Smith odvred the following: ‘* Whereas. it ig a sacred duty of ey- ery citizen to guard with zealous cate the inter- €st of our public schools; and whereas the course of one of the trustees of colored schools, in the board, las marred the peace and harmony of the same, and — confusion into the schools: Therefore resol » that we, the par- ents and citizens of Washingion and George- town, bay tom interested in the educadon of the children ot our cities, do hereby express our gratefol appweciation for the? igh siale of efi iency and vad rogress of the colured «cools for the past wkoo year, notwithstanding the obstructive course pursued by one of the trus- tees. That in view of the excellent condition of the schools at the close of the last school year, we tender our thanks to Messr=. Jones and Aing, trustees, and to the superiniendent, Mr. G2or, F. T. Cook. and teachers generally and individ- lly, tor their earnest and disinterested labors for the welfare and advancementof onr children. ‘That to the superintendent and teachers who by the vote and intluence of said trustee (who owes bis position @s such to bis employment in the ottice of tne appolnilig power, aud not by the hes of the citizens,) have been summarily ‘smpissed without cause, we extend our heart- yimpathy, mingled with our grateful appre- ciation for their past services, which are now so rudely aud upjustly denied to us, knowing well es we do that their insulting dismi<sal was the result of perropal malice and vindictive spite. ‘That we, the parents and citizens, the parties mo:t directly and fom interested in tue fa- ture welfare and conduct of said sclools, do most respectfully and carnestly memorialize the honorable the Secretary of the Interior to re- quire the immediate resignation of Mr. William Syphax as a trustee of colured schools, whose pest and present course in the Board of Trus- tees of colored schools has been and con- tinues to be obsicuctive to the progress and best interest of the schoo's, and whose knowa incompetency and geuveral tliterativeness ren- der him wholly untit fur the position.

Cook said that he had beld his peace heretofore on the schoo] ques- tion, as it might be charged that he was person- ally interested. But now every one knew that what he had at heart could only be the interest of the schools, and no —— Motives to satise fy.

He wanted the friends of the colered schoois to show their con- sisteney by supporting and encouraging the public sehovls,and not send their children to the white schools. He wanted the Board ot Trustees of Colored Schools to be abolished, and hoped the people would continue to agitate the subject until Congress assembled, then pe- tition that body for its abolishment, and then their children could attend the white schools. HOW THIS MEBTING WAS CALLED. Mr. Archibald Lewis here explained that rep- resentatives trom Georgetown and from every | ward in this city had met at his house ani | determined to call this meeting. His children attended a school, and made such progress as to show the fact that their teacher could not be excelled. Still she had veen remo,ud. He was & property-holder, and was taxed for the sup. port of the schools, and it was to his inter: st ty see that they had goo. teavhers. UNPOPULARITY OF SYPRAX Mr. Anthony Bowen caid, no m. of Mr. Syphax, there were not could assert that he was popular 43 a school trustee. Besides, the people had a right to complain when the trustees went out ot i the city to find a competent person to saperin. tend the schools, when there iwere plenty in ow qwidst competent for that daty. He knew tha: Mr. Cook was a gentleman, and wholly compe tent to superintend the affairs of the schools He wanted the colored people ty defend and protect their rights. There was no rubbing out that there was proc crip.ion on account of color, even among the colored peoy'e. What wos the use of dodging the question? A personal feud existed in the First Ward among some of the leading friends of the colored ‘soko Is, and he did not know but what that arose from too much authority, for the First Ward sccmed to have all the appointments. The Seventh Ward, although poor, quite as much taxes as the First Ward, and yet there was but one teacher in the Seventh Ward shat wos a resident of that ward. THE RESOLUTIONS ADOrTED, Eugene Johnson here attempted to get the oor, and w@ reading the law providing that the teachers’ appointments expire at the end of each scholastic year,when he was cried to from all sides to ‘sit ‘own:” and the entire ceries of resolutions were adopted, and the meeting ad- journed. —— The Courts.
