Interview of Representative Citizeus with the District Commissioners. janization the School ener a aiieaeeeiiate ee This morning & large delegation of promi- nent citizens waited upon the District Com- missioners to present the views of them- selves and others as to the conduct of the public schools. Among them were the fol- lowing well known gentlemen: Dr. J. B. Biake,W. A. Cook, John T. Given, Jos. Shtl- lington, A. . Piliiog, . Holmead, F. J. , WwW. maith Joseph Pearson, Dr. J. R Riley, G. J. Jobneon, J. W. 'e Cc. Duncanson, W. M. Morrison, J. L. Baroour, E.G. Davis, M. W. Gait, W. M. Shuster, 'T. L. Hume, F. Hume and otbers. DR. BLAKE'S REMARKS. Dr. Blake first addressed the Commission- ers. pomene Pee they were no doubt person- ally acquainted with all the delegation, and Were doubtless aware that there is a great Geal of dissatisfaction in this community now in reference to school matters, espe- — in the school district south of tne old canal. This dissatisfaction was mainly in consequence of the removal of a gentleman who bad been connected with the scnools since his youth—a@ gentleman whom they ded as being the head of the present item and who for nearly thirty years been @ successful teacher, with no complaint sgainstiim. They felt mortified and bumiliated that one who had done s> much for the schools aad so satisfactorily performed his duties should have been so summarily put away. Avother subject of regret was that in the board of trustees the ‘pelligence of this community had been reflected upon by a Mr. Hovey. Talis Taatter Was @ local ove until it was insinuatel that the people of this Dis. irict were not jualified to administer their own school affairs, when the fact is the people of the District are the authors of the system. Some of these trustees do not rep- resent the people, @nd are not in sympathy Witb them, and the Commissioners can very readily perceive that they (tbe trustees) at jeasi should have respect for the people, and not insult them. He was sure that the great mass of the people of the District were rep resented by this delegation, and that the sentiments which he had expressed, and Which would be expressed here by others, Would be endorsed by them. After referring to the epithet used by Trastee Hovey as to Mr. Given, avd paying a high tribute to his (G.’s) character, Dr. Blake said that the idpguage used Ws @ gross @nod in‘amous slander, COL. W. A. Cook next addressed the Commissioners, and sald the subject on which they had called was of the greatest importance—the education of children—and while he was an outspoken partisan, he was in favor of the subject be- ing 8lways kept aloof from politics, as being above ali politics—placed in a higher realm, out of the reach cf y Strife. Incidentally he referred to Mr. Given having a few years 3 been @ candidate for the mayoraity of asbiogton, and heo| him. and doubt- less he (Cook) aids some extent to de- feat him; but he would say that Mr. Given came out of that canvass with @ character Unsullied, and from what he knew of him, be was the last man to suffer vituperation The schools in the District area sudject of contention, and Mr. Thompson had been re- moved. He (Cook) had but little acquaint- ance with Mr. Thom; » @Dd pro! to say nothing for or against him. This dele- gation bad consulted together, and it was @pparent that the interests of the schools could be best subserved by 4 REORGANIZATION OF THE PRESENT BOARD, and they would suggest that the Commis- sioners select an entire new board and ter- minate the controversy, and he did not tuink that aught else could accomplish it. THE FOLLOWING LIST OF SCHOOL TRUS- TEES he would submit for their consideration: — First District_R. Reyburn, L. Clephaue, H. A. Willard. Second District—W. H. Clagett, W. R. Woodward, Gen. W. H. Brown. Third District—Dr. 8. A. H. McKim, Dr. Joseph Walsh, Hon. William Williams. Fourth District_W. J. Stephenson, J. T. Cassell, W.H. Crook. Fifth District—J. H. Wilson, W.L. Dunlop. Sixth District_Henry Nay- lor, E. J. Middleton, jr., P. L. Brooke. Bev- enth District—Henry Johnson, P. Ryder, Dr. C. B. Purvis, W.H. A. Wormley, Frederick Doug!ass, sr. Out of these there could be selected a board who would give their time and attention to the schools, and be bad no doubt but the effi- ciency of the schoois would be under them largely increased. He called the attention of the Commission- ers to the fact of several of the present board being clerks In the government departments, Messrs. Detrick, Randolph, French, Moffat, Packard, and Brooks, and asked if they, ac cording to their oaths of office to serve the government, could give to school matters the time and attention necessary. There was bo difficulty in procuring competent trustees, gentlemen whose business belouged to them, and who could and would devote their time and attention to the schools. He did not wish to be understood as having an: Rersonal objection to the parties he named. ‘ne simple proposition is, will the Commis- sioners, without delay. terminate the con- troverry, leaving Mr. Thompson out of the question, for this is not in his interest, but in the interest of the rising generation, and ebildren of those present are interested too If the board is com; ot a class who will listen to the traduction of eharacter the Commissioners should see if they cannot bring up the board toa higher plane. MR. JOHN T. GIVEN next addressed the Commissioners, remark. pg that bad he known remarks would have been made as to him, his absence would bave been easily accounted sor. In his opin- lon, fully nineteen-twentieths of the com- meeting in South Washin, » because be bad spent 80 much of bis life there and had £0 many friends there, that he had an inter- est In the matter, and be went as a specta- tor.

In this meeting be was on unexpectedly, and mm some remarks commenting on the action of the board, but he had given no cause for any one to Le Ct ary to bim.

He bad made & distinction between what ma; be called the old fogies and those who hi come into their midst since 1860, which was upfair and undeserved. While many of the bew- comers were pores of whom any com munity might well be proud—men whom we bad welcomed with open hands and hearts, and who have become closely identified with ‘the interests of the District—it was unjust to thus take the credit 5 We bonor them (the new-comers) and the a which gave them birth, and d te any attempt to draw a line of distinction. The community had been libeled, and they resented it. Let itemanate from whatever quarter it may, they would resent it. In —— = = Lo moog ® Kacy Lehr gend fay, in the lang ath, “Entreat me not to leave thee,” ee. ; Mr. Cook suggested that the Commission- ers might suspend any action of the trasteea as to vacancies, until they looked iuto the matter.

Nichol- son. The contestants, all athletic young men and thoroughly skilled in boating, were dressed In pants and tight fitt! woolen sbirts and eae in geod condition. The rules. improvised for the occasion, were that the skiffs should be ranged in @ line twenty feet apart in the channel off the boat house, the signal of starting to be the di ofa gun, when all could make thedistarce round the buoy just below the arsenal! point and re turn the best way they could. At the hour pamed all took positions, and at the signal, .38 they shot off, Luckett ahead in which position he kept throughout the race. The skiffs rounded the buoy as follows: Mary, £4; Anna, 5.1X; Fannie, 5.24; White Lily, The home stretch was quite exciting, and before the wharves were reached the Fannie and Aunie weakened and fell astern of the other two. The Mary shot in ahead, amid the shouts of the multitude. The ‘ivals Were @s follows: Mary, 37% minutes; Annie, 394; Fannie. 41; White Lily, 434%. Mr. Luck- ett received the prize, #10. THE TUB RACE caused much merriment. The contestants were H. Barron, with his tab “Wide Awake;” B. Quinn, with “Good Idea;” Chas. Galway, ‘Gutter Snipe;” Walter Fisher, “Tony Pastor;” Frank Lomax, “Blue Bird;” David Jenkins, “Let Her Go;” and Thomas Schafer, “Siren.” Quinn toppled over at the start and fell out. The others skulled along in crooked courses, sometimes whiling around and keeping their occupants lively in preserving their balance. The thing became very much mixed, as many of the outside boats closed in and cut off the vision, bat Mr. Jenkins got the lead and maintained his position across the channel and returned. The «Wide Awake” followed close behina, and Mr. Jenkins received the $5 prize. ———— os Washington Grove. After the Camp Meeting. CAMP NEAR GAITHERSBURG, MONTGOM- ERY COUNTY, MD., August 23, 1876.—The camp meeting is ended, and all is in @ state of confusion. The la majority of the tents are struck and fold to be used again until next sum! ‘he people are scattered all over the grounds; some of them busy packing away their things, and the sound of the hammer as it rings through the Woods is very doleful. A number are at the depot, preferring to wait there until the train arrives that is to bear them sag 4 from the scenes of the it two weeks. Already the place has a dismal look, so much so that som of the families who intended remaining over until after the jubilee to morrow changed their minds at the last moment, and are busy getting ready to go with the multi- tude. The only family that I know of that remains ts that of Mr. Richard Willett, who spent several weeks on the ground before the commencement of the camp, and he only remains till to-morrow. A large number are expected to be present at the jubilee to-mor- row. Down at the depot the scene is a busy one. Baggage of all kinds and description lies scattered over the entire ground, and the members of the committee on transportation busily engaged in me the freight rs. A jarge number of the tenters left on special train this morning at 10% o'clock, and the remainder on the 3:14 p. m. train. Everybody scems to have been pleased witha the Arrangements this year, and al- though a vote of thanks was not offered the committee, yet the general verdict was one of approval and commendation, and nearly all, if not all, return to their homes feeling better and happier than when they came. Several take home children who have been cobverted this year, and tneir hearts are full to overflowing. There seems to be a new Interest taken in this grove; feveral gentlemen within the past two or three days have settled upon Sites on which to erect cottages. Mr. Wash. Williams pro) to erect a cottage for his family, and bas already selec his site. He has also promised to erect a building to keep his furniture in, provided the associa- tion grant bim asritable location. Bown of BRE these buildings he intends shall be noted for their style aud beauty. Mr. Boyce, of Proviaence chapel, has also selected his site, end intends butiding th's winter. So tha’ next summer we may expect quite a num ber of handsome cottages. And now one word as to catering. I Would be better in future if each charge (fol lowing the example set by Union chapel should have its own caterer. It is provabis the dissatisfaction which prevailed this year Would thus be avoided. There was a lively foot-race at one of the photographic galleries during the early part of the camp. The photographer, it appears, bad been “indisposed” for several days and Was unable to attend to business.

Caterpillars. Editor Ster:—-1n one of your issues of last week you stated that these troublesome pests were not as numerous this season as Usual, and attributed the cause to their destruction by the English sparrows. My experience is otherwise, and any person who bas the care of shrubbery will, I feel assured, attest the fact that they are not only as numerous this season, but, i! ible, more destructive than usual. In addition to the gardens, the shade have suffered ai greatly, some of them being deprived of their entire foliage. Until those having charge of toe young trees on our streets gave their attention to the ravages of the cuterpiliars during the last two or three weeks, numbers could have been seen entirely enveloped by = a and most of their foliage de- stroyed. I must again differ with you in regard to merits claimed for the English sparrows. From bg Angee I am forced to the con- it they much prefer grain to in- sects, and am strengthened in this opinion from watching them attentively the past three seasons. If they are insectivorous iney belie their name; for they (from my observa- tion) will leave the shrubbery entirely, and seek the streets and house lots for other food. In addition, I much fear they will eventu- ally, from their belligerent nature and rapid increase, drive our sparrows and other in- sectivorous birds away, and prove, instead of @ blessing, @ curse to our gardens. 0. ———— Saas THE COURTS.
