SunNeRr’s Mixep Scnoor Biit.—In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Sumner again introdaced his bill to secure equal rights in the public schools of Washingten and Georgetown. Ik provides that the Board of Trustevsot colored schools shall be abolished, and that ihe duties of that board shall hereafter be exercised and per- formed by the trustees of public schools for the cities of Washington and Georgetown, or by such potons as have official control of the pub- tic schools in either of these places; but no dis- tinction on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude shall be made in the ad- mission of pupils to any of the public schools under the control of such trustees or other por- sons, or in the mode of educationor treatment of pupils in such schools; and hereafter, instead of separate tunds there shail be one common fand in these cities set apart and devoted to edu- cational purposes in accordance with thir act. The name of any child applying for admission to a public school, and of every person applying for service as a teacher, shall be recorded tn the order of application, and acted on accordingly; but there shall be no preference among appli- cants on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, nor chal! there be on this account an diftere: in the grade or compensation of teachers. All the Provisions of the act shall be applicable m, all respects to the beard Of commissioners of private schools of Washington county, D. G if any trustee, commissioner, or other person having control of the public schools shall violate any of the provisions of the act, or attempt s0 to do, is official powers in the premises shall ipso facto cease and be vacated; and it shall be the duty of the proper persons appointing sach tras- tee, col ner, or other person, to supply the vacancy with as little delay as pos<ible, and in such appointment there shall be no distinction ‘coupt of race, color, or previous condition itude. And any person exciuded from val —— secured, shall be entitled to recover damages therefor in an action on the case, the action of a child to be brought by a person duly authorized to sue in behalf. ferred to the District of Columbia Committee. Not To Be Sovy Ovt.—After a careful in- vestigation Solicitor Banfield, of the Treasury department, has come to the conclusion not to levy upon the personal effects of either Marden J m, who were lately arrested ou the charge of embezzlement. Both of them lived very plainly, and it is thought that their howse- hold effects would not together bring $1,000 at a public sale, tosay nothing of the legal ‘excm tion. (It is therefore not deemed advisable to distress their faunilies tor the sake of recovering afew hundred dollars. Setu Jonnson, late Treasury clerk, who was committed to jail a few days since charged with embezzlement of public money from the Treas ary Department, was bronght before the Police Court this morning for the purpose of giving bonds for action of the grand jury, but the partics offered not being satisfactory to the court, he was recommitted to jail.

Smith had before him a case 1 attracted considerable interest. A white man, Lemuel Laus, was arrested by officer Dins- more on the complaint of Geo: giana Chapman, a colored woman, who char, that he is the father of her illegitimate child born in August lust. Mr F. H. Day appeared for the prosscu- tion, and Mr. W. D. Hughes for the defendant. The prosecuting witness, who is very black, and who from the manner in which she handled the youngster ‘bright yellow boy, seemed accus- tomed to ies, testified “dat Lem was de fodder of de chile.” The testimony of other witnesses, however, threw doubt on the positive statement of Georgiana, and the justice think- ing that there was too much uncertainty abou the matter dismissed the case. ee SETTLED aT Last.—A requisition for $17,- 003.17, the proportion of the sehool fuxd due the colored schools, was yesterday presented to Auditor Richards, bearing the signatures of Henry Johnson, presiient, and Charles King. of the Board of Trustees, certifying that amount to be due and unpaid, and Feduesting the same to be made payable to the order of Chas. King, treasurer. ‘ichards endorsed the requisi- tion as follows: -* Approved in accordance with the instructions of Governor Henry D. Cooke, as required by the concurrent resolution of the Legislative Assembly of the District of Colum- bia, passed December 5, 1871.” To-day a check tor $7,000 wasissued by the Com to Mr. King, and countersigned by the treasurer.
