The Shiloh Baptist Lycenm was crowded as usual on last Sabbath afternoon, with a most fashionable and classic audience. Lawyer T. L. Jones, the presid- ing officer, was on hand and in his accustomed and dignified style, presided over that vast assembly of people The subject of the paper that was re d was, ‘‘Is the present jury system a benefit to the people ?”’ Lawyer Jones in vigorous lan- guage condemned the present jury system, not only inthis country, but in the District of Columbia and de- clared that a majority of colored men, Who serve on juries are cow- ards and are generally influenced by white jurors. Mr. Chase took the same position as did Mr. Jones and thought there should not only be a change in our jury system, but in some of the Judges. THE BETHEL LITERARY. AN EXCITING TIME.—MR. GEORGE C SMITH CREATES A SENSATION. The Bethel Literary and Historica’ ing as usual. duced Mr. Lewis H. Douglass, read a paper entitled “‘Have we a cause.” Upon the platform were seated Hon. B. Kk. Bruce and the ‘‘marked’’ Con- gress. The moment the marked Congress was invited to a seat upon the platform beside Mr. Bruce, he immediately moved to the ether side. Dr. C. B. Purvis, in his usual philo- sophical manner, discussed the paper among other things said, that he in- tended to read the Post, and what more can we expect from a white paper when we take characterless men and give them preferment pointing to the “marked’’ Congress. The applause at this remark was deafening. The paper was discussed by Messrs. Janifer, Joines, Hilyer, and Mr. George C. Smith, who stated that he desired to rise to a question of privilege. The chair recognized Mr. Smith, who said, in a very calm and deliberate manner that he wanted to make an) apology to the house. At this juncture there were from four } to five on their feet calling points of Mr. Fossett took exceptions to Mr. Jones and said that no man should tell a people, if they serve en a jury, not toconvicta man if he is gail'y. Do as your conscience dictates, said Mr. Fossett, and not as some people would mislead you. Lawyer Jones retorted in vigorous and piereing language and told his people that some men were too ig- morant and selfish and too cowardly t tell what is really true. There is too much discrimination in the jury-box, and I know said Mr. Jones, that some negroes « ho serve on the jury should not be there as a verdict is generally reached by them before they try a case. I know, said Mr. Jones, from personal con- tact with some of them,a dI pro- pore, said he, to watch inthe future the verdict of our negro jurors. The music under the direction of Prof. Simmons was well rendered, The exercises to-morrow will be interesting The Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Mstreet, n. w., between 15th and 16th streets, will be the scene of a society function such as its walls have never before en- closed, despite the many distin- guished autiences that time and ain have assembled there. For the first time in its history, it will be graced by the presence of “the first Lady of the Land,’’ the wife of a President of the United States. On the 14th inst., Friday next, (St. Valentine’s day,) there will be held there a concert partici- pated in by some of the best of our Jooal talen:, for the benefit of that noble charity, the Home for the Friendless Girls, on Erie striet, order. The chair stated that Mr. Smith had been allowed five minutes by the house and as hehad not said any- thing there was no point of order to eatertain. Mr. Smith resuming his remarks | again said, among other things, that about two years ago he kad introduced a man to this association and the peo- ple of this community which he regret to say is without character or reputa tion and a man this association in- formed in writing, that his presence would be objectionuble. I regret, said Mr. Smith, that limposed such a Association met on last Tuesday even- Mr. Clark was in the chair and intro- who bers participated. The fourth quarterly conference of the church for the election of the mem- bers of the yarious boards of the church, to serve forthe ensuing year, will be held at the church Wednesday ofnext week. 1 NOTICE!
