The first public meeting of this Society—a branch of the Universal Peace Convention, Which held its sessions hereon Thursday and Friday—was held on Saturday afternoon at the Harmoniai Hall, 318 Pennsylvania avenue, when there were irom 150 to 200 persons Present. Among the number were Mrs, pn cose S. Griffin, Dr. Mayhew, and Dr. LOW President, of the Universal Peace So. Mr. John Beeson, better known as Father Beeson, called the meeting to order, and com- menced to read a letter 10 Congress in behalf of the Indians from Miss Fanay Green, and af: reading for some time with cons der ible dif culty, he stated that he had recently had a new set of teeth in his mouth, and was giving them the first trial, but he would hive to dispose of them, and suiting the action to the worl out they came and wer saiely deposited in his pocket. He then procreded to fi and commented at some length on the copteuts Doyle or Boyle, in the audience, finally got tired of the Indian subject, and in- uired when the legitimate subject would ken up, saying that this was the third ni + had come to hear about peace, bat thus far he had heard of Indians only. Mr. Beeson said that he was waiting for gentleman who had promised to meeting, [a voice, “He is sic Indisn had also promised to clim d. Mr. H. Clay Preuss was called for, and made a few remarks, after which he recited his poem, “A Prayer for Peace.” Father Beeson remarked that they had had prayer enough. He had been to Uni meetings in Richmond and this eit: all prayed to the same God of battirs, but ! battles had not been affected in the least oy them, He did not believe in prayer; it was ac- tion that he wanted.

He spoke of an tempt having been made a few rs since get up @ proper translation of the Bible, but tailed because it was thought that if it was done ministers would have ty confess to having disseminated false doctrine. Father Beeson was interrupted by a genile- man who demanded some *«pez.ce talk,” but he Paid no attention, and proceeded to speak of the Indian, and subsequently disignated . Griffin, Mrs. Anna D.

Mr. Love moved that the President of the Society, Mrs. Griffin, take the chair, but she declined, saying that Father Beeson was quali- tied to preside. Dr.John Mayhew, Dr. Love, Mr. Cravens, and a number of others got into a discussion as to the manner in which the peace docirne: Were to be carried out. Rev. Mr. Parker deprecated the remarks ia reference to the ministry, and defended the ministers from the attack of Father Beeson. If the peace principles were to be forth with such sentiments as had been expressed he did not think that they could have the effect that could be wished. Dr. Mayhew replied that he yielded to no s admiration of the principles of the 5 igion, but he did not have much confidence in the doctrines enunciated wader the zarb of christianity. The meeting adjourned absat 11 o'clock. a Western STATES ANTI-RADICAL CLUR.—In Tesponse to a call of the Executive Committee, A meeting of the Western States Anti-Radical Club was held on Saturday night, at their Tooms, on Seventh street.

C. Murdock in the chur, and Mr. A. H. Kinney, Secretary. Dr. James Records add: the meeting on the “Origin of Man,” holding that man had - existed at least forty thousand years. He stated that skulls had been found when the foreheads were flat, and rather than concede that the Bible was wrong, it was given out that the shape was made by using boards. Also, that bones had been found in Ohio of a size indi- cating that the individual was ten feet high. It was alleged by some that man’s original form Was that of a monkey, and he was willing to ullow it. In his hands God held pieces of clay, and breathed on one making man, and on the other making the monkey, the latter to improve to manhood. Dr. Boyd addressed the Lyceum in opposi- tion to the infliction of capital punishment, after which the question, “That the choice of Cabinet officers shonid remain with the Presi- dent,” was discussed by Messrs. Robert Cun. mingham and W.C. Murdock in the affirma- tive, and A. H. Kinsey in the negative. CanDiemas Day. Yesterday, the 2d of Feb- Tuary, being the feast of Purification of the Blessed Virgin, was appropriately observed in all the Catholic Churches, and the congrega- tions were very large. This being the day upon which the faithful contribute candies for the use of the altar during the yzar, the impressive ceremony of blessing the same took place. It isthe custom among Catholics to have a few blessed candles in their houses, and the cere- mony of blessing these takes place at the same tume as those for the church. Candlemas Day, aside from its importance as areligious festival, was, in former times, believed to foreshadow the condition of the weather and crops during the remainder of the year; that is, if theday was clear and bright, it denoted a long continuance of winter and a poor yieldof crops. On the contrary, if the day was cloudy and wet, it de- noted an abundant - yiéld of the crops and a speedy termination of winter. The ground hog saw his shadow yesterday, so that according to tradition he has gone into his hole again to hy- bernate for six weeks longer, as winter will last that loag. ———— INSTALLATION OF A PaSToR.—Yesterday af- ternoon Rey. G. L. Reitz was installed ag the — of the German Evangelical Lutheran hurch, corner of 4% and D street, (south Washington,) in the presence of a very large congregation. Rev.

Rev. Dr. Finkel summoned the new pastor and the con- sistory tothe altar, and after asking and oo- taining answere to the questions laid down ia the ritual or discipline, he installed the new pastor in his office. —-—__.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 1568. Edstor Star: My attention was accidental called to a bill offered in the Board of Common Council last Monday night, providing for the inspection of horses, mules, and cattle. I will not occupy your columns to discuss the general tenor of the bill, for it another of those out- croppings of folly that has too often showed itself in municipal legislation. The fourth section runs thus: “That the said inspector shall have access to all stables, yards, or slaughter-houses, and if horses, mules, or c&ttle are found with gland- ers or farcy, the same shall be immediately reported tothe Mayor, who shall cause them to be killed at once on the spot, and the siauyh- ter of diseased cattle stopped.” But it is fortunate for men and animals that science in its conflict with the ever-changing diseases fails not, also, to grapple with those diseases heretofore considered incarable. In veterinary practice we have a living illustra- tion of its work in the successful treatment of those very diseases, which, when discovered, the Mayor is to order the subject of them killed on the spot. Now let us see how this law wonld operate, and to illustrate I will instance my own case. In the latter part of November, I had a horse taken with farcy, of a malignant type. It was destroyed, for the best treatment I could give. the disease steadily gained ground A few days after, I learned that several cases were be Ing successfully treated in the stables of G. L. Sheriff, Esq., of this city, by J. B. McKay, vet. rifary surgeon. I was ineredulous, for in all my feadings, and study of the theory and ractice of veterinary science, in no author of —s French, fad oes, American Vet- Tina: jurgery, cou! gather any encourage- ment that farcy or gl one and insepara— ble, could be successfally treated. 1 found the Doctor very courteous, and communicative, and in discussing the various theories touching this terrible disease, and its ever varying geviete and types, from those laid down by ‘aycock and Percival, two the best veterinary ractitioners England ever produced, I found im so well read, that prejudice gave way, and I carefully watched his treatment to since have had cases, horses each worth bundred dollars, and they are now cured, and in better physical resembles in man, not only in its Dut in its effects on the system. ow anak: like these at the of i ‘ft ii i i lH a i i il in. ; how unwise and unjust it is to enact LW, 80 at ian with pce the right gf e community, TT.
