Brown, on ith street. Mr. Brown Presided, with the late treasurer, B. F. Pack- ard, as secretary. The chair stated that the meeting had not been called to trangact school business, but to consult upon the action of the District ‘Commissioners in revoking the pointments of the boerd, and not successors. He thought the sioners were not aware that the county sch trustees are & corporate body, owning a large amount of real estate in trust, and that they cannot be snperseded without successors are appointed. It was proper to indicate to the Commissicners the sense of disrespect wh the ex-trustees feel on the revoking of all their commissions without previous consultation with them, or any reason assigned therefor. iH. sub- mitted a preampbie and resolutions as to the law Of Congress; the implied censure cast upon the late trustees by not retaining a single member in the new organization; their right to know the reasons for their unconsciousness of having been faithless to their trusts; assert. ing that they have exercised the most rigid economy in the management of the schools; ns- serting the approval of the citizens of the coun- ty at their course in reducing the school debt reviously created in building new schoc uses, Ke. The resolutions were adopted Unanimously, and a copy, together with the acts of Congress under whica they derive their powers and authority, was ordered to be trans- itted to the District Commissioners. pecorino eat I under the Etortxe Vin 4 Lovers MAnRigp in tas City—On y mording last a young and loving couple took passage on the northern bound trainof the R.

The resolutions have & preamble which recites that in certain of the regulations it is believed the board has exceeded its authority, and “impesed upon physicians | duties and requirements which ought not to be fulfilled,” and has, through its secretary and | registrar, exceeded the scope of its own pub- | lished regulations, in that it has threatened to | withhold a “burial permit” for the interment of the bodies of persons aitended during their last sickness by any physician who may have failed sed to comply with regulation eighth, standing the cert ficate of death may have been made, signed, and delivered by such attending physician, according to the form pre- eeribe by regulation fou: th. | ‘The :esoiutions declare that to comply with the regulations relative to reporting births would coxpel the medical attendant to make a ablic record vi the history of every new-born infant; to expose the hereditary and congenital diseases and deformities of unfortanates, many of which are remedial; to inquire into and re- cord the vices and crimes of illegitimacy; to | publish the secret physical history of every faunily; to expose to public exammation infor- mation which he derives from his conthiential relations to bis patient; to make him the chan- nel through which calumny or revenge could be propagated, recorded and promulgated, by compe!ling him to furnish the name of any man whom the mother of an infant bern out of wed- lock might cloore or be subsidized to declare was the father of her iliegitimate child; to de- grade a child throvgh life with the record of an infamous birth; and, finally, to expose to ca- lumny and slander virtuous parents whose first ebild might be born previous to the completion of the ninth month of their married life, since, by regulation “second,” “each marriage emony folemnized” must be recorded in the same cffice “within 48 hours thereafter.” That the regulation making it the duty of every physician, accoucheur, midwite, under- taker, sexton, or superintendont of aay ceme- tery, or other person having charge of thesame, PI ing medicine or doing business within the District of Columbia, to register his or her name in a book or books at the office of the board seems to recognize the right of any per- fon who may choose to register as a physician, accoucheur, or midwife to practice medicine in this District, and is, therefore, a violation of the laws of Congress incorporating the Medical Soctety of the District of Columbia, and the Washington Homeopathic Society, «besides be- ing wrong in spirit, degreding to the profes- sion, injurious to the well-being of society, and contrary to the teachings accepted by all intel. ligent people, that none bat persons specially educated therefor shall be allowed to practice the science of medicine, or are competent to make @ proper mortuary report.” That the profession cheerfully accept the law in all its pro) and le, requirements, and will unite with the Board of Health in every reasonable and practical effort “to secure a fall anid cor- rect record of vital statistics, including the registration of deaths and the interment of the dead,” and to that end they hereby pleige themselves to report to the registrar of said board the birth of every child at which they | “attend, advise, or aaeist,” giving all useful and proper {ntormation concerning the same, but in no case furnishing the names of the pa- rents or the physical condition of the infant.

Cnder the recent order ot the District Com- missioners for @ new assessment embracing church property and exempting “that used for charitable and educational purposes,” much interest seems to he felt by the public as to ex- tly what property will be exempted under the race quoted trom the act ef Congress of June 20, 1874. It is understood to be the opinion of Assistant Attorney Birney that the exemption takes place only in cases where the owner uses the Property for educational or charitable pur- poses; that the legislative intent is to relieve the owner from the burden of tax on such real estate» isdevoted by him to reguiar use fi education or charity. The school or hospital is taken al of the tax as his contribution to the public. That to entitle the property to exemption it must be devoted by the owner himself to the rposes named, and be used specifically for thore purposes; that the owner cannot escape the tax by renting his property for hospital or school purposes, nor by claiming an intention to devote its rental to the support of education or chariry, nor by using a part of it for those purposes while the main portion of itis devoted to other par The income fom # store elsimed to be devoted to the sap- } 0: tof # professor of en university is not exem ‘The owner of a hotel claiming that the incom is used for th ortof @ hospital; such hotel is uot exempt for the reason that the govern- ment hes uo means of controlling the disposition of euch rental or income, and all that can be done under the law is to exempt the hospital. building owned by one person who rents it to another tor school purposes cannot be exempt, as for the owner’s uses it is for the purposes of revenue. ‘Lhe owner of a buildmg who keeps & schoo! in it, and occupies a portion a3 a dwe! ing, must pay taxes on the latter portion, though the former portion is exempt. A church association or an individual owning Lene ses chiefly used for dwellings and stores, ut @ smsll portion of which is used for a rega- larly kept school, the exemption applies only to so much &s is used for the latter purpose; but building used exclusively as a school, even if it be kept for profit, is exempt, as an educational institution. A hospital kept for profit is not exempt, as it is not a charits,but one mainly charitable w exempt, although a small contribution may be required from each inmate. Sanday echools are classed with religious inatitations, and they exempt no property frem tax. Curtilages of colleges are exempt, even where they contain refectory, dormitories, professors’ houses, and chapel, but separate lots of vacant land belonging to col- leges not used specially for education are not exempt, neither is a store on college premises. Cemetery associations selling lots for profit are not exempt; but if such associations are ex- clusively @ charity, making no sales and no char, & vaults and monuments, are held to be taxable and must be ascessed. Mass Meetine or Worktnomen To-pay.— A vumber of workingmen assembled in mass meeting in Barbour’s hall this morning and re- solved :— That a committee of six be appointed to wait upon the chairman of the District Com- mission and request him to name some day when he can pay the laborers who worked under the boara and the contractors of the same in the District of Columbia; that the committee be instructed to inform the Commissioners of the great want and misery prevailing among the unpaid laborers of the District; that we have learned with much alarm that the con tractors refuse to comply with the order of the Commissioners to send iu their rolls so that they may be paid at once; Congress, the country and the people of the District have no confidence im the words or faith of contractors; that the committee urge upon the Commissioners the gteat necessity of averting starvation, and of paying us our wages at once; that e meeting do now adjourn until two o'clock, and the com- mittee be instructed to report at that hour at the Labor League hall.” The committee con- sists of Albert Bunn, (chairman,) Benjamin Hammock, John Blake, Rich’d Burkley, Chas.

THE SECOND SANBATH. | I Special correspondence of The Star.] Wasninatox Grove, MoxTco! £0. Monday morning, August I7th, Saturday was one of the quiet days usu S season of bustie and activity. er was everything that could be de. sired. The religious interest wasfully sustained, and ail the devotional meetings were well at- tended, showing no ent of zeal. SATURDAY'S SERVICES. At balf-past ten o’clock s. m. Kev. Dr. Ames, | of Frederick City, occupied the puipit, and preached trom the 4th verse of the 5tu ebapter of Epbesians. Dr. Ames is one of the able men of the denomination, and his sermon commanded great attention, from its clear logical reasoning and earnest appeal to the unconverted. At three o'clock p: m. Rev. Sir. Hedges, of Annapolis, delivered an excellent discourse from the ith verse of the 18th chapter of Mat- thew. He is one of the workers here. and is | always ready to take part in the exercises in whatever manner may be necessary. He is here with a large number of his charge, and their } appearance is like that of a large and happy family. j Between the afternoon sermon and that de- | livered in the evening, the train arrived from Washington, and we began to see what was coming on Sunday, for there was a large crowd on it, and every camper who had a spare “lying | down place” foand use for it, while every mat- tress at the big sleeping tent was occupied by tired and sleepy pilgrims. Rev. Mr. Mytinger delivered the evening ser- mon from the text ‘I pray thee, have me ex- cused.’ He is well known in the conference as & very earnest, practical preacher, and his ser- mon on Saturday evening was fully up to his former efforts, while the congregation was much larger than that at any other service daring the day. A large number came forward for prayers and several expressed a hope in Christ. The exercises were kept uptiil nearly eleven o'clock, and the colored people were deprived of their usual glorification mesting, for as soon as the benediction was provounced the bel! struck, drowning out the hymn which they had just commenced. A WHISKY SEIZURE. About the close of the sermon, word cam: to the office that tun was brewing somewhere, and some of the cops” putout to see what they could see. About half way from the camp to the depot, out from the thoroughfare @ little way in the underbrush, they discovered some- thing that smelt like a bar-room, and, captur- ing it, took it up to headquarters, and found it to be quite a quantity of genuine “bug juice” of the killing kind. It was in care of a colored man, but as they had no evidence of any sale, they allowed him to “escape,” aud congrata- lated themselves that they had plucked the blossom before it had come to fruit in the shape of disorder on the Sabbath. SARBATH MORNING. A glorious, clear, bright sunlight Sabbath morning, and with itcamea multitude. Three trains, of Fix cars each, as promised by Major Koentz, arrived within fitteen minutes of each other, ail laden with human freight; while from up down the country came the gallant beaus and gaily dresecd lasses in hundreds, fill- ing the large circle with a mass of human beings and lunch baskets. OUT ON A Port. While a large crowd at the depot were in waiting for the up train, some heedless young men got a ball and started off a Hvely game on the south side of the track. Messrs. Willett and Mitchell assumed the role of umpires with @ blue ribbon as a uniform, and put them all out on a@ foul before the first inning was scored. Nothing like promptnees in such matters. THE SANBATH SERVICES. ‘The regular Sunday School lesson was taken up at the stand at half: past seven o’clock in the morring, and a large Sunday school was held until time for other services. Rev. B. P. Brown by appointment ocenpied the pulpit at ten o’clock, and previous to the zermon a collection was taken up under the superintendence of the presiding elder, who said, “There fs no use wasting words about this matter, we want the mones, you have got it, now let us have it, that’s the best way.” Mr. Brown took his text from the 35th chapter of Genesis, 15 verses. The sermon was a good one, and gave the most direct blows to sin and sinners yet given. Daucing, intemperance, gambling and Sabbath-breaking got a sledge, hammer pounding without mincirg of words, and the heads of families were warned of the consequences of allowing their children to indulge in any such follies, and particalariy were they cautioned to set no examples in such directions. The sermon will do much good. At three o'clock p. m. Rev. H. A. Cleayeland commenced a sermon which occupied nearly two hours in the delivery. It was from the worda found in the 15th chapter of Luke and Ivth verse. It was a splendid effort, worthy of the reputation which he has already earned of being one of the most eloquent and brilliant clergymen in the Methodist church. His fams has already been established at the Foundry in ‘Washington, and his host of triends will have no occasion to fear any damage to his reputa- tion from the etfort to-day. The presiding elder, Rev. W. F. Speake, preached at night for the first time since he hag en out here, although he has been on the stand at every meeting aud taken moro or leas part in sll "he exercises. He selected as his text the words found in tue Isth verse of the 35ch chapter of Proverbs, and bis sermon was very attentively listened ‘to, being earnest ani im pressive. “The ugual seacou of prayer foliowed anda large number of penitents came forward to the altar, more than at any previous meting, and quite a number were converted; the tota! number of conversions now reaching about seventy. It was not till after eleven o'clock p. m. that the camp became quiet. Besides the preaching daring the day, other religious meotiugs were held in various portions of the grounds, the Y. M. C. A. taking charge of several. At two o'clock p. m. they held a very large one by the wayside on th2 road at the edge of the camp. AN IMPROVISED BAR-ROOM AWD TWO ARRESTS. While Mr. Cleaveland was peceg 3 at the stand a meeting of a very different kind was | going on in the office tent near by. From in- formation received the police became convinced that liquor was being sold somewhere ou the grounds, and they went forit. In a thick, bushy retreat between the two springs they came on & complete sot-out for a bar. A champagne basket which answered for a trunk, contained a cash box, glusses, tools for mixing drinks and other paraphernalia of a bar-room while on the ound, “‘bancy incase of sickness,’ were six demijobns of different sizes filled with tiquor. Two men were in charge, who proved to be Jobn Clark, a county constable of Washington, and T. Smith. Both gave aliases, but they were known to many — the grounds and were casily identified: lark begged the officers not to take bim up to camp, and laid down upon the ground and seized hold of a sapling | to anchor himself, but it was no ues. | Both were brought up to camp with all their toolsand stock, and Henry Harris, a magistrate, was hastily summoned, and the men atraigued. Witnesses swore to sseing the bar in operation, and parties drinking and paying for liquor, and after (he evidense the magistrate committed them to the Kockville Jail. Sheriff Edward H. Waters took them in charge and gave them an opportunity to furn- ish bail, but they refused todo it. Clark said he was going to jail; he would not take 820,090 tor hischances; he ‘would sue for damages for false imprisonment; he had been arrested and dragged through the camp by parties having | no authority, and he would show them what he could do and so forth. After he had refused to furnish bail handcutis were put on him, and he was linked to his companion. Then five m'n- | utes were spent in trying to coax the Sheritf to remove the irons and not disgrace him by marching him through c&mp in that manner, and several! of his friends who were around joined in the entreaty; but asa very large crowd were outside of the tents, and it would be an easy matter to bustle and shove the officers and release the prisoners, the appeal wns not re. sponded to. Clark was armed with » pistol, which was taken from him when arrested. The officers finally started for Rockville with the two men, and whether they concluded to give bail or not when reaching there, is not known. Clark told your correspondent that a party of about fifteen of them came up here to have a good time, and the liquor found was brought for eir own purposes, and was not to be sold, and then said be only soid one bottle toa young man who said he wanted it for asick lady up to cam: He will be tried upon three complaints, vi A violation of the license law; for selling liquor on the Sabbath, and for a violation of pe- cial camp-meeting law, which forbids the sale of liquor within two miles of any — while in progress.

Noonan and Sergeant Redway, of the % Precinct, brought to police headquarters @ wagon load of articles supposed to have been stolen, which they recovered from the house of Joseph Jones Alexander Williams, who ara In jail to answer the cha: ge of arson in setting fire to the premises of Mr. Myers, on Sth street, on Friday night last. These articles consist of shovels, picks, spades, axes, drills, harness, ca’ pets, clothing, jars, bottles of liquor, &e., already many of them have been recogniz that Jones and Williams were connected with the areon of Mr. Blitz's house, on 6th s'reet, between S and T streets, in January last; Her hert’s house on corner of 6th and S_ streets; Mrs. Lees, corner of 12th and T stree's, soms eighteen months since, and the stable of M Myers, on "Sth street in the county, last week.

Officer Heftner testified that he arrested Wils* liame on Saturday morning about 4 o'clock, on O, between 6th and 7th sts., with a basket and bag containing bacon. Lieu‘enaut Noonan testified that the clothing was found inJ«nes’ house. On cross-examination Lieutenant N. said that Jones stated that Wil- liams had a room in the bouse. For defense, Jane Jones, mother of the pris- oner, testified that Williams had a room in the honse, (the back room,) in which the goods were found. Jones was hurt by a fall on Thars- day, and was home all night Friday night. ‘The Court suggested that this was not the tribunal in which to try the cases, and he would have to hold them for trial in the Orim- inal Comt. They were arraigned on the charge of a simi- lar offence at the residence of Mathew Myers, on the 7th-street road,on Friday night last, when his stable was barned, and they plead not guilty.
