THE PUBLIC scHOOLS. ‘The Case of Principal Thompson. ‘Laat evening the sub-comm'ttee on teach- ers of the white schools of Washington and essrs. Randolph, Dyer, Ho- and Moffat—at the Franklin Lenses, Boo the case of Thompson, principal ot the ere Were quite jaring career as & in acted 8 prosecuting si so much bitterness to elicit much remark in the room. Considerable discussion first too! Sie were ope: trict by tne sub- = of that district; Mr. in the con! board and Champlin taking one side itro- | versy, and Mr. ‘Thompson and Mr. Lioyd the otber. Mr. B. #. Packard, (trustee,) was placed upon the siaud by Mr. Hovey, and testified that be bad a conversation with Mr. Thy It bad been brought to his attention that there was & rumor that some unpleasant. ness of a business character had taxen piace between pa a and himself. He ad- dress¢ 1 & note to Mr. Thompson, stating that such & rumor was afloat, and asked for an expression of bis feelings on the subject. About a week after Mr. Taompson calle on him and made a verbal dental that any such feeling exisied,and they then spoke of the matter vow in band, when Mr. Thompson made some not very complimentary remarks as to Mr. Champlin. He was about to reai the remarks from mauoseript, when — Mr. Lioyd objected to the witness proceed - ing, and asked if this had any bearing upon the question of the care of property. This Was a private conversation, and he could not see what bearing it had on the case. Mr. Hovey claimed that it was discourt- eous after having granted Mr. Packard the privilege of giving bis testimony for the committee now to withdraw the privilege. Mr. Lioyd moved that Mr. Packard be not allowed to relate a private conversation unless ithad @ bearing on the question at ussue—the care of school property. Mr. Moffatt asked if the evidence had a bearing on that point. Mr. Hovey said it hei no bearingon the int, but the committee having eS r. Packard the ——_ of giving his tes- timony bow they should heer him. After discussion, the motion to postpone the evidence of Mr. Packard was aloptet. Mr. Randolph, the chairman, here stated that the committee had decid: 1 to visit the bu'idings, and they were now ready to hear Mr. Thompson. ‘Mr. J. ‘= Thompon, principal of the fourth district school, was sworn, and after reading from the rules as to the duty of the superin- tendent to report any dereliction on the part of @ teacher to the board, be asked tne super- intendent if hehad ever so reported nim. Mr. Wilson replied that ne bad never made r. Thompson for any cause worthy positions, ‘abd asked Mr. ia if he bad ever had occasion to report im. Mr. Lioyd answered that he never had done 80, nor did be ever bave any oceasion. In his judgment Mr. Thompson was a success as @ principal. Mr. Champlin replied that he never re- ported Mr. Thompson, for it would have only made trouble, and it would have been hot for all concerned. Mr. Thompson said that he had discharged all bis duties conscientiously, and had been led to believe that all concerned were satis. fied with his administration of the affairs there. When he would invite the superin- tendent to visit the schools he would reply wat he was satisfied that everything was going on well. About six weeks after the re- orgapization of the board Mr. Champlin was appointed, and for some reason he refuse to have any intercourse with him (witness.) He did not know what reason Champlin bad for this course, but it left him but one trus- tee to go to foradvice. In regard to the ape- cific matter under examination, the condi- tion of the buliding, he had asked the inspec- Ucn of the buildings, and the committee on Ppioperty had made @ 1eport thereon. That Teport he endorsed except so far as it inti- mated that he had not been frequent in his inspections. Before the building was com- pleted he bad objected to the location of the closets—12 in pnumber—being placed two bundred feet from the building, and from Unis fact it was exceedingly difficult to detect the boys in any delinquency. They (the closeis) became in bad condition, and Were not sufficient for the pupils, and the patent heppers were introduced; but the first winter they froze up, and the boys, in at- tempting to turn on the water, broke them. Mr. Plowman, inspecto* of buildings, at his suggestion, inspected them, and caused a tough to be put in. This was not a failure, but a stronger force of water is required. If the janitor was present more during the day Ubere could be more oversight over tue clo.- ets. The janitor hes other business—as con- le aud collector. He was appointed a Foliceman to guard the property beture the efferson buliding was erected, aad also act. ed as messenger, and when the building was completed he was regularly appointed the janitor. So far as remaining about the bullding to wateh, he could not, for he had other business. Mr. Parker hai been very usefal looking after truants, recovering lost bcos, &c, Mr. Lioyd.—From 9912 and 1 to 3 he js transacting business of his owa as constable and collector. Mr. Thompson continued his statement saying that the very report now being used &s ep indictment inst him he cured. He explained that in the Greenleaf building the teachers had been in the habit of going home to their meais,and there being no play round the pupils were allowed to take the! voehes in the halls, and crponing, pe rr, &c., op the floor had it e hai cajled on Jackson, the janitor, in reference to it, and he (J.) had scoured it,and the walls were blackened. He had also requested the teachers to prohibit the pupils from eating their dinners in the building, and monitors Wwereappointed. In both the Greenleaf and Potomac buildings the water closets were Inedequate. There were three seats and a urinal for 120 pupils at each, which was not sufficient. In regard to Mr. Detriok’s testi- mony &s to the closets he would state that he the witness) hai called the attentionof Dr. eene, of Health, to them, and he declared them in bad condition. y ablic of: rere mya was held there every Friday t, and for the past or four years on every Monday morning there were complaints — pupils (sometimes a zen) that their ks were out of place and there was tobacco juiceon the floor. For the puipose of ascertainiag whetner this state of affairs was not caused by the de- bating society he had suggested it they ory ey rcom,the large ha!! for instance, but he was overialed. “He had observed on the desks the prints of heel tacks made by the bo: tanding on them to light the gas. He had called the attention of Mr. Cham- lin to the name of one of the boys of the Sebatin society written on a desk. Mr. Champlin replied, “Your boys do just as bed.” So he recetyrd no aid from him. To clineh the matter as to Parker's refusal to scrub the ficors he called his attention to the condition of the floors in the presence of Mr. Champlin who said, 7 meetin; baving met in the evening, tobacco spitile was fovnd on the floor in the morpiag. He had noticed or been As to the condition of the desks in his room, he would say that they are in an anusaally good condition for desks for it or more years. Mr. Champlin acknowledgei that the desks were ip good condition and had ip _use for twelve years. Mr. jpson resuming said, as to the black! there was seous a rae ot made when a fue was patio bay a = jomp - son about the i7th inst. as to school matters. of losets was due to the absence of the janitor. Mr. Hovey said the insufficiency of the Privy ai would be Mr. Randol) ed Mr. Thompson how juently he Visited the water closets? r. oe Lied two or three times per day at Bf and two Mr. Thompson explained again that tha closets were too far from the buliding, and he had urged that closets be put in the bulld- —> the ane Story for the up stairs sel "s—and that closets be assigned to tas different schools. Mr. George White, of the firm of White & , iron founders, was then sworn and tes- lifed that he had twosons in Mr. Toomp- son's school, aud after gon | the report of Mr. Detrick’s evidence he had to-day visited the roo! and was surprised at the condition of the rooms and furniture. He ‘Sought that $30 would eoeeie all the farni- tore. There were no spit balls on the walis, but the black boards wanted repair. Toe damage to une black boards was caused ap- parently by shrinkage of the wood work over Which the plastering was laid. Toe*water closets were entirely inadequate and were too far from the building. Witness had visited the school one Saturday since the closing, and found tobacco juice on the floor, #nd the schools then had not been in session for some days. Mr. Randoiph asked how many boys were in the debating soctety. E. D. Wright, a member, answered 33, and 6 use tobacco. Mr. Ambrose H. Stephenson corroborated Mr. White's testimony. Mr, Thomyéon said that young Nolan, of the debating society, admitted to him that he used tobacco, and named E. D. Wright as one among several who had used tobacco at iis meetings. Wright denied that Nolan had said so, and remarked that he was autuorized by Nolan to Fo state. Mr. C. 8. Noyes testified that as long ago as while the construction of the Jefferson bulld- ing was in progress, Mr. Toompson, in the presence of himself and Mr. Champlin, ex- pressed great solicitude about the water closet Srrangements as being jnsufficient and in an inconvenient position. So re- atations and urgent were his represe’ n the matterthat Champlin, who growler. peak of hisown know! dition of the building now. He had resided in the fourth district for twenty years. and until the last two years, and his children had attended the schools of that district. Mr. Thompson, in his opinion, was unsur- passed 48 @ teacher, and his pupils always Stood high at colleges and in business pur- suits as being thoroughly well-grounded in their studies. Witness thought that Mr. Thompson's cast of mind ought to render him & good executive officer; and be ranked him as a disciplinarian, in the best sense of the word, not in the way of formal military drill, ——— the time that should be given tostady, but in the way of putting the boys on their self-respect, and learning them to think and act in @ manly way. Dr, James E. Morgan testified that twenty or thirty years ago he was a trustee, when Mr. Thompson was appointei—then a young man, They had then misgivings, because he was so young; but he surprised them, for he took the school, then composed of about 20, greatly demoralized, and soon doubled the number, and would have in- creased the number still more had there been room. He was ambitious and devoted, and witness regarded him as a natural-born er, possessing the faculty of imparting kpowledge Jn an unusual degree. In Souta ‘Washington, where he (witness) hada large Piactice, there was universal appre- ciation of Mr. T. as a teacher. He was a most popular teacher, respected and vener- ated more than any other man in his profes- sion. The citizens of the fourth district were greatly astonished that the charge should have been made. r. Wm. B. Evans, formerly a trustee, testified that he never noticed any unwill- ingness on Mr. Thompson’s part to executs the rules, and be, as also Mr. Champlin, bs- Hevea that he was too strict. He coisidered Mr. Thompson's school as one of the best conducted. He considered Mr. Thomp- son not only the best teacher in Wash- ington, but in the country. He had never got up @ petition for Mr. Taompson’s removal. but had had somedifficuity with him. He thought that he was too harsh, but Was satisfied that he (witness) was wrong and he Fad been sorry for it since, for It had been proved that Mr. Thompson was right. This Seneany Was occasioned by ‘Sr. Champlin. By Mr. Hovey.— Witness did not transfer his cbild to the first district for want of con- fidence in Mr. Thompson, but because the boy wanted to be with his cousin, and he did bot want Lim to attend @ school visited by Mr. Champlin. Mr. Evans was proceeding with some re- marks in regard to Mr. Champlin, whea tee of | Cbhamplin’s) ‘tr. Evans, after @ rebuke to Parker for his officious and Seenere interference, proceeded to give the history of his dificulty with Champlin, and cited the ‘of the school board to show that Mr. Champlin had been convicted of making charges against him, and had, by unanimous reso- lution of the board of trustees, been re- quested to resign. Mr, G. F. Me. formerly @ trustee, tes- tifed that he was in Mr. Thom; 8 school the day before the last competitive exami- nation in grammar, and examined some of his a, who did remarkably well. He re- garded Mr. Thompson as an excellent teacher, although he did not agree with Mr. Tnompson on some school matters. Tne — bah ge logy moe pee el emselves and not on books. There is less rigidit; and more seit reliance and self-government than he had observed in oA thie point Me. Thompson said that 11 At this r. pon said tha: bad been intimated tnat the teacners had been coerced into signing the petition for his reappolotment. He would say if any one can prove that he had mentioned the sub- ject to a teacher he would sever his connec. tiou with the schools. Mr. Lioyd said that Mr. Thompson knew nothing aboutit. The fact is a young man in his (Lioyd’s) office conceived the idea and took the Paper to the rs and every one who could found signed it most readily, and those who were absent at the time havé asked to have their names added. Messrs. E. D. Wright, W. FE. Toomas, and Miles Fulker, members of the debating so- clety, made statements in regard to the use of tobacco in the debating society. They said that six members, including Trastee Champlin, were in the habit of using tobac- €o, but that they did not spit on the floo: They thought that Mr. as boy: were trying to blame the debating society for what was done by the pupils of the Mr. Wright replied that Harry Clark and Everett Lioya chewed tobacco. z Mr. Thomson said that they were not in the school at the iootag cee.

Tne chair replied that the fact of his being an Irishman was of itself an element of eligibtl- ity, and he was invited forward to sign the roll, which invitation he accepted. DE. CULVER’S RESOLUTIONS. Mr. C. P. Culver submitted a string of rea- olutions favoring the election of Tildea and Hendricks on the platform of reform, and recognizing it “aga matter of great imp ort- ance toourselves, as well as to the country, that we should have here at the seat of gov- ernment a recognized daily organ of the respectable size and edited with great abil- ity.” MR. WHITE HAS A LEVEL HEAD. Mr. E. E. White sew no objection to adopt- ing the resolutions, but what use are they? Capital is what is wanted more. It takes money to run @ newspaper, and he ventured to say that they migut get up a subscription per @nd canvass the District and they ‘Would not get $500. | Mr. Culver replied that he had more than that amount promised already. DR. MARY WALKER SAYS THAT WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WANT IS WOMEN. Dr. Mary Walker, who had been sitting In the rear of the ball, advanced up the aisle And advocated the adoption of the resolu- d_ submitted a printed slip clipped from ‘t. Louis paper, which she stated containcd @ radical plot tocarry the next Presidential election by fraud and ecorrup. tion. She wished it read by the secretary, who B carmae ad to read a sensa.ional sketch by @ Washington correepondent, of an allegc 1 scheme to secure the electoral vote. At the conclusion of its reading, ou motion of Dr. Culver, it was referred to the executive com- mittee, with instructions to report at the next meeting. DE. MARY WALKER FAVORS THOROUGH ton! WORK. Dr. Mary Walker then made a set speech in favor of thorough democratic work in the next cam: feared that with the paign. She 94,000 office holders with their tricks the democrats would not succeed without extra- ordinary efforts. In all great schemes the brain of woman must be engaged. The great success of the republican party in this coun. try was due to woman's co-operaiion. With- out woman's heip the democrats would fail. There are €0,000 women workers who are sick and tired of the republican party. At the Cincinnati convention @ straw plank had Lense ro in the platform with the hope of wh jog women into the cause, butit was too thin. If the democrats are wii Wide awake they can mrreo right into the White House. [Applause | DR. MAKY WALKER HAS BEEN SOLICITED! She brd been sollcitc1 by the republican ests | to work and labor in its inierest and vad been offered $100 per week, but she could not be bribed to work for a party which ig- vores the rights of her sex. The resolutions of Mr. Culver were adopted, Mr. A. B. Warren submitted a resolution 1n approval of the course of the democratic Congress in its efforts to inaugurate re- irenchment and reform in government ex- penditures; adopted. Adjourned. —~o—— The Treasury Robbery. HALLECK’S BAIL REDUCED. Benjamin B. Halleck, it will be remem- bered, was some months since convicted of the larceny of #47,096.65 from the Treasury department, and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. He was subsequently graptea @ new trial. Yesterday, his coru- sel, Gen. Henkle, applied for @ writ of ha. beas corpus, with a view of obtaining a re~ duction of bail from $12,000 te $8,000. The writ was granted, returnable forthwith. Shortly after 3 o'clock the prisoner came into court, accompanied by his counsel. General Henkle stated to the court (Judge Wylie) that the prisoner had been in Jail one year this montb; that he had no friends who were property owners, and that his wife hei veen —s faithfully to secure his release upon bail. He hop 1 that the amount of bail would be fix: 1 by the court at some reasonable sum. The prisoner, he stated, from weighing 136 pounds, had been reduced in weight, since bis confinement, to 93 pounds. He was recently found lying upon tne floor of bis cell unconscious. He unaerstc od that the prisoner would be abi to give bail in tne sum Of 28,000, and he felt assured that the prisoner had no intention to leave the city. Mr. Childs was offered as bail. Mr. Wilson, who appeared for the govern- ment,stated that he was not disposed to stand upon technicalities, but he hardly thought the amount suggested by General Hinkle was sufficient. Judge Wylie said that if the case were now beJore him for the first time he would regard $8,000 as insufficient bail. He remembers the Kind of evidence upon which the prisoner ‘Was convicted, namely, the confessions of oso improperly obtained, and he hardly a there was any other evidence u hich a j could find a conviction. 1e Prisoner been in jail a year, unable to “ive the bail originally required, and if the bail offered was goci, he would reduce the amount to $3,000. —-——_ Wo: ship im the Woods.
