Nh. srANIoN's STATEMENT REGARDING rHE
" SCHOOL FUND.
Mr.. Stanton. We have the additional and
documentary testimony that was asked for nv
the committee Yesterday. together with some
other matters.
We have all the vouchers relating to public
schools. with the SINGLE execution Of
vouchers relating to the colored schools, which
| hnd are in the custody, not of auy of the DIS
trict officers, Blu. of the different trcasurers Of
the Board of Trustees of Colored Schoola +
will have occasion to refer to the acts of Con-
gress governing the colored schools, and il viii
be seen how entirely these vouchers are out OF
the control of the District poyerpment- In
order that the committee NAV see the applics.
ton of this testimony, and in order also that
some misapprehension which has arisen NAV
be removed, we desire to avail ourselves of the
same privilege which was accorded to the on
posing counsel the other day, and that is Of
calling the attention of the committee specially
to some of the matters already in evidence,
showing the application also to some which Ia
adduced to-day.
The INQUIRY. when n firsf started ont seemed
IN on To the mint whether or mot an ths rronew
collected for school taxes had been annied IN
school purposes. There seemed tn have haen
an impression that the revenue collected for
school taxes had been anniied IN other mr.
poses than school purposes. and that impres.
sion seemed to have effected a loiIomept IN
some minds. But in the course of the inonirv
I think 1t NAV be assured that II was nroyed
that all the revenue collected for school tares
was applied to school purposes. and not
only that, but that the District Govern
ment applied to school purposes, in excess
Of the revenue received Nor scbooi taIes
the sum of SIZE. 900. Another criticism and
another kind of Charge Wss made and that hat
was that that excess of S17s n00 an

able ingenuity and will have proved the
District government to have been In
the wrong. What I want particularly
now, to address nv remarks to, is an
other charge which was brought here four days
Afterwards, and introduced here for the first
time, namely That there having been ST ate
ment of occount, and on the settlement of the
sinking fund commissioners and the District
government in 1871, whereby certain bonds
were passed over to the District government ON
