Mr. Cross, chairman of the finance committee, stated tuat he had not heard much as to the saccess of the sub-committees on collections, and therefore had not much to report, but from what he had heard very poor prospects were be- fore them. He had heard of but $200 cuaran- teed. Mr, J. C. Erzood, merchant on Louisiana avenue, stated that he could speak for the | square on which he was doing business. He could say that every man on his square in busi- ness would make liberal contributions. Mr. F. K.Ward stated that he had met witha rather cool * | reception in his efforts to collect funds, and felt somewhat discouraged. Mr. ¢ - Cochran stated that it appeared him, from what the country and especially this city had passed through recently, and the | generai gloom that had settled over this com- munity at recent events which had occurred here.he thought it unwise to attempt to proceed | further with the undertaking.

Mr. Wm. E. Matthews called the meeting to order, and Mr. Frederick Douglass was chosen to pre- side. Devotional exer were conducted by Rev. Dr. Rankin and Rey. W. W. Hicks.

Mr. Hicks, of the South ngton tabernacte, who Prophecised a ~ continuance of — dark | ceeds until the country should have an executive who dared assert the national su- premacy in every part of the land.

He requested | the chureh to pray for the aged mother of the dead President. The citizens of Manassas and Prince William counties, Va.. turned out yesterday afternoon and filled the Method Church, the largest in the place, full to overflowing. Colonel Robert Tansill, an ex-confederate, presided. Rev. Mr. Todd ered the address, which gave great satisfaction to the ople. Rev. Mr. Vaughn, Rev. Mr. Marsh, Mr. Kemp and Mr. Baldwinalso took part, and the colored people were repre- sented by Rev. Mr. Williams. The arrangements were mae by a committee of whieh George C. Reund was chairman. Services were held in the Ebenezer A.M.E. ehureh, West Washington, by Kev. J. W. Car- gell, pastor, yesterday. The pastor took for his text Psalm xe.,5. His remarks were im- ressive and effective. Mrs. Lydia Queen, of venns)lvania, and Mr. Plato Lee made remarks. Miss Julia Thomas presided at the organ. The following selections were rendered: “Neare! My God to, Thee,” and “Shall We Meet Beyond the River.” Atthe Third Baptist Church (colored) the fervices were conducted by the pastor, Rev. William B. Jefferson.

The term carnival sugge something of a comic or grotesque nature, and the ideas of many are associated with the comical display held'on Pennsyivanis ral years agi after the layi What has been suzgested in pl demon- stration is to have a series of tableaus, and instructive, illustrating the eountry since its civilization: the di Commbus; landing of the Pilgrims; ississippi; throw ove at Boston; battle of Lexington and Concord; signing of the Declarat and other great sul country’s history. Such a scheme carried out would far ex adopted by other cities, as far as is known. All grotesque representations should be excluded from the plans. Such a representation would not be open to the objections commonly ur against the carnival. They sh these French guests appropriate! as they have been invited. It would be diszrace- ful not todoso. These visitors should have a continuous ovation, and why should there bea break in the continuous chain in this city, the capital of the country? A military escort. fire- works, an illumination of the dwvelling-houses, does not ameunt to much in the way of cost. It would not require so great an outlay; £10,000 would probably be sufficient to carry it through. om ths credit of tne city they should set to work. The secretary, Mr. Weller. said he was in favor ofa system of tableaux and tie other portions of the program suggested by Mr. Dickson, and he was strongly in favor of carrying this thing on, and he hoped Mr. Dickson would make some motion of a definite character. MR. COCHRAN CALLS ATTENTION TO AN IMPORTANT MATTER. Mr. Cochran stated that he thought well of what Mr. Dickson had suzgested. He wished to call attention to one prominent fact. and he hoped the reporters would take notice of it—this is, the conspicuous absence of almost every gen- tleman of wealth in this District. The men best able to help on this hospitable work do not attend our meetings. The absence of every- thing fantastic should be discarded and a series of interesting and instructive tableaus should be substituted. Mr. Dickson remarked that the whole cost of this would not be great. He thought he could almost guarantee one-sixth of the amount needed. The estimate had been placed at $10,000, which he thought ample, and it should be raised in a day under such circumstances. A military display. music, tableaus, fire works and iltuminations can ali be zotten up in time. A MODIFIED TLAN. He offered a resolution, ‘that the celebration to be given in honor of the foreign guests that visit the capital during the Yorktown centen- nial celebration, consist of a military and civic procession, an illumination of Pennsylvania ave- hue, decorations and display of fire works and appropriate music.” ¢ resolution was adopted unanimously, and on motion of Mr. Geo. W. Cochran, a subscrip- tion paper was opened on the spot, and in less than twenty minutes the following sums were subscribed and most of the cash pianked down: J. Dent, #100; F. K. Ward, $100; C. C. Glover, $100; W. Morrison, #50; L. Woodbury, g Gen. MeKibben, #50; J. C. Ergood, $20: 8! Ben- singer, $20; Hill & Duvall, $10; Weller & Re- petti, £20: Joseph Lansburgh, $25; G.

This day is also generally ob- served by the Hebrews, and lasts for twenty- four hours. There was a fire on Mr. H. S. Davis's farm in the county last night about 11 o'clock, which destroyed the barn with several carriages and a number of farming implements, together with $600 worth of hay; the loss being about #1.600. ‘This morning a drunken man created some ex- citement at the corner of 8th street and Penn- sylvania avenue by asking for a pistol and a horse in his ravings to go down to the Jail and kill Guiteau. Officer Breen led him to the sta- tion for a quiet nap on a plank. National Ritles. See notice. Detective Malone, of Albany, arrived here yes- terday with a requisition from Gov.
