This is the inst school to be examined in that miserable building at the corner of Massachusetts >venue and Fifth street, calied the Washington Market. in wbich some five schools (numbering about 300 scholars) are kept. This building is perhaps well enough adapted to other purposes, but to crowd three hundred children in its three con- tracted rooms. with low crilings,we think, is the izst ase to which it should be applied. We re spectfully commend tce situation of these schoc!s to the City Councils * Mr. W J.

(60 ) over 50 were gotten together in Miss Acton’s school, and the ation was held. The school seems to bea ormed ong. most of the scholars a, parently being beginners, but as far as they had learned they answered their questions satisfactorily. While the examination was going on. a number of large boys disagreeably laterrupted the exer- cises by their boisterous noise For the present, until other arrangements can be madé, both Miss Acton’s and Miss Reed’s school will be taught {a this room, Miss Acton’s from 8 to 12 o’clock, and Miss Reed’s from 1 to 4 o’cloca.

Leavs-TAKiNe at THE Navy Yarp —The ex- ecutive officer of the Navy Yard, Lieut. Foxnail A Parker, having been relieved from duty there at his own request, the master workmen of tne Yard proceeded in a body, on Monday morning, to take leave of him at his quarters, and Mr. White, in behalf of bis fellow-workmen, pre- seated him witha letter ssuenice of their regret 2t parting wita so valuable and accomplished «ticer; complimenting bis administration in the Yard, and assuring him of their wishes for his future prosperity and happiness. The letter was signed be ae the master workmen end civil eficers of The Yard. L‘eut. Parker, after thankimg them for the mark of respect and kindness in this leave-taking, re- inarked that if he had been successfu! in the dis- charge ef his duties, it was because he bad always been ably seconded by them, which made them, aithough arduous, cheerful and pleaxant. Lieut Parker will be sucoceded by Lieut. J. C. P. DeKraft, a native of Washington, and witbal am accomplished officer, as execytive cficer of the Yard. New Wuarves—A large and commodious wharf has just been erected at the arsenal, in the piace of the former contracted and dilapidated sructare, ander the direction cf Col G. D.

Evans are now engaged in building a large wharf at the foot of South Capitol street, for our fellow-citizen Mr. J. P. Bartbolow. This iatter wharf will be quite an improvement, which, while ! ecessary to the present trade, will also attract more to that quarter. There are a large number of wharves at present, which, with a little repair, could be made serviceable, but any others could be entirely torn away to make way for new structures. Row AMone THE GrRis.—Yesterday morning, 2s three girls named Joanna Cavanaugh, Honora Lacey and Bridget Kendrick, were returning fom the camps, where they had been peddling, & quarrel —— about some delicate matter, and Miss Cavanaugh knocked down Miss Lacey and beat her.

Tar Exanci?ation Comuission.— (i The Republican, in its issue of Friday, in its local co!umn, assumed to advise the public as to the method which the Commissioners of coe tion ‘‘ have adopted for the ascertainment of Value of the slaves?’ freed under the recent act of Congress Itsays: ‘(At this rate (the aggregate arhount of thtee hundred dollars for each slave discharged trom service), the sui total of 6om- ——- cannot exteed niné bundted thotisand ollars for three thousand slaves, and the law as- sumes that no more than that number were in the District of Columbia at the time of its passage. If there were but twenty-five hundred siaves, the aggtegate ctimpehsation ¢annot exceed seven handted and fifty thousand dollars.” If this be the construction of the law by the Commissioners—which we doubt, notwithstand- ing the ‘‘ free conversation’? which the writer for the Republican professes to have had with them— itis clearly erroneous. Tne law does not assume that three thousand was the number of slaves in the District of Columbia at tHe tite of its pas- sage; nor does it limit ‘' the value in money of the seVeral Claims by them [the pape yore found to be valid,” to nine hundred thousan dollars. The number of slaves in this District, including those hired from the adjoining counties of Mary- land and Virginia, was, according to the census of 1960, which was.taken some two years ago, three thousand one hundred and eighty-five (3,185). The amount appropriated by Congress to compensate the owners of these siaves, freed and discharged by the act of April 16, 1862, was one million of dollars, and the only limitation is, that the entiresum appraised and spportioned by, the Commissionets as the value of the claims ijadged by them to be valid ‘shall not exceed, im the aggregate, an amount equal to three hun- dred doliars for each person”? released from ser- vice or labor. One million of dollars is for com- nsation to the owners of the slaves, and for bat purpose only. The sixth section of the act Provides that the ‘‘reasonable expenses of the commission,’’ besides the compensation of its efficers and the fees of the Marshal, *‘shall be ptid from the Treasury of the United States,” and the eleventh section makes an independent appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars for the colonization of,‘‘free persons of African descent” it matters not, therefore, whether the number of slaves be that indicated by the census of 1860, '3,185,) three thousand, or any less number, the ommissioners are empowered to Be gomeae and apportion” as their value —— not exceeding One million of dollars, so that the appraisement does not exceed, in the segregate, three hundred dollars for each slave. For example: suppose one hundred and fifty slaves be appraised at one hundred dollars; two hundred at one hundred and fifty doliars; two hundred and fifty at two hundred dollars; three hundred at two bundred and fifty dol'ars; three hundred and fifty at three hundred doll+rs; four hundred at four hundred dollars; four hundred and fifty at four hundred and fifty dollars; and five hundred at seven hun- dred dollars each. We then have twenty-six hundred slaves, which is not far from the number for which claims w.ll be presented, appraised at nine hundred and eighty-seven thousand and five bundred dollars, €957.300,) which is within the appropriation by Congress, and does ‘“‘not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to three hun- dred doliars,’’ for each slave. And yet, if the construction of the law which is the occasion of this article, should prevail, seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars only would be appor- tioned as the value of twenty-six hundred slaves, altzough their real value be one miliion. Undoubtedly the Commissioners may “appraise and apportion” a less sum than three hundred dollars as the value per capita of any number of slaves, or of the whole number, if such be their judgment But, they can fix no arbitrary rule of value. Their duty is to follow the law, to which we have full confideace they will give a just and liberal interpretation, and thus silence the empty clamor which we dally hear, in certain quarters, about ‘depriving people of thelr property with- out compensation.” The appropriation for compensation to the slave-owners, it is proper to state in this connec- tion, Is sufficient to pay for 3.303 slaves at the rate of 2300 foreach slave. This shows that the law does not assume that there were no mre than three thousand slaves here at the time of its ge. Since we have been led into more extended re- marks upon this subject of emancipatioa in the District than we anticipated, there ts another point in the article of the Kepubdli:an upon which we will comment briefly. It says: “It is immaterial that on principles of atrict equity and absolute right these slave-holders had mo just claim to the wages of their slaves. The law assumes that the equity of the claimant is not good, but at the same time admits that there isa color of title—strengthened by time—if not a legal title, which should not be destroyed with. out offering fair and reasonable com ation.”? The intent of this language {s, although not fully declared, that there was no legal ownership of slaves in the District of Columbia, and, con- sequently, that the sinve-holders had ‘no just claim to the wages of their slaves,”’ nor any claim to their service or labor If this be so, Congress was stultified tn the act of emancipation, and the act itself isa fraud upon the Treasury. There wever, a balder absurdity; and the of it was from a “learned pundit” in the Senate. who discovered, contrary to the judi- cial opinions of Marshall, and Story, and Bald- win, and McLean, that the Maryland la 1715, which was the law for the present territory ®f the District of Columbia, enslaved the negro for one generation only ; an enceey, that inas- much as ee a of Marylan Prior to 1800 onty, were ©; ve aver - ee igre, y had no legal ex. The law of 1715 bears no ich construction, in the first place, and in the second, the Maryland law of 1663, which declares that ‘all negroes or other slaves within the Province, and all negroes and other slaves §o be Aereafter imported into the Province, shall serve durante vita, and all chil- dren born of any negro or other slave shall be slaves, as their fathers were, for the term of their a was, until the 16th of April, 1962, the law of tHe District of Columbia. There was no other law than these statutes, whereby slavery existed in Maryland, until a law was enacted, so late as 1843, we believe, establishing it in so many words. And yet, the courts of that State, which inclined to freedom, always, when a claim existed, never had any doubt as to the slayeholder’s rights under the ancient statutes. Here, in conclusion, we will mention the fact, which ery: Bes your readers will remember, that in 1841, at the second session of the Twenty-sixth Sere when Jobn Quincy Adams, Jos! R. Gi ngs, William Slade M. Gates, John Mattocks, and other sentinels of ‘* human free- dom” equally watchful, if not so able, were mem- bers of the House of Representatives, a bill, which became a law, passed, without objection in either House, allowing Colonel John Carter, of Georgetown, to bring a certain negro man from the State of Alnbama, and hold bim asa slave in the District of Columbia, the same as he was there held. And this, too, in view of the fact, if we remember aright, that bat for such special legis- lation the negro in question could not have been held as a slave here, for a longer period than one year.
