Mr.. SUMMERS MIXED SCHOOL BILL-In the
Senate, to-day, Mr.. Sumner again introduced
his bill to secure equal rights in the public
schools Of Washington and Georgetown. Ii
provides that the Board of Trustees Of colored
schools shall be abolished and that the duties of
that board shall hereafter be exercised AMI per-
formed by the trustees OF public schools for the
cities Of Washington and GEORGETOWN, or bv
such persons as have official control of the pub-
NC schools in either of these places; but no dis
unction on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude shall be made IN the asl-
mission OF pupils TO any Of the public schools
under the control of such trustees OF other per-
sons, or In the mode OF education or treatment
OF pupils in such schools; snd hereafter instead
OF separate funds there shall be one common
tundin these cities set apart and devoted to edu-
cational purposes in accordance with this act
The name OF any child applying for admission
TO public school, and of every person applying
Tor service as teacher, shall be recordedin the
order OF Application, and acted on accordingly;
but there shall BE- no preference among appii-
cants on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servtude, nor shall there be
on this account any difference in the
grade or compensation Of teachers. All the
provisions of the act shall be applicable IN
all respects to the board of commissioners az
private schools OF W ashington county. ID. T.
III any trustee, commissioner, OF other persop
having control of the public schools sha violate
any OF the provisions of the act, or attempt 80 20
do, lis official powers in the premises shall, ipso
tacto cease and be vacated and il shall be the
duty OF the proper persons appointing such trus.
tee, commissioner, or other person, to supply the
vacancy with as little delay as possible and in
such appointment there shall be no distinction
Oh account Of race, color, or previous condition
Oh servitude And any person excluded from
tne efual rights herein secured, shall be entitled
to recover damages therefor in an action on the
person duly authorized to sue i'm behalf Re-
ferred to the District Of Columbia COMMITTEES.
NOT TO BE SOLD OUT.-After a careful i'm.
vestigation Solicitor Banfeld, of the Treasury
department, has come to the conclusion not to
levy upon the personal effects of either Mar,ien
or johnson, who were lately arrested on the
charge OF embezZement. Both of them lived
very plainly, and 1t Is thought that their house.
hold effects would not together bring g 900 at a
public sale, to say nothing Of the legal exemp-
uon. 1t Is therefore not deemed advisable 10
distress their families tor the sake Of recovering
few hundred dollars.
SETH JOHNSON, late Treasury clerk, who was
committed to Jail few days since charged with
embeZz!ement of public money from the Treas
ury Department, was bro ght before the Police
Court this morning for the purpose of giving
bonds for action OF the grand jury, but the
parties offered not being satisfactory to the
court, he was recommitted to jail.
