We have been paying for several years a

believe myself that II would be wise
system to place all these schools under one
head and one management; but l am salts
fled that that change can not now be made
without producing friction such as would
result iDjuriously to the schools. There
fore the committee have thought il advis-
able to leave the system as IL found it,
leaving to some future Congress the work
Of placing the schools under one head and
one management. Therefore We have lis
year proposed no change and made nv fe-
commendation in that regard"
On motion Of Mr.. Long the folio ,ing
amendment was adopted
For tho redemption OF four certiGcl es
of Indebtedness, issued by authority of sec-
tion z Of the act Of the Legislative AS
sembly, approved June 90, 1873, dated July
/, 1873, of the denomination OF $50 each,
with interest payable mi.annually at the
iato of 8 per cent. per annum, numbers
es2i, Ss20 1897, and 1923, payable July 1,
1873. f3G69G."
In explanation Of his amendment Mr..
Long said:
"TheTe are certificates representing in
debiedness of the District issued some
years ago. They are of tho amount of $50
each, and tho whole sum Is only 5000 with
interest. The certificates represent the in
debtCdness OF the District, which, of course,
should be paid. In the course of business
notice was issued Of time at which these
certificates must be presented for audit
and for payment. Nearly all the oertiii-
Gates Of this class were presented, but 1t so
happened that these particular certificates
were held by man who Is now in distress
and poverty, who at the time did not know
that such notice had been issued, to whom,
when he did present his certificates found
that tho time for their presentation and
payment had expired"
While that portion of the bill providing
for the Fire Department was under con-
sideration Mr.. Follett stated that a con-
struction on the word fireman." given by
the First Comptroller, made necessary an
amendment, the Comptroller having limited
the term fireman" to tho seven frcmen
provided for in the bill. He therefore
offered an amendment that wherever the
word fireman" occurred in the bill it be
changed to "employe of the Fire Depart
ment." Thisamendment was agreed to.
The committee rose and tho bill was re-
ported back to the House. The amend
ments adopted In tho committee were oon-
CURED in by tho House and the previous
question was ordered. The necessary yea
and nay vote was not, however, taken, Mr..
Follett not pressing 1t, In order that me-
mortal services over the late Representative
Duncan might be proceeded with.

THE CITY PoSToFFICE.
Discns;sins the site.

A meeting has finally been held by the
special Joint Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds Of the House and Senate
on the subject of selecting a site for tho
City Postoflice building. A report was
made by Mr.. Stockslager, showing the re-
searches made by Senator Malone and him
self In endeavoring to find available Sites
The question was fully discussed, during
which it was shown that the site depended
upon the size and character OF the pro-
posed building. II was undetermined
whether the building should be exclusively
for the postoflice or whether ii should in-
clude space for municipal offices.
Architect Smithmyer, representing in
part the owners of the property now oc-
cupied as City Postofce, exhibited draw
ings Of building suitable for tho purpose
desired. 1t gave 10000 feet Of ground floor
for the postofiice at the western end of the
square, leaving the Sixth street front for
District Offices and the upper floors for
municipal business. IL provided for q
tower at the northwest corner.
II was ascertaincd that site had been
virtually agreed upon IL the grounds could
be secured at reasonable valuation, but to
prevent clamor over the matter the location
of the site was not disclosed. When figures
are procured for this and other sites sub
mitted, proper committees TO close up the
purchase will be selected. Effort will be
made. to push the bill through Congress
making an appropriation, and until II is
passed no further meeting will be held.

Jefferson Davis States HIS Views on

The controversy which has been carried
on for some time in the columns of tho Ma
Houdi RtpnbHcan between DR.. A. Y. p. Gar
nett, who was Jefferson Davis physician
during the war, and Mr.. Hidell, who at the
same time was private secretary TO Alex

lion of the following letter from Mr.. Davis
TO DR.. Garnett, in which the former en-.
deavois to settle the controversy by stating
his views upon States rights and denying
that he contemplated a dictatorship:

violence to the rights of the State. No one
