AN INQUIRY AS TO THE PERSONS WHO RECOM- MENDED HIM FOR OFFICE. In the examination this afternoon of Mr. J. W. Rogers, by the House telephone committee, Mr. Ranney inquired of the witness whether Mr. Garland or Mr. Harris had endorsed the witness’ application for office. Objection was made on the democratic side. Mr. Moffatt sald it had been cialmed that the witness and others had secured Attorney General Garlan: ‘appointment,and all the facts should be show! r. Ranney then changed the form of the ques- tion so as to inquire the names of his endorsers for the position of assistant attorney in the De- Partment of Justiea, ae itness began to read from a paper taken from his pocket—“his grace the archbishop of Baltimore; his grace the archbishop of Phila- delphia.” ’ Another objection was made on the democratic side, on the ground of irrelevancy. ‘The chairman seemed inclined to support the objection, Mr. Hale,on the democratic side, however, said: “If this man was recommended for the position by his partners, I think itis important. It, on the other hand, he made the application, arid failed to reeetvé the position, that might be shown.” The chairman was willing that the witness might state whether or not any of his associ- ates had-endorsed his application. Mr. Ranney objected unless the papers of ap- plication were produced. ‘The witness said tsat the papers were in the hands of the sub-committee, so the inquiry was deferred until the payers could be found. The witness, resuming, said that he did not get the position and hid afterwards applied for aconsular place, and had written to Attor- ney General Garland about it, Looney had also seen the Attorney General in turtherance of the application. Mr. Oates inquired ay to the present feeling between the Attorney General and the witness. He replied: “1 expect he is friendly to me. I would not say that I feel very friendly towards him; butI don’t feel unfriendly. I think he has acted very badly towards me.” Mr. Oates—You mean because he would not, give you the appointment? The witness—trom that and some other thi Thave no malice against Mr. Garland, but I'think that when he had a chance to be generous he acted meanly. Mr. Oates asked if the witness had ever writ- ten any satirical poetry directed against the Cleveland administration, and especially At- torney General Garland. “Just got it this package from Baltimore,” replied the witness cheerfully, as he drew out a pamphlet. “Here itis; want to see it?” The cover of the pamphlet’ bore the following in- scription : ‘The Great Mugwump—Canto 1.~Pan Electric Sale of Government Property—To be followed by Parthenon—Congressional Whitewash and the last of the Dog Catcher; by J.

The Hearing Before the House District Committee To-day. = COMMISSIONER WEBB AND EX-COMMISSIONERS WEST AND DENT ARGUE AGAINST THE BILL— ‘MR, WEST TAKES OCCASION TO FIRE A SHOT AT RXGUPERINTENDENT WILSOK, Gen. Birney continued bis argument on the school question before the House District com- mittee today, He said that the pending bill aimed to restore many imperiections whieh the board had got rid of. COMMISSIONER WEBB'S VIEWS. Commissioner Webb then made a statement. He said the government of the District was simply an executive government. The Com- missioners were given by law charge of the funds, the property of the government. This bill, he said, created another goverament—en- tirely distinct—to take entire charge of the schools, He read the law concerning the school board, and said that his translation of the law was that the board were the agents of the Com- missioners, When he came into office he found the board in full operation. They were Ww: ling, quarreling, and debating, not over the ucation of the ‘children, but over the nt ment of Janitors, &c. He looked about him to ‘see what could be done. All the other branches of the District government were in excellent condition. This alone was in disorder. He tried many Ways to adjust the differences. Failing, Beturned to thetaw and found feet i neties ized him to do Just what he had since done. WAR MADE ON ONE MEMBER, Upon the question of district representation in the board, he said that war was madeon one member of the board by the rest because he did not do just what they wanted him to, That, too, in the face of the fact that he was the man who had been chosen by the people of the dis- frict as their representative. “He said that not long since he had visited a school house—one ofthe finest-looking in the country. There he found five rooms Just too smaill for sehool rooms, and in the top of the building he found an im- mense hall, which, he was informed, had never been used ‘more than five minutes at atime. This was large enough to make two or three school rooms. From there be went down on New Jersey avenue and found a. oung woman teaching Young children in a ii dat base- ment. This school had been held there for two years and was in charge of the trustees, He then explained what the Commissioners wanted—Jjust as it was explained in the Com- missioners’ letter to the trustees. Commissioner Edmonds was next Invited to express his views, but asked that ex-Commis- sioner West be heard instead. EX-COMMISSIONER WEST TALES, Gen. West was then given twenty minutes’ timeto address the committee. He took the grounds that nochange in the law was neces- sary and no change in the practice was advis. able, except that which the Commissioners have now putin operation. As to the appolnt- ment of the superintendent of the oer sald that they had a man in that position, the predecessor of the present incumben' who was the great “I am,” who controile: everything. He involved tlle expense ot $700 @ yeur too much on a single item, that of steel pens, There was under his management, Gen. est said, williul, and, he did not know, but corrupt extravagance, “Who appointed this superintendent?” asked Mr, Gray, of Louisiana, “The Commissioners,” replied Gen. West. hy did they not dismiss him?” was asked. ‘Because he was the great ‘I am,’” replied Gen. West. The Commissioners, he said,change every three years. It takes one year to learn the workings of things, It took a Year longer to be satisiied as to where the wrong lay. EX-COMMISSIONER DENT’S VIEWS, Ex-Commissioner Dent next spoke. He said the only fault he found was that the Commis- sioners did not go far epough. There ought to be no school board with any power. There ought to be merely a board of tors. All the bourds in the District had proven public scan- dals. The school board had had scandalous disagreements, Judge kdmonds then talked for ten minutes. He argued tor the exclusive authority of the Commissioners, MB. LOVEJOY DEFENDS THE SCHOOL BOARD, Mr. Lovejoy was next heard in defense of the Dill, representing the citizens. He said that Mr. Wilsor, upon whom reflections had been ast, was second to none in honor and integrity. He described in detail the methods followed by the school board, and contended that the nt excellent condition of the schools was ue to the careful management of the board. The Commissioners, he said, attempted to annul this law by an order. There were two ways to resist this, One by going into the courts, the other by coming to Rests school pees have been built, he sald, they were the work of the board; when their recommendations had not been followed poor buildings had been the result, He thought that if the schvol board was allowed to be Uarbed their good work would be sacrificed. WANT THE OLD SYSTEM CONTINUED, Some of the members of the committee were of the impression that the citizens wanted a new order of affairs, and asked the reasons, since the schools were in such good condition. Dr. Reyburn assured them that this was not the case. They simply wanted the continuation of the old pnd which the Commissioners wanted to change. WHY THEY CALL THEMSELVES A “CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE.” Ex-Commissioner Dent questioned their au- thority to call themselves a citizens’ commit- tee, Dr. Reyburn replied that they claimed no authority except that which they derived by writing to nearly every prominent citizen in- terested in school affairs, and getting replies conforming with the views they represented, and from the fact that all four of the daily papers in the elty took the same grounds as ts ‘pon motion of Mr. Camphill, the committee agreed to allow citizens to submit their views in writing to the committee for one week. oo A Candidate for Senator. THE RECENT VISIT OF GOVERNOR WILSON To WASHINGTON, The published report that Gov. Wilson, of West Virginia, refused tocall upon the Senators of that state during his recent visit to Washing- ton, and that a feud exists between them which threatens the party in that state is very much exaggerated. Gov. Wilson called upon the Senators and was with them on several occa- sions, The simple truth is that the governor is an avowed candidate for the seat in the Sen- ate now occupied by Mr. Camden, and, of course, this dues not tend to render ‘the rela- tons between the two men very cordial. Go Wilson himself denounced the that he was seeking to create a breach in the democ- racy in order to build up a laboring man’s party, which could send nim to the Senate, He declared himself to be a candidate for Senator within the party, and under all its As he resides in the same town as Senator Kenna that fact is not regarded as helping his chances, —e Deputy Marshal McBiair Resigns.

The New York World today says: Among the striplings who responded to his country’s call when the war of the rebellion broke out was Benjamin Franklin Cleveland, @ cousin of the President, who enlisted as @ private in the Fitty-first New York volunteers and served for two years. In bis first battle the youth dis- played so mueh courage that he was promoted to a corporalsbip and later on was made a ser- ant. On the second day of the battle of the iiderness Sergeant Cleveland was wounded in ‘the head and was sent Pp a farloug! h. ‘he young sol was twen' years e whell he resehed home. He went to his sister's house in East New Yori there met a young lady named Elizabeth Redfield. Elizabeth at the time was eighteen years of age, while the sergeant was about two years her senior. On September 6, 1864, the young soldier and the irl were married in East New York by Rev. Str. “Cleveland, namesake but no relative. ‘The sergeant returned to the front as soon as his time had expired. When the war closed he returned to the north and he and his wife took lodgings with his sister. Cleveland at once ‘took an active interest in ehurch affairs and much of his spare ti was devoted to Sunday school and yy affairs, His wife,on the contrary, \, us fond of amusements, and before the young couple had been living together three months frequent quarrels took place, but, despite the ill feclivg, which grew trom day to day, they became nts of three children, the eldest of whom, lian, is now nineteen years ot age, while the youngest, Harry, is filteen, Between these is a second daughter. In 1872 the pair went to Jersey City. They went to the yy and Cleveland joined Zabriskie Post of Grand Army, of which he ‘is now chaplain, and after- became an active member ot the Union Veteran Army, of which he is chief cl iain. During the latter partof 1876 and the io- ning of 1877, Cleveland became acquainted with some young law students, one ol whom, Wilham MeDermott, to secure certain pers from Washington for the sergeant. Rebermore became a frequent visitor at the house, and in time Cleveland became convinced that his wife was untaithful and accused her of inti with MeDermott, and between March Band April 7,1877, the couple terday afternoon Cleveland a| re the sake of his family he brought a. desertion instead of adultery, as he originally intended, and he and Constable Locke were sworn. “'IfI had not been a church member,” Cleveland said, as he concluded his testimony, “there would Have been murder. I would have shot McDermott on the spot, He is the father of one of her children which was born in the county jail, and I have no doubt he was inti mate her at least @ year before its birth.” Decision in the case was reserved until another ‘witness can be examined. steamer Oregon has not yet been satisfactorily explained, and the disaster yesterday received Street Car Accommodations.
