Visit oF THE Laprks’ Association To Mount Vernon —Tbe Ladies’ Mount Vernon Associa- tion having fally secured, by purchase, the home- stead of Washington, yesterday afternoon, for the first time. paid an official visit to the spot in the Steamer Thomas Coilyer. An invitation was the day previous extended to both houses of Congress to accompany them in this trip, which was ac- ce ; and the Senate, for the purpose of com- plying with the invitation, met an hour earlier than usual; while it was understood that the House would likewise have an early adjournment. An earnest debate, however, unfortunately spring- ing upin beth houses, neither body thought it politic to adjourn; and for this reason, we regret to say, there were but thirty of the House in at- tendance, aud only one Senator. The members of the Press, during the e down the river, individually and collectively, expressed to Mr. Jotn Cochrane of N. Y., their appreciation of his kindness in so efficiently Interposing in their be- half at the wharf, as the captain of the boat took upon himself to exclude the members of the Press invited to go down, and his manner was so extra- ordinarily off-nsive as to excite the greatest in- diznation, and respect alone for the ladies on the boat prevented his being roughly handled. The Marine Band was in attendance, and interested the couparenh numerous national airs. Reach- ing the tomb the company separated, spending an hour in viewing the grounds and various iuter- esting relics. About twilight the party agin gathered about the tomb, when the band executed in fine style “* Washington's Grave.” As is cus- tomary, every one beoug nt away some token of remembrance of their visit to the venerated spot. Returning. when the boat had got fully under way, loud calls were made for a speech from Mr. Larrabee, of Wis , and others. Mr. Larrabee hoped the company would excuse him from the delivery of a speech, as there were others present to whom they could listen with mach greater pleasure than himerif. After a few eloquent remarks, he introduced Mr. John Coch- rane, whose name was received with loud and continued plaudits Mr Cochrane, after paying a warm tribute to the association of ladies whose invitation the com- pay were this day bonoring, said: We have trod near the monument of him who is called the Father of his Country. We have assembled there this day with bated breath, with sombre thouzht, with patriotic emotions, to do honor for the prin- ciples for which he contended, and for the free- dom for which he struck, and which we enjoy. [Applzu: Who is there here that needs iliustration of the character of Washington? ‘Thatcharacter reposes in the heart of every one; and there can be nothing tm tilustration added to the vast proportions of that t mind and great heart, which, under a Supreme Providence, struck for and achieved the independence of the Union. We have visited the | of his familiar habitation; we have seen he illustrations of nis diily thouzhts; we have witnessed tue scene of his domestic virtues and we have looked upon the sacred spot which bore the last of his mortal remains. As we trave sed that sacred spot; as we looked with a solemn awe upon the sacred sarcophagus which retains his re- mains, we, each of us, felt more than Americans; we felt disciples of thatcommon bu:manity which, transmitted from above, never so elevated as when engaged in works of goodness, never so illustrious as when devoted to the benefit and the good of the buiman race. Away in yonder region, where Eastern suns beat down with their hottest rays upon the East- ern soil, there reposes a sacred tomb to which all in Christendom, and every Christian heart looks for repose, for relief, and for redemption. Here, under a Western sun, in the genial clime of Vir- ginia, under the salubrious winds of America, is to be fqund another tomb. It is the tomb of a grest and benevolent man—the tomb of a man whose heart reflected all of Christian virtue; who trod the military paths, not of fame, but of em- pire; who trod at the same time the humble and narrow path of Him who taught, and toiled, and suffered, and died, and whose tomb is in other lands. While the Christian looks to Jerusalem asthe point from whence proceeds his redemp tion, not only the Americon, but all throughout this down stricken world, look to Mount Vernon for the tomb of him, who with Christian resigna- tion, pes ee out the independence of a great nation, and achieved the work which God had set for bis bands. oes men And it is mete now that, as every vessel and repasses that sacred precinct, that the human heart should bow down and be still, and music as of sweet bells should be chanyled upon the air to teach thateven the winds themselves will speak of the vi and of the memory of him who the greatest man ever created, or who ever died. {Applause.] But there is another consideration which requires our attention here. of hardly in- ferior importuice. That tomb in its dilapidated state was matter of great grief to every philan- thropist, to every patriot. That tom) has been re- marked upon, and severecommentaries made upon the character of the American people by reason of its condition. That 2s Americans withont energy; yet with every disposition; without associate ac- tion, without effort, have, until this time, per- tted those sacred relics to fall to decay. The memory of Washington, notwithstanding, was above all these human attributes, and rose to greater distinction as Mount Vernon fell to decay As toe American wended his annual pilgrimage that way, returning with commentaries upon the nezligence. the carelessness of his fellow-citizens, even during all this time had the fame and uime of Washington culminated through Europe, pen- etzated Africa, visited Asia, so that even the Afri- can in Timbuetoo was not ignorant of the name of Washington; and the Tartar Arab in his east- ern plain bowed with the sunset of the God that he worshipped at the shrine of the great name of the West. [Applause ] Amid this sombre gloom, this twiligut of decaying patriotism, a star ap- peared in the East. It was ber e by an American Renna teen hand to hand she passed with the torch to other hands of her female associates, until this whole land was encircled with a cord of fuming, enlightened energy and female patriot- ism.

Then it was, with their noble ensigns to the wind, knowing no failure, deter- d on success—then it was that the female hand accomplished what all of the male kindred had been unable to produce. [Applause ] And now, fellow-citizens, here at this moment we arrive at the consummation of that glorious work— she. the woman of America, has accomplished ber aim, and Mount Vernon, with its sacred ashes, re; under the custody of the females of America, the property of the American Union [Applause] Every one must proclaiin It as one of the most marvellous and illustrious works that has ever been accomplished in this nineteenth ry. [Applause.] fax we stand, then, boast- urse.ves lords of the creation, yet bowing at “rine of that great monument which the females of America have raised. [Applause } After further remarks from Mr Cochrane, Mr. Cox, of Oblo, was loudly called for, when he came forward and addressed the company in a very bappy and eloquent manner, his remarks eliciting yreat applause. It was with great hesi- ~ tation that he came forward on this occasion, as there were others present who would interest them much more than he could possibly do; but as it bad been said that it was bis cuty to respond to the call, he would therefore submit a few cur- sory remarks, for which he must esk their indul- gence. He was ashamed to confess it; but he must say, with all the simplicity of bis heart, that he to-day, for the first time in his life. visited that venerated spot, Mount Vernon. But this seemed to be a peculiar characteristic of the Ame ican—thet he went everywhere else in the world, when on his travels, excepting to those Soots which were most near and dear, and most beautiful and sublime in bis own land. He then adverted to the fact, as he had himself been an eye witness of, that in all heathen coun- tries the burial places of their heroes and distir- aished men were held in the moat sacred venera- tion; while in America the tomb and homestead of the greatest man that ever existed here or else- where—the Father of ais Country—was Permitted to go to decay, until the ladies tegolving in their patriotic hearts that if zeal, determined purpose, and perseverance on their part could Prevent it, it should be so no longer; and sure enough, glory be to the women of America, they stood there that day happy ‘tators of the consummation of their purpose.

He was also tried for stealing one coat and two pairs of pants from John 8. Shackleford, of Georgetown, and found guilty of stealing one pair of pants only. He was sentenced to two weeks in jail in the latter case, and to one year in the penitentiary in the former one. To-day. —Joun W. Wade was placed on trial ona charge of stealing one pair of boots valued at %5, from Columbus Beach. It seems that Wade is an oyster dealer. and lives in the same square with Beech, who i hoemaker, and had got the boots out of Beach’s shop in the absence of the Proprietor. When arrested by the officer he had the boots, and was very drunk. He told the of- ficer that he had taken the boots from Beach in peers for a quarter of a dollar which he alleged each owed him for mending his (Wade's) boots. He afterwards told the same officer that he had taken the boots to sell them for Beach. Mr. Beach testified that he did not think Wade had a sound mind. Mr. Harris testified that he knew Wade well, and didn’t think he had any sense after one gless of liquor—his mind was weak. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Thomas Brett was put on trial for the alleged larceny of a coat, a pate of shoes, and a watch, of the aguregate value of $22 50, from Dennis Laf- ferty. The evidence disclosed that Lafferty is em- loved as a servant in Willards’ Hotel. and that rett, who had been employed as his fellow-ser- vant, bad been discharged a few days previous to the alleged larceny. He had slept in the room occupied by Latferty, and on the night in question had come there ata late hour to sleep, and had gone awav in the morning before Latferty was up; when Lufterty got up he discovered the larceny, and was told that Brett had slept there the night previous. He went to the steward and told him of the theft, and was advised to have Brett arrest- el. Latferty went down the street for an officer, snd saw Brett, whom he followed and charged with taking the watch from his vest pocket. Brett denied any knowledge of it, and proposed to go into the Union Hotel to take a drink; while there, Brett stepped intoa back room and placed his hand on a table where there were articles of clothing; he was followed and observed by Laf- ferty, who a few moments afterwards found bis watch on the same table. The jury found a ver- dict of guilty of stealing a watch only.

The case was pending when our report closed. Cuarce or Rare Disuissev.—Yesterday, John Bolden was arrested by Ofticer Bietzel, on a warrant issued by Justice Donn on the oath of Malinda Richardson, charging bim witha rape on her body. The prosecutrix isa married woman, residing with her hnsband in the Seventh Ward, not bad looking, and about twenty-three or twenty- four years of age. The defendant isa youth of about nineteen years Mrs Richardson said Bolden boards in the same house with ber; afew days ago he came to her room and threatened to smash up things gener- ally if she did not submit to his embraces; and she thought that rather than raise a disturbance in tue house she had better yield. He had forced her in the same manver on several uccaxionsainee, sre being afraid to raise an alarm lest her husband. 8 ould kill the young man. Solomon Wells testified to having received the same favors from Mrs. Richardson on his threat- ening to expose ber if they were not granted. Mrs. Denneson (mother of Bolden) said that the prosecutrix in conversation with ber admitted to having gone Bolden’s room when he was a-bed Justice Donn thought the charge of rape would not hold, and dismissed the case. A Very Mopzrate PuNisuMent INDEED.— Last night, a man named James Brady went into the dwelling of Mrs. Donnelly, on Marylard avenue, between Fonr-and-a-half and Sixth streets, and grossly insulted a young lady who was there, by making an indecent proposal to her. It hap- pened that at the moment Mr. Handy, of the Auxiliary Guard, was there, being too unwell to goon regular duty with the guard The young lady ran to the sitting room where the officer was and told him, and returning to the front part of the house, Brady repeated his proposition in the most vulgar language in the officer’s presence He was arrested immediately, and by hard work taken to the guard-house. This morning he was fined $7.15, which he paid and left.” He had hardly got out of the trial room when a gentleman from the same neighborhood entered, and told the Justice that the same fellow had also entered his house and insulted his wife in the same way Brady probably saw the new prosecutor enter the ottice, and hastened away. He musf have been as mach astonished as gratified at the lightness of his punishment under the aggravated circumstances. Tug THeatre.—The ‘School for Scandal” was brought out last night night in a manner very much to gratify an audience made up very largely of those who are drawn tothe Theatre only when the performances promises to be of more than average merit and attractiveness. It is very much to be hoped that the play may be re- xtted for the benefit of those not able to see it fast night, as the rendition of it by the Murdoch company is a thing to be remembered for a life- time. The bill for to-night is an exceedingly good one, Mr. Murdoch appearing as “Alfred Eve- lyn,” and Mrs. Gladstane as ‘-Clara Douglas,” in Bulwer’s fine play of “Money.” Good wine needs no bush, and to those who have liad a taste ef the tine performances of this excellent compa- ny nota word need be said, but those who have not will thank us herefter if a hint from us in- duces them to avail themselves of the opportu- nity. A Granp Hor —The last of the weekly hops came off at Willards’ new Concert Hall last evening, and was one of the most brilliant of the season. These pleasant affairs have become almost an institution, and are enjoyed exceed- ingly by the guests of the house, and by their friends who are fortunate enough to be invited. it has been rumored that the gentlemen guests of the Hotel are to give a grand ball compl! ‘mentary to the ladier, by bg lag Se closing up the gay season.

C., piving some facts in regard to the progress of the ‘nion Prayer Meetings in that city. This letter brought up several delegates from Washington, who described it as a very wicked city, caused by the ies influx of strangers from all ‘sections of the Union.” If this account is true, Mr. Editor, not the only citizen who doubts the propriety of “delegaies from Washington” thus contributin; to the scandal so long indulged by ignorant an: superficial observers of life in the National Me‘rop- olis.

But it may be that they have advantages superior to ordinary folks for ascer- taining how far our federal city has advanced in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah! G. Perhaps I am A Witp Fettow.—On Saturday afternoon, the vicinity of Seventh street and Justices’ Row, Louisiana avenue, was in a great excitement, caused by the conduct of two disorderly men. named Cornelius ‘Toomey and John Conner, who being on a bust, went into Smith’s restaurant, and upon assaulting the bar-keeper, were summarily ejected into the street, where they commenced fighting each other. Hempler, of the Auxiliary Guard, and officer Busher, endeavored to quell the disturbance, but without etfect. ‘Th y arrested. the parties to carry them to the office of Justice Donn. They together, with the assistance of officer Allen. carried Conner to the oftice bodily, he tighting the whole time; and during the exam. ination his bebavior was such that he had to be tied, as he was striking at every man that came in his way, and he was about to be severely pun- ished. He was fined $10 and costs and committed to the workhouse for % days, and was carried down In a furniture car. Toomey was fined $6 60, and was carried to the watchhouse and locked up in the cells until he got sober. Vorx’s Dovcias.—We have before usa stat- uette copy of Volk’s exceedingly spirited and life-like statue of Senator Douglas. hese sta ettes, which present the * Li iant” ina vorite attitude, and with every line:ment of his marked countenance sharply detined, can be ob- tained [either in composition or in bronze] at Culver’s drug store, 268 Pennsylvania avenue; and the opportunity will doubtless be embraced by the admirers of Mr. D. who may wish tosecure a faithful likeness of that gentleman. A DesiraBLx IMpRovEMENT.—TheSenateCom- mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds have under consideration the early construction of a new jail for the connty of Washington in this District. One of the plans proposed is to unite the jail and penitentiary buildings in some remote part of the city, which, it is supposed, would probably promote economy in the employment of Zuarde, aud eave tiie, onpenec end conve rick in \ransferring convicts from one prison to the other.

Ma- craw, Esq., Famignt ConrractoR AND LATE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE Same ExPEvITIon —It will be recollected that an affray occurred be- tween Col. Lander and Mr. Magraw at Willard.” Hotel last winter. Of that affray the following is the account published in the Star on the day suc- ceeding its occurrence : Trother Fight —Last evening, Mr. Lander, late the car engineer attached to the Government Wagon Expedition of which Mr. Wm. H. Magraw was Superintendent, met the latter in one of the public apartments of W illards’ Hotel; Mr. L. having, according to popular rumors, pre- viously challenged him, without reeeiving a reply to his Fiallenge, which (the challenge) grew out of a difficulty between them when engaged together on the expedition. Itissaid that Mr. Lander, on meeting Mr. Magraw at Willards’, eatered into conversation with him about his de- clension to make any reply to the hostile billet- doux, which, though carried on in tones 0 low as not to be understood by the inders, resulted in a terrible collison, both bein; physicall we erful men. In the course of it, Mr. Magraw,/who is said to have had in his hand a sort of ‘‘billy,”” dealt Mr. Lander three tremendous blows ere he could return the first. When he did return it, however, the tide of battle turned on his side, and he floored his antagonist, whom he is said to have “punished,” ere they conld be parted. as severely as he had hineelf ‘been “punished” in the first few moments of the assault. We have not learned whether either was serious injured, though it is th left the scene of ‘ured—much the worse (in plight) from the wear and tear of their few moments of close conflict with each other. Mr. Magraw went West, and while Col. Lan- der was absent in the Rocky Mountains, stated in St. Louis that he had whipped him in the fight. Col. Lander returned from California some two months since, and Mr. Magraw arrived in Wash- ington day before yesterday. They again met at half-past four yesterday afternoon, in front of Kirkwoods’ Hotel, at which place Mr. Magraw is stopping. Mr. M. got out of a hack with some friends. Col. Lander was accompanied by Major Yates, the gentleman to whom Mr. Magraw had made the aforesaid remarks. Col. Lander said, “I demand from you an explanation of your re- marks to this gentleman,” (turning to Major Yates.) Mr. Magraw stepped back upon the steps of the hotel, followed up by Col. Lander. Mr. Magraw put his hand to his pocket and said something, which so far as heard seemed meant for an apology. Col. Lander then struck him upon the breast, pushing him back, saying, “Speak up, and speak loud, sir.”’ On this Mr. Magraw said, “Let me go into the hotel. “Yes,” said Col. Lander, and followed up. Within the hotel, Magraw attempted to go into the entry. Lander stopped him, saying, ‘Turn round now, sir, and face me and answer me,”? at the same time roughly turning him by the shoulder. At this instant, Mr. Kirkwood, the Proprietor of the hotel, in the most gentlemanly manner, inter- posed, requesting Lander not to create a disturb- ance, telling him that ladies on the floor above were seriously alarmed at the noise of the alterca- tion. This for an instant parted the combatants and permitted Mr. Magraw to retire some ten feet He immediately drew a pistol, and Pointing it to Col. Lander, said, ‘‘Approach me again, sir, and you are a dead man.”’ As Col. Lander jumped to attack him, saying, at the same time, “I am unarmed, you scoundrel, but no matter’’—the Kirkwoods again interposed. Col Lander con- tinned, “Come out on the avenue again, sir, and relieve this gentleman f:om this attray here. Take your pistol and I will meet you, as I am unarmed. Come on." Mr. Magraw refused. Col. Lander then, after stizmatizing him as har, coward, thief, blackguard, and scoundrel, requested any one of the crowd, of which there were more than forty, to step forward and take up the quarrel, if a friend of Mr. Magraw.
