CoLoRED SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT OF Co
LuMBIA-There are large number of schools
for the instruction of colored children in the
District of Columbia. A recent report on
the subject discloses the fact that beside the
schools supported by taxation upon the
property OF colored men, there are eight
schools taught gratuitously by Government
employees, and crowded with eager, earnest
learners, mostly adults, and many of them
freedmen who have congregated there from
points in the slave States reached by our
armies.

DEMOCRATIC CONsPIRACY.-The statement
has been made that, out Of ninety-six olonels
appointed by Gov. Seymour, all but me are
Democrats Facts of this nature gave rise
to rather an acrimonious debate in the New
York Legislature recently. Several Demo-
cratic speakers having complained of the
charges of disloyalty thrown out against their
party, Gen. Crooke, of Brooklyn, an old DEM
ocrat, is sketched as responding:
Everybody knew that Democrats, as a
body, were not all secessionists, but it was
lamentable fact that when man was found
whose sympathies were with the rebels he
naturally sagged over tothe Democratic party,
For this he did not blame the Democratic
party-it was their misfortune. This brought
down the house, He said that on his return
from Gettysburg with the Brooklyn troops
last July, ne was informed that organizations
were forming for secret purposes. He made
investigations in relation to this matter, and
ascertained that there were in Kings county
two such, with over fifteen hundred members
each, sworn to oppose any draft by the Gen
eral Government, and to stand by the State
and further, that every man of these ,eas either
so-caled Democrat or az alien. He did not state
this on hearsay, bit as an actual fact"

THE aREENBAcK QUESTION.

This appears TO be at present the allah
sorbing topic of public conversation. At
the meeting on Saturday night for the
nomination of delegates to the Constitu-
tioral Convention, the subject of the cur
rcncy was very extensively discussed.
Most of the speakers who were called out
favored the adoption of the greenback
currency. The discussion being somewhat
out Of order at that meeting, the consider
alton Of the question was postponed until
next Saturday evening, when grand
turnout will be held, and the matter fully
discussed by those best posted and most
directly interested therein. As some ac-
ton of positive and definite character
may possibly be taken on that occasion,
it would be well for citizens to ponder the
matter carefully and seriously in the mean
time, and be present at the meeting pre-
pared 10 vote intelhgently upon the ques-
ton. The Virginia papers generally favor
the proposition. 1t Is evident to US that
any action or even agitation of the queS-
ton of substituting legal tender notes for
our present metallic currency, until Cali
fornia as State, and its people as indivi-
duals, have adopted the change, will be
pernicious TO our interests. We shall,
therefore, advocate the let-alone policy,
until California has acted in the matter,
and decry the present talk, which will
avail nothing. When our leading import
ers, bankers, and monied men are ready,
we will advocate the measure. And in
thus deciding, we give it as our opinion
that such a change is inevitable, within
the next two years, but to-day it is pre-
mature, unadviSable, and injurious to all
our best interests, mining and mercantile.

SOLDIERS VS.. FREEDMEN.

Under this caption the Sacramento Bee re-
fers to the project of raising money for the
support of the freedmen" a matter to
which we have heretofore referred, and says:
The pressing necessity Ito which the entire
coast is respouding) for aid to the sanitary Fund
occasioned by the recent destructive battles, has
not stirred up the San FranciscauS to make their
usual display of charity in that behalf. To be
sure, at the election on Tuesday they did raise
81 SUO for the fund, o little more than four bits
for each Union voter who visited tire polls and
this is all the extra work they have done in the
present emergency. But If San Francisco char
ity does not respond to the needs of the sick and
wounded soldiers who have suffered in their coun'
try's behalf it seems to be bubbling up In another
direction, for we see that mass meeting has been
called TO raise funds to aid the freed negroes
We have ne disposition to dictate to San Fran
cisco as 10 the objects on which they shall besIow
their charities yet II does to us that until
the sick and wounded soldiers are fully provided
for, other objects Of charity less worthy less de-
serving and less suffering, should be passed over.
The freed negroes have been used to labor the
demand for labor in the East is great, and If their
freedom is not 10 be a curse to themselves and to
the country, they should be taugh: to labor for
their own subsistence. This travelling around
the country being means for their support not
only tends TO encourage them in idleness but
will if pursued too far render the idea Of univer
sal emancipation extremely distasteful to the
minds of the people Not only this, it is absorb
ing money which we are in duty bound to be
stow on other objects.

THE MAIL QUESTION.

The ventilation Of the mail abuses, to which
the people of Gold Hill are subjected, is pro-
ducing a proper effect. 1t has set the parties
involved at the work of investigating where
the fault really lies. The Postmaster at this
place has written to the other Offices below,
and received answers concerning the matter.
The San Francisco man says he sends all
Territorial matt matter to the Sacramento
Distributing Office, and washes his hands OF
the matter. The official at Sacramento says
that he sends the matter to the Carson Valley
office for Territorial distribution. The Car
son Postmaster writes the following letter,
and as we have spoken pretty roughly about
that office, we publish his letter entire. Ii
his statements are correct, neither he nor the
Stage Company are to blame in the matter ::
CARSON CITY, May 81 ls64.
POSTMASTER AT GOLD HILL DEAR SIR ::
Yours OF yesterday came duly 10 hand this morn
ing. Now. then, in regard to the mails : Instruc'
tons from the p. o. Department are, that the
mails coming from the West shall DO put up ~
Sacramento as follows Separate sacks for Car
son City, Virginia and Austin, 10 contain the
mail matter for the smaller offices in the vicinity
OF each WHICH W W uPcuCu ~ HO SAhSSS
along the route. except at those to which they
are TAGGED.
Sacramento is also required 10 put up daily,
at that office, an iron lock ray-saek. TO contain
the mail bill TO collect and distribute the mail
matter at the intermediate offices, and TO be
opened AZ ell the Offices on the route"
BY these instructions you will notice that
have nothing to do with the sacks tagged Viz
yinia and Austin. only TO see that they come TO
hand as per mail bill and are promptly sent for
ward. All the sacks we open here are those
tagged Carson City and Salt Lake way.
To save You trouble and labor. have hereto
fore separated your mail and put it up in a sack
BY itself Jagged silver City and Gold Hill, and
which has gone forward by the same stage as the
salt Lake way bag If any mail matter has come
back to YOU from Virginia City, it has been put
INTO the Virginia bag az Sacramento, instead Of
in the " Salt Lake way ur Carson bag, and the
fault Of which you complain is somewhere else
than AZ this Office. Hereafter, your mail will be put
into the salt Lake way " bag, as per instruc-
ton from the p. o. Department
Very respectfully yours,

THE EASTERN NEWS.

The Geographic dispatches received
since ours of Saturday last, have not been
of that importance which the kilograms
of that date led US to expect. THERE'S no
intelligence of moment from the Army Of
the Potomac later than the 18th, at which
time the situation of the grand armies was
not materially changed, and no great
battle was reported, such as from the dis
patch of the 18th seemed imminent, al
though quite sharp fight took place on
the 10Th. General Banks has been ordered
to report at New Orleans; which looks as
though his unsuccessful campaign was
likely TO shelve him. The Richmond
Examiner thinks that the defeat of the
rebel army OF Virginia would burst up the
Confederate organization. ave believe
you, my boy" The New York World
and Journal of Commerce, hoaxed by
bogus proclamation, which they were in
cautious enough to publish, have been
closed by the Provost Marshal. The
Herald discovered the hoax in time to
suppress its edition. Sherman On the
18th, was still pounding away at john
ston near Kingston, Ga. Sempa, Flori-
da, was captured by the Federal forces on
the 4th. Averill has been whipping the
rebels in Western Virginia. Sam Medary
has been arrested. The cause is not
stated" says the dispatch, but the mat
ter is, of course, the Crisis.

UNSUPPORTED.

A. B. Paul, Esq, requests US to state
that in the remarks made by him at the
meeting at Virginia on Saturday night, he
is grossly unsupported by the reporter Of
the Message Among other misrepresent-
atoms he points to the following:
Mr. Paul did not think the financial affairs Of
the nation were conducted with as much wisdom
as they might be- for he said that Mr.. Chase's
system had killed all the banks in the Eastern
States"
Mr.. Paul says that he said no such
thing. He said that Mr.. Chase's system
was one of the grandest schemes ever de-
vised, inssmuch as it had effectually killed
off all the unreliable banks in the Eastern
States.
The following remarks, attributed to
him BY the Message, he never made, and
is a fabrication of the brain of the re-
porter:
He had studied the subject Of greenbacks
pretty thoroughly, and As soon as he was con-
WINGED that he could make money by ii, he should
favor the adoption Of sreeubacks as currency"
1t was stated at the meeting that they
would consult the bankers. Mr.. Paul
said he did not want them to consult the
bankers, but to consult the people of the
Territory he desires to express to the
Message his preference that if that paper
goes to the trouble to report him at all,
they will do 50 correctly.

THAT CHALLENGE.

The Union yesterday morning in copy
ing the challenge made by Gold Hill on
the Sanitary Fund matter, makes an error
which changes the character of the article
materially. The challenge properly
reads:

within thirty days raise sum equal in proper.

tutonal vote as the basis and pay !: TO the Trea-
surer Of the Sanitary Commission of its county.

Sanitary Commission, Will present that city or
town with tweuty-four foot American Ensign,

The printer in the Union has made it
read "the Treasurer of the Sanitary Fund

town in any other county would raise a
fund and send it to Storey county and
waive for its own county the credit Justly
its due. Each county has its own SAM

JUDGE LOCKE.

More than two weeks ago, Judge Locke,
of the Supreme Court, was charged
through the columns of the press, with
acts of fraud and corruption of eharac-
ter calculated to make the popular hair
stand The people are not willing to be-
Eeve charges of SO terrible nature against
one whose character has thus far stood
unimpeached, and the public judgment
was suspended for time, hoping that the
injustice of the allegations would be
speedily shown. Day after day passed by
without a word of denial or explanation
from Judge Locke, who, so far from boldly
confronting his accusers, remains hidden
in some unknown retreat. This silence
seemed to virtually admit his guilt, and
the public murmuring became more gen.
eral and outspoken. A week ago last
Saturday, the Washoe Star announced
that the Judge was in that town, and
would in the next number of that paper
publish full explanation Of the charges
made against him, and asked for a suspen-
sion of the public opinion until such pub
lished explanation could be made. The
people awaited the forthcoming of that
paper with interest. The Washoe Star
was published last Saturday, as usual;
hut there was in its columns no allusion to
Judge Locke. Judge Locke has vanished
from the gaze of the people Of Nevada
Territory; the place of his whereabouts
none may conjecture. 1t looks, however,
to the speculative eye as though, over
whelmed with the shame of detected guilt,
he had fed the country forever. If we
wrong the man by this publicly expressed
suspicion of the truth of the charges made
against him, we are sorry for it; but the
fault is his own. The suspicion is the
natural sequence of every act of the man
since the charges were made.
