in this city, yesterday, were Mr.. Arthur Cham
bers, the light weight champion of England,
and Mr. George Rookie, the middle weight
champion of America. They missed the last
boat for Washington i'll the evening and
were compelled TO remain over here all night.
1t appears that the former had an engagement
at the Clipper office, in New York, to-day, and
when he found that he had been left, he called
the latter IN American sneak, and accused him
of causing the detention In response nc re-
ceived severe blow on the mouth, and an ex-
temporaneous combat would have ensued had
not mutual friends iDterposed. The difficulty
was afterwards amicably adjusted and the par
ties started off this morning together. At IN
exhibition given in Washington on Saturday
night last, the "wind up of the evening was
between George Rookie and Terry Ryan Of this

spied the Maryland police steamer on her way
up the river, and though they were not infrisg-
ing upon any body $ rights, and consequently
were not violating the law, they became alarm
cd, and hastily lowering their sail, took their
oars, and rowed away to the shore AS rapidly
as they could. Their net, which they left, was
not molested of courses and after the steamer
passed they returned and took itup.

MEETING OF COUNTY SCHOOL BoARDs-A
convention of the several Boards Of District
School Trustees for the County of Alexandria,
was held at the Superintendent Office, IN this
city, on Saturday afternoon last, at the request
of that officer. who desired advice rs to the
amount of the tax to be proposed to the peo-
pie of the county, to be voted on at the town.
ship elections, on the 18th Of May.
There were present, from Jefferson District :
Philip Rotchford, John R. Johnston and John
Slater; from Arlington District George Roszcl
Adams, Garrett B. Wibert and Harvey Bailey
and from Washington District: Henry W.
Febrey and Geo. OFT Wunder, esqrs
The Superintendent stated his reasons for
calling the trustees together, and informed
them that the share Of State money coming to
Jefferson District would probably be $46l; that
of Arlington District $47l; and that of Wash
ington District 1920, and that he desired infor-
nation as to how much more would be needed
to keep their schools open next year, and how
many months they wished them kept open.
A full and free interchange of opinions fol
lowed all the trustees expressing desire to
have the schools kept open for ten months,
Zone said he'd keep them open twelve months
if he could and the trustees of Washington
District, in particular, lin which the approprla-
ton was rejected last year, advocating tax
sufficient to support the schools WELL and prom
Using heavy majority from their district in
favor of it.
Some difficulty arose in adjusting the amount
of tax, from the fact that Washington Town
ship is much more thuy settled than the other
two, while jefferson, being near the city, has
greater facilities for schools; but al the trustees
treating the subject in the most conciliatory |
manner, resolution offered by Mr.. Adams, to |
advise the Superintendent to propose Il tax of
one mill and a half on dollar, WAS unanimous |
ly adopted.
After discussing several matters relating to |
their different schools, location Of new school |
houses, text books, &c in their several Boards,
the meeting adjourned.

CAIRNS for the SOuth.''

y We find the following tom in
the Washington City Chronicle,
whose controlling spirit is the
impcachcd and disgraced' OK
Governor of North Carolina, w.
w. Holden III FL
1t is reported that for months
past a firm in New York city has
been profitably engaged in ship
ping lots of arms and ammuni-
ton to tho Southern States.
They consist of the Spencer rifles
and the smaller munitions of war,
and are packed secretly and for
warded in small lots, so as to
allay suspicion.
This statement is not without
foundation, it having been re-
ported by reliable parties.
Is there any clause in the Con-
stitution, or any congressional
enactment, Or any presidential
ul>ase forbidding the purchase of
arms-aye, of Spencer rifles-by
the people of the South? When,
since Massachusetts sold her
slaves to Southern men, has
there been Il prohibition prevent
ing loyal Northern men selling
anything they have for sale, to
Southern men?
Does tho Chronicle admit that
reconstruction is q failure-that
the States of the South arc not
States? ..
But there may he, after all, a
grain of truth in the item quoted.
A secret Radical organization,
VIC observe, called the National
Guards, is springing up in por-
tons of the South, and one of
it's features is it's division into
regiments. No doubt these arms
arc wanted by these loyal and
peaceable citizens; to be used, of
course, i'm preserving order at the
South! lido. -g
