National Associated Press to the Star.
RICHMOND, Oct. 24.-Our Charlie Ross
is getting interesting. From the attor-
neys for the abductors, g. w. Calder
wood and A. G. Lindimuth, reporter
learned the following yesterday after
noon: The first intimation that the Hind
mans, the abductors. had that Johnny
NJ ottitt was Charlie Ross came from the
child himself.
He was laying on sofa looking at an
illustrated history Of the Ross case, and
as he turned the leaves he came to
picture Of Waller Lewis Ross, brother
of Charley. This he kissed, and said /:
There is my brother. l wonder where
he is. | expect he is at Atlantic City"
He afterwards recognized the picture of
the Ross mansion, and told where his
swing was located, and where he en-
tered the carriage to go away. He said
they went down to the water, and they
gave him tin pan and two drum sticks
10 play with. Que man went away up
on a high hill, ana when he came back
he took him up to house with bIg
porch on it, and cut his curls OF.
He then went into big ship, and he
saw the steam 60 "Puf, pufP' He said
that the Motfitts tied him up in dark
closet. He talked intelligently of the
two children.
Tue Hindmans say he has seven marks
on his person corresponding to those
men toned in the account of The abduc-
ti0n.
Mofitt says nothing but that he can
prove that he had adopted Johnny be-
lore Charley Ross was stolen. He is
one of the wealthiest men in the place,
and the case creates much excitement.
Hindman's attorneys will attempt 10
take Johnny from Moffitt aud place him
in the custody Of the sheriff,

special 70 Une StAT.
WHO sLANDERED- STANLEY MATTHEWS?
WASHINGTON, Oct. PA newspaper
publication has appeared ret14cting up
on Stanley Matthews in his services be-
fore the Electoral Commission. When
it became known by members of the Ma
tional Republican Committee that sew
eraI distinguished gentlemen had ten
dered their services in support of Gov.
Hayes rights to the Executive office,
and were willing to serve without lees,
it was suggested by Appointment men,
Der Of the Executive Committee that it
would be becoming to make suitable
provisions for the entertainment of
these by the National Committee. Ar
rangements were accordingly made at
a certain hotel, and the proprietor was
instructed to attend to the wants of the
counsel and of any friends they might
wish to entertain.
1t is now authoritatively stated that
Mr.. Matthew'S bill was not the largest,
nor did it reach the sum stated in the
publication alluded to, nor did Secre-
tary Chandler, Chairman of the Com
mittee, express any displaasure at the
amount of the bills. All the bills were
made out to March 2, at which time the
deliberations of the Committee ter
minated. Senator Matthews left the
city at once. Mr.. Stoughton, when he
completed his duties, paid his own bill
and also left the oily.
Mr.. Evarts remained at Washington
some days afterwards, and said to the
proprietor Of the h otel that be desired to
pay his own bills after the date at
which the Committee closed its labors.
Great indignation is expressed at this
publication which appeared in New
Y York paper.
WILL SHERMAN RESIGN.
There is wild rumor going the rounds
10 the effect that Secretary Sherman has
resigned and is about to quit the Cabi-
net. No confirmation OF this report can
be obtained. General Sherman entirely
discredits the story, and says that he
does not believe that his brother would
lake such step without consulting him,
md that he has a level head, etc.
The only thing that gives a
color to the report Is the
lact that the holding of the late con-
terence Of Republican Congressman at
Secretary Sherman's residence, which
disclosed SO much hostility to the Ad.
ministration, is said at the White House
TO have been unauthorized. The publi-
cation Of the proceedings of this con-
terence has done the Administration
serious damage, though In point of fact
the basis of all this disaffection is the
refusal of the President TO allow these
congressman to dictate the appoint
nents as heretofore.

Teachers salaries.

Mr.. Editor:-A good deal Of dissatisfaction
exists throughout the county Mt the irregular
manner in which our teachers are paid, or
rather at the almost regular m1nner in which
:hey are not paid. The Treasury of the School
Board appears TO he in a state of chronic de-
plelion Not very long ago the schools were
closed at the end OF ihe third Quarter,i in order
that the School Board might catch up in its
finances Teachers, supposng that thereafter
things would he easier and that their salaries
would be regularly paid, acquiesced in the loss
Of the fourth quarter without protest. But
there was no Improvement. Last year, with
the same end in view of making things easier,
salaries were scaled twelve per cent THIS, too,
the teachers bore with what patience they
could consolng themselves with the assurance
that now they would certainly get their money
or at least the SO per cent. when due; but
vain assurance, there WAS still no improve
merit. This year the scaled rates are main
tanned and it is whispered FONT loud" that
the schools will close again at the end OF the
third quarter. What next do you propose,
gentlemen of the School Board ?
From the annual statement Of receipts and
expenditures of the School Board to Septem-
her 80, II, it appears there was remaining in
the hands Of the collectors al that date nearly
ciqht thousand doildrS.
Section AZ of chapter 483, Laws of Mary
land for 1874 provides that GAN monies lev
led for educational purposes by the County
Commissioners of The several counties shall be
levied separately aud distinctly from all other
items o. taxation, and a lis, thereof furnished
to the School Commissioners of said counties;
and the collectors shall make return Of all the
said tax collected upon the days required by
law for the return Of the Stale school taxes
If any such collector shall fail to perform his
duties MS directed in this section, said collector
shall be liable to prosecution, and on convlc-
lion, shall be fined not less than one hundred
nor more than five hundred dollars, in the
discretion Of the Court"
Now the question naturally arises, Why has
not this section been enforced 10 make the
collectors hand over that eight thousand dol
lars aud the further question, Whose fault is
it that it has not been enforced
a satisfactory answer to these questions will
be Interesting TO tax-Payers as well as 10 the
TEACHER.
