SWINDLING TUE NATToN.
The Plot to Saddle the District Debt on the
General Government.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--It has been quietly
understood here Tor some time that concerted
movement would be made this winter to get
through Congress an act which would direct
tho assumption OF the District debt by the gen
eral Government. 4 most persistent effort was
made during the summer TO have a clause in
the act providing permanent form Of govern.
ment for the District. passed nj the last ses.
sion. So construed as to make the general Gov
ernment the guarantor OF the principal and
interest OF the 3.C5 bonds. but it failed.
Large blocks Of the bonds had been bought In
anticipation Of the success of this effort. Par
ties here and In New York were holders Of n
large amount ot the bonds and 10y their mnnip;
umionsrhey ware run up 10 W. but they stood
~ - FOR a few DAYS only. II never occurred
TO any one that these Spectators would be so
bold ns to propose that the general Government
should assume all thu debt Of the District, which
aggregates nearly $4,000 0Vu. An intimHiion
that some Proposition would be made 10 fund
the debt ~ Ing District in n long bond. bearing
n low rate OF interest, was given TO the public
some weeks ago. This was a mere feeer.
Vow the proposition haA been given definite
shape In an sNtract from the forthcoming re-
port Of the District Comm issionera when was
made public YESTERDAY. The, pan which tho
commissioners propose 10 submit 20 Congress
Is 10 fund the Old corporation debt. the four
million bonds and the hoating Debt u the Dis
trid and the $3.50 bonds IN a itty-tour year
bond barring per cent. interest This bond
IL 10 ba issued 10y the United States which guar
antees principal and interest. and IA to De Sc
cured by taking the District securities ~ coll
lateral. II - also proposed that the bonds OF
the old curDQraunns the bonds issued 10y the
Board OF Public Works. known as the four mil
lion ionn. shall be bought los the general Gov
rrument and funded into the new four Der
cents and. what j. the most monstrous propo-
siiiOn 81 nil. that the 1865 bonds shall be- funded
into four per cents az 81. when. as before stated
they have never reached higher figure than
-. " seems hardly possible that such n bold
swlndle as THIS should De seriously proposed.
SIN II is authortatively stated. The exact Ian
guagc ot the Commissioners forthcoming re-
port IS given. and 10 contradiction has APP
peared to-day. The c. bonds to-day showed

Dose Is simply 10 bull the market.

NO REDRESS FOR UNRULY BOrs.
The Right of - school Teacher to Whip them
Amrmed by u Jury.

NEwBURGH, Nov. "a case uf great in
tcrest has Just been tried here before Judge
Barnard. The plaintiff was Thomas b. Ash
ton. by guardian. and tao defendant Miss
Catherine L. Lloyd. a teacher in the First Ward
primary school. Ashton sued Miss Lloyd to
recover 81 900 damages for the alleged beating
Of his person while in attendance ut school.
The plaintiff. who is about 10 years Of age tcs-
titled that Miss Lloyd whipped him because he
failed TO spell a word correctly. He said she
took him out Of the school room and piled n"
rattan for half an hour on him; that he tell 10
the floor and she whipped him while down. md
then left him that because he refused a. hold
out his hand, which was sore. she Kicked him
In the eye and ON the knee.
Ashton's father and mother testified that the
boys body bore the. marks Of the whipping
and that one side Of his leg was covered with
bruises, from which the blood flowed. Others,
testified 10 seeing the black and blue marks
and Two schoomAsters said they heard Miss
Lloyd say that II Tommy missed another word
Miss Floyd, who has boon a teacher for four
years In Newburgh schools testified that she
did not whip Tommy Ashton for misspeiiing
but for drumming on his desk while his class
10 20 into the dressing room when she told him
To. He also refused 10 put out his hand. and
she then whipped him another way. he still
he ieli to the noor. She said she again gave
him chance 10 hold out his hand, but he per
sisted and would not. She then reported the
department who cafne into the ROOM and after
he had again refused TO hold out his hand for
her. Miss parmenter also took Il hand AT the
whipping. and lii Tommy twice ON the leg.
Miss Floyd denied ever having struck child
a bad boy. and thar She had informed his pa
rents 81 his unruly conduct. She denied huV-
ing kicked him in the eve but admitted having
struck him eight or ten times,
The Judge in his charge said that there was
no question about the right o. a teacher 10 re-
strain and properly correct child. The parents
have the right 10 control thoir children AS long
ils they do not oveIstep certain bounds. and
when they take them 10 school they Delegate 10
the teacher that same power OF restraint and
correction they possess under the law, The
teacher, of course, IL not 10 20 beyond certain
limits any more than tho parents. II Miss
Lloyd exceeded her power. She was guilty. and
must compensate the lnd in hard money. the
question whether she exceeded her power WINS
tho only one for the Jury g. consider.
In eight minutes the Jury returned With u
verdict OF no cause Of action. and the Court
gave the defendant AN allowance OF S25 and
COSTS, So Miss Lloyd not only does not have 10
pay Tommy 81 400 damages, but Is compen.
stated with t2j for whipping him.
