Mirick, tone Mr. Lioyd submitted @ minority report ‘om the committee on teachers, recom- nding the reappointment of Mr. J. E. Tompson as principal of the sth district, for the following reasons:—Ist. His long and efietent services in the public schools of the city, embracing a period of more than twen- ty-seven years. 21. The parents and citizens of that school district, with few exceptions, strongly desire and recommend his reap- pointment. 3d. There are no substantial complaints of his school administration in the district; uo charges emanating from pa- rents or pupils, and in the absence of sach charges, sustained by ample proof, we de- cline to concur in his removal from these schools. While we readily admit the legal right of the board to omit the appointment of any teacher proved inefficient, long estab- lished usage, beginning from the very foun- dation of our school system, has established the principle that teachers should not be changed except for manifest neglect of ener principie must necessarily make our teacherships public offices, places of political patronage, the end must corrupt and demoral- ize our whole public school system. Mr. Lioyd, in connection with his t, presented @ petition of tue teachers the sourth district, (with the exception of oneor two who are not in the city,) asking Mr. Thompson's reteution, testifying to his uni- form courtesy, long experience, and the wis- dom and ability which have made the schools a success. He also presented a pa- r endorsing Mr. Thompson, signed by a arge number of ex-Trustees of the Pablic Sct ools, and @ petition of over one hundred leading citizens of the fourth district warm- ly urging Mr. Thompson’s re-appointment. Mr. Lioyd said that gree omnes show Mr. Thompson's standing, and there are now no charges as to ineflicieacy. It was only last * bis colleague (Mr. Champlin) said ihat he was one of the best teachers In the District. 1t would be wrong to virtually dis- charge bim without a hearing, without gi ing him an opportunity of making a defence.

The Convocation of Washington met at Rock Creek Church on Wednesday; Kev. Meyer Lewin, D. D., dean, presiding. Rt. Rey. Wm. Pinkney, assistant bishop of the Glocese, and about thirty ministers and lay delegates from Washington and the adjoin- ing counties were present. An eloquent ser- mon was preached by Bishop Pinkney on the necessity of female education. A business meeting followed, and a collation set by the ladies of the parish was discussed. On Thursday, after morning services, Rev. Dr. Stanley, of Trinity parisa, Prince George county, Md., delivered @ historical address on the growth of the church for the last two bundred years in this partof the country, more penalty confining bis remarks to old Rock Creek, whose centennial of the present Walis was then being celebrate!. The frame church was built in 1719, The address was a work of much labor and research, and will be a very valuable paper in the archives of the convocation. After the business meeting the clergy ard visitors again repaired to the rectory and partook of another bountifal collation.

He asserted that the fight was @ personal one and claimed that of thosé who bad signed Mr. Cowle’s peliiion (to which only 19 names were o> Vained in two days), nearly every one had some personal feeling against him. Mr. Johnson asked if Mr. S.J. Thomson was not a teacher in the schools in ’69-"10, who resigned becanse he did not wish to serve under colored trustees’? If so, he did not wish to vote a gentleman into the posi- tion which he was opposed to holding. Mr. Brooks said he would not vote against Mr. Thomson, even if it were proved tnat he resigned because he would not serve under colored trustces, for his »pplication was evi- dence of returning reason. Mr. Detrick moved to nority report. A ee le Mr. Dyer moved that the nomtnations for the first district be referred to tae commit tee on teachers. Agreed to. To fF ations of Miss Faunie E.
