SOLDIERS TABooED
Ky che Regulations OF the Post.ofiicc
npt,n ri uppnfy

The soldiers who fought IN the Union
army for four years TO maintain the Union
have been deprived of their just recognition
in appointments in the several departments.
The statutes are being violated every day.
The soldiers through the Grand Army of
the Republic have tried to find out why IL
was that q soldier; all things being consid-
cred equal, could not get an appointment
IN any of the departments. At last some
light is about to be shed on this subject A
rule of the Cincinnati post-oflice, which was
approved by the Postmaster General, and
made applicable to all the Presidential
post-oflices in the United States, was shown
to THE CRITIC reporter this morning, which
says that no application for n position will
lie considered If the applicant Is under 90
years of age or over 30 1t will be seen
that the enforcement of this rule excludes
every Union soldier in the United States.
The rule Is published IN a pamphlet, con-
tanning eight or ten pages, entitled, Reg
ulations of the Post-oilice at Cincinnati,
Ohio" These regulations and rule 5, the
substance Of which is quoted above,
have been adopted by every post-oflice In
the United States, the postmaster Of which
Is appointed by the President and it is
said, upon good authority, that the General
Post-0fiicc Department in Washington
adopted and enforced the same rule. These
regulations were gotten up at Cincinnati
in 1870, and approved by the then Post
master-General. A resolution will be in
PRODUCED in the Senate, in day or two,
inquiring into the occasion for this apparent
Unjust discrimination. The Post-oilico oill-
Gals mar endeavor to make it appear that
this rule applies only to letter-carriers.
Even if that is true, it is discriminating
against the soldiers just the same. The
present Postmaster Generals attention has
to rcscind it,

Tho school Board.

A meeting of the School Board was held
last night at the Franklin School building,
and a number Of applications were received
for teachers positions. A communication
was received from the Commissioners ask
ing an expression of opinions as to what
authority the District Commissioners could
legally exercise over the public schools.
The question was referred to the committee
ON rules A letter from the auditor asking
that the pay-rolls of the school teachers for
September be reconsidered, was referred to
special committee.
A report on the subject of admitting the
son of Prof. j. NJ. Gregory to one
of the white schools was laid over for
further consideration. 1t was reported that
changes had been made in the plans of the
two school buildings in the second division
which will increrse the expense about $500.
A motion to close the schools at noon on
Friday was unanimously adopted. A reso-
luton that the new school at Uniontown
be called the Anacostia School was adopted,
and proposition to call the Bladensburg
road school building by the name of Palmer
School was laid over
