Mr. Boswell declined to sign the requisitions on the ground thi tbe Bank of Wasbiugton no checks shall be made upon the bank by the Corporation after the 2oth of the month, or during the te: ys of settling-up time.

Tne Mayor has snnovnced his purpose to give the teachers Precedence im paying off the Corporation in- Cebtedners, and as this class of Corporation employeesare the mostneedy, the decision of the Msyor will be generally accepted as jay, 8nd right, though of course every creditor of the Corporation wants bis money, and thinks be onght to be first paid.
