In the Third District, several medals were wwarded by teachers and others. Shortly af- aerwards Mr. Gulick, yourself aud others con- tributed to award medals to those who had not received them from other he children in the District In the Grammar and Intermediate Schools the Fulrs of the board authorize the award of gold medals, and both of the pupils above-named were im Intermediate is.

Mr. McCathran then submitted the following letter trom Ex-Alderman Galick: 'W ABHINGTON, JAN. 8, 1868.— Mr McCathron, arSir: Several persons have spoken to me in reference to the remarks made in the Board of Aldermen on Monday evening last, concerning the supposed action of Mr T. E. Clark, in relation to a medal awarded to one of the pupilsof the Third District. Permit tosay to you and to the Board of which you area metaber, that I know nothing whatever of the transaction nor do I believe it as reported in the papers. Iam aware that to some extent, there is some feeling against Mr. Clark. Is it not often the case with the most faithful public servant? I should sincerely re- gret the tailure of your Board to confirm Mr. Clark as Trustee. In my judgement, we have not now nor have we had since I have been in this Board, a more faithful, or better Trustee. It was my pleasure to attend several of the ex- aminations during the past year, and I must say that those by Mr. Clark were the most thorough.and such a» were eventually to make the best teachers and scholars. Excuse me for baving written to yon: I feltit was a matter of justice. ‘Yours respectiolty, io F.Guricr.” The next statement read (signed by Trustees and Ex-Trastees of the Public Schools) wos.

Mr. Richstds surgested that there was one ex-trusiee De knew of whose name was not down on the lisy, Dir. McCaiiran said that was Mr. Stuart. He then referred to the « highly-colored” state- ment of Mr. Elvans as to the lady’s poverty, and had an extract from the National ican read, showing that the will of Mrs. Tucker. admitted to probate in the Orphans’ Court, dis- posed of more than $20.000 worth of property.

But of this 1am quite sure that the discolorations of the kin which were shown did not indicate a cruel beating of the child. In this belief I was -trengthened by the statement of Dr. McKim, & witness called by the prosecution, who thought that no serions injury had been done, and none was likely to result from the whip. ping, though we thought the child severely whipped.

We bave known the trustees of our’ District for years, and do not hesitate to s#y that none has been more zealous more devotedly attached to the interests of the public schools than this gentleman szainst whom the charges of tyranny and injustice are brought.

No one conld say the gentleman had not had an ample opportunity to defend himself. The geatieman bad sheltered Mimself bebiad @ perfect frame work of “I don't remember.” He had shielded bimself in every case behind these words. In the case of the charge about the medal. it is claimed that a mistake was made; that the gold medal was not taken from the neck of the little girl: that by some arrange- ment—that is the ouly word—the medal was Test | given to Mellis instead of Lizzie Stromberger, blame and the whole of the mistake is laid on a subordinate of the Board of Trustees. It is now claimed that Mr. Clark did not know the medal received by Lizzie Strombergerfrom her teacher was a silver medal, but he himself virtually peop — he did know it, He must haye nown it. Mr. Noyes asked if the gentleman did not Monday that the gold meal, mscribed wit the name of the little girl, was ruthlessly torn from her neck. Mr. Elvans said if it was understood that asserted there was Violen: he oe used, it was a mis- take. He said the silver medal was taken from | the neck of the little girl.

Her medal was prepared with the rest he jeweler, anden- giaved by Mr. Phipps, and handed over to Clark & Co. Now comes the day for distribu- tion, the church crowded and the performance commenced. The names were called, and his Honor the ae hung the medals around the children’s necks, according tothe names ca led. Lizzie’s name being called, Mr. Clark, in pres- ence of the assembled multitude, left his place by the altur and went to where Lirzie sat, and took the silver medal from her neck and went back tohis station. When it was her tur to get her medal, he (Clark) handed his Honor the silver medal, which be im turn pre- sented her, keeping tack the gold one. So much for ¢ representa- tion, and so the giving out of medals went on, school after school, until ©.

He then said it was not their intention to give to those who had re- erived medals froma other sources, but in this case he would go the jeweller and get the medal and give it to her. 1 told him as the affair had been conducted on sosmallascale, I would buy the medal - self, and went immediately to the jeweler wodo so; but, much to my surprise, the medal was not there, and the jeweler had no recollection of it, and had not seen it since it was first de- livered to Clark & Co. I would have taken no notice of the affair had it not been for the an- noyance caused by the jeers and sneers of the uncouth children hooting in Lizzie’s ears at every opportunity, so much distressing her as togive her a distaste for school.

I saw Lewis in person; he knew nothing of it being returned, He said to me he had not seen the medal Hur being delivered, nor bad his assistants seen it, according to their saying. STROMBERGER. r. Evans again called attention to the de- nial of Mr. Clark’s “counsel” that he took the same medal from the neck of the little girl. when he himself admits it. He referred to the point made by Mr. Richards, that if the boy ‘was entitled toa gold medal in his school, the girl was entitled to one in hers. What au- thority was there for this favoriticm! ‘Why was it. The whole blame of the “arrange. ment’ is thrown on a subordinate of the school board, who, from his [asso would natarally write @ letter of the kind he had, considering that position. Mr. Noyes warmly vindicated the Secretary (Mr. Boiseau) of the Board of Trustees from the imputation made. He was one of the most truthful and straightforward of men, and noth- img could indnce him to pen anything not strictly correct for the benefit of anybody. Mr. Elvans disclaimed any disposition to re- fect on the Secretary. He went on to say that of the teachers signing the petition, that one or more had signed for fear of compromising themselves. “He submitted another paper. stating that it was a matter of life and death al- most with some of these teachers. Mr. Noyes wanted the names signed to the paper in ques- tion. Mr. Elvans said that be would preter not to have the names published, put the Board could see them on the Secretary's table. He then read the followmg papers: “Mr. Elcans:—Mr. TE Clark bas got ap a Raper and is sending it io the teachers by fur. ‘ottingham, & carpenter whom he employs, for their signatures, exonerating him froin all charges. Mr. Nottingham tells the teachers that it they do not sign it that it will be worse for them, for that Mr, Clark will surely be con- firmed. Some under fear of Mr.Clark's vengeance bave signed it.

Mr. Given raid he (Mr. C.) had given an illustration of his power in his refusal to allow ‘the teachers to attend a faneral. Mr. Richards said that Mr. Clark had been very arbitrary, very unsympathizing with the teachers, or ‘very stupid, He saw nothing agninst that gentleman's moral character, but he saw enough to convince him of his unfitness for a trustee, said that at the last meeting he Mr. Noyes had expressed the doubt whether Mr. Clark's asefulnese as a trustee had not been so im- paired by the difficulties in his District as to Tender it advisable that he should withdraw from the position. But the crusade against him had now taken a shape that he (Mr. Clark) could not in justice to himself withdraw, nor could the Board in justice to him reject his nomination. The new allegations inet him had been most conclusively disproved; the. medal story, the silk dress story, and ail the others, and we bive here petitions and recom. mendations from @ large number of the best and most influential citizens of the Third School District, urging in the warmest terms the con- firmation of Mr. Clark. Mr. Given said he would not deny the re- spectability of the gentlemen, bat would he state who circulated that petition for signa- tures ? Mr. Noyes said that one thing was certain. those gentlemen did not sign under « coercion. ‘They were not that style of men. Mr. Elvans thought the number of signature: wus rather small—twenty-seven names—in a large school district, after the wide circulation of the charges. He thought it rather a bezgarly recommendation. Mr. Noyes said they were representative men of the ward. Considerable discussion ensued as to the cred- ibility of witnesses. Mr. Moore ulluded to the tortuous course of this trial—tor so he called it—which, commenc- ing ina charge of disrespect to the deceased relative of an Alderman, has led to serious charges against a public oflcer. The statement that his usefuiness was impaired in conse- quence of this struggle, was a virtual abandon- ment of the charges which had been confuted by one. Every charge, all originsting in rated rumors, have been set aside by overwhelming testimony. He then reviewed the papers before the Board to prove these po- sitions. In reference to the whipping case, he said the eleven members of the Board, already coufir as guilty. if there was guilt, had no more to do with it | je also spoke of the efforts :o child restored to school, which he thongbt very strange if thix teacher was so cruel and He spoke of the miseon- strnetion put upon the medal question. which charges hid been refuted, and of the applica- ion for books. which had fallen to the ground. | The case then rested on the refusal to close the schools to attend a tuneral, which was, if anything, only an error of judgment, and Mr, C_bos disclaimed all intention of disrespect. Mr. Richards cited a case, showing that it had been the custom to close the schools to at- tend the funere| of deceased teachers, and ar- gucd that he had not abandoned his opposition to the confirmation After further debate a ballot wast which resulted—yeas 6, nays 6: -0 RALON Was not confirmed Several bills from the Lower Bourd were re- ferred, and the Board adjourned.

By theact approved April 11, 1863, an appro: priation was made out of the ward funds for the cost of lighting these lamps, and conse. quently no tax for that year was levied upon the taxpayers.
