BLACKFORD 113 Barpor stager, GroroETow ee CIVIL RIGHTS. al Convention of Colored Me LOSING PROCBEDINGS LAST NIGHT. ‘The report of the proceedings of the National Nat ‘s | Convention of Colored men closed yesterday with mention or the adoption of am address to Congress and the American people. ‘THE ADDRESS sets forth that nearly five millions of America citizens are shamefully outraged in not, ha: ing accorded to them all the rights of citizens; complains of the invidious distinctions made by common carriers, hotels, and other public places of convenience and refreshments, places amusement, places of public instruction, tions to the theory that Congress may not inter- fere except through the United States courts to secure to the citizens an impartial jury; de- clares that there is no prohibitory clause of the constitution denying the rights asked for; that the state taxes are in common for education and should educate in common; that as citizens are called on, regardless of race or color, to bear duties a responsibilities, distinction must be ignored in the er ng pose of rights. If tween private and public schools, let private schools be main- tained if persons are willing to pay for them, but let the common schools be open to all, and if the associations therein be not altogether agreeable, set it down to the character of our government and institutions and avoid! the dis- agreeable fact, if you must, not by outraging the rights of others, but pay for @ private school. It is an abridgement of the privileges of a citizen to say because of his color he shall not select the school he shall goto. The addre-s quotes the language of the republican party by which the present executive was elected in relation to exact equality In the enjoyment of all civil rights, and claims that it is not exact equahty to ete to go toa prescribed y a jury trom which every are of that clasa, and closes with the republican party to carry out because the a demand of its premises. THE RESOLUTIONS submitted by the committee on civil rights were taken from the table for consideration, and remarks were made by Messrs. Syphax, of the | District of Columbia; Sumuer, of Mississippi; Lewis, of Louisiana; Harlan, of Ohio; and Burch, of Louisiana. : ‘A recess was here taken until 7:50 o’clock p. ™., and on reassembling, Mr. Burch, of Louts- tana, finished his remarks in favor of the report, and was followed by Mr. Helm, of Kentucky, and Kev. Sella Martin; after which it was adopted. The report of the committee on address to Congress was next adopted. ‘The chairman of the committee on finance Teported that $159.40 had been collected; the xpenses of the convention were $205.50, leaving a deticiency of $106.10. This caused great dissatisfaction and some grumbling, but finally the chair announced that three gentlemen had agreed to pay #20 each, which considerably lightened the amount to be raised, and in a short time the deficiency was made up.

The | officers suspecting that they were tg | stolen goods or engaged in some way wi thieves, arrested them while they were crossing ‘eth street, and drove the buggy with all it con- | tained to the station-house on K street, and conducted the two men, (one white and one colored,) and the woman, ( white,) intoa private | room, when they were questioned but returned evasive answers. A GRAVEYARD KIT. In the buggy were two shovels which had the | appearance of having been recently used, | about haif a dozen large strong bags, a bottle of liquid, a syringe and a ball of strongtwine. It occnrred to the officers that from the kit found these persons might be engaged in grave rob- bing, and Sergeant Kneass with Officers Mo- Gine and Hawkins started to visit the grave- yards. There was also @ screw driver in the buggy. A DREAD BODY IN A SACK. On taking a circuit ot Holmead’s burying round they discovered on the 19th-street side, by the fence, a large bag, and on closer inspec- tion found that it csntained the dead body of Thomas Fletcher, colored, who was buried 7 terday from his late residence on L street. The body was doubled up in order to get it into the sack, with the bead and hands at the mouth of | the same, and on each end of the bag were fixed | strong hand-holds, for the purpose of carrying it with more ease. Leaving one of the officers in charge, the sergeant statianed the other officer at a distance, to see if any party or par- ties should take the body away, while he returned to the station house and | telegraphed to Lieut. Noonan, of the second precinct, to send his men to take charge of the body—it being in his precinct. THE WHITE MAN who was arrested gave his name as Dr. George &. Archer. He was searched, and @ six-barre! revolver, loaded, found in bis pocket, together | with papers and a memorandum book, from which it would appear that his right name is jeorge A. Christiana, formerly a clerk in the | Surgeon General's office, now residing on Cap- | itol Hill, and that he has been carrying on | AN EXTENSIVE BUSINESS AS BODY BNATCHER | for some time, the dates showing his transac- | tions with several medical institutions in Cleve- | land, Ohio, Virginia, and the District, to which he has sent bodies tor about six’ months, and during that time he must have seni away several hundred bodies. A recent order from an institution in Virginia directs him to pac’ TWO RODIES IN WHISKY BARRELS TianT, and use sawdust tor packing. One from Cleve- land tells him to use strong boxes instead of | barrels, as the barrel-heads get loose, and might occasion suspicion. One memorandum shows that he went to Potter's field for Henry Young's body, (who was recently hung,) and was disap- pointed by digging up the body of @ woman in- stead of Young's. The book shows tat he has | taken bodies trom the graves in almost every | cemetery in this District—Holmead’s, Moun | Zion, Potter's tield and the Young Men's Chris- tian Association burial grounds being fre- quently noted, and that the Virginia University and the medical departments of other colleges have been customers of his, . CHRISTIANA’S DIARY contains notes for everyday in this year, from | January to December sth, from which it ap- pears that he has been attending medical lece | | tures,but no reverence is made to @ sabject until | Aogast last, and then there is a reference to | the body of Beau Hickman. Under the date of Monday, Dee. ist, it is stated “visited Potter's Field shipped two sunjects in whiskey barrels to Virginia”; Dec’r ith, +*yisited Holmead’s and Young’ Men's grounds and failed”; Dee’r 6th, © isited Evenezer, Kate and I, and gota sub- ject”; Dec's 7th, “went to Mt.

It was a lovely moonlight night and everything went off lovely.” Under the date of September 10th the exzite- ment caused by the discovery of Beau's bod, | having been tampered with is reterred to ani | he states “I haye found no one who suspicions who did it.” | In some of the entries is mentioned, “I paid | * » $2 as his share,” and in one or two‘‘went | to * = and returned the keys.” THE PRICE POR DEAD BODIES. A correspondence shows that the price de- | manded by him ($40 per corpse) was considered too much by some of his customers, who thought 80 Ought to be Case to satisty him. In his | pocket was also found a card of membership in the Young Men’s Christian Association. The | woman who was with him is young and keen- looking, and gives her name as Margaret Har- | tison. The colored man, who is doubtless hired by Christiana, isa young man,*slender built, with dark hair and complexion, and it is | said has a wife and cbildren living in this city | He gives his name as Charlies Green. They are | all in custody at police heatquarters. | EXCITING SCENES AT POLICE STATION. ‘This morning early the station house was besieged with many persons who were much | excited, and later this morning some four or five hundred colored and white people were in | trent of the doors and had to be driven away b: | the police. All the prisoners are at | quarters awaiting an investigatibn by the proper authorities, but what form the investi- j Cc. will take is not yet determined apon. t is understood that a there is no local law covering the case the old Maryland laws will | probably be brought into requisition. ae Control of the Streets and Avenues, THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE TWO BOARDS. At the last meeting of the Board of Health, it will be remembered that a communication was received from the Board of Pablic Works stating that “ by the organic act the Board of ‘ublic Worke is given entire control of the streets, alleys and sewers in the District of Columbia, and in the exercise of this control the 1 Public Works does not deem it proper any of the streets, avenues, or alleys interfered with or opened for the purpose of draining lots or houses without written permis- sion from and notifying the Board of Health not to “make any openings in the streets or alleys without first obtaining a age in writing, from the Board of Public Works.” ‘This communication excited considerable dis- cussion, and Dr. D. W. Bliss was directed to communicate with the Board of Public Works on the subject, with a view to determine the urisdiection of each body. Acco-dingly, Dr. hiss Pong ae A addressed a letter to the Board ot Pablic Works, stating that the Health Board | has never directly or indirectly attempted to | interfere with the powers or prerogatives of the Board of Public Works in the premises, or to open any street, avenue, alley, or sewer, for the purpose of draining any house or lot, or for any other pury Dr. Bliss quotes the case of Henry F. Cruit, where the assistant secretary | of the Board of Public Works stated in writing that the latter body would “ cheerfully make | such drainage as may be necessary for the | proper enforcement of the law whenever your jonorable body make application therefor.”” Dr. B. Lng shed a letter from the assistant, | eecretary of Board of Public Works, dated | August 26, 187: ting that yy the organic tit is made the duty of Board of Healt! not only to declare what sha!l constitute a nui- | sance injurious to health, but it also makes it | the duty of said board to abate the same, and invests it with full power in the premises.

Harkuess briefly stated that the counsel of the association, Mr. I. L. John- son, bad appealed the casv, and that that gen- tleman was present. Mr. Johnson explained that in this case Mr. Cox as the auditor had made a very lengthy report in which he discussed the whole subject of building associations, showing that they do not come under the law of usury. When the case was before Judge Humphreys he did not make an argument, because of the intimation of the court as to what would be the decision, ani as this character of the case had not been de- cided on by the General Term he had appealed January. The questions involved in the casé were of vital interest to all associations, as they affected fines and the settlement of advances. ‘The counsel tor plaintiff have intimated that if the case is decided in General Term against him it willbe taken to the Supreme Court jor the United States. Mr. Koones, secretary of the Economical, ex- plained this particular case. Mr. Prather urged that whether the Eecono- mical allowed borrowers a direct participation in the profits or not was not the question, for if borrowers did not participate directly they did indirectly. This decision strikes at the very vitals of these associations, and the question is, . W. E. Brown said that he was sent here to pledge his association to the aid of the Econ- omica) in their legal troubles, and moved, to settle the matter, that the delegates present pledge their associations, respectively, to bear @ pro rata portion of the expense attending the settlement of the question in court. Several delegates stated that they had been instructed to report back to the associations, and they could not pledge their associations ta this time. Mr. Hopkins urged prompt action, and he was 20 well satisted with the desires of his associa- tion (the Security) that he was willing to pledge it. Mr. N.D. Larner said that he could not pledge his association, and offered as a substitute a resolution “that, in the opinion of tuis meeting it is the duty of the various building associations to assist the Economical Building Association in prosecuting the ap now pending in the court in banc, ard that we obligate ourselves to urge upon our astociations to bear their propor- tionate shares of the expense.” t Mesers.
