The Boston Journal relates a good story of a prominent legal firm in that city, which does a great deal of buisness tor a rich mercan- tile concern. It lately rendered a bill which the senior partner (who was accustomed to liberal charges) thought was too high. He therefore took the billto the law firm and asked the chief to look it over and see if it was all right. The account was suq‘qnently returned with $10 added for “advice as to the reasonableuess of the bill.” THE CITIZEN3 COMMITIER The following is the citizens com- mittee of the District of Columbia that was appointed at a meeting beld in the 15th st., Presbyterian Church, Wednesday evening Feb. 6th, to look after the welfare of the schools and other matters per- taining to the interest of the peo ple.

THE DASTARDLY ASSASSIN The friends of Mr. Samuel W. Stewart sympathize with him on account of the recent assault on bis amiable wife by a would be assas- sin. This was a most cowardly and dastardly assault ever committed in the District of Columbia and the would be assassin should be delt with severly. Mr. Stewart is one of the most quiet business men in this city and bas the resptct and confidence of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He is kind and courteous and the wish of the people is that a law against the carrying revolvers be more se- vere, OUR MISINFORMED TRUS. TEES, THEY ATTEMP. T) DEFEND THE COMMISSIONERS The daily Press published in- terviews of Trustees Francis, Gregory and Cornish on last Tues- day morning relativs to the con- templated action of the District Commissioners. The trustees do not know any more than the citizens so far as the motives of Commissioner Webb are con- cerned in regard to the removal of the Wormley building. Ex-Cullector Cook, Mesara Henry Johnson and John H. Brooks made the statement at the meeting of the colored citizens The two latter gentlemen are au- thority on school matters and the varacity of Mr. Cook stands un- impeached and the cit:zens will be more inclined to believe Mr. Cook than they will Commissioner Webb, and so faras the colored trustees are concerned, they don’t know any more than what the have been told by Mr. Webb. Mr. Cook asserts that the removal of the Wormley school was con- templated. Mr. Webb says not. Mr. Cook, so far as honesty or truth is concerned, no man would dare to impeach him. REV. DR. ©. PHILLIPS OF ISRAEL ©. M. E. CHURCH. On last Sabbath I visited Israel to hear Dr. Phillips for the first time. To say I was pleased would be a faint way of expressiug my appreciation of his effort. Without leflecting upon other pastors, but to give “honor to whom it is due” he 1s certainly the finest and best educated minister the C. M. E. Conference has ever sent to that cburch. As a speaker he is instruc. tive as well as entertaining. Delib- erate in delivery, smooth in his diction, pointed and logical in his argument, earnest in his discourse, and at times, highly eloquent. His discourse on last sabbath morning was, “Jesus the light of the world.’ All enjoyed the services for the Lord was present. There was no breaking of benches and an inordinate ‘yelling and scream- ing,” but the faces of all were bath- ed in tears, and now and then a brother would show the effect of the sermon upon himself by ws hearty Amen! After the sermon the Doctor spoke in the highest terms of the Bex and its editor. Among other things, he said that the Bes was no denominational pa- per, but was interested in all de nominations ali-e and the, general welfare of the race. He, in befitting words, thanked the Editor for so favorable a mention of his labors at Israel. Sorry, Mr. Editor, you were not present to hear for your- self. in concluding his remarks, he advised his people to read the Bre and they would surely know all the news of the District, good and bad. While lam not a mem- ber of Israel but a member of one of the Baptist churches of this city, yet I take the liberty to say that if that congregation is not pleased and Satistied with Mr. Phillips, then 1 can not see bow it will be possible for any oveto please them. Mr. Editor, you said in your editorial of last werek that that “Dr, Phillips was the pride of his congregation.” This editorial led me to hear him. Now, I say if be 1s not the pride of bis congregation he, indeed, should be. Respectfully yours, Observer _ THE EMANCIPATION CON-) VENTION. A HARMONIOUS MEETING—CARSON HIS LIEUTENANTS, A convention of colored citizens was held at Green’s Hall last Wed- nesday evening. Everything was harmoniously conducted by Mr. W. H. Bransom, who was elected temporary chairman and was sub- sequently succeeded by Mr. Chas. H. Marshall who was elected per- manent chairman by a Jarge vote. The fight then was for chief Mar- shal, the two candidates were Col. P. H. Cerson and Rey. Robert Johnson. Rev. Jobnson was neminated by Mr. W. H. Branson and seconded by W. Calvin Chase, and Gol. Carson was nominated by A. St. A. Smith and seconded by Mr. Carson’s faithful lieuten~ ant, John Freeman. CARSON’S DEFEAT was on account of the bad faith ofa few of his ambitious friends who disregarded the Colonels instructions. What those instruc- tions were Mr. EB. Welbun knew and endeavored to carry out. Asitistwogood men will have charge of the Emancipation this year and we shall give them our hearty support. The election was fairly conduct- ed, but notwithstanding, there was a disposition on the part of the defeated aspirants, who broke faith to declare the election a fraud. Every man had an oppor- tunity to vote for his choice and such a vote wus counted. The Careon men got defeated at their own game, but, so far as Carson is concerned, it is believed that he would have kept faith had he been present. “Men who dig a pit for others generally fall into it themselves.” el VIKGINIA NEWS.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING AND OPPOSI- TION TO THE CONFIRMATION OF THOMPSON The Joho Sherman Republi- can League met at the Brg office last Monday night, with John A. | Gray in the chair and W. Ca!vin DEFEATED TEROUGH BAD FAITH OF Chase secretary, A. St. A. Smith, from the committee un eonstitn- tion and by!aws, reported an ex— cellevt constitution and a good set of bylaws for the government of the Leagne. The members of the Leagne are now having their suite made at Strasburger and Son, on F street between Eleventh and Twelfth streets northwes'. In ad- dition to the black suits that will be wormon March 4th, the League will wear gaiter tops. Mr. J. P. Waddletov, of South Carolina, of- fered the followiug resolution in opposition to the confirmation of H. M. Thompson, Whereas Hou, Grover Clevel- and has seen fit to nominate Hon. ‘Hugh M. Thompson, ex.governor of South Carolina, vice Edgerton, removed, as civil service commis+ sioner we the members of the Jvbn Sherman Club, do earnatly protest against his confirmation, for the reason that he, while super- intendent of education of South Carolina, abolished by his infiu- ence the greatest institution of learning in the state of South Caro- lina based on civil service or com- Detitive examihations— namely, the South Carolina University, throngh which white and black were entitled to scholarship through merit. Mr. Waddleton stated that Mr. Thompson has always been inimical to the colored people, and that if he were confirmed no negro would have any chance in passing under or through him; thst his record in South Carolina was enough to cause the Senate to re- ject bis confirmation. Messrs, Smith, Williams and others spoke in favor of the adop- tion of the resolution. On motion of W. C. Chase Mes- srs. A, St. A. Smith and R. F. Williams were elcted delegates to the emancipation convention to be held Wednesday evening Febru- ary 13, at Green’s Hall, R. F.

THE FREEDMENS HOSPITAL. A BEE SCRIBE VISITS THE INSTITU- TION, WHAT THE PATIENTS AND NURSES SAY OF BARNES’ STASMENT. On reading a statement of Geo. Barnes of South Washington, re- lative to his treatment in the Freedmens’ Hospital in charge of Dr. C. B. Purvis, F. J. Shadd and others, a representative of the Bez was admitted through one of the side gates and escorted to the ward occupied by Mr. Barnes. The } scribe was told by Mr. Barnes nurse and those who were with him every day, stated that Barnes was well treated and that no injustice was done him. The scribe also found that the ward iu which Mr Barnes was is kept in # healthy con dition and that white and colored are treated alike. The ward is well heated and ventilated so far as the scribe could observe. In conversa- tion with a few of the sick especially Mr. Young, it was ascertained that the only objection they had to him was the offensive smell of his leg, and that it got so offensive that he was removed to another room across the hall and the nurse stated to the BBE scribe that he informed Dr. Purvis that the man had mon- ey aud the way certain men were running to see him daily, he was under the impression that it would be best tor him to take the money and keep it until the man got well. It is the rule of the hospital that persons who haye any valuables should give them tothe Surgeon in Charge to be kept until the pa- tient is well enough to leave. In the case of Barnes, the Surgeon io Charge requested him to either let him keep bis money or give it to his wife. This was coroba- rated by several sick patients present. Several other wardes were visited by the scribs and was con- vinced that the colored people haye better advantages at the Freed mans hospital than any in the city. A visit to the dining room disclosed THE KINR OF FOOD given. The scribe noticed can- ned corn, lamb, mutton, beefstake, biscuits, coffee, tea, Sc. The meats are all fresh and everything else looked as clean as a new pin. On leaving the kitchen and dinning Toom the scribe next weut to the fe. male ward and found things there as bright as a new dollar. There were colored and white patients lying side yb side, one receiving as much attention as the other. Before leay- ing the scribe happen to stumble up- no one of his friends James Lenard who is sick at the hospital. He knew Jim would tell him if he were not treated well, as he is very par- ticular about what he eats and how he is treated, Mr. Lenard stated that if patients are not satisfied it is their own fault it is not because the officers don’t treat them well. Mr. Lenard is improving very fast and will nodoubt be out in a few weeks. He has a good word for all bands. Another white patient re- marked, that he was froma New York hospital and everything was done to restore his health, but since te has heen at the Freed- mans hospital he knows tha: he faired better in every respect, that the food is better and if badhe come sooner he was confident that he would have been out before sow. A few yards from this patient was a colored man who has the shakes or some peculiar complaint that causes him to shake all over. He said that he was satisfied with his treatment and that he would have been dead bad it not have been for the kind treatment of those in charge of the hospital. There are many old citizens at the Freed- mens hospital who speak well of the kind treatment they are re- ceiving, A yisit to the institution will convince the people of what the Buzz has to day published, All patients that the scribe met while going through the wards were aak- ed how they were treated; if they had any cause to complain and to his surprise he found that none said an unkind word agaiust the authorities of the hospital, qo —___ HOW’S THSL.
