PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Preference Must be Given {, Normal
Graduates I'm Making Appointments.

For some time past it has been claimed that
In the appointment Of school teachers in the
colored schools the colored graduates have
been ignored and others given the positions.
This gave rise to q great deal Of talk, and ex-
Trustee Smith addressed several communica-
tons to the Commissioners requesting them
to correct the existing state Of affairs.
The matter was talked over at the meeting
Of the school board. but was not settled Mr..
Smith again called the matter TO the
attention of the Commissioners and requested
that 1t be given immediate consideration. The
whole question seemed to rest upon
of the act Of June %, 1873. II this section
had not been repealed or altered the appoint
ment OF teachers other than normal school
graduates was illegal. To satisfy themselves
upon this point the Commissioners submitted
the matter to Attorney Riddle.
ATTORNEY RIDDLES OPINION.
In his report upon the case to-day he says:
eve have examined with care the subsequent
legislation of the District legislature, also of
Congress, and find no act repeating. modify
ing. or impairing the proviso at the end Of the
third section OF the act of June %, 1873 which
applies to the question involved as under
stand it"
ORDER OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
The Commissioners, acting upon the above,
issued the following order:
THAT graduates Of the normal school Of this
District must have preference in all cases when
appointments of teachers for the public schools
are TO be made.
THAT in case Of q surplus Of the graduates of
former year being unemployed at the gradu-
alton of the next succeeding year the gradu-
ates Of the late year have the preference, and
so on under this rule.
Teachers heretofore employed in violation OF
the rule prescribed by the Legislative act above
cited should not be re-emplosed during the
present year unless all of the normal school
availables have been exhausted"

SUPREME BENCH VACANCY.
Attorney General Miller's Chances of
Appointment Good.

1t has come to be very generally expected
among the United States Senators that they
will be called upon when Congress meets to
confirm Attorney General Miller as an associate
justice on the supreme bench. Many efforts
have been made to get the President to cast his
eye in other directions for man for this place,
but itappears as if these efforts had been en-
tirely unsuccessful.
The sentiment in Indiana in favor of Judge
Ward of that state for the place, is said to have
caused Mr.. Harrison to waver in his determine
ton IN favor OF Miller but it is believed that he
has fully decided now to send Mr.. Millers name
to the Senate

THE LEWIS BROTHERS FAILURE
Surprise on the Announcement In Phil
adelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Surprise was occa-
stoned in business circles this morning by the
announcement that the firm Of Lewis Brothers
d Co., wholesale dry goods dealers, Chestnut
street, above I'd, had made an assignment for
the benefit Of their creditors.
While the exact amount cannot as yet be as
certained it is thought the liabilities of the
firm will sum up nearly "a, 100000.
The firm is one of the largest in its line of
business in the city, and perhaps in the coun-
try. 1t has houses in many of the larger cities
Of the United States, notably New York, Chi
cago, Baltimore, and Boston.
The members of the firm resident in this
city are George W. Wharton, Joseph W. Lewis
and Henry Lewis. Mr.. Wharton when seen
this morning promptly admitted the authenti-
city of the rumor that his firm had made an
assignment for the benefit of their creditors.
Cornelius W. Bliss of the New York firm of
Bliss, Fabyan &c Co., he stated, was the assig-
nee.
~ am unable" continued Mr.. Wharton, ''to
place the amount of our liabilities; however,
feel convinced that they will be not much in
excess of our assets.
"Of course it is impossible to determine these
Things until an examination of the books has
been made. We are now going over our books
and will probably know more definitely to-
night how and where we stand
If we could have had only two or three
more days 1 am sure we would havelbeen able to
tide over. difficulties, but the blow fell Just at
the worst time and our only course was to
make an assignment, and this we did
this morning. For some time past our business
prospects have never been brighter, but you
know you can't market paper"
