H., that portion re- lating to mission: boxes and expenditures, appropriations and’ finance was referred to a committee of five members; that portion re- lating to the time of meeting of state conven- tions was referred to a committee of one from each state: that so much as relates to Sunday schools and education was referred to a com- mittee of three; and that portion relating to matters of lay gre poe! church expenditures, missionary work, and the remainder of the re- port to a Committee of three members. The report of the trustees shows a favorable condition of the financial affairs of the conyen- tion. ‘The debt, meluding the Murray fand loan of $10,000, now amounts to $22,415.70. The Murray fund now amounts to $120,959.44, and eftorts in behalf of augmenting this fand_ until it amounts to $200,000 are urged. Rules for the holding and administration of the Gunn minis- ‘und are recommended. By these rules any Universalist minister in lar fellowship and unimpeached moral standing, or the widow or family of any such clergyman, in need of aid, may be the recipient of an amount not ex. ceeding $250 per annam. The total receipts from the system of missionary boxes in use by the church have netted $2,459.40 for the current year, One hundred and sixty-five parishes have responded to the obligation of Annual collections and altogether their contri- butions amounting to $3,867.74, with others yet to hear from. A change in thé time of helding state conventions is recommended in orderto co- oporate with the national convention and make available the data furnished by the latter body. Ten scholarships haye been granted since tlic last session, of which six are at Canton and four at Tufts; twelve students graduated at the above named institution,and ftirty-tive scholar- shtps have been in force during tbe year, ata cost to the convention of $6,000. The prepara- tion of the Sunday school record books are in progress, a8 ordered by the Cincinnati conyen- jon. The establishment of an order of lay preachers is recommended under prescribed Tules of the convention. In reference to the missionary work in this city, the report states that this important point firstengaged the attention of the board, and the secretary was directed to give it the’ time and labor nécessary to put the movement upon itsfeet. The snecess has been speedy and de- cisive. The amount raised by the board for this purpose has been $1,250, which, with the amount raised by the parish, has secured the services of Rev. U. H. Fay as pastor, and under his ministrations the auspices are most favora- ble. The state of the church, unday schools, and education are discussed at considerable lengin, and the whole field reviewed, closing with Lopeful promises forthe future. The con- vention was in session when our report closed. GEORGETOWN. “& WasnIncton” on * West Wasi We are surprised to find is opposed to dispensing with the old name of ieorgetown. ‘ Georgetonian” says if it changed let it be simply Washington is preferable, we admit, but can the streets re-named to suit the name Washington? He i in his letter of Saturday that it is Washingt: ertain! u it was first mentioned by one of the oldest bu ness men of our city, and a very large majority of them are in faver of the change. He says we are a coal center, and have a population ot 25,000 or 30,000. ‘True we are a coal center, but how long can we remain #0 if our channel is not kept navigable? Our population by the last census was only 11,84, and surely it has not doubled in the last two years. He further states that we can take care of ourselves, and do not wish the interference of Washingtonians. This we might have dune under the old corporation, but under the present District government what contro! have we over anything? The District legislature makes our laws, and District of- ficials enforce them, or should do so. The loard of Public Works control all street im- provements, and nothing is left for ‘« G@eorgeto- nian” to do but growl. While we hold both the name of George Beall and gerne Washington in grateful remembrance, that will not buy the baby a dress or get usa'dinner, If chuaging the ‘name will enhance the value of our prop- erty and make trade, as most of our far-seeing men think; it by Cages a the name we can gain the friendship of all Washington and make our interest their interest, our harbor their harbor; in a word, make us aunitin the advancement of all that will benefit the two cities, lev’s have the new name. We must pull together. Ifnot, Georgetown being the weaker, she will be the loser. ARRIVAL OF THE PoTomAG RActInG Crew.— On Saturday last our friends of the Potomac boat club did not know and could not ascertain what had become of their four-oared crew that started in the race at Saratogaon Friday last. ‘The Associated Press report announced the re- turn of all the others, but omitted tosay any- thing about the Potomac crew. Where had the: one? It was suggested by some that they had heen detailed to assist in the search tor the Polaris; by others that they had gone up in the big, balloon. What jad become of them’? he truth became known finally, and it is seldom one has to place upon the record a more gallant strugele, or 4 more continuous series of mishaps, Their crew had only about twenty minutes practice ip their new boats before stari- ing for the cars. The new oars ordered for the boat were useless. Of the oars in use, No. broken at the last moment in consequence of a tugrunning across their bow. Nevertheless, having promised, they went to Saratoga and started with five competitors inthe four-oared shell race. Immediately after starting they fouled with one of their competitors, (the Beaverwyck, of Albany, N.
