Building. | DEDICATION CEREMONIES YESTERDAY. Yesterday afternoon the new sehcol bulld- ing for colored children, at the intersection of I and ist streets southeast, which will be known by the name of the Ransall building, was dedicated with a priate exercis: ,° which took place in ball on the * ,id The building was described 10 yester STaR. There were tO” the tras. presen! (presidert.’ Gnamplin, "af, and many of the teachers and 1" and friends of the pu- pils of the dis! we ae re te were also ent. Mr. Henry Johnson led, and called the meeting to order, making some appro- priate remarks, referring to the progresa made during the past few years by the col- ored schools. Rev. W.J. Waiker offered a Pp = ‘der read a part of the 8th chapter M Superintendent G.F.T-Cook was tatro- duced, and, after ing to the models of schoo! buildings of the last and present cen- tury as showing the progress made, he said it was even more apparenton tue site of this building. Herea and incommodious seboo! house was occupied in 1566, and In ten short years it bad been found necessary to erect this magnificent building. He referred to the difficulties experienced ers in the early days of the color: d schools, and related how they had been overcome. a ecial reference was made to the labovs of jes Randall (after whom the bullding was named), who had charge of the schoo! from 1868 to 1874, and Iiteraliy died at her post. Mr. Cook, in concluding, said that credit should be given the District Commissioners for their co operation, and to tne sub-board of trustees for their zeal and energy. Mr. Joseph Williams, the contractor, then advanced, and referring to the committee spoke in high terms of the lavors of Mr. TOOKS, and handed him the keys. Mr. Brooks spoke of the fidelity of tha builder, whom he regarded asthe most cou: scientions and attentive mater builder he had ever met. Mr. Brooks procesded to give ® bistory of the building, going into minute details, and turned the building over to the rd of Trustees. Mr. W. W. Curtis accepted the building oa bebalf of the board, made @ speech, in which bé said the day has passed when buildings of this description were in danger from the incendiary on account of jealousy of the color of the students. Mr. Jobnson, in a few fitting remarks. re- ferred to the presence of Mr. Frederick Doug- lass, whom he introduced. r. Douglass remarked that he was present as @ spectator. and had been much edified by the remarks made. He had thought how much the world had been in- debted to religion and how much to krowl- edge. If the world had made any progress from rudeness to civill: sion to charity toward: to liberty, it had been Knowledge. It was knowledge that had set In motion the paddle wheels of all the steamers; it was by knowledge that all the world had been made into ® whisper gallery. At one time the world did not know that & man s convict'ons could not be changed by piucking ont his eyes and his tongue, and they tore out the hearts of some men because of theiropinions. Reason bad shown them that multitades of people of different opinions could live together in bar- mony. was a time, too, when the le of America thought that the negro and the white man could not live together in harmony; that the white man should pe kept up by keeping the black man down. “How slow was knowledge, and how patient was truth; truth was patient, and we waited, and by and by deliverance came.” Mr. Johnson thea declared that they dedi- cated thia building as the Randall school for the education of the colored youth of South Washington. The bencdiction was pronounced by Rev. James d, and the assembly was dis- missed. ——_e—____.

Gaskius’ character had been thoroughly investigated by a commit- te called for the purpose, and thal he was exoverated from all biame. Second. That after various meetings with reference to the ‘rouble in the Second Baptist Courch, the clowing, by advice of brethren of other eburches. was unanimousiy adopted: 1 S'nee there is evidently misunderstanding and disagreement as to former Proceedings, arc bo prospect of rerching amicable agiee- ment thereabouts, we do urgeatly recom mend tbat al! action with reference t> your presebt troubles be deciared null and void. 2.

Third. That a vote was then taken. resulting as follows: In the affirma- Uve, 68; in the itive, 116. Fourth.

Yer" erday, James Spencer and Sam Cole- Tan, two colored men, were brought into the Police Court, charged with ages and Indecent language. The witnesses did not appear, and the case was a until to~ day, defendants leaving collateral each, Coleman em, ir. » the colored lawyer, to him @ 5 fee. After the adjournment of the court, Rofin ‘usied bimself with Layee bagel Mr. ttorney for the District, a entered. Mr. Prince, that the case rant. but the defendants. and witnesses for the District, with ee ee made the arrest, were at court thi and the case was called. Previous to this Mr. Raffin bad importuned the marshal to return the collaterals to him as for defendants, stating that thecase dismissed. The marshal would not accommodate him, bat returned them to the defendants, who went off about their business. In the meantime the wifeof Coleman came led Ubis morning and had been explainc: to the Judge M. bedismissed it, aud Mrs. Coleman then spoke up telling bow Ruffin had dove her out of $3. Ruffiv, who also was present, tried to exp!a@in that although the case hai been dismissed he it his services had been wortb $5, and the woman had paid it to him. The Court atated that he had beer informed that he (Ruflin) was not a member of the bar, but w! he (the Court) came to occupy the bench he had found him in prac tice before it, and had concluded to say rothing until satisfied. This affair showed the worst kind of sbyster practice, apd the countel would not hereafter be allowed to practice before this court while he (Mills) was sitting as judge until he (Raf- fin) bed satisfied the court that he was enti- tled to do 80, and then the court would take euch further action as he thought proper. Roffin replied that he would very soo. pro- duce his papers, and stated that he thought after satisiying Judge Snell of his rigat, that it ought to be sufficient. The court re- marked that when sosatisfied he would aub- mit the matter to a committee of lawyers to see whether or not @ practitioner of this Kind was worthy to sit and practice within any bar of this District. Ruffin said that wes salisfaciory. Hebad been allowed to prac- tice before all the democratic courts of Vir- ginia, and he thought that was pretty good evidence of bis worthiness, as weil as bis legal knowledge. ——_e——— A Row IN SHILOH Baprisr CauRcH.— In the Police Court this morning, [salah Mitehbell, was arraigned on acharge of as- sault and battery on Richard A.

At the adjournment of the meeting defendant laid in wait at the church door with a ne stick{and knocked wituess down. Mitchell here made a statement say- ing that be was almost ashamed to have bis pame mentioned In the Police Court; he then went on to give his version. He said he be- came somewhat animated during the discus- sion, end complainant charged there that he was dronk. is led to the affray, as he did Bot care to be exposed in public in that way. He rose to @ privile; question, and they wonld pot hearhim. Whilehe was speaking, they all put him out forcibly. He did not Tesist but waited outside quietly for an ex- ph ion, and in his excitement he struck pn gn and didn’t know it until after- Wards, and when he found what was done he was sorry and went back to ask his pardon. The court said it was bad enough for profane ones to fight, but for christians to pummel each other at church doors was a higher offence. Mitchell was fined $20 and costs or thirty days in jail. ——e——— MIDNIGHT ASSAULT BY HIGHWAYMEN.
