Bradley, Esq.. to be Stricken frem the Rell of Attorneys. bc) ° Mr. Bradley calls Judge Fisher a Liar. —_—_—.— Last evening the crowd about the Coart House was quite large, and upon the steps of the building there were @ large number of colored persons, anxionsly waiting to hear ine verdict. Judge Fisher was a! his residence in Georgetown, it having been understood that he should be sent for in case the jury agreed ‘The crowd waited for some time outside of the bvilding aiter the doors had been closed. Mr. Birth, one of the jurors, was quite sick yesterday, but he was mach better last even- ing. A number of the jurors seem to bein very good spirits, and were engaged last evening in singing hymns, Home, Sweet Home,” Xc. At 10.30 last might Judge Fisher had not been, sent for, and most of the jurors had retired for the night. TO-DAY. A large number of persons congregated about the‘court-room this morning in hopes that a ‘verdict would be rendered, or the jury would be bronght into court. As usual, all kinds of Tumors were circnlated, the latest one being that the yary stand eight for acquittal and four tor conviction, bnt it 1s known that this is only guesswork. Of courre the jury cannot be dis- chcrged unless at their own request. The most reasonable report ts that the majority of the jury is determined not to ask to be dis- charged, and a verdict must be rendered. It 1s very probable tha: they will be brought in,| court to-day. i \0.30.—Judge Fisher has been in the court- | room, but did not take his seat on the bench A large crowd is present, expecting that there | will be something heard from the jury this mcrping. District Attorney Uarrington is in ‘he LOOM, Dut neither of ihe counsel for defense have beenn this morning. The ju: cambe | seenat the windows of thelr rooms. but jadging | f.om their conntenatices and the discussions , det ween them, it does not appear thai they have agreed upon a verdict. 1 o'CLOCK.—Judge Fisher has left the court- om, with the understanding that he will be out during the day to receive the ver- tin case the jury shoald agree. The crowd | is decreased some. it being generally under- cd that there is ne probability of a verdict orning anyhow. ©CLOCK.—There is but a small crowd in the court-room, but many are about the build- ng and on thes: ps leading thereto. Judge Fisher is up strfrs in the judges’ private room and it is said Re has received a communication | from the jury. and replied to the same in | writen, Deputy Marshal Phillips at tnis time cotered the court room and inquired if all the officers and bsiliffs were present. They soon answered, and were stationed in different parts | ot the court room. Immediately the crowd about the building begen to rush im, aud ina few minutes" the court room’ was crowded. Thea all. kinds of rumors and inquiries were made. “Is the jury comin; down!" “They are go ug to render a verdict,” «The Court is foing to discharge them,” «They are coming for intirvciions,” and many other like report were circulated. District Atiorney Carrington and Mr. Jos. H. Bradley, Jz..were in conrt ac the time. and mecsengers were immediately sent for Messrs. Eradley and Merrick, the de‘endaat’s cyunsel. Atfif- teen mint fes beio-e 1 o'clock Mesers. Bradley ard Mrrrick ente=ed the room, and the crowd of spectators increased every minute ? At this Bour some one entered the Toom, and snnounced that Surratt was com- ing immediately. All eyes were turned to- wards the wincow on the north side of the court-room, look.n2 toward the jail. 1t was soon discovered that he was coming, and per- sons were seen burrying from all directions oward tLe Uity Hall. 1 OcLecK.—The prisoner was brought into | court by Deputy Marshal Phillips and Thos. H. Robinson, one of the bailiffs. The Rand- cuffs were removed by Mr. Phillips, and the er Was shown to & seat by the side of his counsel. 105 —Judge Fisher entered the room and took his seat upon the bench, and directed Deputy Marshal Phillips to bring the jury dow A large police force was stationed arouné the room to preserve order. The prisoner looked very pale, and imme- diately on taking his seat began fanning him- self with bis bat. Atic6 the jury were brought in, in charge of the bailiffs. . ‘Tbe jury were called by Mr. Middleton, the clerg who asked them if they bad agreed upon a verdict, Mr: Todd replied. «We are not able toagree.” Judge Fisher then said I have re- ceived this morning the following letter from the yury:— To the Hon. Geo. P. Fisher, Judge of the Crimi= nal Court.—Sir: The jury im the case of the United States vs. John H. Surratt, most re- specttully state that they stand precisely now as when they first balloied upon entering the room—nearly equally divided—and they are afonily convinced Vyat they cannot possibly make ‘a ventict. We deem it our duty io the court, 19 the country. and in view of the con- dition of our private affairs and situation ot our families, aud in view of the fact that the bealth of several of our number is becoming seriously impaired under the protracted con- Anement. io make this statement, and to esk | your Honor to dismiss us at once.

Birth, B.F..Morsell. ' Wm. McLean. Judge Fisher said: “1s there anything to be said on either side why he jury shall be not be discharged.” Mr. Bradley, sr.. replied: “All we have to fay on the part of the prisoner is that he does not give his consent to the discharge. If the jury is discharged it is against his will apd purpose. Mr. Carrington said: “1 leave the matter to. the Gourt.” Judge Fisher said: “Gentlemen of the jury: ‘This is the second communication I have re- ceived from you. is I thought there was any ity of your coming [0 @ verdict, an to guilt or inmocense of the prisoner, I should uot besitate to keep you confined, but as there seems no possibility of your agreeing upon a verdict. you are hereby discharged.” Mr. Bradley said:—“We desire to have our bis parm put on record.” udge Fisher.—+ Yes, sir.” ‘There were at this point some demonstra- tions of diserder, which the bailiffs promptly checked. Judge Fisher directed that the prisoner be remanded to the custody of the Marshal. Mr. Merrick (to District Attorney Oarring- ton.)\—Do you propose to keep this prisoner OF enter a nolle prosequi Mr. Carrington replied he certainly would not enter @ nolle prosequi.

Itis currently reported that the juty stood seven for acquittal and five for conviction. THE CHALLENGE TO JUDGE ae. The excitement occasioned by the affair in the court-room was increased outside by the report (hat @ challenge had been handed to Judge Fisher by Mr. Bradley. Verious re- Ports are in circulation in regard to this mat- ter, but after inquiry we learn that the follow- ing are the facts in the case: Judge Fisher, on leaving the court room, entered a/street car for the purpose of going to hie residence in Georgetown. He was fol- lowed by Mr. Bradley, who entered the car, and taking from a side pocket a piece of Paper. glanced at it, and saying it was not what we wanted, replacea it, and took out a letter, wRich he held out towards Jadge Fisher. The Judge remarked that he did noi want that, or some werds to that effect, At this moment some policemen car, apparently on the belief that collision between Mr. Bradley Fisher was impending. Mr. Bradley remarked that be intended no Personal indignity to Judge Fisher; he merely wished to hand him a letter. Judge Fisher then received the letter and commenced to read it, and after reading a few lines called to Mr. Bradley to stop and get an answer Mr. Bradley haa by this time lett the car and mingled with tne crowd, and evidently did not hear the callof Judge Fisher. The iatter then resomed his seat, and quietly finished Teading the letter, after which he showed it to- some of his friends sitting nearhim. The letter ‘was not a formal challenge, but was to all in- tents and purposes an Invitation for @ hosiile meeting. The communication first referred to the af. fair in the court-room between Judge Fisher and Mr. Bradley early in July last, during the progress of the Surratt trial, and quoted tbe expression attributed to Judge Fisher to the effect that he (Mr. B.) knew where Mr. F. lived, and that he (Mr, F.) would re- ceive a communication from him at any time. ltthen stated that the writer could give but | one interpretation to that declaration by Judge F., and referring to the misunderstanding be- tween them, itsuggested that Mr. F. should Sppoint as early a day as convenient to meet T. B, outside this District for the purpose of settling their difficulty. Mr. B. suggested in bis communication that it they met within the District they might be interfered with, and gave a similar reason for delivering the letter personally. AT THE CITY HALL. The excitement about the City Hall just after the adjournment of the Court was intense, and every one expected a collision between Mr. ted, | Pim er, ry After Judge Fisher entered the car, and was followed by Mr. Bradley, a crowd congre- gated about the car in two minutes, and it was impossible for the car to proceed until the officers had restored order. | Mr. Bradley shortly after handing the note | to Judge Fisher proceded to his office, ac- | companied by a large number o1 nis personal friends. In consequence of the order of Judge Fisher directing the name of Joseph H. Bradley to be stricken from the roll of attorneys, the mem- it is said, will bold a meeting in the court room at the City Hall,on Monday morning at 11 o'clock, to take said order into consideartion, and determine upon their | ee ASSAULT AT THE PARK.—Last evening, about eleven o'clock, a difficulty occurred be- tween Levi Mansbach and John M. Ehret, at seriously hurt. It appears that Ehret, with a young lady, weat up to one of the stands and called for beer and ice cream, when Mansbach, who was acquainted with him, came up, sa- luting him, and asked to be treated. Enret did treat bim—rather mndifferentiy; that is he refused to be taxed for a drink for him, saying, 8s it is alleged, that “he was not worth being treated,” and thas one word led to another, end as Ehret was about to leave, Mansbach picked up a lager beer glass and threw it at him, it striking him over the right eye and cutting @ deep and painful gash. Quite a stir was created at the Park. Officer Frank Payne, of the Fifth Precinct, reports finding the wounded man im a wagon on the corner of 10th and © streets, at Rhinehart’s, his boarding- house, where they refused to admit him. He was then taken to Dr. Kiesberg s, and from thence to the hospital on Capitol Hill. Mans- bach was arresied by officer Jarboe, of the Tenth Precinct, who took him down to the Central Guardhowse, where he was brought out before Justice Thompson, who, having received information from Dr. Lincoln that Ehret was not dangerously hurt, held the prisoner to bail in the sam of $300 for his appearance at eourt. ———_e—__ DEATH oF & JovRNALIST.—The friends of J. Walter Fitch will be shocked to hear ot his sudden death. - He had been ill of typhoid fever, but was considered convalescent, and his iriends expected soon to see him at his customary post im “Ne Row,” but he experienced a andden relapse, ending fatally. Mr. Fitch was a native of Wisconsin, and was atone time connected with the Milwaukie Vews, but latterly har re-ided in this city, act. ing as Wesbington correspondent for various leading journals.

The Twenty-secoad Annual Report of the |, Board of Trustees of Public Schools of the | City of Washingtoa, preparea by William J. Bhees, Esq., of the Board, is a compleve and well-prepared document. The history of the Public school svatem of the District, as given here, is interesting. The first act of the city of Washington in regard to schools was that of December 5, 1804, passed by the Phird Uoun- cil. By this act the superintendence of schools was placed under the direction of aboard com- posed of thirteen trustees, seven to be elected annually by the Oouncils. and six to’be chosen by those who ehould contribute ten dollars for the “promotion of the sebeols,” each contrib- utor to bave as many votes as he contributed sums of $10. This louve had power to ap- t its president and treasurer, to make by- 8, Teceive donations, and ta vest and apply the funds placed under its care. Provision was made for the education of children whose parents or guardians wer- unable to defray the expense. The proceeds of taxes on slaves and dogs. licensee for carriages and hack: restaurants, taverns, retailing re bees billiard tables, public amusements, bawkers aud ped- dlers, were appropriated for the suppo! the schools so far as the Trustees might decide to be necessary, not exceeding $1,500 annually. ‘The employment of agents was authorized to ‘solicit subscriptions at a distance,” and $200 were Sppropraied, to defray expenses thus in- curre Un the 29th October, 1808, an appropriation of $800 was made for the support of “a perma- nent institution for the education of youth.” and the Trustees, were directed to make a quarterly report to the Mayor of the number of children educated, stationery aud books sup- plied, and the amount of money expended. Under this, the rirst schoo! was opened with about a hundred pupils. This act repealed the appropiation of #1,500 allowed from taxes and licenses in 1804. The charter allowed the city to raise funds by lottery “for effecting any important im- provement tor which the ordinary revenues ‘Were insufficient,” provided tha: the amount so raised should not exceed 10,000 clear ofexpen- ses, in each year, and be approved by the Presi- dent of the United States. Accordingly, in November. 1512, a resolution was passed to Yaise $10,000 in this way “for building aud en- dowing two Public School-houses on the Lan- cxsteriam system,” which was approved by edison. For &@ number of yesrs similar resolutions were adopted, and funds were raised by lotteries, not oaly for schools, but for a Penitentiary aud City Hall, ‘There, suit of the experiment, however, was unfortu- nate for the city, as, instead of proving @ prof- itablespecalatioz, it eventually entailed adebt of over 300,000 on the corporation. On the 28th of June, 1816, the city was di- vided into two echool districts, with separate boards of trustees. tne first composed of the First and Second Wards, and the second of the Third and Fourth War The board of the first district consisted of nine members. six annually chosen by joint ballot of City Coun- cils, three from each ward: and three elected by contributors of #10 as before. The boardof the second district consisted of seven mem- bers, chosen by joint ballot of Vity Councils. At the same time another act was passed ap- propriating $1,500 for the support of the school in the first district and $600 for the one in the second district. to be paid in proportion to the number of pupils from vach ward. The acts providing for the election of trus- tees by contribution, aud for the appropria- tion of 81.500, were repealed in 18i8, and the schools were ‘to be conducted upon the prm- ciple of pee gane poe scholars,” to which the appropriation of $1,000, then made for the first district, was to be limited. The trastees were also authorized to place certaia scholars, sufficiently advanced, ++ at aschool for a higher grade of instruction, at an expense for each not exceeding S10) per quarter.” By the act of October 24, 1520, $1,000 were appropriated for the First District, consisting of the First, Second. and Third Wards:and $850 for the Second. consis'ing of the Four: Fitth, and Sixth Wards, in proportion to the number of pupils taken from each ward. It was ordered that “it shall not be lawful to suffer any children to be taught for pay, but said schools shall consist entirely of children whose parents are unuble to pay for \heir tuition All the acts of the Councils, from the first, expressly provide for the setting apart of school funds that they might not be used for any other purpose. An act of 34 July, 1924, directed the Mayor toreserve from the revenue of the wards the amount appropriated for schools, after the interest on the public debt bad been paid. showing that they weie con- sidered next in importance and obligation. By act of July 27, 1526, $40.00, raised by the lotteries previously authorized. were appro- priated, solemnly pledged. and set apart for the purpose of endowing two Charity Schools, one in the Eastern and tne otherin the Wes- tern districts of the city,” and the Mavor was Tequired to invest this @momnt in corpor>.doa stocks, the interest to be prid quarterly to the ‘Treasurer of 82h schoul, to be appliea by the ‘Trustees to the paymeni of the salaries of teachers and contingent expenses. In 1633. February 25, £1,900 were appropri- ated tothe two Districts as above, and the Mayor was directed to purchase stock with peered credit of the school fund, and thereafter to take the same course with all unexpended balances at the end ofeach year. The amount of this stock now held by the Mayor (1967) is $58,645, the imterest of which is transferred by the Register to the credit of the scnool fund. In 1562 Mayor Seaton called attentien to the fact that only 1200 children out of 2,500 in the city were receiving instruction, and recommending ac- tion by the council and the adoption of the New England system of common echools. His views were seconded by Mr. J. F. Haliday, and Rev. O. A. Davis, members of a committee of the Common Vouncil. in their report it was proposed that seven schools should be estab- lished,open to white children between the age- of 6and 16 years, to be supported by a tax of one-sixth of one per cent upon the assessable Pro ‘of the city. The change from edu- cating only indigent children. to throwing open schools to all classes, and the proposai to levy a tax. excited warm discussion and much opposition. The resuit was the passage ot the act of December 6, 1844, which was really the first attempt at organizing a school system. The city was districted and provision made for the organization of a board of school trustees. The election of & good and substantial schoo! Rouse for not less than 250 pupils, on Judiciary Square, was dtrected at 4 cost limited to =2,000, as well as the parchase of alot and the erection of a buiiding in the Fourth District for not less than 150 pupils, at & cost of not more than $1,3\0). “For the purpose of rendering the means of instraction more ample,” the Trustees were to require from each pupil a /uition fee in advance, not exceeding fifty cents per month, and all pupils were to provide their own books. In cases of obvious inability to pay. children might be tdmitted free of charge. The fees were to be deposited monthly in bank, and when the amonat' was sufficient, additional female teache1s could be employed at a salary not exceeding $250. ‘The appropriation for the support schools under the new law was in- creased to a little more than $4,000. This combined free and pay system went into operation on the Ist of January, 1915, and continued till the Ist of September, 1819. Ac- commodations were pro: ‘d for 700 pupils, and at first the schools were nearly full, the amount received from paytpupits (81,050) being almost enough to pay the assistant teacners. But each succeeding year the number of pu- pils diminished, as well as the receipts for tuition, till 1848 the Trustees reported to the Councils that they had dismissed the assistint teachers in consequence of the fees to which they were restricted being inadequate for their support. The plan of educating sonie ot the pupils im the school gratuitously and others for pay, caused a sti to rest upon the former, producing ill-feeling and social dis- tnebons: mien. Jed to the abandonment of the system. The charter of the city having been renewed, power was obtained to levy a special tax and also a capitation or tax for the benefit of the schools. By the act of 22, 1848, there was imposed 4 school tax of one dollar upon every free white male citizen of this city, of the age of 21 years and upwards, which shall be due and payable at the the same time, and shall be collected in the same manner, as the taxes upon personal property are eollected.” The be ser rgd to make return to the Register of the persons subject to the school tax, who was to piace a copy of said return in the hands of the Qol- lector, who was to collect the tax.as soom.as it became due; and in defau IE of payment within. ninety days, to collect same, after due notice, by distress sale of the goods, chat- tels, and personal effects of the person charge- able therewith.

In 1956the salaries of female teacher® and all teacher ? Is, were fixed at $500, being an increase of $100. The selection of the ‘most meritorious and ad- vanced pupils in the Female District Schools, to be called sub-assistant teachers,” was an. thorized, their duty being to supply any va- cancy which might temporarily occur in Primary Schools, aad to receive an annual salary of $100. An important law was Om the 2ist May, 1867. forthe protection of the schools, providing that any person molesting or disturbing them or the teachers akould pay & fine of not lees than five nor more than ten dojlars, and on failure to pay. or to give proper security, the offender should be con- fined in the workhouse for not less than thirty nor more than ninety days. The attention of teachers {s called to this act, as many annoy- ances might be remedied by its enforcement. The act of November 12, 1858, is the law under which the schools are now organized. The annual appropriation for 1860 for the support of the schools were about $27,000; in 1863, $36.000; increasing till 1866, when they were eed Night schools were first authorized in 1560. In 1861 a tax of ten eents on every $100 of Property. was levied for ‘he supportoi schools, which has been continued annually with the exception of the year 1865. In 1862 an addi- tional tax of five cents on every S100 was levied for the erection of school-houses, which has been continued annually. The grading of schools into primary, secondary, intermediate, and grammar. took place in 1862. and at the same time the salaries of the teachers were in- creased. Steps were also taken for the erec- tion of the Wallach echool-house in the third district. In 1864 the salaries were still farther increased, and a committee appointed to par- chase alot and erect a large building in the first district. Thus, from small beginnings, and with varying degrees of progress, hasour school system been broughi to its present creditable condition. ee ges CENTER MARKET, 10-Day.—Heetf, yer Ib. next, 25c.; Salt Beef, 15a20c.; eef, 25a3c.

M. Tubman as a paper hanging and picture trame establishment, and by Pur- cell & Hoy as ® stove and tin ware manu‘ac- tory. The fire, which was undoubtedly the: ‘work of an incendiary, originated in Mr. Tub- man’s store, and before it was discovered had entirely destroyed the contents of that store, and invaded the premises of Messrs. Purcell & Hoy. The fire department was prompily on the spot and hard at work, and it is due solely to their exertions tha: the conflagration did not extend its ravages. The building was in- sured for $2,700—eufficient to cover the loss— 1a the Liverpoot and London and Glebe In- surance Company—Messre. Hooe & Wedder- burn, agents. Mr. Tubman, whose loss 1s es- tmated at $3,000, was insured for $2,500, in the National Insurance Company. of Baltimore— Jamieson & Bro., sgents. The insurance pol- icy of Messrs. Purcell & Hoy had expired about a week or two ago. Their loss is sup- po-ed to be about $600. Mrs. Hoy, an old Indy, the mother of one of the firm of Purcell & Hoy. who occupied a room over the stores, was res- cned from the burning building by some of the firemen, who brought her down & ladJer trom the second stery window.—Aler.

The case came be- fore Justice Morsell when Annie testified that Bolster was in the havit of. veating her fre- quently during every week: that he was beat. ing her life away by inches; and tha: las night, after he had beat her, he took her up to the White Lot where he made her lay on the stones all night.
