In speaking t a Bre representative about the | charges published against him | and what disposition he intended | to make of them, he said; that he did’at intend to notice them. The charges are too serious for | Mr. Astwood to talk that way. : Astwood said that he is charg with having two wives, — other | X immoral things and still he says} that they are not worth answer- ing. The record of Mr. Astwood | ip the department of State is said by Dr, St.Clare, of the ¢ runselor | division to be first class Whatev- er the charges are on file against | Mr. Astwood, were placed in the hands of the President, who infermed Mr. Astwood a few daye ago, that he could not reopen the} case, which meant that he could! not reappoint him to the San Do- mingo mission, Mr. Astwood is very sore and declares that he] proposes to make war on the President. He will sail for San Domingo in a few weeks and | bring his family to New York, | where he will start a paper and euter to commercial business. } Astwood is @efeated, but he re- tires, the department of State! says, with # good record MRS, LOGAN, The reception of Mra.

Her reception to the nights and their ladies Thureday evening will never be surpassed by any individual, the Executive not accepted.

The officers were Rev. I. 5S. Robinson, president; Sandy Alexander, vice; RK. S. Laws, secre- tary; Wm. A. Creditt, assistant secretary, and Trustee Harrison Gordon, treasurer. The papers on University, Old People’s Home, a Baptist Journal, Unifivation of Charch Fellow-sbip and Home Mis- sious were all logically prepared, | read and discussed as the general | business | unanimously adopted as_ the basis of the Congress, and of racial interests. The Congress— the churches of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, and the Woman Baptist Home Mission, represented by Misses L. A. Rose, M.L. Jordan and Mrs. Lizzie Ganston.

The following resolu- tions, offered by R. 8S. Laws, were, atter able arguments in defense of the race, unanimously passed by the Congress: Whereas, at the recent elections in our newly admitted States in the West, the people gave sentiments expressive of the principles which imbody human freedom. There- fore be it Resolved, That we, the Baptist Congress, now assembled iu the Metropolitan Baptist Church, do hereby acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, in His guidance of our national elections. Be it further Resolved, That whereas, in the great fight now going on in Virgin- ia under the leadership of ex Sena~ tor Wm. Mahone, it requires the united forces of the party to sustain the princ’ ples of the cause; there- fore, we, the body above named, feel it to be our duty to give our prayers, labor and influence to se- cure the election of Hon. William Mahone as Governor of the State of Virginia. The Knights was lost for want of color. A little color bas its effect. Death has no favorites, and neither does the devil.
