Spanning the eastern beavens from north to south a rainbew. ur broken arch—stoud out in beantiful distinc hess, while directly underneath, sarmounted by the Goddess of Liberty, loomed up in its mag- nificence the deme of the Capitol, its gleaming whiteness rendered still more immaculate by the declining rays of the sun, which cut itsout- line sharp and clear ugainst the sombre back- ground. The tree-tops on either side of the Avenue and inthe Capitol grounds, just cleansed by the rnin, were crowned with a flood of yellow light, their dark green foliage obseuring the Wings of the Capitol, but aiding to bring out in «i contrast the towering grandeur of the dome and the west central front of the building. For about ten minutes this beautiful seene was admired by hundreds of people, who agreed that it far surpassed the Temple ot Fame as limned by Cole in his “Voyage of Life,” and was some- thing to be witnessed bet once in a lifetime. One suggested that ‘they couldn't get up a finer sunset than that in Paris,” and another hoped that Hon. “Sunset” Cox saw it, in order that he might add still further to bis literary fame by describing it. at ee) ‘THE wIxD AND RAIN StoRM which visi of country yesterday afternoon was welcomed, the benefits derived from the rain greatly overbalaneing the damage b: the wind.

Judge Snell ¢ livered a lengthy opinion, in which he took the oand that the laws —— by the District Legislature, imposing licenses on trades an‘ professions, repeals all former ordinances of the corporations, and therefore the District register could not be sustained in withholding a license under the circumstances recited, and that Mr. Keese could not be held for a penalty for doing busivese, the license being refused.

A dispateh to the New York Ieral? from B timore on the 21st inst , has some particulars of the trial by an ecclesiastical court of Lorenz» Dow Huston, late pastor of Trinity M.E. Church fouth, iu the latter city, which commenced on that day, the accused tminister being charged with a ‘number of hemous and revolting breaches of the moral code. The Herald dis- patch says of one ef the witnesses: “Virginia jopkins is a white servant Rul, who was em- ployed by Huston as a domestic, and who, som. ne mouths ago, preferred charges against t ‘cused of having seduced her from the paths of rectitude. In appearance she is decidedly plain, and her features are marred by the traces of small pox. She has 2 fine figure and graceful carriage, but in conversation exhibits a lack of education and culture. She was placed upon the stand at three o'clock. She told a very simple and unvarnished story, and gave evidence repeatedly of deep humiliation and distress at being placed in so trying a position. NO OTHER YOUNG MAN IMPLICATED. She was submitted to a crogs-examination of three hours duration by the learned counsel for the defence, in the course of which the questio: was asked whether she had not been seen with @ young man at a late hour of the night on the street with her hand resting on his shoulder. ‘The witness replied that on one oceasion she bad returned trom Holly Grove, a watering- place near the city, in company with hei anda young gentleman, and was in the Seren be aes night in front of her house. when the Rey. Dr. Huston passed by, and sh supposed this was the occasion referred to, Dr. Huston was always jealous of her when s! was the Me eon of attentions from other men. She declared positively that the REVEREND GENTLEMAN HAD SEDUCED HER, and that she had never permitted any intimacy from other men. She said that she was very much confused by the repeated interruption= and rapid questions propounded to her, and was unable to disclose what she could have done under more favorable circumstances. No“ star ber” inquisition has ever been conducted with more profoand secrecy than ha» thus far characterized the deliberations of this religious court. As was said above, all persons are rigidly excluded from the parsonage, whe the sessions of the court are held, and the pre- siding officer politely but positively declined to Hus give even the names of its members. . ton and bis attorney are equally reticent, and these tacts are obtained from a different but thoronghly reliable source. The community excited over the investigation, and the feeling is heighteaed by the extraordinary precautions of the members of the court against the unfold- ing of information.” The New Methodist Bish As stated by te! ph, the Methodisi general conference at Broo! tye New York, has elected eight bishops to be ; dignitaries, as follows: Dr, Wm.
