THE FIRST TROOPS To DEPEND THE Ma
TIoNAL CAPIToL-As the propositions pending
IN Congress to reward with medals the first
troops from Pennsylvania aud Massachusetts,
who volunteeredfor the defence of the National
Capital at the commencement of the rebellion
IN ls6l, has again started the discussion of a
question long since settled by the records in the
war Department, as to what soldiers were first
to enter the service; il may be as well TO state
that 4,'O volunteers from the District of CO.
iumbia for three months service were enrolled
III the United States army and on duty in this
city, before single volunteer from any State
had been enlisted, and that some of the 4.721
District men were in service seventeen days
before any troops reached here from the north.
Capt Dubant's company OF three months men
enrolled here, received the Sixth Massachusetts
at the railroad depot, that company having then
been nearly three weeks in the service of the
government. We trust, therefore, the claims of
the District Volunteers will not be overlooked
IN any legislation by Congress on the subject.
While We are setting this matter right il will
not be amlss to remind some writer's and speak
ers, who ignorantly or Intentionally continue to
co gross injustice TO the people here by repre-
sentlng them as being during the war ga nest of
rebels" that those same records at the War
Department show that the District of Columbia
furnished S2,O03 men to aid in depressing the
rebellion, nearly as many as either New Hamp-
shire, Cji,6O5), or Vermont, (35, 605); and more
than either Rhode Island, (3,5ll), West Viz
ginia, (l6.s72), or Minnesota, (25, O3D.

BAD CONDITION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND
The more We learn of Mayor Bowen's mis-
management Of the Corporation finances during
the past two years, the worse II looks. Take
only one fund as an illustration: By act of the
City Councils approved December % 1865 there
was appropriated for the support of the Public
Schools for the fiscal year ending June 3Oth 1869.
sl61,s62-5e. For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1870, by act approved November %, 1863,
SlSS'i2o. Total appropriated for two years of
Mayor Bowen's administration, s345.3g 81
During the two fiscal years to date, the Treas
q arer OF Public Schools has drawn from the CITY
Register, IN bonds, so ,66s.7O; in warrants.
elSs,1394O. Total amount drawn to date 500. =
eeS.lO. OF this sum there were paid on the in
debtedness contracted prior to July 1, 1865
The bonds, S29,66s.IO, and cash, 50 .2S7 49,
Total, sS2 ,956l9. Leaving for current indebted
ness only, s195, S51.91, which deducted from
amount OF appropriations as above, s345, 3s7 So
shows the amount due the Public Schools to he
SIS, $3.50.
The appropriations made for these wears were
based on very car eful estimates made by the
Trustees Of Public Schools, and it is probable
that the present Indebtedness will about equal
the amount here shown as yet due the public
schools, though this cannot be ascertained for
the following reasons Many creditors, with the
intention of obtaining money on their bills else
where, procured them from the secretary.
Others declined TO present bills until the Cor
poration should be prepared to pay them. Thus
the figures of Indebtedness on account of pub
lie schools cannot now be ascertained. They
will not vary much, however, from $4,000.
Should the teachers not be paid on the 3Oth of
June their salaries for the months Of July and
August, five months pay will be due them
Those poor persons who take care OF school,
rooms have received no money since the teach
ers were paid, and nearly all the rent and fuel
bllls for the present fiscal year remain unpaid;
also, bill OF over $1,000 due for books, maps,
papers, &C., as well as large amounts for re-
pairs of school-houses, for school furniture.

From the publishers, through Blanchard s.

following:
The Life Of Bismarck, Private and Political.
By George Louis Heskiel, author Of " Faust and
Don JUAN" etc. Translated by Kenneth r. II.
Mackenzie, +. 8. A. New York: Harper &
Brothers; We get here, what we want, toler-
ably Ineligible picture of Bismarck as a whole
The writer paints, with a rather vigorous hand,
his entire career, following his course until his
strong, da,ing and headlOng youth has been
gradually moulded into the astute and progress
sive statesman. Perhaps the least successful
portion of the work is the attempt to whitewash
Blsmarck's early advocacy Of the doctrine of
divine right to the possession Of the crown Of
Prussia. Otherwise the author seems to have
made good use of abundant material, and his
book is valuable contribution to modern biog-
raphy.
Queen Hortense. An Historical Novel. By
l.. Muhlbach. Translated from the German by
Chapman Coleman. New York: ID. Appleton
& Co. One of the abundant but eyer-popular
series of Muhlbach historical novels.
Memoir of the Rev. John Scudder, NJ. ID.
Thirty-six years missionary in India. By Rev.
j. b. Waterbury, ID. ID. New York: Harper &
Bros. DR.. Scudder has been Hkened to the
Apostle Paul for the reason that he was ever in
motion, and his labors were spread over an i'm
mense territory. This memoir of the great mis-
sionary evangelist will doubtless interest large
circle Of readers.
"woman's Friendship "Home Scenes"
"Vale Of Cedars." By Grace Agullar. New
York: ID. Appleton & Co. These three works
constitute volumes Iii, Nv and of the hand
some new edition of Grace Aguilar's works
ublished, by Appleton s. Co. Grace Aguilar
belonged to the Maria Edgeworth school of
writers OF mild romance with Smoral tone; and
she is perhaps more widely read than Miss
Edgeworth even. Volume ~ ga The Vale of
Cedars") has memoir of Miss Aguilar.
The Vicar Of Bulhampton. A novel. By
Anthony Trollope. New York: Harper &
Brothers. This is hardly up to the mark OF
" Framley Parsonage" and /" Orley Farm, but
is quite readable, as anything from Trollope is
sure to be. The illustrations are profuse and
very good
"Henrietta Temple. A love story" "Con-
tarini Fleming. An autobiography" By the
Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli. New York: ID.
Appleton s. Co. The interest created by Dis
raeli's new novel, "Lothair," has doubtless
made demand for his earlier novels, which
Appleton & Co. are supplying in a cheap but
well-printed style.
The History of Queen Hortense, Daughter of
Josephine, Queen of Holland, Mother of Napo-
leon iii. By John s. q. Abbott. New York:
Harper & Brothers. Like all the Abbott Napo-
leoDic histories, rather dauby. but Containing
enough fresh matter to give 1t considerable
interest.
