A communication was received from the District Commissioners enciosing a copy of the resolutions adopted by # meeting of citi- zens of South Washington, and presented to them yesterday, in relation to the case of Mr. Joon E. Thom . The letter requests the trustees so make, as soou as practicanie, any statement their boird may be pleased to make to the Commila*t mers ia relation to the subject matier of the resolutions, add- ing: “The Commissioners prefer to deiay any sction in the premises uotil they shall near from your board.” Mr Browr moved to re‘er to the committee ob property. Mr. Brooke moves to amead by inserting @ special comnilitee, and Mr. itebell moved to amend the amendment by adding and they be direcied to report to-night. Mr. Brown urged that the board make a thorough answer to the resolption. The whole bonrd bad been arraigned, and the charges should be refuted for they were en- Urely false froma beginning to end. MR. HOVEY IS NOT ASTONISHED. Mr. Hovey said that a very coagiderable Portion of the resoluti had been foreshad- owed in tbe Investigation, he was not at ailsurprised. It was tn evidence that if Mr. Tbom pron was not bp ag Mr. Champ- Mn’s head would be off in ten days, aod barely seven days have passed when the ae in motion to accomplish that, and he (Hovey) is to be removed also. They had been notified that if they did their duty they wonld be removed. Mr. Thompson for once told the truth, and now we see the attempt to change the order of things, and the teachers are ic be given power to appoint and replace the trustees at pleasure; the teachers are no longer to be under the trustees. Referring to Thompson's state- ment that he bad not bought ‘Up newspapers, but intended to Duy “pace tn the papers, he said he bad for weeks been Peo he dys- tic column of THR STAR filled with vile atlacks on members of the board, on bim especiaily, as some of the work of this party. The public knew nothing about the controversy because these one-siaed articles. MR. HOVEY’S OPINION OF DISTRICT PEOPLE. The fourth district should not attempt to rule the third district, for they had enough todo @t home, and, judging from the pro- ceedings of thelr meeting, being unable todo their own blackguarding, they imported one Jobu T. Given. He (Mr. G.)¢! ed that all the in the schools was owing to the old revolutionary times, but he (Mr. Hovey) de- Died it, and s@id that it was uot until 1860, when @ better class of peopie commenced to settle in the District, that schools com- menced to improve. The speakers at that meeting used the choicest bilingsgate. He iid not know Mr. John T. Given personally, bat be kvew him to bea Liackguard. Asa | defence of the action of the board, it was only | necessary to refer to Mr. Taompson’s letter, for the charges there made againi Mr.Cham, lin and himself were false aod untrue in every particular. As to the fairness of the pers, the carefully prepared statement of ue Champlin bad nel been published, nor could its eee ve obtained, while on the other hand Mr. Thompson's card govs to | the public, and it was enough to condemn him a @ teacher. (Tt is sufficient answer to this to say that | no statement of Mr. Champlin’s waa sub- mitted to THe BTAK publication office. If it had been tt wonid bave taken precisely the sam-> course as all simtinr niatter.! MR. HOVEY MYSTERIOUS. Continuing, Mr. Hovey said, tual instead of Bnding fault with the board, Mr. Tuomp- for not making public ali the facts which bad come to their kuowiedge—facts which, | if made known, would cause Wem to Cow their heads, It bad been charged that he (Hovey) acted a8 a public prosecutor, but reference was not made to Mr. Lloyd, who bad acied as the counsel for the defence. Mr. Champlin Was not present 43 @ prosecutor, and it was necessary for some oue to draw | out the evidence by questions. i HOVEY ACKNOWLEDGES THE CoRS—oF WAS IT HARLEY BsEW! As for the mapuer in which the lquor drinking was proved by aim, he couid oniy say that he could not have acted otherwis-; and altnongbh it implicated himself, he did not hes: tate to let it alicome out. Wile 1c may not bave been the proper thing for a trustee to drink, yet he was nol a motel. HOVEY DEFYING THE LIGHTNING. With some warmth Mr. Hovey defended bis ection, and said it was urjust toattack bim, and an outrage upon him, but he could siand it. Why did they uot attack Mr. Lioyd, who was just as active on the other side? They ask that Champlin and the eleven who voted with him be removed because they bad not seen At to violate their oaths. There was an undercurrent in pub- lic sentiment which would soon be felt, and people just as influential as the leaders of the South Washington meeting were begin- ing to express their indignation as to the interference of these @. In coaciusion, he said that the fourth district should not go beyond their district and interfere. o would not be influence: 4 by the action of any meeting in that district, vut if his people (those of the third district) desired him to va- cate he would do so. MR. LLOYD'S TEMPERATE REPLY. Mr. Lioyd, referring to the statements as to Mr. Noyes, said that but few men knew more of the management of the schools of the fourth district than that gentlemen, who needed no defence at his bands. As for the attack on Mr. Given, be would say that he (Given) Was too well Known in this comma- bity—scarcely a resident not knowing him rersonally or by reputation—-to require any vindication from any one. He (Given) had lopg been a resident of South Washington, and bad a perfect right tobe present. Mr. Lioyd repeated that Plowman had stated nol property pad been found at | Hunt's shop. As io the sentiment of the people, be asrerted that folly five sixths of | the people of Souta Wash'ngton were in Mr. | Thompson's favor. | Mr. Johnsen said that if the amendment Was adopted and any haste made in rep!y- ing to the resolution, the board would be charged with ‘The following were appointed: Messrs Moffat.
