DOUGLASS ON ABOLITI He Recites Some of His Recollections of Anti-Slavery Contest. “Fifty years ago I was brought from a jail on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and placed ‘on the auctioneer’s block to be sold,” remarked Frederick Douglass in the course of a lecture last evening in the Congregational church on “My Recollections of Anti-Slavery Times.” The lecture was for the benefit of the free night Schools in this city,and the audience, which was good sized, was mainly composed of those interested in this enterprise. The lecturer was introduced by Senator Blair in the absence of President Patton of Howard university. The Senator took occasion to commend warmly the movement which has resulted in the opening of night schools in this city. Mr. Douglass in continuation of his anniversary ‘recollections, said that on the occasion referred to above his limbs Were exposed to the gaze of the pur- ehasers and examined as if he had been a cow orahorse. Since that time he had seen won- drous changes in bis own condition as well as that of his race, and where sales were formerly held In this city of slaves by the United States marshal of the District, he hiad held that office himself, and he added rather grimly “I believe that there were no slave auctions when I was marshal.” He then went on to say that the re- vival of the bitter memories of the past was deprecated and the fanning of the flames of sec- tional hate was condemned. As far as he was personally concerned he was willing to let the Past be dead if it was really dead. But he did not think it was, and the enthusiastic recep- tion that was being accorded to JEFFERSON DAVIS: was one evidence of it. While slavery had been destroyed, yet the colored race was deprived of their constitutional and civil rights, and shot down in cold blood while attempting peaceably to discharge their duties as citizens. The past was not dead. The slave power never forgot or forgave. It was well then to review the for it reflected as in a mirror the shadows of the future. As to when and how the abolition movement originated which resulted in the overthrow of slavery, the lecturer said that there had been agreat deal of discussion, and vain attempts had been made to trace its origin to the efforts of some one man or set ofmen and award the honor which was due. He had no doubt but that in a few years the Christian ebureh would claim the credit of iuitiating this great moral reform, and the names of Birney, andy, Garrison, Phillips und others would be ignored. So far from the church having fa- Yored this reform it was on the other side. Slavery and Christianity seemed to beon very friendly terms. The chufch bell and the slave auctioneer’s bell chimed together. The proces- sion to the prayer meeting and the procession over the Long bridge to the New Orleans mar- ket went on at the same time. In the earlier years, however, the churches were opposed to Slavery. ‘The Baptists, the Presbyterians, the Methodists and the Quakers one hundred years: agolifted up their voices against this traffic, but when the abolition movement began the CHURCHES WERE SILENT. The speaker referred to a rather curious book which he found in England when he was there forty years ago. It was written by Kev. Mr. Godwin, of Jamaica, West Indies, and. was rinted in 1680. The entire purpose of the Kk was to show, not that slavery was wrong, but that the negroes had a right to be baptized. ‘The master owns the body, was the argument, but God owns the soul, ‘which division, hé added, dryly, left nothing for the poor negro, He had heard so many sermons in regard to the divine right of slavery, when he was a slave, that he came to believe that it was a part of thé Christian religion, and any opposition to it was little less thaua blasphemy. The minis- ters, in preaching to slaves, choose, as a rule, this text: “Servants, obey your masters,” and their discourse was ‘divided as follows: First, you must obey your masters because God com? imands it; second, because it will contribute to your happiness; and, third, because God has put it into the hearts of good white men to cross the seas to your savage coun- try and rescue you “as brands from the burning for the glory of God,and your own salvation, The lecturer than gave some of his expe- riences iu the lecture field in the cause of abolition, and the ebilly reception which he received even in the New England states, and the difficulty he experienced in travelit bout because, as they refused “to take niggers” at the hotels and on tke steamboats, he was obliged to go where they kept the cattle. In conclusion he said that he thought that a review ot the st showed that progress in the condition of the colored race had been marked, and that with education the disadvantages arising trom the conditions under which they had so jong existed would be obliterate 2 perimt THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. A Mass Meeting in East Washington Last Evening—addresses by Labor Leaders. A large audience assembled at Washington hall, corner Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street southeast, last evening at the’ call for an open air meeting of the Clerks’ Assembly, K. of L. Mr. W. H. Daniel presided. The object of the meeting was to further inform the cierks in the eastern section of the elty of the progress of the early closing movement and the objects which itis hoped to gain by the alliance with the Knights of Labor. Mr. P.T. Bowen was the first speaker. He made a long address upon the subject of the rights of the workingmen, and their duty to assert their rights. He urged his hearers to band together now, as by organization alone can they hope to succeed. It wasn't proper fo walt for the opinion of the public, he said, but to compel public opinion to come’ to they by lore what their rights are, the best way vo secure them and then to assert them openly and forelbly, and pablic opinion will soon be arrayed on thetr side. He spoke very forcibly and was frequently interrupted by applause. MR. E, W. OYSTER, president of the federation of trades union, was then introduced, and stated to the clerks that he had come to the meeting simply to assure them of his sympathy in their efforts to secure their is ee He betieved the cause to be a just one. and one that, it properly handled, is bound to succeed. The Clerks, he said, did not have a national organization and therefore they did the proper thing in joining the Knights of Labor. ‘ing men have to contend with the avarice of a certain class of employers. Many of the employers agree perfectly with the claims of the cier! but there are others who hold out for the purpose of gaining by the early closing of their rivals, who favor the working men. These are the men who must be forced. He did not favor boycotting in the least, aud the organization of Knights of Labor are against it, except when necessary. The em- ployer ahduld not be boycotted except as a last ‘MR. OSBORN WARD, of the U.S. labor bureau, spoke encouragingly to the cierks, telling them that the early clos- ing movement is bound to become a popular one, notwithstanding the opinion tothe con- trary of the middle men, who are avaricious for their own benefit. He described the suc- cessful efforts made to secure short hours aud provide seats for clerks in New York. ‘The movement here will be a popularone. ‘The employers here are willing to agree to the de- mands of the employes, but will do nothing ot themselves. They must be propelled. Sym- pathy for the clerks in their effort to secure their rights is proclaimed openly from the pul- pittight here in Washington. He told ‘his earers to be encouraged and go ahead. ‘They should not fear being discharged for organiz- ing. Their employers know they were or- gauized, and the power and popularity of the organization is conceded. MR. T. FULTON GANT was the last speaker, and he discussed the labor problem at length. He spoke foretbly and at times very eloquently. Organization, he said, is only @ primary step. There is something ahead, It is the most serious matter that ever came beiore the country. “We no longer strug- gle to escape our class,” he sald, “but by orga- nization we say that the wage earni: clase shall be che class of America. It will be the arie. tweracy of the country.” He then took up the early closing question, and that by con- corted effort tiey were'sure of suceeua ———>—_—_ ‘Tus Weex’s NuMBER oF PUBLIC OPINION, now on sale at ull news stands, has several pages devoted to opinions from the leading Pupers of the country on the eight-hour move- ment; also several pean colmments on the recent message of the President.

The regular meeting of the District of Colum- bia Horticultural society was held at German hall last evening—Mr. Saul presiding and Mr. W. J. Cogan secretary. Dr. Arthur W. Christio was elected @ member. Mr. Curtis read an article on a collection of orchids in Rochester, and Mr. Saul spoke of the value of @ number of orchids. Mr. T. W. Fowler, who has had great success in orchids, spoke of his experience. He has now about three hundred wing. The question was asked, “What piants will grow in the shade?” and in response a number were named, the list including violets, colum- bine, crocus, lily of the valley, arbutus, most of the Begonia. Azalias (Chinese) should be par- tially shaded, Mr. J. T. C. Clark called attention to mag- nolias brought here tor sale whose roots could. be put in a pot and whose limbs were thin, say- ing he could not be persuaded to plant them. Mr. Saul said that these were grown crowded, and he spoke of a nuinber of the grandiflora, stating that some were tender. Mr. Clark remarked that there was a tree on 10th street above H, which he budded 32 years ago, and it was a fine tree to-day, ‘Mrs. Walker exhibited a specimen of “Bleed- ing Heart,” upon a suggestion by Mr. Clark that samples of roses be brought to the June meeting, Mr. Fishback sald roses were fully two weeks more forward than last year, and that he had pe full of buds, Mr. Thomas W.
