In summer the dust almost blinds the residents and pedestrians, and in the winter mud makes it almost impassable, A little of the money about to be spent on the extension of Massachusetts avenue could be used with more propriety and be more in accordance with right and justice on New York avenue.

Dovgiass 1x EvRors,—Following 1s an eXtract from a letter received at Jefferson, Texas, from Liverpool, written on September 27 by Frederick Donglass: “Iam agaib ou the soil of dear old England, The contrast be- tween my present visit and that of 1846 is striking. Then I came as a slave; now I come as a free man; then as an alien, now as & iti- zen; then T was young, now ‘I am compara- tively old; then’ to plead the cause ot my brethren in bonds, now to tell of their freedom and progress.” Douglass expects to spend the winter on the continent, and the following summer in England, Scotland and Ireland, He says he wants once more to look into the faces. and hear the voices of the few remaining friends who gave him sympathy and support during his visit forty-one years ago. pei UA td Mency of THe Court Nor OFTEN Mis- PLACeD.—In the Criminal Court Saturday, Mr. H. Hi. Wels called attention to an old case, Edward McRae, indicted for forgery, stating that he had moved the court nearly three years ago to accept a plea of guilty and to suspend the sentence. Judge Wylie had doubts then, how- ever, and he now renewed the motion. He stated that since then the young man tad lived an honest life and he believed his reformation to be permanent, The district attorney re marked tnat he had no doubt as to the power of the court to suspend sentence, and in this ease he bad no objection to that course, Judge MacArthur said that he had adopted this course in a number of instances in the past few years, and he believed it had @ very salutary effect, for In but one instauce he hud heard of, hud 1t been shown that the confidence of the court had been misplaced, and in that case when the party came up agai he received a much se- Verer sentence than would have been given in the first case, so nothing was lost. His experi- ence had been such that he would not hesitate to follow this course in meritorious cases, gees THE MOTHER oF TWENTY-FIvE.—An old col- ored woman named Catherine Hickman was before Judge Snel Saturday charged with mak- ing use of bad language on the street. The old woman said she was arrested on a spite war rant and denied the churge. She sald she was “de mudder of twenty-five living children, and Fas telling de truth, fo' God.” She was dis- harged, THRowN From His BugGy.—Mr. Chas. F. Holbrook, residing at 35 H street northwest, Was thrown from nis buggy at the corner of 9Ub and H streets northwest, yesterday, in conse- quence of his horse running away, and be Wes badly injured about the bead. ' He wi al- tended by Dr. Wollhuupter and removed to his home in the patrol wagon by Officer Ken- nar, A Love Affair in Court. — THE REOPENING OF AN OLD CASE ISVOLVING A WESTERN UNION OFFICIAL.

MR.

There is nothing serious the matter with him, asallhe needs isa good long rest, free from worry and excitement. Mr. Powder- ly’s place was filled by General Secretary Litch- man, who made a good presiding officer. STATE ASSEMBLIES AUTHORIZED. The consideration of the revision of the constitution was continuued after THE Srar’s telegraphic report closed Saturda; and the amendment referring to state assem biles, the first article of the constitution, was discused. A delegate moved to amend by making the formation of such assem blies permissive instead of compulsory. This was carried, and the article as amended was adopted. The jurisdiction of district assem- blies now existing is theretore not to be changed without their consent, The ehances for state assemblies are thus not much better than they were before the general assembly met. The regulations governing national trades districts were not changed. ‘There is said to be no intention of abolishing such districts, and they may exist side by side with state assem- biles, if there are any, and with trades councils, ONE DELEGATE HEREAFTER TO 3,000 MEM- BERS, The representation in the general assembly has hitherto been one for every 1,000 members or majority fraction.

INTERCHANGE OF WORKING CARDS WITH TRADES UNIONISTS, The assembly's work during the afternoon was important, but before it adjourned it put on a capstone to its day’s work by deciding that working cards may be interchanged between knights and trades unionisis—that 1s, that Knights and trades union men who are not knights may work on the same job. This action recognizes unions as being entitled to existence as well us the order. It seems toarguea change of heart on the part of the leaders of the order, @ majority of those recently elected being known as opponents of the unions, THE KNIGHTS OX SUNDAY. ‘Yesterday was a dull day for the K. of L, dele- gates.

A TRIAL IN WHICH THE NAMES OF WELI> KNOWN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SMIRCHED. The trial of Lawyer Haseltine for killing Banker Morse at Stevens Point, Wis, bas brought to light most sensational testimony, The trial has lasted a week and bids fair to last many more. The legal sparring between Daniel W. Voorhees, who appears for the de- fense, and Congressman Winans, for the state, has been very savage. The defense is seeking to sustain its special plea by showing a cause for insanity in the scaudulous relations between the detendant’s Wise and Amos W. Morse. With thisend in view no stone has been lett unturned, and the names of a dozen persons innocent of Mrs, Huseluine’s downfall and of the ‘tragedy that followed it have suffered.
