The District Commissioners have received from the Board ot Fire Commissioners a finan. cial exhibit of that branch of the public service, showing that the Congressional appropriations leave but a small balance to be provided for by the District authorities for the fire department up to the Ist instant. It is to be hoped the long standing indebtedness to the firemen and to the other creditors, extending over two or three years, will soon be liquidated. THE CORCORAN MARKET. Messrs. S. R. Bond and C. J. Brewer, mem- bers of & committee appointed by the Northern Market Commission for the pur, }, accom- eS by Mr. Wall, of the commission, and ir. Plowman, architect, called upon Commis. sioners Dennison, Blow and Ketchum yester- day, and explained the origin of the commis- sion, the plans for the proposed market, the contracts that have been entered into and the reasous why the work has been delayed. The Commissioners expressed themselves pleased to learn the facts communicated by the commit. tee, and announced their intention to visit the market site and to become familiar with the laws and facts bearing upon the subject, and with their duties in connection with the same. AT THE RXECUTIVE BUILDING TO-DAY. The District Commissioners occupied the ex- ecutive building, at the corner of !7th streetand Pennsylvania avenue, this morning, and the crowd of visitors was very large, reminding one of the most busy days of the late Board of Pub- lic Works. The colored school trustees called about 10 o'clock, and were occupied with the Commissioners about an hour. Afterwards large numbers of citizens were admitted, hav- ing various objects in view, many of whom paid their respects and congratulated the Commis- sioners, particularly on their having the fands deposited in the Treasury departmant, which ‘sould have the effect of creating confidence. At 12 o'clock the Commissioners went to the Treasury to examize blank forms for requi- sitions, Kc., to facilitate the settlement of finggs cial matters entrnstc’ to tiem; after which, they visited the Columbian building, on 44 street, and held interviews with the District controller and other officers with a view to come to @ full understanding of the indebtedness of Lead and the work of the officers at that uilding. FINANCIAL MATTERS, The Commissioners this morning tendered the Auditorship of the District to Mr. John K. Gar- rison, who for some years past has occupied the forition of fourth class clerk under Controller ‘aylor, of the Treasury department. Mr. @ar- rison called at the Morrison butlding and spent &n hour or two in looking over the daties of the position, and holds the matter under advise- men ‘The Commissioners held & consultation with Controller Baker nearly two hours in length, in which arrangements were made tor the transfer of jali District moneys in the hands of the con- troller and deposited at the National Metropai- iten Bank, to the United States Treasury— Al out £105,000, They also discussed the form of Warrant to be “hereafter fifad by the contro'ler in drawing money from the United States Treasury, but will con- fer with General Spinner before coming toa final conclusion. The Controller exhibited the pay-rolisin preparation. It will be some days before payments can be commenced to employees. Mr. Moses Keily accompanied the Commiseioners. AT THE MORRISON BUILDING TO Day, considerable activity prevailed, ‘there being many callers. Lieut. Hoxie was carly on the round and busily engaged in the discharge of is multifarious duties. "He has determined to concentrate all the clerical torce of his office on the second tloor, taking the officers and clerks trom the rooms above, in order to turn those rooms over to the auditing commission, which Will occupy them. ‘The District commissioners lied at the building about i2 o’clock to-day, i made their first formal tour through the various departments under the conduct of Lien*.

Scharif soon took the lead and heid it for about a mile, when Brown overhauled him, and thereafter kept ahead until the end of the race. At the tarning stake Brown was about a boat length aheal, and during the first mile of the home stretc increased his lead several lengths. During the last mile, however, Scharf! made occasional spurts and slightly reduced the distance be tween the boats: but Brown had the race in his own bands, and came ina boat length ands half ahead in thirty-six minutes and fortystive seconds. The race was perfectly fair through out, and an honest trial of skill, in which Bro proved himseif the better man. A large amo of money changed bands on the result of tn race.

CoRPoRAL PUNISHMENT IN ScHOOLS—A Teacher Convicted in Jersey, or Beating a Puyt!— A teacher in one of the public schools of Union Hill, named Patrick O'Connor, was tried yes terday, in the court of sessions, at Jersey City, on the charge of nssault and battery. It appears one of bis pupils, a young girl, was conta macious, and not only refused to obey the teach- er’s orders, but called him a “damned whelp.”” For thig offence the teacher whip; her with a cane. Her parents went before the grand jary and bad the teacher indicted. District Attorney which abal ished corporal punishment in schools, the teacner was prohibited from chastising a pupil inthe manner proved, and in doing so he was guilty of assault and battery. Counsel for the defence, on the other hand, called on the jary to scout the case out of court, as a conviction under such circumstances would lead to serious trouble. It would establish a precedent that would inevita. lead to the disorgauization of the pubi schools. ‘The jury did not concur in his view of the case, however. Atter afew minutes’ absen they rendered a verdict of guilty. O'Connor Was remanded for sentence.—V. ¥.
