After the distribution of prizs, President Wolf made s closing speech, fa which he re- e which bal been heaped he Verein bs the teraperance people. | i that the Verein was cha eress, OWnINE property valued . dannually paying $0 In taxes: that tf bas over #4) members, among the best ¢ zens of the Di et. They had tried th rpark an attractive r iter elements. If their wishes were not always realiz.d it was the fault of those who take advantage of the opportunity, and they have been beld responsible for those citizens who at other times and places seem to be virtuons and sober, but who in the Sebnetzen park throw ‘off the'r white robes and flaunt through the shady mazes erm-in-arm with their fallen Christian sisters. So notorious has this become that the Verein, fn self-de- fence, will hereafter publish the name of every respectable person thus offending, for they have no desire or ambition to be used as ameans for vice or immorality. Tuey boldly assert that the Verein has dove more for beri tanne men of real, intelligent and natural temperance than ali the banded or- ganizations in this ¢ ty. Their arch, erected as a thing of beauty, had given incentive to the most upjust and indecent language; the President of the United States and the Dis- trict Commissioners kad been roundly abused on their account, and the president of the Verein, the Verein and their wives and a compared with the lowest and vilest. He said this narrow and bigoted view of the social and educational problems that underlie a republican form of government are, however, part and lot of that christianity which. as in Brother Moody, is wa'ting for @ divine message before concluding to come to Washington, which, as in Pittsburg during the bloody riots, in- stead counselling peace and order, denounced all and claimed es the causeof the strike the non-attendance at church. And this is again called Christian Lemperance t What a mockery and shame! It is this class of men and women who xaaisy Canepbome; who drag down from its high estate pure aud undefiled religion; whe besmirch the God- dess of Liberty with their unbridled license, ard who, instead of making themselves beloved, respected and venerated, cause Jeers aud ribald jests at every street corner. In conclusion Mr. Wolf said:—“And now, finally, one word of friendly answer to our evening luminary, the bright and scintil- lating Stak, which took occasion, yester- day, to read us agentle homily on christian propriety, or rather the merit thereof; which asks us “not to flaunt the red rag, thinks that the lighting of the arch @ay was an insult, kc. Indeed this is sin- gular language, and, coming from the e1a- cation of a free people, must give us ease. We might ask is this a ch: jan country, ? Is there a ay, for which and on which cer- tain observances are decreed by w, the non-observers being subject to punishment? We dorot desire to branch ont, hovever, but simply say that we have as much rigit fo light up an arch which reflects nothing but social education, as others have to crowd on the streets and pavements and veud their wares aud patent soul-medicines. We cele. brate our Sunday in cur own way, and the others in theirs—both are American citizens and hoth are to be severely lef alone. The only difference is that oar arch could not give offence to decency or mora’. ity, while the vituperation§ of the others did both. The STAR knows that the late strikes bad their origin and their cause and reasons far different than those given by the press, end so we say that pandering to the parrow church doctrines, and the growing power thereof, will cause, sooner or jater, a mental strike that will dethrone want and give su- premacy to it intelligence and culture Which is truly American because it is cos- mopolitan. e do bot wage war on Chris- tianity or Christians; we have the highest re- spect and esteem for the many wise men and women who truly and conscientiously have faith, and work therein. They are not found bandying words on the street corners, nor are they aliens to that refinement which has Ro rationality, but_which is shared by oue and all.” Howard University and the Colored Public hooks der date of July 9th, 1 Messrs. Fred- erick Douglass, Thomas L. Tullock und John F. Cook, as representatives of the | beard of trustees of Howard university, t itted to the District Commissioners a Proposition “that a certain number of the most intelligent and most deserving colorel youth in the public schools in the District sball be admitted to Howard university and receive & collegiate education free of charge to Us es or otherwise, as you may di termir that they lieve some such arrangement as this will be highly beneficial both to the colored schools and to the university. It will act as a prize aud stimulate exertion ou the part of the Pupils, and increase the number of the class udents for whose benefit Howard uni- ty was mainly established. Rather not have some such an arrangemeut ted, though the university is pressed for the trustees will furnish to @ small nurmber of such students free tuition.” The District Commissioners haying some coubts as to their authority to accept of such & proposition referred the Communication to their attorney for an epinion. Under date of July Sist Mr. Birney returned the proposi- tion to the Commissioners, with @ writiea a which he states that “the adop- ton of the Brest proposal would necessitate one of two measures: 1.

CaAMp NEAR GAITHERSEURG, MONT- GomERY COUNTY, Mp., August 7, 1877.-The meeting at this crove, which is situated on the Point of Rocks branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, about 22% miles from Washington, commences to morrow. For the past week the committee have been basy putting up tents, and at this writing have erected about ninety. The camp this year Will be somewhat larger than last year. Dur- ing the year the association have made SEVERAL CHANGES, among them tearing down that architectural abortion called the‘stand”, and erecting in its place a large tabernacle capable of hoid- ing about six hundred people, at one end of which is a raised platform for the ministers. This tabernacle will hold all who attend the weekly meetings, and if they are not bevier attended than last year wili be too large, but it remains to be seen how it will answer oa Sundays when a large congregation gen- erally ascembles. It is true that seats will be in the circle outside of the tabernacle, but the massive posts will be in the way of many who not orly want to hear but see. I don’t know who the architect is, but I think it must be the same that planned that “stand” last year. The committee have also torn cown the large dining booth that was uscd last year by Wash. B. W mos in storing his furniture, so thal to one accustomed to attend the camp the east side has now a rather bare appearance. The lumber of this building bas been utilized to a great extent in building the tabernacle. 1 new collages ear, but no additional ones e been buil At this writic correct list THOSE WHO ARE TO OCCUPY TENTS, and the following list will be revised ¢ ad corrected from time to Um: plaza are the cottages of Mr. it (who has been camp: bo pund since last Week with his fami Mr. T.

There is a marked improvement in the bakerc stand this year. The old stand is deserted, and a fine two-story frame build- ing has been erected by the Messrs. Garrett, who have bought the privilege for the next len years irom the Camp Meeting associa- tion. The lower story is occupied as a store, while the second floor is used as an ice cream | and cake room. Here everything is fur- nished at city prices. Just above where the | old dining saloon was that was torn down, | Wash 8. Williams has three large tente, | Well-stored with furniture of all kinds. t= | able for tenters, and as he puts it i ad lakes it out of the tents, a great deal of labor is saved to the tenter. where in years gone by he would work bimself out building banks, this is al! avoide! now by beds ads and mat- tresses being hired on the grounds at a mere rominal figure.
