He calls the attention of the Commits- sioners to the necessity of @ reformatory institution of some kind, under the direct contro! of the District government, where these women can be sent and cared for, aud where their time and labor can be utilized both to the benefit of themselves and the state, and reformat influences thrown around them. To do » Mr. Lubey says, ‘would require a separate and distinct butid- ing, and he recommends one in the - sion of the government, known as the George town élmshouse. Five thousand dollars ex- pended in repairs and furniture, he says, Would make it suitabie for fifty persons, and ten thousand dollars would cover the entire expenses for the first year. In connection with the communication, Mr. Lubey trans- mits @draftof @ bill to carry out ihe plan Suggested, which, if it meets with the ap- proval of the Commissioners, he asks them to revise and transmit to recom- mending its passage.

A TESTIMONIAL To E It ts reported that at noon to-day # * irsti monial’ in the shape of a gold watch chain Was presenter on behalf of the school tea ere of the First district to Mr A. Hart, who lately “resigned” as School Trustee. It je also reported that Mr. Superiate:- dent W » made a sprecn at the presen- tetion, warrly eulozing the ecapacit., honesty, and other valuable qualities of Mr. Hart as a member of the scuoo! boar 1t is #leoreported that Mr Wilson was larze- ly instrumental in getting up this testimo: nial. His friends hope that these reports do him Injustice. To put the case very mildly, Mr. A, Hart is not the sort of person to be bel up before th» youth of the city as an ex- emplar; and why he should receive this ex- ceptional honor over the long line of la- borious, capable and honorable citizens who have served on the school board during the histery of our school system is unaccountable. We suppose the teachers bad no further share in the trans- action than signing the subseription paper when it was gees around, but it seems to us they should, as the mentors of the chil- dren in their charge have hesitated before giving that signature. The whole thing has & very unpleasant look. but we forbear far- ont comment until fully informed of the facts.

REVIVAL VIEWS— Brot/ Mvedy on Chu: Pairs, Women Preachers, Elc—A variety of questions e put to Mr. Moody at the church eonvention In New York by various Tgyinen, with reference to the most suc cessful methods of conducting a revival, and these were answered with great readiness. It was his opinion, that if the church was apathetic, the pastor should get a few of the brethren to pray with him as the first step. Three men were enough to move any town, ifonly God was with them. If the trastee: would notopen the church doors, he would pray for the trustees. Many churches im @ great mistake in electing men for trustees who were not religious men. If the miuister was apathetic, then the congregation should g00n without them. Converte1 drankards would labor most effectively among drunkards. So with cor verted infidels. In regard to children, great discretion should be used, as they were apt, if forward in evan- gelical work, to be spoiled by pride. More- over, be was In favor of asking persons at. revival meetings to rise for prayer. Every one had to bear his cross, and the first step towards converting any one was to get him to do something he did not want todo. As to whether women should be permitted to | abies in the pulpit, be said that was a con- roveried point. As for himself, he did not want bis wife to go about preaching. (This elicited @ laugh.) In reply toa question as to the advisability of ‘beginnin: u Work at a time of political excitement, Mr. Moody said that not one-half as much harm was ever done to revival movements by pol- ities as by those miserable church fairs.

THE FISHERMEN'’S WaR—The steamer Harbinger stopped at this city this morui on her way down the river, and was visi by Dumerous persons, who desired to see the marks of the conflict in which she was en- gaged on Wednesday.
