Mr. Moore gave an interesting HISTORY OF THE HALL, from which we give the ‘ollowing extracts: “Ip 4 the lodges became seriously im- | Pressed with the necessity of procuring a hall | Of their own, and, resolving to dev | means and ener nd, they sought the | Lodge. ¢ Grand Lodge, without regard to alar localities, generously sustained ise by a pledge of the meaus, re- sources and influence of that body. A resola- tion of cooperation by the Grand Lodge was passed ® August, 15+, and a committee was then appointed to draught s plan of the pro- posed building, to obtain @ site, and to ascer- tain the probable cost of a suitable structure. That committee subsequently Teported that they could not, purruant to their instructions, obtain at reasonable price a site on Penusyl- Vania avenue, and recoramended the site now Occupied by this building. Their recommenda- | tion was adopted, and on the 18th of January, 1845, resolutions of compact were introduced into and passed by the Grand Lodge, recog- nizing and protecting the subordinate lodges and encampment which had at that time ex- Pressed a purpose of contributing to the enter ise, by guaranteeing to each a representation fra bonr fof trustees to manage the property, and further providing that if thereafter any other lodge should come into the prescribed compact it should have a like representation. It was determined, with a view to securing faithfulnese and substantiability in construc- tion, that the building should not be sabmitted to contract, but erected and enclosed by day's work. It was commenced in April, 1345, under the superintendence of Wm. G. Deale, carpen- ter and builder, and of Jerome Diggs, well- known a an experienced bricklayer and ma- 2on. who, with trowel in hand, worked at the | head of Lis employees, and put up a foundation and walle which are regarded as among the most substantial in this or anyother city. The build- ing having been encicced with a substantial roof and all other appointments, the interior was completed under contract by J. T. Walker. The whole structure was completedia the course Of thirteen months, and was occupied by the order in May, 1646. ‘This wae the original strac- ture, composed of the wings and stairwa they now stand, and of the saloon, (less ad of stout twent feet,) an western bali ai \ige-roome in the upper Story.

Fortunately the trustees found It Practicable promptly to gratify their wish. The debt incurred by the first undertaking had been Virtually extinguish and, encouraged by former success, t mediately proveeded extend the building , to cover ail of the ground they had puret and greatiy to such wuisome ant gfatilication of the hed the work twelve month. ‘The entire an n the Lodges an £9,000, with es to issue siock to the With these means in pros mly two-thirds of the stock tees purchased this valua’ the first structure, Amount of = ect, though Tealized, the ground, comple d= enlarged bg Principal and i fathfuliy paid prior to 1% bad, in the intervai between their sa P and the discharge of out-ide indebtedness, re corded from time to time on account of intere: and repayment of principal, nearty one-half their origi ubscriptions, hat mainder T investments oniy about $5,(K00 On these inconsiderable outlays, or rather by abstinence from the use of their money, they found themselves credited in it, by the ac cumulation of interest at compound rates, with $24,000 in stock, five-fold the amount which had been drawn and withheld from their treasurr and. what is of more consequence to the Urde the possession of this stock, all other having been redeemed, made them the possessors of the entire property, the value of which every intelligent brother can estimate for himself. And yet, in addition to this immense gain, the Lodges, subsequently to the ‘discharge ot the outelde debt in 1564, and prior to the com- mencement of the present improvement, have been paid in cash dividends $25,000, which in. dependently of their augmentation of stock and acqnisition of the property, is five-fold the amount of their contributions left in the hands Of the trustees. No one of the trastees, as such, Bor any officer of the board, has ever receiv: compensation of any kind for any service he may have performed. It waa upon this board of trustees that was de Yolved, some fifteen months ago, the duty of conducting the present improvements. Advice, plans, suggestions were obtained from sev- era) architects, and also from a joint committee of mechanics and builders aitached to our lodges. The reeuit was the adoption of a plan which it was supposed would be acceptable and creditable to the Order. We proceeded to carry out that plan by commiencing the work in May year, and. after encountering some vyexa- Sous yet unavoidable delays, we have now com- pleted it, and present for your approval ami ac- ceptance the renovated building. Samuel Wise, carpenter and builder, has been the general Superintendent, and with select employees has faithfully performed all the work in’ his line. Wo. F.

THE CORCORAN SQUARE MARKET COMMISSION, charged by the legislative assembly with the construction of that building, claim that under the law they were continued with fall powers, which they pro to exercise. To this end they appointed asub-committee to confer with the District Commissioners, and lay the whole matter before them. This committee perform- ed the duty assigned them, and the subject was referred to Mr. Stanton for an opinion, which has been completed. The opinion has not yot been presented to the Commission, but it is said thatit takes the ground that the Northern mar- ket commission not legally exist, and that 888 matter of _— policy the Commissioner: of the District should not issu maining market-house bonds. On their side the market committee say that by law bonds to the | amount of $200,000. subject to their order, have been printed. Of this sum, $127,000 have been expended, and the remainder are In the hands of the Comptroller, and unless are turned over to them on demand they will take legal steps to obtain them. Some persons suggest that the square can be held by the District for other purposes or sold, but this the market com- mission deny, claiming that under the terms of the contract with Mr. Corcoran it was to be used ior market purposes only. If that be the case and the commission refuse to build, the und may be returned and the $100,000 in a demanded from the trustees of the art ery. wre matter is under advisement by the Com Mission, but no action has been taken, ——<—— The Israel Chureh Row. A LIVELY MEBTING AT THE ARMORY LAST ‘NIGHT. The Bishops in Council with the Church—Putile Attempt to Pacificate the Church—TPhe Decision of the Bishops Treated with Contempt—Shary Arraignment of Bishep Campbell. The council of bishops of the African Metho- «dist Episcopal church met at the Armory buil {- ing last evening for the purpose of conveying tc the congregation of the Israel A. M. E. church their decision relative to the controversy be- tween that church and the bench of bishops. The nature of the controversy wks explained in yesterday’s Star. No one but reporters and members of the congregation were admitted. At a little after eight o'clock Bishops Payne, Way- man, Shorter, Ward, Campbell, and Brown, with Rev. Jacob Mitchell, pastor of the charch, took seats on the platform. After singing, prayer was offered by Bishop Ward. Bishop Payne was clected chairman and Wm. Myers secretary. A discussion as to the order of busi- ness then followed, from which it was plain to be seen that the congregation were in a defi- ant mood and in no humor to be lectured by their religious superiors. Finally the reading of the conclusions of the bishops was asked for, when Bishop Wayman said the council had agreed to ask THREE QUESTIONS of the church, and that upon the answers would depend the couneil’s decision. He then read the first question as follows: “10 you regard y ives as members of the African Metho- piscopal Church?” Here a brother inthe congregation arose and atrenuously objected to being catechised by the Bishops. They were free men and this was a dodge which he for one would not submit to. He grew quite excited over the matter, but was finally induced to sit down. Another brother took the same view. Let the Hishops submit all their questions and the church would take them up and dispose of them as suited them best. This suggestion was ith much applause and exclamation «Ths so,” “That's what's the matter,”’ ead all the questions,” “Out with’em,” &c. Bishop Payne sald one of the questions which it would be éasy to answer was ‘Have you as a church declared yourselves independent of the jurisdiction of the A. M. E. church?” Here feveral persons in the congregation said it was untrue; that this church had never declared itself independent. Rey. James Reed, who it appears was suspeuded by the Baltimore con- ference some time since, made A VIOLENT BPRECH AGAINST THE BISHOPS, which was received with much applause by the audience. He spoke of the original deed as having no “E:” in it, and defended the action of the church in not having it inserted. He de- tailed his labors in the cause of Christ, for whom he had wrought nearly fifty years, and yet when he went to the Baltimore conference &@ cooling board—they Killed him. “There are tyrauts in this diocese,” he said, “and we are not going to stay under you.’ Here there was loud applause an! exclamations of approbation from all parts of the house. When good order was restored # resolution was ado} that all of the bishop’s questions be read for the consideration of thechurch. The third question was asked, if the church would revoke its action declaring itself independent, but as the bishops appeared satisfied from the representation made,that the church never took any such action, it was withdrawn. COMING TO THE POINT. Bishop Wayman then read question number two, asking if in the future the church would conform to the discipline of the African Metho. dist Episcopal Church. He then read that as one resulé of this council of Bishops, they had decided to remove Key. Jacob Mitchell as pas- tor of the church and replace him by some one capable —— The reading of this w: followed by loud shouts of “No.” “You can’t remove him.” ‘We are going to keep him.” “You can’t come any such game as that; we know our rights,” &e. Bishop Payne said they were free men and women, and could do asthey pleased. Brother L. A. Cornish moved that the Tesolutions be laid on the table; carried unani- mously. A brother wanted te know of Bishop Payne who said the church had declared itself ndependent, and Bishop P. replied, “common ik.” Exclamations of ‘That talk’s a lic.” hat’s tea-table talks, Brother Cornish, by request, read from the minutes proceedings of meetings held relative to the new site and thedeed. He then went on to make some re- ntimating that his church had been eated by the Bishops. Bishop Way- man here said, “Will Brother nish please tell me what hischurch wauts. For the lite of me I can’t see.” GOING POR BISHOP CAMPBELL. Brother Cornish replied that there was strong objection to having the man who had caused all the troubles preside over the diocese; he referred to Bishop Campbell. (Cries of ‘He's the man,” “Give us some one else; we don’t want Camp- bell any longer,” &c.) ‘Brother Stewart read from & printed pamphlet the remarks of Bishop Campbell at the Cumberland conference, re- Secting on Israel churc! He, for one, would sustain their pastor, Mr. Mitchell. [Gries of “Of course we will,” “Yon ain’t going to take him away from us, not much,” “We'll stick to Mitchell,” &c.)

A committee did that, did was to administer a very mild re- _ as he was directed todo. Here the Rev. | : “Yes, and while you were | talking you had my removal in your hand. You said were going to send a young able-bodied man'in, my Reet who ‘could ht, and who | could control the congregation.” This state- ment produced quite a sensation. Bishop Way- man kept stamping with hie Cane and saying, “Weare getting all right; have patience, breth- ron and sisters; don’t you see we are Cm | right?” This generally provoked laughter, | once # voice said, “I think we are gottiog wrong, instead of right.” Bishop Oampbell | said he never would e told Mr. Lane to | cown and whip his congregation or they would whip him if he had known the use that would be made of his words. ‘‘Some men are perfect— | without blemish,” said be; at l am not. } am not perfect and make mistakes, and that mt Derisive laughter followed this con- yn. When he told Brother Lane to go aud whip Israel church he meant in reference to se- curing the deed of property, and RTTING IN THE *B." Remarks of » yes, we understand you; we | know ail about that,” &c. Some one asked | why the Bishop wanted to remove Mr. Mitchell, but Bishop Campbell said the subject was un- pleasant, and he proverred not to speak on that point. Brother Hall gave an account of the Cumberland conference, and said Bishop Campbell in reproving Mr. Mitchell said, “You are likea good father with bad children. He negiects to punish his children and ruins them, and itissowith you.” A small-sized row then took place between Brothers Keed and Hicks relative to their respective parts in the Cum- berland conference, and after a good deal of disorder the questiors of the Bishops were re- ferred toa committee of five te be appointed hereafter by the congregation. Brother Mitch: ell then made a few remarks protesting against the action of the Bisnops, after which the mtet- ing adjourned in confusion. “UNITED AMBRICAN MECHANICS.””—A meet- ing was held at Clark’s Hall last night of per- sons favorable to allying themselves with the organization known as t Jnited American Mechanics.’ There were about twenty persons Present, and before the meeting was called to order —— ‘ion, some half dozen in number, entered the bearing the charter of a some- what similar organization whicn existed here in the old ‘* Know Nothing” times, and which charter they claimed should bar any effort to start @ new council. Mr. W. F. Hawes, of Baltimore, deputy to the national council, ad- dressed them, and after a full explanation of the aims and purposes of the Uni! American Mechanics advised them to surrender their old charter and make fe eueg for a new one. The objects, he stated to be, to assist each other n obtaining employment; encourage each other in business; establish a sick and funeral fand; fund for the relief of widows and orphans of de- members, &c., &c. After an informal discussion, Mr. Thomas B. Marche was called upon to preside with Mr. John R. Mahorny as secretary. A number present signed the appli- cation for a new charter, and after the appoint- ment of sundry committees the meeting ad- Journed to meet at the call of the chair for the purpose of organizing.
