, and let it come to a direct vote, without debate. He, however, declined to do so at present. Mr. Phillips, of Pa, moved that, as the com- mittee agreed in relation toa portion of the States the vote be first taken on that part of the majority report Reveral delegates rose and called him to order causing much confusion, which was succeeded by several other questions of order—a portion of tue members claiming that Mr. Cram was entitled to the floor, and others that it rightly belonged to Mr. Phillipe: The President stated that Mr. Crum had taken his seat in a manner that indicated he bad closed bis remarks, and he thercfore recognised Mr Phillips Mr. Crom mid he did not yield, but only paused to allow a gentleman to whisper in bis ear. (Laughter j . Uhillips, of Pa , after further colloquy, was jared entitied tothe floor. He proceeded to speak upon the reports, but was soon called to order by Mr. Pugh, of Obio, who urged thet he was im- prgning the motives of gentlemen on the com- inittee Mr. Phillips disclaimed an and then stated that he only ffs to sey that, as the committee had agreed to admit the old delegations from a portion of the seceding States, he suggested that it was the right of these delega tons to be admitted at once to participate in the succeeding business of the Conveation. Mr. Butler, of Mass , rose to # privileged ques- tion, and stated that the delegates’ tickets had been forged, and parties were in the hall upon them A delegate moved that they be referred to the Committee on Credentials. (Laughter. Mr. Butler said no. He did not wish any more bogus matters referred to them. He moved that the Sergeant-at-Arms be directed to clear the floor of all persons, except the members and the au- thorized reporters, in order that the Convention might proceed with its business without the in- terference of outsiders and the danger thereof. Several motions were made, including one to adjourn r Goggin, of Ga., said he was tired of this mode of remeaeeay, 2 and was op; to this “daily walking up the pill to walk down in.” He was Ni gre to any adjournment until they had finished their business. Let them at once go to business, and, instead of fighting a them- selves, fluish their work and go out to battle against their enemies. Other motions and points of order followed, after which a recess was taken until 4 p.m Evening Session —The galleries were thronged to their utmost se ranaicl at balf-pust 4 o’clock, the bour for reessembling, and the concourse of ladies ‘was to the full capacity of the dress circle. The upper tiers were one compact mass of masculine bumanity. It was observed that the benches of the New York delegation were unoccupied, and no movement was made towerds calling the Con- vention to order until five o’clock. Mr. Ladlow, of N.
