The REPLY OF THE TEUsTEHS.-By the repIy
Of the Trustees of the Colored Schools 10 the
Mayor. published elsewhere, it will be seen
that another complication of the eolored school
question is now created, by the refusal of the
Trustees to accept the amount voted by the
Councils as full payment of the moneys due
the colored schools. This will be bad news to
all interested in the welfare OF our public
schools.
Ii will be remembered that the City Councils.
after great delay and difficulty. passed "a com.
promise bill, which seemed to afford an AMIGA
bic and satisfactory settlement of the vexed
question; by N liking an appropriation for the
payment Of e arrearages due the colored
schools upon the full amount decided TO be due
them by the Supreme Court of the District
This action of the Trustees of the colored
schools, however. sets the whole matter AT sea
again, as they proclaim their purpose 10 re-
sIst the decision of the Court: 10 repudiate
the settlement of the question made by
ihe City Councils with snch unanimity by
both parties; and TO accept the large sum
voted by the Councils for the colored schools
only as so much paid On account of the
arrearages due. They seem to indulge an ex-
peciation that Congress VIII sustain them in
this course, but from what we can learn
there is little likelihood that their ex
pectation will be realized, as leading
Republican members have expressed an
opinion (and the House District Committee.
We hear, has so decidedly that special legislation
OF this sort would be improper and inadvisa-

TIE CASE or SECRETARY srASrox.-It is

THE CASE or SECRETARY SrANToY-It is
learned that a report on the case of Secretary
Stanton has been completed, and Senator How
ard, who has charge of the matter on the part
of the Senate, will lay 1t before that body on
next Monday, providing an executive session
is held, as the subject can only come
up as confidential matter in such
session, and not in open Senate. The
report will fully exonerate Mr.. Stanton
from the charges made against him by the Pres
ident in his reasons for Secretary Stanton's
suspension. Secretary Stanton has not, how
ever, allowed the matter to rest here. but i'm a
forthcoming report will undertake, it is stated,
TO give the history of his dealings with the
President, from his own stand point.
The friends of Mr.. Stanton, W no are informed
in regard TO statements contained in Senator
Howard's report, hold that Secretary Stanton
had made ont "A strong argument, not only in
his own behalf but against the President
They aver that there is no doubt, b,t when this
report is read to the Senate that tfere will not
be a single vote against Stanton's reinstate-
ment from the Republicans. Many of
the Radical Senators are urging privately
/. upon Mr.. Stanton not to Immediately
'tender his resignation to the President when
he has been reinstated, but to return TO the War
Department and reliev Gen. Grant. tits stated
Dy parties WHO cidiil 10 U Wen 1nfOrme1 IN re-
gard to Gen. Grants ideas on this subject that
the latter will. in case of the Senate sustaining
Stanton, immediately retire from the War
Office, assuming that the law forbids him pur.
suing any other course. This is expect
ed to be done, even in case the Presi.
dent should order him 10 remain. Secre-
tary Stanton. it seems, has no intention
10 enter upon duties permanently, shouldhp be
reinstated, where he would be in direct con-
fiict with the President, but will merely remain
in the War Office for few days to show that
his action so far is sustained

the maritime laws of the United States, there
was then no desertion. He might be guilty OF
no desertion under an unobjectionable agree
ment TO ship, made at place where there was
no officer to certify to it, and the act of deser-
ton done during the transit to the first Con-
sular port; but holding the contract for the
reasons given improper, | can not find the
libellant guilty of desertion, either under the
statute or the general maritime law.
1t is only necessary to refer to the case cited
by the respondents counsel himself-Jame-
son VS. ship Reguaus, l, Peters Admiralty de-
cisions, page 2l2-as 10 the rule for fixing
the amount OF wages for seaman shipped
without signing articles. He must be paid
at the highest rate of wages, given at the port
of shipment within three months next pre-
cedent The Court say it was fixed at the
highest rate, that masters might be more on
their guard etc. What that wages should
be, cannot be determined by the rates at
Bravo, for we are not informed of them. We
must be guided by the rates shewn bv wit
nesses, both for respondent and libellant,
customary at Honolulu, the port of discharge
and settlement
Allowing then, that the libellant was not
bound by his contract to remain in the vessel
at the pleasure of the MASTER but might at
any convenient time put an end to it by his
own act; it has not been contended that any
Inconvenience has resulted TO the master by
his leaving at this port, or that it would be
even necessary TO supply his place by another
hand, or if so, that there could be any diff
Guilty in filling the vacancy at this port.
My opinion is, that there has been no de-
sertion within the meaning of the law, and
decree the libellant entitled to the 1-150 lay
as ordinary seaman in the 80 barrels of oil
taken prior to arrival at Api, and after leav-
ing that place he is entitled to a higher lay,
the LIS of the ships catehings, less the 80
barrels, deducting all payments which have
been made in the course of the voyage.
