FRANCK TAYLOR ~ Je HAVE RECEIVED A FINE ri od ‘Market Specs, T UAvrencn Sa te vO Ta ” LOCAL NEWS. The Schutzen Fest. Yesterday the Schutzen Fest at the Park ‘Was attended bya tremendous throng of per- sons, especially in the afternoon and evening. At the gate there were over 3000 single ad- mission tickets sold, and there were probably as many more in theenclosure on member 7hip and season tickets. - During the afternoon several German societirs visited the Park, among them, the Columbia Turnverien, Wash- ington Kezel (Bowling) Club, No. 1, with dele- gates of other clubs, headed by Heald’s Wash- ington Brass Band. These organizations were appropriately rece'ved at the Park py the Schatzens, President Kloman extending the welcome. The target shootng under the di- rection of shooting master, B. Henze, wa> very spirited, and the crack of tbe rifle wa3 inces- sant. Mr. Romanus Rudhardt made the ture best centre shots of the members of the Wash- ton corps, and was declared to be the Schutzen King for the next year. For the gold medak, the prize for the gr-atest number of shot. in the bull the contest was very sharp, and the targets at the close of the day’s shooting gave evidence of the precision of the marks- men. Mr. Klein of New York, made 97 shots, Mr. Stalk of Pottsville, 83, and Mr. Hesse of Baltimore, 72. At4 o'clock, Harry Leslie,{ the rope walker, made his ap ace on his rope, and went througb with his feat, on this occasion being the representation of adranken woman, elicit- ing the pleudits of the spectators. About 4% o'clock, the members of the Sebut- zen gatbered at the Schuizen Hall, and headed by the Marine Band, which gave a most de- light.ul concert during the day, marcbed to the open saloon in the eastern portion of the Park for the purpose of crowning the Schutzen King. pir. Rudbardt. On ving at this saloon the members, with resentatives of the press, formed around the sides, and the colors being placed around a stand, in the centre of which the President of the Association, Mr Chas. Kloman. and Mr. F. Schmrdt, took a stand, the ceremony was com- menced. a salute beg fired under the direc- tion of Mr. Henze. Mr. Hartig, the retiring King, wes called up before the stand, and Mr. Kloman. in afew appropriate remarks, re- moved the medal from his neck, and Mr. Schmidt complimented the retiring King. Mr. Rudbardt was introduced, and Mr. Klo- man greeted him as King of the Schutzers of Washington ciiy, and Mr. Scomidt appropri- ately addressed him, ‘The medal baving been placed on his neck snd a large wreath about him, as also two larse boquets ia each hand, he was escortad by the color guards, headed by Chief Marshal O. Eber in front of the line, and taking bis place at the bead—after the medal for the most center shots had been presented to Mr. Kletn—led the ‘way to the banquet hall, where a large num- ber of persons, after baving feasted for some time engaged themselves over the wine for some hours. Among others who sat down to the repast were Mayor Wallach, G. S Gideon, And numbers of otber prominent citizens. The press was very well represented, and they, ‘we mus! suy, were well attended to. After the inner man had been satisfied the wine began to flow, and the toasts were an- nounced by the president (Mr. Klomao.) The first was—“The festival we celebraie;” to which Mr. Schmidt responded in German. The -econd—-The President of the United ” to which Col. O’Beirne replied. “The city of Wasbington” was drank with applause, and Mr. Wallach being introduced briefly replied, first apolog.zing for not being present in time on Monday to welcome the Visitors. and proceeded to speak of his pleas. Ant associations with the Germans, saying that years ago he remeinbered when there were less ian fiuty Germans here, and expressed bi gratificatien that the German element, which was always an order loving one, had increased in numbers, and complimented them on the order observed at the fes:ival. The fourth toaxt—«“The Press.” was re- eponded to by Mr. Bennett, of the Express. ‘The fitth—“To the visiting friends,” was re- sponded to by a telegram from Maj. Blumen- berg, of Baltimore, as follow- ‘One heart, one son!, one shot; we are with you In spirit.” A number of volunteer toasts followed. Sprechrs were made. and the company tin- gered around the festive board for some time. The banqnet was gotten up iu the very best style, and the managers thereof deserve credit, ‘The Park was densely crowded lasteven'ig, and everythicg passed off pleosantly. Han- dreds of Chinese lanterns were sxspended from the trees, making @ be.utitul display. Tbe Marine band under Prof. Scala, daring the evening, performed many excellent pieces of music, and the string band of Prof. Weber furnished music for the dancers. About stx o'clock the pr'zes for tbe day were awarded, as foliows: The first bowling prize, consisting of a heavy silver waiter, ice pitcher, and two goblets, valued at $70, presented by Mr. Semken. was awarded to Mr. Jacob Di- mer; the second prize, consisting of one dozen solid silver table spoons, valued at $40, was awarded to Mr. L.

The first prize for ladies’ shooting, consisting of a bardsome double shaw!, presented by Me-ers. Lansourg & Bro, was awarded to Miss Lebmkul. Atnine o’clock in the evening a procession wes formed, headed by the Marine band, and Prof. Leslie was escorted to the lower part of the grounds where the rope 1s suspended. Then commenced a brilliant display of fire- works, and Prot. L. ascended the ropes. After walking over the same he again returned near the middle of the rope where he madea display of fire- works while suspended from therope by his feet This elicited the greatest applause from all present. Aiter performing several Gifficnlt feats on the rope he descended, and the procession returned to the hotel. ‘The feetivities were kept up until after mid- night, ang excellentorder prevailed.

Dr. Grammer has received repeated tokens of the appreciation of his scholarly merit by the faculty and trustees of this institution, having gradnated with distinction, and been subse. quently appointed to- deliver the master’s ora- tion in that cezTee of the arts.

A regular monthly meeting of the Govern- ‘ment Clerks’ Association was held lest might at Temperance Hall, Mr. James M. Blanch- ard, the president, in the chair, A number ef new-elected candida‘es came forward aud subscribed to the constitution and by-laws. Mr. St-rn offered a resolution, that a com- mittee of five be appointed to prepare a memo- Tlalto Congress at its next meeting, asking that as far a3 practicrble the miscellaneous books beinnging tothe different Executive De- partments may be collected in one place, where the employees of the Government may nave access to them out of office hours. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Brady, who rarnestly advocated its passage. He thought that if euch an arrangement should be made as was contemplated therein, it would enable the clerks to be better informed, and ‘a8 a consequence their usefulness to the Gov- ernment would be very much enhanced. Mr. Kelsey endorsed the objects ot the reso- Intion, as far as they were set forth, but thought it rather meager and incompiete. In bis opinion a committee shou!d also be ap- pointed to memorialize Congress for a charter, ‘which would give the association a reapon- sible character and place it before the country in the light that it deserved tobe. That the organization would becomes prominent me- dium for good and usefulness, there was not the shadow of a doubt, and to secure for it a charter from Congress would be a step in the Tight direction. It would be sometime before Congress again assembled, and, in the interim, he thought it wonid be proper to take every preliminary for laying the wants cf the asso- ciation before that body. He would also sug- gest that the matters under consideration be lid before tbe heads of the departments, in order to secure their co-operation. With this object in view, he offered as a substitute, reso- latvons— That a committee of eight be appointed, te consist of one member from each of the execu- tive departments represented in this assoc! tion, whose duty it shall be to present the in- teretts and purposes of this society to the heads of departments, with the view of se- curing their a‘d and influence in the establish- jen! of permanent clerical headquarters, to be furnished with a reading-room and library, and other meane, to advance the moral, social, intellectual and official interesis of the Gov- ernmentsemployeesat Washington. Thatsaid commitiee be further authorized andinstructed to take the necessary steps to effect a perma- nent organization of this aseociation by ob'ain- ing a charter and appropriation from Congress at its next session. ‘Mr. Siern was indisposed to accept the res- elutions of Mr. Kelsey as a substitute tor the one he had offered. Although they were dri- ving at the same thing, yet experience had taught him that where several objects were to be attained, it was far better to divide them up into several branches than to consolidate them, and impose laborious duties upon one com: mittee. Mr. Brady favored the reference of the whole subject to @ special committee, with instrac- tions to consult snd report action ata subse- quent meeting. He thought there was plenty of time, and no need existed for precipitancy of action. ‘The views expressed by Mr. Stern were fa- yored by Mr. Dille. Mr. Stern argued in favor of immediate ac- tion on the resolutions, and hoped they wou!d be directly referred to committees, with in- structions to enter fully upon their labore. He thought there was no time to lose. After some further remarks from Mr. Kelsey, in advocacy of the reference of the resolutions to a special committee, the vote thereon was taken, and it was decided in the affirmative. The following names were thea suggested as the committee, and appointed by the president: B F.<tern, Treasury Department; J. E. Brad War Department; H. D. J. Pratt, State Depart- ment; W. Duane Wilson, Agricultural Depart- ment; W. S. Graff, Interior Department. The cubject of incorporating a co-operative feature in the association, for the purchase of fuel, provisions, &c., at mcre reasonable prices than are now and have been paid, was intro- duced and discuesed; but upon a statement that a meeting baving this object in view wa called for to-night, no action was taken, and the meeting thereupon adjourned. -- — Base BALy.—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, a game of bare ball was piayed be- tween the Active and Creighton clubs, for the junior championship, or the new grounds of tbe Nationals, which resuited in favor of the Active, the score standing 32 for the Creighton and 34 for the Active. A game was also played on White Lot, back of the President’s yesterday a.ternoon, be- tween the Continental and Uapitol clubs, the score standing, at the close of the game, 60 for the Capitol and 13 for the Continental.

DeEDicaTION oF A LxcTuR® Room.—The Sabbath school room or lecture room of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, which for the past few weeks has been undergoing repairs, ‘Was dedicated to the service of the Lord last evening, with appropriate ceremonies. A large Attendance of members of the congregation was present, and the occasion was rendered a most interesting one to all. There were present in ‘the pulpit (or what more technically should be cailed the superintendent's stand) the Rev. Byron Sunderland, of the First Presbyterian Cbureb; Rev. Dr. McFalls, of the Assembly's Cuurch, on I street; Rev. George B. Smith, of the 6th street Presbyterian Oburch, Island: and Rey. Dr. Burdett, of Massachusetts. The exercises were commenced by Dr. J.O Smitb, pastor of the church,who read from the Psalms. «+1 was glad when they said to me, Let Us go unto the house of the Lord;” after which the congregation sang, “Joy to the world, the Lord is coming;” when the pastor offered up to God a ferventand earnest prayer of thanks for his mercies and goodness. Mr. Shedd, the chairman of the board of ‘Trustees, made a statement of the action of tne Board, with refei @ to the improved lecture Toom. The contract had been given to Mr. Downing, who agreed todo the work, inclu. sive of a few extra alterations for $3,650. The frescoing had becn done at & cost of $300. The sofa bad been purchased of Mr. Wilson, who liberally deducted $10 rom the price, while the balance of the money was 1atsed by his (Mr. Sbedd’s) cless in the Sunday «chools. Dr. Burdett was introduced and expressed bis pleasure at the improvement of the room and went on to demcnstrate that in all church improvements there should be but one object in view—the glory of God. Dr. Sunderland next addressed theaudience, expatiating up on the beauties of the room and congratulating Dr. Smith, the pastor of ih+ eburch, upon bis success, with his flock. He remembered when the church was used as a bospital tor the brave defenders of our couu- try, when the doctor received and cared for many of these brave boys; and when the charch was opened again he revumed the work of God with renewed vigor and zeal, with great success in the conversion of souls. The Doc- tor concluded his remarks and offered to God. atervent and earmest prayer. Dr. McFalls next spoke concerning the suc- cess of the church, stating that as it had been meces:ary for the church ro enlarge three or four times, so he hoped that by reason of num- bere, they would soon have to enlarge again. He would impress upon his hearers the 1m- Berane of filling up the seats of the beautiful Sabbath school room with the children. and that they should create all possible interest in the Sabbath school. Rev. Geo. B. Smith was introduced and spoke earnestly, reviewing the importance of little things—ibey should not be slighted— God did not slight them.” Dr. Smith, the pastor of the church, next spoke, making some statements as to the finances ot the church; there was stilla bal- ance due upen the repairs of the lecture room. A collection was taken up and a considerable sum realized. Atter which America—«My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,” Was eung by the andience, and the meeting was bronght to a close, Dr. Burdett pronounc- ing. the benediction. ‘be new lecture-room is admirably arranged for the convenience of the Sabbath school, and will seat about 400. The room for the infant class 1s back of the superintendent's stand. and is separated by a glass partition, the doors of which can be shoved back, thus throwing the two rooms into one. The seats for the imfant class are elevated one above another, and weil arranged for the convenience of the little ones. ‘The improvements of these school and meeting Tooms have been completed ia a workmanlike manner by Messrs. Downing & Bro3.,, who contracted for all such work, except the plamb- ing and gasfitting, which has been performed in their usual satisfactory manner by the firm of Alex R. Shepherd & Bro3. On next Thursday evening the services will be continued, upon which occasion the Rev. Byron Sunderland will preach to the congre- gation, Sg A Nuisance Cask.—Charies Page, Govern- ment contractor, had a hearing before Justice Walter yesterday morning, on charge of cre- ahng & nuisance, the particulars of which have teen heretofore publixhed in the Stur.

He has just eppointed Judge Lawrence to take charge of the proscribed freedmen in Middle Tennessee. In his letter of instructions the General says: “If necessary, advertise by telegraph North d South that laborers can be supplied. in sending men out of the State, transportation will be furnished trom Washington. You will establien a depot in Na-hyille for all who bave no homes. Good citizens, black and white, can doeomething to alleviate hardships that must ensue from this wholesale pro- scription.” Accompanying there instructions Juuge Lawrence will issue through the pa- Pr 8 an appeal to the people of the State, ur- ging forbearance and toleration to the freed- men.

The Chronicte of this morning says: “The ramors which have been afloat for some days pastin relation to the anxiety of President Jobmson to remove the Secretary of ‘War from his Cabinet, have been verified by facts, On Monday the Prestdent addtessed » Rote to the Secretary, stating m substance, th: considerations of public interest would per- suade him (the President) to accept his (Mr. Stanton’s) resignation if tendered. This note Teached the Secretary yesterday morning. He Teplied that considerations of public interest had prevailed with him to held bis office for several months past, and that considerations of public interest would prevail with him to hold it until tae assembling of Uongress. All applieations for official copies of the corr ponaence have been refsed, but its conten's ave been made Kuown, and the foregoing we believe, emoraces all that it contains, as ft is extremely b-ief.

Perhaps the President may remove him, thongh it isextremely doubiful whether he has the power under the Tenure of Office jaw. It is evident things are approaching a crisis. The President has semi-officially an- nounced General Sherigan’s removal, but :ne official order 1s not yet forthcoming. The cause of the delay {s found in the opposition of Stanton and Grant. If he finds it impossibie to reconcile them to his plans, an explosion must foliow. As to who will get hurt in the blow up we have not the slightest doub’. 1t will be A.

There bas been, however, on the part of both, the utmost forbearance. Each has appreciated and respected the high sense of duty which governed the other. The Pres- ident bas disregarded for nearly two years the systematic effor's of Mr. Stanton’s enemies to embarrass their relations. Mr. Stanton, on his part, has endeavored to render the best service in his power to the President and the country, by an energetic, honest, and faithful discharge of his official duties. ‘it is said now that Mr. Stanton is firmly opposed to the removal of General Sheridan, and that this collision of views in the management of the War Depart- ment will occasien his retirement.” From an editorial in the Boston Transcript of Monday, we take the following: “Personal regard for the President has not operated to keep (Mr. dtanton) in office for moment, heither will the aversion and indigna tion whieh he, in common with most loy: 4 men, feels at the course of President Johnson. drive bim from the post he now occupies, so long asthe public good can be subserved’ by his holding bis present place. He cannot be Temoved by President Johnson, withont the advice and consent of the Senate, and no amountof denunciation emanating irom the White House, and poured inio the public ear through 8 “eubsidized” press at Washington and elsewhere. will have the slightest effec: to bring about bis witbdrawal from Mr. Jobn- son’s Cabinet until Le perceives that the Union cauee and those so nobly upholding itin the South can receive no farther advantage by bis continuing as War Secretary. When that time arrives, Mr. Stanton will, with great avidity, no doubt, consult personal considera- tions, and renounce ali connection with an Administration, the policy of which he has firmly opposed, and has taken occasion to thwart whenever the public interests required sucb action on his part.” The Baltimore American of this morumg says: “Secretary Stanton declines complying wi! Mr. Johnson's request to withdraw from th Cabinet. From Washington we learn tha: tae President, in his nore inviting Mr. Stanton to resign, based bis aciton “on the ground of pub- lie considerations of a high character.” The e and faithful Secretary of War, no doubt sacrificing his private feelings in the matter for the public good, and the furtherance of what be conceives bis duty to the country, replies that for similar reasons to those urged by the President, “public considerations of a high character.” he will continue in the position of Secretary of War until the ensuing meeting of Congress! A meeting of the Cabinet was held yesterday, but Mr. Stanton did not attend. His action will raise a howl of indignation from the Copperhead press of thecountry. bat he will be sustained by the great mass of the eople, who believe that his services could not dispensed with at this juncture without great danger. Many of the prominent Repub- lican journals of the country have recom- mended him to pursue exactly the course he bas marked out for himself. The President cannot dismiss Mr. Stanton, the Tenure ot Office law of last Congress declaring that tne members of the Cabinet are subject to re- moval by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,” and it he undertakes to appois: successor he does go in violation of law. Sheri- dan sull continues in command in Louisiana. His removal will probably cause a rapture between the President and General Grant, as the latter has thoroughly endorsed his subor- dinate's course A Great Strike ExpEn—The Pittsburg (Pa., Commercial says that the great lock-out, as itis now generally termed. which has since the 12th of January last closed or nearly closed the rolling mills of that city, is now regarded by all parties concerned asatanend, The iron workers generally appear to be satisfied with the compromise, and express their intention of observingit. This compromire allows the boil- ere $9 per ton until the 17th ofthe present menth. ‘After that they submit toa reduction of one dollar per ton. with an agreement that a further reduction shall take place in case tne price of iron decrerses. This arrangement seems to be accepted by all parties as final, and in a tew weeks the milles will be running to there fullcapacity. The suspension of labor bas been one of the most extessive that has ever occurred in that locality, andthe effects bave been elt by all classes ot society.
