CHASE AS A MORALIZER. 1 addressed the mecting, and was ng to speak of the immorality of some | hool trustees and teachers when Gur- don Snowden objected. Mr. Chase continued. in the same strain, when Jerome Johnson rose toa point of order. He objected to Mr Chase proceeding in this way, as his effort was to Cast aspersions upon the private char- acter and acts of the trustees and teachers, and not on their official acts. Considerable confusion followed, there being a dozen on the fluor, all talking at once, and Mir. Chase was frequently interrupted in his personal allusions to the trustees and teachers. He said the superintendent, Cook, was a mere Bgure-head by his own admission, and had told him that certain objectionable teachers could not be dismissed from their ree on account of certain intluences which ad put them in; he admitted that the teacher implicated in a recent scandal which had be- come public, could not be removed on account of influence, and the facts could not be touched upon in the board. Time was called on Mr. Chase, and Mr. Gurdon Snowden said it seemed strange that the white schools could get along smoothly, while the colored ones were always in hot water. CHASE'S DEFEAT. After further debate the majo fully sustaining the present trustees, was adopted by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Jo: If. Jackson got the floor and interesting statisties,collected from the records, showing that in seven years of chool se e, Trustee Johnson had been ab- ent from board meetings but twice; that Mr. Brooks had never been absent during his four years of service, and that the rules on which they had acted favor the employment of home eacher preference to teachers from the foun@competent.

The news of the death of this gentleman at the city of New York, a few weeks ago, called back to the minds of old Washingtonians many interesting and pleasant memories. From 1823 to 183 and of Jackson, he was, Shough a young man, one of the most respected and admired of our townsmen, and many of them still surviving from that Tong past generation will, it is be- lieved, be glad to have placed before them a brief record of his life and his admirable per- sonal qualities. His parents, originally of Providence, R.

He established his home in Washington atthe age of nineteen, and during the twelve years that he lived here. he enjoyed the esteem and friendship of Presi: dent Jackson, and of Gen. Cass, Gen. Gibson and others, then among the most honored idents of our city. He was for some years chief clerk of the Department of Subsistence, under Gen. Gibson, and while thus employed. and devoting much of his leisure to lterary culture, he pursued the study of law withsuch diligence and capacity that When he removed, in 1835, to Mobile, he became, in a few mouth a member of the eminent law firm of Stewa & Thornton, of that city.

E. ye as secretary. The credentials of Messrs. M. J. Quigtey, G. Davis, J. Annand, J. W. Reynolds and G.E. Taylor, as delegates from the Bricklayers’ union, were acted upon favorably. Mr. J. Cohen, the street-corner orator, who had been denounced with his col- league, Dr. Lawrence, at a previous meeting of the assembly, entered the room at this june- ture, and amid much excitement was ac- corded permission to address the meeting, by “a vote of 9to 8. His remarks, which followed, were a defence of the open-air meetings and of those engaged in them, and especially of himself. le said that the fearful language which he was represented as using on the Cap- itol steps was intended to meet a fearful case. “Tttakes poison to drive out poison.” He in- formed the meeting that Dr. Lawrence had resigned the presidency of the re- Nef association, and that the posi- tion had been tendered to Colonel Daniels. When he had finished, a series of fiery resolu: tions were introduced, denouncing John Pope Hodnett, Dr. Lawrence and_their followers, “quack doctors, lawyers, and what-not ;" re- fusing to aQiliate with them, repudiating the slur cast by them on ladies in the depart- ments, and suggesting the baliot as the only loyal and patriotic means by which the rights of the workingmen can be secured. A motion to lay the resolutions on the table was lost by a vote of 13 to 8. An excited discussion fo! lowed. Mr. Cohen was referred toas a “fraud” and “political trickster.” ‘The assembly final ly come to the conclusion that the matter was outside of iis true province, and in the inter- ests of unity among the workingmen, voted down the resolutions bya vote of 13105. A communication was received from the Pain- ters’ Union, No. 1, in reference to the adver- lisement in THs Svar for ten painters in the Quartermaster’s department.
