It had become known to and noised about by tho pupils of this school that the principal was to resign his position, and as a token of the esteem and affection in which he was held by the pupils, he presented him with a set of val uable books and a gold-headed walking- cane. Mr. McManus was wholly taken by surprise and responded feeliDgly, express ing in sincerest terms bis heartfelt thanks for the handsome prosent. In addition to the' above presentation, Prof. Zettier presented in behalf of Miss Grier, two of her scholars with gold pens for excellence in composition. The Pro fessor then announced that he had some thing to say that gave him the greatest pleasure; but before he could say what it was one bright little fellow in the school said it was a “new sohool house!” “Ye3,” said the professor, “that’s it. By next term, we will have a new building on this lot.” Whereupon the boys shouted aud hurrahed, glad enough that they would no more sit in the house with umbrellas while it rained. It was good news to the children and better news for the teachers, who have suffered so much inconvenience by the dilapidated condition of the present buildings.

As a general thing it 13 extremely dull to another when a person is praising or talk ing o5> his own children, therefore a repor ter giving the order of exercises of a pub lic school examination day has tho advan tage of making his roport interesting at least to a few hundred families interested in that particular school, as he is praising their own children. If, as in this instance, the praise is deservedly theirs, nothing can be more satisfactory to parents having such intelligent and polite children. Wo wore pleased particularly with tho polite behavior and worthy pride mani fested by both teachers and scholars at the pleasure their proficiency gave an andienco of gentlemen who had been invited to at tend by the clever principal of tho school, H. J. T. Hudson, whose zeal in the cause certainly deserves the greatest success. We find this to be one of the most flour ishing of the colored schools, under the su pervision of the public school ednoational >oard, having a scholarship of 210, with H. J. T. Hudson at the head as principal, assisted by tho following female teachers : Lnoy Laney, Mrs. Hudson, Mary E. Life, Mary Bryant and Ada L. Bonner.

GENEHAL RESIARKS. The viator to tho exercises of the public- schools finds a fund of instruction and amusement. For instance, at the first year school room, under the admirable manage ment of Miss Horton, ono sees a beautiful as well a3 instructive sight. The little child ren go through a perfect system of maneu vers that can only be drilled into them by S tient toil and trouble. At the tap of the 11,each scholar crosses hands,andjfollows this np with hands and arms in every con ceivable position. All this is done like clock-work. We noticed also that the pu pils are given reading lessons which seem ed to have been written with a view especi ally to a variety of gestures. In this peculiar feature, ev ery form of expression, accent and em phasis is employed, and the result is fin ished readers. From long study and experience, Prof. Zetler has brought to bearnumerousmeth- ods, by which education is advanced and brought nearer perfection. We were amused at one instance. The teachers of the lower grades were instructed to read to the school the following: “Ho can see my cat. . My dog is not big. Yon may sit by me. We are not to go now. Come and see my now doll.” Each scholar then wrote the above, using his or her own idea of spelling, punctu ating and use of capitals. Henry Bluen- ftine, aged ten, one of tho Russian refugee children who started to school last Decem ber, thus wrote: “he can se Capt. Fort also presented on behalf of Miss Lon Thomas, the teacher, a beautiful copy of Tennyson’s poems to Walker Free man, as the pupil who had the be3t record as to studies and deportment. At night the exercises were of the most int6restiog character. At the Second street school several hundred people as sembled to witness its closing exercises. The room was handsomely decorated with garlands of evergreen and the stage orna mented with natural flowers. The little folks; separated from vacation and liberty by a single obstacle, were in the best of spirits. The programme consisted of recitations, humorous and pathetic, mnsic, vocal and instrumental and illuminated tableaux. The entertainment was under the manage ment of Prof. O. IV. .Howard, and every thing passed off in the happiest manner.

Haire came to St. Louis last week to attend to some legal business, tho interests of Mrs. Jesse Jame3 being a prin cipal part of it, and soma enterprising oiti- zen, snpposably a detective, te!ographod Messrs. Craig and Timberlake, of Kansas City, that Frank James wo3 concealed somewhere in SL Louis. Timberlako and Craig came on to St. Louis, and had not been in the city' very long before they found ont that Frank James was far, far away. When questioned as to their - pres ence in the city, they said that they 1#4 come down to arrange about the rewardUo be paid to the Ford boys. They left the .city tho day of their arrival, but Mr. Haica was still here yesterday. In conversation with n Republican rc. porter la-t evening. Hr. Hmre paid Hd't the story ot a conference having beenJrml ia>. Saturday, relative to Frank Ja untrue, and that the rumor that thqcorri- dors and entrances of Jhe Southern vrerC guarded by the frienchf of Franktwas ab- . £ng men, as reported." ’ “There were plenty of deteraves here. They are here yet. They have been litre since Friday, and they will leave to-night.” “ Why to-night?” “Principally becanso I leave. There have been a corp3 of detectives shadowing me for tho past six weeks. Iam solera con tinual espionage, and am beginning to tiro of it. They were around when I was here before, and they will stick to me, I guess, till I shoot some ono of them. If I take a horse, for instance, when J am at home, and start ont for an evening ride, as soon as I roach the suburbs of tho town there will be three or four horsemen behind me. If I sit home awhile or walk down Fourth street or go ont at night I am watched. These fellows seem to have an idea that I carry Frank James about with me. It would be a laughable matter were it not annoying.” . “Is there any truth in tho rumor that Frank James will surrender if he is grant ed immunity?” Tho truth of the matter is that negotia tions are going forward for the pa-don of Frank James. A number of hi3 friends— not his associates, mind yon, bnt old time friends, who aro now influential citizens— have seen Gov. Crittenden about the mat ter, and the Governor has taken it all un der advisement. What his action will be is entirely problematical. The nature of the argument is that Gov. Crittenden, if he sees fit to do so, will pledge himself to pardon Fri.nk James if Frank comes in, stands trial aud is convicted. It will bo a matter of honor entirely, and each party Will stick to his word. FROM IVASHINGTOE. The Senate Wastes a Day—The House Busy with the Wheeler-Lone Case— Wlndom’s Whisky Investigation— The Star Route Cases. f By Telegraph] ■Washington, June 2.—In the Senate, at the hour of assembling, acting Secretary Francis E. Shober read a note ’from the President pro tern., Mr. Davis, as follows,. “As I shall be absent from the opening of tbe session this morning, under the pro visions of rule 41 name Hon. John J.

Mr. Hoar suggested that Mr. Ingalls bo declared tho presiding officer for the day. He desired to avoid a protracted discussion at this time. His own opinion was that the action of the President of the Senate in designating a member to take his place was more binding upon the chamber than would be a designation by that officer of a ruliDg by bim3elf upon a parliamentary question.

One feature wa3 a match botwoen classes A and B, parsing Greek nouns. It remind ed one of a duel between two batteries. Both sides kept np a rapid firing, and ono by one the boys fell, until only ono boy was left standing in one of the classes. In the old Medical College building are three classes presided over by Mrs. A. A. Davis, Mrs. P. F. Manson and Mi«s Lon Thomas. In Miss Thomas’ room the en tertainment was varied and exceedingly interesting. They exhibited the result of close training, and yet the exercises were not by note. In history, grammar and arithmetic the pupils did credit to themselves and loacher, and especially in the latter study. It was evident that they had been t inght to think for them selves. An example wa3 given: “ If a per son pays 5;75 insurance on a house valued at $:i,0G0, what amount, at the same rate, would lie have to pay on one valued at £2,400 ?” There were three—two boy s and one girl—who so'ved the problem in their own way, and all differing, showing the difference in their mental make up, and proving that there had been no previous drilling on this special problem.

Srxrx Miles of Dead Fish.—The brig Edward Hatton, Thomas Simmons master, arrived at this point yesterday morning from Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Capt. Simmons reports that on the outward and homeward passage his vessel encountered vast numbers of apparently dead fish. “They were all on their backs,” said the Captain to a Herald reporter, “and were from two to four pounds each in weight. They all had a bloated appearance. At first sight I took them for cod, but further observation convinced me that they were what is called'drum fish. Their fiu3 kept moving, which gave to ths fish an appear ance of life, but the movement wa3 doubtlo’S caused by the waves. The vessel ran across them between latitude 30 and 37K- They wore inside the stream, in deep soundings. I tried to get some np in a bucket a3 specimens, bnt it wa3 blowing too hard to catch any. We kept among them for a distance of from sixty to eighty miles. \ man told me this morning, down off Staton Island, that the crews of some vessels that reoently came in had been eating these dead fish. I wouldn’t have cared tj do so. I should think they were killed by some disease.

Jay Gould keeps a mascottc. That Is plain by the quantity of gobbling he Is doing. Tho Mutual Union Telegraph Company was brave ly started to give the public cheap rates In op position to the Western Union. But in the an nouncement of only its second annual election, which the Herald printed yesterday, Mr. Gould’s name appears In the list of directors, and noi ice is quietly subjoined that henceforth, under a "new mimagcmcut," the Western Un ion "is to control the management." So the Mutual Union goes the way of all its predeces sors. Gradually, with the assistance of the mascottc, this great American gobbler is gob bling up pretty much everything in the way of facilities for tho Information and intercoune of. the people of the United States—railroads, loth surface aud elevated: legislatures, Jcablcs, icle- graphsand even newspapers—except tile Her ald and a few of its contemporaries. Bnt Mr.- Gould should be warned by tho fate of his pre decessor, Lorenzo XVII., Prince of Piomlxno.

'Scnato to commit itself by positive action upon the important question which had been precipitated upon it, moved an ad journment, which was agreed to unani mously. The Senate accordingly ad journed until Monday. HOUSE. Immediately after the reading of the journal the House resumed consideration cf the Alabama contested election cose of Lowe vs. Wheeler. Mr. Thompson, of Iowa, submitted an argument in favor of the claims of the contestant, and inci dentally denied the statement made by Mr. Wheeler last evening to tho effect that he had not been fairly treated by the commit tee on elections. „ Mr. Mills, of Texas, spoke in advocacy of the right of the sitting member to retain his seat, and was followed by Mr. Jones, of Texas, in favor of the contestant. Mr. Atherton, of Ohio, consumed his hour in reading tho report of the minority, only calling attention to the fact that bnt three Republican members wore paying tho slightest attention, and criticising such inattention on the part of the jadges who were to decide the case. It had been charged that there was an agreement between cer tain gentlemen on the cthsr side (alluding 10 the Greenbackors) and the Republican party. Mr. Jones, of Texas, pronounced tho charge to be false. Mr. Atherton—“Very well. I will show yon that the Republican paper itself charges it.” Ho then quoted from the Washington Republican to the effect that the Greon- backers had been steadfast and true to tho Republicans in tho recent election cases, and that the latter were bound in honor to see justice done to Lowe. Several Republicans—“That is justice.” Mr. Atherton replied that soon it would be found what justice meant in tho Repub lican ranks. There were now two Republi cans listening in the chamoor,but when the matter came to a vote 150 would come, without knowing anything abontthe case- raise the axo and take the head off the sit ting member. Mr. Horr, of Michigan, entered into an ironical eulogy upon the great intellectual energy and statesmanship shown by the Democrats during the recent filibustering movement. He characterized Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, as the Napoleon of tho contest, Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, as its Marshall Ney, and Mr. Springer, of Illinois, as the Joan of Aro [laughter], and he ridiculed the courageous manner in which they came np to make motions to adjourn.

It is not true, and if it is, Chandler is in a low business.” Manning—“That he is.” Mr. Horr then passed on to a discussion of the Mackey-Dibbie case, and mado some allusions to the method of election in South Carolina, which brought Mr. Evins to his feet with an assertion that South Carolina was not ashamed of anything sho evor did. Mr. Horr replied that ho was not fool ish enough to guess that she would be. What would mantle other people’s cheeks with shame her people rolled as a sweet morsel under their tongues. Mr. Horr, in conclusion, protested against the decision of election cases upon technicalities, aud declared that h& would vote for Lowe, al though to the Bins of the Democrat he add ed the foolishness of the Greenbacker. Pending further discussion, Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, reported from the committee on appropriations the legislativos^judioial and exe -utive appropriation bill, tho items of which have already been published, and it was referred to the committee of the whole.

Mr. Stagg, a distiller of Louisville, said two persons, both lawyers, approached him witli the view of obtaining employ ment, but their services were declined. They did not claim any influence or men tion any Congressman. He declined to give the names, as it would subject the par ties to unpleasant notoriety. They had never sai 1 or done anything wrong, and he could not boo any good from mentioning their names. Col. Wharton, attorney for tho distillers, was next summoned. He alsc Enid that two persons, both lawyers, had approached him with a request for employment, which he refused. Both men were personal friends of his, and would not hesitato to talk to him frooly about anything. They did not claim any influence, and did not mention any Congressman or government official. There was nothing improper in their offer, and he preferred not to make their names public.

Last evening they got on board a Chicago and Alton train to go to Joliet. When the train stopped at Pan Handle crossing it was sur rounded by about fifty striking iron-work ers aud their friends, four or five of whom jumped on the engine, presented revolvers, and prevented the engineer starting again. Another detachment entered the train, puUed ont the workmen they coaid recog nize, including half a dozen colored men. The remainder of the crowd took them, beat, kicked and stamped upon them and injured them severely. Many stones were thrown and shots fired. One shot took ef fect in the groin ot Judge Pillsbury of the Blinois Appelate Court, inflicting a wound which it is feared will prove fatal. Wheeling, W.

If we are to believe a tithe of the tales told by these young men we must come to the conclusion that libertinism is the rule in our society and that the chastity or our females is in a state of utter wreckv*ind ruin. We do not exaggerate the truth when we say, that for shameless public declarations of tho above character, some of cur young men aco—' unrivaled.

N Had Mr. Stephens* pame not been suggested and agitated lor the governorship by the coa lition party, we do not believe that he ever would have been called out by the Democrats. The Independents recognized in Mr. Stephens elements of sympathy—a possible compromise between themselves and wliat they arc pleased to call the Bourbons—and realizing that they didn’t possess the strength of standing alone in a hand-to-hand combat with tho Democrats, fell upon this subterfuge to hide their own weakness and at the same time compromise the Democratic party. So it turns out that the Independents stand in the attitude of having at least dictated the man whom the Democrats shall elect as governor. A Gen. Hancock Story SDecial to Cincinnati Commercial. The next interesting piece of political gossip to-night comes to us in the grip-sack of a well- known Pennsylvania Democrat, who arrived from Harrisburg to-night. This gentleman, who is veracious and unusually well informed, states that on the day before yesterday Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock had a conference with Judge Black and other prominent Democrats at Judge Black’s house near York, Pennsylva nia. As a result of this conference it is at least probable that Gen. Hancock’s name will be presented in the Democratic convention for nomination for tho governorship. It is believ ed that he would carry the convention by storm, and that, if nominated, he would carry th<j Stato a3 against Stalwart Bea ver and Independent Stewart and any other Republican soldier or civiliau who could be nominated. The only possi ble objection that could.be urged against his nomiualion, his friends think, would be the fact that he lives in New York. They say that this is no objection at all since he retains a res idence in Pennsylvania, and was nominated as a Pennsylvanian, on the motion of a Pennsyl vanian, for the Presidency at Cincinnati. If he is nominated and elected governor of Pennsyl vania, he is to resign his commission in the army and wait patiently and hopefcllythc next Democratic national convention, which will, his friends are certain, renominate him for the Presidency. This time he is to sweep the country. Moantime he will devote his leis ure hours to investigating “the local issue” which tripped him in 1SS0. Getting Particular.

Last year her heart broken father came for her, and, after a dispairlng effort to get her to return with him, which proved inef fectual, tho poor old man, disgraced, broken in plrits, alone in the world, and almost penni- ess after his long search for her, blew out his brains at the very threshold of Murray’s door. Only last Sunday—Sunday, mark you—I saw him at San Pedro Springs, unloading, with his own hands, a wagon load of cedar ties that he j had hauled from his littlo place for tho .street railroad company. He was without coai, vest orcollar.dirty and unshorn,and it would take a keen eye, as a Boston man remarked to m*\ to detect in him tho idolized preacher of ono of the proudest pulpits in tho Hub.
