Gauzy Muntficence.

For several days it has been rumored that
the gentlemen engaged in maligniug the
District government, obstructing public i'm
proyements, and abusing public officers intend
ed doing an act that would demonstrate how
unjust and ungenelOus have been the charges
made against them in the public press. Last
night this threatened act of overwhelming re.
buke eliminated in a verbal offer, said to have
been made by Mr.. COrcoran, to loan to the
white school-teachers of Geoi getown This ma,
tive city, one months salary on their individual
notes, without interest. We can readily see
with what ease Mr.. Corcoran can do this little
act OF ostentatious charity. He owes about
twenty thousand dollars Of taxes, and instead
OF paying 1t into the common treasury of the
District, as other citizens have done, he pro-
poses to go through the public farce of loaning
lets than half that sum TO certain class OF
school teachers in this District on their notes.
1t will be noticed that this offer is little re-
markable. 1t is only made to the school board
OF Georgetown, and Is confined exclusively to
the teachers of white schools. The board, of
which Mr.. Corcoran's business manager is pres
ident, went through an unnecessary amount OF
ceremony In matter entirely and absolutely
beyond their duty. The teachers of the District
are like any other public officers; they honestly
earn their salary, and are entitled TO their pay
from the government; they are neither inmates
OF the Louise Home nor pensioners in any
shape, and the school board are neither their
guardians nor business agents; they are capable
OF transactiDg their own business, and this
vaingioIious action of the board, proposing a
vote OF thanks for Mr.. Corcoran's offer to
loan money on the individual notes of the
teachers, is as offensive as it is ridiculous
They have no authority in their official capacity
10 go through the formula of publicly accepting
any such self-laudatory propositions from Mr.
Corcoran, or any one else. We do not recollect
OF such plain, evident, conspicuous act OF self
glorihcatiOn as this proposition of Mr.. Corco-
ran. We call to mind a banker of the capitaI of
a state where owing to the delay in appropria-
ton, the legislature had not been paid, who
wrote public letter proposing to discount their
pay-bilis without interest. The bride and the
claptrap were so paIpable that, however honest
the man may have been in his offer, no one ac-
cepted 1t, and 1t only excited ridicule and con-
tempt - CbroficIs w.
