He bad told Packard that the relations between him and Champlin were of a personal charac- ter, having nothing whatever to do with the schools, and he irded the conversation as private, and M: ‘ackard a3 a friend. He made noremark as to spending $500 for any such purpose. He may have said that he believed if Mr. Champiin continued to mis- represent the schcols, the ple of South Wasbingtou would effect his removal. He may have said that he would not be spariug of money to disprove any faise allegations which may be mate against him. He meant by this not buying the influence of papers or editors, but by buying space for repiies to Cuamplin’s false- hoods. Champlin had said to a friend of bis eighteen months ago that there would be afuneral some time and it would not be bis, and he supposci that that was a threat. He did not say that he would use money to get Mr. Champlin out of office, and did not reco'lect saying Anything about blacking beots, for he was not in the habit of speak- ing that way. When speaking of Champlin be was generally excited, and the general sentiment of the remarks orrespoudei with nis feelings. he would not deny that. Pack- ard, in that conversation, said he last year bad voted inst him (T.) on the represen- lations of Mr. Champlin—he not then know- ing him (T.)—but he (P.) had changed his mind. He looked on Packard at the time of the conversation as @ friend but was satis- fied now that bis —- frleudship was jusecure and that be drew him on. His (T.’s) meaning was that he would not beg oe at the hands of Champlin. E. r. Lioyd submitted a letter from Mr. J. . F.

Mr. Thompson was questioned about his connection with building asscciations, with @ view of ascertaining whether his duties in them interferr 1 with his school duties, and he explained that although secretary of taree associations, by having much of his work «one by his daughter, his school duties Were not interfered with.
