Proposed Worthy Institution,

The Overseers of the Poor in Boston propose
the erection of new building, on a spacious
plan, to be used as Bureau of Charity or
Genital Relief Building for the Poor The
Overseers propose that building shall be erect
ed TO contain the central Office of their Board
and Offices of such charitable societies as may
be willing to cooperate; where the public and
private charities o. the city shall be dispensed
upon system and with concert of action between.
those in charge; where every poor person cal
ling Tor relief shall be sure of finding those up
on whom, if anybody, his claim should be
made, and where there can be thorough
system of registration of the deserving and
the undeserVing poor, accessible TO and sus-
tanned by all those whose business it is to deal
with such cases. In short, the Board propose
to bring together for efficient cooperation the
various charitable organizations, that public
and private charities may supply each others
deficiencies, without waste of the means of
either. m -
The Daily Adcertiser, in which the Over
seers' proposition and appeal are found, says
the city offers to proceed with the erection of
such a building, when private libeiality shall
have contributed thirty thousand dollars,
which is estimated as one half of its cost.

Opening of the Independent oours,

The course of Independent Lectures was
opened last evening, with large and appre-
ciative audience, by Ex-Goy. boutwell, of
Mass His subject was Justice as an element
of National Strength and Unity, and for about
an hour and half he held the undivided at
tention of the house by his cogent reasoning,
his forcibly made points, and his just and ire
sistable conclusions. He demanded that, in
the reconstruction of the South, no element
of injustice shall be admitted; that with any
demand short of this we have no security from
men lately in rebellion for the peace of the
future. The President and Congress called
upon the colored people, in the hour of ex-
tremity, to come up and fight against rebellion
and to sustain the flag; one hundred and fifty
or two hundred thousand of them had nobly
responded; twenty-five thousand had fallen in
lieu of northern white men, who, but for them
would have been called to fill the breach, and
now to abandon those men without first secur-
ing to them all the rights of manhood, would
be crime scarcely if at all inferior to treason
itself.
The lecture was noble one. The course
has opened splendidly, and those who did not
attend denied themselves privilege of no
mean character.
Shaw's Quartette Club afforded excellent
music at the opening and the close of the lee
ture The next lecture will be on Friday
evening next, by Hon. r. II. Dana, Jr.

A Profoundly Wise Correspondent.

n FfoIounoiy WISE correspondent.
On the 18th inst. the Adcertiser and other
morning papers published among the regular
dispatches, the following:
N'f WASHINGTON, Nov. IA.
The President to-day appointed General
John A. Logan of Illinois minister, and VIII
liam A. Browning, of Tennessee. Secretary of
Legation to the Republic Of MeGico. Gen.
Logan is known as a strong and earnest friend
of the liberal cGusein that country Colonel
Browning has been Private Secretary of Pres
ident johnson.
1t seems that on the same day-Nov. 18th
the veracious Washington correspondent of
the Advertiser, "Dion,' wrote letter, pub
lished yesterday morning, Of which the fol-
lowing is the concluding paragraph:
There is no truth in the report that the
Government intend 70 send Mr.. Corwin back
to Mexico, or that a new minister will soon be
sent to that country. Mr.. Corwin was recall
ed on the Sth of August, 1863, because Mr.
Seward saw that the republican government
was tottering to its fall even then, and be-
cause, even then, he had determined that 1t
should fall. When new minister is sent to
Mexico, he sCiU be accredited to MaGi1iilian.
"Dion," in his anxiety TO hit Mr.. Seward, has
just put his foot in badly, and his statement
shows just how much importance is to be at
tached to his sage fulniinations. We don't
understand why the editor of the Adoeytiser,
with his confessed shrewdness and tact, should
have allowed his correspondent to make such
an exhibition of himself, when it would have
been so easy to erase the above paragraph
from his communication, unless he was anx-
ious to take the starch out Of the fellow, and
thus expose his superlative folly. IF this is
the true explanation, it shows that our con-
temporary has not forgotten in lis old age,
how to perpetrate the keenest kind ola prac-
teal Joke.
