A LECTURE THAT DIDS'r CONE ORA re-
port having been started In Georgetown a day or
two since, and extensively circulated, to the ef
feet that Rev. Chas. w Denison had delivered q
lecture TO the colored people on Sunday last, and
would address them on political affairs, Wednes
day Qast) night, at the Ebenezer (colOred )church
considerable excitement resulted. Threats were
made 10 lynch the lecturer, and the affair assumed
such serious aspect that Sergeant Newman, Of
the Metropolitan Police, Yesterday morning noti-
fed the Superintendent of Police Of the fact that
trouble might be expected, unless preventive
measures were tiken. The church was lighted
last evening, and shortly after eight O'Clock, a
number Of colored people had assembled inside,
and there was a large gathering Of white citizens
mostly young men and boys-on a corner In
the vicinity. Things remained in StatE quo for
about an hour, the church slowly filing up mean
while and the outside crowd augmenting. Short
" after nine O'Clock, the colOred people left the
church, and the crowd on the corner slow ly dis
persed. No demonstration was made.
IL Is stated that many OF the better class Of COL
ored people were opposed to opening the church
for the proposed lecture, while others were in
favor Of IL.
IL such a lecture was to have been delivered
we have no means Of ascertaining the origin or
truthfulness Of the report-much as we deprecate
any disturbance Of the relation Of master and
slave In this District, except by lawful and con-
stitutional means; we deprecate much more any
evocation Of the mob spirit in this community,
10 deal with question which should be decided
by rational argument, and not by heated and
prejudiced appeals pro and con. Nothing good
can come Of mob violence, no matter how ear
nest the actors may be In their convictions Of
right.
