(one sick,) and notwith- standing that the pupils were somewhat in- commocied it was readily perceived that it was ap orderly, well-nebay school. Last year the examination was not one of the best, and the improvement of the pupils was noticeable yes- terday, giving indications that soon the Secoad District Grammer will be equal ‘othe other Grammar Schools. Tn arithmetic the examt- nation Was very fine. and the reading was also good, in some imstances as fine as in any other school. Last yeara geutieman having offered prize of a gold medal to the best pupil in arithmetic, (mental and written.) some time ‘Was spent with the class, and it was decided that the claim to the medal rested between A Wwe and T. J. that be volunteered to procure one. At the : m of the exercises Mr. Wilson ad- dressed the assemblage, Conaramniating the pe- puls on the improveme: had got well up in arith; and relocation no doubt was ss satisfactory to the audience as to himself. He had notexpect- ed te find the pupils well advanced in gram. mar, for it would take three y~ars to bring the school well up m that study. Mr. Rires fol- lowed, alluding to the fact that there had not a Oue case of punishment during the year, and the school had givem entire satisfaction to the Trustees. Mr. Woodward remarked that there was no school m the District more order- Jy, and he bore testimony to the fuithfutness of the teacher. Secondary No. 6, (Female,) was examined on ‘Thursday morning by Mr. Fox, m the school room, on F street, near 7th, which was hand- somely decorated for the occasion, and th friends of the school and pupils were well Pleased with the resnit, The rumber on the Toll 1s forty-one, of whom but one was absent, and they were in two classes, esch passing 4 very creditable examination, and every one being on beir best behavior. At the close M: Fox made some appropriate remarks comp! mentary to the teacher, and expressing his grat Hfication ot the progress made. Thord Dvstrict —Ome of the most satisfactory school examinations that bas taken place tn's season was that of Miss Addie Thompson’s Female Intermediate No. 1, of the Third Dis- triet yesterday atternoon. at Wallach building. The ‘exercises commenced at two o’¢lock. and Tasted 1 half-past six, daring which tim usmont im-erest was maniiesi;d by the larze bumber of visivors preent, imcluded amo: whom were many of the parencs of the scholars and teachers of other <chools in ihe District. The school room was handsomely decorated with fowers, while on each desk, between two young misses was a beautiiul bouquet, and a Ser.es of others were on the teacher's desk; thereby presenting an agreeable sight to the eye and distributing througheut the room a delici- ous fragrance. Dr. Waish, Mr. Marks, Trus- tees, aud Mr. T. Edward Clark, ex-irustee were resent. the first-named officiating as principal conductor of the examination. Forty-six scholars, the fall number on the rolls, were in Attendance, ranging in ages .rom 19 to 15 yeirs, aud each one was attired in white jMneto~ irummed with The exerci arithmetic and ortho; rapay; song.“The Snow.” First class—Practical arith. metic ard reading: song. “Zula Zong.” Second elass—Practical arithmetic and dialogues, First class—Ortbographr, moutal arithmetic. and geography: song, “The Exgle” S$ cond class—Readimg and geography; song, «The Water Lily.” First class—Grammar apd dia- fogue. Second class—Grammar; soug. “Take me Hoe,” and at the close the dialogne of “Sit Pecer aud Lady Teazle,” the parts being sustained in the most excellent manner by two young misses. In ali the departments of study the scholars exhibited a high degree of pro- ficiency; but more especially in grammar and geoztaphy. A solo wassung before the close by Miss Annie Cox, a little girl of aboot tem years of aze, sssisted usses Alice Williams, Delpbia Jenkins, Belle Keisey ard @agcie Bean. For ber age, Miss Cox basa most remarkably rich and sweet voice. the cul- tivation of which has already been farad vanced. Before the scholars were dismissed addresses were made by Dr. Walsh aud Aldermaa Gu- liek, both of Whom expressed unqualified as usfaction at the manret im which the young ladies bad passed the examination, and gai complimented Miss Thompson for her zeal and eMiciency asateacher. Both centlemea said 2%at whiletbey Bad been much gratified at the preceding examinations, yet in this parucular case they could not refrain from saying that it far exceeded any of tts grade which they nad ever witnessed. Prof. Daniel wes present. to whom ts due the high character of vocal culti- ation manifested by the scholars. Bouquets were distributed as ihe Sistiors passed out, and ‘then Miss Thompson bade sebolar fare- well with am afleetionate kiss. Tn the forencov, Secondary schools Nos. + snd 5, with Mixs Lusby and Miss Morphy as teachers, were examined at the Wallach baild- jog. by Mr. W. T. Johnson, trustee. At the fifty-sevem scholars were present, and at second, fitty. The classes were exam- ined ia the usual stndies of reading, spelling, grography, arithmetic, and sin, and trom those who were present we learn that theschoi- ars were well up tothe mark. The discipline was good, and the hp appearance of the chil- dren indicated that the teachers had not given their at‘ention solely to the mental culture of their litte charges. ——_-—__ AN OLD AND OUTRAGEOUS OrvENDER AR- ResTED.—Thursday night at 3 -estival neld at the colored people's chureh, on Vermont ave+ nur, between Q and K, & negromamed Henry Willis, (well known to the police of the Sec- 4 Precinct) conducted himself iu so ontra- $4 manner that Sergeant Mull and of.

Believing that any official act of mine in City Hall on that day ought to be only a5 & conservator of the And not as a jndge as to who was and ‘was not righifally elceted Mayor of Washington, or whether the inauguration was tormal or informal, I direct- ed the lieutenant to immediately withdraw his men from the door of the Mayor's office, and to offer no resistance to the gentieman who had Just been sworn in as Mayor of Washington if he attempted to enter the same. ‘When the retiring Mayoz locked the Mayor's office and left, his term of office had expired, and in bim all the powers and tives of the office of Mayor ceased to exist, so that «ny Tequest or directions given by that geutleman, at that time, were entitled to just the same, and no more, consideration than those of any other citizen of Wasbington. It should be borne in mind that, at this time, there was no claiming to be elect d to the office of yor except Mr. Bowen; and, consequently, tere was Do one te contest his Tight to eceupy the office of the Mayor. Tt seems to me clear, therefore, that if I had Pei mitted those police officers to remam at said door after my attention had been called to their presence there, under the same instructions Which they had received from the re iring Meyor, the responsibility for their presence there snd of their acts under th: structions would have fallen upon me alopr, aed that 1 could not have iransferred the responsibili'y to the retiring Mayor, or pleaded his requestor directions in extenvation. If I bad, urder these circumstances.jprevented the Mayor elect Tom en.eripg his of wherever he thought Prorer to doso, it would have been parely an exere’ ¢ of arbit on my part, and, to my mind, clearly indefensivle and impossi- ble of justification. Two or three days aiter the transactions uar- Teed atove, I was no.ified by the Mayor, Mr. Bowen, that he anticipa'ed (Prt the outer door of the west wing of the Ciiy Hall, and the doors lerding to the Council Chambers would be forcibly entered by certam pereons, -omeof whom were recognized us members of the By virtue ofhis office, as MAyor of the city, and by authority of ceriain gentlemen, whow he recoguized as presidents, respectively, of the Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Council, and im whose custody the Council chambers were at prope _ Lee No upon me to protectthe public property trom violence, aud the doors above referred to from being forcibly opened.

With the foregoing statements I respectfaily nbmit the matter to your consideration, and fr such action as you may deem expedient. A.C. Ricwarps, Major and Superintendent. P. 5.—Since writing the above, Juage Fisher, sitting as Judge of the Cirenit Court, decided that Mr. Bowen is de facto Mayor ot Washing- ton, and that he must be recognized as such, not only by the court, but all officers of the law. I mention this as, indirectly, a judicial indorsement of my acts in the matters ia ques- tion. A.C. R.

When the letter of Mr. Wallach was read, Mr. Bowen stated that the allegation was untrue. Subsequently Mr. Wallach asked Mr. Bowen whether he stated it to be untrue. Mayor Bowen replied that he had said tbat the statement as in the charges was an un- wuth, whereupon Mr Wallach struck himon the face with the pack of bis band, and was immediately Ovrand.
