The District Commissioners are gaiuing the thanks ot all classes of citizens from the manner in which they lop oif useless offices and work reforms in the departments of our local government. It is the first time that the District has had two civilian Commissioners who sympathized wholly with the community, who had no personal end to gain, and whose only object was to furnish an honest and eco- nomical administration of our local affairs. The change from former administrations is so marked that we do not believe that any Presi- dent in the future will attempt to palm off on us any more broken down politicians or judges who got wealthy on the bench, Every reform that has been made by the present board has been just what was needed, and it is believed that they will not stop the good work until they have made exch branch of the government as near perfect as possible. a VIRGINIA POLITICS. Hampton Va., Sept. 8th. Since the nomination of Geo. E. Bouden, the old time republicans are jubelent and have expressed their intention to return to the rauks. There is considerable dis- satisfaction in the party in this District, due to the fact that here- tofore the candedate for Congress had so many positions to dispose of and promised five to ten more for every situation within his jaris- diction and now he has none. This evening there will be an indigna- tion meeting in Chesapeake Magis- terial District to denounce the can- didate. Dr. Ellett has been invit- ed by the candidate to be present and it is hoped thatit may end in a grand radification meeting which will make the Peninsula solid with 2,000 majority for the Republican candidate. The democratic party has elect- ed delegates who will meet in Ham ton on the 15th inst. There is no elue to any of their works, it is seriously feared that the mistakes made by the Republicans will work to their detriment. Miss Eva A. Chase, of Wash- ington, sister to the editor of the BEE is here. shed WEST WASHINGTON. 1417 West 28 street. The appointment of Dr. J. R. Frances and Mr. H. Jobnson as school trustees is highly gratifying to the citizens of this section. The excursion to Anapolis on Wednesday, last by the Earnest Workers and Good Will association of Mt.

Bishop’s Hall was well crowded and all manifested their appreciation by prolonged cheeri: g. The next day was spent in sigut seeing, crabing, and fishing. Rev. A.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE FINDS KbtLLY GUILTY AND RE- QUESTS HIS RESIGNATION. LIEU’. JUYCE COMMENDED, There is trouble in the Capital City Guard, is what greeted a representative of the Bre afew evenings ago. ‘The facts as told are 28 follows: For sometime Lieut. Wm. Joice has been chairman of the execu tive committee. This committee is like a father to a large fumily. When Lieut. Jvice rejuined the corps it wxs greatly iu debt, but he said that he would do all in his power to liquidate the indebt- edness of the corps, which he did by hard laber. Col. Ke'ly, it is suid, watched Lieut. Joice with a jealous eye and laid many traps to catch him, but according to the biblical construction Col. Kelly fell in the hole that he had dug for another. It seems that Col. Keliy had secured a date on the B. & U. R. R. to go tu iarpe:s Firry. How he got it and the trouble he had is better told by the corps. He finally submitted the proposi- tion to the corps, whether it would accept the day named by him, which was agreed, and after the excursion instead of a full re- port being made it wasascertained that the sccuuut was short. Lieut. Joice demanded an investigation, which resulted in the dismissal of Col. Kelly, or a request for his resignation at tke meeting last Monday night. Col. Kelly said that he had sent his resignation Yrom Buliimore, atterwhich he stated that he hud withdrawn it. The defense he makes, is that he gave the excursion on his own responsibility and divided between himself and another member of the cops. This is denied by tLe officers of the organization. Col. Kelly’s successor will proba~ bly be Mr. F. C, Revells, com- mander ot Post 9, of the G. A. R. Mr. Revells is a gentlemun of abil- ity and well known in this com- munity. Lieut. Juice, the chair- man of the executive committee is a man of energy and reputation. The sneecss of the Guard is due to him, Capt. Perry and a few others. RELIGIOUS NOTES.

We have learned since the recent storm of Monday evening August 30tb., that a stroke of lighting came near destroying Grace church corner of 9th and D Sts., in that it tore down the rod, and intlam- ed th church with a forge of heat, So intense was the heat, that the jeni- tor cou:d not do more than to open the doors by a push. It is simply a wicked man, who will stroll around the best halt of every uight, and then will not allow his Philanthropic wife to remain absent one night with a sick woman, who is housed alone, in the absence of husband to Philadelphia, without dragging her out at one o’clock in the night by her heal, and beating her unmercifully, This man whose name ani conduct are registered at this office, as well as the lady for.whose care his wife was uearly killed, are members of the Sacred Order of Good sSamuritans. It should be remembered, that a ma- jority of the resident citizens and proper ty owners on G St., who have petitioned tobe included in this years improve- ments are colored, and are entitled to as much respect as though they were white. These improvementsshould also be extended to Half 5t., as well. While land in this eommunity sells from 7 to35 cts. in whole squares and we ure asked to patronize our own -color- ed institutions, let our builving associa- tions come over here and buy up these lots forsale. Let our money men from the North and South, and other pl ees take hold, aud invest their money, before their present blessed op- portunity be converted into a helg-less furture. On account of the large professional practice of Dr.S. A. Sumby, he has been compelied to sell out his drug store, which he did to Mr, John Jobnson, a former cle:k of bis, and Mr. Thornton A. Jackson; two young men well counected in the community with a good bit of business tack. Some of the excursion boats have tied up for the season. The hundreds of colored citizens who are country produce. purchasing building lots now at $300 and 2500, will be worth $3000 anu $3000, in about five years from now. To preserve the future of the race, men must observe the present opportunities, The new and second hand élothi: store of Ss. A. Webb, late of 1126 7th st., north west but now at 610 43 St., s. w. isone of the many places where we should spend ou- money. The dimensions of the Virginia Avenue Baptist church, edifice, is to be 40x60 with a handsome vestry and lecture room; and audience room with baptistery. It will be of press brick, tront on Ist St., aod the best red brick on H, with becoming spires after the latest modern improve- ment.
