He bad devoted much to the preparatiow. of this aud @ similar bill, and believed the subject one of vita! in- terest to the city.

Mr. Plant introduced a joint resolution, in lieu of that passed last week, requesting Capt. Scheetz to furnish a list of all persons who claimed exemption from the draft on the ground of not being besidents of this District. [The tormer resolution only contemplated aliens.] The resolution was passed by the following vote: Yeas— Messrs. Brown, Gordon, Gulick, Floyd, Lewis, Plant, Turton and Semmes. Nays—Messrs. Clephane and Sargent. Mr. Sargent, front. gommittee on schools, reported back the bit of Common Council in- creasing the salary of teachers 0; public schools, with an amendment drawn by another member of the committee, (Mr. Utermehle.) Mr. U.’s amendment contemplated giving an increase of $50 per annum to all the teachers below the male grammar teachers from Jan. 1, 1561, to June 50, 1564. Mr. Lloyd, also & member of the committee on schools, introduced as a substitute for the whole bill a bill increasing the salaries of the male and female grammar s<hool and interme- diate school teachers 20 per cent., and of the se¢ondary and primary schoo! teachers 25 per cent. Mr. Utermehile stated that two weeks ago he had asked a posiponement of the consideration ot this school bill in order that he might get up certain Statistics, as indir. ct attacks had beeu made upon him, he havirg been charged with a shoddy arrangement in endeavoring to secure venchers. He (Mr.U.) did say he could furnish as gocd teachers as we now h S120. He could not, however, be led astray by attacks from newspapers, and cared bat lide or no- thing for what they said. He only cared for the citizens and for the opinions of his con- stitnents. He had not been able to obt: all the information he desired, but had received two letters from the mayor ot Baltimore and from other parties. As he had beea atiacked by &@ Lewspaper, he hoped the reporter of that paper would take note of his reply, in order tbat the publie might jadge his conduct and say Whether itis soreprehensible. From Phil- adelphia he had learned that the aggregate sal- aries paid to primary school teachers were $210. We pay $300. In the Philadelphia secondary schools $65 were paid in Philadelphia against 856 here; and so were other schools in pro- portion He would leave it to a discriminating pubtic to Getermine whether the Corporation of Wash- ington bad placed the es lower than in any other city. The Male Grammar school teuchets get $i.200 So does the same class of teachers here. In Philadelphia, the Grammar sehoo! teachers had charge of 250 pupils, 50 of whom were under his iminediate charge. Here the teachers has eharge of but 60 pupiis. In Philadelphia, tae daily sessions of the schools commence at 9 o’clock and end at 43¢ gadock, v two hours intermission: here they commence at 9 and end at3 o'clock, with one bours iniermission. Nine-teaths of the ealaries of Philadelphia teachers were *350 and uncer; but in justice to that city he would eny she had recently increased the salaries of her teachers $100 each. S Mr. Utermehie also relerred to the schools in Bofelo, N. Y., and argued in fayor of his bill, which he said proposed to give the proper in- creuse and keep the schools properly graded. Mr. U. concladed by reading from acts parsed by the Corporation of Washington rela- tive to theschool system, and argued that the jaw itsel# contemplated the employment of teachers at a less rate of salary if Possible; end argued that therefore he was not the only one who desired to employ teachers at a lower ery. *aMr Lloyd said he thought the Philadelphia school system was the most contemptible in the country, for they there docked a teacher one third of her salary if she was abseut from school au hour of the day.
