A meeting of the Jackson Democratic Asso- @abon was held last evening at Carusi’s Hall: the president, B. T. Swart, in the chair; V. UO Clayton, secretary. Mr. Ruthertord, from the committee to pro- eure speakers, reported that they had made ‘The WN: 1 ik Note Stealing Case. ‘The ¢xamimation of Georgeanna Schore naa, charged with aiding and abetting im the lar- ceny of 212,000 from the Unived States Treasary in May, I'0?, was resumed jhix morning at halt-past eleven o'clock, by Justice Walter, at Police Headquarters. Messrs. Burr and Norris appeared for the cution, and Messrs. Puillips and Perry for the defense. John Burroughs «worn: — Witness is employed in the office of the Comptroller of the Curreucy in the Treasury; is one of the custodians of the Vault. Witness deposited im the vault, on the 44th of October, 185, a package conta.ning $12,000; the notes were atimbered from 671 to 750. They were equally divided into $i0 and $100 notes, and were compiete, excepting no signatere. He withdrew the package April 11th, 1807, to Bave it counted; it was counted, sealed up again and placed inthe vault. Wit ness examined the package carefully and found everything right. No oue assisted wit- ness im withdrawing the packages trom the vault, and the annual examination at that” ume occupied six weeks. Had only the evisence of the lady who count- ed the notes that they were all there, Witness only loeked at the notes in the package to see that they corresponded with the endorsement satistactory arrangements to bave speakers every meeting night, and further, that they bad collected money enough to detray all expenses, Mr. Moses, from the committee to make Arrangements for celebrating the anniversary ‘of the adoption of the Constitution, September 17th, reported that the committee were still in conference, and moved that Mr. Polkinhorn be added’ to the committee; which was agTeed to. ‘Mr. Davis, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Jonas B. Ellis, each furnished $10 for the benefit et the ir urged members to come up ewise. tated that he was the only member of the Finance Committee available, as of the two otber members one was out of the city and the other very ill, and desired the committee to be filled up: which was done. Mr. Ells wanted to hear a report from the Finance Committee in regard to this hall, as he had understood that the proprietor, since wit- messing the large meeting of last week, had raised the rent. If so it was an imposition, and he. for one, would not sanction it by his vowe ©r action. Dr. Allen explained thet the Fimance Com- mitt would report next meeting night. Several gentlemen were then elected mem- bers of the a:sociation, amoug whom were Col. James McGuire, A. T. Cavis, George H. Plant. Nicholas Cailan. and Robert Bali. Mr. Fiynn offered a resolution that a Finance Commitire, to consist of seven members of this association, be appointed, of which the Presi- den: shall be a member. for the purpose of col- lecting money of the citizens of the District to pay for printing documents, to be distributed throughout the Union, and other expenses of the Presidential campaign: which was adopted, and the following committee appointed by the Chair) Mes ors. A. Rutherford, BT. Swart, J. W. Barker, J. B. Ellis, J.H. Goddard, Louis Schade, and jobn E. Norris. The Chair then Inid Lefore the meeting a communication trom the proprietors of the Aanwonal Intdigencer. the substance of which ‘was that they would furnish the association with the Campaign Intelligencer for $25 por thousand. While the Secretary was deciphering the communication. Colonel Me(Guire got imp: lient, saying, “Ob, red it: “let us have “what sort of way is that,” &c.; and the Secre. tary rejoined that be would like to see the an whe could read it Mr. Flynn moved that the association sub- seribe for 5,000 Campaign In cers, when some one moved to amend by including the Express and Caen 3 1 members Lere showed signs of dis- approbation, as the funds of the club were not ample enough for the purpose. ‘Mr. MeNerhauy then pitched into the Inke- warm for not subscribimg, and advocated the system of sending out documents. Dr. Allen did not want the gentleman to ar- Togate to himself all the patriotism and Demo- cratic zeal of this meeting ; he would have him to onderstana that he (Allen) was as earnest um the cause as any man could be. He (Allen) Was in the campaign of 1864, those dark days for the Democracy im this and during st time where was Mr. McNerhany? He never saw him then at the meetings of this associa. tiem. It was all very well to advocate the sub- scription to these Camp_icn documents, but the gentlemen pre-ent did not understand the condition of the trcsury of the association ‘This was advocated by men who had not seryed om cylmitiees Bere and who did pot under. stand—— Att, VeNerhany, excitedly —To whom does the gentleman refer! (Advancing towsrds Dr. Allen.) If he refers to me, I can tell him that while be was in the swaddling clothes of the Democracy 1 was a war-horse in the cause. Dr. Allen attempted to reply, and hoped the Matter would be referred to the Finance Com- mittee, when he was interrupted by the mem. bers calling to order: and in the confusion Col. McGuire got the floor, and said he did not be- lieve what Dr. Allen said about the dil» pidaied condition of the finances of the association. ‘Several membe! Order ! Order !* Col. McGuire. Who calied me to order !” Mr. Ruthertord.—« I did.” Col. McG uire.—« State your point of order.” Several members.—« Bath sit down: we have bad enough of it.” Col. McGuire was finally allowed to ceed, and said he hoped the fact would not go cut that apy one in that meeting had offered the shghtest objection to subscribing for five thou- and campuign Intelligencer's, as it would re- Mect on the Democracy of the bas fp He would rather have it ten thousand, made a mo- thon accordingly. ‘The whole subject was finally laid on the table. ‘The meeting was then addressed in forcible and eloquent style by Gen. Pitman, of R.1, and Francis McNerhany, Esq.: after which, the meeting adjourned. ponies MEETING OF THE GRANT AND Cot-rax CLUB.—Ata meeting of the Grant and Colfax Ctob, beid last night at Union League Hall, Wm.

In re- ferring to the political aspect of affuirsin the Instriet of Columbya, be said he hoped to see the Republican principle, the true Christian radical idea of the Kepubhican party, estab- lished in the heart of the city of Washington. He took an interest in the affairs of the District. and he wanted every loyal, true Republican to come out and meet those men, many of whom ‘Were fresh from the revel army. who were daily FunBipg over the streets of ‘ashington bur- rabing for Seymour and Biair. Iu behalf of the colored race, he said he was one who would contend for the mgbts of the colored man till the last, for the one who used the bul- Jet was entitled to use the ballot. The speaker wanted to see agrand and glorious organization of the Grant and Colfax Club in this Bistrict, and was one who would come forward and pay his part in support of the cause.

There were two separate vaults, only one of which was particalarly under the charge of witness; has no spe ial re- mMembrances of this occasion (the annual ex- ination 165) more than of any other occasion the kind. Two clerks who made weekly examinations of the vaalt were the first to dis- cover that the package was gone, on May Jd, 1667. . Mr. Burr asked the witness what was the condition of the wrapper when the package Was returned to the vault. Mr. Phillips objected to the question. and the justce sustained the objection. John M. Duncanson sworn :—Is teller in the National Bank of the Republic. A note was here shown witness, which he stated was pre- rented to bom atthe bank about two or three Weeks 8¢0, and he pronounced it unbankable. It was preseuted by a young man employed at Mr. Brett's store, and witness returned the note to the boy, as the signatures were not genuine. Witness does not remember. but may have said at the time that he thought the note was stolen. The reason he noticed the note particularly was the previous knowledge he had of notes of that kind and denomination having been abstracted. Frank Newton sworn for prosecution—Wit- ness is employed at Mr. Belt’son Ninth near F; has been employed there seven week: Furst came in the store one morning and 1 itness if Rutus Belt was in; and asked wit- ness It he would get the note changed, (identi- tied the note.)

(Cross- examined ) Mr. Belt was in New York at the time. Mr. Furst came into our store. Mr. Belt returned two or three days afterward. When Icame back from the bank I told Mr. Furst that the note had been stolen trom the treasury. 1 can’t tell how the lady was dressed, but 1 saw her face distinctly. I told told Mr. Furst that the note had been stolen, and that the signatures had been forged after- wards.

Purpose of the Pabiic Schools. Avevet 6.— Editor Siar> L bad always sup- Posed that the public schools were maintained for the purpose of instructing the children of the common people in the rudiments of edu tion in the most effectual manner possible for the means at their dispo-al: butan act of the Board of Trustees last evening, and the rea- sous assigned therefor, seem to indicate a slight- ly different purpose. The services of married female teachers are hereafter dispensed with.” This is the snb- stance of the law. This reason is assigned that married women have husbands to take care of them! So the Public Schools are becoming charitable institutions! Those who cannot take exre of themselves, and can get nobody to take care of them may find a home now in the Pub- Schools. Our echools were poor enough, hen, for the salary, as good teachers were elected as could be chosen, from a carefal oral and written examination. Even then, the younger teachers had to be brought up to the desired standard by lectures, normal schools ‘nd special aid from the Business Qollege in the teaching of penmanship. No girl enters teaching to make it a life basiness. She expects after two or three years, more or less, to mar- Ty. Few become good teachers in less time, aud the majority fre glad to retire as soon as married. The few who still remain in school after marriage do so because they hav. become goed teachers, and learned to like it better than any other business; but now, almost without Any notice, have been dropped to make room for new applicants who don’t know what else todo. Did any one ever complain that mai Tied women teach less effectually than sing] I have had a large experience in teaching, and have never yet heard that marriage tended to disable any teacher, either male or female, but have often heard the reverse. Single women are on the watch for a hus- band—otten up ll Tand3 at night, witha bean: not unfrequently entertaining them in school. and snatching as much time, in his or their absence, as possible to write billet-doux. None of these things is ever imputed to married teachers. But suppose it was necessary to get rid of the married female teachers—some twen - ty I jndge, in the eity—could not some mode be found by which the schools would not lose, se many of its most yalu- Suppose an act was passed that no young married woman should be here- Alter employed. and no lady teacher under 45, now in the Public Schools, should be retained no longer than she remained single. By such an enactment all the objects of the present law could have been obtained without the incoi Yeniences: witnout the irreparable loss of so many teachers at one blow. We see that J. O. Wilson, always tast enough, but always about right, recommended amore moderate way. Let the Board recon- sider.

Ping large quantities of ship timber to France a England After a few unimportant and short stoppages the cars arrived at the ead of their route, the present terminus of the road, amileand a baif above Leesburg, where sey. eral prominent citizens of the neighborhood joined the party. On the return of the t the excursionists visited Leesburg. The train arrived in Alexandria in time for the visitors from Washington to take the seven o'clock oat fet their bomes. They ali express themselves highly pleased with the road and {4 prospects, and from the capabilities of the country through which it passes, and the spirit of the citizens, thimk that the $40,000 requisite to carry the road to the Hampshire coal fields will be a paying invest. ment. During the trip the company, under the lead ot Chief Engineer Blythe, proceeded to look at the several proposed routes of the Georgetown connection. These rontes were as follows: The first leaves the Loudoun & H.R. R. at the old tactory 24 miles up the road from the depot in Alexandria, thence runs to the Long Bridge or Aqueduct as may be desired, and the first two miles would be common to both routes. The cecond route proposed would leave the Loudoun Road three miles west of Alexandria, at 4 mile Run Bridge, passing up Pleasant Valley through the suminit of the hill at James Koach’s late residence, thenc: skirting along the bill east of Arlington aud crossing the river at the Aqueduct bridge into Georgetown. The third route wonld leave he railroad the Loudoun Road about 5% miles westof Al- exandria, at Carlin’s Springs, thence pursting the valley of the run northwards, passing Ball's cross roads, then the valley of Little Pimmet Run to the Pctomac river, crossing at the Three Sisters. On this latter route 1 would be necessary. if adopted, to bridg« the Potomac atan elevation of about 6) feet the probable cost of Which would be about $600. The routes above mention have been critically examined by the Company, and they suppose that the jiiuction with Georgetown could be made at an expense of from two to three hundred thou- sand dollars on the first mentioned routes, oe A® AnpvcTION Oasx.—AL three o'clock yes- terday afternoon, Walter Adams appeared be- fore Justice Walter on complaint of Roberta Adams, charging him with assault and battery upon her child Rosea Adams, and with ai- tempting to abduct ber: and at the same time James Lee Adams and J.

The fbI- lowing statement represents the circumsiange. of the case as far as developed: 4 On the 2d of Inst May Mrs. Roberta Adams entered suit in the District Supreme Court for & divorce vinculo matrimonit with Jamesih. Adams, her husband, which suit is still pegd- ing. On the 2ist of the same month she lect her husband and two children, boys, aged _resppc- tively twoand a-half and four aud a balf years, and went to live at the residence of her paregts, who reside on I street, near 6th. Shortly after leaving her husband she attempted to take back the children, and bad been successful. in geting them on one or two occasions, but etch lime they were recovered by their ta.her, util Monday, the 17th inst., when she captured he younger of the two from its grandfather's r¢si- dence on 13th and Latreets, South Washington, ‘The father of the little child had endeay- ored to get it back several times within the past two weeks, but, as it seems, wes each time unsuccessful. On Tuesday last a brother of Mr. Adams saw the little one playing in the street, near the residence of Mr. Donalson, ‘where the mother was living, and took him up in bis arms to carry him away. Before he could get a square off, however, he was per- ceived, and two or three members of the fami- ly started in pursuit, and compelled him to de- liver up the little one. Findirg the attempt unsuccessful, on Wednesday evening another desperate effort was made by the father to ob- tain the child; so he stationed a party ot friends at good distnices apart, and stood ‘on the cor- ner of Fifth and I streets himself, sending a brother to the residence of Mr. Donalson with a letter, which he delivered, and after doing so caught up the little boy, who was on the porch atthe time, and made his way toward Sixth street. Some members of the family perceived the condition of things about this time, and took after the gentleman, who was met by the father of the child—on Sixth and I streets. The father with the child in his arms, ran down Sixth strert in hot haste, pursued by & large crowd of men and women, calling out “murder,” “stop thief.” “catch him,” &c., until he was forced to seek refuge in & boarding house, on the corner of Sixth and H streets, where some members of the family and the crowd took the child away. —-—_—_ ® Sorrnze.—Prof. Sheldon’s opening soiree at his new assembly rooms, is) Pennsylvania av- near 17th street, will come on Thum- ming next.

The plainiffs in this action allege that there is due trom the defend. ant the sum of 8% for wharfage on the Wasb- ington canal, and base their claim under the provisions of the act of Congress ot May 3, 132. The defendant, for answer, denies the right of the plaintiffs to recover, and further alleges that if they ever bad a right to collect wharf. age on goods landed on the canal, that tuey bave forfeited the same by failing to keep tue said canal in such order and condition as pro- vided by the act of May 3. 1832. The act approved May 3ist, 1832, “vesting in the Corporation of the City of Washington, all the righis of the Washingion Canal Company, and for ether purposes,” while conferring cer. tain Tights and privileges upon the Corpora.

B. Slowen, 11 Pennsyl- Vania avenue, from which I extract the follow- ing: “If he (J. H. Crane) be the party alluded to, his conversion to the principles beso loudly Yocates is of so recent a date that simply their advocacy would seem more becoming in him than his violentattack upon parties whose cousistent comrse needs no defence and de- fies the severest criticism.” “As to his ques- tion why Mr. Larman does not do thus and so, I cun only state that I believe he is better quali- fied to extend a sympathy to one who bell it @ necessity to seemingly change his views, than Lam, he having had experience in that line which I never had.” i call upon Mr. Wm. B.Slowen to state when and where I have ever gone back upon the principles I advocate, or have ever been any- thing else but an uncompromising Abolitionist. if L have ever voted with the enemies of Re- publicanism, (as he insinuates) or engaged in political huckstering with any party or parties, or upheld slavery, or prejudice against color, iu any way, either in church or state, during my entire life, let him state when and where. it seems from Mr. Slowen’s communication that Mr. Larman “believes it to be a necessity to seemingly change his views.” So it seems Alter having voted steadily with the Democrats for two months, he (Mr. Larman) has omy “seemingly changed bis views,” and Mr. Wm B. Slowen is the medium through which this important information is conveyed to the public. Mr. Slowen speaks of his “consti- tuents,” Tam not aware that he has any consti- tuents. Ikuow he had some last year, and that this year they nominated and elected a good Republican in his place, m spite of the threat he made to run on an independent ticket. Had they bave acted as wisely in regard to accepting the resignation of Mr. Larman, as im refusing to renomiuate Mr. Slowen, the “dead-lock” would not now exist in the Board of Aldermen. Whatever my faults may be, indulging in innuendoes is not one them, I will have no controversy with any man who resorts to such & mode of warfare I shall take no farther notice of anything that may come from sucha source. “ r H.
