THR negroes Of Washington do not ar
precjate the carpet-bag system when it is
brought closely home TO them. A short
time ago-the trustees of colorcc schools dis
missed the school superintendent. who is q
native of that city, and employed in his
stead a man named CAIRO, from Philadel-
phia. This has greatly excited the cnlored
people who held a mass meeting on Tues
doy at which they denounced the impor-
taticn of teachers, when they have, as they
think, good enough material to educate
their youth. They demand a change in
the whole system of the management OF
the colored schools, alleging that they arc
misrepresented by the present board. The
board consists of three members, all OF
whom are appointed by the Secretary Of
the Interior.

We judge that the entire Republican
Legislative ticket is elected in each of the
Representative Districts, and also in the
two Senatorial Districts, but there was so
much scratching that fuller returns
must be received before the result can be
ascertained in all the cases. The Irish
generally voted the Democratic Legisla-

Returns from other parts of the State
indicate that the Republicans have carried

tired for the night, but feeling unwell he
rose and went down into the sitting room.
He sat down on the sofa, but Immediately
fell forward To the foor-dead. The
family was present. He died from neu-
raligia OF the heaJt. The day before his
death he was on the street. though not
in good health. The Hon. Elisha Eg
bert was elected Judge of the Seven
teenih Common Pleas District Of this
State in the year 1852. and has held the
position ever since. He was man ex-
iensively known, and a man of most ex-
emplary character. He was genial very
social and pleasant in the relations of
lie. He was good Christian man. and
a member OF the Methodist church, we
believe The burial took place last Mon
day afternoon, under the care of the
Knights Templar. A large number of
Knights and other Masons were pre- sen
from abroad, and the procession was
most imposing as the multitude moved -
the grave with solemn music. The school
children also formed part of the process
sion, and very large number of citizens.
The tokens of respect showed the memo

siion he held in the estims:ion of tie
many who have known him well. We
shall miss Judge Egter, in this place
where he was always welcomed in his
official capacity and citizen. His place
is now yacant-but The memory of one
so good and great cannot perish.
