Baker, in on — a m, mor the committee to investigate the matter of the publishing of a card in the Loudoun connty papers by Messrs. Biedler & Barrett, in which this firm claims the credit of com- pelling the exchange to reduce the commis- sion rates, made a report that that firm had been notified to meet the committee and compare rates of commission with the ex- ehange, to see whether or not the rates ha! been reduced. The card referred to ts as follows: “We would call the attention of the farm- ers of Loudoun county to the following card issued from our house on Augnst 2, 1575, and to our subsequent action in the Board of Trade on Augrst 5. so that they may s°e for themselves and be satisfied as to whom they are indebted for a return to lower rates of commission. BIEDLER & BARRETT.” Mr. Ream continued, saying that the cart ™:! ted the facts, as any ore could see by ooene ae rales. No reduction bad been made whatever, except on calves. Mr. Jones thought these gentlemen had Fight to advertise as they thought Proper, LL THE COLORY_D PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ‘The Truste:s Ne Right to Bay Reni |, Pow<r of the District Commissionc os Over the Trustees. Opinion of Attorney E L. Stan‘on, The opinion of E L Stanton, att rneg for the District of Columbia, in arawer to a communication from a committ ge of colored citizens to the District Commyxsteners, re- specting the colored schools, by sald Commissioners, wi' a the mest to answer certain interrogat’ ans tn connection therewith, has been rec aved by them. To the first question as to W hetrer the Trustees of Colored Schools “hr the power to pur- cease sites for School. aaases, oF real estate for any purpose, .e im their te or- ganisattons and befor: the consolidation of the several school beards,” Mr. Stanton states that the first statute relating to the ay 2ist, of the rauntetpal authorities Washington and Georgetown to set cent. of by pervone of color for the purpore oF hattiae by persons of col © of Initia- tae system of primary schools for colored chitdren. The second tion ides “that the Boars of Trustees of Public Schools shall bave control of that tnd, to be Kept as & fupd distinct from the general scbool fund, oe suitable rooms and teachers.” he third section gave to said board the same power end supervision over ti sehools for colored children as Were exer: 4 by that beard over the previously existing public sebools by virtue of the laws and or. vinances then im fo.ce. The determinatio 1 of the question as to whether the law gave the trustees the power to purchase sites fur schools or real esiate, bas an important bearing upon the answer to the ieqeiry nr specting the ect, of the Board of Trustee: for Colored is, which wax afterwar 5 ercated. The power to purchase real estu'e for colored echools was not given by the Ubird section, for that gives the board, as re- | spects colored schools. oni: and functions which the the same powers sessed in respect to public is for white chil- ¢ren. But the rd of Trustees for Public Sebeols did not then, nor does it now, posse: $ the power to purchase sites for school hous: 3 for white children, except in special instances in which the authority was given by legisia- ton. ‘Tbe second section of the act cited gave to the trustees ‘sole control” of the school fand for the education of colored children, to be kept distinct, &c. So fer as inference is to be drawn from the latter part of this section, Congress did not intend to invest the board with a general power of purchasing real es- tate, but of providing rooms. # * * Sole control of a fund given to an individual or ecmmittee or beara does not lnvest thedenee with authority to buy and hold the title to real estate. It has never before been sup- posed that such an enactment gives to the official or boacd named the power of buying and bolding real estate, songs: the title thereto in their own name or that of the United States. Persons capable of reesiving @ grant of land are either natural persons or corporations. This board was not a corpora- jon, and under the act it must be held that he Boards of Trustees of Public Schools of Washington and Georgetown were not vest- ed with the power to take a grant of land. The next statute upon the subject is that of July 11th, 1862. By this the powers given by the act of May 2ist. 1562, were transferred to Daniel Breed, S. J. Bowen, and Zeuas C. Robbins and their successors in office who were created @ beard of trustees of sehoo!s for colored children; the term of office pre- Seribed and authority to fill vacancies given to the Secretary of the Interior. This law does not given any additional powers. It — merely as @ trausfer of authority. be act of July Lith, 1862, did not constitute the Board of Trustees of Colored Schools a corporation with general corporate powers incident to such @ corporation. Our laws are fall of instances of persons clothed with corporate powers for certain special and ex- pressed purposes, but having in no other respect the capacities ineident to a corpora- tion. See Jaci vs. Hartwell, 8th Joho- son 426. 7 * 7 The next statute Is section 18, act of Con- — of June 25th, 1864, which increased the ind of ten per cent. by repealing the pro- vision of the act of May 21, ixéz, and setting apart from the whole fund received from ali sources for pu: of education such a pro- portionate rt as the number of colored children between the ages of 6 and 17 years bears to the whole number of such children in the cities of Washington and Georgetown. This operates merely to providea larger fund for the education of colored children, and does not change the powers of the trustess. Next comes the act of Congress of July 23, 1866, which directs that section 18 of the act of June 20, 184, shall be so construed as to pe meee payment to the Trustees of Public Schools of part of all moneys received or ex- pended for sehool So in Washington and Georgeiown, inciuding the cost of sites, buildings, im»ncovements, furniture and books, and all other expenditures on account Of public schools, in the proportion indicated in the former enactment; that the money shall become payab'e to said trustees on the Ist day of October of each year, and if not then paid over shall bear ten percent. interest perannom, and be recoverable by the trus- tees in an action of debt inst the said cities. * * * So far as the authority of the trustees is concerned, the act of July 1566, only adds to their former powers the right to maintain an ection of debt as stated. As respects this addition of the right to sue, it is pertinent to state that in England church wa.dens mpy take goods and bring actions of trespass, brt a foeffment to them would be void, for they have no capacity for Such @ purpose. Other examples are cited. The only remaining statute is the act of March 3, 1873, which changes the organiza- tion of the tees, to be appointed by the governor, but hedid not think they had acted as gen- tlerren shonid do in the exchange; but as all were bound to charge the exchange rates or resign, roaction was necessa:y,and he moved to lay the report on the table. Mr. Janney opposed this action, for tho Teason that these gentlemen had ‘been re- quested to meet the commitiee: but as they bad not noticed the action of the exchange, he hoped something would be done. Mr. Hoge was of the same opinion. Mr. Jones moved that the report be received and the committee discharged; adopted. The Teport was then laid on the table. —e—— CERTIFICATES OF INCORPORATION.—A certificate has been recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds incorporating the In- dustrial Life Insurance Company of Wash- Jngton, the capital stock of which is fixed at $50,000, divided into 500 shares of $100 each. The affairs of the association, which 1s or- ganized for the purpose of conducting a life insurance business, are to be conducted for the first year by nine trustees, as follows: — Cnarles Kennedy, J. G. Payne,’ F. W. Jones, R W. man, R. A. Morrison, J. F: Rider, R. J. Jobnson, F.J.Knight'and A. The existence of said corporation is fixea at fifty years.

Tne exis- tence or absence of tuat authority is left te depend w the anterior statutes already cited, and especially the act of May 2ist, 1862. It is said that former boards of trus. tees for colored schools have actually par- chased real estate and taken conveyances to themselves as trustees, and that school buildings have been erected upon the ground thus bought. This does not affect the ques- tion of construction of the statutes apon the subject, nor is incapacity of the trustees purchase real esta: only trouble as to the title to some of the Property which has been thus bought, and on verments which valuable tm) erected requiring |: ‘ * *. To the drst i iry Mr. Stanton an- swers “that in my opinion the Trustees of Public Schools had not the power to pur- chase sites for school houses or real estate for any purpose while in their separate or- ganization and before the consolidation by the Commissioners of the District of Colum- bia of the several boards of school trustees. As to the statemeut that this construction of the enactments denies to many colored ebildren school privileges; the trustees of public schools are also without generai au- thority to purchase sites for schools for whits ebildren. and colored children, and in the-other, legislative authority is required, but in the meanwhi y be The second question is, “If they had this power, was it effectet by the consolidation, or did it << re eee Lyng Answer is rendered unnecessary by the re- sponse to the first one.

She lays her damages at $10,000. — AN TrLFGAL SEIzcRE—Constable L. J.

The defendant (Eliza Rawlings) has only #150 worth of furr iture, inelnding the machine. She should have at least $300 worth of property before such proceedings could be instituted against her. Of course the case against Eliza Rawlings was dis- missed. Constables should not take advar~ tage of their power to treat the poor and de- fenceless In this manner, and there shou!.t ne some redress where they exceed their author- ity. ——————— SUDDEN DFATH OF A PROMINENT LA Y¥R.—Clifford Arick, a well-known lawyer of u city, and for the last six months President of the Oakes Ames Manufacturing Company, of Chicopee, died suddenly at Poughkeepsie, N.
