The Members of the Old Constitational Guards Meet Agai ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FORTHCOMING ANNI- VERSARY CELEBRATION —THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE PREPARING FOR A PARADE— WHAT SOME OF THE DISTRICT TROOPS DID. Thirteen members of the Constitutional Guards, or Degges’ company, as they were per- haps better known twenty-five years ago, met last evening at Cosmopolitan hall to make ar- rangoments for taking part asa company in the anniversary celebration of the mustering in of the District voluntoors. A quarter of a cen- tury has elapsed since they stood in company front before the War department and responded as their names were read by Capt. MeDowell and volunteered thelr services not only in defehse of their country but of their homes, which were threatened. At that time the company numbered 114, but subsequently 17 men were added to the ranks from the Put- nam Guards. ‘They were commanded by Capt. Wi. H. Degges, a well-known builder and con- tractor in the District, who had. seen service in the Mexican war, and this latter fact as well as his personal qualities soon brought about him volunteers, and under the name which they had selected the Guards were able to present themselves among the first of the District com- panles to be mustered in. OF this goodly num- r that originally filled their ranks, only a corporal’s guard, as it were, attended te meet- ing lastevening. It was thought that the bad weather prevented some from attending, and Dr. J, Lee Adams, who was chosen. president, stated that while he had been unable to obtain a roster of the company, he had made out a list, of the members of the company as well as he could recollect, aided by the memory of others. THE ROSTER, This list, which he read, was as follows: Living in this elty—J. Lee Adams, Jacob Bontz, W. H. Braun, John Bryan, LT. Clem- ents, 8. B. Clements, i. F.

A rather affecting feature of this reunion arose from the request of a member that as the roll was called each one should stand up, So that his comrades,many of whom had not seen one another since they were mustered out, might be able to recognize him. As each one arose his features, disguised by the changes wrought by @ quarter of a century, were eagerly scanned by his comrades in the search for the features with which they had been samiliar in the years gone by. Josiah T. Ford was elected secretary and John. Hewlett treasurer. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Ritter, McKelden and 8, B. Clements, was appointed to conter with the family of Capt. Degges, who died about four years ago, in order to ascertain if they retained In their pos- session the flag of the company. Itwas also thought that the muster-out roll of the com- pany might be in the same custody, and the committee was instructed to obtain, if possible, @ list of the members, and invite those stili living to participate in the parade of the Dis- trict volunteers on the 12th inst., in which it was decided the Guards would articlpate as a ly. In case they were not able to get a list of members from this source the committee Was instructed to call upon the adjutant gene- ral {OF Cony of she roll, The Guards decided to hol F Meeting on Friday night, and hee eee, no farther business, adjourned until at time. RECALLING OLD SCENES. During the meeting many of the survivors indulged in reminiscences of their experience of volunteer soldier life in and around the Dis- trict. The old armory was recalled. It was located on the upper floor of the building on 9th street, just south of E street, From their armory tiey were frequently culled out. torduty in various parts of the city, and on the night ‘when the District troops crossed over into Vir- ginia they were at the draw and were among the first to stand on Virginia soil, Their most perilous duty was when they were ordered out tor the defense ot the upper Potomac and pro- ceeded as far as Seneca, where they had a sharp skirmish with the enemy, and with such good results that the next morning, when the Other troops from the District put in an appear- ance, the enemy had disappeared. They were Teady for duty outside of the District as well as within its limits, and wherever they were asked to go the Guard wero found ready and willing. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, At the meeting last evening of the executive committee in charge of the arrangements for the parade, the committee to make arrange- ments with the railroads reported that the Pennsylvania rafiroad will issue excursion tickets from Baltimore at 2 cents per mile; trom New York, $9.12, and from Philadelphia $5.52—tickets to be sold trom the 10th to 12th inst., good to return until the 14th inst, Capt. Wagner reported that he had visited Baltimore toinvite the Grand Army posts to participate in the parade, and that it was probable that o large Lumber would come over. Capt. P. L. Rodier, chief marshal, asked that the members ‘assist lim in selecting the assistant marshals, eighteen in number, two trom each battalion and two from the Grand Army. The executive committee extended an invitation to all the three-month veterans to meet them at Cosmo- politan hall Thursday evening. THE METROPOLITAN RIFLES, The Metropolitan Rifles were organized in the early part of 1860 in a room in the lower part of the Columbian Law school building, on Sth street, above }. The company was re- -d as One of the best of the new companies in the city. Several parades were mude that year. ‘The members of the company uniformed in gray jacket and caps, with yellow trim- mings’ and black pants with buif stripe, made afine appearance, The Union spirit’ of the Rifles was shown on the occasion of a parade of the Mt.

It was probably the largest company in the three months’ service.

Not a man ob- jected to this movement, buton the contrary he members were disappointed when the order came to countermarch back to the city, the movement having been made to test the feel~ ings of the company, as it was thought that many went into the service with the under- standing that they would not be called on to leave the District, In May, 1861, the Metropolitan boys were quartered’ in the Patent office building, in which were also quartered one of the Rhode Island regiments, They were detalied from UUme to time, as other companies were, 10 guard the public property, and also to arrest certain parties supposed to be gathering intor- mation for the enemies. While in the Patent office building the members of the company were allowed to work at making bunks for the Rhode Islanders, and a number took advan- tage of this privilege and made extra money thereby. Among these was Private Joseph Howard, who, having been paid off, with others, went down to Pennsylvania avenue. Some disorder arose, and Howard was shot and killed by a policeman, May 9th: | Howard was not only a great favorite with the company, but with the Rhode Islanders, and as soon as ii was known that he had been killed by a police- man there was much excitement and a general desire on the part of the men to get out and avenge his death, Asa matter of precaution not & man was allowed to leave the building except In the line of his duty. DOING THEIR DUTY UNDER DIFFICULTIES. Some time afterwards Capt. Nalley, of the Rifles, directed a lieutenant to select ten men for special duty, and at once nearly the entire company turned out of their bunks, supposing that they were to arrest some one in connection with the killing of Howard, They were ail, however, ordered buck, and the licutenat quietly selected his ten men and marched o! having sealed orders to open when he reached 165th and H streets. These, when open, directed him to arrest a certain prominent person sup- ed to be in a house on F street, between 4thand 15th streets. ‘The men were posted both front and rear, and the house was entered and searched, but’ the man wanted was not found. About this time a ery of fire was raised, Willard’s hotel being the place on fire. The lieutenant’s instincts ofa fireman (as he was an officer of the Metropolitan Hook and Ladder company) for the time caused him to forget his military duties. Without relieving his men, he went to the fire, leaving the men on guard, ‘These men were alt firemen, but, having been posted, notwithstanding the excitement within two hundred yards of them, were faithful to their duties. When the fire was over, the liew- tenant, remembering his military duties, re- turned’ to the house and found his men still there. These seutries regarded this duty as the sorest trial they had in tue service, as all were active firemen and anxious to fight the flames, as Elisworth’s zouaves were doiug at the ume, sir adit THE BARBERS’ ASSEMBLY. Two Hundred and Fifty Journeymen Talk Over the Situation. Wet foot prints, all jumbled together by the stamping of many fect, led the way up three flights of stairs to the uppermost chamber of Shea's hail last night. A group of a dozen or more men stood in a narrow passage way, the only light in which came through a triangular loop-hole in the door, making a littie light spot ‘on the opposite wall. Every now and then the door would open just a little way, one more Would squeeze in and the door would shut again. The door opened and shut this way about two hundred and fifty times, and near- ly all the Journeymen barbers of the city were in the ‘hall, when the barbers’ assembly then held a meeting. The large attendance Was not due so much to the great importance of tuis particular meeting as to the gencral inter est that the economic condition of the trade at resent arouses. According to the laws of the Snights of Labor no action could be taken last night concerning the keeping open of certain barber shops on Sunday, as tue indictments against the offending parties have to be made out by a tribunal especially charged with those duties, and cannot be considered by the Bar- bers’ Assembly until their next meeting, Mon- day, @ week hence. ‘The tact that several shops Were open-on Sunday, in violation of the order Of the assembly, and that certain journeymen barbers staid ‘at thelr chuirs, was well known, however, and the Inipartance ot the situation was felt by all the members Of the assembly, who hurried to be present to take part in the discussion that was sure to come up during the evening asa preliminary to the action to be taken next Monday. Much restrained exeltement was apparent. Tho ouly Positive action that could be taken by this meeting was to resolve to furnish ali the aid possible in the prosecution of the offending bar- bers in the Police Court. This they did, and much enthusiasm was manifest. The assembly is determined that shops shall close at 8 o'clock every evening and shall not be upened on Sun- day, and everything that is possible will be done to inforce these rules. At the next meet ing of the assembly the conduct of the offend- ing barbers will come up for action 2nd the matter will be dispused of very prompuy and effectively. Se THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT, The Clerks’ Association Keeping Up the Agitation. The members of the Clerks’ Early Closing as- sociation were in good spirits when they assem- bled last evening. This was due largely to the fact that news was received that two large busi- ness establishments that had been keeping open until eight or nine o'clock had closed that evening at six o'clock. A member of the asso- clation suid to a STAR reporter that one of these firms, that had formerly had a good trade after six o'clock, found that its business done after that hour had fallen oft considerably. “I have noticed,” said a grocery clerk, “that folks who used to wait until eight or nine o'clock at might to get their groceries now turn out with their jugs and baskets about half past five or “six o'clock. The _ first ward,” continued this clerk, “has done splen- didly, and in East Washington the general rule 4s to close at seven o'clock. | Some of these little groceries, with bars attached, are not worth considering, as they do not compete to any ex- tent with the regular grocerymen. Its singular that many clerks iu stores, who have benefitted by our movement, do not come into the associ- ation, 1 wouldn't be sorry if their bosses went back to the old rule. Many of the large stores in the center of the city have accepted the six o'clock rule, and I think have not lost anything about it. ‘Two or three, though, who stand out inst it, Keep others from coming in. Yes, itis probably true, that many clerks do not join the association because they are under some restraint exerted by their employers.” The members of the association are planing to keep up a vigorous agitation. The meetings Of the association are now. held with closed doors, A member, in speaking of this to a Srax reporter, said that ut arecent meetis the way members voted on different proposi- tions was reported to some employers, and in one case, the discharge of a clerk ina store was attributed to this disclosure, ‘At the meeting last evening a communica- tion was read from Nelson Division, No. 2, of P., endorsing the early-closing movement and pledging co-operation. A special commit: tee was appointed to waitupon the women clerks and arrange for their admission into the association, etait Transfers of Real Estate. ‘Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: J. F.

Facts About Their General Conference to be Held in Richmond. From the Richmond Dispatch. This large body is composed of an equal num- ber of ministers and laymen. At the approach- ing session, to commence in this city on the first Wednesday in May, there will be two hundred and sixty-eight delegates from confer- ences embraced in the United States and bor- der country of Mexico and one trom Central Mexico, The bishops of the church, now five in number, are not members of the conterenee, but under the law of the church alternatel; preside over its deliberations and take part in- cidentally in the business. A LEGISLATIVE BODY. This is the only legislative body recognized in the economy of the church, the other con- ferences (annual and district) simply serving to look into the work of the church in all its | rtments and sending out men to do the | a work in the circuits, stations and missions, All done by these subordinate conferences 18 sub- Ject to the review of the general conference,and to this highest court come up all appeals irom the action of the lower conferences and the Tulings of the bishops. ITS Work. This conference only is authorized to alter or amend the disciplinary law of the church, to supervise missionary enterprises, church-ex- tension operations, and the publishing inter ests under the control of the Methodist Epis- ¢opal Church South. ‘This body elects bishops, book-editors, missionary secretaries, Sauday School secretaries, and ‘editors of church jour- uals; also, the several boards having In charge the ‘machinery of inissions, publishing iuter- ests, dec. As the conference duly meets once in jour years, and has under its care and super- vision thirty-two annual conferences, in which the membership numbers about one million, besides mission in China, Brazil, Mexico, and among the Indians, it may readily be seu that ithas much work to do, without taking into consideration modifications and amendments, Which are always brought forward to periect the system in tie minds of so large a member- ship. MISSION WORK. The matter likely to engage and employ the largest portion of the time of the conference this year will be to perfect the plans for mis- sion work. Some of the mission fields are get- ling so large that they have been organized into annual conferences, but they are so dis tant that the economy ef ‘the chureh in having all the ministers and work under episcopal superintendence has been found diflicult to SAEY out. | This will be arranged for probably this year either by electing a mission bishop or arranging to detail one ot the bishops to take the missions under his special charge. NEW BIsiHors, Since the last conference four of the bishops have died—viz., Paine, Kavanaugh, Pierce and Parker, The two first-named were over eighty years old, the third over seventy, while the Jast Was in the prime of manhvod. ‘This teaves the number in office five. Probably tour more Will be elected. As yet little speculation bas elected.

According to the usual custom in New Eng- land, the first experience of Amos Lawrence in the sphere of business was that of shop bo; gud subsequently that of clerk. | When Mr. Lawrence rented @ shop on Cornhill, Boston, and commenced business, he says, inthe mat: ter of property he was not worth a'dollar. His father, however, by placing a mortgage on his tarm, helped him to the extent of $1,000. His own words on this | enn very interesting: “My honored father brought to me $1,000 ani asked me to gi him my note for it. T'toid him he did wrong to place himself in a situation to be made unhappy {I last the money. He told me he ‘guesse wouldn't jose it,’ and i gave him my note. “The first ‘thing I did was to take four cent premium on my Boston bills—the diffe: ence, then, between passable and Boston money—and_ send $1,000 in bills of the Hills borough bank to Amherst, N. ay 4 my father to my brother Luther, to carry to the bank and get specie, principally in silver change, for the bills, and he returned it to me in a few days, In the meantime, or shortiy alter, the bank had been sued, the bills discredited, und in the end proved worthless. I determined not to use tie money except in the salest way, and therefore loaned it to Moses Parkman, in Whom I had entire confidence. After I had been in business and made more than $1,000, I felt I could repay the money, come what would of it, being insured against fire and trusting no one for goods. I used it in my business, but took care to pay off the mortgage as soon as it would be received.” Here we have @ concise, graphic account of the beginning of the business career of one of ion Eugiand’s most successiul old-time mer- chants, According to reliable accounts, in the first year of his business experience Mr. Lawrence cleared $1,500, and in, the second year is rofits amount and grew larger early thereafter as he increased the and extent of bis business, It is also said that he regarded “excessive credit as the rock upon which so many business men are broken.” At the very start of his business career he adopted the wise and judicious plan of keeping an uccurate account of the merenandise bought and suid each day, together with the computa- tion of the proiit aid losses thereon, He states that by the means of keeping tits daily system ol accounting he never found his merchandise fall sport When the semi-annual and annual in- ventdries were taken. By the observance of this course he was enabled at almost any mo- ment to form a more or less accurate opinion of the state of his business. He also, some years liter, made several good rules for the government of his business aflairs, One Was to bave pi rly represent at least 40 percent. inore than he ‘owed, and the other was never to be in debt more two and a balf Umes his capital, All the ulations of his business life were most careful and upright, and AFFAInS OF THE PANAMA RaILRoap Com- PANY.—At the unnual meeting of the Panama rallroad company in New York, the following directors were elected: J.

In response to a joint resolution of the Vie sinia assembly, Gov. Fitzhugh Lee yesterday issued a proclamation urging upon the people and taxpayers to stand by the commonwealth in the debt settlement, The governor says the coupon is the offepring of the funding act, and declares the state not liable for the five millions war interest sought to be fastened on her by the funding bill. Since the war the state hes redeemed $8,000,000 of coupons. All this bag been done’ by people who have Just from a sanguinary war of four years’ ai Whose fiercest and greatest battles were fough! ‘on her soll, whose labor and currency were rt away by its disastrous termination, ming mi people of Virginia have ordered’ the settloment of 1881-'s2, and no abuse of state, no denuncla- Uon of ber officers or agents, will have the htest effect in changing our policy, our =e Purposes, or measures. If the ‘of V ‘Will be true to themselves and to the pledges their representatives they can settle the debt question, and terminate forever the present perplexing and unhappy condition of the State. The remedy is indeed in their own hands, The governor cautions people to refrain from using coupous in payment of taxes, If we Suppose that all pay with coupons it is certain that for several years to come coupons will ab- sorb the entire revenues of the state, the treas- ury will become bankrupt, the courts will be closed, public schools and all, charitable insti. vations of Virginia suspended and operations of the government cease for the want ol means of subsistence. There are $299,642 of past due coupons outstanding and more than $999,387 worth annually maturing. The idea of such in- creased taxation us will meet these and at the same tme defray all necessary e: nses of the state and county governments, is fi'the highest degree extravagant and imprao Ucable. In conclusion Gov. Lee says: “For three reasons I invoke people to meet in thelr accustomed manner in all counties, cities and towns of the state al their earliest. convenient UUme and give emphatic expression to their sem Uments and purposes, that an outspoken decla- ration of public ‘sentiment may visit with its rebuke those who appeal to law to enforce the reception of coupons whose birth and original imposition upon Virgisia was the result of fraud, bribery and corruption.” ‘Mrs. Coolidge Sentenced.
