Childs, Feq., prop etor of the Philadelphia Ledger, is in town, and is being made much of in prominent circles. Last evening, Mr. Childs, Mr. A. 'T.

Worpen, U. has been in Europe for some time past, arrived here this morning, having been ordered to the Superintendency of the Naval Academy at An- napolis, Maryland, to sueceed Vice Admiral Porter, now on duty at the Navy Department. Commodore Worden was at the Navy Depart- ment to-day, and had interviews with the Sec- retary and Vice Admiral. He will take charge of the Naval Academy early next week. &CommissronERgDELANo, it is stated, favors the re-enactment of the income tax, which expires by limitation June 30th next, and if he shall re- fer to the subject at all in his forthcoming re- port, it will be to recommend the continuance of that tax. He believes that ultimately the tax ‘on incomes and tobacco and whisky should form the basis of the entire income for internal rev- enue for the support of the government, and this bejng established, taxes on other articles to a large extent can be dispensed with. ELSEWHERE will be found a letter from Gen. Balloch, giving a correct version of what trans- pired at the interview with Mayor Bowen in re- gard to the case of the admission of the colored girl Martin to the public schools. It will be seen that the Mayor did not say that colored children must be admitted to the public schools, but did state that in this case the child having been legally admitted and recognized asa pu- pil, she could not, in bis opinion, be expelled without a violation of the rules. SonETARY BovTWELt to-day directed the Superintendent of the Treasury Building to al- low persons in to see heads of bureaus in the Department, after office hours, when the per- mission of the bureau chiefs be given for such persons to be admitted.

Vemeln Ordered to New York Harbor. Other Naval Movements, Activity at the Navy Yards, It isrumored that our Government has re- ceived information to the effect that Spain has ordered several war vessels to rendezvous otf New York city, and color is given to the report by the fact that several vessels have been or- dered to New York harbor by the Navy Depart- ment. Orders were this morning telegraphed to Commander Shufelt, of the Miantonomah, to proceed immediately to New York and report to the port admiral there. ‘The double turreted monitor Miantonomah is of the most formidable iron-clads of the Navy and has recently been fitted out at the Philadelphia navy-yard,and her officers have reported on board for duty. The Terror, another iron-clad of the same class, has been fitted up at the Boston yard and her officers have been ordered to reporton the ist of De- cember, Commander G. M.

A telegram was received at the Navy I ment this morning, from Rear Admiral ( commanding the New York navy nouncing that the Spanish gunboats in that port had been turned over to and placed under the surveillance of the United States Marshal, and therefore the navy had nothing further to du with them. Great activity prevails at all of the navy yards in the country, and every vessel which has been laid up or out of commission for some time past is being rapidly fitted out and prepared for sea. The second class screw steamer “Alaska,” recently bailt at the Boston navy yard, has been thoroughly prepared for sea and put in commission. Orders were issued from the Navy Department yesterday, assigning her officers, Commander Homer C. Blake being placed in command. It is said the Alaska will be ordered to join our squadron in Spanish waters immedi- ately. She was fitted out and put in commisaion sooner than it was at first contemplated, the Government being impelled to hasten her off in order to be prepared for any demonstration which might be made by the Spanish authori- ties.

Letter from General Rallech. “This morning Miss Noyes, in company with General Balloch, waited on the Maj porto gethis ‘opinion in reference to the case. Mayor mn took sides entirely with Martin, and informed Miss Noyes that Martin could hold her respon- sible before the law for refusing to admit the child and hear her recitations. He talked very plainly about the matter, and stated that the colored children should not be excluded, aml that in this particular case the teacher havin, accepted her asa pupil, she should not be tarn out. He consured the ‘course of the sub-board, in notgiving such instructions at once. “Miss Noyes, in justification, claims that she has acted throughout strictly in accordance with instractions of the trustees. The Mayor dis. sented from the instruetions given ker by the trustees in this case, and took sides entirely with Martin, and in favor of admitting the col- ored children as well ax the white to the public schools. Mr. Judson $. Brown says that the teacher, Miss Noyes, has done her ditty in fol- lowing their instructions, and she is supported in this by the Supefintendent, Mr. Rich- Editor of the Star:—Dear Sir: The above, cut from your paper of yeste aing so many misstatements of facts that Lit my ask vou to correct it.

He disclaimed fully any author- ity over the teachers, more than once de- clared that he had no power or wish to remove any of them, they being. entirely responsible to the Board of Trustees, by whom they were ap- inted. He did say Mr. Martin had told him that he had Miss Noyes that he (Martin) should hold her responsible before the law; but Mr. Bowen gave no opinion in relation toit. Respectfully yours, Gro. W.

The spinal column does not appear to have been wounded at all. McFarland, whoshot Richardson, was arrested on the corner of Sixteenth street and Irving Place, and was taken to the room of the wounded man, who fully identitied him as his in. assassin. A few years ago Mr. Richardson became ac- quainted with Mrs, McFarland, who was then ing at the Winter Garden Theater, in New k.
