Local Matters.

CUBA PUBLIC MEETIsG.-Y estorday afternoon
few printed small bills were posted in prominent
places, headed with the figure Of the American
eagle, and the words Come one, come all, at Gu
ba's call" 1.-THE blood of Crittenden, Kerr, and
others, call for revenge" And the citizens Of
Washington were then invited TO assemble in the
evening, at eight o'clock, in front of the Patent
Office, "ior the purpose of expressing their sympa-
thy for the Cuban patriots and taking into consde-
ration the present state Of affairs" Accordingly,
at the hour named, about four hundred persons
were in attendance. We presume that they who
issued the call were not present, as no attempt
made TO organize the meeting. However,
Captain f. b. Robinson loudly called for.
He directly obeyed the summons, and, having as
cended the steps, delivered brief address in favor
of liberty everywhere, against oppressors gene
rally, and contended for the constitutional right
of the people to bear arms and go wherever they
list with them. He maintained that "Cuba be-
longs to US geographically, and, if the Queen of
Spain should not give it to us peaceably, we will
take il by force" When he concluded other per-
sons called for to address the meeting; but
none responding, the assemblage separated before
nine O'Clock, after giving three cheers for the
speaker.
RESCUE FROM PERIL.-Several days ago
small boy, having merely desire to stand upon
the top of projecting show window, attached to
store on Pennsylvania avenue, endeavored to LET
himself down from the second story for that pur-
pose. But the distance between his feet and the
show window was greater than he anticipated; and
he held on to the window sill above his head and
piteously cried for help. His brother, younger in
years than himself rushed TO his relief and seized
one of his hands, but was unable to draw him up.
A he ipleb a i'm ia att
ton drawn to the scene, flew up the steps, and in
few moments afterwards, in less time than we
occupy in relating the proceeding, rescued the lad
from the peril to which he had mprudently exposed
himself.
RED MEMS VIsIT.-We learn that the Usage
and Tuscarora Tribes Of Red Men, benevolent
order of this city, intend visiting their brethren in
Frederick, Maryland on the eleventh of September.

THE METHODIST CHURCH
CASE

The argument of The great conlro-

the U. S. Circui, Court at New York
on the 29lh ult.
Mr.. johnson, al the close Of his ad
dress. expressed hope, which he en-
Iertalned with the other counsel, that
The case may be amicably settled, even
in advance of the decision. The
Church North, as shown by the re-
marks of their counsel, do no, wish To
hold on TO the feud. lie hoped that
all parties would try SO 10 terminate
this angry and Improbable strife as to
restore peace and quiet, and increase
the usefulness and prosperity of lhe
Church.
Judge Nelson said that some time
must elaPse before the Cour, would b.
enabled 10 take up the case and give
II the proper examination previous to
a decision. Our business is pressing
upon US, (sad he) and SO far as my.
self am concerned, | shall be compelled
10 90 into another circuit and attend

summer; my associate will be equally
pressed; and, consequently, some time
will eIapse before We can 90 into an
examination of the case.
We cannot entertain q doubt, after
a full hearing of the controversy, what
ever might be our final decision on enc
side or the other, that a friendly ad.
JnslmCnt Of the controversy would be-
more satisfactory to all the parties in
Ieresed; and that the future good ot
the different sections oflhe church will
be better obtained by an amicable ad
Jus'meht of the case than by any dis
position of it by the Court.
We may also add, as regards the
power to make final disposition of the
subject, there can be no doubt that an
amlcable and honorable adjustment,
made by The representatives. Of the
various branches in the controversy,
aided by counsel and sanctioned by the
Court, would be binding on the parties.
