Too much of that had been done. Mr. Connolly said if the paper re- lated te Mr. Crossman’s removal ti aad noth- sg to do with the question before the Board, if it related to the nomination of Mr. Brewer it should be read by all means. Mr. Stewart characterized the removal of Mr. Crossman as unjust. tyrannical, and the persecution of an jnaoveat man, and a piece of spite work, a He (Stewart) giaumed to te as good a Republican as the Mayor, and so was Mr. Crossman. He(Stew- art) Was not willing to always follow a lead horse and be dictated to under the lash.

About foar o’clock the schools, marshalled by their teach- ers and followed by the Concordia Maenner choir, of Baltimore, entered the school-room. This musical organization is attached to tl Emanuel German Lutheran Church, of Balt Tore, and te under the leadership of Prof. «+. Stenger, who accompanied them here. The axercises commenced with vocal music by the entire choir of thirty male voices “To the praise of God.” After the singing by the choir, the Rev. C. Stuerexen, of Baltimore, read a bymn which was sung by the schools. Prayer ‘was then offered, followed by a sermon in the German language by the Rev Mr. Stuerken. Singing by the whole audience came next, during which tme® contribution was taken up for the benefit of theschool. Prayer and sing- tng then followed & short address in English by Frederick Schmidt, of this city, which was listened to with muck attention by all present, especially those who could not understand the previous exercises conducted in the German language. The Doctor explained why it Was that the Luther>™s could not educate their children in our public schools. It was ot altogether ss many suppose, because the German ianguage is mot taught there, the Lutheran parent desires hi children to = ues ja bon hota ny amculeate earl ty and religion in the minds ot thetr youth, amd develop the owers of the beart as well as the intellect. jueation, without religious instruction in the minds of our youth, was compared to the steamboat without 8 rudder, powerful, run- nin¢ at random, and dan; us to all coming in contact with it. The Roman Catholic, for like reasons, avoids the public schools. ‘The basis of all beneficent institutions of our land is the church—witbout religious traming of our you'h and institutions must decay. After the conclusion of this address, the schools sang in. The exercises closed with a chorus by the entire choir, in fine voice, after which all re- paired to the basement of the church, where a substantial supper wns prepared for the ben- efit of the new school. New patent schooi faraiture will be received in a few days. —_—eo——.

The Mavor was to be represented by Wm. A. Cook. Esq. Mr. Cook went to the committee room last evening to appear for the Mayor, and was told by Mr. Hall, chairmanot the committee, that he knew nothing of the summons to the Mayor by Mr. Holmes, and that the Mayor was not needed last nigat; therefore, Col. Cook took his jeave.”* Mr, Holmes denied the whole of it, and seid tbat Mr. Cook was not present, and his mame bad not been mentioned in the ineeting on the evening alluded to. ‘Major Hail, chairman of the committee, said the whole statement was correct. The matter bere droped. Now we bave not a particle of interest im the squabble about this dirt business, only so faras the public interest may be concerned, butas we elaim that the Stak is as nearly infaluble as any newspaper can be in its state. ments, we bave taken some pains to verify the particulars of the item above quoted, and find on reference to the documents . Ist. That the notice of Mr. Holmes to the Mayor to attend was not a summons tobe a Witness, but 8 notificats to appear with any witnesses he might have, before the committee at 7 o'clock that evening. 2d. That this notification was received by the Mayor at 2.55 p. m. of that day. ‘That the Mayer had previously addressed & note fo the chairman of the committee, stating that as it would be inconvenient if not impos- sible for him to appear before the committee on the occasion of its several meetings, he request- ed that Col, Wm. A. Cook might be admittea in Bis stead. 4th. That in accordance with the understand- ing that Col. Cook was to represent the Mayor he made bis appearance at the City Hall at 7 p. + Waiting the mesting of the committee. That be was there nearly an hour, and after the conversation with the chairman of the commit- be 1 members of the committee were aware of Col. Uook’s presence and can verity the fact, it seems si that Mr. Holmes should put bimself on the record after this fashion. It is amatter of no im nee, Dut we don’t choose that the Star's reports shall be contradicted after this flippant fashion. ———_e—__— Base BALL—Alerts (colored) v8.
