Mr. Lawrence moved that the teachers be em- weed, with the consent of the respective sub_ boards, to d'scontinue drawing. Mr. L. said that in his district drawing was to a great extent a failvre, and it interfered with other studies. Messrs. J. S. Brown and Richards spoke of the importance of drawing; referring to the necessity of the pupils being educated to become artis, and take the places now almost entirely filled by fore‘gners. It was urged that there was no compulsion to teach drawing, and Mr. 1. withdrew his resolution. Mr. Richards spoke of having found that num- bers ef children had been suspended from the schools, and also referred to the fact of some of the teachers closing the door on tardy pupils. He had made iffquiry into the cause of suspe sion in some cases, and thought that they were insufiicient, and reterred toacase where chil dren not having a mother’s care were frequent- ly kept out of school by this custom. Hv sag- gested that some reform might be made iu tlas particular. Mr. MeLecllan referred to the rule as to tardy Perils, and spoke of the experience of teachers in the Second District, where there was very little tardiness now, owing to a strict enforce- ment of the rule.

The triends_ and enemirs of the bill were before the Committec: ot Congress, and each side had been heard. The indications were cheering. He said, of all the frivolous and nonsensical talk he had eve heard, the remarks of Key..J. Sella Martin w: the most absurd. He (Martin) had stated before the committee that not one of the advocates of the territorial measure wasa radical Republi- can. ‘Thus he went on in his style of preaching. ‘There was not one of the o pponents of the b with the exception of J.

[A voice— rebel.”] Bowen knew him as well as he did when he appointed him as Corporation Attorney. Bowen had told him sv, said he could not help himself; he was obliged to appoint him—bit he had no conti. dence in him, and it was very distasteful for him to have to consult with him upon p01 measures. Cook’s political days were also nuin- bered in this city, it was mere apparent every jay. M Crossman sald he would like in this car gn to avoid all personalities, but it was dif cult to speak of the many frauds of t Corporation without associating them with their FOMINEH' actors. Many presen worked ard to put these men in power, and now when we see these fraudulent and irregular practices we must speak of them. When honesty ceases to be a principle of the Republican party, he. for one, would have to leave it. He was sur- prised ta hear Mr. Cook's remarks before the committee of Congress. Mr. Riddle had always been foremost in the Republican cause here, and Gen. Howard too. Who has given the col. ored men more work, or labored harder to advance their interests, than Gen. Howard? Yet they were denounced by W. A. Cook before the committee of as Democrats. He wished the colored men would remember these things. In regard to this Territorial govern- ment, he favored it. It gave them more rights. It was opposed by these office-holde: nse: rs they thought their chance to hold was in it able, with danger. He thought they were all their charges, to drive Gen. Howard and Mr. Kiddie into t tic party. Mr. Cook's claims to represent the Repubiican party and the Central Committee were no claims at all. Mr. Crane, MeCoy, and himselt were mem- bers of that committee, but they were never notified when the committee meets; they did not = Lelong to the Cook ring, and were therefore denounced by them as copperheads. Win. A. Freeman, of the First Ward, said he came here asa spectator. He was a member of the Invincibles, but he was not prepared to make remarks to-night. Amos Hunt said that this small light, Cook, had been put out by the decided snul 5 | that the distingnished’ Chairman of the Senate Distriet Committee (Mr. Hamlin) had given him. (Laughter.| He was surprised that an efiort should have been made by this great Re- ublican with the jailor of this city, and the ‘resident of the Goard of Aldermen, who sus- tains his decisions by his own vote [laughter toj undertake [to ppose the right of self- government. The Kev. Sella Martin’s oppo- sition to this government wes that it had an aristocratic squint. Was the extension of the elective franchise an aristocratic movement? This was a new idea to him—an absurd idea. He hoped they would hear no more of this tool of Sayles J. Bowen. But he thought, after all, that Cook’s remarks there had done the bili good, for his purposes were transparent to the committce. Bowen's satelites had put forth the statement that there had been more improve- ments in the city during his administration than ever before. But they don’t say that the taxes were now £1.50 where yeara ago 50 or 75 cents was the highest figure the le were taxed. ‘What was the programme his understraps had been practicing? Why employing one set of men a week, then chai ig them for another set, and paying them off’ in orders. (Laughter) David A Fisher said he wished this meeting to denounce all such men ascharged Judge Fisher, Gen'l Howard and A. G. Kiddie with being cop perheads. Mr. Lewis Cle said he was decidedly in Congress. He had helped favor of the bill re to frame the bill, and he could assure the citi- zens that it had been done witha deal of eee fended ie the oe ies of the bill haa it exten enemi of willfully misrepresented its character.
