Hi? KtcelUocy II. 1>. Cookk,
(tovrmor of the District of Columbia: ,
Sii: The Board of Trustee* of the Schools
for Colored Children in the Clitic* of Wash
ington end Oeorgetowa, hare the honor to
iiate. that, on calling upon the Comptroller on
the t'?th instant for the funds now due thpm by
the District authorities, they were referred to
the AuJii??r. who stated that, in riew of the
provisions of the 3Sth section of the act of the
District Legislature approved on the L':;a day
of August, 1871, he should decline paying the
fnrxl for the rapport of the colored echo >1* in
said cities to the Trustees thereof, as heretofore,
hut should insist upon the original vouch
ers being furnished in duplicate for all expenditures
of said Hoard, when, if found correct,
a cht-ck would iesne for the gr<ss amount to
the order of the Treasurer of paid Hoard
monthly, to l?e disbursed by him in detail.
The authority for this proposed change in
the mode of dealing with this Board is denied,
and the attention of your Kxccllency is requested
to th? provisions of Congress relating
thereto.
I'he uct of t'ongress. approved May 21, 1802
provides for the creation of a separate fuud
for the ad neat ion of colored children in the
cities of Washington and (jeorgetown, and
gave the Hoard of Trustees of the Public
Schools "sole control thereof." and directed
them to provide therewith "suitable rooms
Hud teachers for such a nuui!>er of schools as,
in their opiuion, will best accommodate the
colored children in the vsrious portions of said
cities." (See section 2 of said act.)
By the provisions of the 1st section of the
act of July 11, 18d2. the p >wers and -dirties ol I
the Hoard of Trustees oi Public Schools iu i
relation to colored children in the cities above- !
named wore transferred to a separate Hoard
created by that section, and designated therein I
hs " a Hoard of Trustees of, 'the Schools for
Colored Children in the cities aforesaid" (of j
Wa-hingtoa and Georgetown,) and provided i
for its perpetuation, which Hoard has con
linnad to exercise these functions to the pres- j
ent time.
By section IS' of the act of June 25, 18G4,
the fur.d for the use of this Board was increased,
and its independent authority in
reference thereto re enacted in the following
expressive language: " And that the said fund
shall he paid to the Trustees apjointed under
act of Congress, approved .luly II, 1802, to j
>>e disbursed by them iii accordance with the j
provisions of said act."
By act of July 2d, 186G, Congress, to remove j
all possible doubt as to their inteutiou in the j
legislation previously had in rulation to this
Board, enacted ' that the 18th section of the j
act entitled "An act to provide for the public ,
instruction of youth in the county of Washington,
District of Columbia, and for ether pur- j
ptoses, approved June 25, 1864," shall be so :
construed aa to require the cities of Washington
and Georgetown to pay over to the Trus- j
tees of Colored Schools such a proportionate
part of all moneys received or expended for j
school or educatioual purposes in said cities,
including the cost of sites, buildings, improve- j
incuts, furniture, and books, and all other ex- j
penditures on account of Bchools. as the colored
children between the ages of six and seven- I
teen years, in the respective cities, bear to the j
nnmhor nf dKiliUan url-it^ an.l nnlnM.l
n Iiwiv iiwiiiwi vi vuiiui < i? * niiiVG U u * VVIVI^'i
between the same ages." "That the money shall
be considered due and payable to said Trustees
on the first of October of each year; or,
if not paid over to them, interest at the rate
of ten per centum per anr.um on the amount
unpaid may be demanded and collected from
the authorities of the delinquent cities by said j
Trustees." And section 2d, of the same act,
authorises the Trustees to prosecute their action
f?r debt in the Supreme Court of the Dis ;
trict of Columbia against said cities for the
non-payment of any sum of money arising uui
der the aforesaid act of June 25, 1864.
The alwve synopsis of the legislation of Con- j
gress shows conclusively that this Hoard is
vested with the sole control and authority over
the fund created thereby, subject only to the
provisions aud terms of the separate acts them
selves, and the only duty of the oflicials of the >
District is to determine the amount due and '
frrnr i? over to ft <ar4 or its dcsfgnate<? I<
financial agent. And such has !>een the uni 1
form practice of the corporations of the two
cities for nine years and of the District author- .
ities until the present time. The provision of
the District Legislature alluded to. we contend. |
cannot be made to apply to this Hoard, for the
very important reason that there is nothing in
its terms to indicate any such intention, as it is j
aot even Earned, nor is- it iu any manner
described, nor is any language used that can
be made to imply such an intention, or even
the most distant allusion thereto. 4t says
" that all accounts against the Board of Trua- j
tees of Public Schools and Board of Commissioners
of the Fire Department shall be reu
dered in duplicate," etc., etc. n
This Board lias a distinctive title given by
the act creating it, by which it is styled "a Board
of Trustees of the Schools for Colored Children
in the cities of Washington and Georgetown,*' j
and it is only reasonable to suppose that had '
the legislature of the District intended to in- |
elude this Board within its provisions it would j
have intimated that purpose by the use of appropriate
language. Again, this provision
cannot apply to the Trustees of Colored Schools,
for by it? terms the money proposed thereby to
be paid over is directed to be pa d to the
Treasurer, and by huu disbursed, a p irty not
authorised by any act of Congress to receive ,
ana pay 11 out. " I p ?n the receipt or said 1
statement the Comptroller shall, it upon exaini- .
nation he is satisfied of the c rrectne*s ofj
the accounts. i*sue his warrant for the sfgre
gate amounts thereof, payable to the order of
the Treasurer of the respective Boards." That
is the B *ard of Trustees of Public Schools and j
Fire Commissioners. "And it shall be the i
do ties of the Treasurer of the said Boards to |
pay the money so received by them to the par- j
ties whose accounts have beeu approved."
Congress only authorizes the TmtUea to receive
and disburse it, aud has made no provision
whatever for either the appointment or
uayment of a treasurer of this Board, and no
auch officer is known to the act creating it; the
Trustees aloue are responsible for the iund en- '
trusted to them, the appomtineut of a treu
surer by the Board being a mere gratuity, and
for their own couveuieuce, and in no way makes 1
httu responsible to any authority but that i
which created him, to wit: the Board, of whicn .
he himself *s a member. In the appointment j
of one of their members as Treasurer, they l
simply make the appointee their agent, and
are aolely and eutireiy accountable in law for '
all his acts, he onlpr sharing with them the
burden and responsibility common to them
all. Suppose the Board should see fit to dis
pense with the services of a treasurer and direct
one of their number to receive money and sign
checks by order of the Board, could the Auditor
or Comptroller of the District ol?ev the
mandate of this provision of the Legislature
of the District? Since there is no authority
to lawfor the existence of a Treasurer and no
such officer is known in law, no responsibility
as such can attach to any person holding that
position, and any payment made to him as
such, or in any other manner, except as a
simple agent to act for the Board, would be '
clearly unauthorized and in violation of law, 1
the Trustees alone being designated by Congress
to receive the fund.
Again, this provision cannot apply to this
Board, for by its terms it given the Auditor
and Comptroller a discretionary aud supervisory
p.wer over their official acts. "The act
of the Legislature j r.ivide* that the Treasurers
of the respective Boards " shall not pay any
aeoouut uot approved and audited as herein
provided *' that is, by the Auditor and Comptroller
of the District. And again it lays,
"Should any accounts transmitted to the Audi- j
tor aa aforesaid be not approved by him, be
shall return one net thereof to the Board in
which they originated, with his r?ssou? for his
disapproval endorsed thereon."
This is in direct conflict with the provisions
of Congress. The act of May 21, 18f>2. says, I
"they shall Aore soIt control of the fund arising
from the tax aloreaaid. And it is wade ; 1
their duty to pruv.de suitable rooms and teach ' 1
era for such a number of si holars as in their '
opinion will best accommodate," Ac., Ac.
The set of June 25, 1S64, says, "that the 1
said fund shall be paid to the Trustees appointed
under the act of Congress approved 1
July 11, 1862, to be disbursed by tbew in accordant
with the provisions of said act."
And the act referred to aflrmi nil the provisions
of the act of May, 1662, relating to vest *
ing the axslusive control of the fund in the
discretion of this Board. 1
if the District authorities hart the right to '
control disbursements of this Board, how can
effect be given to the act of Congress which
declares that the fund shall be under their sole
control, and be disbursed by them as in their
opinion will best accommodate,
Agam : The right of this Board to the sole
control of the fund set apart for the education
of colored children has been affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.
In an action brought against the authorities
of the city of Washington for their proportion
of the school moneys, upon the trial of the
cause (at l&w, No. 1.968) in 1868, it was adjudged
that their right thereto was complete
in law, and the only duty of the Court was to
ascertain the amount due them under the vari'
ons provisions of Congress and render judg
I at * - jr L:?L niis.w\iiA tka
mem wiermor. iur wuicb mo ^uuri
appointed a referee, when, upon the coining in
and affirmance of lii<? report,, the amount was
paid over and the suit settled. This decision
of tha pourt was followed up by legislation of
the City Councils in an act approved November
29, 18C9, in which the Mayor of Washington
was instructed to pay the Trustee? of Colored
Schools their proportion of school moneys "at
the same time" " and times" as payments were
made for the support of the public .schools of
this city in accordance with " the la to decision
of the Supreme Court of this Districtand iu
the same ordinance, section 2, appropriated
money "to enable the Mayor to pay such
sums of money as are required by the act
of Congress approved June 25, 18G4, to
be paid by this Corporation to the Trustees
of Colored Schools." As section 40
of the organic act of the District provides
that "all laws and ordinances of said cities not
inconsistent with this act shall reWtain in tali
.force until modified or repealed," it is presumed
unnecessary to argue that the ordinance above
quoted is still in force, so far as it acknowledges
and defines the obligations of the author
ities of this city to this Board.
Again : This Board is the creation of the
supreme lawmaking powet of the United
States, with well-defined funotions and duties,
relating to the education of a large class of
children of the cities of Washington and
Georgetown, independent and beyond the control
of the authorities who are charged with
furnishing the fund with which to carry on its
work. Their instructious are derived solely
from the acts of Congress, and they are not
and cannot be made subject to the local authorities
; are alone accountable to the Congress of
the United States, by whose authority they art
appointed to do a particular work, and no jurisdiction
of their acts can be acquired except
through the source that created them, and by
that branch of the judiciary charged with the
UMVJ VI VVI I VV ViUg Ml* W UIIOIU^ IJJ 1 CttllUlI
of unfaithfulness in the discharge of trusts.
An examination of the legislation on this subject
fails to show any relationship whatever
between it and the local authorities. Its members
receive their appointments from a federal
officer, by authority of federal enactment, to
exercise a function and to perform duties not
provided for by any other legislation tbau that
of Congress, and even the officer appointing |
them has not the power of removal, that deli- I
cate duty being left with a court of chancery, j
to be performed whenever a case is presented 1
calling for its interposition.
In view of these suggestions it is respectful- j
ly submitted tln.t the requirement made by the |
Auditor of the District, and his rafusal to pay ;
to this Board their proportion of the fund, ami
the additional requirement of the Comptroller
that the member of the BoarU acting as Treas
urer shall give bonds to the District, are all as
sumptions of power having no foundation in
law, which we have the honor to request may
be abandoned, and the evident intent and purpose
of the several acts .of Congress relating
thereto be complied with, and the money now
due, and to become due, be paid without condition,
as heretofore.
By order of the Board.
Very respectfully,
Your ohedieut servant,
Charles Kino,
Trustee and Treasurer.
London LiiiicIhm*.
One may tell a true Briton the world over if!
one can catch him at the dinner table. The 1
moist and misty little island makes up 'some
what for the mugiriness of its temperature by <
endowing its dwellers with excellent appetites.
The Englishman is, above all. a hearty eater ;
not a dainty eater, like the Frenchman, or a
hasty eater like the Auiericau, hut a downright
deliberate, substantial, leisurely and almost inexhaustible
consumer of the stoutest of food.
He disdains frigasees and vol-au veritn, salltnie
and fricandeaux ; he is equally contemptuous
of hot rolls and buckwheat cakes, of sweet
potatoes and green corn ; for him is the great
juicy simmering joint, with its best cut; audi
the o'erbubbling tody of stout, or ale, which is
never amiss, but best finishes of a harty roastbeef
meal. Sir Andrew Aguecheek, in Shake- !
peare's "Twelfth Night, was a true type of a
inau of his feilow-conntrymen of his own
generation ; for when Sir Toby asked hi in il
our life "do not consist of the four elements,"
he auswered, " Faith, I think it rather con
sists of eating and drinking;" whereat Sir
Teby is delighted, and replies, " Thou'rt a <
scholar; let us therefore eat and drins." It is j
the English fashion, in high society and low,
at the West End and in the city, among lords, 1
merchants, and clerks, to lunch. Lunch is a i
British institution aa flrmlv rnnrn.l au iho i
Magna Charta, and inure so than the Established
Church. It is the half-way house of a
day's journey in life. It holds the balance be
tween break and dinner. It is the greatest I '
convenience in the world as respects the matter
f hospitality. If an Englishman invites you
to dinner, it is to pay you formal courtesy ; if
be invites you to breakfast, it's because be
really want* to know you better ; if he invites
you to luncheon he does not commit himself, it
is neither formal nor informal, it is a sort of
test or trial of you. If the lunch experiment
is suecessfu1, he will invite yon to hreakfa9t
afterward; or may not. A lunch has been
wittily said (it need not be added, by an Englishman)
to be 44 an insult to one's breakfast,
and an outrage upon one's dinner;" if so, the
fact is universallay disregarded, lor all London
daily commits these impertinences on the
morning and evening meals. Another Englishman
says that the way that the matter is
got over is, that they make a dinner of the
lunch, and a supper of the dinner; which
seems very muoh like arguing in a circle. At
all events, the fact remains that all liondoners,
male aud female, noble and merchantile, breakfast
somewhere between 7 and 9, lunch somewhere
between 12 and 2, aud dine somewhere .
between .r? and 7. At the West End ladies are
accustomed to lunch from half past I to 2; aud
it is the general custom at many aristocratic and
hospitable houses, to have chains placed at
the tables, and friends to happen in to lunch as
tney pleat-e, without any ceremony or previous
invitation. These family lunches are the
cosiest possible occasions, requiring no elaborate
toilet, and being graced with utter ab
scnce of constraint.
?Since the tendency to railway consolidation
has created so ninch alarm in this coun j
try, the nervous may console tbemsejves with
the reflection that we are uot the only victims i
of aggregated capital, frank Leslie notes j
that in Euglaod the great London and North
western and the Lancashire and Yorkshire?
the first the most important of all the insular ,
railways, and the latter only second in rank? ;
have just been united. Of the colossal proportions
of the aapital represented by these
roads, few have any adequate notion. It is
officially reported at eighty-five millions of
Kmnds sterling, equal to $425,000,000 gold !
esides nhich there are dependent, leased
roads with a capital of $75,000,000?the whole
capital practically yielded by a single corporation
amoanting to ths enormous sum of five
hundred millions of dollars! To Americans,
however, the mileage represented by this
gigantic capital seems relatively small, it being :
but 2,270 miles.

leading manufacturing districts of England,
showing that fifty seven hours per week is the i
average time the working class labor, so that
ihe employers will only loss three hours per ;
week on each laborer, if the nine-hour rule
prevails. If Mr. Redgrave is correct, the i
working men of England hardly average as <
many nours per Jay as their American 1
brothers.
