The District Commissiouers yesterday for- warded to the Senate a reply to the resola- tion of that body as to any discrimination beirg made ip the government or regulat! of the pubitc schools Ip this District b those for the white and those for the colored ebildren, as stated in yesterday's STAR. The Commissioners forward the answer adopted by the school trustees last Tuesday evening, as reported in THE STAR, and say that the trustees in their management of the schoo!s, in the exclusion of ail discrimtnation be tween the white and colored schools, and the security to each of like advantages and dis- ¢ipline, bave acted in harmony with the Commissiovers and the well-couducted pol- icy of their administration. It was In part to secure this result more certainly, and with regard to the more economical manage- ment of the schools, both white and colored, that the Commissioners, soon after their en- trance upon their office, consolidated into the present board the several boards of trus- tees which they found in charge of the schools St that time.

A young converts meeting waa held evening at the Calvary Baptist church and it was well attended. Rev. Mr. Mason, the pastor, selected portions of ecripture on the subject of hope, which were read by parties in the audience and commented upon by Mr. Mason. A large number of the new con- verts related their experiences, and an in- quiry meeting followed.

Hammond, and on the latform were Dr. Little, Dr. Rankin, Dr. loble, Mr. Little aud Mr. Bentley. After singing, several short prayers were offeres kr. Bentley made a few remarks, express- ipg the pleasure he felt in being preseat: seemed to bim he was at bome. He re- marked on the work in Baltimore, that although the morning meetings were not well attended they were very precious, the caili- ren’s meetings for the first two weeks were well attended, and the evening meetings hal m crowded. and many had been blessed. Mr. Hammond left Baltimore this morning. He did not know that he shoald meet them again, but there was a place above where they could meet. He could best express his thoughts in a hymn, and going to the organ he sang ‘When we go up the golden streets” With visible effect as was evidenced by many moisteyes. Rev. Dr. Rankin read the bible M ten: lesson, the prayer of the Savior before his | ascersicn,and made some brief commen!s thereci?. Mr. Hammond read the request offered pray ous. and it was remarked that a large pro portion seemed lo be for entire families, and or nehing. Among nbjects were a strange hom il. “a dying per: boy at sea,” “2 wayward busband aslost all in th liquor business, and is being tempted to return to it,” and for “a twin sister dying of eovsumption who refuses to be questioned ip interest of her so’ A cheering report ‘Was made from the meeting at the Lutheran Chapel, on Capitol H 80 from the ov ecor meeting this moraing, and from a@ ser of meetings beld last night in houses in the northern part of the city.

Those who are least acqnainted with American wa: were particularly impressed with the mark- ed respectability of the crowd that came to- gether yesterday. Standing in the diplo- matic section of the grand stand, and look- ing out upon the vast sea of well-dressed mén and Women who listened with rapt at- tention, and what was better, with evident enjoyment and appreciation, to the perform- ance of the Thomas orchestra and chorus, a member of the German commis- sion, who has only been a few weeks in my life I have never seen so many of the bet- ter classes assembled at one time. We have very mistaken notions of you Americans.” Then after a moment’s pause he continued: “One thing I wonder at, however. You talk so much about your liberality to all classes, why have you to-day excluded all the poor | people? In this crowd I see nothing but the | lieh and very weil dressed.” I assured hia— 88 was the fact_that men and women from all classes were well represented in the | throng. This was, indeed, the truta. The multitude was made up ofall kindsof people. Rich men and women there were in plenty, | but there were also workmen and working Wornen; carpenters. shoe-makrrs, and black- smiths, clerks and salesmen, lawyers and | doctors and ministere, bricklayers and lager beer Saloon keepers, farmers and manufac- turers, were all mingled together in the good American fashion. When this became clear to my German intance he was almost beside himself with astonishment. ‘ What,” he said, ‘those welkdressed women are not all rich ladies; and among those men ali with cloth coats there are many farmers, stone-masons. and cobblers? Bat, where are your common people, ants?” “Weare all common peop! lied, “and we have no peasants.” Again e gentleman looked at that American | crowd, and continued todo so, shaking his head in amazement and mattering at inter- vals, ‘Der lieber Himmel, what a country!
