A meeting of the Jackson Democratic As- sociation was held last night; the president, J. E. Norris, esq., in the chair, and Mr. B. F. Lloyd secretary.

Wilson, to whom had been referred the sub; of the invita- tion from the Tilden and Hendricks Reform Club (programme attached) asking the co- operation of the Jackson Democratic Asso- ciation with the former in its pi ed demonstration on the 2th instant, made THE FOLLOWING REPORT: “To the Tilden and Hendricks Reform Ciub:— Whereas it appears from the pro- gramme submitted to us by the executive committee of the Tilden and Hendricks Re- form Club, and from an advertisement in the EVENING STAR of the 16th instant, that the Tilden and Hendricks Club has, without opportunity for co-operation on the part of this association, made arrangements for a celebration to be held on the 2th instant; therefore, resolved, that this committee deem it unnecessary to take any action in reference to said celebration, and respectfully decline to co-operate with said club in carrying out its arrangements.” Mr. Wilson made a brief explanation as to what led the committee to make the report, and read to the meeting the programme adopted by the Tilden club, made up with- out consultation with the Jackson associa- tion, and in which the latter were to take a secondary part throughout, when not ignored entirely. Some debate followed, the tenor of which ‘was in favor of the adoption of the report. On putting it to a vote the chair declared it adopted, and a division was called for, but the matter was dropped for the time being. BO CELEBRATION OF VICTORY UNTIL THE FIGHT IS OVER. Mr. W. Pierce Bell submitted a resolution “That in obedience to the wishes of our citi- zens whose interests are identical with ours, and in favor of peace and quiet in our city, we decline for ourselves to participate in the proceedings of the 29th instant, and that the executive committee of this association ex- press its dissent to any political demonstra- ticn at this time, and until perfect peace reigns throughout the land.” Mr. Bell spoke in favor of his resolution, and after a brief discussion it was ad .

At the time of its formation he had noticed some of their actions, and suggested to the members that a vo @ little too hasty in some particulars, but he had been overruled. It is true that that club had up a programme for this occasion, yet they do not wish to be considered as leading in the movement. A programme had been presented, but their action was not to be considered final. It had been submitted to the Jackson Association that it might be considered, and, if thought necessary amended, and then ad or re- 5 ere Was no necessity for an: 1 ousy on the part of the Jackson Association. z e chair—There is no jealousy—none at al” Mr. Culver, continuing, said the chairman of the Jackson Association had been honored as second in that programme, which was eminently proper, and the Jackson Associa- tion had been given a conspicuous part and Position, and he submitted that the feeling manifested by some present had been alto- gether out of place. As for himself he had no | poorytor peg to control his action. He had not held any office, and did not ex- pect toask forany place under Tilden’s ad- ministration. His desire was for the good of the democratic Party alone. Let the Tilden and Hendricks Club ge and if they can ¢arry out the programme, by all means let the m do it. Mr. A. A.

The num- ber of pupils enrolled in the public schools for the year ending August 31, 1876, was: white, 12,993; colored, 6,676—total, 19.629.

MORE SCHOOL BUILDINGS NEEDED. The report calls attention to the utter inade- queer. and unfitness of the accommy tions rovided in rented rooms, in many instances, T the white children of Washington. About 4,500 children are at present attending school in the rented rooms. The expense for the rent, fitting up, and repair of these inferior accommodations is from $25,000 to $30,000 aL Six large, plain and substantial school buildings, each containing twelve rooms, are required in order to give the white schools of Washington accommodations: equal to those now provided for the other public schools of the District. THE COLORED SCHOOLS. The accommodations for the colored schools in the 2d schcol district, Washington city, are very inadequate. The board has been cora- pelled_to rent some very imperfect rooms, four of which have been ‘condemned by the Boarc of Health as unfit for school purposes, and they must be abandoned at the end of the present school year. The colored school building in Georgetown is situated in an unpaved alley without any Fao accommodation. It was erected of old rracks lumber for temporary use, and was much damaged by the severe wind storms of the pest year. The building must be replaced very soon. The future success and prosperity of the colored schools of Washington and Georgetown will depend on_the faithful exe- cution of the present laws of Congress divid- ing and apportioning the school fund, which, from practical experience, have been found to be just and equitable, and entirely satis- factory to all classes of citizens. It is recom- mended— 1. That Congress be requested to make the necessary appropriation to pay the propor- tionate amount of school fund (to wit, $20,348) due the colored schools upon the expenditure of $50,865 for the erection of the Georgetown public school building, to be expended in the erection of a school building for colored children in said city. 2. That no change be made in the present laws of Congress dividing and apportioning the school fund, but that the acts of Congress of June 25, 1464, and July 23, 1866, vide Chapter 12, sections 306, 307, 308, 309, 310 and 311 of the Revised Statutes relating to the District of Columbia, and the act of the legislative as- sembly of the District, approved June 23, 1573, shall remain in full force as the basis of all future disbursements on account of schools. THE ONLY SCHOOLS WHICH HAVE NEVE RECEIVED HELP FROM CONGRESS. The United States has from time to time made most liberal donations of public lands to aid in establishing common schools in all the territories as they became states. The District of Columbia, ‘the permanent seat of government over which Congress exercises exclusive legislation in all cases, has had no share in the distribution of these educational It would seem onl benefactions. just that folumbia and territories, either in the form of nations, or by some equivalent mode, and we respectfully ask that the attention of Congress be invited to the subject. REASONS WHY CONGRESS SHOULD AID OUR LOOLS. The s se s tal reasons for inviting Congress to aid in establishing and supporting a sys- tem of public schools for the District of Co- lumbia may be briefly stated as follows : 1. About one-third of the school population is colored, compoxed largely of the wards o the nation who have come into the District since the beginning of the war. They add but little, if anything, to the school revenues, 2. About 36 per cent. of the enrolment in the white schools is composed of children whose Tenis or guardians are in the re of the . 8. government, and the school revenues receive but little benefit from these residents. 2. The U. 8. government is the owner of about one-half of all the real estate in the District of Columbia. For a very full dis- cussion of the propriety of ernment aid to the public schools of this District, reference is made to the annual re) of the school board for 1873, pages 50 to CONCLUDING REMARKS. In the judgment of the trustees the order issued by the District Commissioners at the commencement of this administration, con- solidating the then existing four school boards and placing the affairs of all the schools under the management of one board has greatly benefited the schools. Increased economy and efficiency have resulted from it. The powers of the board, as now consti- tuted, are too limited, but it is not deemed advisable to discuss ‘this subject until the juestion of a permanent government for the district of Columbia, now under considera- tion, shall have been disposed of. THE BoaRD oF HEALTH met last even- ing, and on recommendation of the health r the frame structure, 632 Maryland ay- enue, being in bad sanitary condition, was m! as a nuisance, and the health of- ficer was ordered to abate the sanre. The health officer presented his report for the week ending November 18th, showing: Nui- sances reported, 35; abated, 207; burials at public expense, 10; marine products inspect- ed, 1,380 bushels oysters, 7! bunches fish; animals impounded, 19; redeemed, 14; killed, 2; In pound, 3; amount realized, $15.50. The registrar submitted a statement of mortality in the District for the week ending Saturiay, November 11, showing: Deaths, 59; white, 3s, colored, 33; under one year old, 12. The pri cipal causes of death were: Consumption, apoplexy, 4; convulsions, 4; pneumonia, 6; violence, 3. The rvenpe f was 7 more than last week, or at the rate of 19.175 per 1,000 per annum. ‘Increase of population by’ births over deaths was 12. or at the rate of 3.900 per 1,000 per annum. Births, 71; white 45, colored 26. Rate of mortality of the white population was 1 afl 1,009 per annum, while the mortality of the colored population was at the rate Of 38.133 per 1,000 per annum. Rate of increase of the white population by births over deaths 8.591 — 1,900 per annum, while the decrease of the colored lation by deaths over births was 8.089 per 1,000 per an- num.

Avery, on suspicion of being connected with the bur- glaries which have recently been committed in this city. He was placed in the hands of Officer Voss, and made a desperate resistance while being taken to the Central guanihouse. He did not succeed in escaping, but managed toslip from his finger a valuable ring and swallowed it. At the station he was locked up, and being somewhat indisposed, he was well dosed with medicine. . The officers re- covered at his stopping place a large amount of silver plate and jewelry, with clothing and other articles, all the broperty recently stolen from the residence of Mr. G. L. Sheriff, being included, as also some of the jewelr: taken from the residence of Mr. Wim. Stickney, There is among the plunder a number of shirts and collars marked with initials; an elegant dress coat, vest, neck-ties, &c. He is believed to have escaped from*the penitenti- ary at Richmond, Va., and it is thought from the quantity of stuff recovered that he has been the most industrious burglar who has ever visited this city. He will be held by the officers until those who have been burglarized have an opportunity to identify the party and their goods. ——_+—___ SALE OF STALLS IN THE WESTERN MAR- L#r.--Yesterday afternoon.

He suggests that the effects be sold. As the whole assets of the company are esti- mated at only $12,000, and a further trial of the enterprise would surely result in = greater loss, the court made a decree ordering the receiver to advertise for proposals for the purchase of all the property of the company, chariots, horses, &e. he design of running chariots on Pennsylvania avenue has not been al loned, and it is understood that a private neg wow | has been organized to pur- chase the fourteen chariots and seventy horses of the company for the purpose. ———_— A CITIZEN ASSAULTED BY A THIRF.— Last night Mr. Hugh A.

Last night, for the third or fourth time, his patch was again robbed and fourteen cabbages taken. On coming to the market here this morning, he found several cabbages bearing the necessary mark of identification in them, in the posses- sion of a colored woman named Nancy Semmes, whom he had arrested at once.
