At Jackson Grove, 25 miles from Washington, on the Baltimofe and Potomac Railroad, there is much activity displayed under the committee in charge of the preparations for the camp meet- ing, which will commence on the 28th inst., and continue for about two weeks. This grove is situated at Severn oreek, and there is no finer supply of water to be found. For over half acen- ury Camp meetings haye been held here by the | Methodist Episcopal church. The circuit, which now occupies a ground not over twelve miles square—in former days extended to the limits of Baltimore city on the north and to Bladensburg on the south—a territory of about 40 miles by 25 in extent. IN THE RLY DAYS of Jackson Grove camp churcies as well as school houses were few and far between, some | haif dozen churches occupying the entire ground. There are now on thisterritory probably twenty- | five churches—Methodist Episcopal, Methodist | Episcopal south and Methodist Protestant. The last named denomination has the control of the ground, an association of that chureh, formed | urpore, having purchased it within a | ars past. Since the grounds have fallen | | into their hands considerable has been done to- | wards their improvement, and it will not be | many years before it will be the eamp-zround of | that” Section, each successive cainp having in- | creased in siz TH W TABERNACLE. Last winter the heavy fall of snow was too muigh for the tabernacle, and it broke it in, mak- | inz it necessary to erect anew one. This is some- | what larger t the former one. The site was changed, and at the same time the circle or plaza, formerly a square, was laid out in the shape of a | parallelogram large enough to accommodate forty-eight tents on the front. All the sites on the front have been taken. Most of these tents _are in place, and others are being erected on the avenues, which will swell the number to about | eighty. Leaving the station at the railroad, where the , company have erected a platform, a walk of about one hundred and fifty or two hundred yards brings one, through an ayenue, to the head of the grounds. Opposite is the tabernacle, cruci- form in shape with the pulpit or platform at its | head. From the corners of the plaza avenues are laid out, as also from the sides. On that | leading to the springs are the boarding-house, | lodging tents, office, and store. Thére are sev- | eral families already | ON THE GROUND, | among them those of Rey. J. D. Kinzer, of Bal- timore, and Rey. W. J. Floyd, of Brooklyn. Messrs. Warren and Emery, of Baltimore, and others are expected to come out this week. | Although this camps under the management of | the Metho ant church (the religious meetings being in charge of Revs. E. J. Drink- house, J.T. Murray and J. D. Kinzer), all re- ligiously inclined” people be welcomed. Among the tenters may be counted all repre- sentatives of branches of the Methodist church, including the Tabernacle of South Washington, and perhaps, as last year, even Episcopalians. — River Notes.

Another colored woman named Rachael Johnson testified that Clara came to her house, after the cutting, and inquired if Annie Rouths was there, and saidshe had cut her, and intended to cut her guts out the next time she met her; and that some of Annie's clothes were in the house, and Clara took them and cut them into shreds and threw them out, and said that that is the way she would do the woman who owned them if she was there.

Gen. Brinkerhoff was unstinted in his praise of the system of management pursued by Gen.Crocker, warden of the jail, and said that he regarded him as without a superior as a prison superin- tendent, and only equalled by the officer in charge of the penitentiary at Boston. He ex- pressed himself very agreeably disappointed with the management of all the District institutions of charity and reform, as public sentiment out- side the District had underrated them. As Gen, Brinkerhoff has made a special study of chari- ties and prison management for many years, and visited every important prison and charita- ble institution in the United States and Canada, his views are entitled to great weight. sche iS ia Tie CHance or Liner. against Samuel S.

The charter and rules alike de- clare that no persons: shall be elected to office who shall not have:received 13 votes, a majority of both boards. Ithasbeen very often inferred from this that a candidate receiving 13 votes is there- fore elected, and some meinbers of the city council seemed to be surprised that when 24 councilmen balloted for 15 policemen, 17 received a vote of 13 or overs Even now there is some contention on the swbject. It will easily be seen that 24 men, each voting for 15, Persons will cast 360 votes. Now if there be, say 20 candidates, each aight receive 18 votes—20 by 18360: oF 15 might be elected with 16 votes each—240, and at the same time 8 defeated with 15. votes each—120, Several times in the last decade have persons been-defeated in the council for office, though receiving more than 13 votes.

Yesterday afternoon, in Philadelphia, Thos. McDevitt and LeGrand Ensign were arrested and taken by U. 8. marshals before Commission- bbons for a hearing on a charge of conspir- acy to defraud the government in connection with star route frauds. District Attorney Val- entine stated that he was ready to go on and hear the case, but the absence of the defendants’ Counsel made a postponement necessary, and the men were held under $5.00. baii until Thursday. A Baltimore Sun special from Phila- delphia says: “These men are said to have ar- ranged and executed a plan of defrauding the government by raising the prices of carrying mails on routes in the far west, in all of which the inereased price was authorized: by ex-Assis- tant Postmaster General Brady.
