The Musical and Literary As- sociation held its usual inte - meeting on Friday evening last. The Glen-Echo Glee Club of South Washington was present and rendered several choice selec- tions of music. A concert and cantata was given by the Literary on Thursday evening for the ben- efit of the Ebenezer A. M .E Church, which was a, grand suc- cess. Rev, T. O. Carroll, pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Chureh, has com- menced a protractive effort and from indications of last week’s meetings bid fair to be an increas- ed membership, The Rev’ud is much beloved by his congrega-~ tion and has a large following. The teachers of Mt. Zion M. E. Sunday School have o:ganized a series of young people’s praise meetings every Sunday afternoon at 4 o0’clock.

Church is very zealous worker and expects to make some very needed improvements at his church Shortly. 7, Editor of the Brg: Your paper, very properly claims to ve, and is a news paper. The most conspicnous incident recently aunounced, is the paper on “Islaimism” by Dr. Blyden, aud the attention attracted toward the subject by the people in the face of tradition and the teachings of different Sects. If the native African can be the better for its introduction, with profession and practice so evident~ ly a practical part of the system. The American Negro, uufurtu- nately, from generations of op- pression suffered by his ancestors aud impressed upon him, until be has become evidently, inferior to the parent stock in manliuess, vim and honor, would, no doubt be helped out of his condition, or as the senior of the Advocate likes to say, his environment by giving ita test. Mr. Blyden is distiu- guished, and reliable authority, we do not have to go out of America to prove the difference between the teachings aud practice of a spurious Christianity. The native African spurns it as given by the missionaries’ tables or Mohame- danism tbe other and becomes bet- ter. The American descendant clings to the false teachings of the other, and becomes greedy, unre- liable, treacherous and lying; all in the name of Christianity, turns his hands and his schemes against his people, and helps the enemy. To parody Madame Rollarid’s celebrated apostrophe to Liberty, “Ob! Christianity, what crimes are committed in thy name!” So let us examin the claims of Islai- mism. as The appointment of Col..Hol— land to a position, will give a boom to the administration work in Ohio, it is timely aud deserved. Virginia, if heard from, tarough Hon. J. M, Langston‘ in such wise as would leave no boubt of strict integrity, and fair dealing to adis- tinguished mau, would simplify matters immensely. The League is said to be grow~ ing in popular favor, well, any honorable and bloodless means which will stop these outrages, bloodless, min4, will be the only honorabie and truly brave method for both parties, and ali races. Oh! I came near forgetting to ~ay that, like little George Washing- ton, I cannot tell a lie, so as the last Advocate, tbrough its ‘ Jun~ ior” has made it clear there is a “Senior” and as simple denials do not amount to much, when the other party can do the same, and when as the intelligent citizens know that both white and black bave been tinkering in this very town at what they call Theosophy, for twelve or fifteen years. It is nonsensical to parade names. The“ Sunday Post” ought to know as much as the pin-teather ideas of some. “TI take it on mayselt”. Pix did not attack any one, and does not propose to do so. The tew fibs about schools can remain. Pix is giving news, the most im- portant item of which is, that the junior Advocate who attacked a Non-de-plnme says for a certainty he knows Vodovism. Pix: eee ALEXANDRIA NEWS. Miss Gray’s SUIT FOR SLANDER. A PKAVE WoMAN’S FIGHT TO sUs+ TAIN HEX HONOR. RoBInson To BE CARRIED INTO THE CRIMINAL Court. Miss Sarah A. Gray, principal of the Colored Public Schools of Alex- andria, Va., througa her counsel, J. M. Johnson, Esq., brought suit in the Co-operation Court, last week, against R. B. Robinson, for slander. Robinson preferred certain char- ges against Miss Gray to the Sup- erintendent of Schools, Hon. R. L. Con, and declared to that gentle- man that he could prove them. Mr. Con, requested Robinson to put them in writing, which he did. The time was set for the investiga- tion for Mr. Robinson to prove his charges, accompanied by his wife, he met the Committee but to Robin- son’s surprise he foand that Miss. Gray had counsel to which Robin- son objected. Mr. Con over-rnled his objections avd intormed him that he could do likewise, the case was then postponed to T--urs- day August 22., to give Robinson and bis wife time to employ coun. sol. Instead of Robinsou and his wife making their appearance, ie sent the following note: Washington, D. C., August 15. ’89. Hon. R. L. Con, Dear Sir: I am satisfied that I acted hasti- ly in prefering charges against Miss Sarah A, Gray. I know nothing to her discredit. I beg leave to withdraw all charges against her, Respectfully yours, R. B. Robinson Miss Gray not being satisfied with such, aud she so expressed it to her friends. The School Board directed her to institute a sait a- gainst Robinson for slander, which was done. The case came up in the Oo-oper- ation Coart on last Fiiday, Judge Norton presiding. Robinson was represented by Messrs. Holt and Brent, two of the best lawyers in the city, and Miss Gray was represented by J. M. Johnson, Esq. whom itis claimed, is the best lawyer in the city. The plea the defense set up was a plea of satisfaction, which the Court over-ruled ou a demurrer by the Counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Con, the Superintendent was first called, who testified to the good character and ability of Miss Gray, and other matter pertaining to the charges. Miss Gray was next called, who identified some letters writen to A. J. Clemons by her, which contain- ed nothing to her discredit, and nothing that she could not explain to the satisfaction of the Court and jury. i Other witnesses testified in be~ half of Miss Gray, as to her where- abouts on the evening charged in Robinson’s charges, Robinson, who made the charges was next called and stated how he found out that Clemons was not married, &c. The counsel for the plaintiff asked him why he left the 6th Auditor’s Office? Robinson said: becaase he wanted to. When ie was further questioned he admitted that certain letters had been broken open by an- other man and it was put on bim, but when Ex-Sixth Auditor Me- Grew was called he testified that he caught Robinson in the act, that Robvinson’s father pleaded with the Auditor not to prosecute his son, criminally, which request was ad heared to, and Robinson was al- lowed to resign. After other testimony was given the case closed atter the arguments by counsels. The case was given to the jury Saturday afternoon, on Monday morning the jury came into Court, and the foreman stated that it would be impossible for an agree- ment to be reached, so the judge J. .
