The Mayor aud the co,ored schools.

The Mayor aud the Colored schools.
We have read with astonishmcnt and re-
gret report signed by the trustees of col
ored schools, rejecting In an unbecoming
manner, aud unjustly, on the course of
Mayor Bowen In his official action relative
to the colored schools ofthis city and George
town. Our citizens who know and apprc-
ciate that the Mayor was the father Of these
schools; that he has done more than any
other man In this District-much more, we
hesitate not to declare, than all the present
trustees oombined-to maintain aud support
them. will be slow to believe that he has
been guilty Of the charges contained in this
| report
In regard TO the claim Of some forty thou
sand dollars, set up by the trustees on nc.
count Of the Increase Of the proportion of
colorcd children over the whites. as shown
by the partial census Of 1867, we have to
state that before any communication could
be considered by the Mayor on the subject
the trustees had appealed to the Councils,
and bill had been maturcd and was about
that time brought forward in aid Of the
| claim, which bill was rejected and failed to
become law. We happen to know that
the Mayor afterwards declined action in
regard to it, and Informed member of the
board of trustees that as they s'had appeale,l
10 Cesar Mcy rould hare 70 abide C,fsar's ju,lg-

Had the trustees shown dIspostion TO do
the Mayor Justice, they would have asccr-
tanned the facts before asserting that bc had

VOLUME 16. NUMBER 1.

Fifteen years ago little bark was
launched on the sea of Literature and
christened the MANIrowoc TRIBUNE. 1t
slid into the stormy waters easily and at
once commenced to buffet the waves that
beat about it. It proved to be construct
ed of good material, for though the
storms have often roared through its
rigging it has never shown any indication
of being swamped. 1t has been over
hauled and rebuilt till not stick of the
original timber is left. At starting it
was constructed of "a columns but it now
has 4S. 1t has changed commanders
several times, but owners only once. Its
name remains the same, though once to
strengthen its knees the timbers of a lit
tie ship called the Herald were added to
it. Owing to circumstances, which no
navigator could control, it has, until
within year or two, had head winds
almost continually, but now-thanks to
kind Providence-it sails over smooth
seas, ing-and-wing. flying at its peak
the motto of Equal Rights to all Men."
That it will bring to its owners better
remuneration than ever before, for the
labor performed upon it, we confidently
hope and expect, and as heretofore our
craft shall be improved as fast as the
freights she receives will warrant the
outlay.

THE DIFFICULTY WITH ENGLAt6.

There is no Disgusting the fact that the
difficulty existing between this country
and Great Britain, on account of the losses
we sustained by privateers built and fitted
out on British soil, is daily becoming a
serious matter. At first it seemed but a
mere speck in the eastern horizon and
word OF regret for its conduct from Eng
land and that speck, even, would have
sunk iG to the sea Of forgetfulness But
instead ofregret we had a naughty denial
OF our right to claim damages from them.
Time passes along and they begin to fear
that the United States may be stronger
power than they had supposed and now
they talk IF settlement, but still they
do not make any offer which a nation
with the least particle of selfrespect could
entertain for an instant. In fact the Sen
ate rejected their proposal with only one
dissenting voice, and now the claim on
England will be SO large that if it is paid
those who sustained losses by her breach
of the neutrality laws will receive ample
reward for all damages, and if it is not
paid there may be war in which Elm gland
will lose her British Possessions, and
see. the beginning of the end of her great
ness as one of the ruling national powers.

Steedman's Expedition for Cuba.

WASHINGTON, April Is.
kilograms from Savannah lead the
friends of the Cuban revolution here to
believe that General j. B. Steedman has
been successful in landing in Cuba with
a picked force of men, The expedition
has been in preparation for a number of
months Steedman himself spent two
weeks in Havana, and during the latter
part of the time was so far under arrest
as to be ordered quietly by the Captain
General to report to him daily The first
rendezvous of his party was on one of the
islands near New Orleans. When Ad-
miral Hof received his first orders the
headquarters of the expedition were
changed to point on the Florida coast.
A blockade runner captured from the
rebels in the late war was obtained, and
the belief is that nearly thousand men,
we'll supplied with arms, and thoroughly
accustomed to them, are landing. The
Cuban leaders have been fully acquainted
with Steedman' movements tor some
time. Information has been received
that bodies of men are nightly drilling in
New York, whose ultimate destination is
Cuba, though they will probably not leave
direct from that city. @
1t may be stated in this connection
that the Navy Department has just added
FIVE vessels to the squadron in the South
Atlantic, so that it now consists of eleven
vessels, with an aggregate of l09 guns.

MINISTER TO SwrrzERLArD-We fully

MINISTER TO SwITzERLAND-We fully
endorse the following from the Sentinel
THE appointment of Horace .Rublee
Minister to Switzerland will be very sat
isfactozy to the people Of Wisconsin, and
is in every respect the best that could
have been made. As editor of the Madi-
son Journal and as Chairman of the Re
publican Central Committee, Mr.. Rublee
has performed laborioos and effective
services for the party, which amply deserve
such recognition. Moreover he is a
gentleman of superior attainments, and
a devoted student of modern langua ges
and literature, and will make creditable
minister from the greatest to the least
republic.
In congratulating Mr.. Rublee upon his
appointment, which we most cordially do,
We wish him to distinctly understand that
the people of Wisconsin have still claims
upon him. They demand that he shall
write regularly to the journal and tell
them in his inimitable style of his obser-
vations and experience in Europe. In
due time, too, shall we not have all these
served up in the form of book? If we
detect any disposition on his part to neglect
this manifest duty and affect the ease with
dignity" of the diplomatist, we shallinsist
upon his being recalled straightway from
the Helvetian capital.
