BRACELETS—chi'dren, misses and ladles, at Pigg 5. t ‘Yesterday the death | coloied, was A meeting of the board was held last evening; Mr. Curtis presiding. the approval of the minutes, the secretary, Mr. Brooks, took the floor and read THe Stak editorial of criticising the con: which he was about to piace upon Mr. Lloyd’s resolution of a dg ous meeting. Mr. yd moved that all of the re- port ofthe text ae committee preceding the recommendations, led as not before the board or any ears, of its report. The secre- tary construed to mean not only that the imble was stricken from the report before its adoption by the board, but that he was au- thorized to expunge the preamble from the records of the previous meeting when the re- port was received. He expl: that his inter- pretation of the resolution was based upon the Temarks of the mover of the resolution, and of the president, and, as he thought, the general understanding of the board. He rehearsed the circumstances attending the adoption of Mr. Lloyd's resolution as ue recollected them. He said that if the construction which he had Placed Supon the resolution was wrong, now was the proper time to correct the matter. Mr. Davis moved that the resolution be not construed to authorize expungement. Mr. Holland held that the whole affair was a warning against drifting from pariiamentary forms. Mr. Lloyd’s motion could not expunge, hor did he intend that it should. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the minutes of June 10 were approved would be a necessary od to the expungement of any part of em. Mr. Lovejoy thought that the intent of the resojution, a8 understood at the last meeting, Was to expunge. He had offered an amead- ment proposing expungement, and had uader- stood Mr. Lloyd to say that the point was cov ered by bis proposition. Moreover, Mr. Lioyd had said that he did not wish a stump speech to get into the minutes. Mr. Lioyd explained that his intention was to get to the consideration of the recommendations of the committee by throwing aside the pre- ambie, which was ap expression of individual opinion, might have been made orally, and did hot need to be passed upon by the board. fle did not intend by his resolution to expunge the preamble from the approved minut2s of a pre- vious meeting, but to pass it by at last meetius, disapproving it so far as the fact of the passage of his resolution would indicate disapproval. Mr. Farley satd that in voting for Mr. Lioyd’s | Motion he had intended to expunge. Mr. Matthews said that he voted with Mr. Fairley and Mr. Lloyd but had no such inten- tention. We find the preamble in the printed minutes of June 10; why this controversy? Mr. Davis repiled that it was understood that the secretary intended to strike out the pre- amble in the copy of the minuies, which was to be put into the bound volume of the year’s records. Mr. Lovejoy here catechised Mr. Lloyd, fu- timating and attempting to show thar Mr. Lloyd did not construe his resolution now Ja the same way that he did at last meeting. He suggested that as our bodies changed every seven years, so the minds of trustees sometimes changed every seyen days. Mr. Lloyd retierated the intent of his resolu- ten, and said that he had not changed his mina in the least. The president then ruled that as the minutes of June 10, asapproved, contained the preamble, it could not be stricken from them without a revious motion to reconsider the approval of 1 minutes. No motion to reconsider the approval of the minutes of June 10, whien contained the pre- amble. was entered, and the matter was per- mitt d to drop,'‘the board thus deciding that the Preamble should appear in the bound minutes. THE REVISION OF THE COURSE OF STUDY. Under the head of unfinished business the re- port of the committee on text-books came up for further cousideration. The 16th recom- mendation, proposing to omit written examina- ticns In penmanship, drawing, music, physiolc- gy and physics, was discussed. In regard vo penmanship, it was held, op the other hand, Uhat there are too written examinations and that a written examimation in this study 1s, & non-essential; that the condition of the copy’ books is a sufficient indication of progress; that as the “Theory of Penmanship” had ‘been dropped as a text-book, one argument in favor of examirations in respect to the principies of writing was removed; that if a boy could make @ perfect letter, it made ro difference to examt- ners how he made it. On the other hand !t was argued that to adopt the recommendation would be to strike a blow at the phifosophical basis of penmanship; that systematic instruction was what bad given the schools of Washington a world-wide fame for penmanship, and that no steps should be taken which Would make that instruction less systematic. ‘The representatives of the colored schools were especially opposed to the recommendation. A yote to strike out the word Nee tegeer! result- ed 6 in the affirmative,7 {nthe negative. A yYote was then taken on the recommendation so faras it affected penmanship, and 7—not two- thirds—voted to adopt it. his decision req ¥ peal was taken, which was laid on the table by @ vote of Tto6. This settled the fate of the rest of the 16th recommendation, as it could not obtain the necessary two-thirds. These proyo- sitions may, however, be brought up as sapa- rate resolutions at some future meeting and be adopted by a majority vote. ‘The seventeenth recommendation was amend- €d to read: “Map drawing shall not be required y the teacher to De done out of schoo}, but shall be retained in school asa method of fastrac ton.” The aim wasto abolish fancy map draw- a and retain the practical. It was then pred. Mr.Fairley advocated his substitute as a change in system more desirable than a mere change intext-books. It was, however, postponed un- tila more suitable time. ‘The eighteenth recommendation was adopted after it had been amended so as to read: “Each School may be divided into two classes for the © of instruction and recitation, at the tion of the teacher, and in every such case superintendents and supervising principals shall uske care to Tully exainine into and report the Drogress of each class, so that neither shall The nineteenth recommendation was made be sttnepoer the board’s action on a previous recommen: » abd was withdrawn.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. A, Cook and ‘Messrs, Shellabarger and Wilson, for Miss Lucy ‘Walton Rhett Horton, entered a suit against John H. Morgan for breach of promise of mar- riage, laying damages at $20,000. The plaintiff Sets forth that on April 2d, 1877, at Selma, Ala., defendant entered into a contract with her to marry her in the following October, and that she was ready and willing at the time mentioned to comply with the agreement, and be married, but the defendant refused to marry her and sull refuses, &c, The defendant is a son of U.S. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and ts acting as the private secretary of his father, and the Plaintiff 15 THE DAUGHTER OF SENATOR MORGAN'S DECEASED LAW PARTNER, and her mother and herself are residents of Dayton. She is now about 1s years of age; a handsome brunette, graceful and modest look- ing. It appears, from her statements, that after the death of her father the two families (well acquainted before) were more intimate than ever, and Morgan became very attentive to her, but the courtship was only of a few months’ duration. She charges that urder the Promise of marriage he seduced her, and afrer- wards attempted to keep up his improper reia- tons with her, but she refused. She also states is having failed to keep his contract to marry her SHE CHARGED HIM WITH SEDUCTION and he is now under indictment for that offence at Selma, Ala., and, that before the time ap- proached when the case would be called for trial several attempts were made by paiiles (who she believes were in the interest of Mor- gan) to kidnap her to keep her from appearing at the trial, and on one occasion AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE ON HER LIFE, @ man shootiug at her. Fearing thatif the case was calied for trial in Alabaina justice wouid not be done her, a few months since she came here to avenge her wrongs, and went to the office of Mergan with the intention of shooting him. Her Intentions had, however, been communt- cated to Morgan, and when she appeared he was on his guard, and seizing her he got the pistol from her hand. Since then she has cou- cluded fo seek redress through the etvil co rts, and has therefore filed the above suit.
