EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: notice in
your issue of few days since an Interview,
anent the Lancaster scandal with "a naval
officer OF very high rank" in which the latter
ascrlbes abuse of their superior officers to the
younger members of the service. He quotes
an incident which happened at ward-room
mess table, where he was a guest while in II
foreign port the abuse by the young officers
of the commander in-Chlef OF the fleet being
80 gross us to evoke u protest and cause him to
leave tho table and ship.
This is q grave reflection upon tho service
generally, and unjust TO the youngsters"
They GENERALLY want TO go to sea and visit now
places. The officers whose wives arc on
shore hoping that something will detaln the
ship are the ones who usually have the in
tense feeling about their chiefs orders, Does
age give an officer the right TO thus publicly
criticise Others without some inquiry being In
stituted concerning the truth of bis ayerments2

THE COMMISSIONERS.
Current Transactions at the Various
District Omces.


District OHces.
The commissioners have sent to tho
house appropriations committee several
amendments to tho District bill. Among
the suggestions is one providing for
modification Of the tax law, to facilitate
collections, and insure legal right of pur-
chasors to property, by allowing tho COM
missioners to give clear title. Tho in
vestment of contractors retain fund,
held from the amount appropriated for
work, is tho subject Of another amend.
ment, suggested with a view to expedite
the accounts without tho trouble usual in
such cases.
The commissioners havo accepted the
resignation OF DIR. Street as physician to
tho poor Of the sixth district, and have
appointed DIR. Peter GOODRICH, of 7lS
Twelfth street, to fill the vacancy.
In reply to n complaint from G. Il. s.
Franz of the annoyance and danger
caused by the "Y" track of the b. & o.
railway to the citisens. tho commissioners
say that they cannot have the track re-
moved, as several attempts to do so have
been unAvailing.
j. II. Waggaman and j. Il. Francis ma do
request sometime ago for the paving of
thealley in their subdivision of SOU arc
l04with Belgian blocks. n reply the COM
missioners state that tho alley is a small
one, and that as the sewerage facilities of
that square was paid for by tho citizens
the paving Of tho alley will have to be
done in the same manner. SO long as the
means available afford such limited sums
applicable to work on tho streets and
sewers and moro public alleys thoy say
that it is not proper for the commissioners
to enter upon expenditures for improve.
ments of this character. Tho applications
for its pavement at any cost to the District
must therefore be disapproved
Captain Greene, Of the engineer depart
mont has furnished the commissioners
with schedule of contractors whose ten
per cent. retain fund, held by tho treas
urcr of the United States, falls due during
1884 and 1885. He suggests that tho
treasurer sell the bonds and transmit tho
proceeds to the commissioners.
Mrs. Jane Farnham has asked for relief
or damages for injuries done to her prop
erty in square 637, by the closing up of G
and ID streets to all travel by tho grading
Of those streets.
There ia considerable feeling over the
reduction in tho school appropriation
made by the house. The appropriation
tor the current year was 1871 $50 for 555
teachers, at an average salary of 500.
For the next school year Si0l 200 for 500
was estimated for by the school board.
The house reduced this estimate to
| 1885,, 200, and tho average salary TO 1870.
1t is stated that more schools and teach
ers are needed in the District, aud this
reduction will make any increase impos-
siblo.
