Prof. Fatrlamb thought that four or five hundred singers could be procured from the various organizations in the District and an orchestra of one hundred could be organize. Many singers would come from Baltimore and other cities. As it was a Washington affair, regard should be paid to Washington mec !n the selection of the leader. Prof. Richter said if it was to be asmall local affair, it would cost about £25,000 for two or three days; the erection of a building Would be a@ great expense. Mr. Solomons suggestc4 that it hai been roposed to use the Northern Liberty Mar- et building. Mr. Ball spoke in favor of the project. There axe about fifty choirs in the city, each of which could furnish ten singers. Col. Walker said the Novthern Market Company tendered the use of their building on the occasion of their festival and the ball on the ith of March, if the people weuld a:- sume the expense of putting in a floor. If the finance committee could obtain guaran- subscriptions enough to make if a cer- tainty, there was no reason why they shoul! not have a festival to rival the ones held in Cincinnati, Boston, and other cities. The subject was further discussed, but no definite action taken. Baltimore Charen. This conference was called to order in Georgetown this morning at 9 o'clock by Bishop Campbell, and the exercises were commenced by the reading of the 73d Psalm by Rev. Jas. H.A.Jobnson. The roll was then called and the minutes of the last meet- ing read by the secretary. Rev. Mr. Herbert Suggested some corrections to the minutes, ‘and moved that the sentence in which Rev. Mr. Hardy said “that he had a right to ad- chess any Sunday school without the ap- proval of the pastor” be stricken out. After some discussion it was decided that the sen- tence was caiculated tomisiead and perhaps Jead to “disorder in Israel,” and the motion ‘was adopted. Rev. James T. Morris rose to a personal €xplaration in reference to the appropria- ton of some money by a committee. He said be “ringism” was dead in that conference. He believed it was. Theconfer- ence had killed it, the bishop had shrouded it, and now he did not p to exhume it from the grave, where he hoped it was bu- ried beyond the possibility of a fature resur- rection. Rev. Wm. H. Hunter, A. M., business manager of the publishing department of the church, then took the floor and made Some remarks upon that branch of the work. To-morrow, at 12 o'clock m., the Rev. James H. A. Johnson, of Cumberland, will deliver @ special sermon on “An Efficient Ministry and Church,” at the Ebenezer ebureb. Bishop Campbell preaches at the same place on Sunday. The conference adjourned to witness the ubveiling of the Lincoln statue. Sages THE SPRING WEATHER is fairly npon us, and itsdemands in the matter of clothing are already being appreciated.

When, therefore, it shall be asked what we bave to do with the memory of Abrabam Lincoin or what Abrabam Lia- coln bad todo with us? The answer eats: ae fall and complete. Though he less than Rome, responding to ncoln, and with muskets on their should- ers and sles on their buttons, timing their bigh footsteps to liberty and union ul the national flag; under his rule we saw the in- ————= ~ payee of Hayti, the special object of slaveholding aver- sion snd horror full: nized, and her minister, a col geutieman, daly received here in the city of Washington; under his rule we saw the internal siave trade which so long diegraced the nation abolished, and slavery abolished in the Disuict of Columbia; under his rale we saw for the first time the law enforced against the foreign slave trade, and the first slave trader hanged like any other pirate or murderer; under bis rule and his inspiration we ssw the Confeierate States, based upon the ijea that our race must be slaves and slaves forever, battered to pieces and scattered to the four winds; uncer his rule aad in the fullness of time, we saw Abraham Lincoln, after giving the slave holders three months of grace, in which to save their hatefal siave sys- tem, penning the immortal paper, whic though special in its laqguage. was gea- eral in its principles and effect, mak- ing slavery forever impossible in the United States. Though we waited long we saw ail tbis and more. Can avy colored man, or any white man friendly to the freedom of all men, ever for- get theright which followed the first day of January, 163? When the world was to see if Abraha.n Lincoln would prove to be as good as his word? I shall never forget that memorable night, when in adistant city I waited end watched at @ public meeting, with three thousand others not less anxious than myself, for the word of deliverance whieh we have heard read to-day. Nor shali I ever forget the outburst of joy and thankegiving that rent the air when the ligbtring brought to us the emancipa- tion. In that happy hour we forgot all de- lay, and forgot all tardiness, forgot that the President had bribed the rebels to lay down their arms by & promise to withhold the bolt which would smite the slave-system with destruction; &oud we were thenceforward willing toallow the President all the lati- tude of as ey. and every honor- aole device that statesmanship might re- quire for the achievement of @ giest and beneficent measure of liberty and progress. Fellow-citizens, there is little necessit; on this occasion to speak at length and criti- cally of this great and good man, and of his high mission in the world. That ground has been fully —— and completely covered both here and elsewhere. The whole field of fact and fancy has been gleaned and gar- nered. Any man can say things that are true of Abraham Lincoln, but no man can say anything new of Abraham Lincoln. His personal traits and public acts are better known to the American people than are those of any other man of his age. He was & mystery to no man who saw him and heard him. Though at in position, the humblest could approach him and feel at bome in his presence. Though deep, he was transparent; though strong, he was gentle; though decided and pronounced in his con- victions, he was tolerant towards those who differed from him, and patient under re- proaches. Even those whoonly knew him through his public utterances obtained a tol- erably clear idea of bis character and his personality. The image of the man went out With his words, and those whoread him knew him. | have said that President Lincola was @ white man, and shared the prejudices com- mon to his countrymen towards the colored race. Looking back to his times and to the condition of the country, this unfriendly feeling on his part may be safely set down as one element of his wonder. ful success in organizing the loyal Ameri- can people for the tremendons conflict | before them, and bringing them safely through that conflict. His great mission Was to accomplish two things; first, to save bis country from dismemberment and ruin, 8-4 second, to iree his country from the gieat crime of slavery. To do one or the Q.ter, Or boih, he must have the earnest Ssmpatby and the powerfal co opeiation of his loyal fellow countrymen. Wthont this primary and eseential condition to success, bis efforts must have been vain and utterly fruitiess. Had he put the abolition of slavery before the salvation of the Union, he would bave inevitably driven from him a powerful class of the American people and rendered resistance to rebellion impossible. Viewed from the genuine abolition groand, Mr. Lin- coln seemed tardy, cold, dull and indifferent; but measuring him by the sentime.t of his country, @ sentiment he was bound as a Statesman to consult, he was swift, zealous, radical and determined. Though Mr. Lin- coln shared the prejudices of his white fel- low-countrymen against the negro, itis hard. ly necessary to say that in his heart of hearts be loathed and hated slavery. He was willing while the south was loyal that It shonid have its pound of flesh, use he thought it was so neminated in the bond, but farther than this no earthly power could make him go. Fellow-citizens, whatever else in this world may be partial, unjust and uncer- tain, fime’ time’ is ——_, just and cer- tain in its action. In the realm of mind, as Well as in the realm of matter, it is a great worker, and often works wonders. The hon- est and oT statesman, clearly discerning U needs of his country, and earnestly Caen to do his whole duty, though covered bilstered with re proaches, may safely leave 41s course to the silent judgment of time. Few great public men have ever been cae victims of fiercer denunciation than Abraham Lincoln was during his administration. He was often Wounded in the house of bis friends. Re- proaches came thick and fast uy) him from Within and from without, and from opposite quarters. He was assailed by abolitionists; he was assailed by slave-holders; he was as- sailed by the men who were for peace atany Price; he was assailed by those who were for @ more vigorous tion of the war; he Was assailed for not making the war ao abolition war; and he was most bitterly as. sailed for Lens d the war an abolition war. But now behold the change; the = of the present hour is, that taking bilm for all in all, measuring the tremendous magnitude of the work before him, considering the ne- cessary means to ends, and surveying the end from the beginning, influite wisdom has Seldom sent any man into the world better Gtted for his mission than was Abraham Livcoln. His birth, bis training aad bis nat- ural endowments, both mental énd physical, were —o7 in bis favor. Bora and reared among the lowly, a stranger to wealth and luxury, compelled to grapple single-handed, with the filntiest hardships, from tender youth to sturdy maphood, he grew strong in the manly and beroic qualities demand by the great mission to which he was called by the votes of his countrymen. The hard con- dition of his early life, which would have depressed and broken down weaker men, we greater life, vigor and buoyancy ent work. young men dreaded tu the shape of toll, he took hold of with the utmost cheerfulness. ight load Le could nn) cou! by theunesrtain Hille i i rs gE Por ge Ee Ap! i $ i x. z it bad national di | Mary McClellan, alias Mary M: Happily for the country, happtly for you and pope as Judgment or ‘ames Backan- an, the patrician, was not the jadgmeut of Abrabam Lincoin, the plebeian.

A very successful open-air meeting was held this morning at the corner of 45 str and the avenue. Mr. Hammond and others = addresses, which were attentively lis- tened to. Rev. Dr. Sunderland's ehurch was also Well filled, and @n unusual ammount of rell- | gious fervor was shown by all present. Rey. Dr. Sunderland spoke eloquently on the deep feeling of patriotism displayed to.day by thousands who were meeting to honor the memory of their martyred President. We had even a brighter memory to cherish —the memory of One who died for fallen humen- ity, and who bad redeemed the most igno- iantand degraded. Many interesting exy riecces were also given, and a very profitable time was spent by all present. del oy) ahinaasihd AMUSEMENTS— National Theater.—Mr.Sotb- ern appeared last night as ‘‘David Garrick,” for the first time during his engagement here and attracted a large audience, who were well pleased.

Church in Brooklyn, on Wednesday, Mr. Wm. Buckley, chairman of the committee on the book concern and re- ligious publications, criticised with some severity the management of the Christian Advocate and Journal by Rev. Dr. Curry. The treatment of men and measures by the latter, it was alleged, had a tendency to di minish the usefulness of the r. Dr. Curry, with some agitation, denici that he had attacked body or anything. Mr. an Buckley reiterated. his accusation, and «de- clared that it was absurd for Dr. Curry to deny that be had not attacked men rightand left. He particularly instanced the case of Rev. Dr. Lanahan, whom he (Dr. C.) had in- timated was insane; also attacking him in such @ manner as to cause his poor old mo- ther to think it would ruin him forever. If he (Buckley) were in the editor’s place he would sink dead in his chair before he would get up there and cry for quarter after all he bad said. (Cries of “Shame.” and hisses.) Mr. Buckley continued, amid considerable confusion. “if I were in his y thought I was not able to stand it, I would go and takea dose of quinine and nerve my- self =p toit. | Hisses and cries of “Shame!” I would die in my seat.” (Great confusion.

TWEEDLE-DUM AND TWEEDLE-DEE.— The story ees in one of the morning papers to the effect that an Italian named Je Costa, formerly a waiter at Delmonico’s, had fallen in with “Boss” Tweed in March last on board a steamer running between Genoa and orn, is received with general incredulity. People who best know what sort of a man the “Boss” is, smile at the inti- mation that he could be so communicative under euy circumstances. Besides, there are some of bis old friends here who ridicale the idea that he is in Italy at all, aod the reasons they assign for their disbelief are such as to covfirm the conviction some time sin’ © express’ 1, that so far from roaming in foreign lands, Mr. Tweed at this moment is spugly housed on Manhattan Island, and is oan reader of the daily papers.—([. ¥. ler. «7-Cardinal McCloskey, who has be2n ii! for some time, is reported as improving. ®7-Henry L.
