6a0okLYN BOARD or EDUcATi9S.

The Board OF Education met yesterday afternoon
at their rooms in Red Hook lane Dr. Thorne in the
chair.
Mr.. Thomas Kinsela, chairman Of the copnittee
Of inquiry into the manner in which supplies we're
furnished TO the Board, presented an eabe-
rate report. The manner In which coal had
been contracted for was severely criticised, and
the manner IN which books had been pur-
chased was, az the committee believed, an evil
dence OF favoritsm. 1t was shown that Messrs
Barnes Co. are willing to supply books published
BY them at much lower price than the Appleons
VINO had the supplying Of the Beard with these
articles.
The report charged DR.. Thorne, the President OF
the Board, with fayorifism In ordering books from
Appeton5.
Tue report closed by asking for the passage Of
resolution that the subject be referred back to the
committee, with the addition OF three other members
appointed by the chairman for the purpose of reor-
ganizinR the committees Of the Board for carrying
out plan OF reform. The report was received,
ordered 10 be printed and made the special order
for the next meeting OF the Board. No further busl-
ness OIL Importance was Transacted.

The Kings Ueunty Republican General Committee
met last night-at their headquarters in Washington
street, Brooklyn, Sias butcher in the chair. Mr.
William Richardson, chairman Of the committee
appointed to investigate the charges preferred
against W. H. N. Cadmus before the Eight Ward
Association reported that he received money for the
ward association and appropriated the same for his
own use; that MI. Martin gave him twenty dollars to
pay four men electioneer at the poll and that the
money was not paid over until the investigation was
commenced in January.
MIR. Joseph Reeve then submitted minority re-
port, setting forth that 'in regard to Mr.. Cadmus
having collected money for the ward association
Cadmus did collect the sum Of thirty dollars, and
publicly acknowledged it, but did not pay it to the
treasurer OF the ward until some two months after
the election, on account Of an old claim he had
divided, OF fifteen dollars. which had been &C.

stated that his dischargng the conductor alluded to
