Thompson to-day, placing in the lat- ter’s hand an extract from a newspaper containing these words: “Thompson ts reported to have sald yesterday that If he was in Judge Hoadley’s place he would withdraw from the race; that he would not make a race for governor when he did not have asingle friend on the executive committee.” “There is not a word of truth in that,” sald Col. Thompson, as he returned the extract, “and I have already authorized a positive dental I neither said that or anything itke it, The com- mittee £3 loyal to Hoadley, and will do everything possible to elect nim.” é eae it organized by men unfriendly to outley?” Col. Thompson.—No, sir. The truth is that there were otuer things than ‘the governorship entering into the organiz:tion of the committee. There’s the senatorship, for instance. That had more or IeSs influence. ‘Different sections of the party controlled the committee. There was the Payne section, the Bookwalter section, the Pendleton seetlon, and soon, I saw that it would be best for the party for me to get out of the way, and T didso. There are lots of men in the democratic party in Ohio who want new men on the commit- tee. They want anew deal, they gay.

He ts almost an imbecile, ana does got represent his father in anything,” Col. ‘Thompson said that his race for Sergeant- at-Arms was not weakened tn the leagt by his loss of the Obto chairmanship. “In fact,” he added, “Lam stronger for being off the commiute.

He gives no reasons, inten ling upon his return to Washington to confer with the Postmaster General more fully. The reasons that underlie this action are beltevel by his friend:, as stated in yesteriay’s STAR, to be mainiy on account of his family and the separation that his aeceptunce of the office would entail.

Brooks, a member of the board of school trustees, yesterday handed to the District Commissioners a letter in watch he resigned his position inthe board. The reasons given for this action by Mr. Brooks ts, that the recent order of the Commisstoners, directing that the expenditute of the school fund be taken away from the super- vision of the school board, is incompatible with his ideas of his duties as trustee, and therefore out of respect to himself he resigns, Mr. Brooas in conversation with a Star reporter this morning stated that he had handed the letter to Commissioner Edmonds, and that the matter was now {n the hands of the Commissioners, and that he did not care to make any public statement until some action had been taken upon it. In further conversation he said that he had very fully expressed his ideas on the subject in the meeting of the school board the other evening. ‘The school board had never sald that they had the right to expend the school money, but they did mulntain that they had a right to super- vise its expenditures, approve or disapprove the bilis and to know how the money was expended. It had been the custom at the Treasury department to have all bills presented to be audi- accompanied with the certificate of the school board. Now that would allbe done away qith, and the Commissioners would purchase the sup: piles without the board knowing anything about it. In the opinion of Mr. Brooks the school board was held responsible beiore the public for the proper expenditure of the school fund, and under the present Si bee ‘tne responsibility would be unjustly pl Te her stated that the bill of Hutchinson's had never been before the school board or its committee on accounts; that the expenditure of the appropriation under which the bill was con- tracted was entrusted to Gen. Birney by the Com- missioners and that the board knew nothing of it until Gen. Birney stated befofe them that the money for this purpose had been expended and that this bill remained unpaid, and asked that it be paid out of the contingent fund. The board aes 2 do this. igs one snot this bill was not in the doard of trustees, but outside ane the board knew nothing of it until it was all jone. ees The Virginia Duelists. ‘NO NEWS OF A HOSTILE MEETING YET.

Also, for all vouchers for ——y paid Bartlett, Robbins & Co., or Hayward, Robbins & Co., the present firm, for work done or materials furnished by them to the government since August, 1876. OBJECTION WAS MADE by Mr. Thomas that such a wholesale expose of the business of Bartlett, Robbins & Co. would be Unfair to the present firm, in that it would dis- close their business to those who may be compe- ting against them. Mr. Coleman.—How can that be, when they have & monopoly of the business? Protracted arguments ensued, during which counsel for the prosecution charged that Bartlett, Robbins & Co. had secured nearly all the contracts for tiling since the advent of Mr. Hill as supervis— ing architect, and had been enabled to do #0 ‘through corrupt influences in the architect's office, although not the lowest bidders.

At this point, a number of vouchers which had been called for by the prosecution, were brought in, and upon the suggestion of Mr. Alexander, the committees at 1 o'clock adjourned till 10:30 to- morrow for the purpose of affording the witness an opportunity to inspect the papers.
